THROUGH THE ROPES,
The Fire Department Did Not Resp
the Sick Lines.

The Fire Department Did Not Respect
the Sick Lines.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Through the columns Of your paper I wish
to call attention to a high-handed outrage
that 1 witnessed yesterday afternoon in
front Of my house, No. 132 c street north
east A few days ago a permit was issued
from the health office to rope OF that por-
ton of street northeast between LIST and
I'd streets, to save life. The life of this sick
lady has been put in great jeopardy by the
act Of the chief of the fire department, who
with heartless indifference. cut the rope and
led the whole fire brigade. with its heavy
engines, hook and ladder companies, down
past the house of the nearly dead sufferer
When asked who cut the rope, the chief
replied, Il cut it," and marched on.
The President OF the United States would
not have been guilty OF such an act The
duty Of chief of the fire department In to
save life and property, and not to destroy
binding on city ofilcials It cannot be ex-
pected that others will regard it.
Sept. Is. 1888. T,
The Chiefs Explanation.
In explanation of his action. Chief Parri.
said that after the parade broke at the
Capitol. six pieces Of the department, four
engines. one truck and a fire wagon, started
away, 1t being his intention to have the
band escort them as far as 9Th and X streets
northwest. The horses were tagged GU,
after having climbed Capitol Hill and he
wanted them to reach home by the nearest
route They started down I'd street with the
intention Of going through to Massachusetts
avenue; but when street was reached he
found that the square in front Of them on
I'd street was barricaded because of i'm
provements that were being made and he
did not want the horses to have to pull
back up the hill. For that reason alone he
said he took down the rope and had the
drivers walk their horses slowly in order to
make as little noise as possible. By doing
this he saved driving four or five blocks.
The vehicles went over the Belgium blocks,
he said, without making much noise. and he
thought that the little noise made by them
could not have been heard by any one In a
house. If I'd street had been open there
would have been no occasion for going
through c street. He also said that when
he saw the street roped OF he dismissed
the band. Nobody in the world has more
sympathy for sick people than 1 have"
said the chief land had thought 1t possible
for the sick person to have heard the pass
ing engines I would have gone all the way
around to get to the houses"

CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM.
Successful Operation of the Laws ReIa.
tive to Office Now in Force.

The continued intelligent execution of the
civil service law and the increasing approval
by the people OF It's operation are most crafty
ing. The recent extension of its limitations and
regulations to the employees at free delivery
post-ofhces which has been honestly and
promptly accomplished by the commission with
the hearty cooperation of the postmaster-gen
eral, is an immensely important advance in the
usefulness of the system. | am if possible more
than ever convinced of the meal cuIable
benefits conferred by the civil-ser vice law,
not only in its effects upon the public service
but also what is even more important-in its eff
feet in elevating the tone of political life gener
ally.
The course Of civil service reform in this
country interestingly illustrates how strong q
hold a movement gains upon people which
has underlying 1t a sentiment Of justice and
right ana which at the same time promises bet
ter administration Of their government The
law emboGying this reform found its way to our
statute book more from tear of the popular sem
tlment existing in its favor than from any love
Tor the reform itself on the part of the legisla-
and fourished in spite of the open
hostility of spoilsmen, and notwithstanding
querulous charges of impractcability by many
selfconstituted guardians, beneath all the va
carries and sublmated theories which are at
tracted to it there undcries this reform sturdy
common-sensc principle not only suited to this
mundane sphere, but whose application our
people are more and more recognizing to be alb
solutely essential to the most successful opera
ton OF their government If not to its perpetuity.
IT seems to me to be entirely inconsistent with
the character Of this reform, as well as with its
best enforcement, to obige the commits
sion 10 rely for clerical assistance upon
clerks detailed from other departments
There ought not to be such IL condition in any
department that clerks hired to do the work
there car be spared to habitually work at an
other place, and it does not accord with senSi-
bic view Of yilseryice reform that persons
should be employed OIL the theory that their la
Dor is necessary in one department when in
point of fact their services are devoted to entire
ly different work in another department.
earnestly urge that the clerks necessary to carry
Oh the work Of the commission be regularly
put upon its roster, and that the system
of obliging the commissioners to rely
upon the services of clerks belonging
to other departments be discontinued.
This ought not to increase the expense to the
government, while it would certainly be more
consistent and add greatly 10 the efficiency of

NOT WHAT IS NEEDED.
Project of Removing the Wisconsin Building
to Milwaukee Abandoned.

Christian Vail, when asked this after
noon with regard to the progress made
toward removing the Wisconsin Worlds
Fair building to this city and placing it
in one of the public parks, said that
after careful investigation of the
matter he had about concluded
that it would hardly be desirable
to remove the structure to Milwaukee
for the reason that its general style
would not be adaptable to the wants Of
readily utilized, but the upper story and
attic would be useless. The cost Of
transportation, Mr.. Vail says, would be
sufficient to erect a structure suitable to
the wants of the board. His project for
the transfer of the fair building was
suggested by a feeling of sentiment.
There is no ready cash on hand at
present, and the entire plans may be
dropped for the winter

the practice which has for long time prevailed
in the pension bureau; but after entering upon
these recent Investigations the commissioner
modified this rule so not to allow until after
complete examination interference WI tn the
payment of pension apparently not altogether
void but which merely mad been fixed at rate
higher than that authorized by law. am unable
to understand why frauds in the pension rolls
should not be exposed and corrected with thor
Oughness and yigor Every name fraudu-
lenuy put upon these rolls is a wicked
imposition upon the kindly sentiment in
which pensions have their origin; every
fraudulent pensioner has become q bad citizen;
every false oath in support of q pension has
made perjury more common, and false and I'M
deserving pensioners rob the people not only of
their money but of the patriotic sentiment which
the survivors of who fought for the pres
ervation of the Union, ought to inspire. Thou
sands of neighbOrhOods have their well known
fraudulent pensioners, and recent Developments
by the bureau establish appalling conspira cies
to accomplish pension frauds. By no means the
least wrong done is to brave and deserving pen
soners, who certainly ought not o be con
demned to such association. Those who at
tempt in the line of duty to rectifv these wrongs
should not be accused Of enmity or Indifference
to the claims Of honest veterans.
The sum expended on account of pensions for
the year ending June 80 1893 was $3.50, 740,

600, 900 will be required to pay pensions during
the year ending January 80 1894
