rhe Radtca1 1nbroglIo IN New Y0FE.

The balloting at Albany yesterday
showed q decrease of strength on the
part of conkling. who received only
SO votes, one less than on Wednes-
day. After all his efforts to recover his
lost ground latter all the personal efforts
of himself, his henchmsn, Platt, and
Vice President Arthur to bring the Re-
publicans up to his support, vote of
only thirty-three out of pos
sible one hundred and sixty one is
result as notifying to his pride as it
is conclusive of his fall. 1t is now gen.
orally conceded that the lordly Conk-
ling cannot be elected to fill the vacancy
which, in his petulsnt arrogance, he
created without the aid of Democratic
votes, which there is no probability of
his receiving. The New York Tribune
counted Conkling and Plat both out of
the race when the result of the first bal
lot was announced. That paper says:
There are only two solutions of the
present crisis. First, the adjournment
of the Legislature by a COnkling Tilden
coalition; and, second, the election of
two Republicans, by Republican votes
1t does not seem credible that any Re
publican should hesitate moment as to
his duty in these circumstances. There
are two vacancies in the Senate of the
United States; the Republican State of
New York has the right and the power
a. Al. g. xrrifh
by the treacherY of twenty-six members
of the Legislature those seats are sold or
given away, and the Republican MAORI.
ty in the Senate is thus lost for years to
come, no sufficient excuse can ever be
made for the men who shared in the act.
Two Republicans can be elected to-day.
1t requires but 81 votes, and we have
LOG. No matter about the motives of
members, it is their acts by which they
will be judged. There will be no future
for any Assemblyman or Senator who
to-day, for any reason, sells out to the
Democrats.
The Tribune is evidently apprehensive
of prolongation of the dead lock, by
which the choice of Senators to fill the
present vacancies would be devolved on
the next Legislature to be elected this
fall, when the very strong probabilities
are that two Democrats would be chosen.
The adjournment of the Legislature
over to Tuesday is evidently for the
purpose of giving opportunity for the
anti Conkling Republicans to agree upon
two candidates to be supported by the
party Then, as the Tribune declares,
''there will be no future for any (Repub-
licaD) Assemblyman or Senator" who
does not accuiesce in their election,
which would be equivalent to selling out
to the Democrats.

Is 1t Superstition -?
Nashville american.

By that sort of superstition which
sometimes obtains with even as clear
headed men of business as the directors
of insurance companies, the property of
newspaper offices, meaning the material
and general equipment, is regarded as
extra hazardous, and the rates of insur-
ance are accordingly higher than they
should be. We suppose it grows out of
the fact that the newspaper maker has
to use paper, which is combustible.
The absurdity of this long ac-
cepted conclusion is to nobody
so manifest as the printers them
selves. With over a quarter of a cen
tury's experience, we have been twice
burned out, and in each instance from
fires originating in other buildings a
block or more away. The truth is, there
is no business so little likely to originate
fire as that of daily newspaper The
daily newspaper Office is never closed.
Night and day, for three hundred and
sixty i've days of the year, the newspaper
office is never deserted. There is always
somebody awake about the building. At
noon the work of the editors begins and
ceases not until two and three o'clock
the next morning. AT sunset the type
settlers begin and do not leave off until
three and four o'clock the following
morning. When the type settlers knock
off, the pressmen take hold and work on
until sunrise. Before their labors close
the folders, packers, and mailing
clerks come on duty. By this time
the counting room force is on deck. and
every floor of the Office building has one
or more, and as a rule, a half dozen oc.
cupants all day. 1t would be impossible
therefore for newspaper office to take
fire without being observed in time to
prevent disaster. There is really moth
ing combustible about printing Office
but the paper, and that is never stored
in very large quantity in the build
ing, and always tightly baled and not
easy to take fire. The fire statistics of the
world will show that very few fires
originate from printing offices, while
they will also show that wherever print.
ing Offices are burned the fire was kin
died not in the printing house, but some
where else. On the other hand, such
buildings are rather convenient for STOP
ping fire, as was instanced in the case of
the american Office last Tuesday.

A Bad Temner.

The New York Tribune says: "Among
the many reasons demanding Mr..
Conkling's defeat is his violent and
vindictive temper, which keeps him at
enmity with more than half of the promi-
nent men in the Republican party. Just
look over the list. Mr.. Conkling for
years did not speak with Charles
Sumner; he parted with Seward; he
quarrelled and broke relations with
Fessenden; he was on i'll terms with
Trumbull; he was a mortal enemy of
Grimes; he held no intercourse with
Schurz; he openly quarrelled with
Elihu Washburne and ceased to
speak to his two brothers
he broke with Bristow, and violently
abused Attorney General Hoar, and
aided in forcing him out of Grants Cabi-
net and keeping him off the Supreme
bench. He quarrelled viciously with
Zach Chandler, and for some reason beg.
ged to make it up. These are a few of
the notable enmities that are scattered
along Mr.. Conkling's peaceful pathway
in the past. At present he holds no in
tercourse with John Sherman; has open
ly broken with General Hawley; is a
vindictive enemy of George +. HoarI
quarrelled with General Burnside twice
will not speak to Ferry, of Michigan
refused to speak ~ Senator Window be-
cause he voted to confirm Merritt, and
treated Senator Kirkwood the same way.
Both these gentlemen have since in.
creased their offense by going into Gar.
fields Cabinet. We mention the long
standing enmity with Mr.. Blaine only to
remark that in the sorrowful shade of
Mr.. Conkling's displeasure the Secretary
OF State has abundant and distinguished
company.
''Does New York desire to send this
trucuIent, ill-tempered, quarrelsome man
to the Senate to perpetuate his old enmi-
ties and cultivate new ones?"

by a striking frontispiece, and very
lively tale of novel incidents, entitled
'Pease- Porridge Cold" I'm Natures
Wonderland" is very well illustrated,
and describes interesting adventures in
the American tropics. THE Treasure

from poem by James Russell Lowell,
President Lincoln's world famed Gettys-
burg speech, and Judge Finch's poem,
THE Blue and the Gray" A timely
feature of the number is collection of
capital tableaux-vivants, by G. B. Bart
lett, called "The Giant Picture Book, F"
which can be presented by young
students at the close of the school term.
The two serial stories, with capital pic
lures and lively dialogue, are full of
genuine fun and boy-spirit.

AN EFFECTIVE TAX LEvY.-There is
still wholesome regard for the sanctity
of an oath in Vermont The basis of
taxation in that State has been more
than doubled since the assessment of
1880 by the simple expedient of requir-
ing the tax payer to swear to the correct
ness of the return which he makes of
taxable property. Before this provision
was added to the revenue laws nearly
the whole burden of taxation fell upon
real estate. Personal property was hid.
den away, and the payment of tax
thereon evaded by various devices. Re
turns of the new assessment in forty
seven towns show an increase of $685.
600, 900, and if the ratio is kept up over
the State, more than 800, 900, 900 will be
added to the taxable basis. This large
sum represents taxable personal property
which has heretofore escaped taxation
by being kept out of sight. The levy
rate for State purposes in Vermont is
II cents on the 800, and the somewhat
unexpected enlargement of the taxable
basis will fill the Treasury to overflow

RUssIA.-The retrogrsde movement of
the Car in his late manifesto declaring
''unshaken faith in the strength and jus
tice of the dutOcratic pOsoer which (he)
has been called upon to support and
preserve for the peoples good from all
impairment and injury" at one fell blow
brushes out the hitherto advancing hopes
of constitutional reform, and relegates
the empire to dire revolution and blood
shed untold. "Autocratic power" may
stave off the evil day for a season, but
it will surely come, and Russia, as other
progressive nations before her, must pass
the ordeal of constitutional reformation.
1t would be happy event for mankind
if Alexander III. could be induced by
the great minds Of Europe to recognize
the civilization of the age and acknow-
ledge the irresistible march of progress.

The desolating war on the Pacific
coast of South America, between Peru
and Chill, promises to be followed by a
struggle on the Atlantic side of that con-
tinent. The relations between Brazil
and the Argentine Confederation are. to
use diplomatic word, strained" The
trouble began on the river Perana, where
3 vessel of war of the Argentine Re-
public opened fire on the Brazilian
steamer '1nca, for an alleged infraction
of etiquette in the matter of salute.
Not content with this open attack, the
Argentine sailors insulted the Brazlians
by calling them "monkies." The EN-
peror's representative at Buenos AYres
has been requested to demand an ex-
PLANTATION of this conduct and an apology.
The two powers. who were allies few
years ago to destroy the republic of
Paraguay, are now mutually jealous and
unfriendly, and it is more than probable
that this little affair may be made the
excuse for actual hostilities.

ILLINOIS LEGIsLATIoN.-TheC Chicago
Tribune regrets that it cannot say the
Illinois Legislature, recently adjourned,
earned the applause or respect of the
people of the State; that it has been a
wasteful and extravagant session, at
least twice as long as there was any
occasion for. and the legislation itself,
with small exception, inconsequential
or vicious. In addition to the evils in
this grave charge, the body adjourned
without passing upon important matters,
necessitating a called session by the
Governor. 1t would appear that the
nlinoisans are 1.-TWO much governed, y
and we are not sure that some other
States are exempt from the same super
fluffy.
