MORTON'S NEW PARTY.

]. Sterling Morton, the great Ne
braska gold democrat is in favor of the
organization OF a new party. He don't
seem to fit in the republican ranks and
he would like to find some abiding
place for his political carcass. In speak
ing Of the new party he says:
Il have the utmost faith in the plan.
A party will be organized July 4 that
Will stand for conservatism pre-emi-
nently.
N doubt the platform will contain
some elements common to all parties,
but the keynote will be conservatism.
There IL a vast field for the new party's
operations.
The late war and its momentous
Issues. the struggle Of the two great
parties over bimetalism, the rise, de-
In and absolute decay OF populism,
all these elements contribute @ a sit
ustfon as pregnant as those which gave
birth to the republican party on the ap-
proach of our civil strife.
MY investigation teaches ME that
time is ripe. l do not care to pose
particularly as the head of the new
movement, therefore l will not at the
present time gu into details. But
will say before July 4 a call will be is
sued outlining the plan and it will be
signed by men OF national fame and of
tried political worth"

RULES IN CASE OF FIRE.

Chief Bonner, of the New York Fire
department, has issued some rules in
regard to the best course t be pursued
by persons in hotels when an alarm
Of fire is given. OF course they rest
upon long experience. They suggest
plans of action that would not readily
occur to those who had given no spe-
cial thought to the subject, and this
probably includes a majority of people.
The chief advises a guest who is sud
denly alarmed by fire in a hotel to keep
his door closed and to be careful that
the transom also is shut. Then go as
quickly as possible to the outside means
Of escape, and this knowledge ought to
be obtained as soon as a room is as
Of the Railways and stairways. Fire
escapes should be clearly located that
they could be found in the dark. 1t
may be necessary to try the halls. In
that cas- it is best to stoop low to es-
cape the smoke and heat, and the per-
Vol descending the staircase should
move near the wall.
A rope in a room is considered good
enough by Chief Bonner if a person
knows how to take a half turn around
the leg and slide down slowly, using the
foot as a brake. He advises against
any attempt to go down hand under
hand. The person on the rope should
not look down lest dizziness ensue. If
the flames are advanced and no escape
possible the best plan is to hang from
the window sill and wait for the fire.
men. When the door and transom of
the room are closed the chance of res
cue are good II the strength holds out.
The chief says in conclusion that it
takes a swift fire to beat the race of
nremen to rescue any person hanging
from the window sill. Nevertheless,
his remarks emphasize the desire for
nreproof buildings and an abundance
Of fire escapes, easy OF access and easy
Observation-Disclosures.
