Fire which started in an unknown
manner destroyed the home and con-
tents of Patrick Larkin, of East
Drinker street, Sport Hill, about 3
o'clock yesterday morning.
The fire was first discovered by Pres
ton Smith, engineer at the Dunmore
Electric Light plant, situated a few
blocks away. who Immediately sound
ed an alarm for fire for that district
from the gong at the plant. This
brought the every ready Independents
upon the scene, but they were him
dered in rendering good services on
account of the poor water supply, and
as consequence the house, which
was two story frame dwelling burn
ed to the ground.
The action of Permanent Man John
Van Horn in getting his team ready
and going to fire without an alarm
being sounded from an alarm box is
receiving much favorable comment. He
covered the distance, one mile and a
half, inside of five minutes. This is
remarkable, as it was all uphill Mr..
Larkin's loss is partially covered by
insurance.

The CounciI and 1t. Rights.

The council is doing no more than
its duty in insisting upon its rights as
the law provides in the present emer-
gcncy in the direction of municipal
affairs. Mayor McConochie has
courted and provoked the pending
issue by the summary and arbitrary
manner in which he has undertaken to
manipulate the affairs of the munich
pality from the standpoint of a
one-man power. The majority of
the council has by the action of the
mayor been placed on the defensive,
and is conducting its case with judg-
ment and decorum. The course pur-
sued last evening in the adoption of
Aid. Wheelan's resolution for ad journ-
ment until this evening and directing
that the removed officials be notified
to appear to defend themselves in the
face of specific charges on the part of
the mayor was eminently proper-es-
sentialiy so. The council could not in
Justice to the removed officials and
other city employees whom the mayor
has charged with neglect of duty and
not working in harmony with the ad-
ministration. which is equivalent to
the charge of insubordinatiOn, have
done other than it did. The council
could not in ordinary self respect, in
view of the defiant attitude of the
mayor, as to the rights of the
council and the statutory effect
of its expression, have failed to

make n determined stand for its
rights and their maintenance. The
mayor in submitting his appointments
to the council Immediately following
his Inauguration, recognized the con-
stitutional prerogative of the council
to pass upon them, and the essential
Importance of aldermanic sanction
to properly qualify and legali2e
the same. BY deliberately placing the
same appointees in Office the same
week despite the councils dissenting
vote he put himself up as municipal
dictator, assumed to be greater man
than the council with powers beyond
the council to pass upon, and. i.
in fact, usurped the rights of both
branches of the municipal government.
An alderman who would not oppose
such a stand to the bitter end, who
would not fight it out on that line if
it takes all summer, if necessary,
would be unworthy of the name of
alderman. and ought to resign his
seat to one capable of more proper
conception of the obligations and re-
sponsibilities of the position. To yield
to the mayor in the domineering at
titude he has assumed would be for
the alderman to admit that they are
mere figureheads. Rock Island has
not been in the habit of electing such
class of aldermen, and we do not
know of one who is willing to admit
such to be the case.
Further, the aldermen are discharg
ing duty to the city in determining
to contest the Issue from the start,
and having their legal rights proper
ly asserted and established at the very
outset. This is their obligation to
the people. In this lies the only
course in having the city officials
whom the mayor names properly con-
stituted. No appointee OF the mayor
is qualified, or is he responsible Of
flciallv, until the council sanctions his
appointment and approves of his
bonds. There is not now one of the
mayors appointee, serving who is
other than a temporary figure, ans
vera BILE to no one but the mayor for
his conduct, and for whose acts and
performances the city has no redress
whatsoever. To place men in position
of great responsibility without bonds
or other means of holding them ac-
countable, is reckless and unbusiness-
llhc, W SdN IuC lCSiSb- !" hCiO bhC
council as much disposed as the may
or to permit such state of affairs to
90 on, it might, as the Union sug-
gested in it's issue following the
mayors high-handed proceedings,
permit the appointees to serve tenn
porarily to the end of McConochie's
term, and leave the responsibility en-
tirely in the mayors hands. But
such a course would be highly repre-
hensible, as Indicating disposition on
the part of the aldermen to disregard
their duty simply because the mayor
had disregarded his. The aldermen
do not propose to surrender any of
their rights, nor do they propose to
knuckle to the executive. They are
not obliged to. The obligation lies in
directly the opposite course. They
must assert themselves, exercise the
duty that they were sent to the coun-
Gil to perform, and to tolerate no
attempt to override them.
