A HoRROR

The cable brings us news. somewhat
contradictory in its details, but all GO
ing to show that Ronen, in France, has
been visited by one of those terrible
casualties which were some years ago
only too frequent; a fire in a crowded
theater. These accidents in crowded
places Of amusement, places unpro-
vided with sufficient means of exit,
were, during the first half of the pres
ent century, of continual recurrence
alike in Europe and America. The
horrors of such scenes strongly influ-
enced a wide spread public opinion,
and the result of such opinion has been
a great architectural reform in the con-
struction OF theaters, public-halls, etc.,
whereby such An increased facility OF
exit has been secured as to greatly di-
minish the danger in cases of alarm.
In this country the reform has been ef-
fectual and almost universal; and we
are surprised at the occurrence in one
of the oldest cities of Europe, in the old
capital CT France, of a horror which a
proper police supervision might have
avoided.

Poor Bah! None do him reverence
now. Even the President has with
drawn his love. A correspondent of
the st. Louis Times says: Yesterday
he summoned Babcock to the White
House. The ex-Private Secretary
came, accompanied by his wife, and
the two had a long interview with the
President. Babcock told his story
substantially as he had testified before
the committee, but the President lis
tened with il~l-concealed distrust and
Incredibly. His toward Bah.
cock was unprecedentedly cold and
formal. Not even the presence of Mrs.
Babcock, who has always been an OBJ
ject of almost parental affection to the
President, could soften his nj or
touch his heart. Babcock went away
with a white face and despairing eyes.
1t was a sign of the desperation of his
case when he brought this sweet faced,
soft-voiced little woman with him, to
add the mute pleadings Of her beauty
and her anguish to his own d~espairing
explanations and supplications. There
was something in the scene that was
peculiarly dramatic.

AN OLD JOKE REvIvED.-The New
York World is after the Secretary of
the Treasury on that old mule case.
1t claims that the record shows either
corruption or Ignorance on the part OF
Bristow, and it calls for an explanation.
For Ourselves, we attach no weight to
the scandal, and we merely call atten-
ton to the dispatch, which will be
found In our columns, for the purpose
of giving due credit to the author of a
saying therein quoted, a saying which
will go down with history. 1t wa the
Hon. J. w. Nesmith, OF Oregon, who,
at the last session of Congress, alluded
to a mule as" that patient and long
suffering animal, destitute alike Of pride
of ancestry and hope of posterity."
Mr.. Nesmith vas somewhat celebrated
for this character of wit. 1t was he,
who. when the successor of Joe Lane
in the Senate, alluded to his distin-
guished predecessor T" as "the eentle-
man who spelt God with a small e.
and shirt with two st's.,"

PINCHBACK, since he was kicked out
by the Senate, has been rapidly losing
his ardent love for the Republican
party, and is now thoroughly dis
gusted with color line politics. In the
National Colored Convention held at
Nashville q week ago, he predicted
that the colored people would never
vote the Republican ticket in solid
column again. One Senator, Smith of
Alabama, was still more emphatic in
pronouncing In favor of n new depart
ure, and the convention applauded his
bold u%tterances. 1t will be a fortunate
thing tor the South, and for the coun-
try equally, II this revolt shall divide
the negro vote and destroy the color
line In polities.-& 4. Tribune

Dom PEDRo.-There Is abundant rea-
son to be satisfied with the manner in
which the Emperor of Brazil has made
his first appearance upon the soil of
the United States, says the Boston Post.
The obsequious attention which iris
Republic is apt to lavish upon royalty
whenever an opportunity offers has
been deity avoided by Dom Pedro;
not with any suggestion Of curtness or
rudeness, but c~ourteously and deci-
sively as became a gentleman and a
statesman. He has left his Imperialism
at home, and he mi here with hard
ly any more of his royal state apparent
in his surroundings than if he were a
private citizen of extensive can He
mas checked anything like toadyism
in the outset, and such attentions as he
will receive from distinguished citi-
zens in the private walks of life will
be those most agreeable to him and
useful in advancing the mission on
which he is bent. 1t is gratifying to
have one royal parsonage among us
who will not encourage the frothy
overflow of general flattery in which
Americans are too apt to indulge, and
who has too high an opinion of the
worth and dignity of true manhood to
permit them to be obscured by empty
homage to rank.

A ROuen Theater Burned-Fearful
Loss Of Life.

LONDON, April 70.
A Paris correspondent avs a fire in
the theater in Rouen broke out while
the actors were dressing for a por-
furinance, and was discovered before
the public were admitted. The flames
spread rapidly and the outlets of the
building were so narrow that the exit
of the members of the chorus and SUI
pernumeraries were cut off and the
poor people crowded the windows,
MANY leaning from them upon the
badding piled below by the inhabitants.
One of the chorus singers was visible
for an honr in an upper window, be
yond reach of help. Four soldiers
were killed and fifteen wounded en-
deayoring to ave lives. About fifty
were BADLY injured and taken to the
hosf ital. The leading singer entered
the burning building in seach of her
husband and persisted in the flames.
Her body has not yet been found. So
far eight corpses have been removed
from the ruins.
The Theater Des Arts was burned at
Rouen last evening. Seventy five per-
sons were in the theater when the fire
broke out, but the exact number of
victims is not yet ascertained. Twelve
houses adjacent were destroyed. Total
loss estimated at 400 ,000f.

SILVER AGAIN.

We received by telegraph yesterday
the information that Senator Jones had
delivered his long-delayed speech on
silver; that it had occupied six hours
In delivery, and a most attentively
listened to-and this is an exceptional
honor-by . full Senate. Moreover,
Mr.. Jones was warmly greeted and
congratulated ut its conclusion by Sem
ators of both parties and OF all shades
Of opinion on this much vexed ques-
ton. We have not been favored with
the text of Mr.. Jones' speech, or
sven with an Ineligible synopsis of it,
but from what little that has been
furnished us we gather that he has
pronounced in favor of a s'double
standard" Of value as a remedy for
existing financial evils; that is,
that his argument is devoted to
showing how the present national le-
gal tender difficulties and the present
strangulation Of the silver market can
both be averted by . system Of legis-
lation which will fix and enforce q
standard and immutable correspond
ing value per ounce between gold and
silver.
The personal and political interests
of Mr.. Jones are alike bound up with
the interests of Nevada. He is, more
over. a conscientious Senator of the
United States, and aspires to be a pro-
moter of the welfare of tie whole
country. He is q man of resources
and foresight, and his well matured
opinions are entitled to respect and to
every consideration. We decline to
pass any pronounced opinion upon
this whole question of currency by
legislation until all the facts and argu-
ments are laid before US. In the mean
while we frankly avow that We incline
to the opinion that Conrad Wiegand
has solved the problem; that the meas
ures proposed by him will relieve the
entire nation of the evils of a depre-
ciated and irredeemable currency, and
that without producing any financial
c%onvulsion; will re-establish the old
commercial value Of silver throughout
the mercantile world, and thereby adj
vance our local interests; will place
q currency on q par with that Of the
Great Powers of the Old World, and
thereby enhance the value of our
bonds, and to a great extent relieve us
of the burden of the interest thereon;
and will do all this without impairing
the obligation Of a single contract.
without injuriously affecting the finan-
cial status Of the land, and without
eutailing any burdens upon our pos
terity. W. hold our opinions with
difidencs and base them solely on the
facts 30 far presented to us.

THE SUICIDE EPIDEMIc.-With the
departure Of winter a fearful in
crease in the number of suicides
throughout the country. Almost every
day our telegraphic dispatches from
the East and West are thickly inter-
larded with accounts Of voluntary
surrenders of life. No sooner have the
warm spring days unlocked the ice
bound rivers and lakes than hundreds
Of weary mortats hasten to consign to
their kindly depths all their earthly
troubles; or, IL their preference as to
the mode OF (slo de Sc take q different
turn, the pistol, the vial, or the razor
Is brought into requisition upon the
first bilious attack. A person Of sound
body, sound mind and clear conscience
car stand up under heavy burdens of
trouble without losing that hopeful
ness which never admits death as an
alternative to endurance. When the
aggregate Of self. destruction is swol-
len to the extent we now Q it, one or
more Of the three conditions named
must be alarmingly depressed, and
what ban the cause be? Doubtless the
weather has something to do with it.
The apparently low state OF public
morals might be held responsible for
. part OF the situation were it not for
the fact that those who are guilty Of the
g~rossest offenses are about the last ones
to shoot or drown themselves. We
must come back upon our original
premises that the suicidal mania Is an
epidemic. and an inexplicable one,
whose force, 1t is to be hoped, will be
soon spent.

that Blaine is no lawyer; but Bristow

Judge his legal abilities from his sue

A Times editorial says: IL seem to
not be generally understood that the

Bogy have been aguing * to weigh
only 1893 grains, or l5L times as
much as a gold dollar. AT Yesterdays
quotations for gold and silver cnin it
would be worth two cents less than =
greenback dollar. If we adopt the
Bogy-Jones dollar we shall have 4
double standard, it. is true, but if we
compare our money with that coined
during the first 80 years of this century
We shall find that both our gold and
silver dollars have materially dimin
ished in weight. Among enlightened
nations it has long been held infamous
to reduce the weight of coins while
continuing to call them by the same
name. Can the wisdom and hon
esty of the legislation which leads
to such results be indicated =?
