Pendleton was given another object lesson yesterday. Will she profit by it, or .will she wait? Sho has had two in less than two weeks. How many r ore will be required before she will see the point? The destruction of the brewery should have been avoid ed. The spreading of the flames from the paint, shop yesterday was simply a lack of prompt fire service. In the case of the destruction of the brewery It was charged to the loss of the wrenches. Yesterday it was claimed that the delay In getting the water to playing on the fire was on account of a scarcity of nozzles and the rusted fire plugs. What the trouble will be next time will have to be reported after the fire. "Wrenches do not cost much, neither do nozzles, compared with valua ble buildings and the high premiums that will have to be paid for insur ance if there are a few more demon strations of defective fire service. Under present conditions the city is simply taking chances on fires and they are bad elements to take chances on. The history of fires bear out this statement. One may occur In which the city will be completely wiped out Then It will be too late to prepare a better fire service. The two last fires would have done great damage had there been a strong wind blowing, and it looks like simply fine luck that saved the southern portion of the city each time. Wherein lies the fault? It is claim ed that the water pressure is ample. The fault with the fire service of most rmall cities lies In the scarcity of water. With plenty of water it is considered tnat other obstacles are easily overcome. Then if Pendleton has plenty of water the fault lies elsewhere. She is a thriving city with up-to-date business men. They are able to pay for a good fire serv ice. If it is apparatus that is need ed they would not begrudge the taxes necessary to purchase It And if It does not lie here, and is defective in men, then the cltlzons would be will ing to compensate men for the posi tion. - There is no charge made against the firemen of the city for Inefficiency when they once get to a fire. They handlo it with fair promptness, con sidering the defects claimed In wrenches, hose and nozzles. They doubtless earn every cent that Is paid them. They are composed of the best and most interested citizens. Al though every fire of late brings out Btrong words of condemnation of the firemen, yet these remarks are made! by many who doubtless know nothing about the circumstances of the case. It is claimed that the men are only j once, but it could be done by degrees. I Two men could be regularly employ , ed for a starter to act in conjunction with the volunteer department. One I of these men could be on duty in day- j time and the other at night By mak i ing It their duty to keep the apparatus 1 in perfect condition and ready to turn on the alarm at a moment's no tice it would make such a difference in the fire equipment that Pendleton would not begrudge the sum paid them, for it would be money well ex pended. Pendleton has grown too largo for nor present fire service. If she does not improve it she will regret it, nomination," but "If the party should decide that ho is the propor man to hend the ticket ho could not honora bly say 'No.' " In other words "Barkis is wlllin." If In view of the result of the last two Prcsideutial campaigns and of the present condition of the country there is a single state in tho Union with the possible exception of Ne braska which wants Mr. Brynn again to "head the ticket," the Indi cations of that fact are most unac countably missing. Until there Is a sign in some quarter outsldo of Sir. Brynn's hat that a third suicide cam paign Is desirable, the willingness of Barkis may bo classed with those dog-day vagaries that are unimport ant If true. New York World. CUBA'S $35,000,000 LOAN. Cuba would have no difficulty In placing her proposed loan of $35,000- 000 at 5 per cent were It not for the cloud of doubt In which her prosperi ty is shrouded by this country's atti tude toward her. Cuba's actual wealth is ample se curity for the loan, and her yet as un developed resources are a pledge of her ultimate and great prosperity. The real estate ' valuation of tho Island, as stated by Sanger's census of 1SS9, Is $325,000,000, on which mortgages aggregating $250,000,000 are placed. She Is rich in copper and Iron lands waiting to be mined; her fruit growing possibilities are un tapped sources of wealth not easy to calculate; her tobacco product, now limited for lack of capital and because of our 300 per cent tariff against the cheaper grades of It, is capable of immense expansion, and experts agree that her sugar crop, now about 1.200.000 tons a year, could It has been a custom for a lone be doubled If the United States would time for Judges, of courts to suspend I,ft the Dinsley bars enough to per- sentencA nn hnhnnc ,i nii "I,L IL lu ue u""Mieu i,rul MUU wnici iti inn i t 0 m in 1 A . , . . .
