Lakeville is experiencing the same discontinue that our citizens did few years ago when the voters defeated 8 project for fire district because they could not be made to see the matter in its true light. In Lakeville last week the project was killed by vote of 34 to O because . great many voters identi- cal with the case in CaauAL) labored under the idea tn sewers, street light ing, etc. lurked in the background. It was not 50 in. either case, but no mat ter, the bugaboo killed the fire district. However the Lakeville Journal says the idea of fire protection in that town is not dead, but the Journal is young and hopeful. In our case we cherish no such hope, as the fire district or an sde- Quate system of protection is so old corpse 1t is not fit to be disinterred
 The alternative in both villages seems to be-insure heavily and let the fires burn.

FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

It is announced at the war depart ment that there is to be no wholesale distribution of brevets as the result of the Spanish war. Brevet rank after the Civil war became laughing stock on account of it's oheapnsss. This fact is % notorious that the president has sn- nounced that he will not entertain re. commentators for the brevet rank other than for services rendered in bat. tle, and that this decision will govern in all casea. This determination of the president was communicated by cable on August 29 to General Merritt in re- ply to recommendation of that officer that brevets be granted to Majors Mo- Clure, Whipple and Kilbourn, whose extraordinary services in the payment of troops in the Philippine Islands he desired to have recognized. This de- cision will be of interest to large num- aer of officers of staff corps in the army bnd to many officers of volunteers who have hopes upon muster out to carry home with them the record of higher rank than they attained during the war. Washington Correspondent Philadsl- phia Ledger.
 Speaking of the victory of General Kitchener over the khalifa and his Dervishes at Omdurman in Africa the Chicago Tmes-H Herald says:
 England has made no greater con- quest within the present century, and it is conquest that makes for freedom and civilization. It will abolish the slave trade that has long been carried on by the Arabs of the Soudan, and will open regions of wealth and industry thst commerce has not yet reached. That great region of the upper lakes that Spoke and Grant and Burton and Stanley and Livingston and Baker mad known to the world, will now be brought within the influence of modern civilization and contribute its wealth to the progress of mankind.
