 Is Aerial Ladder Back in shape
 Two New Exercise Wagons.
 At the meeting of the fire commission CTS last evening considerable business was transacted. Messrs. Post, Johnon aud Lightbourn. representing the Busi- ness Mems association. appeared at the meeting and were given a hearing. They stated that the Business Mems associ- ation thought that in order to properly protect the city from fire losses there were many things needed in the depart ment Among other things they sug- gested that a water tower was neces- sary, and also an engine house within a block of the center of the city. They also stated that they had come to see if the Business Mems association could not in some way assist the fire commis- sioners in making the department in this city one of the best in the country. They believed that it was better to pay for apparatus than it was to pay high insurance rate. and they thought that it was probable that the rates for in- surance would be greatly increased in the next few years unless considerable was done in improving the department in the way of apparatus,
 | Commissioner Well informed the gen. tlemen that there were certainly more men needed in the department. and he said that the only way he thought the Business Mems association could ac- complish any reform was by appearing before the board of finance next year when they were getting out the esti- mates and request that appropriations be made for the things which they thought were necessary.
 Arr Post thought that if steam could not be gotten up quick enough on an engine which was stationed in the very center of the city. the city ought to have a steam engine to be run by it's own power and on which steam could be kept up all the time
 It was stated at the meeting that two ! new exercise wagons have arrived and No. Is arial ladder is now back to the house on Artizan street, stronger and better than ever. Ten men were re- ported absent during the month. The majority of the absentees were sick. The purchasing of coal for next win ter and the ice for the houses for this summer was left to the committee on supplies. It was decided to purchase another Eastman deluge service,

ger from the 'Mahdists, and Stanley was sent by the British government to relieve him. It is believed that deep political scheme for the strength ening of the British hold on South Af- rica lay under the surface of this avcv'- edly humane enterprise, and that Emip Pasha did not desire to be relieved, br- was virtually taken a most unwilling captive by Stanley. In 1899 a large territory within the southern end of which Emin had exercised a personal jurisdiction was added to British terri tory, and is now known as British East Africa, having a cOnjectural area of mere than half a million square miles. Stanley and Emin reached the east coast in 1889, but Emin soon re- turned to the African lake country, in the service of Germany. That odd character was murdered by natives in 1892.
 Stanley, upon his return to London after his successful quest for Enin Pasha, was received as the conquerOr Of an empire. The British govern ment treated him as a prince, and the queen made him a knight. The em- peror of Germany joined in the adula- tion, and in the midst of his new pODu- larity Stanley returned to the United States and delivered fifty lectures for S1,OOO each. Shortly afterward, upon his return to London, he passed under Q cloud because of a controversy into which he became engaged with one of the lieutenants of his expedition for the relief of Emin Pasha. Stanley was accused of having practiced gross cruelties upon his own men as well as the natives, and his explanations were marked by more bad temper than fr2nknesS

MT. Hearst and the Connecticut DeI-
 egatiOu.

There is something grotesquely hu- morous as well as disappointing about MT. Hearst's complaint that the Con- necticut delegation was bought away from him by Belmont and other wealthy New Workers representing the Parker interests. Under date of May G. MT. Hearsts publications printed dispatch from Hartford detailing how the Connecticut convention did not go for Hearst, and how, on the contrary, the Nutmeg delegates were instructed for Parker, and this paragraph is printed in black type:
 There was no doubt of instructions for Julge Parker from the moment of dict, National Committeeman Homer s. Cummings, MT. Waller and a gen tlenan whose name it is here unneces- sary to mention. representing the banking firm of August Belmont & O., g Nassau street, Manhattan
 Having set our hand to the blow, we do not propose to look back; having de- termined to aid our friends, the demo- crats, in their Iaudable efforts to se- cure an instructed delegation from Arizona for MT. Hearst, we do not pro- pose to make half-hearted fight, out the task would be easier if MT. Hearst would not do so many things that re- quire explaining. It must be con ceded that MT. Hearst's complaint about Connecticut is not in good taste. From the mint of western idioms there has appeared a word to describe the man who starts a game, or goes into an enterprise of his own choosing, and then, upon finding that others beat him at his own game, sets up a howl. This word to which there attaches no taint of vulgarity, is "bellyacher." We re- gret exceedingly to find MT. Hearst in the class of bellyachers, and in belly aching because he thinks somebody bid higher than he did for the Connecticut delegation he does not present a pleas ing spectacle.
 When MT. Hearst set out to capture the democratic nomination his readi- ness to pay a reasonable price for the same and for all delegates whose votes would contribute thereunto, was gen orally understood. Indeed. his cam paign has been conducted upon an honorable commercial basis and in en- tire consistency with the Bryan Hearst theory of democratic politics. It will be remembered that Mir Bryan and Mr Hearst have always explained the republican victories of 1896 and 1900 by saying that MT. Hanna bought so many voters who had intended to vote for Bryan that huge majorities were cast for Mckinley. Acting in harmony with his remarkable belief that a large percentage of the democracy is for sale. MT. Hearst went into the open market. But once in the market, he should not permit the failure of any dicker, however important, to ruftle his temper.
 Republican papers, in order to get Mir. Hearst on the track as the demo- cratic nominee, are willing to do any thing fair and reasonable to promote his campaign for delegates. But they cannot approve his sulking when he finds that he has underestimated the price of a delegation.
