OIL FIRE.
sig Blaze Mt Greenwich Point.

Big Blaze ar Greenwich Point.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. About half
past two o'clock this morning flames burst
suddenly from the north end of the Lin
seed Oil works of Grove s. Brother, two
story brick building, situated at Green
wich Point on the Delaware river, and in
ten minutes the centre structure was a
mass of fire. Water seemed only to i'll
crease the intensity of the flames,
fed by benzine and naptha. Three railroad
cars standing on siding, loaded with oil
in barrels, were caught by tho flames and
quickly consumed. The burning oil then
reached an enormous tank with capacity
of GO, 600 bushels of linseed, and this was
soon blaze, lighting up the sky for miles
around.
Saving Some Or.
A hole was bored in the large tank
through which great deal of oil was
saved. At noon the fire was still burning
in the north section of the building, but
it has been completely under control since
$50 this morning. The store house was
saved.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Latter estimates
of the loss by the fire this morning at
Grover Bros. place tho amount at $780,
600.

of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad,

THOSE best informed on the situation
IN New York are of the opinion that
ConAling and Plat cannot be re- elected.
Everything seems to point to that condi
ton of fairs. Members Of the legisla
ture, who before the recent recess, were
outspoken in favor of Conkling, have had
their opinions undergo change, by
spending a few days with their constitu.
ents, and base their opposition to the
two recalcitrant senators on the ground
that it is political death to support them.
1t may be set down as a foregone con-
clusion that New York will be represent
ed in the United States next December
by two men, neither of which will be
Conkling or Plat.

THE senate adjourned ON Friday last.
There was special session of the senate
called for March 4th, simply for the pur-
pose of considering the appointments
necessary to be made by the incoming
executive. A bargain was entered into
between the republican party on one
side and Malone upon the other, to Gust
all the senate officers and divide the
spoils between republicans and Malone
partisans. a dead lock ensued. The
senate wasted weeks in the attempt to
elect Riddelberger and Gorham. The
people began to grumble at the cost en-
tailed upon the country to crafty the
lust for Office which those two men de
veloped. Dawes and Hoar discovered
that they were contending for a great
constitutional principle" that the gov
eminent would be subverted, and that
the rebel brigadier would again menace
the government, if the Malone confed-
crate, Riddelberger and the defender of
the Star route swindle, Gorham were not
elected respectively to the offices of ser
geant alarms and secretary of the senate.
Meanwhile the fight on Robertson and
the Garfield coup developed and in the
trouble which ensued the great ''con-
stitu!ional principle" was forgotten. The
senate has adjourned and the country is
hanging over the precipice, nay, totter-
ing preparatory to plunging into ruin
because of the failure to elect Gorham
and Riddelberger. We must have some
faith in the predictions of Dawes, Hoar
and Burnside. We were assured that
terrible consequences would inevitably
result if this thing was not done. The
senate has adjourned and failed to DO
the thing which alone could prevent dis
aster and the country is awaiting in silent
agony the impending ruin. There is no
escape from it. The constitutional prin-
ciple has been "outraged'' and there is
no balm in Gilead. How could the hon
orable senators desert their posts and let
the country thus drift to the deyil p

MALONE finds himself so suddenly
dropped as topic of discussion or a sub
ject of attention that the manlkin won
ders whether he ever filled so large a
measure of the public mind as he fancied
he did. The sensational politician is
somewhat like the professional pedestrian.
Each is an ulcer on society and the seal
pei of public opinion should be useo
freely in their excision. There is no
man more despicable than the inveterate
seeker of small offices. He is hardly
above the professional beggar. He is
ferment in society, a source OF disturb
ance and perpetual bore. His never
ceasing opportunities are tiresome as the
drone of the mosquito, when sleep OPP
presses the senses. He fancies that the
nation is agog, in a fever of sympathy
with his pretensions and that small poll
tics causes the majority of the American
people to pass sleepless nights. The in-
dustrious farmer is looked upon as man
anxious to obey the dictates of the ambi-
tious seeker for Office, the mechanic, it is
firmly believed, divides his attention
between the work he has on hand and
local politics, aud the merchant would
rather use his influence for the man an1-
ions to serve the public, than tend to
his legitimate business. 1t is to be hoped
that this unhealthy interest in the ma
chinery of politics will soon die out and
persistent solicitation for votes.

THE admirers of Grant have a bitter
pill to swallow in his letter to Jones of
Nevada. People have toadied SO much
to Grant that he fancies his slightest wish
should be law unto the powers that be.
He asked certain things Of the president
and the failure of the latter to accept the
dictum of the searcher for third term,
makes him an object of contempt. 1t is
just such a letter of complaint as spoiled
child would write if ho had been crossed
in any Of his undertakings. The only
way Grant can preserve the little reputa-
ton he enjoys for good sense is to keep
his mouth shut. Let him not Undeceive
people who believe he knows something.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1881-05-26

The half-breeds are the "truly loil. :"
The stalwart is played out. Grant may
weep because his wishes regarding Ger
tain appointments do not receive the con-
sideration he thinks they merit. But
strange to say, the people do not mani
fest the slightest disposition to go to war
because of the indifference with which
the suggestions of the greatest man OF
the age" are treated by a feather head
president. And yet Grant delivered his
little set speech before many audiences
in New York last fall, and with character
istio modesty, took the credit of Garfield s
election to himself, as he did the putting
down of the cruel war. Grant is not q
baby, but he is the prize mule for sell
esteem.
