BUILDING HOUSES ON SAND.
House That WIFI Have ia
be Rebuilt.

That there is vast amount of prac.
teal sense in the Scriptural Injunction
about building CD solid rock, has been
very practically illustrated by Harry
A. Bro1n within the past few days
During the past summer Mr.. Brown
had erected two pretty little two-story
bricks On Madison street, between
Eighth and Ninth, and about month
since he himself moved into one of
them. His stay was a limited one,
however, as on Monday last he awoke
to the fact that the foundation wall en-
the north side Of the house had evil
dently started on an expedition of its
own in search of a solid resting place.
Ia fact the wall had settled down to
such an extent that it was dangerous
for Mr.. Brown to longer remain in the
building, so he moved, and now force
of wOrkmen are tearing down the en-
tire north wall, preparatory to rebuild
ing. The ground upon which the house
rests is made ground, and in laying the
foundations the masons evidently did
not exercise that amount of care which
they should have done.

A WarniDK.

1t is positively stated that the rece1t
great fire in Boston, Massachusetts, Tss
occasioned by the spontaneous combus-
ton Of cotton waste which had been
lying in heap in one corner of rsonl
in the bSiiding. Oar manufacturers
should take warning from this accident.
Every one knows that cotton saturated
with oil is liable to take fire, and yet
waste used for cIelning machinery is
frequently pitched into corner and
permitted to remain there for days.
Many a fire that is attributed to incen-
diarism has originated from such care
lessness. Any one that thoughtlessly
permits the continuance Of such action
should not be surprise if some day he
should find his establishment in ashes,
and as he could blame only himself he
should not be compensated for the loss
sustained. Let all take warning and
see that the rules of safety are not
openly violated in their respective es-
Establishments.

SENATOR EATON of Connecticut hal
commenced his campaign for re-eler'
ton to the United States Senate, and
his strongest election card is his opposi.
ton to the attempts of Governor Garce.
Ion to u5urp the Government Of Maine
and to incite to civil war. He also an
nounces that the appropriation bills
will be promptly passed and that there
will be shor! session of Congress. The
Senator is wise in his conservatism, but
it is doubtful if it will avail him any
thing. His course at the extra session
of Congress will be remembered no
doubt by his constituents, and he will
be given ticket to stay at home. Con
necticut will elect Republican to sue
coed him.

The advent Of the new year affords a
favorable opportunity for q review of
the past and for resolving upon enter
ing the new year to correct the errors
ard mistakes Of the old. 1t is too often
the case that in sitting in judgment up
on our own mistakes we attribute our
faults to others with rather too much
charity for ourselves. Young persons
just entering upon the practical duties
OF 10 will experience a lasting benefit
ifthey approach the task of reforma.
ton in proper spirit. To-day presents
to US the first leaf of an unsullied book,
and as each notes ths passing events
let each be careful that there shall be
no blurred and sullied pages. For the
present year, upon which We have Just
entered, an extra leaf has been provid-
ed, 1880 containing 3G6 days. Each
individual who reads these lines can
determine whether these fair leaves
shall BE- blotted and blurred or whether
at midnight on The last day of the year
the volume shall be handed up to the
recording Angel SO bright and so fair, as
not to cause a single tear to fall upon
it from his eyes.
The REPUBLICAN has abundant cause |
for gratitude in exchanging the compli-
ments Of the season with its friends and |
patrons. It's career has been onward
and upward, and at 10 time since its
establishment has it's circulation and
advertising patronage been greater.
This we accept as the reward of strict
adherence TO principle and truth, and
for this We beg our readers and patrons
to accept our hearty thanks and a prom
Use that We will still endeavor to make
the REPUBLICAN a welcome visitor to ev-
cry household, and to enable us to do so,
we still ask the continued confidence of
a generous public only as we deserve
it. Here goes for another year.

Our Balance Sheef.

In an evening paper is an effort by
soms Democratic politician,to show that
the City Treasury has large balance
on hand at the close OF the year instead
of a floating debt. No doubt this
writer is personally interested in show,
ing clean balance sheet, and to do this
some wonderful calculation has been
made which shows to what base uses
figures can bs prostituted. 1t is not our
intention to wade, through mass Of
figures to show how ingeniously such
mass wss collected and woven, together,
in order to deceive the public, but thegsr-
ment has such lurge rents in it that the
skeleton that it attempts to hide is
plainly observable. The writer admits
that there is $40, 900 in mortgage bonds
of the Board of Education, and note
due to e. C. Burnite of 81 500 more,
making in all 81 500 that have not
bsen paid, but which should have been
paid. He does not tell however what
any man who pretends to know profess,
ing to be a "faancier," should have
known, and that is that all the floating
debt that could be raked together on the
first of January amounted to only $lll,-
500, instead of 165, 900 as stated. Such
financial statements will not deceive
those who know better, and know as
much about the city finances as "fnan-
cier" does. He claims a balance on
hand in the City Treasury OF $4,000,
but he well knows that the whole
amount is borrowed money, raised
neither by taxes nor by the city reve-
nues. 1t is the balance Of the $l45,-
900 borrowed to pay off the floating
debt, and for which the city is to-day
paying interest. If there is only $780, t
900 in the Treasury, it is well known
that it will take fully one half of that
to meet the December pay rolls, and to =.
pay the December bills which are due,
aud Of which no account is made BY
'Financier." Under all these circuu
stances we still adhere to what We .
have always before reiterated, that !.
here would be floating debt at the
End of the year, the amount of which
ian only be determined by the Deem
Der expenses, but which will be at least v
E25. 900. =

TO-DAY cheap fares on the ferry boats
plying between Philadelphia and Cam.
den commenced. There ara those still
living who recollect the time when the
fare was twenty five cents, but it has
gradually been reduced until now it is
only three cents. We should think that
it had now about touched hard pan.
Daily Republican., 1880-01-01

THE THIEF Governor of Maine, in his
bull-headedness, seems determined on
civil strife before he relinquishes the
rsins of government, and for this pur-
pose he has swarmed the State capital
at Augusta with police, and its halls
bristle with bayonets. The end is not
yet, but so far the admirable temper Of
the people Of Maine commends itself TO
the nation. If there is a conflict it will
be because a crazy old Governor is de-
termiLed to precipitate one.

SENATOR BAYARD's boom for the Pres
idency lags since Garcelon has appear

Bayard was too good a man for the

THE CosT to the city of Philadelphia
of the Grant reception, amounted to
sl2, 1881. Mr.. Kingsley proprietor Of
the Continental Hotel, refuses to make
any charge for expenses during the
stay of the General and his family as
he considered them his guests. There
is no specification in any of the items
of expense, for liquors of any kind.
