Berlin treats a fire as a very serious
offense against the common peace and
welfare and after a fire has been put
out, the police set to work investigat-
ing the causes with an eye to punish
ing the culprit. In recent fire in that
city, caused by a tile falling out of
one of their big tile stoves. and burn
ing its way to the floor below, the po-
lice discovered that the zinc under the
stove. was some inches smaller than
the law of the city prescribes. The
tenant was called upon to explain his
negligence of the law. The tenant
claimed that he only leased the
room of which the stove was an ap-
pointment for which he was not re-
sponsible. The police then fastened
the blam on the landlord who promptly
shifted it off on the previous owner on
the plea that he had but recently
bought tn house as it stood and was
not primarily responsible for the in
adequate zinc under the stove in the
garnet bed chamber. The court warn
ed him of his duty in the case but let
him go and sought out the previous
owner who had sold the building. 1t
proved that he had caused or allowed
the stove to be set up on the too small
zinc and he was fined enough to pay
for the expenses of the flre department
in getting to and extinguishing the
fire, was required to repair the dam
aged plaster and woodwork and was
fined three hundred marks beside for
having violated a clause of the fire or
dinances of the city. London. Paris
and Berlin are all better guarded
against fires than any American cities.
We of America can put out a fire more
quickly than any other nation can, but
they can keep from catching afire
longer So honors are about easy I'M
less the old adage is true which says
that an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.

According to some reports Isl An
has accepted the following peace con-
ditions: The early return of Kwang Su
to power indemnity to the amount of
G 40 600. 900, the right of each legation
to maintain guard of 1000 troops, and
the maintenance of a foreign adviser
in every province of the empire. If
she should agree to any such complete
surrender to the foreigners, it will
without doubt be with the silent reser-
walton that she will break the agree
ment as soon as possible. The doughty
old woman has probably not exper-
fenced any change of heart as to the
foreign devils nor as to her desire to
dominate in China, and any promise
that she may make is as good as brok-
en- as soon as made. for while there
is hope she will plot for the throne
and against the white man in China.

In several cities the Crusade against
vice" that is now in progress has di-
rected itself against the dance halls
first of all. These disreputable resorts
are also the worst feature of Ell Paso's
carnival of law-violation. They are
not only the worst, but they are abso-
lutely without the specious defense
that is put up for the other houses of
crime and outlawry. There is not the
slightest excuse for their existence.
they breed crime and criminals. they
ruin the young. they pander to the
worst element in the community, and
in openly protecting them, as is done
by the police of this city with the con-
nivance of the mayor, the authorities
are committing fearful crime against
the community.

From the Kansas City Journal.

The strike of the union telegraph
operators on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe road is an unfortunate occur
| renee for several reasons. In the first
place it will deprive a large number
of employees of salaries which they will
need for the support of their families.
These employees have voluntarily aban-
doned positions in which they were
making a good living and which, &C
cording to statements of some of the
officials of the road, they will never be
able to regain. They have embarrassed
the road in its operations and thereby
jeopardized the business interests of
thousands of producers and shippers
| who are oepenoent on this railway
for transportation.
They have done this, not because
they had any grievance against the
company for they had none. The COM
pany was faithfully living up to all the
| obligations imposed by it's contract
| with them. Their strike is that I'M
| reasonable unfair and unjustifiable
proceeding known as sympathetic
| strike" Only in the rarest cases is
sympathy strike ever eXcuSable. Men
who are well treated by their employ
ers, who have no grounds of complaint
and have preferred no complaint, have
no moral right to violate their obliga-
lionS 10 tneSe employers merely De-
cause men of the same or kindred
craft have precipitated trouble in some
other quarter. Especially is this true
when, as in the present case, they are
under contract agreement to give en-
ployers due notice before quitting their
service. According to President Rip
ley, the Santa Fe telegraphers were
obligated by written contract to give
the company thirty days notice be-
fore leaving its service.
There can be no encouragement to
employers of labor to enter into agree
ments with employees when the latter
show no respect for their promises. In
all such contracts employers make con-
cessions in return for promises of this
kind which would not be made other
wise. and employers are expected to
fulfill their part of the agreement to
the letter. Is it any wonder that they
desire to be permanently rid of men
VINO suddenly quit their posts of duty
in violation of their solemn agree
ment? Organized labor has its rights,
but these rights do not absolve it from
the duty of redeeming it's promises and
living up to its contracts duty bind
ing on all honorable men everywhere.

GOOD WORK OF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE DIRECTORS

The directors of the chamber of
commerce took action Friday night on
three important matters. for which
Ley deserve high commendation. A
new set of by laws was adopted, it
was decided to secure Prof. Carrera's
mineral collection for the Midwinter
Carnival, and an offer of fifty thous
ant dollar bonus was wired to Phelps.
Dodge and Company of New York, to
be paid in the event that the Bisbee
road should be extended to this city
within the next year.
1t is true that the sending of the Of
fer of a bonus does not commit the
chamber of commerce to anything. At
the suggestion of the First National
bank the offer was made thai such an
amount could be raised, bl- SO far as
the chamber of commerce was con-
authority to the offer in transmitting
it. Even this action was taken against
some opposition. but thu fact that the
offer is now made in the name OF the
chamber is gratifying. ! 1t will tend to
increase the prestige of the chamber
both at home and abroad.
In the matter of themineral exk bit
the record of the directors Is not so
pleasing, and yet the result will no
doubt be satisfactory. The offer made
by Prof. Carrera was a most generous
one, and in accepting it the chamber

of all it's own members and of the city
at large. The amount involved was
only two hundred dollars, and yet, such
is the tiresome timidity and absence
IF push in some of the controlling spir-
its of the chamber that they wanted to
this small amount away from the
chamber on to the shoulders of some
committee. The committee had no more
to do with it than the British prime
minister, yet it was only after consid-
cradle delay and obstruction that even
the qualified acceptance Of the profess
sor's offer was given. By way of sug-

directors, as a body. would exercise
and exhibit little more forceful, pro-
gressive, and hopeful spirit, showing
that they had confidence in the people
to sustain them in carrying out the
work of the chamber. they would not
have SO much cause to complain of lack
of support. The officer who stood be-
hind a tree and complained that his
men would not follow him into the
fight would not compare very favor
ably for bravery with him who drew

THAT TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

From the Pass City Independent.
That pitiful story, "a terrible ex-
perience," told by three recruits from
the Philippines in the morning paper
the other day, was a farce pure and
simple. The men passed through here
all right and all three Of them were as
healthy looking specimens of manhood
as one could wish to see after passing
through the trying ordeal that they
said they experienced. They were not
too sick to imb.ue a few flowing
bowls ere they left and puchase a
bottle of old rye at the Palace saloon
One of them had his left hand bandag-
ed. but aside from this, they appeared
to be as happy as June birds. No doub,
they wanted to spend Christmas al

TROUBLE WITH THE
CENSUS ENUMERATION.

The city OF Albany is feeling very
sore over the inadequate result of the
recent census. The chamber of COM
merce has taken the matter up
through its committee on statistics
and publication, and a partial recount
has demonstrated the fact that thous-
ands were missed in the count. Just as
they were in this city. The Albany
Investigators, being rabid democrats
affect to believe that politics entered
into the work. and that the misrepre-
sentation was intentional. This charge
may be dismissed as too childish for
consideration. Neither democratic
against, and the intentional fall
styling of returns on such an
enormous scale, involving the fixing"
of some $4,000 enumerators, would be
impossible. Hence it is to local causes
that we must look.
In Albany the same trouble was en-
countered as in this city. according to
the report of the committee. Investi-
CATION showed that there were evil
dences of lax methods and an utter
want of careful oversight" Many of
the appointees were not only incom-
petent, but were indolent and care
less The Argus goes on thus:
In the third ward, one of the wards
in question, one enumerator was eject
ed from a citizens house. He came
there when grossly intoxicated, his
census being covered with blots. An
other was dismissed from a gentle
and abusive. A third told several fam
lilies upon whom he called that the
census took no account of children"
At house after house were slips offer
ed to our men, having been left by the
regular census taker, but never there
after called for. 1t was the custom
of many of the federal appointees to
record such names as could easily be
reached but when the revisiting of
houses and the following up of absen-
tees absorbed time for which 2k cents
a name did not prove remunerative
they ceased their labors and filed their
imperfect sheets. This is the reason
that Vacant and "Out of Town" ap-
pears in SO many of their blanks.
1t is most unfortunate that Ell Paso
old nothing to Offset the work of the
federal census takers. We should at
least have had a remuneration by
competent men. under salary and I'M
der oath, to which count the city auth
critics and chamber of commerce
could certify as to it's correctness, and
which could then be used in all official
publications.
The fact should be widely advertised
mat Ell Paso has $4,000 or $4,000 peo-
pie, instead of the less than $1,000 ac-
corded by the census. That incom-
plete enumeration will damage us
greatly and unjustly. and it is not too
late even now to take the proper ac-
ton. Arrangements could be made to
count the population about the first of
February. after the carnival crowd had
gone, but before the people had begun
to go away for the summer. The win
ter population in this city is more nor
NAL than the summer, since the sea-
son during which this city is a popu-
lar resort is seven or eight months,
not three or four

Dear Sir:-I sent you marked
copy of the Spokesman Review some
days ago. The article / wish to draw
your attention to is an interview with
one julius Brechlin q believe the
Review has his name john with Re-
view reporter. Mr.. Brechlin is the
superintendent of the mine that is OPP
Grated under the name of the Palmer
Mountain Copper Mining and Milling
Co. which property l purchased from
him last August and Incorporated un-
der that name.
The incorporators are some Of the best
men of Spokane, and are as follows: A.
s. Dibble, a grocer; II. ONO, proprietor
of one of the largest art stores in the
north west and one of Spokane's city
councilmen; j. j. White, the city
treasurer, is the treasurer for the Co,
and f. II. Thompson. principal of the
North West Business College, is the
secretary.
/ would like to say that the Com.
pany held a special session while Mr..
Brechlin was here and decided to have
him return to the mine and increase
the force dU Une milne, anu JndG we are
now working three shifts of men which
keeps the work going night and day..
The Company has also raised the
price of the treasury stock and has dis
posed of a large amount of it to the
original incorporators, but at the pres
ent price it is one of the best invest
ments in the United States. There is
still block of about $4,000 shares to
dispose of at the present price, and
we anticipate for the balance of the
stock a raise of at least cents per
share when we receive the next report
from the mine, when the present con-
tract will be concluded, and which will
lower the shaft to the depth of IS feet.
In conclusion l will say that should
anyone in Yale wish to secure a block
of this stock they can do so by sending
direct to any one of the above officers
of the Company at the present price
which is cents per share, or address.
ing the writer Money can be sent to
the treasurer of Spokane and will see
that the stock is issued upon receipt of
the same in any amounts desired.
Yours respectfully,
J. M. Palmer.
