The deplorable disaster In Now York
City "Wednesday , Involving the death
of at least eight persons , who were
CHImlit under the fulling walls of a new
building fniilt'ly oiiHlriirtcd , Is the woist
rnlainlly of this kind since the collapse
n ( Hit- Ford theater , now n year and a
half ago. The awful results of criminal
negligence in this case xvlll raise n cry
for the prompt pru > ectitlon of tlie par
lies immediately concerned. It la re
ported that the owner of the demolished
structure .has tilready been placed under
arrest , while the pulleo nre on tlie alert
for the contractor , but at last accounts
hail not succeeded In Hud ing him. If
he Is npptehendcd ho will probably be
arraigned foMrlnl , secure a continuance
nnd bide his time until public sentiment
blow * over. I'nless lie Is brought
up for trial without delay the punish
ment wlilch may bo meted out to him
after public Interest lias died out
will have but a small part of the salu
tary effect to be desired as an example
for other builders ,
The trouble seems to be that the en
forcement of the building regulations
adopted In our larger cities operates by
Ills and starts. Only nt periods after
such disaster as this that has just
occurred In Xew York do the building
Inspectors Insist upon a rigid conform-
niuv with the law. At other times they
aie too apt to overlook defects , confi
dent that Ihey will never lie discovered.
If the I.exow cnmmitlct ! should extend
Ils Inquiry into the workings of the
building insncctnr's department In New
York City we have no doubt that it
would llnd It honeycombed with cor
ruption , the bars let down lo favorite
contractors who make It right with
the Tammany olliclaK In other cllles
It lias probably not gone quite so far as
this , but exceptions nre made In ( he
enforcement of the regulations cither as
pi't-Miiial favors or for political influence.
The olllclais who do this do not realize
the responsibility resting upon them.
In tlie present instance , If the fallen
building was erected In violation of the
law. the responsibility rests ns much
with the architect , tlie city olllclal who
approved the plans and tlie inspector
who should have seen that 1lnork
was properly performed as upon the
contractor nnd tlie owner. An elllclent
municipal government would have
saved the innocent lives that were sac-
I'lllced ' 011 account of the criminal cou-
sti'tietion of this building.
Y O.V ' 111K JSSVKS.
It Is believed that Vice President Ste
venson 1ms an ambition to be president ,
and he may entertain the hope , in view
of the poverty of his patry hi available
ptesldontial material , of being the demo
cratic candidate for president two years
hence. This gives to the utterances of
Mr. Stevenson greater Interest than they
would otherwise possess , for an impar
tial estimate of his ability would not
place him in the front rank of contem
porary public men. On Wednesday he
delivered a speech at Lincoln , III. , and
although It had been well advertised
there was a small attendance , a fact
strongly Indicating that the democrats
( if Illinois are no moio zealous and en
thusiastic than those of other slates.
Mr. Stevenson begun his speech by
observing that at the close of President
Cleveland's first term business condi
tions were favorable , the country pros
perous , nnd the annual revenues largely
in excess of expenditures , and all tills ,
lie declared , was the result "of the able
and economical policy and methods of
President Cleveland nnd his political
associate * in cabinet and in
congress. " Now It Is lo bo pre
sumed that every Intelligent man
knows that the first administration of.
Mr. Cleveland was conducted under
laws passed by republican congresses
and that it was in pursuance of these
laws that the conditions described by
Mr. Stevenson as existing at the close
of that administration wore realized.
The revenue policy nnd the financial
policy of tlie country were what the
republican party lind created , and the
country had been prosperous and pro
gressive under tholr operation before
Mr. Cleveland became president. II Is
ridiculous , therefore , .to give ills admin
istration the credit for results it had
nothing whatever to do with producing ,
except in executing the laws as It found
them. Much stress Is laid by democrats
upon the fact that there was a large
surplus lu the treasury at the close of
Hie first Cleveland administration. It
was tlio plan of that administration to
accumulate a surplus for political effect.
In older to do this it paid off no more
of the public debt than It wns compelled
by law and circumstance.1 ? to pay off ,
although it Imd ample authority to use
every dollar of the surplus for this pur.
pose.
pose.Mr.
Mr. Stevenson contrasted the condi
tions nt the close of the first Cleveland
administration with the situation at the
end ot the Harrison administration ,
when , lie snid , business was paralyzed ,
tlie workshops were closed , the great
army of wage earners In enforced Idle ,
ness , and poverly und rtant the common
lot , this being "the actual condition
while the Mc-Klnley law wns still in
force and before an arm had been lifted
by the democratic congress to change
tlie existing law. " Hut a democratic
president and congress had been elected
on n platform which denounced the pro
tective policy ns n fraud nnd robbery
and declared it ta be unconstitutional ,
The democratic party was pledged to
.overthrow that policy , nnd It came Into
jiower declaring that thu pledges would
bo redefined. What different result
titan \vas realized could have been ex
pected from Mich u threat ? So warned
was It not natural that the Industries of
tlie country should prepare for tlio blow
they were nsstned would be ndminis
tered ? The years 1801 and 185)2 ) were
the most prosperous in the history of
tlio country. Both our foreign com
nierce and our domestic commerce were
greatly increased , thcro was extra or
dliiary Indnsttlnl development , nnd the
lalKir of tlie country wns well employed ,
Tlie policy of protection had never re
celved n more complete and conclusive
vindication. But distrust uud depression.
came with tlie knowledge tlmt the demo
cratic party WIIH to succeed to the con
trol of Iho government pledged to tent
down tlu defenses which tlio rppubHcnii
liarty Imd erccletl for tlio protection ot
American Industries und Ainorlcnn
lalM > r. lint for thin tlicrc cannot bo n
reasonable dotibl tlmt we should Imvo
Imd no panic and tliat tlio country
would be us prosperous now ns It WUM
la IS'.li' bcfoie tlio people made tlio dis
astrous mistake of electing tlitdomoc -
nicy to power.
Mr. Stevenson WIH In favor of the
house liirlfT lilll. lie believes In free
raw materials. Conseiiuently lie In with
: he other democratic lenders In demand-
11 ? Hint ( ho war upon protection shall
go on , "From the hill of vantage wo
now occupy , " said Mr. Stevenson , "our
yes can look out upon the pathway Hint
ends to commercial emancipation. "
Democratic success In November will
mean n'recurrence of distrust and de
pression , iu > rliiiH | more serloiw than tlio
onntry lias experienced during tlio past
vear and a hull' .
'U'H\ IM.M'.U , ) . ,
The people of ( iintiba have lent tied by
bitter experience never to bo surprised
tt anything whleli Isaac S. llnscall may
do. The fact that tlio man who forever
over two years has been posing as an
iposlle of populism , who was elected to
Ids preM'iit place In the city council on
the populist ticket , who only a year ago
was parading the streets begging for
votes as the populist candidate for
mayor , now has the bra/en audacity to
, isk the republicans of the First ward
to nominate lilm as their party candl-
late for the council , merely shows the.
uiisiTiipulnus ehariieler of the man. Tlio
wonder only Is that he should bo able
to tlrd In the First wnrtl enough sj-rnl c I
republicans to sign the petition asking
that his name be placed on the ballots
U the republican primary and that the
city republican committee should ac
cept snclj a petition.
Isaac S. ITascall Is by nil odds tlio
most dangerous man who has ever held
a place In the city council. Ills en
trance Into that body has always been
the forerunner of turmoil , lawlessness
und corruption. Not to go further back
than his last term , Ilaseall lias beeu at
the bottom , as one oi the prime movers ,
of every Job and stoul that lias appeared
in that body. He was one of the In
stigators of the notorious pit-base deal ,
lie was the champion of the fifty-year
pis franchise ordinance. He has been
the chief fugler of tlie Wiley electric
lighting comlilne. He has promoted
every doubtful claim against tlio city
treasury. He lias dotted the law and
overridden the charter at every possible
opportunity. And to cap the climax of
his infamous career , It was Hawaii \ylio
for months peddled among the other
councllmen the paper which ho had
already signed preferring charges of itn-
peaclnncut against Mayor Bcmls , which ,
after thorough Investigation by the court ,
were declared to bo absolutely without
foundation , if not malicious. To cou-
thum such n man In the city council
would mean Ho encourage every species
of Jobbery and corruption mid to add
a blazing torch to the smoldering flro
brands.
The situation In the First vr 3 , de
mands the attention of every reputable
republican. Karlier In the campaign ,
there were four or five men who were
actively exerting themselves for the re
publican connclliuunlc nomination. Not
withstanding that it was his vote which
organized the present council under
democratic olllcers , Hascall has more
recently been trading everything- his
command for promises of support at the
republican primaries today. As a
result all the original candidates but
one Imvo been either cajoled , threatened ,
bought off or otherwise Induced to aban
don tlio field , so that but two names
will appear on the primary ballots , one
of them being that of Hascall. The
municipal league , which was organized
In the interest of better city govern
ment , finds Itself In the predicament of
having endorsed for the suffrages of Its
republican members a man who is not
even to be voted for. There Is only
one tiling for the intelligent republicans
of the First ward to do. Every one of
them should attend the primaries to-
today and turn lias-call down.
CI/STO.W * nIt /
It Is reported from Washington that
the condition of tlio treasury Is again
becoming , serious. The expected rush of
Imported goods under the new tariff Is
not being realized , and It Is said that
the receipts for October nt the present
rate will rim about $9,000,000 short of
expenditures. Meanwhile the rising rate
of foreign exchange creates apprehen
sion of "further gold exports. At the
close of last week the treasury gold re
serve , In spite , of careful nursing , had
reached only a little over $00,000,000 ,
and very little gold Is going Into the
treasury for duties. Not only are the
receipts from customs light , averaging
thus , far In the current month less than
$500,000 a day , but the Income from In
ternal revenue Is also small. So far as
the latter Is concerned the falling off Is
easily explained. The large amount of
spirits withdrawn from bond Iwfore the
Increased tax wont Into effect cut off
receipts for a time from that source ,
wlille the business of the country has
not improved to an extent to materially
Increase receipt * from other sources
of Internal revenue. Hut it is
not so easy to explain the light receipts
from customs. It seemed to be an en
tlrely reasonable , expectation before the
new tariff act went Into effect that im
portations under It nt first would bo on a
very largo scale , It was understood
that the bonded wan-houses were filled
with goods awaiting the enactment of
the now law to be placed on the market ,
and It wns supposed that foreign manu
facturers were prepared to flood us
with tholr piodnctK 11 s BOOU as they
could avail themselves of the moro fa
vorable conditions of the now law. The
only plausible reason that suggests Itself
why this has not beiui realized is thai
Importers and foreign manufacturers
are waiting for moro general recovery
of prosperity hi thu United States. An-
other consiacufftlon iny lie that ns
rices hare , alr.epdy been reduced to a
lolnt whlclli fosvrs scarcely any profit
for tin- mart fji turcrs It would be mi-
vise to force ( morn .goods upon the mar
cel with theU-erlaln effect ot still fur-
her di'pressiutjj'ji'rleefl.
Hut whnloroT' the true explanation
nny be the fact-is that the treasury cal
culations are not being fulfilled and the
situation Is gVoVlng serious. It is said
hat the gelll/ity / treasury balance ls ,
urge enottgli/fo'fltand a monthly lo < of
58,000,000 -flO.'XHXOOO for two or three
mmths to t'onlc , but If such a loss
should be accompanied by gold exports
Irnwn from the treasury by the presen-
atlon of legal tender notes for rcdemp-
Ion prompt action to protect the public
redlt might become necessary. Such a
'ontlngency Is to be apprehended , nnd
congress at the coming session should
nko early action lu providing a way to
safeguard the treasury against the dan
ger of such a possible demand upon Its
nadeqnate gold reserve. The secretary
if the treasury has authority to make
mother Ismie of bonds , but he will avoid
lolng this as long as possible , nnd It
night to be practicable to prevent any
urther increase of the public debt.
Jemoeratlc revenue legislation has thus
far accomplished nothing to the advnn-
age of either the government or the
teople.
lion , Lev ! P. Morton's acceptance of
he nomination for governor of New
York Is characteristic of the man. It
s temperate and earnest In tone , with
lone of the bluster ami swagger of the
tolltlcian , lie talks as one who realizes
lie responsibility he assumes , and bo
addresses himself to the Intelligence of
be voters rather than to the spirit of
tiirtlsiinlsm. Mr. Morton is not con
sumed with political ambition. He has
leen greatly honored by his party and
le accepts the leadership In the Umpire
stale to which he has been called not
is a stepping stone to something higher ,
nit with the single desire of being able
o do something for the benefit of the

tubllcnn principles. The present Indi
cations seem to assure his election. The

They realize their opportunity and ap-

hem will hot support the regular can-
lldate for governor.- Hill Is a shrewd

arefully estimated his chances , but he

der In one Issue a greater service for a

tinually contributing to the success of
Its favored ticket. Hut reputable news
papers subsist upon the sale of adver
tising space , which Is worth money ,
every Inch of it. Is there any reason In
the world why a campaign committee
should not pay for whatever space It
hires to properly advertise a political
event ? If so , what Is It ?
The republican committee is making a
canvass of Omaha to ascertain the drift
of sentiment concerning Majors' candi
dacy for governor. At last accounts
the canvassers were getting such senti
ment good and hard , but it Is not rel
ished at headquarter * . It Is a llttlo bit
strange , however , that the committee
sees fit to Ignore the balance of the
state ticket In feeling the pulse of
Omaha voters. Is the whole energy of
the machine to bo put forth in saving
Majors' scalp to the utter disregard of
claims of the balance of the ticket ?
It looks that way.
The Western Art association has got

people , that does credit to the city and
that deserves appreciative recognition

Grand Island Independent : Tlie railroad
gangs of Lincoln ami Omaha are making
much ado about the "credit ot the state" npd
are exerting c\err effort to make the people
believe that by the election of Uolcomb and
the defeat of the IlurlhiRton pot , eastern
money would -withdraw and loans will bo
difficult and scarce. The railroad managers
to whom the "credit of the state" Is a most
holy thing , started the cry , and as an evidence
of how many lines the railroad managers Imvo
In the fish pond , It need only to be mentioned
that ihe-y have even forced a number of busi
ness men of Omaha to come out with the
scarecrow In an attempt to frighten citizens
Into voting for a man nlth an unclean record.
If the "credit of the state" Is to be main
tained , can a. man conscientiously vote for n
tool who has nlio\vn \ himself to be most pliant
to the demands of a corporation which Is
day after day virtually robbing Its people ?
Can a man conscientiously vote for ono whoso
record as a legislator Is reflected only In the
passage of a bill to permit counties and
townships to repudiate their debts ? Can a
voter cast his ballot for a man who has been
recommended by a congressional committee
to the criminal courts ? Can a citizen ex
press his choice for a man whose prospects
for election are to be enhanced by the coer
cion , through threats of the sheriff nnd fore
closure , of American citizens to vote for him ,
tn order that his political backers may con
tinue to rob the state through abnormally
high railroad rates. Urcat credit that would

In that manner
Tecutnseh Jouitml : During the past few
days wo have heard men talking against the
election of Holcomb because It might Injure
the credit of the state , when these same men
do not own a , dollar's worth of property or

that these parlies nre supporting Majors for

but to secure a railroad pass.
