New Fire Station. 1880 George Kaboth,
chairman OF the Public Property Com
mittee, states that the committee has
been in communication with the o, Il,
& \, officials. looking toward securing
a site for installing the new fire de-
partmcnt station. About n year ago
the company proposed to the city that
fire station be established near its
property, stating that they would allow
the city the use Of the property for a
rental Of So a month. At that time the
city did not feel able to consider the
proposition, but now the matter has
been taken up with the company, and
it is probable that the new station will
be put in, and one OF the fire engines
kept there in condition for any emer'
gcncy which may arise.

Roanoke for word of the drifting raft
but Captain Dunham had no news to

on her way. She had to enter Eureka
to secure supplies for longer cruise
after her lubberly charge. OF the big

UNDERGROUND ROADS FOR FREIGHT.

Chicago deserves congratulations upon the
new and practically unique transportation IA
c.lities which the city now enjoys. Ipe con-
struction OF an underground railway Tor the
distribution Of heavy freight will undoubtedly
prove O double blessing. A removal from the
surface of the streets of a large part or the
traffic formerly conducted with heavy trucks
ought TO insure prompter deliveries from the
terminals of the trunk lines to the large mer-
camille houses to which shipments have been
made 1t should also facilitate the movements
of the other classes Of vehicles which remain
In service ut the old level Electric cars, cabs
and carriages and light delivery wagons Will
hereafter be able to make better progress than
hitherto, since the possibility of a blockade
especially at the intersection of busy thorough"
fares has been sensibly diminished.
The expediency of following in other places
the precedent thus established would depend
ON a number of circumstances. If it were nee
essary to excavate to any great extent through
rock the work would prove much more eXpen-
sive than bUrrOwing through prairie soil. The
length of the requisite tunnel would be an
other factor in the problem. The freight ter
minaI of the New Haven road in this city, for
instance. is north of the Harlem River, and
hence about six or seven miles from the prin-
cipal drygOOds houses of the metropolis. The
terminals Of the lines which cross New Jersey

vantageOus to the patrons of one road, there
fore, might involve a particularly long haul In
order to accommodate those of another. IL
would also be judiciOus, if not necessary, TO
consider how large a proportion of the freight
which comes to a city like New York from
given region. such as New England, was car
ried by water and how much by rail- A COM
parison of that sort might show that it would
be folly to build a tunnel at all, or else that
one would be remunerative only i'll case it
led from the steamboat piers, rather than from
a railway terminus

LAW OR LOOT!

The Mad Mullah has gone on the warpatn
again. We are told that he has raided and
devastated nineteen villages. doubtless with
much bIoodshed. barbarous cruelty, outrage and
plumber Also local pOtentate has gone after
him and driven him away, with loss Of more
than seven hundred men killed on the local
potentate's side and an unmentiOned, but prob
ably much larger, number on the mullahs. All
of which Is published in a matter-Of-fact way,
without any eXclamations upon the atrociOus
wickedness Of the thing
Suppose however, the Mad Mullah had at
tackled a British camp or village and a British
force had gone after him and inflicted upon his
horde even a tithe of the losses suffered in the
engagement which has actually occurred. We
should have heard shrill and numerous chorus
of eXclamations and denunciatiOns of the wicked
butchery which a professedly Christian nation
was practising upon guileless sons of nature,
and should be told that civilized nations would
better keep out of uncivilized lands altogether
If they could do no better than that. Witness,
for example, what was said about Lord Kitch-
ener's magnificent Khartoum campaign.
Suppose. again. the incident to be in the Phil
ppnes: that instead of a Mad Mullah some
Pulajanes, adrones or other professional out
laws are on the warpath. and that instead Of
some local pOteDtate a United States colonel
with his regiment goes after them and snashes
them. Why, we shall hear austere hOmilies on
the awful sin of a civilized Christian nation in
thus depressing and massacring men whose only
fault is a love Of liberty and of their native
land If rival tribes in Leyte or AIindanaO
cherish a blood feud and slaughter each other
indefinitely, there is nothing to he said "for it's
their nature to-" But if a civilized force inter
veneS to stop the slaughter and to compel the
tribes to keep the peace. it is the abOminatOn Of
desOlatiOn
1t really does seem to us that while blood
shed is dreadful thing it is certainly no worse
when committed for the sake of maintaining
law and authority than when done for sheer
lust Of loot, and that II is better for a civilized
power to take hold with strong hand. as
Great Britain did in the SOudan and as we did
in the Philippines to stop chronic slaughterngs
and to establish peace, justice and the reign Of
law even at the cost of some fighting and kill
ing than for it to stand aside and let the whole
sale Kilkenny cat performance go on intermin-
ably, with incalculably more butchery.

THE PAPAL ENCYCLLCAL

The papal encyclcal on the French separa,
ton law will create disappointment in some
quarters where the Vatican was expected TO
assume more liberal attitude but it will cause
little surprise to those who discriminatory
consider the traditional necessities and policies
Of the extraordinarily complex organization Of
the Roman Catholic Church There is reason
for believing that many French priests and
bishops would cheerfully accept the new law
and that some would actually welcome il as a
desirable and beneficent thing The Church is
not Gallo, however. but Catholic and when
Rome speaks it is in the name of and for the
supposed advantage Of not part but the whole
This same consideration will lessen the sur
prise which might be felt by some at the tone
of the letter Of the American hierarchy Of that
Church, through Cardinal Gibbons, TO the Arch
bishop Of Paris. 1t is a truism that the Roman
Catholic Church has prOspered and is prosper
ing in America more than in any other land
and there can be little doubt that that fact is
due to the prevalence here of a system CORE
spending with the very one which France is
now establishing. We are therefore confronted
with the apparent inconsistency of the Church
in America in sympathizing with the Church in
France in its denunciatiOn of and opposition to
the establishment there Of a system correspond
ing with that which has proved so profitable TO
it here. But the inconsistency is only appar-
ent, or exists only in detail such attitude and
conduct being entirely cOnfOrmable to the gen
eral principle of the welfare of the whole
Church, which may be supposed to require one
policy in one land and another in another
Cardinal Gibbons, indeed expressly praises
the system of separation Of Church and State
here, with its accompaniment Of civil supremacy
over ecclesiastcism. 1t is true that he makes
the statement. which some might be inclined
at first to challenge, that disputes involving.
ecclesiastical property decided by the courts
''in conformity with her (the Church's) recOg-
''nized laws" But Of course he does not mean
that the civil courts recognize ecclesiastical laws
az superior to the civil laws or as binding upon
the civil authorities, but merely that churches
like banks or railroad companies or any other
civil corporations, are entitled TO have their own
special ordinances far as these accord with
the civil law OF the land
Now this latter is. we understand substan-
TALLY what the French government aims at in
requiring each individual church to be organized
with civil corporation of laymen, somewhat
after the fashion Of most churches In America
II there is difference between the French and
the American system, IL is merely such as there
IS between the French and the American system
in other things and In the general theory OF the
functions Of government and its relations TO
the citizen. There Is not identity, but corre-
g9ondsOes which We might express accurately
