AN EXTRAORDINARY ExPENsE.


The Glob be has not undertaken to
follow in its various interesting develop
ments the question which has given local
Republican politicians such intense con-
Germ, regarding the particular bid for
system of police alarm in this city that
ought to be adopted by the city council.
The statements which have prevailed
among Republican politicians, and have
to some exent found their way into the
Republican newspapers. show the affair
to be one which it would be best for
all Democrats and other disinterested cit
izens to leave to settlement by those who
appear to have such an intense interest
in one or other of the contesting systems.
But during a recent meeting of the con-
ference committee there was shown such
a manifest desire among certain Republi-
can officials to save the city some of the
surprising expense attending the proposed
introduction of the new police alarm sys-
TEN that it may not be amiss to bestow
a word on the subject.
The suggestion of President Clark, of
the fire board, made at that conference,
that it would be well to establish one
alarm system for both the fire and police
departments seems to the G 10 to be
in the line of the saving of the pubic
funds. Indeed, the remarks which were
made during that meeting to the effect
that the city might purchase the vari
Gus parts of the proposed alarm system
in the open market. with great resulting
saving seem to be worthy of the most
careful consideration. The expenditure
of any such sum as $4,000 for a police
alarm system has always appeared to
those who take the demands of the police
system into account to be a positively aw-
We can understand the gravity of the
needs of the fire department In this con-
nection. For the effective operation of a
fire alarm system it does not seem diff
cult to understand why such large sums
might be thought necessary. But that
$4,000 or any approximate sum should be
deemed necessary to secure the speedy ap-
pearance of a police wagon at a given
point IS practically inexplicable on any
theory which takes into account the bur-
dens of the taxpaying public
Let US by all means have a joint fire
and police alarm system. if 1t is at all
possible. Let us, too, get up our own
system. We have electricians of ability
and knowledge enough to put such
a system in operation. Whoever is de-
signed to secure the advantage of the
present movement for the establishment
of a high-priced system of police alarm
in this city, it is apparent that the city
can get along without any such system.
There is a chance here to save the
people something like $4,000 or SIS 600. Let
us hope that the occasion of doing so
may not be, allowed to escape.

know that such an opinion had been
given until several days afterward, and
that he would look into the matter per-
sonslly. and that if the opinion Of the
attorney general was found to be cor
rect 1t should stand, but he added that
all men were fallible. and that If the
attorney general had made a mistake

Shepard, of the appeal court, to be void

to morality and public policy" a.. 81
The case at issue was the appeal of
B. H. HELEN from the judgment Of the
superior court by which he was denied
the right to recover on a contract exc
cuted in 1886. By the contract Benjamin
w. Anderson was to pay HELEN $500 on
the marriage Of the former to Mrs. Sarah
Hughes. Hellum had contracted with
Anderson to bring about marriage be-
tween him and the Widow Hughes, in
consideration of the payment of S. down
and $500 when the marital event was
concluded. The S. was paid and receipted
for, but the groom baked at the pay
ment of the $500 The decision of the
superior court was affirmed, and the
costs Of the proceedings thrown on the
marriage broker. In delivering the de-
cision Judge Shepard said:
"All undertakings Of such gO-betweens
as mercenary matchmakers are repro
bated by law"

wANTED-LEss HOT WEATHER.

The heat which has prevailed for the
past week or over will soon be regard
ed with much uneasiness, If it is not so
regarded already, by the growers of wheat
in the Northwest. During the spring sea-
son and we'll up into the opening of sum-
mer, through the early days of June, the
rain supply was quite generous and the
cool weather continued with little varia-
ton. All the conditions, indeed, prevail
ed during that period looking toward
bountiful harvest. The weather for the
past couple of weeks, however, has been
before there was little but pleased an
ticipation.
OF course no damage has yet been
done This is the heart of the summer
season. and we have a right to expect
just the danger which prevails at this
time. 1t may pass away, and a period Of
rain and cooler weather ensue. Let us
hope that it will All the conditions thus
far have been eminently satisfactory. The
next two or three weeks can largely
make or mar the fortunes of our agricul-
turalists, and, incidentally, the fortunes
of every active business man in the state
and section.
1t is happy popularity of our climate
that no prolonged period of heat sets in
without the certainty of its being broken
in upon by showers usually preceded by
thunder storms. These showers are more
or less severe and prolonged. Indeed they
may safely be looked for at any time
now, since the period of unbroken heat
which has prevailed is much longer than
we usually experience. The threatening
conditions which usually prevail at this
time the farmer usually is familiar with.
They may result substantially in his ruin
or they may develop into the most be-
nefcent conditions for him. At this mo-
ment there is nothing to be done but
wait the developments Of the next week
or two before we can secure any in
telligent understanding of the crop pros
poets of the Northwest.
