A M. depot had a narrow escape from destruction by fire last night. At 5:30 last night the fire alarm van Hounded and the fire de partment quickly responded to the call. The cause of the alarm was the H. & M. passenger depot which was on f.rt: The lire caught in the flue near Aent Latham's oflice and al though the firemen battled bravely it wan over an hour before the fire Was put out. The lire burned very slow, but at the 8ame time was making good headway. All records belonging to the of fice were taken out and waved and the only damage done was to the building. The baggage room and Agent Latham's room are com pletely destroyed and if the com pany does not decide to build anew depot, they will at least have to re build the north end which is ho near destroyed that it cannot be re paired. Last r ight only one wire was in working order at the telegraph of fice. This morning men were at work putting the instruments back iu place. The ticket office is not damaged any and Mr. Foster was Helling tickets this morning aa if nothing had happened.

I think the treat mistake made by lire- Biding olli'ers of lxlh sexes is forgetful- ness of the fact that they are not called upon to rule the opinions of t ho, meeting. I have noticed that men as much as women are upt to endeavor to control the action tf tho meetiiiK over which they have lieen called upon to preside, and that is some thing which 1 consider always objection able. It is so very clear a mutter that the chairman is merely the pivot upon which the whole matter turns and not the con trolling K"i'' of the sentiments of the meeting, that 1 am sometimes surprised to ee people arrogato to themselves powers which they do not possess, and which were never Intended to be conferred upon them.

The formal complaint of the Mex ican government with regard to the crossing of bandits into that coun try from the United States deserves prompt and careful attention. It is a notorious fact that the neutrality laws have been repeatedly violated by such persons, and severe sen tences have been inflicted upon some of them by our courts, says the (Jlobe-I)emoerat. The difficulty of preventing offenses of that sort where the conditions are so favor able to the evasion of capture and punishment is manifest; but it is none me less incumbent on our Kovcrniuent to do all it can in that direction. It is impossible to patrol the whole border effectually, but it is not impossible to keep small de tachments of soldiers at important points und within co-operating dis tances. The secretary of war has lately ordered more troops X) the Kio Grande for that purpose, by the way, and it is to be hoped that they will be so located as to provide rea sonable protection against the ille gal operations of the raiders. At the same time, however, this service should be judiciously performed. It is no partof the proper business of our army to do police work for a neighboring nation and help it to settle its domestic troubles. The neutrality laws do not require us to arrest men who are merely sus pected of using our territory as a place for the hatching of conspir acy and tha organisation of revolu tion. Action should be taken only where the evidence of guilt is pos itive and the identity of the accused parties is well established. There is every reason why a con troversy with Mexico upon this or any other subject should be avoid ed. Our relations with that country are now so friendly, and the interestes of the two nations are so much the same, that we can not afford to have the situation disturbed.
