New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-04-20

The New-York Worlds Fair bill passed the
House yesterday in spite of the opposition OF some
of the extreme Southern State Rights Demo
Gratis, who denied that Congress had the power
to incorporate company within the bounds
of State. AS this is a Senate bill it only lacks
the Presidents signature to become law, and
this it will of course receive. The exhibition
project is therefore launched, as far as legis-
lation can put it ahoat. The more serious
task of raising the funds to set it in motion
devolves upon the corporators named in the
bill and those who may become associated with
them. New-York City will have to furnish
the bulk ofsthe money needed, and the FEAST
bility of raising it will no doubt be tested within
the next few weeks With judiclous manage
ment the exhibition can be made to repay the
capital invested in it, and as it is to be COM
mercial enterprise, and not National commem-
orative event like the Centennial, it ought to
be organized upon this idea.

Mr. Carpenter will probably not be in hurry
TO provoke Mr.. Blaine to another encounter
with the weapons of argument aud satire. He
was badly worsted yesterday, and doubtless
realizes now thata man who is not lawyer may
have a good memory, sharp tongue and q
ready wit.

When we remember with what Jealous alarm
England has always regarded the growth or
establishment of any other power than her own
in any of the four quarters Of the globe, the
lecture which The London Times reads us
about the attitude of our Government toward a
European canal across the Ithmus of Panama
seems uncalled for. A nation which protects
her own interests SO zealously, and often with so
little regard to the interests of others, ought
not to be surprised that the United States should
desire to control an undertaking of such vast
commercial and political importance to be pros
ecuted upon the continent where we are the DOM
inant power. The Panama Canal, for all pur-
poses of offence and defence in case of war,
would practically be our Southern frontier.
Whatever England may think of our attitude
that frontier will never be allowed to pass into
the control of any European Power.

No doubt 1t seems illogical to the Southern
people that participation in the Rebellion should
operate to deprive Of pensions the old soldiers
OF The early vans Of the Republic, while ex-
Confederate brigadiers make the laws at Wash
irgton, and are eligible for any civil office. By
the time the bill for wiping out this distinc-
ton has been defeated few times more they
win perhaps realize that there Is fixed idea In
the Northern mind that the pension lists, like the
rolls of the Army and Navy, should be held sacred
to loyalty, and that the men upon them should
be clean Of all stain of treason.

FIERY DESTRUCTION.
A Canadian Village Invaded by a
Forest Fire.
FOUR PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH

New YORK, Sept. S.-A Herald special
from Upton, Province of Quebec, 18th, says;
Fire swept through portion of this village
yesterday, carrying ruin and death in its track,
both to man and beast. The fire Lad been how
ering about the outskirts of the village few
days, until the wind reached almost a hurri-
cane. This was at 3 p. m. By the first farm
house was reached. The fire ran along the rail
fences, burning the grain, and the wind sent
the sparks in all directions So quickly was
one farm house after another enveloped that
the men, women and children barely had time
to escape out OF its line until the ire was upon
them again. AS the night drew on the flames
increased in volume, while the wind rose, and
for the space of about twelve miles in length
and covering width of three to four miles the
eye rested upon nothing but roaring. cracking
flames. By p. m. darkness had set in, and
the glare lit the sky for 20 miles around. For
est after forest was swept away and the smoke
and flame in one compact volume was some
six miles long, and measureless so far as the
eye could see as to width. Still men stood Their
ground and battled with it. From the st.
Helen, ST. Germaine, st. Guillaume and other
flying inhabitants were compelled to abandon
their vehicles and take to the horses backs,
while in many instances men were oDllged to
thu ow away their coats to save their lives. All
night the fire burned house after house and
barns filled with the best crops known for
years were licked up. Eleven persons were
reported missing, but nearly all are now &C
counted for, some of them badly burned.
DR.. >Gauthier barely escaped with his life.
Louis Gleche was badly burned in fighting the
flames to try and save his property Pierre
Currier, 81 years of age; Joseph Currier, son
of Pierre, % years old, and Telesphore Cur
rier, grandson of Pierre, 16 years old, were
burned to death, and Xavier Boisseau SO badly
burned that he cannot recover. Some 70 fami-
lies are burned out of house and home, rep
resenting $50 persons. 1t is feared the loss of
life will be much greater than reported The
loss in dollars is not over 500, 900. These poor
people lost everything they own in the world.

The Cabinet on the Stump,
TROY Telepram

The appearance on the "stump" of several
members of the cabinet has been made the
subject of unthinking criticism by the Demo-
cratic press. The Telegram believes as grmly
as the most ardeut reformer that public officer
are hired to do public work, and the same
principles regulate the business of the govern
ment and of any we'll ordered private estab-
lishment The members of the Cabinet, how
ever, are primarily political officers. They
frame the policy of the administration and are
morally responsible for it. Once in four years
that policy is'subjected to an examination by
the people, and its authors are pre-eminently
the men qualified to explain and defend it. 1T
istbe double good fortune of the Republican
party this year that it has so successful and
satisfactory an administration to offer to pnb-
lie investigation and that it has so able cabi-
net to discuss it

Prohibition State Convention - Charles
Almy Nominated for Governor.
WORCESTER, Sept. 8.-The Prohihitionists
met in convention in Washburn Hall to-day,
to nominate a State ticket and two Presi-
dental electors at large. The convention was
called to order at quarter past eleven by I.
j. Lathrup, chairman of the State GENITAL COM
mittee, who was made temporary chairman.
Not over two hundred delegates were present,
about half of whom were women. Mr.
Lathrup made a brief address, in which he
stated the objects to be attained by the Prohi-
bitory party. He also predicted the defeat of
the Republican party in the Presidential con-
f1ict, the announcement of which was received
with great applause.
DIR. Miner was made permanent president
and his reference to Neal Dow in his speech
was received with great applause.
A committee on resolutions was chosen A
resolution declaring that no Prohibitionist
could support James A. Garfield for President
wrs referred without debate.
The committee on credentials reported AZ
towns and cities represented by 121 delegates
The conventlontook recess till 1920.
The resolutions assert in substance that the
trafficin alcoholic drink is an infamous wrong
against society anda dishonor to a Christian
nation and as all history shows that
license has always proved failure,
and we affirm that our State
and national legislature should legally require
tions. We declare that our paramount object
is to relieve the State and national govern
ments from all completely with this wicked
business, by electing men to Office who will
put the seal of their condemnation on it. A
party opposed to the prohibitory policy
or refusing to make it an issue in its platform
has no claim upon us for support. While we
insist upon legal prohibition we will continue
to employ all the moral means we can to in
duce men to abstain from the use of liquor.
The convention re-assembled at o'clock
and nominated Chas. Almy for Governor,
Timothy x. Earle for lieutenant governor,
Soloman T. Root for secretary of state, Thos.
j. Lothrop of Taunton for treasurer, j Jonathan
Buck for auditor and Samuel M. Fifield for
attorney general.
A resolution very strongly denouncing the
Republican party for breach of faith with the
Prohibitionists was substituted for the third
