For the sake of humanity and sound religious
teaching it in to be hoped that a melancholy
?tory which conies from Milwaukee in con?
nection with tho burning ot tho Newhall House
ia not true, lt is said that tho proprietor ot the
hotel, a wan of the strictest religious opinions,
kept his women servttnts locked in their rooms
at night, and that owing to this circumstance
they could no* tiacape. Care for the reputation
ot one's employes ia admirable; but what
shall be said of rn seal that goes to such ex*>
tremes la a house so likely to !..? burnell f The
hotel proprietor must have known what a
tinder box he lived in. If the story is true, the
anaauity of Mr. Antisdell since the lire is readily
-explained.
m
Tlie Episcopal Church in this ccuntry. and
.-speeiallj in thia city, has now aii'iiirod such
influence, owing to ita growth and judicious
management, that any movement which i* BUB"
tains has many chances in favoi of being
(tu ried to aVuccessful ending, livery ont*, except,
pei lia ps, the most fervid Prohibition lit, will
be glad, therefore, to lonni that this religious
denomination has become interested in *".*
tcmnticallv pi.nuotiig temperance by tlie fi 1
inritioti ot a Church Ti inpeinnoe Society. A
similar organization in the English branch ol
the Church has accomplished much good. The
motto is "Temperance obligatory; total ab?
stinence discretionary." The character of tho
person-, who have interested themselves in the
movement is nlso a guarantee Unit the wink ir,
tiniiri i.tkcii in earnest.
The fenn in which the Shipping hill has gone
through the House is such that even if it should
finally Income a law it will not materially
affect the ship-building interest of tho
eoiintry.-Three sections, the 18th, 1901 and
20th, have been atiicken out. The gist of
these waa in tho l*th. lt provided that
vessels built here for foreign trade, including
that between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
were to be entitled to ft drawback on all
Ameiican matetiaU used, equal to the duty
which would have been collected if iinpoited
materials had been employed. In opposition
to this provision tho minority of the committee
formulated amendments which provided for
the admission of all shipping materials free
and granted the right to citizens to purchase
ships wherever they could be bought?in other
words, they provided for *? free ships and free
materials." These clauses were tho only ones
over which there was any great difference ol'
opinion, and upon tl em the real importance ol
the hill hung. They ware opposed 1)3 the ad?
vocates ol iree ships, as well as the oppor.ents
of subsidies. Tue discussions in the House
were lively and have made it clear that the
meniheiB themselves were hardly certain what
it. would be best to do. They first adopted the
free ships amendment by a vote of 134 to 86 ;
then they ?truck out everything that related to
the matter by a vote of 159 to 54. Extreme
advocates on both sides will be greatly dissat?
isfied with this result, and to an impirtial
observer it will perhaps seem that the House
has wasted a good deal of its valuable time in
fruitless ili*t in.si.in.
NOT A LARGE MATTIE.
More impoitancu has been given by some cor?
respondents to the action of the Senate on tho
Turill bill t! un the change itself seems to war?
rant. Those who are eager to defeat action on
the tariff by any device, not uunatur.illy have
Belled the opportunity to make the vote of the
Senate seem as important and as objectionable
to the friends ol' Protection as possible. Hut it
can hardly lie considered of vital consequence.
The Senate had under consideration a clause
that puts duties upon non-enumerated articles
of like kind or use to those enumerated and
upou which duties are specifically fixed, in tho
claiiso as reoorted by the Tariff Commission, it
was provided thut tho unenumerated articles
should pay the duties fixed for those nearest
like them ?* in material, quality, texture or use,"
and where a non-enumerated nrtide " equally
resembles two or more enumerated articles on
which different rates aro chargeable,"' there
shall lie levied tho duty chargeable on the sim?
ilar article paying the highest rate. The Sen?
ate, by a partisan vote, changed the word
" highest'' to u lowest" in the last clause. The
practical effect is that in the comparatively few
cases in which an unenumerated article equally
resembles two or moro others, it shall be ad?
mitted at the duty levied on tho lowest of them.
This is not a change that affects any important
articles. Everything that is important enough to
have attracted the notice of the Commission, of
the Committee ol' Ways and Means in the
House, or of the Committee on Financo in the
Senate, ought to have been provided for at
some definite rate of duty, and doubtless has
been so provided for in tho bills submitted.
But ol' the vast number of unimportant articles
not enumerated, by far the greater number so
closely resemble, uin material, quality, texture
or use," 6omo other a/tide enumerated, that
there can be no question as to the duty, and the
clause in dispute has no application. It applies
only where the unimportant and unenumerated
ai tide happens to so closely resemble two other
articles of different duties that the examiner
cannot say which of the two it moro nearly re?
sembles. But such instances, every person of
common sense must realize, aio very few in?
deed. Yet thc clause about which so much
fuss is made applies to no other articles what?
ever, if au examiner cnn tied that an imported
article not enumerated resembles, tither in
material, quality, texture or use, a certain
article enumerated in the tariff moro ncai li?
llian any other enumerated, his duty is clear,
and the law leaves no room for doubt.
It has been said that the nit ides not
enumerated are very im poi taut in amount.
That may well be. But the articles which
" equally ** resemble in all respects named
two or moro other articles are exceed?
ingly few, and in value exceedingly insig?
nificant. Indeed, one can hardly Btippose
that the Senate has been working itself up
to a state of excitement about matters so insig
nilicant, unless it be in a complete misunder?
standing of the clause in question; for in?
stance, some Siiator may ha\e supposed that
the clause applied to all unenumerated articles,
whereas lt applies only to these which equally
resemble two others already enumerated.
The present tai iff does not follow the rule
proposed by the Commission, but neither does it
consistently follow any rule. In tho cuse of
cotton goods, for example, the present duties on
articles not enumerated _?35 percent; while the
proponed tariff would hare made the duty as
much as 46 per cent on those few articles which,
appearing to contain just as large a proportion
of cotton as some others enumerated, and bring
just the same in quality, and just the MMM in
te.turo, and just the same in use, munt be
classed with the highest rathei than the lowest
of them. The amendment clns*!ityiu_ these
few articles with the lowest rather than the
highest grade of the two which they so sin
gulaily resemble etinnot apply to any consider?
able quantity of goods. But it dors not apply at
all to any others, which are covered by other
provisions cf tlie present and by like provisions
of the proposed tm ill.
It is safe to assume,'then, that the question
upon which the Senate divided so closely on
Thursday is of exceedingly little importance.
The right of the matter, it should be added,
is clearly with the Commission, which proposed
the highest late where there was no ground for
detei mining to which of two classes an unenum?
erated article most properly belonged. The
reason is that some frauds have lieen success?
fully accomplished, and many costly disputes
have arisen, where unenumerated articles were
intentionally made to resemble several others
so closely that a claim for admission at the
lower rate ot duty could be plausibly set up.
The Cir:,mission rejioited that such cnufusiou
find controversy would be in great part avoided
if the feu. articles that competent inspectors
could not pi opeiiy classify ahould lie required
to pay a higher rather than a lower duty be?
cause ol such uncertainty. It would then no
longer be to thc interest of foieign malcerior
importers to produce that confusion. The l!e
ptililtc.in Sen (tors wire quite clearly lipid in
Mist lining the Cominiv-ioii. But Hu* who!''

THE NRrT-YORR lion i.s.
It may readily be conceded Hitit such a catas?
trophe as that Milich hus overwhelmed Mil?
waukee with indignation and grief cannot
oca ur in this city. There is not ft singleTaw
hotel hen* which heirs so unenviable a reputa?
tion as the Newhall House lins had for many
yeais. Not only had all well-informed insur?
ance companies declined risks upon that hotel,
but its dangerous condition wan a mutter of
com mon notoriety. Travellers have warned
one another not tn remain over night under its
roof, and for years prudent residents of Mil?
waukee have been in the habit of advising their
acquaintances to go to a safer hotel. Inflam?
mable as tinder, ll it was admitted to be on all
sides, it was mo?t inadequately protected from
the outbreak of fire. The only night-watchman
employed in tho building was the mun in
charge of the elevator, and he could have had
little leisure for inspecting the hails and base?
ment. He did not know that the building was
on fire until tho smok* poured into the elevator
car in which he was descending from the
sixth floor, aud there were only two men, the
engineer and the night clerk, whom he could
sumrnou to bia aid at a moment's notice. So
unprepared was this small loree for the emer?
gency tha* the fire-bell in the inner court does
uot appear t-o have oceii rung, ami only a small
number of guests on a simile floor were warned
of their danger. It is almost needless to add
that in respect to the prevention of firej?, pre?
cautions are not neglected in New York kotcll
as they were in the Newhall House. In the
great hotels there is I watchman on every floor,
and in om* of the largest houses is a night force
of twenty mei, amply siipplird with appliances
for extinguishing Humes and irgiilurly drilled
iu the performance of their duties. Hotel pro?
prietors have materially reduced the risks of
lire by instituting an adequate system of super?
vision, especially during thc night hours, and to
their vigilance is to be ascribed not only their
remarkable exemption fi..ni loMM during re?
cent jears, but the lower rates of insurance
which are now granted to them.
The New-York bod II are not to be placed on
a level with the Newhall House. They are not
ho faulty lu construction and are more
vigilantly watched and protected. But are
they reasonably safe 1 On this point the asser?
tions of the hotel proprietors as a class must, be
discaided and an'appeal be taken to a more trust?
worthy tribunal. Inspector F.sforhrook, who
has never undertaken n systematic inspection of
the hotels, speaks cautiously on thii subject,
but evidently is not satisfied with their con?
dition. He admits that many changes, which
he has not the power under the pieseut law to
older, are needed in some of tho large hotels,
aud is anxious to have a thorough inspection
made of this driss of property. In insurance
circles there seems to be only one (minion,
namely, that the rates for which risks aro now
granted on New-York hotels ate altogether too
low. It is conceded that dining the last eight
vears there hos been a inarkid improvement
in the supervision of hotels, especially nt night,
and that many minor sources of dinger, such
as swinging gas brackets and laundry and
kitchen arrangements, have been removed ; but
few if any well-informed insurance mon are
ready to admit thai the hotels of this city an*
as safe as they ought to bein order to be secured
against the risks of fire nt the present rates.
There is a general impression in insurance
offices that another investigation similar to
that ordered in 1875 would disclose many ex?
isting sources of danger in quarters where
they are least susnected and enable the com?
panies to reach a frustwerthy standard for
rating hotels. The talks which Tkiiilxk re?
porters have had with influential and ex?
perienced insurance olhceis reveal clearly thc
prevailing sentiment on this subject.
Inasmuch as Inspector. E-tcrbrook ls over?
whelmed with work In his department, he
would welcome any organized action on (In?
part of the Fire Underwriters which would re?
lieve him, temporarily at least, from the neces?
sity of inspecting the hotels. Can the New-Yoik
Board do a wiser thing than lo repeat the ex?
periment which was attended with such ex?
cellent results in 1875 I The losses which have
been experienced during the last year?with
the exception of the years of tho Chicago and
Bolton tires tho most calamitous year in
twenty-live for the companies? nave had a
sobering eli'ect upou insurance managed*. Is it
not a convenient season for revising the pres?
ent schedules of rating buildings of all classes,
and of establishing standards whore none are
now'recoguizod 7 Here is a class of property in
which the public is vitally interested. If lt be
rated too low, as insurance men openly charge,
it must be because it is not so safe as it ought
to be. A thorough inspection of hotels under
the diieetion ol the Committee of Kates and
Surveys would be au unmixed good.
NIPPED IN THE BUD.
This appears to Ik* an unhealthy season for
Democratic. Presidential candidate,,. Of the
promising lot who took the field with so much
spirit alter the November elections not one re?
mains in first-rate condition to-day. Tlie two
foremost ones, Governors Cleveland and lintier,
ure the most seriously damaged. Mr. Cleve?
land's progress backward began the moment he
opened his mouth. So long as he was content
to took wise and say nothing he was all right.
That was his best hold, and if he could have
confined himself to it for a year or so he was
morally cettain of a nomination. Bul that wa*,
not possible. A Governor must write a mes?
sage or get some one to write it foi him. Gov?
ernor Cleveland wi ute his own, and however
he may feel about it, his friends are visibly
depressed. The efi'ect of that document upon
the Democratic press of this State was a good
deal like that produced upon the Democratic
press of tho country by General Hancock's
letter of acceptance, lt produced a great
calm. This calm has since been broken by
audible murmurs of disappointment and by
such unpleasant observations as: ** Fooled
ag lin!" "Wa thought wo had | statesman
this time.'' No boom can make progress In un
atmosphere, uf this kind. Governor Cleveland
may retrieve his waning fortunes before 1 ssl
arrives, bat in ordw to do it he must lay in a
stock cf less obvious platitudes than those he
has bMM using so freely.
Governor Butler's luck has lieen equally bad.
though due to widdy dills -rent causes. There
has been nothing platitudnioua in his utter?
ances, whatever else may l?e said of them. Tin
tioublo with iiim is .in inordinate and irrepres?
sible fondness for throwing blicks. Occupa?
tion of that sort is amusing, but there is no
Presidential capital in it. Mutlor's chief polit?
ical doctrine is that everything and everybody
eminently respectable ought to Imi attacked.
A large majority of the voters of this country
do iel n.rco with him. and the morl brick* ha
throws the more dinnies ba mehi**. Ile si ai

inst and always Batter, ami his recent ulter
iittcc. have rained hi** prospects by showing
that his case ii incurable.
If Messrs. Cleveland and Butler have hcen
disabled, what shall be said of tlie other candi?
dates! The current news from Indiana con
veys the Information thal Messrs. Hendricks
and McDonald are both running furiously in
that State, but there is no tiace if interest in
them anywhere, else. Mr. Hendricks has re?
covered from his stue toe and is out again, but
that is a very dillerent thing from saying lu is
in the race again. Ile was distanced long ago
and has only encitgh strength left to defeat
McDonald's aspirations by dividing the party in
Indiana Both men ore firing away ni the new
Civil .Service Reform law, and are rivalling
each other in expressions of devotion for the
grand old Democratic doctrine i * To the victors
belong tho spoils.'' There is no evidence that
even this bold declaration of a loved principle
awakens a sympathetic throb in tho Democratic
bosom. The case of the one remaining candi?
date, Senator Pendleton, is scarcely more en?
couraging. His parly is earning hun with en?
thusiastic unanimity fiom one end of the
country to the other for his Civil Bel vice Be?
lora hill. Even in his own State Legislature
I ii -solution of thaiiKs to him for that bill re?
ceives only Kepubiican vo'es, the Democrats
either openly opposing or refusing to vote.
All the November candidates are, thlTlfote,
virtually out of the field. A new lot will soon
put in an appearance nnU-ss all the aspirants
fake warning Irom the fate of tbeee unl'or
tunnies am! avoid {lie fatal mistake, of getting
into the field too early.
A GOOD HABIT TO ABANDON:
The Legislature is not beginning well. Yes?
terday, after a short and unimportant session in
both Bonana, an adjournment was taken until
Monday evening. In tue Senate tbe absenti es
were so many during the morning that the
cider of third reading of bilis na-1 to bodia
puned with, the number of votes reqnired by
the Constitution to pan a bill not being forth?
coming.
Until tho nnbmdnm Ilka and indefensible
habit of adjoin ning every week is abandoned it
is idle to expect reasonably short sessions. A
Legislature that leases tho Capitol Friday
noon not to icasseuible until Monday evening
necessarily requires a gieat deal of time to ac?
complish a comparatively Maali ap'ount of
work. Under the present order ot things the
members lose ihrre days out ol every aOTen so
faraswoik in the committee rooms is con?
cerned. Tho Committee, meet Tuesday, Wed?
nesday and Thanda*/ ; they take a vacation
Friday, Saturday aud Monday. What wonder,
therefoK", that each annual session ends with
scores of bills unacted upon, that a u grinding "
committee?that is, a com nittee dial ged with
Hie duty of giinding out bills independently of
the Committal of the Whole?ban COOM tu bl
regarded as a necessity, or that scores of bills
are read a third time uni poised that have
never been "scrutinized by any person except
those who drafted them 1
Much of the legislation of last winter was so
lOisty and ill considered that tho public indig?
nation become fairly aroused. The Canal
Amendments, to refer to ono instance out of
many that might lie recalled, were paused in so
bungling a shape as weil nigh to endanger their
success at the Nt vetnber election. Bat'when
one reflects upon tue comparatively small por?
tion of each .week the members devote to the
serious business of legislation, the wonder is
Hint costly errors are not more common.
We submit to tho present Legislature that
reform is loudly called for in this particular and
that this session is a good time to inaugurate it.
Let the weekly adjournment either be entirely
(lisper sed .vith or let it be shortened. We can
?careel*/ believe that the average Hvnator or
Assemblyman would lind his public duties too
I'xliaiit-tntg if the adjournment which now
takes place Friday noon was postponed until
Saturduy. The abridgement would secure
another day's session of thc two Houses and of
tiie committee!, and still nfibrd tin* un rn oe is
time to reach their homes before Sunday. There
is a growing public feeling in favor ot short
sessions. It is a feeling that ought to be re?
spected by all representatives who aro beni
upon faithful representation.
CAN TUE LEOPARD CHANGE ITS SPOTS.
As the prospect of securing the ?* spoils of
office " faded from the Democratic view, owing
to the popular expression In lssO of a contin
ned waut of confidence in the purposes of that
organization, its leaders developed a remark?
able though unnatural yearning for Civil Ser?
vice Reform. Senator Pendleton wab ths
apostle in Congress of this happy thought un
the part ot the Democracy, lie introduced a
rigorous bill ou the subject, and in a speech
?ipiculed to bis party u to convince the people
? that we contend for power, not thal we may
"enjoy the emoluments of office, but that we
" mav lead the countiy in the pathways of ad?
vancement and beneficence. Patronage is a
ucu.?e to any man or party. Let us put it be
u hind us now. " Acting on the principle that
there was nothing to lose while thero might be
something poland in an attempt to deceive th*
public in this way for a time, Civil Service
Betom was made one of the battle dies of the
party iu the late canvass, especially in tlioie
.-tates, like New-York aud Pen nsy I van ia.
where it was in a minority. Its candi.lutes for
dalco In this State, from Grover Cleveland
down te Patrick Keenan, stood on platform!
demanding tbat particular reform. Their aD
_wers to tho qoiotloni of tho Civil Service Pe
fmm Association expressed even more radical
yi*".vB cn the subject than those held by the
ofneers of the Association. That no mistuks
raitfLt bo made in his case by tlie voters, (Jiovea
Cleveland anuonnced that he fully approved
the provisions of the Peudleton bill on the suh
j*vr. In short, the overpowering desire of ths
Democratic heart for a reform in the Civil Her*
rice broke out all over and in tho most uuex
pscted place*, during the canvass, even Tam?
many Hull and the Ccuuty Democracy declar?
ing in favor of it.
No doubt Nicholas Muller and some other
DeO-OOTnttO statesmen who will .represent, thl
-Halls " of this city iu the halls of the rieit Cen
gresaara restless because they mav have no op?
portunity to display their groat coal (u behalf of
this reform until Conjcre-a meets in December
of this year, however io;lunate, it may be for
the country. Rut no such restraints rest upon
the part, as a whole. It now has control of tbe
Tty government, aud i, in full power at
Albany. Hence, if there is any faith to ba
put in Democratic promises, wa shall not
bum long lo wait te Mat Civil Sci vice Reform
enforced ia this .State In I manner that will de
light its warmest advocates. It may be that
A.->enib!vmeu Sniuola and "Tim" Camp?

fortunately for his party he w is d;-frat ed. Bil
plore is liiled, however, by ?Tom" Carroll,
one of tba "four Jud.wes" who betrajod John
Kelty in 1880, while "Mike" Duffy aad other
equilly illiintiious apostles ol' Democratic Civil

The Pendleton bill provides that whenever a
DOW appointment OF promotion in the subordi?
nate Ci i il Seivico is to be made, that poison
shall be chosen to lill it on probation u who is
best Cited as ascertained by open, fair, honest,
Impartial competitive examination." This is io
npplj te subordinate oilicials, clerical and ad?
ministrative, whose duties ULiler every Adniiu
istiation would bo the same. That bill is tbs
standard authority which Grover Cleveland
and the Democratic party have set np for them?
selves In this State. Tho subordinate officials
in tho Public Works and other dejiartmeiits of
Hie State Government are admitted to be com?
petent, trUatWOrthy and experienced, and ol
course they will not be disunited, unless to t?e
promoted, during Mr. Cleveland's term of
office. Thii amy diiappoint 25.000, more or
