The WIN Alarm Rell..

Richmond has a model Fire Department
as 10 men, machines aud organization, aud
its work compares favoraby with any of
the fre-febters in the United States.
And. better still. the department is not
standing still but progressing. and is being
supplied with all modern appliances FOR the
sure and speedy extlngushment or the
flames it starts ont 10 subdue.
A contract will be given out for building en-
engine tor Company No. 3. on Broad street.

all banging away at one and the same time.
until one is in doubt where the alarm comes
from.
The Council will be asked for $4,000
appropriation IN October for the purpose Of
increasing the fire alarm circuits and other
improvements. There are now siI circuits
with twenty-eight stations on each one. and
there should be twelve circuits at the least,
for should one of them break even one
wire the whole circuit is useless.
Then there will DO twenty-eight boxes

AUgFFUL CRANK

The New York Sun is one Of the
ablest and most entertaining newspapers
published in the United States. But
all the same it is crank Of the first
order. What is to be thought Of a
newspaper of the Suns prominence and
pretensions that will deliberately support
Ben Butler for the Office Of President Of
the United States? And how foolish in
it to separate from its party and be a
protective tariff journal when all the in
telligcnt people in the world are drop
ping that absurd ISM
Nevertheless the Sun is sound on one
subject. and the good people of the South
are going to be always grateful to it
for the stand it takes in connection with
that It rightly puts the Force bill for
ward as a great issue in this canvass.
in presence of which. as far as the
South is concerned, all other questions
and issues are dwarfed. 1t admits and
charges openly that the Force bin is an
attempt to make the white people Of the
South submit to negro domination, and
maintains that its white brethren Of the
South shall not be subjected to this degra-
dation. May its influence be powerful
so long as it remains the champion Of
right and personal liberty in the country.

The report that the President had or
dered the removal within fifteen days of
the hotels and residences at Old Point
because they had not adopted the system
Of sewerage decided on by the Govern
ment created considerable talk and some
excitement in the city The idea that
the administration would destroy a whole
settlement including one magnificent
hotel and another one in course of con-
struction seemed too preposterous TO be
conceived Of.
There is no doubt that such an order
has been issued, but it is not generally
believed that it Will be carried out. Ii is
thought to have been given more for the
purpose Of compelling obedience to the
sanitary regulations which have been
decided on for the post than anything
else 1t will most likely have its effect
and if it does not then the offending par
ties should be prosecuted and punished
But it does not seem possible that Mr..
Harrison and Secretary Elkins would
destroy one of the most popular resorts
in the country, merely because few
sewers have not been built
