ELECTRIC FIRES.

The extension of the use of electricity
has introduced a new danger to civilization.
Wherever houses are lighted by electricity,
and in fact wherever powerful currents are
carried on wires in and about houses, the
danger Of fire arises, and also the danger
of injury to those who may happen to
touch these wires unawares. The currents
they carry are commonly so heavy that if
they would not kill the incautious person
taking hold of them, they would certainly
parafyze him. OF course it is sought to in
-sulate these wires as completely as pos.
sible, but sometimes this Is only partly ac-
complished, and sometimes the insulation
becomes defective from accidental causes.
In the case OF fires the firemen are in OBJ
vious danger where electricity is employed,
and in New York it has already been found
necessary to give them instructions on the
subject. A good deal Of trouble has been
also caused by the destructive effects OF ac-
cidental crossings of the irealarm or tele-
graph wires with the wires used in conduct.
ing electricity for lamps. In such cases the
current diverted into the instruments or
alarm boxes is often powerful enough to
destroy the machinery, and even to set the
surroundings On fire. No doubt remedies
will be found for all these things in time,
but just now they are causing much diff.

POOR PERU.

The condition OF Peru appears to be most
deplorable. The country is almost entirely
in the hands Of the Chileans, who are be-
having with all the brutality of their semi,
savage nature. They seem to have estab-
lished sort of reign of terror, and to be

world, the Government of the United
States, which aught to have interfered

ing exhibited in this case degree of pru-
dence singularly at variance with its be-
havior towards the really formidable powers

fore the barbarous Chilenians leave her. In
deed Chile appears to be go swollen with
pride over her conquest that she may be
expected to be a quarreIsome neighbor
hereafter, and her wars will probably be
extended to other of the South American
Governments. Very considerable powers
have repeatedly grown from as small begin
ings, and Chile would not have very DIFF

of the department, and without whose
trained skill aud professional knowledge
the very strongest OF cur Secretaries would
have made shipwreck of the national
finances, it is not a matter OF indifference
who holds the ostensible headship in
the Treasury Department. An ignorant
man who is mere politician may still have
sagaeity enough to keep quiet, and accept
the guidance which Is sure to be provided
for him. But an ignorant man who should
undertake to impress his ideas upon the
policy OF the department, or who should
undertake to avenge himself upon his
enemies by locking up or disbursing
national funds, would be very disastrous
kind of Secretary. No man who has not
practical knowledge of finance ought
ever to be in that Office. Any other man
must either be at the mercy OF his sub
ordinates, or of his own inexper:ence. To
put a politician in there is to confess that
the Secretary Of the Treasury does not
control it, though he is norninally held re-
sponsible for its policy. President Arthur
will assuredly be excused by the country,
no matter how much time he takes to
make his selection for this office, if at last
he sends in the name of some man whose
past life justifies confidence in his ability
to hold the helm himself, and to steer
with it skillfully. Governor Morgan would
have done that, and the President ought
net to let his second choice discredit his

THE TREASURY.

President Arthur's first Cabinet venture
has unfortunately failed, Governor Nor
gan having positively declined to accept
the Treasury portfolio It seems that the
President had counted confidently npon
his acceptance, and shat the refusal has
embarrassed him. In other words, he had
not made any "second choice" and when
Morgan declined the Office he did not
know what TO do. Bat it appears to US
that those Senators who are represented as
criticising the President for his dilatoli-
ness in sending in Cabinet nominations
are very unjust to him. The convenience
of the Senate at such time is matter Of
the slightest possible Importance. That
body can afford to wait even another week.
But it is of the very first consequence
that the President should choose his Cabi.
net wisely, and it is especially neces-
sary that he should make prudent selec-
ton for Secretary of the Treasury. For
though there is great deal of nonsense

ries of the Treasury, and though they are

MacvgAeH AND TIE STAR ROUTE
CASES.

Attorney. General MacVeagh seems to
have spoken very plainly to the President
on the star route cases. he does not be-
heve that there is much prospect of con-
viction In these cases unless the Govern
ment throws the weight of its influence
on behalf Of the prosecution. No doubt
this is strange commentary upon the
administration OF justice in our Courts,
and It's significance ought not to be over
looked or forgotten. Bat MIR. MacVeagh
must be presumed to understand what lie
is talking about, and it is therefore proba.
bly, true. What he actually implies is
that the star route defendants are expected
to use bribery and corruption, and that
being both rich and INSCRIPTIONS they viii
leave 10 stone unturned to defeat the
prosecution. The Attorney General thinks
that the Administration makes it thor
oughly understood that it is en- the side
of the prosecution, it will be possible to
procure convictions. But it must be ad-
united that this is asking a great deal
under the circumstances. The star
route thieves have prosecuted their
stealing by systematic collision with
officers Of the Government and Con-
gressmen. There is no doubt of this.
Ii is equally certain that they have been in

friends, and even assist in senIing them to

thority, that President Arthur was in favor
of forcing the prosecutions. But even
1t this were true, il is nevertheless fact
that very few among his intimate asso-
ciates can be equally inclined to such
severity. He will have to face all the
