Our Fire Department.

To the Editor Of the Press:
feel good deal of interest in the discus
sion now going on in town about additions of
machinery to our fire department. The mat
ter OF additional hose seems to be disposed
OIL for the present. There is said to be need
OF an additional engine for Commercial
street. If one more is really needed for the
city with view to Commercial street. it
would not be wise to locate it there.
An engine located on Congress street, or
on any cross street leading from Congress
street, or Middle street, or Federal street, to
Commercial street, could put water upon a
fire In the latter street sooner than an engine
located on that street could do it.
AT any alarm of fire down Congress street
the Bracket street engine would run to the
Prebe House before having steam enough to
work effectively. The engine on Spring. near
State street, would run to the City Hall. and
the engine at OAK street to Franklin street
before having sufficient steam to work we'll.
When running to fire engines will rails e
steam in much less time than they can do IL
while at rest. The rapid motion produces a
strong draft to the furnace. An engine To-
heavy drag up hill If wanted in the city. En-
gines, therefore, should be located on ele-
waited, not on low ground.
Ii hydrants are In sufficient number on
Commercial street merely hose employed
Win them without an engine would in many
cases prove very effective. Water from hy-
drants on Commercial street can be thrown
over any building now standing there. Each
hydrant ought to supply an engine aud one
ilne OF Leading hose at the same time, but
fear we have not one that will do it, because
the pipe from the mains to the hydrants are
not OF sufficient capacity.
Before making any definite arrangement
ABOUT machinery for fighting fires from the
docks, hope the City Council will consider
wei. what measures, upon. the whole, are
wisest and best. A water boat constructed
and used only for fires, will be very costly
affair, and It's maintenance a large annual
expense. Machinery of the best character
could be lifted to two good tugs at much less
cost, not only for construction but in the an
fire boat.
At the late fire on Commercial street two
lines OF hose were rendered useless for some
time because loaded wagon burst them. In
the old department we had an apparatus to
protect the hose. 1t consisted only of two
pieces OF seantling three inches thick and
seven inches wide. The outer edge of each
piece 1.-TWO of them was cut down to one inch
that the wheels might mount them easily.
They were laid one each SIDE the hose and
held together by an iron clamp at each end,
which could be adjusted In two or three
seconds. These could be always taken to
fires by the wagons which supply coal to the
engines.
1t Is often convenient If not necessary
for loaded teams to pass along streets across
which lines of hose are laid The apparatus
we employed la the old department afforded
every facility to teams engaged in saving
goods or other necessary work.

The Hartford Courant has been looking
up the records of some Of the Democrats who
have been denouncing Speaker Reeds ruling
on the quorum question as unconstitutional
and outrageous. 1t appears that in 1879 Mr..
blackburn, now Senator from Kentucky,
tnen representing congressional district of
mat state, and who has been denoupcipg
MI heed's action as unconstitutional. off
ered an amendment TO the rules which or
defed the Speaker, whenever those voting nm
a pending question and those present and
declining shall together make majority NJ

ported by parliamentary law from the older
C untries and also by practice both In Fog
lind and America and that always and everv-
where the power has been recognized and
vested in the Speaker or presiding officer to
make an actual count of the members pres
emf. The Hon. William M. Springer, he who
p aDced in front of the Speakers desk last
week denouncing Mr.. Reeds rulings as ty-
annical and corrupt, is in the same boat with
his brother Democrat from Kentucky. Here
is what he had to say on the subject In 1879:

The objections to locating a steam fire en-
CINE on Commercial street are forcbly stated
by "old fireman" iu communication pub
llshed elsewhere. They appear to be con-
elusive. If fire happens anywhere except
along the water front this engine must be
dragged up steep hill, with the inevitable
consequence of arriving late at the scene of
action, while If the fire happens Cd Com
mercial street the engine must race up and
down to create the draft needed to get up
steam. We venture to say that an engine To-
Gated on the corner Of Oak street can be in
condition to do effective service at a fire on
Central wharf quicker than an engine sta
toned on Commercial street directly oppo-
site the wharf. "0ld fireman's" views on
the freboat question are. too, pretty nearly
correct,

The session of Parliament which began
yesterday will undoubtedly be the most ex-
citing for many years. The Tories still have
majority, but it is majority depressed and
dispirited by recent events, especially by the
outcome Of Parnelps suit against the London
Times, while the minority is full of conf
dence and hope of the future. A fierce as
sault on the governments policy is foreshad.
owed. especially its policy in the admInistra.
tion OF the affairs of Ireland. The plan of
the government, as far as can be Judged nv
the Queens speech, is to offer more empty
concessions to the Irish people with the
hope. not so much CT pacifying that unhappy
island, as Of checking the rising tide of SYM
pathy In England. Another subject which
threatens to give the Tories much uneasi
ness Is the attitude Of the government
towards the Times persecution of Parnell
There has been a very strong popular i'm
preston that the government really connived
at the Thunderer's warfare on the irish
leader, assisting 1t with its influence If not
with its money. A committee of INQUIRY will
be asked to determine the facts. If the COM
mittee is refused the people will be likely to
Interpret 1t as confession; IL
on the other hand it is allowed the danger to
the Tories is that the charge will be proved.
Either born of the dilemma is an exceeding
ly unpleasant one.
