At seven O'Clock this evening the city was shaken,

was promptly traced to the group Of great Touring
mills In what Is known as "the Plat

entire Touring district OF tho city Is concentrated.
The explosion came from the great washburn Mil,
from which column OF famo was seen TO shoot up
several hundred feet. followed by q crash which
crushed the immense structure assthough II was IN
egg shell.

STATE ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER THINGS
Several of the suspended State Associations,
composed of Department clerks and other
Office in Washington, wish to resume
operatiOns. There seems to be still some I'M
certainty rs to the celebrated Civil Service
Reform order These earnest patriots at the
capital suppose that it has been entirely ex-
plained away. They understand that the at
tempt to run the Republican machine, like the
Keely motor, by puEping it full OF wind and
cold water, has been abandoned, and that
they are now at liberty to collect
money, distribute documents forward voters,
and meet in the evenings to talk
over the campaign precisely as they did
in former days. Perhaps the contributions to
the party fund will he levied in a less arbi-
trary fashion than Of old; but the fund will
be raised all the same. One by one the bar
rieIs of political virtue have been broken
down. 1t is no longer considered improper for
an offce-holdcr to take practical interest in
partisan politics it is becoming possible for a
revenue collector to attend convention and
even to maneuvre for the success of some
particular politician and before the opening of
the Fall canvass we expect to see the influence
il ever was in the days of General Grant.
Yet President Hayes, in his famous order,
tried to do good thing, and struck at a real
abuse That sort of administration in a
vicious circle, by which the Congressman
made the Office holders and the Ofice-holders
made the Congressmen, was fast destroying
the decency of public life; it was high time
to make change, and to keep some of the
promises of National conventions. The way
of reform was simple enough. 1t did not re-
quire orders, proclamations, sensational ap-
pointments and removals; 1T needed only that
the President should apply strict rule to his
own conduct, and that rule was well stated
for him in the epigrammatic pledge of "no
appointments except for merit, no removals
"except for cause" The moment he refused
to distribute patronage to unworthy persons
as reward for their activity in behalf OF
faction, the great work of reform was done.
But he began at the wrong end, and under
took to do everything backwards. He GER
tainly did not refuse to make appointments as
reward for partisan activity; he only diff

TILE Up. .TOWN ERIGRANCE

There are certain truths which are undeniable.
Where there is smoke there Is fire. Where there
are bad Odors there must be something which they
procccd from. A bad smell means an atmosphere
with something in it besides oxygen, nitrogen and
carbonic acid. This obtruslve constituent ought
not TO be there, unless understands mixing his
mir better than Nature does. One need not be
Dr. Chandler to know that air which smells badly
is unfit for breathing. Mr. Musgraye may not be a
man choke-full off science, but here is science
enouCh for him or for anybody with nose. 1t
isn't matter of taste, but of health or sickness, of
life or death. OdOrs arc made up OF particles.
When they innocent the smell OF them Is usually
agreeable. When they are harmfulthe smell is bad.
There il no room for controversy. Here is tue
whole matter in a nutshell. In our private econ
opies we act upon these truths If the furnace fills
our rooms with coal gas, we send for an expert IL
a whole district is contaminated by soap-at stencil,
we look to the Board of Health.
What We want is our air neat, so 20 spoal-oxy
gen. 23.2 per cent nitrogen. 7G.7; carbOnic acid
Ol. What we do not want is putresccnt exhaa-
tion. sulphuretted hydrogen, and n supcriluity of
corbonic acid. Without pretending TO be scientific,
we fail back upon the elegant simplicity of the
above formula. II poor Judge Davis, instead of
being an excellent lawyer had been good chCm-
ISL he might have gol together lot OF instruments,
and asccrtained the proportions of the air which
seemed to drop bodily down" upon No. IL West
Fifty-sixth-st., and TO imprcgnate tho whole resi-
dcncc with brawny, abc-bodieG SMELLS" waited
from anywhere rather than from Araby the Blest.
Not being scientific, the Judge could only shut the
yyipdows-a poor recourse, but better than none.
Two Judges concur in an opinion that the smell is a
bone-boiling smell, suggestive of dead horses, as
Judge Brady puts it. He claims to be " a connoIs
scnr i'm air." And he says bone-boling" and " rem
dering establishments" lie does not speak without
observation lie has visited these manufactures of
