Parties indebted to the above firm are requested to cull and settle immediately. ment npon mr con nection with 'onr Oakland fire department, but it remained for last night's meeting, of the Council to develop the coolest specimen of cheek in the way of demand upon the public treasury, that has yet come to light. 'Ve refer to a petition of the lumber yard and gas people on First btreet, asking the city to furnish them some hundreds of feet of hose for their special and regular use! When the little military com-pany asked the city td gS to thousands of dollars expense to fit up the City Hall for its particular use as affairs are ad vanced, we were slightly amazed, bnt when it comes to a corporation, which lit. i i uuivg Jr- wnoie lire gas-light, asking for1-a whole' lire -de partment, with garden "hose thrown, in, we have a right to "ask What next? Perhaps there is a suggestion in this, after all, in view of our everlasting mud dle of a department. We were of the opinion that if the city were to disband the paid organization, and pay the loss by fires out of the treasury, that it would be cheaper for the tax-payers in the end In view of this petition, why not break up the and divide it-round among a few leading individuals and corporations, pay the losses as be fore mentioned? Donate the hose, for instance, to Doc.

Merritt'a lumber yard, and the engines to the Temperance Alliance for the purpose of celebrating Local Option victories. It is a gleam of satisfaction to know that there is a man or two in the Council who can see through the manifold attempts at un blushing and who have the courage to lay the schemes on the shelf onee in a while. The Transcript's account, of the acci dent yesterday near theBerkelexlirry wharf, censures the Ferry Company for me uuu conuiuon oi uie roaa. ine article in question was doubtless written by some frightened student who was aboard at the time of the accident. If any blame should attach to any one, it cer tainly ought to fall upon, the driver of the coach.

The road for several rods near the end of the wharf is newly made, having been tornpiked and graveled and consequently is soft and yielding under the wheels of a heavy Concord coach greatly overloaded. The driver knew the condition of the road and the danger of upsetting a top-heavy coach, and had he excercised ordinary care he would have unloaded while crossing that short piece of dangerous ground Any one who has ever drrvrn 'over a-Tiewly turnpiked road can readily understand how easily an upset might WhenJ the rains have settled and packed the ground, the thoroughfare leading to the Berkeley Ferry wharf jk ill be in good condition, snail expect to see th lranscript apologizing for its unjust criticism to-morrow morning. A A If one man had the managing and directing, as in the case of the corpora tion we mention, taxation would be al most nominal. Aw. The contrary ass across the way thinks we have "too much government," and thinks now that the Central Pacific B.

Xow that. through a Cabinet officer, has hinted that he doesn't intend to be an empire, theJVtfa it on theFsxuae, idiot, and not over-GVKXiatJdril'a Bliaxildera; he Chits enough to But it is well known and generally admitted that the Federal government is a very economical insti tution in comparison with the average State and municipal luxury. ssSasjBBBasiBnBBlBnBHM We are informed most credibly that owing to Mr.

The temperance people'of the interior generally are behaving in a somewhat childish manner over the defeat of. the Local Option law. Charges of corruption against the Judges of the Supreme Court and hysterical "resolutions" certainly not the best means to win con verts to tne temperance cause.

'Tbk Transcript's personal mention man is one of the features of that highly acquainted sheet. He runs with more 'esteemed'" or "distinguished" fellow citizens than any person in town, excepting, perhaps, the Chief of Police. "Our highly respected" John Smith, you know, just returned from Milpitas, and so forth. The Bulletin thinks it will require a century of climatic operations to 'test the change believed to be rapidly going on in this State and elsewhere on the coast. We never knew that old sheet to be so unconsciously radical in statement before.

What is a hundred years' time, anyhow? It takes nearly that long for a man to march from the cradle to the about the only thing he effects, to speak of. The first hard Montanya, our new Chief Engineer of the fire Department should do, is to ascertain how much oil it takes to run the machine how much kerosene, lard and sweet oH, say nothing of other fuel, horse-feed and that sort of thing, for which bills like advertising in the Xeas, are presented to the Council for payment. Mr. Montanya has a rare field for exerting his talent as a local financial statesman, rather than a figure-head talking through a brass trumpet once every six months or so. Mr.

M. has our most profound sympathy. God bless you. The scene in the Council last night over the fire department question, was no aiiogemer witnout point, he remark of Spaulding, in regard to Halley's Internal Revenue trouble, was very timely and more cutting than we supposed the anther xt St would have attempted. In speaking of defalcations, there were people living in the upper circles of Oakland, whose short comings in a financial way were 60 well known and extensive in comparsion with the worst charged against Halley, that the latter was an angel of light alongside.

Mr. H. being a poor man made all the difference in the world. There is no one to toady to him under such Mr. Halley has lost nothing in this last action, in the eyes of those who regard fair play, as jewel.

The capital city of the State has a Presbyterian minister by the name of McKaig on trial for not believing the Adam and Eve snake story. A full grown person," with the least amount of knowledge of the world, who could not swallow that serpent, apple jack and all, is more a subject for' the lunatic asylum than anything Get thee to Stockton, most reverend galloot! Hast never heard of "the great Are you not aware of the great reform under the spotted, striped, scaly serpent called Dolly Tarden And. jet cau't believe that Eve ate thaj little appfe Has the reverend McKaig never heard of Mrs. Fair? It is evident that no amount of church mauling will ever make a reasonable man a strright-jacket should take the place of his go-to-meeting garments. Ths law! Jo compel cHkljenrtoj go to to pnnish parents and guardians for not sending them, is another specimen electioneering buncombe: At least, there seems little or no regard paid to Its enactment.

In Oakland there is not good seating room for all the pnpils that Volunteer attendance at schools, and there may be some excuse for not enforcing the law in regard to the truants. ut that does not make the law a bad one in any case, and we hope to see it enforced here at the earliest moment. If the manufacturing in terests of the State are so limited-that the rising generation cannot be nnght trades, they should not be turned out without something of an education. It were better to have educated hoodlums than mere brute The thorough thrashing over i the jocks of Bernal Hights, which the gym nastic Daiioonaac of Woodward's Gar- dens received last Sunday, will tend to tafce a surplus of conceit out of that man. There has been a balloon mania prevailing over the bay the present vear.

resulting in more or less damage to a number those directive concerned. This is the only interest that has certainly attached to the business tiros far mo oraouii. uuui suiue new principle of jerial navigation is established of more definite usefulness, it would not be a bad idea to abolish these reckless performances. The fact has been dem onstrated that a man can go up a mile or two and hang by his toes, of course, but that the spectacle is one to be encourag ed in presence of ladies who love their lords, there may be grave doubts. It seems but little less barbarous as a public amusement than the old-time horrors of a Eoman holiday; t- 'Th" Organ.
