BRAVE AND GOOD WORK.

Buckets were rapidly collected and lad
ders secured, and systematic effort made
to protect the buildings in the fires circle.
Men soon lined the roof-tops. and hun
dreds Of willing hands passed the water
buckets along the different lines. Never
was there more directed and effective
work done. Fortunately. everything was
saturated by the drenching rain which had
fallen during the evening. and which con-
tinued moderately during the night. The
heat was so intense as to blister several
buildings. But the floods of water that
constantly poured upon them prevented
miracle that half OF the town was not
destroyed.
Brooks 4 Gresham's loss is estimated at
e., 1000, half of which is covered by In
surance in the Virginia Fire and Marine
Company. The buildings destroyed be-
longed jointly to +. @. Wexford and W. A.
Jones, of this place. and were insured for
only 81, 400 in the same company.

URGED by Blaine and Quay, backed

and st. Paul Pioneer Press, the republi-

bill back into limbo Now let Brother
Blaine rally his followers and compel
the senate to kill the Mckinley bill, Of
which the Pioneer Press says:
'We cannot recall in recent political
history any such general revolt against
a measure brought forward in congress,
and supported by all the power and
prestige Of party leaders, as that which
the Mckinley bill has had to encounter.
1t grows in unpopularity from day to
day. Influential newspapers from one
end Of tho west to the other, papers
which are strictly loyal to the party and
devoted to its interests, are outspoken
in their condemnation of this bill. It
stands absolutely without q friend, ex-
cept the little knot of manufacturers
whose interests it consults, and the
numerically inconsiderable body of
those who do not think on economic
subjects at all, but call themselves pro-
tectionists and stand ready to accept
anything that is offered to them under
that name. The session has been pro-
longed unduly. The public is tired of
it. Great national interests have found
themselves imperiled by the pushing
forward Of these bills, and the holding
back of others as a menace. There is q
spirit of discomfort abroad which grows
with every day that is wasted in consid-

WHAT Is MINE?

currence to express the right of the in

of his own private property; and the de-
sire for the exercise of this power is as
prevalent among American citizens to.
day as it ever was or can be across the
Atlantic. But, as Mr.. Morton is careful
to point out in an article in the Sc ptem-
Der issue Of Scribner's Magazine, much
OF the validity of this dictum depends
upon the Interpretation of the word
private. It is true that it has become
standard Of modern civilization that no
citizen shall be subject to deprivation of
life, liberty or property without due
process Of law, but it is equally true
that the law reserves to itself through
it's administrators full right of inter
ference whenever social necessity de-
manded the surrender of individual pos
sessions and preferences for the good of
the common veal or the community. In
other words, the good of the state is of
greater weight than the interests of the
individual and private possession must
not be made q plea for injury to society
and current belief, nor can it be exer-
cised to the injury of ones neighbor.
To take an everyday instance, the pos
session Of q city lot is hedged in by
many limitations which experience has
found to be absolutely necessary for the
protection Of the owner himself and his
fellow citizens. He may sell it or devise
it. but he must do SO in accordance with
the forms prescribed by law; if it we're
not so, roguery would establish SO
many abuses that honest transactions
would come to standstill. The owner
OF such a lot is at full liberty to erect
buildings on it, but the public has
right to demand, and does demand that
they shall not endanger the public
safety. Any business conducted therein
must respect the health, the comfort
and the property of neighbors
One right of the citizen the article is
careful to emphasize. It is the right to
give away his property during his life
time, provided he does not 'injure the
rights of his wife or his creditors, and
divest 1t Of public burdens; his right
when dying, to dispose of it according to
his desire, subject to similar REQUIRE.
