FIRE DRILL.

EDITOR BULLETIN There have
been some structures on our Fire
Department lately in various news
papers, which do not seem to be
wholly undeserved and | would
suggest remedy for them which, |
think, will meet with general favor,
if closely examined into. In Austria
liza, every city, and even large vii
lage, has its local Fire Brigade.
Once Il year n picked team from
each meets at some previously
selected town and completes publicly
for prizes given for excellence in the
various departments of iire-extin-
gushing and life. saving as far as
known to the Associations. Great
interest in taken in these compet-
tions. not only by the members of the
different companies but by the Gov
ernment and the public in general.
Valuable prizes are offered and, on
the days of the competition, the
whole town in which ii takes place
puts on an aspect of holiday-making.
Torch-light professions take place
in the evenings, each company taking
part, headed by band selected from
its own members. 1t seems to me
that, although the field for competi.
tion is small here, we could rouse a
much greater enthusiasm than exists
even at present in the breasts of the
different companies, and that not
only company competition might be
INDUCED in, but alsoindividual COM
petition in the different branches,
and that for some events more teams
than one might be selected from
each company. What do our Fire
Laddies and the public say to it?

-. LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

There was on exhibition at the
recent California State Fair range
heated with what has been called the
Perfection Fuel. II is COM
bination Of crude petroleum and
water, the invention of Mr. John -.
Bodwell, of San Francisco, and q
company had been organized to
manufacture it. The amount Of the
fuel TO equal ton of coal can be
produced for less than S1.50, fire
can be started with it by turning a
faucet and applying match, and its
combustion results in no odor, smoke
or residue.
An effort to suppress liquor-sell-
ing in Iowa by the new prohibitory
law is met, on the part Of the dealers,
with violence. Serious riots have
occurred in Iowa City, and at Bur-
lington an attempt was unsuccess-
fully made to blow up the house of
prosecuting attorney with a dyna-
mite machine.
Hereafter a "cold wave flag" is
to be hoisted on the post Office
buildings throughout the United
States, to signal for the benefit of
farmers and others the approach of
cold waves.
General Grant does not condes-
cend to answer the offer of candidacy
for President rendered by the Ameri-
can Political Alliance. He says he
is a Republican, and has no interest
in the Alliance or its action. The
organization, it will be remembered,
was formed to oppose any but born
Americans from holding Office in the
country.

is very pretty air, and touching,
but he objects to it because it seems
to be the only melody that anybody

Now comes the most laughablc part
of his article, when he says that

turned upside down. with some
alterations This is rich. to think
that we have been listening all these
years to friend Berger's most appro-
pirate music. and that it has been
played in many other countries, yet
left to this amateur critic at this late
hour to inform us of such astound-
ing news. II shocks our feelings.
and the only remedy is to have a
brand new national anthem written
at once. The article winds up by
saying, ''if the steamers have to be
fitted out with musical send-offs, at
least, they should not be requiems. "
Certainly not, and such has never
been the case. Trot out your
dictionary, Mr.. Critic, and look for
the meaning of the word requiem.
1t certainly is the first time we have
ever heard of steamers having to be
fitted ont with musical send-offs.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The 1dccjfiSer anticipates dry
ing up Of the sources of Portuguese
immigration, and suggests trial of
Italians. who have for some time
been largely employed rs navvies,
freight handlers, etc. in the United
States and Canada. We have read
of the Italian children in New York
giving great promise of growing up
good and intelligent citizens by
their quickness to learn and tracta-
biity in the schools. At present,
however, we should Judge that
Italian labor would be open to the
same objection here as Portuguese
--cNpcnsiveness. The Italian is no
less prolific than any of the
Latin races, and, as has been
stated in the Legislature and
remarked to us by Il leading
planters agent last evening, what is
wanted at this juncturc is not popu-
latiOn but cheap labor. This neces-
sity of the hour the country anxious
'ly looks to the japanese immigration.
provided for, to meet. At the same
time we believe it would be for the
lasting benefit of the Kingdom if the
two objects of repopulation and labor
supply could be made identical.
They could only be by the Govern
ment having enough territory at
disposal TO offer to the various
thrifty aud civilized races of the world
independent homesteads. Then the
immigrant of any such race could
give his labor to the planters while
he earned enough to pay the small
price asked for homestead. Then,
when the inducement to such immi-
grafton was exhausted, there would
be backbone of civilized yeomanry
to the nation, the chances would be
removed for Mongolian possession
of the land, and the coolies would
only come to the extent of the
demand on the plantations. In the
meantime every means should be
employed to induce the Hawaiian
race to occupy and develop its native
soil, so as to maintain its rightfully
prominent position in the Kingdom.

Mr.. ALIENS RESIGNATION.

Business circles were pcrturbcd
this morning by the rumor current
yesterday evening, that the Hon.
W. +. Allen had been removed from
the Office Of Collector-Gcncral of
the Kingdom. being confirmed in
part by the official notice of his
resignation. All sorts of rumors
are atloat us to the occasion Of Mr..
Aliens retirement from the Office
that he has adorned for over twenty
years with eminent integrity and
ability. The explanation that seems
to have most evidence at back is
that Mr.. Allen gave mortal offence
to the Cabinet by his independent
discharge of duty in an instance
where an evasion of duty would
have saved Il degree of humiliation
to one of the prominent legisla-
tive supporters OF the Cabinet.
There is no question, at any rate,
that Mr.. Allen was forced to resign,
and the feeling Of Indignation among
business men is all but, if not alto.
gether universal that such true and
tried veteran. at the head of the
most important branch Of the civil
service should be so Summarilv dis
missed. This action adds another
count to the long bill of indictment
against the present Ministry, and one,
too, of so serious nature that it is
too long to wait for the regular day
of account to pour out the yials of
popular wrath upon the men who
have thus subordimatcd the leading
public interests to their political
spite. Already we understand that
many business men have waited
upon the Government with indg-
nant protests against the removal of
Mr.. Allen, but Il more united and
open expression of opinion is in
order. Mr.. Aliens successor is not
announced, and never will be if the
Government waits to find his equal
among the ranks of its supporters.

THE GAME ACT.

EDITOR BULLETIN AS an up
holder OF the equal rights of every
citizen, | would like to ask your
opinion on the Act passed at the late
session of the Legislature to define
the ownership of wild fowl. 1t
seems to me that it is simply the
thin end of the wedge, inserted to
facilitate the introduction Of classes,
which in countries of older civiliza-
tiou have proved endless sources of
dissension, feud and revolution.
This law is simply, in my opinion,
the precursor Of game laws similar
to those which. in Great Britain and
Ireland, have proved such fruitful
sources of oppression to the tenant
farmer, the laborcr, and the poor in
general. Other countries in Europe,
too, have suffered from similar
causes. Why introduce such laws

A correspondent is very much
exercised over the game law passed
ut the recent session. If il is. as he
seems to think, simply n piece of
class legislation, the warning note is
sounded none too soon, and the
country should have no more of
such creation Of class privilege.
Game laws arc not, however, essen
tally evil, but often necessary to
prevent the determination of useful
animals. IL it were not for such
laws the deer, partridge and salmon,
for instance, would long since have
been extinct in many parts of North
America where they, contrariwise,
have been preserved as remnant to
perpctuatc each their valuable spe-
cics. When we have the Session
Laws before us, however, we shall
keep this subject in mind and ex-
plain the provisions of the Act in
question.

SATURDAY, JUNE IA, 1884.


Mr.. Tilden has certainly written a
letter to the chairman of the New
York State Democratic Com mittee,
in which he positively declines the
nomination of the democratic party
for the preside cy. He gives. as his
reason that declining health will not
permit him to undergo the labor OF
the next five years in carrying out
the necessary reforms of the national
government. He would no doubt
have received the almost unanimous
nomination Of his party, and he would
almost as certainly have been elected
His declination consequently amounts
almost to Il refusal to accept the pres
idency. This will necessitate the
party to look elsewhere for a candi~
didate. The Exchange has not far
to look, but willsfenominate its choice
of eight years ago-Thos. f. Bayard,
Of Delaware, one of the ablest, purest
and most deserving statesman in
America. We believe he can carry
the doubtful states of the east, and he
certainly has warm place in the af-
fections of the party III the south and
west. There are no dark spots on
his record to explain away, and he
has had long and conservative ex-
perience in the United States Senate,
50 that he is familiar with the details
of government.

Ex-Speaker Randall said, the other
day, that he had positive knowledge
of the fact that Mr.. 1'ilden would ac-
cept the nomination of the July con.
vention, and he added that be had no
doubt that he would be nominated.
This is regarded as much better au~
thority than Congressman Dorsheim-
er of New York, who has reported
that at his instance MIR. Dana called
on MIR. Tilden and learned that he
had fully made up his mind to decline
to be candidate. The value of Mr..
Randall's opinion in this matter lies
in his known close relations with Mr..
Tilden, and his statement was without
qualification, to several members of
congress. Mr.. Dana also says that
Mr.. Dorsheimer's statement is untrue.
We feel convinced that Tilden will
accept the nomination.
