FIRE PROTECTION.

The fire at Luverne last week sug-
gests to our own town the Importance
of immediate organization for prOtec-
tion against fire, and the putting into
working order the facilities we have
for that end. A few weeks ago, when
the small building was burned on the
square, our editorial predecessor set
forth tho uselessness Of the wells, cis-
terms, pumps, ETC., which we're intended
to aid in the extinguishment of fires.
Not one, wa believe, was found in good
working order.
Worthington is now too large and
too important town to remain in this
unprotected condition. 1t is no longer
struggling settlement scattered over
a wide territory, with scant popula
tion, but compact town, with build
ings closely related to each other.
Large stocks of goods are in the stores
and a number of buildings are very val
liable. The town is not as poor as it was
in the days of its infancy. There was
an excuse found in the poverty Of the
pioneer period for not securing a fire
engine, and ample facilities for putting
out fires. That reason no longer exists.
The reason of the case is the other
way. We can 10 longer afford the risk
Of other days.
1t would pay to provide a hook and
ladder equipment and a suitable en-.
gine, with adequate water facilities at
points remote from the likes. Insur-
ance rates would doubtless be reduced
were our means for subjugating d, es
more complete.
The expense of cisterns to be filled
from the roofs of churches, the school
house and other large buildings would
not be very great. In seasons of drouth
a suction engine could fill them, when
necessary, from the lakes, with a pro-
vision of hose for the purpose.
Luverne has had fire serious
enough. Her facilities for fighting the
fire were none too perfect, but, as they
were, they were much greater than ours
and they saved great part of the
town from total destruction. Let VI
no longer be guilty of unwarranted
presumption and carelessnass in neg
lecting 50 important matter.
We have a sufficient number of &C
tive, public spirited young men who
would take pride in forming and main
tanning an efficient fire company if tn.
proper facilities were provided fol
them. Doubtless the village council
would take proper action if the men o.
property and business would encourage
its members 80 to do.

TO a felon's punishment and shame. Seven years
ago William Thomas was convicted of murder
and sent to the Illinois penitentiary. The wit

prison confessed himself guilty OF the crime for
which Thomas was punished yet his confession
was not believed. At length, however, Gov.
Oglesby released Thomas because of innocence
OF the offence for which he has suffered for seven
years. The State of Illinois is pretty slow, evil

The Chicago Anarchists. bitterly denounce
the police authorities for suppressing their in
cendiary meetings, and threaten to multiply
secret assemblages to carry out their purposes.
Their organ says to the police: 1.-THE police are
powerless in the face of such organizations.
They might control our open meetings. but in
spite Of their many spies they have not the
slightest idea of what happens at our Sc
cret sessions. We can only win our battle in
that way" It is the abuse OF free speech by
such fellows as these that imperils the freedom
OF debate which this country has always allowed
and protected. When slanderers, incendiaries,
and traitors abuse free speech even generous
government must put a curb on their lips. or be
itself destroyed Secret plotting of incendiaries
and assassins is bad enough, but to allow the
harrangues of their orators to influence assem-
blages of excitable, ignorant and bad principled
men, would be vastly worse. One Haymarket
scene Is enough.

After Mr.. Stewart had finished Mr..
Slade Chas. >. Hatch, Esq,
of Buffalo, N. Y, who spoke briefly. He
said that Buffalo people didn't think very
highly of the President. Erie county
gave him about 5000 majority when he
ran for governor, but in 1884 the majority
was for the Republican candidate for the
presidency and was $500. OF the 5000

voted the Democratic ticket heretofore

majority for Harrison and Morton.
