FIRE MATTERS.

When Mr.. John Mott was in San
Francisco he ordered a new truck
for the Hook and Ladder Co. 1t
will be here by an early steamer.
The new truck will be much lighter,
and hence more suitable for the
needs of this city, than the old one.
Its cost in San Francisco is about
S400, whereas the huge vehicle now
at the Central Station cost $4,000
laid down here. That one, more
over, was built for horses and altered
for man power simply by changing
the drawing gear. The large truck
will, however, be retained for emer-
gencies. At the meeting of the
Board of Representatives of the Fire
Department the other night, Mr..
Mott was appropriately welcomed
back to home and duty. He res
pended to the greetings of his COM
rades by giving an account of visits
he paid to various fire houses in the
United States. At San Francisco,
Omaha, Neb. Kalamazoo, Mich.
Utica, New York and Brooklyn, N,

and exhibitions given for his benefit

HAWAIIAN DIPLOMACY.

Washington advices by last mail
are as follow: An important diplo-
matte move to secure the neutrality
of the islands of the Pacific, so far
as they are not now possessed by
the Continental Powers, is on foot,
which contemplates disregard of
Spain's claims of sovereignty over
any Islands upon which she has not
established colonies. Regarding
this an opportune time, in view of
the apprehensions caused last sum-
mcr by the Carolines affair, the Ha-
waiian authorities have lately
directed the Hawaiian Minister to
propose plan TO the United States,
England, France, Holland, Germany
and Spain, for the settlement of this
question. 1t is that the Sandwich
Islands, which possess great inau-
ence in the other islands, be allowed
to send Commission to unite them
into local representative govern
ments, whose integrity shall be qua
ranteed by the Powers. The con-
tracing Powers would tnen senu
Consuls to the islands to protect
their respective interests. In this
way the islands will be kept forever
open to commerce and neutral in
any wars that may hereafter arise.
| The scheme as outlined has been
| subject to several consultations be.
tween Minister Carter and Secretary
Bayard. The latter heartily in
dorses it. Armed with this indorse-
ment, Minister Carter will sail for
Europe Tomorrow on mission to
the nations mentioned. He has
laid the matter before the Ministers
at Washington of the countries
named, and in every case Their
answers have been favorable.

HAWAIIAN BARK BURNED.

The Hawaiian bark Hope, owned
by Messrs. Levers & Cooke, Homo
lulu, was seriously damaged by fire
at Port Ludlow, Washington Terri
tory, on November 10th. 1t is not
known how the fire originated.
About two O'Clock in the morning
one of the crew asleep in the fore
castle was awakened by the smell
of fire. Upon his going on deck he
discovered smoke issuing from the
fore hatch. The Waterman at a
mill on shore assisted with the steam
whistle in giving an alarm, and
shortly two streams of water were
turned into the hold from the steam
pumps of the mill, Captain Pen
hallow was absent at Seattle on
business, having left the mate in
charge. The latter with the crew
was assisted by the crews of other
vessels and 'longshoremen, but the
efforts of all did not avail to stay
the progress of the fire. AS n last
resort, therefore, after saving every
thing movable from the vessel, in
Guiding stores, cabin furniture and
clothing, the bark was unmoored
from the wharf and scuttled by bor-
ing holes in her how ports. There
being lumber enough in the vesse
to counteract the weight of the bal
last, the vessel only sunk until TIN

water reached the deck. Had she
gone to the bottom, total loss would
have been the result, as the depth
at the spot is forty feet. The tug
Cyrus Walker, with her owner, ar
irving from Port Gamble early in
the forenoon, towed the damaged
vessel on the beach. There was
about 100000 feet of lumber on
board the Hope. A telegram from
the captain, dated Port Ludlow,
Nov. 2lst, to Higgins & Collins,
San Francisco agents, says: "Hope
at wharf badly burned forward fore
mast, deck and frame" Messrs.
Levers Il Cooke have had advices
that a survey was to have been held,
and if the vessel was not damaged
too much she would be repaired

which pushes the English policy of free trade
and pauper wages.
OF course Mr.. Cooper was refereing merely to
the Irish American vote of Pennsylvania. But
the views he submits are of general practical
interest. If the Irish-Americans of the Key
stone State who rallied around Mr.. Blaine came
into the Republican party to stay. so, it
is confidently to be believed, have
large majority Of their brethren throughout
the country. For the fact of the matter is that
the Republican party is the natural political
home of Irish Americans. That party stands
for those things which are most dear to the
typical Irish heart-freedom, justice, equal
rights for rich and poor, fair play all around.
The Democratic party through all its history
has posed as the special champion OF the Irish
man. But its friendship has been sham.
free-trade party is not friend of labor; and
tue enemy Of labor is the enemy OF the Irish
man. a party that was the right arm OF
slavery cannot hate oppression. And party
that does not hate oppression has no right to
expect the support of Irishmen, who drink in
hatred of oppression with their mothers milk.
The Irish American voter is beginning to
understand this. The scales are falling from

successfully claim that they carry the Irish vote
in their brceches pocket. The large portion of
it that was lost to Democracy last year was lost
to it permanently. As Dir. Cooper pnts it, the
Irish American voters have come into tho Re-
publican party to stay because they have come
on principle
These voters will never forget their transfer
of allegiance. In becoming Republicans they
identify themselves with party which has done
more for the prosperity of the country, more
for the advancement of government by the
people, more for the great cause of humanity,
than any other political organization that ever
existed since the foundation of the Union.

WHAT PRESIDENT CLEvELAND CAN DO.

WHAT PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CAN ~
II ia not to be doubted that the Adminlstra-
ton desires the public prosperity and the re
vival of business. All political interests
PROMPT it to promote such a change as far us
possible. Some of the men who have part ID

which has been so severe since the electloh' IL
is easy to believe, therefore, that II the ADMIN
istration could see by what stepsi could hasteh
the revival of business, it would be strongly IN
clined to take those steps.
To cure disease one must first understand
what the disease is. Stagnation and prostra-
ton in this country are due in very large de-
gree to fear of changes by the Democratic party
on its accession to power. A rational course
for the Administration. ifit desires prosperity
is to dispel those fears as far as 1t can. III mas
done so in some particulars and 1t Is pleasaut
to record the fact There is less fear OF foolish
ness about the currency and the public DEBT
than there was. Even the unnecessary and
uuwise appeal to the banks for help was ex-
cused because of its apparent purpose to MAN.

cause it implied unwillingness to use the pow
ers which there Is good reason to know the Al
ministration is perfectly aware that it possesses
and is in duty bound to use if necessary. It's
course has also been praisewOrthy In regard 10
the collection of the tax on whiskey. 1t Will
help the revenue to put stop to the system
attic evasion which had been permitted.
In other respects the course OF the Admins
tration has been partly good and partly Dad.
The President knows and so does every other
reasonable man about him, that q sweeping
change in the Offices would alarm the business
world. Thus the change OfinspectorS OF vessels
here involves a danger to the commercial ana
travelling public. Changes Of revenue officers
involve the danger that the revenue will not be
efficiently collected. The Administration has
done not little to occasion apprehension, but
II has also done enough to prove that 1t Is
aware of the danger and all the time halt
DISPOSED to avoid it. Greater certainty that IL
would act according to its best information and
knowledge would be helpful.
The greatest fear HIS been regarding changes

ers throughout the country, who have invested

IN NEH-JAHsEY AND uAss4-


The results Of the State census in New-Jersoy
and Massachusetts, increase tie regret that the
partisan greed and the mulish stupidity Of the
Governor have deprived the pcople Of New-York Of
olical information regarding the growth of this
State. New-Jersey, with one snail village esti-
mated Mt the population OF 1870, Dow re-
ports 1.276,S25 Inhabitants, an increase
since 1880 of 1919 per cent Massa-
chusetts reports 100000 inlabi-
taDts. increase since 1850 of 94 per cent. While
the reported increase in New-Jersey corresponds
closely with the increase during the preceding de-
cade, the gain in Massachusetts, is much less than
might have been expected. In New-Jersey The in
crease during the ten years 1870-1SS0 inclusive
was 24.S per cent, and in Massachusetts only 1913
per cent. In Ncw-Jersey the ascertaIned increase
during the past five years is little more
than half the increase during the previous ten
years, while in Massachusetts it is considerably
less than half. In New-Jersey, however, the
reported increase during the last decade was coh-
sideraoly less than the increase during either of
the three preceding decennial periods. The gam
in that State during tho decade 1s60-1S70 was
34.S per cent; during the decade 1S50-1s60 1t was
34.2 per cent; and during tho decade
Is40-1S50 it was 31.1 per cent On the other hand,
tho increase in Massachusetts during
the last ten years was moro than during the ten
years preceding. when the ratio was olly 1873 per
cent but from 1850 to 1860 it was 1917 per cent
and from 1910 to 1880 1T was 34S per cent.
Hence the reported increase dufInG the past five
years slightly exceeds the ratio Of gain i'll Massa-
chusetts for the decade embracing the civil war,
but in New-Jersey falls considerably short of the
ratio for thai decade
IL would be most interesting to be able to compare
the results in New-York for the same period,
though past returns do not warrant the belief that
tho increase in this State has been as great as IN
either OF the other two States From 1870 To 1850
it was only 1919 per cent from 1860 to 1870 only
1919 per cent from 1850 to 1860 only 25.2 per
cent and from lS4O to 1890 only 27.5 per cent.
As the ratio of increase IN AewJcrsey is about the
same as during the last decade and IN Massa-
chusctts somewhat less IL is probable that the gain
in New-lOrk during the five years has been little
more than per cent, II so much. In Pennsylvania
the increase during the last decade was also little
less than in either Massachusetts, or Now-Jersey,
namely. Dny 2I.6 per cent in the previous decade
only 2l.l per cent; from 1850 10 1860 only 25.7
per cent and from lsI0 TO 1880 only $40 per cont.
IL seems probable, therefore. that the gain in New
jersey has been. IN previous decades, somewhat
larger than in either OF the other states mentioned
