Baton Rouge is the proud pnssessor
OF IL fire department ns strong and
effective as that of any city of its size
III the Union. 1t is equipped with the
very latest aud most approved fire
apparatus, an excellent water system,
and will, by the first of December. have
complete fire alarm. In Mr.. A. d.
Williams, it has an intelligent and
efficient chief who devotes great
deal of his time to matters pertaining
to his office and who makes regular and
frequent inspections of the machines
aud apparatus of the companies of the
department, of the condition of fire
plugs scattered throughout the city,
and who has every thing ready at all
times to respond with alacrity at the
first tap of the bell, and yet notwith-
standing all this insurance in this city
keeps steadily increasing and rates are
maintained which would be excessive
in village where the only protection
against fires is an old fashioned hand
engine. With every advance made in
perfecting the fire department and
adding to its efficiency and consequent
ly Iessening the danger of fires, insur-
ance companies make corresponding
advance in rates of insurance. There
fore we ask, why are things thus?-B.

The Presidents Message,

This customary document is before
US. We find it entirely out of keeping
with the Presidents antecedent man
ner of treating such public matters as
come under his exalted sphere.
He knows that as leader of the
Democracy, he has heretofore been
very outspoken and decided in his
views of national questions. Down to
the meeting of the present session OF
Congress he has made suggestions and
recommendations, such as were deem
ed an -eourdnt with the policy of the
party, as laid down in its National
Platform.
In this message he has left Congress
to cut its way through the difficulties
presented by its environments, and has,
in several matters of great Importance,
given no expression of his own views
touching them. Our deliberate opin.
ion is, it is entirely nncharacteristic of
him. He has signally failed to sustain
the reputation he has made for himself,
as bold and ontspoken leader. In
several matters of great moment
matters sacramental to the strength of
the Democratic party, he has left it
without lea der in himself.
