THE F|REMfN ARE ANGRY
The Refusal to Increase Ap.
preparation Crimles Them.
SAY 1T Is A POLITICAL MOVE
All Hope Not Abandoned Yet, Though
They Will Not Forgive the
Slight.

The members OF the Phoenix Fire
Company are very sore over the way in
which they were treated in the City
Council on Thursday night
To a man they are of the opinion that
they have been most shamciuly treated
and that they have been made the vic
tins OF huge bunco game. They claim
that before any steps were taken in the
extensive and expensive alterations, ad-
ditions and repairs, the company was as
sued by the Council that they would be
properly remunerated and would receive
the necessary financial support
Secure in their faith in these promises
they made the Improvements to their
house, purchased truck with chem
ical attachment which cost $500, three
horses which cost $500, and the ambu-
lance which entailcd an expense of $3.50.
In view OF this the company asked that
its annual appropriation be increased
from $500 to $1,000. This request was
voted down.
In November the Phoenix had a
driver killed. and their engine damaged
to the amount of 5000, but no extra
appropriation was asked, rlthough had
they been so inclined they could lave
entered suit against the Street and Sewer
Department, as they claim that the ac-
cident would not have happened, had it
not been for the improper condition of
the street. At that time alas, it was
understood that their appropriation
would be increased when the improve
ments We're made.
Should there be- no increase it will be
necessary to sell the truck, three horses
and the ambulance, and thus throw
three men ont Of employment. Not only
have all the members Of the company
slgnitied their dsapproval OF the Conn-
cl's action but many citizens called at
the engine house yesterday and cX-
pressed themselves as being very much
displcascd with the treatment accorded
to the company.
One of the main features of the inn
provemcnts has been the ambulance,
which has been at he free disposal Of
the city. As this WAS the first that the
city has ever had which could be secured
in reasonable length ni time, some ap-
probation should Ir shown. To Illus
tratc its promptn"ss the members quoted
the case OF the Rev. Lafayette Marks,
who died 50 suddenly on Wednesday
Iast in s II Bavnard's store, ut Fifth
and Market streets. The ambulance Ar
rived Just five minutes after til" tclc-
phone message, M;lS- received.
The members also assert hat the mat
ter is a long way from befng ended.
The refusal is looked upon by thcm as
a political move and they have strong
hopes of overcoming the opposition.
The refusal to grant HE request is TO-
ganled as bad blow to the company
and it will be Il long time before it is for
given.

The people of North Carolina feel the
pinch of fiye-cent cotton. The fallare of
the Fusionists to keep their promise of
retrenchment and reduction WIS one of
the causes of their defeat
The Democrats did not win because
there are twenty thousand more Demo
Gratis than members of all other parties,
but because twenty thousand Populists
and Republicans voted for the Demo
cratic candidates in the faith that they
would give good and economical govern
ment. Those men will become Demo-
Gratis for all time and twenty thousand
more will join the party if If justifies
their expectations and is true TO all its
pledges. If it enters upon career of
extravaganza and fails to keep its
promises, the men who voted to put it in
power viii vote to put it out of power at
the next election. The party is on trial.
Il think writes one of the ablest of
the newly-elected State Senators in pri-
waite letter to the editor, 1T the worst
possible policy to start in TO make new
offices ON accession to power. So far
as ! can see there is no demand from
the people that we shall make new of
fices. but rather the contrary. If we
start out making nice offices for our
friends we shall find ourselves two years
from now where the Fusionists are to-
day. | am afraid our folks will forget
the lesson this election has taught"
There is a world of wisdom in these
few sentences.

Or. BR0UGa Os'S MISTAKE.

In his sermon at the Baptist Taber-
pacle on Wednesday night, DIR. l.. q.
Broughton made great mistake III his
severe criticism upon the cotton dealers
in Raleigh He has evidently been given
some incorrect information from unre-
liable sources, and i'll accepting 1t has
done great injustice to some of the best
men in the State, for the Raleigh cotton
dealers are as honest as any men in any
city.
If DR. Broughton had jumped on the
bulls and bears, and the gamblers in
futures, and the men who manipulate
the markets against the farmers, he
would have been endorsed generally. But
the cotton dealers in Raleigh have no
more to do with fixing the price of cot
ton than Dr. Broughton. They would be
glad to pay the farmers ten cents a
pound if they could do so. 1t is well
known fact that the Raleigh market is
the highest in the State, and often the
buyers pay more for it than the New
York prices warrant.
DIR. Broughton will, we have no doubt,
be glad to correct the injustice done
when he sees that he has been misin-
formed.
