HARRISON AND BENNER, Tho oxnct position taken by Mayor Han- n1son in his summary removal of Fira-Mar- shal Bennzr may bo stated ina single sen- tance: Hannwoy, 5a Mayor, desired Ben- nr to obtain from the firomena voluntary romigsion of & per cont of their pay, and then ho removed Bznxxn bocnnso the latter did not compel the firemen to submit to the proposed rednation, Is it possible to concolveof anything mora contradictory and absurd? ‘The obvious in- consistenoy of tho reason which Hannon acts up for his action in this matter necessi- tates the conclusion oither that Hannisox dooa not assign hia rool motive for removing the Fire-Marshal, or that the Mayor's head has actually been turned by an overwhelm. ing sonso of his pwn importance and he does not know what ho is doing. If Hanntson's plan was to procure from the firomen their free consent ton roduction of & por cent in their salaries, thon Marshal Bennen’s course was woll advised in simply communicating the proposition to the various companies, and it would have been highly im- propor ‘for lum to go nbout among the mon with nn implied throat of his own and tho Mayor's disfavor, ond with on intimation of possible removal in all cases whero tho consont to the reduction shall bo withheld. There would bave beon nothing freo or voluntary about such ao proceeding; and the conduct of both the Mayor and the Fire-Marshal would have been mean-spirited, because it would have boon on endeavor to prooure by intimidation what the responsible officials wero not willing to order outright. If tho reduction wns to be onforced, then it was cortsinly the business of the Mayor rather than that of tho Firo-Marshal to un- dertake tho job, Bnt THannison had ad- mitted to Dennen that he was unwilling to incur tho responsibility for issuing and en- forcing on ordor for reduction, and dosircd Benner, though a subordinate, to assume thorosponsibllity which ho himself sbirked. Whotler as n mattor of principle or a-mattor® of poltoy, Benner was right in rofusing to place himself in the breach, and Hanrtox was cowardly in domanding or oxpecting any such gacrifica on the part of. the Fire. Marshal. Benen had himself and his bonds- men to protect, andit would havo been reckless and foolhardy for him to assume to change tho pny of the firomen from tho rates fixed by tho Qonncil. when such action was of vory questionable authority, oud might en- toil serious dnmingos, Morcover, it is of the highest importance that the Fire-Marshal should be en rapport with his men, and Brnxen would have forfeited thoir respoct aud endangered tho efficionocy of the Do- partment, hnd ho gone abont in an undor- hand way to bully the fromen into what should apposr as a voluntary surrondor of pay they wero not willing lo romit. Every possiblo point of viow reveals the uttor solf- isuness and despicable meanness of tho Mayor's desire to. put upon the Fire-Marshal disagreeable responsibility which, if noces- sary, should haye beon borne by himeolf, Mr. Hannusos’s offort to impress the pub- lio that his dismissal of Fire-Moraiin! Bexnes, ‘was prompted by his own dosire to reduco expenses und Brxnen's alloged resistanco, ia too foable to deceive anybody. It is uot trne. The pay of the firemen was fixed by’ the Connell, ‘Tho aubsequont pnssago of the bill limiting the expenditure of monoy to 75 per cont of tho tax lavy brought about an apparont conillet of lawa which should have boon construed by tho logal ndvisors of the corporation, If the new law warranted tho Mayor in roducing salaries which had bsen fixed by the Council, his counsel shonld kaye advised hitn of that fact, and he should have issued an ordar to that effect. If he has no such authority, then ho had no right to de- mand that tho Fire-Mareial ahonld do what he himself could not do lawfully. Mr. Bux- nen has never shown .any opposition to lawfal reduction of exponacs; on tho con- trary, he has kept the contingont expanses of the Dopartmont at the minimum, ho has adapted himself to avery reduction mado by the Council, and bo has maintained the efll- ciency of his Department in spite of roduc. tious caloulnted to impair it. If there is anything meauor than YLannison’s attempt to shift responsibility properly attached to his offlee upon the Fire-Marabal, it is his subso- quent effort to make tho public holfeve that: Dennen, by refusing to asanine this responsi- bility, had ploced himself in the way of a necessary reduction of expenses. Asa matter of fact, there is abundant rea. son to think that Hannison has been actuated by other and unworthy motives In this caso, When ho assumed the position of Mayor, ho adopted tho aensoloss rulo of requiring rasig- natious from all the chicf men jn the City Govornmont. . His purposo was sither to ap- point auccassora from among the Dewooratio pbummors seeking office, or, by doctining lo accept the resignations, to place the incum. vente undor a direct, porsonal obligation to himeolf for tho retention, It wax avory low Procesding, promulgated in a very lordly fashion, Fire-Marshal Besyzn was about the only prominent official who declined to subinit to the indignity, though he had evory assurance that he would be rotained in caso ho would hand in bis resignation, He very properly took tho. ground that his terin of office had not oxpired, that he had not dong onything to demand his removal, ang that he would not pandor to Wasutwow's ridiculous senso of his own importanco, It is uot unlikely that tho Mayor has been watch- ing ever since then for on opportunity to remove Bennxep, and that his recent action ‘was suggested by petly spite and in order to puniah Bexwey for the mault which the lat- ter offered His Magnificence by refusing to hond in his resignation ike vassal at the 1 beglauing of tho present Administration, It may be, alao, that Hanntson hes n desire to maka somo Demoerntic bummer Fire-Mar- shal, notwithstanding his reoont protest againat the intolerable torturo ho was suffer. ing at tho hands of the partisan office-seck- ers, He cannot consiatoutly promote Sweniz, Decnuso tho Intter hag just as little sympathy as Benner with the effort to forvo the fire. inén into a voluntary” surroudor of thoir pay. In this caso Hannteon has made a fatal binnder, which, if not promptly righted, will produce so emphatic 9 protest froin tho pupliethatho himsolf wili be obliged to resign, So long as Hannisox’s pomposity manifosted itsolf in agtiona that were comparatively harmless, the public contented itself with Inughing ‘at him. But when ho threatens tho efficiency of the Fira Dapartment in or- dor to gratify his ridiewlous vanity, the pub- lic coages to laugh, and willdemand ao little common sense from His Magnificence. Bex- nxnis ontitled to tho crodit of having ad- vanced the Chicngo Fire Departmont from a condition of imbecilityto the first rank in the world, The business men know this; the underwriters’ know it; tho Council knowsit; tho Fire Dopartment itself will admit it unanimously. ‘The interests of life, property, and business demand his reten- tion, The underwriters ond business mon should take public action in the mattor, ‘Tho Council should refuse, under-the new Inw, to nequiesce in Brxxrn'a removal; and, when tho Inttor's term shall expire at “tho ond of this month, Mayor Hanrtson should eithor yield to public opinion by reappointing Bexnea, or ho should band in that resignn- tion of his own which ho has holf promised the people. Itia much moro important to this oity that Besser shonld be Fire-Marehel than it ia that Hanntson should Le Mayor. THE REPUBLICANS AND SILVER, The annonncemont was made from Wash- ington gn ‘Thursday that tho Caperessionnl Republican Comnittee, which assumes to mannge the Republican party, had ordored tho printing of 40,000 copies of the recent spocchea of Mr. Monton, of New York, ogainat the coinage of silver dollars, It was further added that theso'speeches wero to be printed for circulation by tho Republican Committoe in Ohio to inflnonco tho election in that State, Itis just possible that this Committee, or whoover js the mannging director, is moro oficions than wise. Who has constituted that Committce an authority to declare tho Republionn party of the country or of Ohio to bo oppordd to the largest possible coinage of silvor dollars? Who has suthorized that Committee to rep- resent to the people of Ohio thnt the Re- publican party ig hostile to silyer money, and in favor of gold as tha only motallic money? Tho act of 1878 remonetizing tho silver dollar wan pased by the House of Representatives by the combined votes of Domocrats ond Ropublicans over the President's veto, aud it was passed by moro than a two-thirds voto over thesame vato by the Republican Senate, It was the Repub- licans m both Toures of Congress who passed the bill originally, and who contrib- uted the votes by which the Preatdent’s veto was overrhled. ‘lhe present Republican candidate for Gayernor of Ohio vated for that bill, and for this Commuittes at Wash- ington to intorposo now, aud represent tho Republican party of the country as. hostile toyplacitig silver on on equal footing as to free coinage with gold, is, to say the Jonst, ao piece of insufferable insolenco and ignorance, If the Republican Committes at Washington is to rnn tho’election in Ohio this fall. on tho issue of hostility totho froo coinago of sil- yor, then Mr, Foster would troat that Com- mittea properly by publicly resenting and repudiating its unwarranted intorference, or ho might ovon moro offectually requke it by refnsing to bo defeated by such a fire in the rear, and resign tho candidacy. ‘hero are not, perlaps, in all Ohio, with its 700,000 voters, 80,000 men of all partios who are not in favor of the freo coinago of tho silvor dollar, and the Committeo nt Washington cannot, by the circulation of tho speeches of any one-horse banker or the agent of the goldites, change that opinion, oven by representing that tho Republican party is also opposed to silver, If tho cam- paign in Ohio ia to be run by these ignoram- uses at Washington, the best thing Mr. Fostre can do is to realgn his candidacy, and Jet the mon who seek his sacrifice in tho ine terest of tho goldites learn how contemptible their policy is in the minds of the poople, CHICAGO AS A PLACE OF SUMMER-RESORT When ‘nz Cr1oaco Tatmoxe twelve years ago pointed out the numerous advantages of Chicago aga placo of summor-resort thora was an attompt to ridionle the clatm and to deny the facts.

There is ou intimation in some of the enable dispatches that a faction among the edhborents of tho Bonarantz party in France talk of taking up the claims of an American gentleman os pretendor to tha Napoleonic succession, ‘Ihe dissatisfaction of the Im- perialiats with tho tostamentary succession “proscribed by tho Inte Princo, and the fact {hattho Amerlean Bowarantz is id a more direct line of succession than any of tho off- epring of Jerzomn Bonarante’s sccond family, furnish tha raison dctre for tho alloged moyvemont, As a matter of fact, howovor, there is probably no more substance to thie project than thero was somo months ago in anabsurd report of a design to make Gon. Gnant King of Bulgaria, Amorica ia not o good soil for raising Princes, and Kings, and Emperors, and it wonld bo a solecism for any people or any faction believing in the kingly form of government to scok o ruler in a country and among a nation that have established the highest und most enduring claims to popular gov- ernment, Tho very same motives which prompted the great Narorcon to annul, so far as his jurisdiction oxtonded, the marriage Lotweon his brother and Miss Parrenson, of | Baltimora, would doter the adherents of the Bowarante family from adopting one of that Indy's descendants ov a protender to the suo- cession. Nor is there any renson to think thnt tho American grandson of Jznowe Bonarants will evor bo deluded with tho notion that ho has claims to an Imperial throne in France, because, aside from Mme, Parrenson-Donavantr, nono of the Amori- ean Lranch of the family, so far as wo know, has ever manifosted any ambition in the Im- perial way, cither directly or collaterally. ‘The absurdity of tho “Divine right" to blood succession to tho rule of nations was never: moro pointedly {Wustrated than it in by this suggestion of an obscure Ameri- ean gentloman 3 the rightfnl ruler of France, Wo know nothing of the personal attainmonts of this gentleman, He may be and probably is an oxcollont porson and roputable citizon.
