not to lose sight of this fact unless they are
prepared to see the weight of public opinion
enlisted on the side of their antagonists An
appeal to force inevitably brings into the field
against them the military force of the State,
backed by the moral support of the order low
ing portion of the community. Against such
odds no class combination could hope for even
the shortest temporary success; therefore it
argues want of common sense for a body of
men to invite inevitable defeat by pursuing
course which places them in antagonism with
the public opinion of the whole country. In
view of the doubtful success attending those
constantly recurring struggles against capital,
it might be well to have trades convention,
with the object of creating some court of arbi-
tration which would have right to exhaust all
reasonable means of solving difficulties before
having recourse to the desperate remedy Of
tie strike.

SENATOR SHERMAN ON THE CRISIS. Mr..
Sherman, Chairman on Finance in the United
States Senate, Is an able man, and the other
day, as such things go, he made an able stump
speech in support of General Grants admin
istration. But he does not appear to admire
the new democratic platform He says that
''these sentiments (the Cincinnati resolutions
adopted at Baltimore) read like the penitential
sigh of dying suicide" and asks why these
glorious resolves were not made by the demo-
cratic party one, two, or ten years agop We
can answer him. 1t is because the democrats
were not convinced until within year or so
of the error of their old ways. Eu being
convinced at last, they have struck out on this
new departure under Greeley and Brown, and
they are evidently going ahead. And This, we
suspect, is the difficulty with Mr.. Sherman,
that this new departure of the democrats
throws the administration party upon the de-
fensive--a great point gained by the opposi-
ion fora vigorous campaign.

Tho Destruction OF tho Eric Machin,
shops in Jersey City.

Tho Destruction or tho Eric Machine
shops in Jersey city.
In another column. will be found graphic
description of the terrible fire which reduced
the Erie machine shops to ruin last night
The cause of the fire is still mystery
all that is known is that it originated in
the carpenters shop. It was discovered
about eight o'clock in the evening
So rapidly did the devouring flames advance
that in few short hours buildings covering
an acre of ground were completely destroyed
in spite of the gallant exertions of the Fire
Department 1t is useless to speculate on the
causes which led to such terrible destruction
Of property, although there is reason to Won
der at the swift burning of some of the
shops where the materials in use were
little calculated to feed the flames.
But the fire had made such Roadway in the
carpenters shop and taken such firm hold on
the building that nothing could resist it's fierce
intensity. The iron girders bent like wires,
and even the solid iron wheels were melted in
the huge furnace pile whose flames illuminated
the night sky. Storerooms, copper, tin and
boiler shops shared the same fate as the
pattern and machine shops, and at
ten o'clock, when the fire had lasted
just two hours, the whole block of buildings,
reaching from Provost street to North street
smouldering mass of ruins. The strong brick
walls crumbled under the intense heat, and,
falling, had buried in their debris one of the
Oldest and most respected of the Jersey City
fremen. 1t is impossible to read the story
of this brave mans devotion without being
which he gave proof in the discharge of
dangerous duties. The feeling of regret will
be deepened by the reflection that he fell
victim to an exaggerated sense Of discipline
in hopeless effort to stop the progress of the
flames In addition to the buildings con-
sumed all the machinery and about twenty
five locomotives have been destroyed. The
loss is supposed to amount to over three
millions and half, but whether it is covered
by insurance or not it was impossible to ascer-
tain. The extent Of the area covered by the
fire and the amount of damage it inflicted
will make the confagration of last night men,
orable The rapidity with which the destruc-
ton was accomplished and the fierce mas
terry which the flames obtained, in spite of the
efforts to check them, warn us OF the impor-
lance of maintaining in the most thorough eff
cheney our excellent Fire Department 1t is
evident that once fire gains certain Roadway
it only goes out from exhaustion and that
the most that can be done in such q case
is to prevent the spread Of the confa-
grafton. In this the efforts of the depart
ment were crowned with success, although
some Of the neighboring houses received slight
injury. One Of the saddest features Of the
catastrophe is the suffering and misery which
it will entail on thousands of the industrious
poor. Over one thousand hands will be
thrown out of work. This is fact 80 sug-
gestive as to need no comment.

THE REGATTA OF THE CoLLEcEs. This year
has been very unfortunate for the favorites of
sporting men. Fleet steeds of the turf and
trained crews on the water have behaved in a
manner to harrow the souls of betting men and
throw discredit on the reliability OF books

made before events. The last instance Of this
is shown in the result of the Massachusetts,
college regatta yesterday, a full account of
which will be found in another column. The
races had been postponed on account of the
sweeping winds of Tuesday that made the
water on the Connecticut more excited than the
assembled spectators, and it was thought that
when, at eight o'clock yesterday morning,
the several crews assembled at Springfield
there could be but one result, and that an easy
victory for the favorite crew. It so happened,
however, that the Amherst College men carried
off the prize, after most exciting and enjoy
able contest The time occupied in the race
was extraordinarily brief After this the
''favorites'' will not be so favorably considered
by the betting community.
