BOSTON, Jan. 31.-Fire broke out at 7.20 this
evening il the 9TH story of a large six story
brick building, 121 Me1ford street, Charles
town district, used for the manufacture of fine
furniture by B. f. Holmes & Co. The build
ing, which was 450 feet long and extended back
200 feet to the Mystic river, was sflled with
furniture, large amount in the upper stories
being finished. The violent snow storm with
strong east wind delayed the fremen and the
entire building was soon in flames. Three
alarms quickly followed by general alarm
were sounded and only by great exertions a
most disastrous conhagration was stayed. At
10. 30 the fire was under control. The factory
and contents were completely destroyed, to-
gether with eight houses Some q families

WHAT IT MEANS.

We said repeatedly before the election, and
now it is demonstrated, that the National
movement in this state had no other purpose
and could have no other effect than to assist
the republican party to retain control OF the
state and TO recapturo congress. So far as any
object the nationals prOfcssed to have at heart
is concerned they have done both. They de
feated so many soft money candidates IN the
west that the hard money policy Of the repub
licans is virtually predominant in congress
In districts where democrats could not be de
feated and republicans elected by the nationals
running separate candidates they united with
the republicans outright, as in the 18th dis
trict where they united with the republicans
on Forsythe, 10 defeat Decius, the democratic
candidate. In most counties, as in La Sale
the movement was headed by former acknowl
edged republican, leaders Ike Col. Plumb, A
Campbell, Richey, &c. In Madison county it
was headed by Judge II. S Baker, the presi
dent of the republican state convention in
1876, and recognized to-day by that party as
one OF ITS most trusted leaders. Judge Bakers
mancuvre gave the republicans state senator
and two representatives, IN district that hao
hitherto been reliably democratic. Without
multiplying instances, however, it should b6
cnor oh to the democrats to know that the ma
tional movement means republicanlsm simply
and purely and that they musttreat it according
Civ. With this knowledge individual democrats
at least who were bamboozled into the move
ment ought to have sagacity enough not again
to be caught in such "A trap.

There Is no incident connected with the late
election in Illinois more gratifying than the
reelection of Col. w. r. Morrison in the l'tl'
district. A general shout went up on the re-
publican side when the telegraph at first an
nounced his defeat, but the official count shows
his success by handsome majority The
Colonel was not only determinedly opposed by
the republican party, but encountered an OK
ceptionally vicious opposition on the part OF
the Fiat" deusionists and had jealousies in
his own party to overcome. lie took his
stand, however squarely on the faith OF the
democratic party, catered to no hcreses OF
side shows, and won a square and honest
victory. He is one of the foremost men in con
gress and an honor to his state.

MORE FISH.

Thursdays dispatches brought Lord Sails
bury's reply to Mr.. Evarts's last dispatch in re-
lation to the fishery dispute. Lord S. makes "A
pointon Mr. Evarts in the latter's acknowledge
ment that he had not seen Capt Sulivan's re-
port with reference to the occurrence in For
tune bay last January. Another point he
makes is, that as to any conflict between local
provincial legislation and the terms of the
treaty, if such there is, her majesty's govern
ment Is willing to listen in kindly spirit to
any representations of our government on the
subject, hut can see IN il no relevancy to the
Halifax award AS to Mr.. Evarts's strongest
point, however, in asserting that the Halifax
commission went outside of its duties and con
sitlercd matters having no bearing on the
award and that the amount of the award was
thus largely increased, Lord Salisbury is Who'll
" silent tacitly, admitting the point unanswer-
able. However, it is not expected that our
Government will refuse to pay the S5,5OOOO0
Halifax award on the ODD inst, but they will
probably do so under protest
