Fire Escapes for the School House.

There would seem to be a growing SEN
timent In favor of furnishing fire escapes
for the union school building in this city.
Whether. or no this sentiment is founded
upon good reasons our school board can
alone authorltatiyely decide; but if there
are coed reasons for adding such features
to the building in order to make it COM
pletely safe for those occupying the upper
rooms, there should be no hesitancy
whateyer on the part Of the board to have
them added At once, and tke Alert would
kindly suggest that the matter be given
prompt and careful attention. ~

THE elections this week will call tor q
new deal in the probable candidates of
b,,h parties for president mex: year. 1t
lays Ben Butler in the shade as figure
in the democratic national convention,
and for tins purpose influences were no
doubt used against him by other aspirants
or In the interest OF others, though he
would perhaps have hcen showed in by
the gravltation of his own unpopu'arlty.
Some imagine they can see the hand Of
Tilden in the result of the Massachusetts,
election.
The result IN New York will be some
thing of boom for Tilden, and perhaps
more in his favor thnn if the democratic
majority had been large, for it will i'm
press upon the party the idea that it is a
doubtful state and the importance Of
nominating a man who can carry it, and
Tilden can DO it On the other hand the
result cannot be looked upon a. an en- :.
dorsement of President Arthur, and with
Tilden in the field to carry the state, 1t
will virtually cxpunge the name of Ar
thur from the list of available candi-
daIes. a,.; .,l
Ohio will no doubt come to tue front
with another candid tie for nomination,
but the greed of that state has too thor
oughly disgusted the people of the ma
tion at large in both parties to give that
state any show ln either party. "
If the republicans tacitly concede the
loss Of New York John A. Logan of ILL.,
nois may lsom up as western man and
walk off with the nomination. Blaine.
in "thIowing off"to defeat Grants NOM
ination in Chicago three years ago, lays
him on the shelf. Although John A..
Logan stood like Gibraltar for Grant in
that convention he did not make fool
of himself by kicking over the nonina-
ton of Garfield, and there are perhaps
less old scores and factional prejudice
laid up against him than any other prom
inent leader of the party, and it would
seem the signs of the times and result Of
the elcc t,ons pe!ntto HIM as the coming
man. ittt

EX general manager Haupt OF the
Northern Pacific railroad has issued the
following circular to the employees of the
road:
To the Officers and Employees of the
Northern Pacific Railroad:
ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 2, 1883.
GENTLEMEN:-ln severlng my connec.
ton with the Northern Pacific Railroad
company oinnPPaayy | desire to express my appreci-
alton of the zeal, inte,,igs and and fidelity
with which my efforts to discharge official
duties have been seconded by you. II
any Que prominently connected with the
service has failed in loyalty to the inter-
ests which 1t was his duty to protect, or
has used his official position to advance
private and personal interests to the neg.
lect of the highe: duties and obligations
which he owed to the company, have
failed to discover it.
My personal relations with heads of de-
partments have been particularly cordial,
and trust that the harmony that now
exists between them may remain un-
broken. .-
One of my chef regrets in leaving the
service of the company arises from the
fact that my plans for the elevation of
the service, the Improvement of the con-
ditiou, and for making suitable provision
for the care and comfort of the various
classes of employees, cannet now be car
ried into effect.
will add that so far as these plans
had been communicated to President
Willard lie has been in sympathy with
them, and gave orders at one time to
erect commodlous boarding houses on all
the divisions. to be furnished;with lava
tories, reading rooms aud other cou-
veniences. but the execution of the order
was suspended for financial reasons. Mr..
Willard is disposed to do all that clrcum-
stances will permit to promote the COM
fort aud improve the condition of all
classes of employees, ,and is worthy of their
loyalty and respect.
Wishing all the largest possible meas
urc Of happiness and prosperity,I sub
scribe myself your friend,
II. HAvry,

Vexing Willard.

New YoRk, Nov. 7-John j. Bradley,
who began suit In the superior court
against Henry Willard and the directors
OF the Northern Pacific railroad conpa .
ny, has given notice of his intention to
apply to the United States circuit court
ou November 9th to have the case re-
mandad to the state court. He CLAIMS IN
his petition that his case is not against
the company but against Willard, who is
resident Of New York state, and that
consequently there is no ground for
changing the Jurisdiction. He proceeds
against Mr.. Willard for wrongfully issuing
aud without consideration to the compa-
ny 18O, coo shares of common stock; for
declaring scrip dividend Of q, ,967, 400
and illegally issuing script to that
amount, and for making contracts be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the Ore
gon Transcontlnental company, IN both
of which he was interested to
the detrlment of the former and the adj
vantage Of the latter. Mr.. Bradley al
leges that Mr.. Willard and his associates
are responsible and should be held to &C.
count to the Northern Pacific railroad
company for any loss occasioned by their
action. He shows that the value of the
10000 shares of common stock alleged
to have been improperly issued the SCRIP
illegally issued and interest upon it, both
from date Of issue, would be sufficient to
l'quldate the present indebtedness of the
company 10 the Oregon Transcontinental
company for which purpose mainly the
second mortgage bonds are to be issued.
