The annual election for chief and as
sistant thief Of the fire department will
occur this afternoon. Whoever may
be the departments choice for chief it
Is to be hoped that the mantle will fall
upon someone who will give to the du-
ties of the position the faithful and eff
cient attention which its importance
merits and which the taxpayers have a
right to expect. 1t il doubtful if there
is another town on the Pacific coast no
larger than Fairhaven, in point of pop
ulation, in which the expense of fire
protection is half as great as il is here
The people pay cheerfully so long as
they feel satisfied that they are getting
full value received for their money.
When they have doubts on that score
il Is but natural that some disposition
to demur should manifest itself. That
IL the case now. A great many citi-
zens feel that considerably too much
money is being "blown in" for the SER
vice rendered. The management of
the department is criticised. 1t is al
legged that the apparatus which the city
has so literally provided, is,
OF at least has been, badly
cared for, and that the city has been
called upon to pay numerous bills for
repairs, extra bills for cleaning hose,
watching fires, etc, which need not
have been incurred had the salarled
officers of the department been a little
more watchful Of the city's interests.
The position of chief aud fire warden
should be something more than
sinecure. The members Of
the department have had ample
opportunity, to judge the present
chief and 1t Is reasonable to

Dangling Bachelors.

The lot Of the wealthy, not yet old,
bachelor who hangs upon the edge of
fashionable society has hitherto been
regarded as a most envisble one. With
no wife of his own to require his atten-
ton or to become jealous, the fashiona-
70 bachelor has been quite free to be-
stow his attentions on other mems wives,
roaming from flower to flower in the
welded garden like the gay butterfly
he is. No marriage for him, when he
could flirt to his hearts content with
ladies who were married to other men.
If he bestowed such devoted attention
ON single women. Immediately there
would begin to be expectations raised
and he would be looked to to explain in
a serious manner what he meant by
hanging around fair one.
But in the case of the married woman
it was perfectly safe. II the husband
did not object. or, better yet, did not
know Of his dangling about the wife.
the society bachelor was in clover.
There was zest to this pursuit that did
not exist in the case of young girls. If
the lady was talked about in an un-
pleasant way, what natter That did
not interfere with his pleasure. Now.

paradise had been entered by the man
with a pistol and all his Joys have been

The serious mining trouble in the
Occur d. Alenes is but one of the logi-
cal consequences of the pernicious sys-
tenn of trades-unionism, which is fast
sapping the life blood of business in
terests, particularly on the Pacific slope.
where wages for all classes of skilled
labor are out of all reasonable proper
ton to the profits of any legitimate
business. There must come change
before there can be any great improve
ment in the business situation. EN-
ployers in every branch of trade and
manufacture not only have to contend
with close competition, but with a spe-
cies of combination that permits no
variation i'm the scales of wages, no
matter how depressing may be the con-
dition of trade. Realizing the great
injustice of such system, having long
suffered from its effects, the employers
of San Francisco have risen in open re-
volt. Like the mine owners of the
Occur d. Alenes they have become
weary of the species of labor domino
ton which makes their interests sec
ondary to the interests Of the men in
their employ. Real labor reform will
never result from the present policy of
labor unions. 1t simply builds up a
sort of an aristocracy of wage earners
in the avenues of skilled employment,
while at the same time working griev-
Gus injury to common labor, which is
even more entitled to protection be-
cause more in need of it. In business
1t is the great middle class who are the
sufferers. The corporations which are
stronger than the unions have nothing
to fear. 1t is the weaker and worthier
who are being crowded to the wall.

We are not likely to hear anything
more from Democratic sources about
the billion-dollar congress, says an
exchange. The reason is that the
present house has appropriated thus
far in its first session over 500, 600, 900
more than the billion-dollar congress
appropriated at its first session; nor
does this include the $26, 900, 900 author

A Mystery Cleared.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The Times states
that the young woman who, according
to the evening papers, was left at the
detention hospital on Wednesday a
'raving maniac" by young man giving
an assumed name, was in reality Miss
Lillian G. Paschal, a reporter for The
Times, who had been sent to the hos
pital to investigate certain charges
against the institution. The treatment
of the helpless inmates, according to her
experience, borders upon brutality, but
the worst feature brought to light was
the amazing stupidity of the physicians
in failing to detect the ruse.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.-Five large two
story buildings on the north side of East
Seventh street collapsed at 1890 a. m.
with terrible crash, and now lie in a
mass of ruins in the hollow below the
Seventh street fill. The row of buildings
was known as the Wagner block, and
were occupied by John Wagener's gro
Gerry and feed store, Joseph Bruile's
saloon and Mrs. William Davis cigar
and candy store. A portion of the second
floor was occupied as living rooms by a
family named Kinderman. The row of
buildings was situated on the edge of a
large embankment, and the supports to
the foundations were never of a very SUBJ
stantial character, land recent heavy rains
had softened the earth to such an extent
that the foundation easily succumbed
Barely Escaped Alive.
Peter Perry, clerk in Wagener's
grocery, was the first to hear the build
ings crack. He gave the warning and
all of the inmates had barely time to
escape with their lives, and none of the
contents of the building were saved.
There was tremendous crash when the
structure gave way, and for time it
was believed that many lives had been
lost, but fortunately all escaped except
little boy, who was playing in the
ravine below the bank. He was buried
beneath the mass and was rescued by
Officer Conroy, sustaining some pretty
severe bruises.
Shortly after noon fire broke out in
the ruins, and the flames quickly spread
to the remaining buildings in the row
1t was entirely destroyed.

THE New York World is raising a
fund to be used in carrying some of
the northwestern states, and has
started out by donating $4,000 from
the pocket of it's wealthy proprietor.
The World raised a fund last spring
to carry Rhode Island with, but it's
calculations were wide of the mark,
for with its heavy STUFFED prophet"
to hold down the boards, the Repub-
lican majority there rose higher than
at any time in three or four years
past. To the Democratic heelers of
the west, who have quadrennially
prayed for slice of the Doodle, but
never had their prayers answered, the
action Of the World will have a most
soothing effect, and their dropping
spirits will rise, as they think of the
time near at hand when they can
moisten their parched lips with other
and stronger spirits, and the long
time between drinks will be material
ly shortened. After the Sth of next
November the World will have less
cash but more experience than at
present, while the only noticeable re-
suit in the northwest will be slight
increase in the circulating medium.
The northwest is still Republican,
and can not be swung over to Democ-
racy by Tammany methods.

REGISTER OF DEEDS.

Prominent among the important
county offices to be voted on at the ap-
preaching election is that of Register
of Deeds. 1t is an office of great mo-
ment to realty owners, and it has been
extremely fortunate in the past in
having comDetent occupants. Mr..
Oscar Bierbauer, who has presided
over It's affairs for several years is an
exceptionally pleasant gentleman to
do business with and thoroughly
competent official. No other name
has been mentioned, and it is every
way probable that he will be nomin-
ated by reclamation, and as usual
elected without opposition.
