FORMERLY the first thing the prison
did in case of a fire was to sound thr
city alarm and call for the engine.
Now all is changed. The water
works have taken the place of q
dozen engines, and the city fire de-
partment, except in ease of On un.
prccedented contlagration, need not
be called upon at all. Capt. Brad
bury has, within the walls, trained
mcn who handle the hoes like ex-
perts. We witnessed the fire from
the start, and it was a matter of sur
prise how quickly and successfully
it was put out. If the engines had
been the sole dependant there is no
telling what the results might have
been.

the farmers alliance of Texas, ask.
ing why congress did not pass the
sub-treasury bill authorizing the
loaning of government funds to the

that he could not support the bill for
two reasons: First, because such a
measure was unconstitutional, and
secondly, because it vas impractical

THE idea of holding conventions at

until the democratic gimblet hole
politicians got charge of the state.
Republicans never held their conven-

and to now initiate the democrats is
not very o%reditable to the party Of

The New York World has for the
past few days been giving its readers
a very sensational account of the
manner In which Henry Hilton be-
came the owner of the Stewart mil
lions. The story of how the house,
founded by the merchant prince, was
wrecked, his Widows fortune trans
ferred from her name to 1Iilton's,
seems almost incredible. But the

tory of the names in which Henry

The republican party owes to the
country necessary legislation and
they should proceed with the work.
The tariff must be revised in accord
ance with the promises made during
the presidential campaign; a bank

and proper appropriations should be
made for the Improvement of the

becomes evident that cool heads and
honest hearts will be needed to pre-.
vent extensive industrial troubles, us
it is plain that two distinct issues,
less hours and more wages, are being
confused.
The eight.hour question is Of vast

tries and involves the mental, moral
and social culture of the nation.
The most intelligent public senti-
mcnt, including the churches and
colleges, is strongly in favor of the
eight-hour day for moral and econom-
ical reasons that are patent to all,
and the workmen themselves assert
that they are fighting for a great
principle, the success of which will
give employment to nearly 1,000,0 900
now out of work.
I TO a superficial observer il might
appear that with such powerful back
ing al! the workmen have to do is to
ask and they will receive, but the
wage question is looming up as an
obstacle that may cause trouble.
While vast numbers of workmen
are wiling TO accept eight hours pay
for eight hours work, q large per-
centagc of them will demand the
same amount of money for the shorter
workday.
1t is unnecessary to point out the
arguments that these workmcn use in
support of their position. The work.

against q reduction of his wages even
when it is accompanied by q shorter

fellow workmen. But if he strikes
for q reduction of hours from 10 to
8, leaving the wages just where they
are, the strike will be regarded as a
strike for higher wages, and the great
cight-hour principle will retire into
the background.
For these reasons we think that
the less the wage question is mixed
with the eight-hour movement, the
less industrial trouble there will be
