SEvENTY-Two BUILDINGS BURNED AT
MARBLEHEAD, MAss.-The business part
of the quaint old town Of Marblehead,
Mass, was almost wholly swept away
Monday morning by fire that spread over
10 acres, burnt ing y buildings, including
Is shoe factories, the Eastern railroad sta
ton, six passenger cars, a hotel, church
and many dwelling houses, destroying
some $500, 900 worth of property and proba-
bly, costing:one life. The fire, that ragged
some six hours, broke out about 2 A. NJ,
either in the L of the Marblehead house or
the hotel barn in the rear. The locality
was covered with wooden buildings, hud-
died close together with narrow streets.
The water supply is poor, and a brisk
wind was blowing; The reservoir was stu
ated near the starting of the fire, which
burned the frame buildings with great ra-
pidity, causing intense heat the firemen
were driven away, and before they could
reach other reservoirs the fire was beyond
their control. Sweeping of the hotel and
barns and dwellings adjacent, the fire
spread in every direction ON Pleasant,
School aud Essex streets, among the shoe
factories, which are almost all gone, with
stores, dwellings, the railroad station ON
Pleasant street, and the South Congrega-
tlonal church on School street. The fierce
ness of the flames was appalling; the
breeze carried showers of sparks and burn
ing brands TO great distance, and the Uni
versaist and Methodist churches, quar-
ter of mile away, we're several times set
on fire by them. James ii. Woodfin, a
young fireman, while tearing away fence
was struck on the head and terribly hurt
by falling chimney, and apparently can
not possibly recover, but no other serious
accident is reported. Fire engines were
sent out from Boston, Salem, and Lynn,
and it was not till So'clock that the fire
was subdued. The fire is thought to have
been incendiary. Some 200 operatives
have been thrown out of work and 40 fam
lilies made homeless.

A TERRIBLE STORM OF WIND AND RAIN
that started near Kansas City, Mo-, swept
as far east as Indiana, Illinois and Ohio on
MONDAY, doing great damage. 1t struck
Chicago with great force at LEO P. NJ, and
during the 20 minutes it lasted, vast
amount of rain fell and considerable dam
age was done. The Cincinnati express due
at Kankakee, ILL.,, at noon was blown of
the track three miles north, and several
persons were hurt. Oneida, H., reports a
loss of $4,000, and Aledo, H., of 10000 or
more. 1t reached Cincinnati about 4:l5 p.
NJ, and caused much damage. The roof Of
the indianapolis and Cincinnati railroad
shops was blown off, and a large number
of trees were uprooted. At Rochester,
Ind, houses were blown from their foun-
dation. The roof was blown from the Ash
ton and Thompson's foundry, the smoke
stack demolished. and the fruit and shade

COMMENCEMENT DAY AT HAMPTON H.

of Mrs. President Hayes, accompanied by
her sister Mrs. Austin of Cleveland, Ohio,
Mr.. Rogers, the Presidents private secre-
tary, and Mr.. Charles l.. Mead of New

Hayes had accepted au invitation 10 DO

should be obliged with regret to give up
his intention. Besides the White House
party, II, any people of position and intellect

General Armstrong; piazza, the visitors
repaired 10 Virginia Hall TO attend the af
ternoon exercises. Before they began, Mrs.
Hayes kindly went TO meet the school in
the girls parlor, where the senior class
and other students were presented TO her,
and had the pleasure of hand shake and
kind smile, each one. The teachers and
many of the visitors were also presented.
Northerners and Southerners, white and
colored, seemed alike charmed by the I'M
affected womanlness and affabillty of Mrs.
Hayes, and glad TO think that such true
woman presides over the White House,
and is the nearest friend and helpmeet Of
our President" After the rhetorical ex-
ercises Mrs. Hayes herself presented the

in gold alone, is as onerous to the tax
payers as double the rate would be in
paper curreHcy, and gold per cent
state and municipal bonds generally
cannot be sold because it requires the
entire resources of a great nation to
pay that interest in gold and gold
owners will not loan their precious
metal at per cent. on less than ma
tiOnal security. And in any case, it
is as easy for the people to pay in ter
est to their own government and thus
furnish it with revenue, as to pay the
interest to private persons, many of
whom are residents of foreign coun-
tries and spend no money here. Yet the
consideration of making the interest
paid by the people serve as govern
ment revenue seems to be particularly
obnoxious to our statesmen and finan-
ciers! The states, cities, etc., are now
paying $S0,0OO,0OO to $1OO, OOO, 900 in
terest per annum to individuals, on
state, city. etc., bonds, which, if paid
through the States to the government
would serve the latter as revenue and
let it reduce public taxes to an equal
amount. This plan OF per cent.
public bond system, constitutionally
limited, has been fully elaborated and
reduced to a practical shape, and was
SO published in THE NEWS nearly a
year ago. IT practicable, it is evident
ly too far in advance of public opinion
to meet with consideration, and we do
not care TO press it upon unwilling
ears: But we submit that the Kansas
system of the State lending its funds
to It's school districts and giving par
value for their bonds, is one prac teal
exempliflcation that the combined
power and resources of the body poll
tic can be wisely and justly used to
benefit instead of injure its individu-
al parts, and we also submit that
the object of republican form of
government should be to benefit the
people generally in their financial as
well as in their moral and intellectual
progress. The government is not
expected to give men money ANY more
than it is expected to give them intel
ligence or morality-but it can by leg
islation facilitate or embarrass their eff
forts to obtain money the same as it
can by legislation facilitate or embar-
ass their efforts to obtain education,
health or morals. Andthe people should
expect the government (Which is SIM
ply their own combined power and
authority to legislate tor their general
interests in financial AS well as in
in all other matters which require
government Jurisdiction. G.

our Commissioners for q redress but
had received nothing but curses. 1

A Practical disqualification.

The Commissioners for the manage
ment of the State Permanent School
Fund are paying par for good Kansas
School Bonds. The necessary blanks
are furnished free for all bonds that
they purchase. ALLEN B.LEMMoN,
superintendent of public ms truction
Topeka Kansas.
We wonder that this simple state
ment conveys no lesson to the gilded
heads of professional financiers. It
ought to stick in their crops until
they begin to see that what is done
on small scale in Kansas is exactly
what can be and ought to be done with
our entire system of national and mu-
niciDal Indebtedness.
If Kansas school districts bonds had
to be sold in the general money mar
ket, they would unquestionably, in
most cases, suffer discount, every cent
of which would be an unfair profit
to the bondbuyers and loss to the
tax payers. But the state wisely steps
in and invests its funds safely in q
way that secures to the tax payers the
full value of their honds. This plan,
despite the plumbers or dishonesty
of state officers in few transactions,
and for which the system was in no way
responsible, has worked so sue
cessfulIy that we believe the
legislature would almost unanimously
refuse to abolish it and force school
districts to sell their bonds in the
general market.
Now if the United States issued and
lent greenbacks to the several States
in exchange fer their bonds, bearing
interest at the rate of per cent. per
year, and each State lent its surplus
greenbacks to its several counties
in exchange for their bonds at 8 Der
cent interest, and each county lent
surplus greenbacks to its several
cities, townsphips, and school district Is,
in exchange for their bonds at per
cent. interest, all future discount and
exorbitant rates OF interest on such
bonds would stop, and the tax payers
would be able to pay the bonds with
out impoverishing themselves to do it
or resorting to reputation after
they had became impoverished in try
ing to keep up the interest. And the
public interest being kept at the
legitimate rate of 3 per cent.
rates of private interest would fall
until they were not above 5 or per
cent. This is of course a result which |
money loaners will not approve, and
hence they will almost unanimously |
condemn any such system as unworthy
of even being considered, much less
having trial. It cuts down their |
profits, and that condemns il at once in |
their estimation.
But letting all other advantages
of such system-such as the speedy |
revival of business, the return of
good times, the paying of debts
prosperity instead Of bank
ruptcy, etc.,-go for naaght, why
would not q public loan system which
would bring par value for public bonds |
and lower interest on them to 3 per
CENT be great saving to tax payers
over the present orthodox system |
which causes public bonds to be sold |
at discount Of to 20 per cent. and |
to bear ruinous rates of interest |
While il is true that national bonds |
are now being to some extent minded /
at per cent. that interest, payable |
