READING il now agitating the question of
doing away with their volunteer fire depart
ment, substituting therefor the paid system
A committee of councils recently gathered
together statistics OF the organization, cost,
etc, of the paid system in other cities. 1t re-
veals the fact that while Reading has had
good volunteer system, it is practically alone
among the cities of its size in the United
States that adheres to the old regime. So far
as Lancaster is concerned, it will never re-
gret the day it adopted the paid call system.
1t has resulted in breaking up the gangs Of
young men who lounged about hose houses
In drunken condition, and became incen-
diaries for the fun Of the thing, and it has
saved the city already more than its cost in
the speed with which the companies reach
the fire and the intelligence with which it is
fought Altoona wishes fire alarm as an
aid to its volunteer system, but it would be
better for the Mountain City to go the
whole length of the string in paid de-
partment To both our sister cities, however,
we venture the note of warning to keep the
fire department question out of politics.
Better not be at all than be political ma
chine oiled and run by the municipal bosses

LANCASTER. APRIL !, 1885.
Not a Good Smith.

Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, does not
seem TO enjoy the perfect confidence of his
fellow citizens, even of his political party.
heBullitt's bill seems to have as the main
ground Of opposition to it the fact that the
appointments under it may be made by
Mayor Smith, and its opponents seem will
ing to accept the bill if only its operation
Is postponed until the election of new
mayor. They say the people should have
q chance to select the man who is to exer-
ctse the important powers given to the
mayor Of the city who starts the operation
of the new measure.
OF course this is all CANNON. If these
objectors had mayor in power in whom
they had confidence they would not say
word About the need that the people should
have chance to elect some other man.
Manifestly Mr.. Smith does not enjoy the
confidence Of these people, who are of
many stripes and shades. The Press lies
down with the Times, for instance, in OBJ
iecting to Smith as the maj, to fire off the
Bullitt bill.
We do not profess to know great deal
about this particular Smith, but under the
light shed around about him he does not
appear to be faultless Smith. Colonel
Mcclure, of the Times, seems to think him
q very bad Smith, and has been cruel
enough to print a statement that he and
his police were paid for permitting the
slugging match between Sullivan and
McCaffrey which the district after
4 v,ax, os,J <bo oo,,,.f Aid v,oN1S
Mayor SWlthlHo IS charge in very
peculiar way !He assembled half dozen
reputable citizens, and held council with
them as to what he should do about it, pro.
testing his innocence. They advised him
to call upon Col. Mcclure to prove what
he said and Smith called.
The proper thing for the Mayor of Phila.
delphia to do when thus assailed was
clearly to call the assailant out to prove ol
eat his words. But the peculiar thing was
: to call q council of citizens TO start him or
! this course.
Col. Mcclure has come up to the scratch
and in no way seems to think that he has
been unjust to Mayor Smith. His position
is that as gamblers run Philadelphia and
control its police force, Mayor Smith, ,as its
head, is hand and glove with them, as he
cannot possibly be SO stupid as not to know
that they flourish under his friendly police
A boss gambler, named Brotherton, i:
billed as the actual mayor of the town
And Mayor Smith says he never meet.
him. The deduction is that Mr.. Brother
ton does not even consult the nomna
mayor.
All Of which teaches that when Phila
delphia had good mayor in King it should
have kept him.

PennsylYania,s Prizes.

In footing up the appointments made
thus far by the president it is seen that the
Democracy of Pennsylvania have hardly
had their innings as yet. With the second
largest and most important organization in
the country the appointments at large thus
Tar made from this state are, we believe,
those Of Mr.. Hay to be first assistant post
master general, Mr.. Gross to be consul to
Athens, and ex-Judge and General John
8. McCalmont, of Franklin, to be CON-
missioner of customs. AS the latter
halls from Mr.. William L. Scott's
congressional district, the selection will
naturally be ascribed to his recommen-
dation and influence. 1t remains to be
sean whether it will be satisfactory to his
constituency, and to his party at large.
Judge McCalmont comes from family of
good political antecedents, and with dis
tingnished military and civic record.
Against his integrity there will be no
breath Of accusation, and having served
with ability on the bench, his qualifications
for the position will not likely be gainsaid.
He Is well advanced in years, has not been
very active in politics of late, and we be-
lieved he jumped the track and deserted
his party In both the Grant campaigns.
Mr.. Gross, it is understood, is disap.
pointed In his office. There was formerly
onlya consul general to Athens, and it
was considerable of place. Now that the
law provides a minister to Greece, the
consul to Athens, with a salary of 81 500
per year, Is parsonage of secondary i'm
portanco and it is doubtful if Mr.. Gross
win accept the place. 1t is not unreason.
able, however, to anticipate that he may
- appointed to the higher post.
Mr. Hay has not yet been SO fully re.
stored TO health as to be able to assume the
discharge Of his duties and the work of
the department. and the interests of the ad.
minigtSation are, of course, suffering in
6QnDsquence. Not only his many friends,
wh6 know his pre-eminent fitness for the
place, but all the good people who wish
wen for the administration and who SYM
pathise with its purposes, earnestly hope
for NJ. Hays early and complete restora-
tion % health md>yigor.

A Great Religious Work.

In his last report dated May 26 1886, Mr..
George Muller, 80 we'll known in connection
with the work Of the Orphanage at Bristol,
England, gives the following summary :

THERE should be earnest sympathy with
the project of the commissioners of New
York state for the rescung of the scenery Of
Niagara Falls from destruction. 1t is as
plain as a pikestaG that while this grand
spot remains private property 1t will be sac
rificed to the sordid demands of greed, and
the tourist will be forced to pay double and
triple tribute in the investigation of its
wondrous beauty. All this is wrong. 1t
should be state property, under state surveil-
lance that would see to it that its grandeur
was free to the humblest citizen and that its
manifold attractions remained unimpaired.
Governor (now president Cleveland ap-
pointed commissioners TO take this matter in
hand in the spring Of 1883. They have
selected about one hundred and eighteen
acres of land contiguous TO the Falls, COM
prising Goat Island and all tie other Stands
in the river, with a narrow strip of land on
| the " American Shore" running from tho
upper suspension bridge to Port Day, and in
| cluding Prospect park. The various sepa-
| rate portions constituting this tract have
been appraised, and the supreme court has
confirmed the appraisement, which fixes the
value of the lands in question at 81 433, ,429. so
| The commissioners recommend the appro
| priaton If this sum by the Legislature fol
| the purchase Of these lands, and the estab
| lishment of state reservation, as the only
means of preserving the scenery Of Niagara
| If the commissioners have done their work
well, the legislature should promptly vote
this sum for the above purpose. At the same
time Canada should act in similar manner
with the understanding that access to the
beauties on either side Of the river would bt
equally open to Canadians and Americans

In Illinois.

The Illinois legislature is still dead
locked. The bulk Of the Republicans stand
steadfast for Logan; and the Democrats
for Morrison. A good many members Of
that body are suspected of being in waiting
for higher bidders; few weeks ago their
price was named in dollars; now it is quoted
in federal patronage. Such a calcium light
has been thrown on these conditions that
If an election should be procured now by
bribery the fact would be exposed and the
beneficiary of it could hardly afford to take
the profit.
Mr.. Morrison, in whose honesty the
country has great confidence, and who has
neither the means nor disposition to be q
bidder at a senatorial auction, will never
be elected, we take it, by corrupt devices
1t has become pretty apparent, however
thatneither will he ever be chosen in any
way and it is worth the while of hi,
friends to consider whether some othel
Democratic candidate could not be profita
bly, substituted for him. His election Il
the Senate, if feasible, would give salts
faction to his party at large; those mem
bers of the House who disagree with hi
tariff notions would no doubt be pleaset
to see him translated but if he can't win
let his party in Illinois try some man VIII
can.

HOPE OF RESURRECTION.

And streams forget to flow,
The earth puts on the form Of death,
And sleeps beneath the snow.
But living germs within her breast
Retain their vital power,
And while the death OF winter reigns.
Wait their appointed hour.
They wait the glorious sun to rise,
And break the icy chain;
Then burst the prison OF their tomb,
And bloom DER all the plain.
So slumbering saints rest in the grave.
And wait the midnight cry,
To put immortal glories on,
And meet their Lord on high.

Here's n Snake Story.

Braxton county, w. Va, can down
the State on snake wonders. A gentle
man living not far from the county
seat lately succeeded in capturing
snake or pair of snakes corresponding
to the Siamese twins. The reptile has
two heads and two tails, and the bal
auce of the body looks like that of
single snake. with the exception OF a
slight depression both above and below,
extending the entire length. The bod
les Join about six inches from the heads;
the tails are almost a foot long after
leaving the body while the length Of
the portion joined is two feet and nine
inches. The twins were first seen two
weeks ago by little son of the gentle
man who possesses the wonder, who
told his father what he had seen and
showed him the track crossing the
road. The gentleman made thorough
search at the time, but failed to capture
RIO pIize. He, however, ran across it
few days since and succeeded in noos-
ing and taking it captive. Both the
snakes are jet black with yellow ring
just behind the head. They both eat
and in travelling seem to be wholly OF
the same direction, etc., stopping at
precisely the same time, and appearing
to have one mind about everything.
