hour of delay on the part of Congress
to meet the issue renders the position
of the American wOrkingman more
insecure.
Tht Chinese question can be set
tied effectively in only one way, and
that is by securing from Canada and
Mexico an agreement that they will
not allow Chinese laborer8 to land
in their ports.
General Butler pointed out years
ago that all the Chinese who came
here, sailed from the British port Of
Hong Kong, and suggested that n
treaty be made with England by
which no more Chinese would be
allowed to embark at Hong Kong
for the United States.
AS British merchants make a great
deal Of money in the coolie trade,
England viii not make such treaty
unless she is shown that her refusal
will be a losing game.
The present Congress can show
her that it is losing game, and cause
her to agree to such treaty by
simply announcing our intention to
abrogate Articles % and 20 of the
treaty Of Washington.
These articles, which are now In
force yield profit to England and
Canada ofover ten millious OF dol
lars every year, as against o profit
to the United States of about one
hundred thousand dollars.
When England is compelled to
face the alternate of either losing
this ten millions of dollars, or shut /.
ting her ports against the Chinese, /
who are now cutting across Canadian /
lots to the United States border,
there can be no doubt as to which .
she will choose.
This Is the only way in which the
Chinese question can he settled
and effectively.

FIRE ALARMS

LAST Thursday morning. about nine
O'Clock, the south chimney on the main
building of the court house was discOv-
cred to be burning Oft. and smoke issu-
ing through the wall on the second floor.
The fire alarm was soon sounded, and
was quickly responded to by both COM
panies. and in a few minutes the roof
was thoroughly soaked and the fire ex-
tinguished. The damage was slight;
but owing to the construction of the
chimney, which has very thin walls. and
the intense heat, it was badly cracked
and warped. by rights the chimney
should undergo thorough repairing as
soon as possible.
Another fire alarm was given in TIE
afternoon, when it was reported that
Fred Brackets house was on fire. The
engine and hose cart started for the
fire. and upon reaching the corner near
Wenzel Il Auehter's, were informed that
it was nothing more than another CHM
ney burning ont and that il had been
eXtinguished without any perceptible
loss. The high wind which prevailed
during the day caused the people much
uneasiness regarding the fires.

RATHER CLOSE.

That was a narrow escape from con-
fagation when the south east chimney
of the Court House burned out Thurs
day. The wind was blowing great
guns and single spark on the roof
would have doomed the building. As
the wind was due east and gfeasing
straight path right through the spacious
editoria', composing and press rooms of
this office, it would not have been worth
powder to blow it up had the Court
House gone. Fortunately providence
recognizes the improvement in chang
ing to an eight page paper and spared
us the aflliction.
The fire in the chimney burned furi-
ously, flames and smoke pouring from
its top in a manner that would have
made old VesuviUs blush. The chin
ney was built on the sieve plan, and the
way the smoke sifted through along its
backbone made the salvation of the
building seem dubious from the start.
While some of the window frames and
roof was blackened with smoke and
schorched from the heat, the fire was
confined within the chimney and finally
extinguished by breaking in few chem
ical balls.
The fire department was promptly on
the scene and finally made connections
with cistern by the Senate saloon, throw
ing stream of water on the Court
House roof Two strong points were
brought out that the department would
do well to profit by. In the first place
it should be informed at all times as to
what cisterns arc serYiceable, few
minutes running to ar empty cistern
would be disastrous where few bar
rels Of water Immediately applied could
drown an incipient blaze. n the
second place the chief OF his
assistant 10 charge during service
should be the only one to give orders,
and he alone should be obeyed. A great
many people have an uncomfortable
desire to issue commands at a fire, but
they are simply nuisance and hinder
ance to a trained department, and if
out side help is needed they should work
under the orders of the Chief

MAcApAMlzEp ROADS.

The new city council have already
made rustic in the direction of improv-
ments and the chances are Lancaster
will soon have macadamiZed streets
around the public square. The roads
demonstrated most forcibly the past
winter hat the bottom had dropped out
of them. and that the council win give
them immediate attention is pleasant
news to everybody.
Mayor Lowry anu Councilman Hyde
have been circulating paper among
the business men that has met with al
most universal approval, and the good
work will be pressed rapidly forward :.
The proposition is that abutting proper
ty-holders pay one-eighth of the expense
the remainder being raised by tax
alton. Its a good scheme and the mer-
chants will be more than recompensod
for the outlay in increased trade.

also contained all his farm machinery
and about four thousand bushels of
grain. The fire bad done its work of
destruction when the result was learned
about 5 o'clock, Friday morning. How
the building was set ON fire is a mystery.
Sparks from the house could not possi-
