THE RENO FIASCO.

There will be all manner of efforts
to account Tor the result of the affair
at Reno yesterday and probably in
most instances there will be appar
ent a disposition to explain away the
one real reason--fhat Jeffries was de.
cidedly the inferior fighter. Jaffries
Is not the man he was when he won
| the champions belt not by a long
ways, and he never can BE- again Al
though he had various advantages,
physically, over his opponent, greater
weight and heighth, longer reach,
greater chest measurement, etc. 1t
was evident from the beginning OF
yesterdays bout, that he had lost his
skill with the fists and his nimble-
ness Of movement on his feet. A
man can not live as Jeffries has lived
during the last six years and hold his
own in the prize ring. or acquire
again in a few months what he has
lost.
Any talk that the result may be
taken in a broad sense, as indicating
the physical decay Of the white race
Is. Of course foolish. The superiority
of the white race as race. physical
ly, mentally and morally. is attested
by the history OF centuries past AMI
will continue to be so attested for
centuries to come, although there is
reason to hope that the negro race
will gradually lessen the relative
state Of the races in these respects.
As to the effect of yesterdays re-
suit on prize fighting, that can not be
easily fore told. More than likely
popular interest in t will be re-
vived and strengthened by the desire
to see the championship title wrested
from Jobnson--and that some one
will arise in due course of time who
will do this goes without saying.
But on one thing probably most
said that can be said in extenuation
of, or as an apology for, prize fight
ing, no one with proper sense OF
what civilization ought to be. can
read the story of the last round OF
yesterdays fight, as revised and
amplifled in this mornings Bulletin,
without feeling that this sort Of
sport" ought to be stopped, an4 that
the development of physical manhood
should be sought in some other less
brutal way. ,

THE NEW FIRE CHIEF.

The Star of recent date published
by Alderman Williams) offers some
good suggestions as to what may be
reasonably looked for from the new
fire chief, Mr.. Lind. also suggests
that if he has not now the authority
to do these things, or require them to
be done, he should be vested with
that authority without delay, else he
can not be blamed if things go wrong.
The Star outlines the following as
among the duties of Mr.. Lind:
Inspect all buildings and have de.
fective fiues and wiring put in safe
condition. and order the removal OF
such rubbish as might become the
source of fire.
Familiarize himself with the con
struction. exits, entrances stairways
and elevator openings of principal
buildings and business houses.
Have fire hydrants in city flushed
every 30 days to free them from mud
and sediment and report all hydrants
not in seryieeable condition.
Require firemen to familiarize
themselves with the location of all
MIGRANTS in their district
Report partly burned or dangerous
building SO that same may be torn
down
Require written reports on all fires
as to origin, time, place cause, dam
age sustained, how extinguished,
character of building and occupancy,
number and names of firemen on
duty, cause of absence of those fire.
men not present cause of any delav
in reaching fire, cause Of damage or
loss of equipment, condition of hose,
number of feet used at each Are,
number OF feet at each station,
length of time in use designated by
name of hose.
Require frequent fire drills.
The Water Company should not be
overlooked says the Star, and while
the city is improving its fire depart.
ment the water company should be
ordered to make such Improvements
as are recommended by the state
board Of fire underwriters in the re-
port OF K. r. Townsend 1t will take
some time to make such improve.
ments, possibly year, and by that
time the equipment of the fire de-
partment should be increased to
meet all requirements, when lower
fire insurance rate would be assured.
Chief Lind probably realizes fully
tthe possibilities of his office and
can be depended upon to do his best
for the people. He must be given q
reasonable time to demonstrate his
capacity for the duties of the posi-.
ton and has right to expect the
confidence and good will of the PEG,
pie during that time. Cairo has had
no active fire chief for years, and
the department has been running t
self pretty much. Doubtless it will
be found that some new ordinances
must be passed, or old ones amend
ed, to meet the new conditions and
permit thorough organization Of the
department for effective work. Thi.
probably will be done In due time.
