Our spparatus and buildings are valued at $192,000, We have one electric alarm system, with 160 boxes; 179 miles of water pipe and 1,168 hydrants, The difficulty in comparing the statistics of the District with those of any of the states and territories rests in the fact that everywhere else there are from twelve to four hundred places included in a group; and, the greater the number of places, Blightly scfled from handling, sold at 1%. 15 AND 190, Beduosd to FIVE CENTS. ‘THE PALAIS ROYAL. ‘More bargains below. the greater the proportionate supply of de-| Gogg fenses, since each place requires a repetition of @ good deal of the plant and an extra num- ber of men as reserves.

The number of trucks and carriages falls a trifle below Colorado's, owing to the smaller number of piaces to be supplied, and hence the possibility of making a smaller outfit go further. The proportion of firemen to places in the two states is well preserved, Bhode Island, with half the number of plazes reporting, has half as many men in her several companies.

A disparity in some other conditions than those suggested reduces considerably the pro- portionate number of firemen necessary to pro- tect the District.

Mahone with- out materially altering its character. Even the protesting element admitas much as that. They do not pretend to deny that the caucuses throughout the state have left him Practically im the piace of a dictator and that everything now depends on what use he makes of his ex- traordinary power. The effect of this feeling will be to fastev upon him, more than ever be- fore, the responsibility for defeat or the glory of success. The greatest interest felt now is aa to the platform on which Gen. Mahone Pro- poses tochallenge the foeto meethim. He will have bard work in constructing one with & plank not already covere@ by the democrats, either with republican opinions outright or with a neatly-balanced presentation of views which members of either party could support without much loss of prestige. $< The ennual meeting of the American Bar Association at Chicago, during the closing days of the present month, will be made memorable by Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin's address on “The Centenary of Modern Government”—sure to be fall of the most approved mugwump doctrine; by Judge Henry B. Brown's paper on “Judicial Independence,” and by Walter B. Hill's on “The Federal Judicial System.” A notable omission from the published program is that of the customary theses on topics for inter- state legislation, like marriage and divorce, the descent of property, and other similar sub- jects. These are matters which can be far more profitably discussed in a national asso- ciation than in one coniined to single state or section; and they belong to a class which can- not be settled by action too soon.
