The Adelphi's Patched Boiler.

The report of the local inspectors of
steamers on the fatal explosion of the boiler
Of the Adelphi on the 2Sth of last Septem-
Der charges the engineer, the boiler re-
pairer and the inspector who passed the
patched magazine Of death dealing steam
with being responsible for the loss of life
that resulted. The mere fact that the
boiler required patching at all was sufi-
cient reason for it's condemnation. It is
impossible to make a patch safe, because
the strength Of the part does pot depend on
the new piece of plate, but upon the old
plate being able to hold IL in place. If
from any cause plate becomes weak
ened by wear or injury, it should be re-
moved altogether, and with it so much of the
plates to which it had been attached as to
allow for an entirely new set of rivet holes
cleanly punched. Considering that the
whole boiler depends on its riveting this
must be SO thoroughly well placed and we'll
hammered as to make the lap joint tight.
even without calking. The condition of
many steamboat boilers on our rivers to-day
is simply scandalous. It is cruel thing
that it is necessary for several of these
wretched patched things to explode and kill
a number Of people before the inspectors
awaken to sense Of the duty they owe to
the public imprisonment for long term
of years should be the punishment for this
manslaughter by criminal neglect.

1t Is little cool, even for these November
days, to come ut us with bland appeal for
a ''non-partisan" government. Why, the
whole monstrous debt Of the city was created
and wasted under the non-partisan system.
Tweed himself was the great apostle of the
non-partisan trick; he knew how well it
worked-for his purposes, and he had always
enough republicans in his service and pay to
make the non-partisan scheme successful.
Non-partisan government means o division
of the public plunder, SO as to shut the
mouths Of both or all the parties to the
combination. IL means the exercise Of power
without responsibility, and that means
the subordination of public duties to pri-
vate ends. AS human nature is constituted
such a system, if 1t begins with the purest
men, is sure to end in corruption and mall
administration; and IL never has the single
aim of good government before it. How
true this is Is shown in the present combi-
nation, which, as everybody knows, has for
it's chief object, not to give the city an hon.

Everlasting the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporal or mental, but
in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or
knowledge, how many transgress this sal
utarY rule. 1t must be matter of great
importance to all who do so to know how
they can regain the rigor so recklessly ex-
pended. The remedy is neither costly or
difficult to obtain. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is procurable in every city, town
and settlement in America, and it com
pensates for a drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any inyigor-
ant ever prescribed or. advertised. Labor

lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all hear
testimony to its wondrously renovating
powers. 1t increases the capabilities tor
