THE TRIBUNE has repeatedly urged the
enforcement Of the ordinance relating to the
smoke nuisance, and takes occasion nace
more to denouncc this outrageous intliction
upon the long-suffering people oC this city.
The heavy atmosphere Of the last few days
has precipItated the vast volumes of smoke
continually rolling out Of tile thousands Of
:hin1eys and slnokcstacks III the city Upon
the streets and into the doors and windows
If business-bloeks and dwellings, filling
every crevice with its thick, sooty, noisome,
sitting odor, until tile whole city is cough
ing, sneezlns, choking. gaspiug, and literally
lying with its llOrrid pressure. For this
there is positively no earthly excuse. There
are several inventions before the public, all
with more or less merit, and some claiming
to give absolute immunity from the horrors
We continually endure from this omniprcs-
int smoke And VIC have city ordinance
requiring owners of buildings ami others
using cont to make use OF some one of them
for the general lessening OF this evil, but
utter disregard Of law seems to be the rule
Ne call upon his Honor the Mayor anti the
Council to turn their attention to this matter
and compel obedience Of law from the DISC

superior to Parliament. They are the de-
fenderS of the Prussian Monarchy. They
are recruited from the ranks of the n0hiesse
and landed gentry, and supply the country
with its Ministers They are the Bismarck
party, and support his policies. The Liber-
ais are the opposition. The Ultran.ontancs
are both Conservative and Liberal, but they
unite upon the Issues between Church and
State. There are MANY Of the factors, how
ever. entering into these three lllaill groups,
whose policies are not so well known. Some
allusion to them, therefore, will be Of value
for future reference.
The progressists, who belong to the
Liberals, desire to reduce the ARMY and the
term of compulsory service. They are bitter
enemies OF protection AMI the I'apacy, and
tile u.coinpromising fors'o a!l Of Eismarcks
so-called economic schemes. Tile Popular
party holds a place between the Progrcssists
ant Socialists, and represents democratic
principles. The Socialists are divided into
three factions, the State Socialists, whu
would make the State financially i1depent-
cnt and otherwise omuipotent. the Social
Democrats, WHO would institute a revoln-
tionary Communism, and the Christian
Socialists, who take their stand on Christian
faith and love to King and country, and aim
ut the peaceful organization of wOrklnglnen
and lcsselllny the distance between rich and
poor by moral means. The Particularists in
su1nt regards are like our State-soyerclgnty
advocates. They are not hostile 10
the idea Of Empire, but demand political
independence i'll the States. The Poles
are -cI;lsscd with the Particularists as
advocates for special privileges, among
them the use ut their language i'll seIlool
and ut Court. The Danes are ranked with
the Poles. The t'ue}pls are tile Parliament

THE London Times calls attention to a re-
cent decision in one Of the higher English
appeal courts which must exercise an inl-
portant influence upon the popular vote by
cnfrancisng tens of thousands of men who
have not hitherto been considered voters,
and ellargins immensely every town COLI
stituency.
The appellants made a test case to decide
what constitutes Il householder, or the
llousehotAiny qualification for voting. In
other words, the question decided by the
English justices was, What is Il dwelling
house? The lower court had decided that
the appellants, who rented rooms and held
them Oh 4 tenure from week to week, were
dodgers" and not - householde:s.' The
uppercourt reversed the decision under dec
laration nj the Re-. ,ir;tlon act Of 1875, which
had hitherto escaped notice, to the feet that
the term - dwelllng-house ,; included any
part of Il house where that part is separately
occupied as Il dwelling,'' and decided that
they were :householders.' The court, ILL
deed, was so clear in its opinion that it re-
fused to permit ans further appeal, and said:
I" 1t w:.s too clear for doubt that tile object
OF that act was not to confer-a new franchise,
but to settle judicial doubts as to the inter
probation Of dwc1ling-house,' and to lay it
down distinctly that anu 1,drt ofa house sep
aruteiy occupictl IT'S d,ccltin9-ho'tsc should
confcr the frn1,cltisc.:' The effect OF this de-
elsiou, says the I'ilncs, '.will be to enor-
mously increase tile urban constituencies
throughout Great Britain. The nature of
the change is apparent from the fact that in
the Parish of st. Pancras aione-one Of the
suburbs Of 1.ondoll-it adds more than ten
thousand voters to the list. What will be
the result over the whole Of London? All
those hundreds Of streets in the centre
where each tl26Fa aud perhaps each room, is
occupied by 4, Separate family, will emerge
into new pu!:tical existence. Tie politica!

THE YIENNA HOLOCAUST.

The fearful calamity in Vienna, the Capital
ut Austria, grows in horror with eacl, days
intelligence, and the detail and viyidness of
the narrative bring it home rs closely as if
it had occurred in our own country Or city,
and must create kind Of apprehension upon
the part Of every one who enters theatre,
for what has occurred in Vienna may Iiar-
pen at any time i'll any Of our own cities.
And yet. when the shock and novelty Of the
horror have worn away, the apprehension
will die ont. Theatres will be run very
much as before. with the same caretesness
and unconeern. People will come and 20 It's
before, with 10 thought for their security,
and will crowd auditorillms 10 suffUcation to
listen to- fayorir actors or singers, with no
thought Of what may happen or how they
will escape If anything docs happen.
This WAS tie case in Vienna It was Il
holiday and a gala night, fur Offonbac:s
last work was Oil tie boards, to be performed
hy large corps OF singers and with the
ballet, in which Vienna so much delights,
Tile beautiful Ringstr;lssc was crowded viii!
people on their way to the opera. The foyer
and 1obbies were full Of people seeking seats.
Tile galleries. four III number, were tillc.l.
The parquet was filing up, the orchestra
was in its place., Only the stalls were empty,
for they were the resorts Of fashionable peo-
pie who came late to exhibit themselves.
The second cali had been sounded for the
Stage people, and the stage aird dressing
rooms were filed with them. Suddenly a
llame shot up. and in the twinktlng of al eye
was sweeping over scenery and properties.
The great curtain swaycd in the draft

revealed the burning stage-tile most
terrible Spectacle it had ever shown
all audience. 4 ware of flame swept
through the proscenlum, over tile paruuet,
and UP to the galleries, forerunner Ut death
and destruction. Then it was the old, old
stor,-the crazy, n'addening rusll; the strong
tr'upling upon the weak and fighting their
way to the street; the rusl and roar OF the
flames; the binding, sutTocatiug pillows of
smoke; the cries and screams Of agony; the
explosion OF gas adding to the horror of the
scenei some trampling upon those in front

wHaT THE BOYS ARE READING.

President Garfield once said that the first
volume lie ever read---4lc foundation of his
llbrary-was ''Thc Pirates Own Book" IT
his youth had been deferred until this time,
he might have begun his literary pursuits by
reading the Pitutc's Or'l Newspaper. The
boys have. to Il great extent, stopped reading
dime novels, and are now reading fiaslly
newspapers specially gotten up to create and
satisfy all appetite for stories of criminal ad-
venture.
at almost any newsstand half dozen Of
these pernicions prints may be found dis
played. The number and the evidences of
prosperity which they all contain are
surprising. But there is very little variety in
their contents. They all celebrate the virtues
of tile slnall-boy-wlo-is-not- -the-po-
lice. This small boy is very smart. lie
knows more than Ills father, and can outwit
amy. man by his superior cunning lie
usually goes about heavily armed, and shoots
with unerr;ng accuracy lie is not above
getting, drunk and chewing tobacco, but even
in his cups his sagacity never deserts him.
He dcspises schools and learning, and looks
upon a teacher as all inferior ':cop.'' Ills
vocabulary of slang is unabridged. lie is
up to any racket" and is not ''phased "by
any " "cEump,"
Five Of these interesting periodicals are bc-
fore the writer. The titles of some of the
serials now running through their columns
are Instructive Some Of them arc: ''Tlte
Young Bank Clerk; or, The Mystery Of the
Money Vault'';; Man, Woman, or De-
lnon''; Merry Matt; or, The }vill-o'-sile-
Wisp of Wine"; "Old Merciless, the Man

Tile illustrations arc quite rs exciting a.
the stories. The favorlt scene i picture Of
il very small boy, Or even Of !. girl, Aoltln,
otr crowd Of big men with brace Of re-.
yolvcrs. There is a life-a1d-tleu.h ssrucch,
on the cdSc Of Il ''beetlIns" preciplce;
ha.rI-to-lland conflict with knives ON shin
board; Il street scene III New York with two
drunken boys in the foreground: and large
and varied assortment of assaults with a
deadly weapon with intent to kill.
This kind Of literature is worse than the
dime novels. BECAUSE it is studied slorl6ca
tion OF the worst phases Of criminal life in
the large cities. There WIS something r.
mantle III the pirates career. 1t was sea-
tariug life, alul its scelie was sl,adowy and
remote. The boys couldn't become pirates
if they would, ami must Of tliem ut once
recognized the hupelesness of attempting tn
be anything SO grand and splendid. But
there is not I'LL equal difficulty in entering
upon Il career Ut crime III a large city. Tha
boy who persists in this ambition win b.
very likely IT, succeed.
The guardians of the morals Of the youti,
should see to it that the vendors of fash ILL.,
erature for boys are met on tLeir own
grounds. The boys should have Il weekly
newspaper Of their own that is not too goo,i
for human natures daily food nor too bad
for Any boy to read. Tile error Of respec;a-
hie publishers ll:,s been on the side Of preach
in1 and stiffness. They hare put the boys'
newspapers too m,,eil III the hands Of
women. 4 boy likes stories Vt adventure Tie
mist and will have thenr,. md they may be-
giren to him with perfect safety II they a.e
chosen. The line should he
drawn only 1T criminal adventure. We a1e
beginning to sec that Indian stories and sea-
going tales IRE comparatively harmless.
The danger lies in the praise Ut vices which
1ll;ty be easily practiced Mt home. Why will
lrot the publishers recall tho alnlonitlon Of
Mr. Chaibanu to Little 10: 'sYou air 4 boy
IA huHutu boy''::' Most OF tic respectable
Juvenile publications are not, VIC regret to
';ly, intended for the p"rusa. Of .'hunlan"

bloodo It may be understood no" that
Judge Cox las, so to speak, put his foot
down. When the. District-Attorney insults
Guiteau urcllins are not to be permitted to
applaud. Hereafter there Is to be but one
privileged character in Judge Cox's court.
Guiteau will continue to tell the wit
nesses tl1at they lie. to. tell the opposing
counsel to shut Up, to pound the table with
his cicnclled list, to howl in stimulation OF. a
Ded,amite, and to smile patronlzlnsly upon
1.-THE Courts appointed to try him. And Mt
all this Judge Cox will continue to smile
blanlly in return: But llc can frown as
iierce1y as another if occasion requires him
to wrinkle his judicial countenance-pro-
yidcd the object Of his wrath Is 4 small boy
who recognizes the fitness to Guiteau's char
acter of the appellation ''deyiish dcpravity.'
Ey all means, Judge Cox, let the prisoner
spit out his venom on counsel and witnesses;
let him shock the whole courtroom with
profanity and obscenity, but put down tho
small boy in the audience with strong hand.
This is nc least appropriate administration of

GERNAN POLITICS,

It has been witti!y said by some French
man that where there are two Germans there
are three opinions, aud tile remark is. forci-
bly, eNempliiicd i'll the German Parliament,
which represents German unity, and has
nineteen different political theories To

policies and diyiding'ines Of these PARTIES.

not only by foreigners, but, it has been
claimed, eEen by Germans themselves The
Berlin correspondent Of the London Times,
however, III a very exhaustive article upon
the results Of the recent election, has thrown
considerable light upon this point and we
are enabled thereby to get a very clear idea
Of the Parliament and its parties.
The Reicl,stag has :o7 members. They
may be generally grouped as Conservatives,
Liberals, Radicals and Reds, Ultramontanes,
and heterogeneous lot of Protesters, Par
ticulari5ts, and Independents, or ''Sayages."
The Conservative group includes the Con-
servatiyes, Free Conservatives, German
Conservatives, and German Ilnperialists.
numbering cfglty-one members. The Lib
erals include National Liberals, Seces-
sionists, progresslsts, anil Liberal group,
numbering 1;t members. The Radicals in
clude Social Democrats and Popular or Nom
Alonarcl'ical party, numbering twenty-one
members. The Ultramontanes include the
Clericals or ''Blacks," numbering ninety
eight members, and the heterogeneous lot,
which includes Poles, Guelplls, Danes, AL
sace-Lorrainers, and "Savagcs,:' numbers
forty-six members. ="
With the principles Of the three main
groups, the Conservatives, Liberals, and u
tramontanes, our readers are well acquaint-
ed. The Conservatives are the Crown party,
and believe that the Crown should be and is
