The fire departments Of several North
ern cities are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF equipping their engines and hose carts
with rubber tires, though as yet these
plans have hardly passed the expert
mental stage. In New York the change,
if made, will cost the city several hundred
thousand dollars, and so of course it will
not be hastily entered into.
1t is claimed by the advocates Of the
rubber tires that they will save much of
to jarring which is so destructive to tho
delicate machinery of the engines, and
that locomotion, especially on thorough
fares ramifed by street-car tracks, viii
be greatly accelerated. The trouble so
far experienced, however, has arisen from
the matter of brakes. With the ordinary
brake applied TO the tires while in mo-
ton the streets would quickly be strewn
with remnants of the tires. Mechanical
minds are now engaged in seeking a rene
dy for this difficulty, and in New York a
roller or friction brake appears to meet
the emergency.
The streets, it is said, would be saved
AliuNll NN0i oAAN NN&A "a NAC 1
were adopted, and, of course, the noise
which has hitherto marked the move
ments of the fire department would be
stopped, though this might possibly prove
n fruitful source Of accidents. The speed
at which the horses must necessarily be
driven requires an absolute right of way
on the streets, and heretofore the rattle
and clatter has served as a warning to
the occupants Of other vehicles. In Rich
mond there have been several serious ac-
cidents which resulted from collisions
with the heavy apparatus, and one OF
these came very near producing frightful
consequences. 1t is 10 be presumed, how
ever. that the gongs attached to the en-
gines and hose carts will be required TO
do vigorous work il the rubber tires are
adopted.
We shall watch the experiments in New
York. Pittsburg, and Paris before we ask
Richmond to commit herself to his inno-
walton.

FREDERICKSBURG.
DIR. Dunnway's Observation-Disclosures
esffng Service.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA. December
19.-(SpeciaL)-Rev. DR.. r. S. Dunaway,
who for thirty-two years has faithfully
and earnestly served his Master and the
congregation Of the Baptist church here,
yesterday severed his connection as pas
tor of that denomination. The occasion
was also the thirty-secOnd anniversary OF
his pnstorate. Some time before the SER
vice began the church had been taxed 10
its utmost seating capacity. and when the
Doctor arose to his sermon
every available space was occupied. lie
took for his text III. Corinthians vi. ID
"Now for n recompense In the same; l
speak as unto My children, be ye en-
larged." After enumerating some Of
Paul's labOrs and s%elf-denials for the
Church at Corinth and his ardent attach
ment for the people, DR.. Dunaway, among
other things, said: "As a recOmpense or
reward for all | rave done i only ask, in
Paul's language, that you live consistent
Christian lives and be enlarged" He then
said il was a peculiar coincidence that
nearly all the important events Of his life
were clustered within ninety days-his
first sermon, ordination. spiritual birth,
marriage. and pastorate Of the church
occurring within hat period. After giving
a brief statistical history OF the church.
in which he said that since his pastorate
800 persons had been received In the
church, of which number 917 had been re-
moved by death, erasure. and otherwise,
leaving a net gain of 4l3, with a member
ship of 6jf. he advised the members TO pro-
cure a pastor as early as possible and pay
off the 81 200 Indebtedness, which he said
he had hoped they would do before his re-
tirement.
At the suggestion Of Rev. J.. =. Stump.
OF the Methodist church, who participated
in the exercises, and which denomination
had suspended their morning services in
honor Of DR.. Dunaway, the 81 DO referred
to by Or. Dunaway was raised.
Tonight the church was again crowded,
the occasion being the farewell services
by the church in commemoration of DR..
Dupaway's pastOrate. The programme
was as follows:

WE ARE THE NATION.

As President Mckinley progressed geo.
graphically in his swing around the
southern circle. he progressed in boldness
In championing the cause Of imperialism,
and at Savannah Saturday night he reach
cd the climax in respect Of this matter.
When he came to touch upon the Philip
pine issue I'm his Savannah speech, Mr..
McKinley's argumfnt, I'm the shape OF
questions. was unanswerable-if his PIE
misses were sound. But there's the rub.
His premises were utterly unsound. They
were a series of unwarranted assumptions
most adroitly phrased.
Mr.. Mckinley claimed that the nation,
in pursuance OF the line Of duty, placed
itself in a position in which it incurred
the responsibilities he went on to enume-
rate. The nation did nothing of the kind.
President Mckinley and his imperialistic
cabal, in violation of the pledge the ma
ton gave in the Cuban resolutions, and
through commissioners appointed TO do
the will. and the will alone, Of the presi-
dent and his ad, listers. brought about pres
ent conditions. The record shows that the
situation is not the result of the nations
pursuing the line of duty, but of a viola
ton on the part Of the administrations
impcrialistlc coterie of their duty to the
nation. as that duty is written indelibly
upon every page of the history of the re-
public.
MIR. Mckinley and the powers immedi-
ately behind the presidential chair took
the matter into their own hands in de-
fance of the rebuke to them conveyed in
the congressional elections, and in disre-
gard of protests from commercial and
other organizations all over the land.
Responsibilities have been entailed upon
the nation by this act. but they are not
the responsibilities President Mckinley de-
picted, and which would involve the car
rying out of his policy at the risk of
wrecking our institutions. The nations
responsibilities lie in thwarting, so far as
may be in its power, the administrations
scheme, in repudiating responsibility for
the breaking of the anti-conquest pledge,
and in blocking the way to militiarism.
And much may be accomplished in this
direction by making manifest the tremen-
dous support that IS behind the Senators
and Representatives in Congress who are
opposed to annexation. Much can be ac-
complished in this direction by chal-
longing by public voice the Presidents as
sertion that we are free from divisions
at home.
No, the policy OF annexing the Philip
pines Is the policy Of President Mckinley
and certain restricted interests of the Re
publican party. who think they see in the
militarism and civil office patronage that
would follow its contamination a way OF
perpetuating indefinitely the domination
OF the Republican party. Hence the net
conclusion of the whole business is that
MIR. McKinley's claims as 10 the nations
responsibilities and the trend and unity
Of national sentiment touching our duty"
carry with them the further claim that
he and his cabal are the nation.
