Fisk employed somebody to repair the
roof of the Pioneer Hook & Ladder
house, about II month ago, and the
city of course paid well for the work.
Since the late snow storm the roof has
been leaking worse than ever. We saw
two members Of the company working
on the roof yesterday, trying to stop
the leaks. If they will divide with
Fisk he will probably see that they are
paid for their work.

In writing for the press waste no
time on introductions. Don't begin by
laying out your subject like a Dutch
flower garden, or telling your motives
for writing. The key note should be
struck, if possible, in the very first sem
tence. A dull beginning often damns
an article; Il spicy one whets the appe-
tite, and commends what follows to
both editor and reader. Above all,
stop when you are done. Don't let the
ghost Of your thought wander about
after the death of the body. Don't
waste a moments time in indicating
your production, against editors or
critics, but expend your energies in
writing something which shall be its
own v~indication.

There came near being II very de,
structive conilagration in the mail ear
attached to the west bound Union
Pacific passenger train which left Spoon
Lake for Omaha Saturday morning.
One of the mail bags had been piled so
close to the stove that it took fire Just
as the train was going on TO the bridge,
and it was only by the most strenuous
efforts on the part of those in the car
that the flames could be subdued. As
it was, several sacks of mail were, with
their contents, more or less damaged.

A Step Forward.

General Neal Dow, the father of the
Maine law" embodying the principle of
prohibition, has prepared what is denomi-
mated felony bill,' which is before the
Maine Legislature, and has been referred to
the committee on temperance. 1t is a
thorough-going measure, and is offered to
take the place of all other laws on the sub.
ject of liquor-selling, which are to be re-
pealed. The first conviction for single
sale is to be punished by fine of two hun
dred dollars and six months in Jail at hard
labor; the second offence by the same fine
and year in the state prison at hard labor.
The sale of two quantities at the same time
to one person constitutes common seller.
Apparatus for selling liquor is to be taken
as evidence of guilt. Displaying sign in
dicating the sale or manufacture of liquor
is made an offence punishable by fine of
five hundred dollars and six months in Jail.
Bonds of one thousand dollars are required
of persons arrested for selling, and no 0hrety
previously convicted of selling shall be re.
bVi'cu' <hu tAhd VI uOlidiS
is offered to officers for conviction. County
attorneys cannot enter a mol. pros, this
power being reserved to the court. In de.
fault of payment of fines, year is to be
added to the sentence of imprisonment. So
much for people who sell liquor. The bill
also prohibits the bringing of liquor into
the state, even for private parties. Runners
who take orders and make sales are to be
fined one thousand dollars and costs. and
imprisoned for one year in the state prison.
Officers are not to surrender liquors seized,
except by order of court A horse and
wagon drawing liquor are to be seized and
confscated. All persons are to be response
BILE for liquors found on their premises, and
must prove their innocence. Finally, any
one arrested as a common drunkard is to be
sent to Jail for one year, but may be re-
leased on the conviction of the person who
sold him the liquor. The state temperance
convention at Augusta endorsed this meas
ure, asking the Legislature for e such further
measures of REFRESHING as shall be deemed
needful for the absolute suppression of the
liquor in the state" The report of the
committee will be looked for with much
interest.

The Russian War.

The war in Europe between the Turks
and the Russians has ceased. And, better
yet, the threatened participation of other
powers in a general war has doubtless been
averted The terms of peace are substan-
TALLY such as were to have been expected.
Bulgaria is made principally, and thus
left practically independent of Turkey. She
will be under the influence of st. Petersburg
rather than of Constantinople. war in
demnity of unknown sum is exacted or ter
ritory instead. AS Turkey is utterly impov-
erished, this condition probably amounts to
the cession Of portion of Armenia. The
Independence of Roumania, Servia and Mon
tenegro is guaranteed with some increase OF
territory for each The provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, which do not gain full in
dependence like their neighbors and which
will continue the arm of Turkey nominally
extended to the Austrian frontier, are prom
ised reforms. Turkey is required to evacu-
ate Erzeroum, which adds color to the ex-
pected cession in Armenia, and also to aban-
don her stronghold in the Quadriateral,
which henceforth belongs not to Turkey but
to the principality of Bulgaria. And finally
the understanding as to the freedom of the
Black Sea and Dardaneles is yet to be
clearly and fully defined by the great powers
of Europe. -.
In surrendering the latter clause to arbitra-
ton, the Russians have shown great moder-
alton. BY the treaty of Paris, concluded in
1856, the neutrality of the Black Sea was
guaranteed, and the passage of Russa's
war vessels through the Bosphorus and OAR
danelles was denied. This crippled her
power immensely, and was doubtless the
boon she hoped to gain by the war. Its i'm
portance to Russia is simply incalculable,
and with Turkey PROSTATE it reflects great
credit upon her generosity that she did not
seize the coveted prize at all hazards. With
the overwhelming triumph and the com.
manding position she now gains, she will
insist upon the full freedom of the Black
Sea and the Dardanelles for her war flag as
well as for her merchant marine. This adj
tress of those waters, and though she halts
her armies before Constantinople now, she
can hereafter, if she chooses, send her fleets
against the picturesque and squalid capital.
The question is thus one of the first import
ance to Europe. The position of Turkey
as an element in the balance of power, and
the policy to be adopted respecting her diff
ferent provinces and populations, are also
questions of interest to Europe, and all of
them will be the theme of discussion in the
general conference which has been called.
1t will be observed that while the terms
agreed upon do not absolutely annihilate
Turkey they greatly weaken her power and
render impossible the preparation of such
atrocities as have been laid to her charge.
In this view of the case the issue of the war
is greatly to be rejoced over.

A MeritOriOus Society.

To our thoughtful people, the problem of
the proper education and protection of the
children of the lower and criminal classes
has proved a most vexatious one. They will
consequently read with satisfaction that the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children in the city of New York recently
celebrated its third anniversary. which was
the occasion of much enthusiastic congratu
lation, both upon the work accomplished and
its growing strength and popularity. Dur
ing the past three years it has relieved and
placed in homes or institutions seven hun
bred and ffty-six children it has secured
two additional laws in the government OF
that state in the interest of children and
has led directly or indirectly to the passage
of invenile laws In nine other states; to the
formation also of similar organizations in
other cities; while general attention has
been awakened both in this and foreign
countries to the objects of its organization
Its special field of labor in New York has
been among that class of children who
through the tyranny or brutality of parents
and guardians are exposed to degrading and
excessive toll Also to provide. safe and
comfortable homes for those unfortunate and
destitute little creatures who have no homes
aud are exposed by their conditions to the
contagious vices of the worst classes of the
population of that city, where they learn
those first lessons in crime which prepare
them for the penitentiary and state prison.
There is broad field of work before the as.
ISOLATION, and it is doubtless to form in all
of our largest communities an important ele.
ment in the progressive benevolences of the
future,

officers OF the ship. The storm in which she was
wrecked was one of the most severe ON record

Chivalry Sampled.

A few weeks ago, when General NJ c.
Butler, of South Carolina, otherwise known
as Hamburg Butler, obtained his seat in the
United States Senate, IL will be recollected
that not only the notorious Patterson, his
colleague, but several democratic Senators
from neighboring states took special pains to
extol him as worthy scion Of noble race.
They could hardly find in The dictionary
words of eulogy strong enough to express
their admiration for his rare qualities of
head and heart. He was the soul of honor
"a chevalier without fear or reproach. But
events which have recently come to light
would seem to demand qualification, or at
least an explanation of their high sounding
eulogies. The records of a suit lately tried
in New York show that in 1874 certain per-
sons in New York saw chance to utilize
"the taxpayers convention" then about to
be held in Columbia, South Carolina, in
stock speculation. The bonds of the state
were then selling at sixty-fve cents on
dollar, and it occurred TO these spectators
that if the convention, understood to be COM
posed of or to represent the conservative and
rich men of the state, would declare in favor
of paying these bonds, their value would rise
enough TO make handsome profit for timely
investors. These men sought the aid of this
Butler and NJ. w. Gary, a prominent demo-
crat, and concluded an agreement with them
to the effect that, in consideration of Butler
and Gary's using their influence to procure
the passage of resolution approving the
payment in full of all the present bonded
debt of the state" the New Workers would
pay them ten per cent. of the net gains that
may arise from the purchase and sale of at
least five hundred thousand dollars of said
state bonds, the increase to be measured by
the advancement due from an endorsement
of the public meeting" etc. This agree
ment, bearing the signatures of Butler and
Gary, was produced in evidence in the trial
of the case above mentioned. Butler and
Gary performed their part of the agreement,
but the bonds did not rise, though the con-
vention passed the desired resolutions, and
the broker who purchased the bonds brought
suit to recover his losses from the principals
in the speculation. Mr.. Butler appears to
be as venal a statesman as any of the carpet
baggers whose depravity he has been in the
habit of denouncing. A propensity to muir
der is Objectionable in a public man, and so
is pecuniary corruption. South Carolina
has had statesmen who were eminent in each
of these kinds of iniquity. General and Sen
ator NJ. C. Butler seems to excel in both, and
is, therefore, the worst of those who have at
tanned political notoriety in that unhappy
stata

BETTER THAN NoTHING.-The Senate
finance committee has yielded a little defer.
ence to honesty by preparing an amendment
to the Bland bill providing for delegates to
an international commission to establish the
proper functions of silver as money. If Con
gress will postpone the Bland bill until such
commission, it can then act with more in.
telligence, if not with more integrity. What
ever the leading commercial nations could
be induced to agree upon as a proper ratio
between gold aud silver, and proper share
OF work for silver as money, could probably
be adopted without wrong. But this would
not satisfy the selfshness which takes GER
tain satisfaction in paying with ninety cents
a debt of dollar.
