We print elsewhere IN this paper n
report of the meeting held Mt city hall
on last Friday evening FOR the purpose
of considering the question of securing
fire protection for the city of Mineral
Point. The meeting was largely at
tended by representative citizens, and
the expression of sentiment shows that
all of our citizens are In favor of talk
ing Immediate steps towards securing
an increased water supply and the
necessary apparatus for cxtinguishing
fires. Up to the morning of Tuesday,
May !, the business portion of the city
had been exempt from fires for many
years. But the disastrous fire of that
morning brought the people to n real
ization OF the fact that our city, al
though up-to-date in very many
respects is far behind the times in the
matter OF fire protection. The meet
ing was beneficial in bringing out the
real sentiment of the people in regard
to the matter, and there is no doubt
that the cit, council at its next meet
ing will proceed to carry out the
recommendations of the citizens meet
ing and procure fire engines and hose,
and construct cisterns SO Ms to secure
sufficient water supply in the business
part Of the city. The council is fully
competent to attend TO the business
and Mineral Point will have good lirt
protection Mt no distant day,

FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE
Friends Of Arbitration Still Sanguine
Of Success

An appeal for a renewed effort for
:he adoption Of an arbitration treaty
with Great Britain has just been made
by the permanent committee on arbi-
tration appointed by the national corr
ference held in Washington last year
The committee expressed the belief that
the rejection by the senate of the treaty
initiated in accordance with the joint
resolution of congress, passed in 1890.
was against the highest interests, not
only of the two nations Immediately
concerned, but of the world, and was
against the prevailing national convic-
tion. The opinion is expressed that the
national conviction which found such
widespread expression while the treaty
was in process of negotiation remains
essentially unchanged. 1t is urged that
advocacy of the great cause of inter-
national peace should> be everywhere
maintained, and that the effort should
still be not only for arbitration as fit oc-
casion may arise, but also for a proper
and permanent system of arbitration
between the United States and Great
Britain, as the most influential step
toward the adoption of arbitration by
all civilized nations. Friends of civil
ization everywhere will second the ap-
peal and aid it by all the means at their
mmand.-Bradstreet's May goth.
