The Maine Election.

The election Of State officers and Con-
gressmen, which took place in Maine yes
terday, has been looked forward to with
full character of the contest, owing
to the introduction of the new
greenback or so-called national party
into the campaign. year ago
the vote polled by the greenbackers was
comparatively Insignificant, but it was
money that the agitation of the question in
other States, particularly in Massachu-
sets, would tend to increase their
numbers The returns thus far re-
ceived are not complete, and it is inn
possible to say definitely how the
battle has gone. 1t is evident, however,
that the greenback vote has been largely
increased by the detection Of the democrats
who were, no doubt, disgusted by the tao
tics Of the Tilden leaders in the State
and the prominence given to the fraud
issue. According to the latest de-
spatches Reed, Frye and Lindsey,
the republican candidates in the First,
Second and Third Congressional districts,
have been reelected. In the Fourth dis
trict, where the contest was exceedingly
bitter, Powers, the republican candidate,
has probably been defeated by Ladd,
who ran on the greenback ticket. Hale's
district is close. So far as the Cover
norship is concerned it is believed that
Governor Conner has failed of reelection
by the people. The result. however, will
not be definitely known until this evening
or tomorrow.

The Exci.e Muddle.

The District Attorney will have to make
still another effort before the much indicted
EARLY can be securely bound by the tolls of
the law, and it is not certain that even then
he will succeed. We give in another col
umn the opinions of prominent lawyers,
among them the Distric. Attorney himself,
ON the point raised by ex-Judge Often
hoefer, counsel for Early, and the gist
of these is that in this and SINH
depend upon the agreement Of jury, in
stead Of following as matter of course
upon mere proof of the sale of liquor The
practical benefit to dealers of this new
phase Of the struggle between law and
liquor is stated by Judge Dittenhoefer to
inhere in the hope of the enactment of a
common sense law regulating the sale of in
toxicating beverages, but the District At
torney suggests some obstacles in the way
of such an enactment, and those who
have had any experience at Albany in
affairs of this sort, no matter upon
which side, will sorrowfully admit
that Mr.. Phelps has fairly outlined the
difficulties to be met 1t will be possible,
however, to pass a law the application Of
which can be secured by persons with a
fair knowledge OF ordinary English, and
this is more than can be said of the present
one. Meanwhile the temperance people
will do we'll to bear in mind.the wisdom OF
the adage that half loaf is better than no
bread, and to accept such assistance as the
better class of liquor dealers are willing to
give them.

Who Is 20 Blnmrs

There can be no good excuse for tho
tumbling down of house in the course Of
erection. If a capable architect makes the
plans and specifications and sees that they
are properly carried out IL capable work
men are employed and good materials used
building must stand. When IL falls to
pieces and tumbles into the cellar there
must be fault somewhere, and as such acci-
dents are likely to cause a terrible loss Of
life the law properly steps in to guard
against incapacity, carelessness or greed In
the ERECTION of buildings. The character of
the foundations, the thickness Of walls, the
quality of the mortar and all details are
specifically laid down by the statute. and n
Department of Buildings Is created and
maintained ut cost Of seventy or eighty
thousand dollars year for the purpose of
seeing that these provisions are thoroughly
observed and enforced. When an accident
like that on Broadway and Fifty-third
street occurs some one must be to blame,
and it is most important to the public
safety that in this case the responsibility
should be placed just where It belongs, and
that the culpable person or persons shoul d
be punished.
We have no right to pass this occurrence
over lightly because, through the interpo-
sition of Providence, it was not the occa-

raised on the subject. However IL may be
intended. we find nothing to admire in this
latest stroke Of policy. To dignity il As
resumption of specie payments Is absurd
Specie payments must be resumed by Law
and not by caprice. Mr. sherman will be
just as free to stop this experiment any
time between now and the lat OF January
as he is TO begin IL. and IL II is cried
up as resumption Of specie payments
the country may BE- mortified with new
suspension. II will not do to play iast and
loose with SO important a measure rs r.
sumption. We do moi see that single adj
vantage will result from the Substitution of
silver Tor gold in the pay ment Of duties, ana
this is ali that Mr. Sherman's new expert
ment can amount to.
II it were true that the Secretary intends
it as means OF accommodating grecnbacks IN
the Treasury il would be mistimed and ill-
judged. as we'll as Illegal The domestic
business OF the country will always be

sary for the convenient transaction Of onsi-
ness in the season when large banking

This is just the season OF the year when the
paper currency should not be contracted,
even if the Secretary Of the Treasury had
authority to contract il. lie should watch
the course Of business anil try 20 learn
what it teaches. He has an ample stock of
coin for successful resumption and he
should exhibit no fdgety anxiety TO antiei-
pate the operation Of the law. But We are
confident that he means nothing more than
to get some of his silver coin into circnla-
ton, without any purpose TO force con-
traction of the greenbacks against the letter
and spirit of the unwise law which Congress
passed in May.

sion of fearful loss of human life. The
criminal capacity or carelessness OF some
one caused an accident which might easily
have killed forty or fifty people, and II the
offence should be suffered to go unpun-
ished it Will be followed by similar
occurrences whose results will not be SO
harmless. Indeed, many lives have al
ready been sacrificed by the fall OF unsafe
buildings in this city, and this is by no
means the first instance in which the care
lessness or incapacity of builders and OF the
department have been made evident We
insist, therefore, that a complete and search
ing investigation into the causes OF the
Broadway and Fifty-third street accident
should be made by competent and inde-
pendent persons, to be named by the
Mayor, and not by the Building Depart
ment. Let the people know whether the
architect is to blame, or the owner, or the
Superintendent OF Buildings, or oil these
together. 1t is all very we'll for the Buiid-
ing Department to say that the law was
properly carried out and the duty Of the de-
partment properly discharged. What, then,
was the cause Of the accident? Nothing is
more certain than that somebody must be
to blame when a house tumbles down as if
it was built Of cards. and the public safety
demands that the censure and penalty shall
go where they are deserved.

The WEATuER.--1hc depression that was in
the West on Sunday has made considerable
progress during the past twenty four hours. 1t
now overlies the lake regions but dominates the
weather within narrow band from Canada to
the Gulf Although the pressure has materially
decreased over the Middle Atlantic aud New
England districts it is still relatively very high
and tends TO rctard the eastward movement of
the low area. There is, however, general north
erly movement OF the high area observable,
which indicates that the passage of the dcprcs-
sion will not be delayed very long. The pres
sure is also low over the Western Gulf and
South Atlantic coast districts. The barometer
is very high in the Rocky Mountain regions.
Rain has fallen the South Atlantic coast
and throughout the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys and the lake regions. IL has been
heaviest and most general in the lat
ter districts, they being within the in-
fuencc of the area OF low barometer. There
was also slight fall in some sections Of the
Middle Atlantic States The winds have been
from fresh to brisk in the Northwest, northern
lake region and over the Western Gulf and
South Atlantic coast districts. IL has been
fresh Oh the Middle Atlantic and New England
coast aud elsewhere generally light. Tcmpcra-
lures have generally fallen, except in the MIDI
die Atlantic aud New England districts, where
"a slight rise has taken place. Strong winds are
probable for the lake regions and the western
sections of the Middle Atlantic States during
the next few days. The weather in New York
aud it's vicinity to-day will he warmer and partly
cloudy in the morning, followed by increasing
cloudiness and possibly light rains. Tomorrow
