Two conditions woro favorable; there was no wind and the roof was covered with corrugatod iron, tho latter confining tho firo to the rafters and the roof boards. Tho point of starting was in tho Inside corner next the allcv. and tho flames worked upward along the Inside of the siding to the rafters. Tho starting point was obscure, behind a stock of implements, and the genoral surroundings indicated that the fire was set by an incondiarist. This boliof is further borne out by the fact that it was Sunday evening and no employes had been around the building during tho day or evening. It was lucky, indocd, that the firo was discovered in its incipiency and that the night was calm, olso tho entire plant of buildings, two of which arc In flamable, might havo been burned to the ground, or nt least badly damaged, Mr. IIorBtiey was at church nt the timo, anl when he arrived the flames wore under control by tho department, which had been vory prompt in ita ar rival. Within four months thoro havo been throe fires indicative of incondiarism; is it not timo that our police begin a rigid Investigation. Ono theory advanced for Sunday night's fire is that toughs connected with tho circus set the firo with the expectation of drawing a crowd and then committing houso rob bery while tho occupants wore at the fire. This may, or may not, havo been true. Having safely and unimpaircdly passed the first or lower branch of con gress, tho democratic administration's tariff bill Ih now before tho sonate and tho republican mnmbur of that body are hopping gleefully upon the measure and propose to find fault with it from "agato" to "zinc"-the entire tariir alphabet. Thoy are entitled, of course, to mako their record, Thoir protosts are logical. Their party bolloves in maintalnlg a higher standard of wages for Amorican workingmennnd in estab lishing and maintaining industry in the country by covering, by moans of n duty on foreign made goods, the differ ence in cost of production as between this couiftry and European countries. But it is bo romomberod that tho peo ple in the muin, and many republicans themselves, havo for several yenrs de manded lnvvor tariffs, that becauso of tho high cost of living they temporarily waived tho fealty of tho country to tho protective systom, and that, if it was a mistake, tho people havo tho right to mako it. Anything further, then, thnn n logical maintenance of thoir party's standard by tho republicans would aeom to he quite as uncalled for us futile. Thoy will do bost by merely romaining consistent with their bannor, keeping tho samo unfurled, but lot tho country havo tho test it has demanded and won evon though tho victory was secured only by tho success of somo fornlor re- fmbllcanBloadors in temporarily wrock ng thoir own party. -Grand Island Independent.
