MONDAY JANUARY 25 1892.
Brice will hardly lose his senator-
ial seal p this innings. He ought to
but he wont.
Egan will not be recalled until the
difficulty with Chill is settled oneway
or the other.
Thb administration at Washington
la satisfied with Egan. Let the An-
glomaniacs howl.
Dallas council provides for a city
hospital and thus fills a wide gap in
her municipal needs.
Mills ia mad and when the big
Texan ia out of humor be intenda that
the country shall know it.
If San Antonio baa a street clean•
lag department it missed the oppor-
tunity of Its lite last Thursday aud
Friday.
A Nbw York man whose name is
not Grover is coming into favor in
Texas as the democratic candidate
fur president but he has not every
thing his own way.
“Jody” Hayeks ia in hot water in
Bastrop because he supported Mills
for the speakership. What fools we
Bastrop democrats be.
Thirty days from date will see
Uecle Sam preparing to take the in-
itiative against Chili if the honor of
thia nation demands it.
Lincoln gave the tip to the coun-
try not to swap horaes while crossing
a stream. The country remembers
the advice and will act upon it.
There baa not been such activity
manifested in naval circles since the
elose of the war aa is now seen in the
U. S. navy yards at San Francisco
Norfolk and Philadelphia.
Thb democratic leader of the mi-
nority in the Fifcy-flrat congress does
not appear to good advantage as the
discarded of the democratic majority
in the Fifty-second congress.
President Montt does not want
wir but the people of Chili do and
Moatt may have to yield to the popu-
lar clamor in order to retain hia seat.
That country has a mighty uneaty
stomach.
Public sentiment ia stronger than
party feeling aud If It becomes neces-
sary to declare war against Chili par-
ty lines will be obliterated and con-
gress will be a unit In voting the men
and the supplies.
Pressure from the east may be
brought to bear upon the obstreper-
ous republicans In Louisiana and the
division of the party in that state be
healed. In case this is effected a re-
victory In Louisiana is not
as impossible as it looks.
Our New England visitors who
stopped this way last week were
forcibly reminded of their own cli-
mate Id the wintry atmosphere that
surrounded us and did not get so
much sunny south in theirs as they
bargained for when they left home.
THE INDIANAPOLIS HORROR.
That Indianapolis horror is a ter-
rible object lesson aud the wise mu-
ulcipality will be instructed thereby.
It is an object lesson written in fire
and blood in speechless agony and
unavailing cries for help in the
charred remains of a score of hapless
victims and in the burned and man-
gled bodies of other scores to whom
death would be a blessed relief. Its
lessons come with peculiar signifi-
cance to every municipality that has
not provided for the public safety by
rigid regulations requiring ample fire
escapes and life lines on all buildings
in which the public are lodged fed
taught healed or otherwise cared for.
Had the city of Indianapolis pre-
scribed such regulationsand enforced
them she would have escaped the
horror which overwhelmed her in the
burning of the National Surgical In-
stitute on the 22nd. It was gross
negligence if not criminal careless-
ness that left such a building in-
habited as it was by one hundred and
fifty maimed and crippled patients
with their thirty nurses without ade-
quate escape in case of fire.
From the reports that have
come by wire it does not ap
pear that there was any mean of exit
from the upper stories save by the
ordinary stairways. When escape by
these was cut off the entire crowd ot
helpless humans were at the mercy
of the flames. This too in an Institu-
tion in which the care of life was the
express business of its officers and at-
tendants. 11 in such an establish-
ment there was so fatal a neglect of
precaution can more be expected of
those who only provide for the ordi-
nary wants of the public? The lesson*
of this horror are the responsibility of
municipal government for the safe-
ty of the public and the need of such
official supervision of all hotels
schools hospitals theaters etc. as
will insure the means of escape in
case of fire or other pressing necessi-
ty when the ordinary means of exit
are cut off. Io all the eastern cities
this matter is of the first importance
and all buildings of the character re-
ferred to are compelled under heavy
penalties to provide the required facil-
ities tor fire escape. The committee ol
public safety is entrusted with the du-
ty of seeing that the regulations pre-
scribed are faithfully complied with
and there is no hesitancy in enforc
tng the strict letter of the law. The
public enlightened on this subject
and grown accustomed to its benefits
cannot be induced to patronize
hotels schools places of amusement
etc. where these regulations are not
complied with and thus It becomes a
necessity for the management of all
these places to comply with the law.
The western cities are too lax on this
point for the. public safety. Indian-
apolis is paying dearly for her care-
lessness and what is true of that city
today may be true of San Antonio to-
morrow. This state needs a strin-
gent law governing all her cities on
this subject aud every city In the
state should make itself secure by
wise enactments strictly enforced
against any such calamity as this
which has overtaken Indianapolis.
The time to attend to this matter is
before the destruction cometh and
the lessons of this Indianapolis holo-
caust are commended to the legisla-
ture of this state and to the munici
pal council of this city.
The fairness of; Gov. McKinley’s
mind is shown In his declaration that
there must be a free division of the
congressional districts in his state
and no gerrymandering to exclude
democrats. This from the man who
was himself gerrymandered out of
congress by the democrats is one of
the most creditable official declara-
tions of the day. It will forever staud
ae a monument of the fairness of re-
publican methods as contrasted with
those of their democratic opponents.
This beggarly congress will not
permit the government to charter
transports to carry to the starving
Russians the 4000000 pounds of flour
contributed by the charity of the
people and the British ship owners
are taking the matter in hand and
will shame this niggardliness by pro-
viding the transportation denied by
congress. This is democratic econo-
my 1 From it Good Lord deliver us
If Uncle Ham declares war against
Chili he will keep the navy of that
country so busy looking after its own
seacoast that it will have mighty
little leisure for hostile attempts
upon the United States seaports.
The cry is made that there Is no
money in the treasury to carry on a
war with. It is an old mad dog cry
and is worn threadbare. Those who
raise it know that itls false.
There Is about as much love for
Rudinion the part of Crispl as there
Is for Crip on the part of Mills.
The women are petitioning against
war with Chill. The petition comes
from the wroiig quarter. Chill must
do the petitioning iu this case. Petti-
coat petitioning is n. g.
Holman’v sit down on appropria-
tions will come tough on the democrat-
ic members from constituencies that
have federal postofflce buildings m
their eye. Dallas may be among the
unfortunates.
Re
volution cornea easy In a coun-
try where one hundred and sixty
prisoners can overcome their guards
seize two forts and defy the national
authorities within the very shadow of
such a city as Rio Janeiro.
A comparison of the naval strength
of the United States with that of
Chili does not show so much to the
disadvantage of this country as the
croakers would have us believe.
What we lack in armament we would
have to make up in grit and nautical
skill.
Twenty below in St. Louis even if
it was a freak is enough to make one
shiver when the dampness of that
climate Is considered. One can realize
forty degrees below in the Dakotas
easier than twenty in St. Louis. Phil.
Sheridan's Texas is preferable to
that.
Lieut. Winslow who commands
the torpedo boat Cushing does not
think that there will be any war
with Chili but in case of war he
says "We will have no trouble in
squelching that obstreperous repub-
lic for our navy is now in a pretty
good condition.”
What kick is coming to the Mc-
Kinley bill because the duty on tin
plate is doubled? Tin plate is no
dearer than it ever was. The free
trade democracy would rather .'pay a
higher price for a poor foreign article
than a lower price for a good domestic
one. Why is this thus?
The New England democracy are
agitated over this question: In case
Governor Russell of Massachusetts
Is nominated on the national demo-
cratic ticket can the democracy of
the country depend on Massachusetts
following Russell Into the democratic
camp? The Light says not this year
of grace 1892.
Paternal government may be a
fad but when this country secures
postal telegraphy postal telephone
and postal savings banks not omit-
ting a full parcels post the people of
this country will be better served in
the matters of news transmission
cheap delivery of parcels and secure
depositories for savings than they are
today. '
This country has no use for the war
trophies taken from the republic be-
yond the Rio Grande nearly half a
century ago. If Mexico wants those
trophies or if it will add anything
to the amicable feeling existing be-
tween the two republics to return
them without asking this country
hardly could do a more graceful thing
than to return them.
