The unmistakable sentiment OF the
people seems now 10 DO In favor Of q
paid fire department, and In behest TO
Ibis sentiment the City Council would
be fully justiiable in taking the matter
In hand and In passing IN ordinance
creating one at their earliest conven-
ience. 1t is deserved and fitting com.
plimept to the volunteer system to say
that It has been one of the best, 10 thus
satisfy city growing rapidly up
towards $4,000 population 80 long
with SO little being said against It. But
good and efficient us it has been, and
probably might be for the future, there
Is no knowing how long 1t might con
tinue 60. The lives and the property
of the citizens of Winnie on in cases
Of fire are entirely at the mercy OF the
firemen. The city really has nothing
10 do with them. Ii u company should
resolve not 10 attend + fire, a very I'M
probable superstition, there is no power
that can make them attend. The
companies own their buildings, en-.
gines. horses, everything. These are
their individual property and they can
sell them whenever they please, put
the money in their pockets and go out
Of service. The city of Wilmington,
that has to be protected through its
agent, the City Council has no claim
upon them. This OF course is an ex-
IRENE view OF the case, but it is a cor
rect one.
Tho City Courcil makes It's annual
appropriation Of $50, 600 more or less
every year TO help the fircmen along.
This appropriation gives 1t no control
over the department, except TO see that
the companies ore in good working
condition. The firemen elect their
own officers except when they fail to
agree, and even then Council Is left to
the narrow choice of candidate from
one or the other of those whom the
firemeu failed to elect. The office OF
the City Council is TO confirm, not to
elect and direct, except when flremen
tail 10 agree. Such dilemma con
fronts Council nov, and even now it
is deprived Of the privilege usually
accorded by a disagreement among the
firemen. In saying this not word
has been or can be said against the
Hitherto efficiency of the fire depart
ment, and the tcrbearance Of the mem
bers under the present trying circum
Stances is highly commendahle, but
who knows how long this will lastf
II may be bat the beginning of q
bitter ieud, ending no one knows
where, and for which the ciiizeas may
have TO suffer in an insecure pio,ec-
tion of property.
The greatest objection to paid fire
department is that it would be very
expensive, costing much more thar
the prtsant volunteer system, an,
would increase the taxes. We ar
not 30 sure about this, and there ma,
be some ground Tor such an argument
but even il ii does cost little more
is but reasonable that those VIII,
work for the city should be reaaonabl,
compensated and then the city woult
be under 40 obligations to voluntee
labor.

A STRONG irctional fight seems to be
brewing in the late lamented Congress
man Randall's district in Philadelphia
as to who shall receive the Democratic
nomination to sit in Rsndall's seat,
yes, sit. for that is oil that can be done,
the Democrats having no man that can
fill it. Two candidates thus far are
prominent. State Senator McAleer,
whose position on the tariff is some
what uncertain, is the candidate OF the
real Randall protection element, and
James NJ. Beck is the candidate OF the
Cleveland free traders. Under the
free-trsde spur and whip II looks as II
Beck would be nominated, bat this
would not insure his election as easily
as Randall always carried the district
The district seems TO have been mad,
expressly for Randall and Randall 10
the district. Nothing proves this NOR,
clearly than the vote cast for Presiden

! NEW BUSINESS METHOD,

S. H. Baynard has adopted new plan that is now
prevailing in western cities, whereby the opportunity
is given to procure good watch for very low price,
through the agency OF cooperative clubs. The plan
follows: Clubs are composed of forty members who
pay dollar for membership lee which payment
goes to the originator Of the plan When the club is
formed they mutually agree to purchase forty watches
for the sum Of seven hundred and sxty-fve dollars
Each week thereafter the members meet and
each pays dollar. at which time a mum
Der is drawn, which entities the owner Of
such number to select and receive his watch
similar to the old plan of watch clubs, with the cx-
ccpton that upon the drawing OF number further pay
ments OF that number cease . The remaining members
Qess one each week continue their payments and
drawings for thirty weeks, when all payments cease
and the remaining ten members receive their watches
The watches SO distributed are gold-flled case,
made by James Boss with either an Elgin Waltlam
Springfield or Hampden movement, such as are sold
all our city for thrtyfve dollars and which are
fully warranted to give satisfaction. Clubs
forming and drawings will commence Tuesday even

more than three times the space used in

Originally it was believed 80 acres
were needed between jackson street
and Park row, but according to the re-
port of Director Hutchinson, chairman
of the special committee on that sub
ject, 20 acres are needed instead of 80.
This contemplates the filing in of a

width at an approximate cost of $780,

THE TRANSPORTATION QUESTION.
The site having been definitely set
led upon, the next question arising is
the transportation of visitors between
the city and Jackson Park.
Jackson Park is located on the lake
shore between Fifty-sixth street on the
north and Sixty-seventh street on the
south. No other site in the city can
compare with it in the ease with which
it can be reached. The Cottage Grove
avenue cable line runs to the park en-
