THERE are some people who are so
much controlled by prejudice that they
will only read or listen to one side of
a question. Such persons need never
expect to obtain wide knowledge Of
anything, because when they do hap
pen to get hold Of an idea, which is
generally borrowed, no matter how
ERRONEOUS, to say the least, it may be,
they will always be found cropping in
the darkness. God gave man the fac
ulty of reason, and should the inten-
ton have been not to examine all
sides of all questions, and come to con-
illusions by reason, it never would
have been given. Animals know by
instinct, but man, who is elevated
far above all, is to find out things by
reason. In justice to God and to our
selves, let us use reason in all things,
and advance the intellectual world.

In the Blue Book for 1877 among

In the Blue Book for 1877, among
the personal sketches of Memb ers of
the Legislature, which are prepared
by themselves, is one of the represen-
tative from this district, Ii Finn. In
writing up his biography, Mr.. T.
seems to have fallen into an error sim
liar to the one he made in his 'super-
visor BILL" Among other things, he
states that he "was elected Mayor of the
city ct WATERFOWL in 1873 and 1874"
He is correct as regards his election In
the latter year, but 10. 1878 he was de-
feated by Christian Mayer, the vote
standing Mayer 628, Finn SIP.
Here is another trifing mis-statement
well calculated to shake the confidence
of the public in Flian's truthfulness.
1t is to be hoped that he will not charge
this mistake upon Mossrs. Dennis, Hall
and Moak, although we are quite con-
fdent he will try and fasten the re-
sponslblllty upon some one. It is rot
by any means certain, however, that
he will not still insist that he was elected
in 1873, notwithstanding the official
figures tell q different story.

Finn with any extravagant idea of his
Importance SO that be will swell up
and explode, but it is proper he should
be advised that he is master of the
situation in the Democratic Union
League camp, if he takes care to not
lose his grip. The Union League
having stolen, or borrowed, or at least
obtained possession Of the livery of the
Democratic party, and now having full
control of the same, has but to assert
its authority, and victory is assured
every time. If we may be permitted
to offer suggestion or two we would
say that there must not be too much
laxity Of expression on the part of the
Boss, but be should contine himself
little nearer to the truth than is his
custom when speaking of matters Of

strengthen himself by being less of a
demagogue than he has shown himself
to be in the past. He should also
temper with moderation his raids upon
the city treasury and rot let those of
such glazing character as were per-
petrated at the first meeting of the
Board, and for which he was responsi
bic, become too frequent. His sup
porters will submit to considerable in
this line, and smile approviogly upon
Democratic thieving in a small way
ia fact, they expect it from the present
Board-but it will be we'll to not carry
the thing to extremes. IF the Boss
will confine himself closely to the sug-
gestions here presented, he will act the
part of wisdom, make sure of his poit-
ical Inheritance hereafter, and cause the
Democratic Union League party to rise
up and call him blessed.

WHEN Wade Hampton was in
Washington beseeching the President
to withdraw the troops from the South
Carolina State House, he made many
promises as to his future good behavior.
Not a little surprise has been oc-
casioned by Hampton's violating his
pledges and doing precisely what he
promised not to do. He agreed to not
disturb the status of the other State
officials, but to let the question of the
eligibility of those who were acting
and the contestants be settled by the
courts. Proceedings in quo a0arranto
had been commenced and every thing
was progressing satisfactorily until
Hampton last week conceived the idea
that be would usarp the authority YES
ted in the Supreme Court and decide
for himself as to who should fill the
other state offices. lie accordingly ad-
dressed note to each of the Republi-
can officials inviting them to 'step
down and out" and turn their port folios
over to the Democratic contestants, with.
out waiting for any judicial decision.
This modest request the incumbents
very naturally declined to comply with,
and now Hampton has taken forcible
possession, and shown to the world
how little reliance can be placed upon
his word, Hampton's act is very gen.
orally condemned, as it is in direct
conflict with the understanding be had
with the President as to the withdraw
al Of the troops.

Do our eyes deceive US? Are we
dreaming, or is it stern reality? Has
the Wa'ertown Democrat actually be-
come an administration organ? Or did
the following find its way into the
editorial columns of that paper last
week by mistake? An elaborate lead
ing article closed with these words:
We invoke the blessing of the Almighty
and the support OF great people to aid the
President while laborng Tor the greatest
good Of the nation over which he Temporal
riy presdes.
Bnt few months ago the Democrat
was "tulldozing" sheet of the first
water. 1t shouted for war, and "by
the Eternal" would have nothing
short of the Inauguration of Tilden, or
blood. 1t has piled epithets of the
most grandiloquent character on the
head of President Hayes, and left an
impression in the minds of its readers
that it would never recognize him as
the head of the nation; But now all
this is changed. and instead of denoun-
cling the President as formerly, the
Democrat is loud in his praise. 1t
must be that the millennium is near at
hand.

Flinn Writes Another letter.

communications Of Mr.. w. Nj. Dennis
and Mr.. j. T. AIoak, which appeared
the week before. Films last is Il
tame production, and if possible pre-
sents him in worse light than the
one in which be originally appeared,
He virtually admits that his "super.
visor bill'' was written by himself,
which shows he is net entirely devoid
of discretion and sense, seeing that
proof of the fact was so overwhelming
that any further denial of il would be
useless. The emphatic contradiction
to his unsupported statement given by
Messrs. Dennis, Hall and Moak and
the records in the office of tt e Secretary
of State, left him no alternative but to
back down as gracefully as he could.
He says:
Whether the bill on file in the Secretary's
office is is IN my handwriting or not is
unimportant
Now, to US it appears to be a matter
of the utmost Importance whether
or not he drew the bill, If the same,
as ii finally passed, is in bis handwrit-
Ing how cen any one else be responsi-
bic for mistake in its provisions !?
| And by what sort of logic does he sus-
tain the following propositions?
The mistake in changing the date of the
election was not made by me- | am fully
persuaded now if the bill lad not been sub
mitted 10 these men, no mistake would
| have happened
Can anything be more absurd !?
The bill, as published, is in Films
manuscript, without any interlineation
or erasure, and yet he claims that the
error as to date is not his. Then
whose blunder is it !? And how does he
expect to hold any one responsible for
mistake in bill framed by his own
hand \?
But another and more serious ques-
ton for Boss Finn to answer is this
Why was be, the special guardian of
the peoples interests, hobGobbing and
consulting, as he claims with those
arch traitors and conspirators against
the welfare Of Waterfowl, Messrs.
Dennis, Hall and Moak ? Here was a
trio of men whom the Union League
regard as little better than pirates
shaping legislation for the city when
Boss Finn knew that "the poor mans
friend" Pat Devy and several other
bright and shining lights in the League
were anxious and ready to give advice,
and whose counsels he steadily and
uniformly declined, much to their
chagrin and modification. Why was
not this bill-and, tor that matter, WHY
were not all measures affecting Water
town submitted to the Union League
and considered in that distinguished
body of gentlemen, where there is GEN.
tered so much intelligence. diplomatic
tact and legal ability? What excuse
has be for ignoring all the great men
in this august conclave of which he is
the leader, and advising with Dennis,
Hall and Moak, whom everybody
knows are as ignorant as horseblocks
and couldn't tell the difference between
the LIST and I'd Tuesday in April if
they tried? This is something that
Boss Finn should explain Immediate
ly, for an anxious constituency are
holding their breath in amazement at
such unaccountable audacity and pro-
voking fooliShness as that exhibited by
him In this instance.

s The recent destruction by fire of the
Southern Hotel at St. Louis, and the
attendant loss of life, suggests the i'm,
portance of safeguards in every hotel
against similar catastrophes. 1t may
not be generally known that there is
a law in this State compelling hotel
keepers to provide every sleeping room
with rope long enough to reach the
ground, to be used in case of fire. We
suspect that little attention has been
paid to the law up to the present time.

Bay ard argued against him taking the

THE STATE HoU,x-

The indications now are that the state il
to have the necessary legislation in regard TO
building new state house. The house bill
went through the senate yesterday with sew
eral amendments, but the bill as it finally
passed the senate is substantially as it came
from the house, the amendments being
chiefly for additional guarantees of faithful
performance of trusts committed to those
who may have charge of matters connected
with the enterprise. This being the fact,
We calculate that the house will promptly
agree to the amendments and place the i'm
portant matter beyond controversy. With
the state house bill passed, we are inclined
to regard the acts of the legislature, in regu-
lar and special session, well calculated to
give the members highly fisttering recep-
tons when they return to their constituents.
The Sentinel has no cause of complaint. 1t
has taken special interest in several measures,
and its views have been most satisfactorily
Endorsed by the legislature. That these
measures will bear good fruit we do not
doubt, and with the friends in both branches
of the general assembly we are willing to
stand by the record.

steam pipes, when branch pipes are TO be
taken OF. Another objection has been con-
densatiou. This the asbestos reduces about
three-fourths, and the air space and wooden
pipe will reduce IL still further. Tests made
during the month of July with very small pipe,
prove that the steam may be carried Through
well protected pipes for mile, and then be
more economical than any other system. But
IL is thought that zoo l, 5OU feet each way,
making half-mile square, Is about all that
need be furnished from one location. This,
even In city with population of | sou, would
include nearly ali the business places, hotels,
churches and schools. Buildings further out
could be reached by a single line OF small pipe.
Steam can be manufactured on large scale
for one-fourth the cost that IL can on a small
scale, for warming a single dwelling or block.
You can stop the expense at any time by turn
Ing the steam cock In your house, whereas in
the use OF private boiler, when you shut off
the steam, combustion goes on just the same.
There is shout $50 cubic feet of hot air per
minute lost through the chimney.
Underwriters are likely to favor this new
idea of heating cities. since the liability for
fires will be indefinitely reduced, a fact that
will also interest owners of property, since
with decreased liability there will be a CORE
spending reduction in the insurance tariff
