Chaef BaGknan, of Decatur, ILL.,, took
the floor as the delegate from the
Illinois state association and advocated
the international associatiru exerting
Itself to secure the passage OF a. general
act by the legislatures of the various
states, for the protection of fire de-
partments. The gentlanan's remarks
drew out a. rather extended discussion
and resulted in action which may be
of considerable benefit to fiTemen. 1t
was participated in by a number of
chiefs
Chief Baty, of Colorado Springs, who
diveTged from the subject to say he
thought the convention should Take
steps that would bring up topics for
discussion at future conventions, that
would. benefit the chiefs OF the smaller
cities. He thought the discussion had
been confined too much to twenty story
cities, as he termed the larger Ones
and too li1die attention paid to subjects
of interest TO the chiefs from the
smaller ones.
Chief Dickinson, of Cleveland, took
occasion to say that if any chief from
a. smaller city or a state association
would make his or its wants known,
provision would be made for papers
Treating any subject they might de-
information ON.
Chief Humphreys, of PittSbuTg, came
back 10 the subject introduced by Mr..
Barkman. He argued that the varying
conditions in different states made IL
Impossible TO frame a law that would
apply to all, and that in his Judgment
the only thing the International afgo-
ciaItion could do was to adopt a resolu-
ton recommending any law that might
be framed and advocated by state as
socia&fon.
Chief Higgins of Albany, N. Y,
smoke on the same line. He thought
that the best thing TO be done was for
the fire chiefs in each to organize
state association and meet at the cap
ital at the same time as the leglsla-
ture prepare the bills they might wish
passed, having first secured the en-
dorsement of the International assoc
ciation for the measure or measures,
and then do all possible to secure its
passage. At the close Of his remarks
MIR. Higgins introduced a. resolution,
which was adopted, requesting the
fire chiefs in all the states to organize
state associations before the next in
ternational convention, and send dele

HONOR THE DEAD.

Ex-Chief Taylor of Richmond, Va,
addressed the convention feelingly on
the subject of dead members. He
thought too little respect was paid to
their memory by the secretary simply
reading the names, and he introduced
a resolution directing that the execu-
tive committee in future fix a regular
day and hour at which the roll call
of dead members be read, allowing
any member so desiring time to pay
a tribute to their memory. The reso-
luton was unanimously adopted.
INVITATION FROM DENVER.
A communication from the board of
fire and police commissioners of Den
YER was read, inviting the members to
stop over there ON Monday next on
their return east, and attend the an
nuaI review and parade OF the fire
and police departments, which take
place on that day. The invitation was
accepted and the convention adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning.

Honest differences of opinion have al ways existed and ever will exist as to the legislation best calculated to promote the public veal but when it is seriously as serted that this nation must bow to the dictation of other nations, and accept the policies which they insist on, the right of selfgovenment is assailed, and until that question is settled all other questions are Insignificant.
 Citizens of New York. 1 have travelled from the center of the continent to the sea board that 1 might in the very beginning of the campaign bring you greetings from the people of the west and south and as sure you that their desire is not to destroy, but to build up. They invite you to accept the principles of living faith rather than listen to those who preach the gospel of de- spair, and advise the endurance Of the ills you have. Advocates of free coinage be- leve that in striving to secure the immedi- ate restoration of bimetallism they are la boring in your behalf as well as in their own. A few of your people may prosper under present conditions, but the perma- nent welfare of New York rests upon tho commerce of tho nation and must suffer if that commerceis impaired You cannot sell unless the people have money with which to buy and they cannot obtain the money with which to buy unless they are able to sell their products at remunerative prices Production of wealth goes before the ex- IAaAibG OL WCd4OA4 UhOoC WhO N1rSttS AAa l4ok secure profit before they have anything to share with others. You cannot afford to join the money changers in supporting a financial policy which, by destroying tho purchasing power of the products of toll, must in the end discourage the creation of wealth.
 I ask, expect, your cooperation It is true that a few of your finaoiers would fashion new f1gure-representt Colum- bia, her hands bound fast with letters of gold and her face turued toward the east appealing for assistance to those who live beyond the sea-but this figure can never express our idea of this nation You would rather turn for inspiration to the heroic statue which guards the entrance to your city, statue as patriotic in concep- tion as it is colossal in proportions it was the gracious gift of sister republic and stands upon pedestal which was built by the American people. That hgure-Lib- erty Enlightening the World-is emblem atic of the mission of our nation among the nations of the earth. With government which derives it's powers from the eonseflt of the governed, secures to all the people the freedom of conscience. freedom of thought and freedom of speech guarantees equal rights to all ana promises special privileges to none, the United States should be an example in all that is good and the leading spirit in every movement which has for it's object tho uplifting of the human race.

the United States notes, commonly called 9reenbacks and the treasury notes, issued under the act of 1890, are responsible for the recent drain upon the gold reserve, but this assumption is entirely without foundation
 fHere Mir. Bryan referred to Secretary CarIisles testimony before the senate bond Investigating committee in which he said he redeemed all the paper presented in gold because his predecessors set the ex- ample and he was afraid to do otherwise for the welfare of the goyernment.l
 do not agree with the secretary that IL was wise to follow q bad precedent but from his answer it will be seen that the fanlt does not lie with the gfeenbacks and treasury notes. but rather with the exec utiye officers who have seen it to SurreL- der I right which should have been exer- cised for the protection of the interests or the people This executive action has al ready bee:i made the excuse for the issue of more than S250 000. .000 in bonds, and It is impossible to estimate the amount or bonds which may hereafter be issued If this policy is continued.
 We are told that an attempt on the part of the govern ment at any time to redeem it's obligations in silver woald put a pre- mium ou gold. but why should 1t?
 The bank e France exercises the r1ght 10 10 redeem all bank paper in either gold or silver. and vet France maintains the par. ifv befween gold aad silver at the ratio of k t.o to and retains i'll circulation mol . Silver per capita than we do ill the United states.
 1t has been further answered that our opponents have suggested no feasible plan for avoiding the dangers which they fear; The retirement of the greenbacks ami treasury notes would not protect the treas ury. because the same policy which now leads the secretary of the treasury to rs- deem all government paper in gold whe l cold is demanded will require the redemD- fion of all silver dollars and silver eertiii- eatet in gold if the greenbacks and treas- urv nues are withdrawn from eifcuia- aiara than this. fl the government should retire it's paDer and throw upon

The Headquarters of the Democratic
silver Committee to Be Removed.
The removal of the headquarters Of the
democratic silver committee from here to
Chicago has been contemplated for some
time, and the fact has been mentioned
in The Star. The rooms of the commit
tee in this city, at the home of Senator
Harris, No. IL LIST street northeast. will
be closed the last Of this week. and quar-
ters will then be opened in the Sherman
House at Chicago. After the national
convention the committee will no longer
exist, but the work will be taken up by
the national democratic committee, of
which Senator Jones of Arkansas will
probably be chairman.
Number IL seems to have lost its ILL
cmened propensities in the matter of
politics. When the democratic silver
committee was selected last year and quar-
tiers taken at Senator Harris home there
was good deal of sport in the newspapers
over the NO 49, The object Of the
Committee was to win in the national dem
ocIatic convention, and it appears to have
had considerable success in bringing about
the condition of affairs existing in the
party.
