Fire Escape Criminality

Mr.. Alderman Family Rum Norton
has repeatedly shown himself unfit
for any public office; but never more
so than in his idiotic remarks to a
NEWS reporter last evening on the
matter of fire escapes. He finds it I'M
just that tenement house owners
should be compelled to put up fire
escapes. while wealthy" house
owners are not required to do so.
Could anything be more grotesquely
foolish?
Putting aside the question of util-
ity-the fact that fire escapes are
necessary to the safety of the people
in lofty and crowded tenement houses
while they are not required on two
and three story houses containing not
over five or six residents-the pitch
forking of the ''rich and poor non
sense into the controversy is both alb
surd and wicked. 1t is absurd be-
cause the owners of tenement
houses are as a rule compare
lively rich people. and it is wicked
because no matter whose pocket
is affected the lives of the poor people
who live in such houses should be pro-
tected. A man who builds a house TO r
himself may fairly take chances of
fire, if he has a mind to do so; but a
man who builds a house for a hundred
poor people to live in, should obvious
ly be compelled by law to give them
proper protection.
Then there are the big Office build
ings, several of which in this city are
mere fire boxes; where does the poor
and rich" element come in in respect
to these? Come, Mr.. Family Rum Nor
ton? Is it in the interest of the poor
tenement jewellers, to whom you sell
whiskey and beer, that you protect the
wealthy owners of these atrocious
death traps2 Eth! Mr.. Norton9 How
is that2
1t is fellows like you, MI. Family
Rum Norton, who make our city
what it is. Your ignorance, stupidity
and obstinate disregard of the public
interests are notorious. There are
others like you in the Board of Alder
men, unfortunately. You go out
next spring, thank Heaven.
Long may it be before any
one quite as bad is again elected or
appointed to any place in our NUM-
cipal government. What we want is
good men in office; when we get them
we may get some degree of good gov
eminent.

none of their affair" OF course only
a cynic would say these things-but
then he wouldn't be a cynic If he
didn't say them. Trust a cynic for not
missing his opportunity to say some-
thing unpleasant about any pleasant
event that comes under his notice.
The officiating clergyman may be
thankful for increased perquisites.
Bridegrooms are proverbially reckless
in their happy generosity and in
rural districts, where the annual
donation party is regularly considered
as a part of the pastors salary, an
extra wedding or two at Thanks
giving is not to be sneezed Aft in
deed so solemn and profitable an
event should ever be received with u
nasal ejaculation. Some Camden
ministers, it is said, wax wealthy and
lay up treasures in brown stone fronts
from wedding fees aloLe.
Then there are the guests who must
unquestionably be thankful for any
sort of a break in the social monotony,
and who. in the dearth of festal
events, may even take kindly to a
funeral, so long as it is not incumbent
upon them to furnish the prime
requisite for mortuary honors. The
belle is anxious to exhibit her beauty,
embellished with a new dress Incl
dent to such occasions-and weddings
may be contagious. Those who have
passed this stage may be thankful for
the supper; and those who ave gone
beyond suppers even, may still be
thankful that they are alive. Indeed
there is no limit to the things for
which one may be grateful-given
the disposition.
1t may not be a very good world
that we live in, but it is the best at
our disposal. There are probably
''other worlds than ours" as a noted
scientist has said, but they are incon-
veniently located and a trife mac
cessible; otherwise they might be cut
up into building lots and sold IN the
installment plan-so let us be thank
full that they are inaccessible.
As for that 'better land than this"
that the writer's of sacred songs tell
of, doubtless it exists, but the
rush for tickets is not very great.
However darkly the pessimist may
picture the surroundings, a bad
world is infinitely better than a
terra dncoynitG that has never been
invaded by the foot of an explorer
who could come back to tell of the
wonders he had seen beyond the great
divide; therefore let man take the
world as it m and be thankful.
And if it doesn't come it might be
advisable for him to go after it. If he
is a wise man he will not be anxious
to let even so poor a world as this es-
cape him altogether.
