has six months work to do for the city on
Blackwell's Island

Three fires that have attracted more atten-
tion than confagrations usually do have oc-
Cured within the past few days. Two were at
Chester, Penn; the explosion in the 1reworks
factory there being accompanied by loss OF lie
which seems sadly uncalled for. Several acres
of the City of Haverhil, Mass, are now III
ashes and there is also loss of life. 1t seems
singular that in town the size OF HaVefilli
the preparations to meet fire should nave
been so inadequate that aid had to he sent Tor
to neighboring cities. When this is the only
resource, it generally happens that the fire
burns itself out In small cities it is always
difficult to persuade the careful, economical
residents of the need of a paid Hnd efficient
fire department. This seems an expensive or
nament until a connagration RACES, and many
times the cost of the engines and paid fremen
is swallowed up by the flames in a few hours.
One painful feature of this fire in Haverhill in
addition to the loss of life is that nearly three
thousand persons will he thrown out of en-
plOyment in the winter time.
The motion for the appointment of COM
mittee to invcsti,at the working of the Land
act is a most signal proof of the unreasoning
partisanship with which the policy of the English
Lords is now directed. Lord BeacOnsfeld,
with all his faults, had a keen sense OF patri-
otic obligations in political leadership. Lord
Salisbury is blinded by prejudice, is leader OF
the blind with tendencies toward the ditch.
This motion will retard and ohstruct decl-
siOns and settlements under the Land act, and
will embarrass the Government. The Con-
servative leader deliberately arrays the prvi-
legged classes against the mass of the Nation
ON an issue which has been fought out and
decided once for all. He does dirty work for
the Parnellites, and he does it for the ignoble
purpose OF harassing the Liberal Premier.
The challenge will probably be promptly met.
Mr.. Gladstone moves on so high plane OF
political action that he tow eTs above partisan
ship. He has the courage to discuss Home
Rule with the Irish members in its logical
aspects, and as our special cable dispatches
prove leaves his advcrsaries no remaining
ground but fragrant Misrepresentation.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

OF the many New England ideas that
have conquered the nation. that which is
most gracefully accepted, IS embodied in
the religious social and Seasonable festi-
val of Thanksgiving. It was one OF Mr..
Lincoln's many inspirations to make this
national institution. and the SOuth ac-
cepted from him this extension of New
England usages which she possibly
would not have submitted TO graciously,
il at ali, from any other Northern Presi-
dent.
Thanksgiving Day, has seldom brought
as much to be thankful foi IS this year.
Six months ago the country was fail of
lamentation ever the prospect Of a scanty
harvest. but at the end of the season, it
is found that this has proved one Of the
most prosperous years ID the history OF
the ration. The ggaIaries of the country
are filled to overiiowing and there has
been no great calamity to sadde0 the re-
collections Of the year, except such as are
purely personal. Everybody should give
thanks. There are very few men or
women who have not reason to be devout-
ly grateful to God for what they have
and are, although those who are most
critical and coudemnatory OF the deal
ings of Divine Providence with them,
are quite likely to be those to whom the
largest possessions aud endowments have
been given. Those who possess mod
crate store of this worlds good, are gen.
orally more grateful, than those who are
satiated Oy an excess of the good things
OF this life.

SOUNDING THE ALARM.

The Maryland Republican, Dem.) Col
toms paper, published at Annapolis, be-
walls tAe situation in Mary land in the
following language:
"Bu: there is a shadow down in this
part of Maryland, shadow no larger,
perhaps, than mans hand-yet big
enough to cause profoundest gloom.
While in almost every State our Demo-
cratic brethren are shouting joyful songs
OF victory, we, here in Maryland, are in
sackcIoth Not entirely vanquished, it
is true. brt SO near it that we have moth
ing to crow over. The disaster is
great enough to lose us the next Cover
nor and the next Legisasture. The fig
ules of last week election show beg
carly amount of Democratic majority
outside of Baltimore city, and that ma
jority is SO beggarly that the state will
certainly go Republican next November,
unless the Democrats of Maryland will
reason together concerning the desper-
ate situation. for the Republican sword
:s certainly strong enough to devour US
utterly The developments of the recent
| election show that it is almost impossible
to retain a Democratic majority in the
next Senate of Mary land, and barely pos
sjble to hold majority in the House Of
Delegates. With such possibilities go,
also. the Goyernorship.
This is frank admission on the part
Of Mr.. Cotton, who is as we'll qualified
10 speak with reference to the politics Of
the State as apy man in Maryland. Ho

/ Democracy, and his keen foresight de-
i tects the approaching storm.

CORN THE CEREAL KING.

As everyone knows, the year 1880 gave
us the greatest harvest in the history OF
the nation. and the corn crop of that
year was 1,71T,000, ,009 bushels. This
year it is estimated to be 1850, 600, eco
bushels. In 1880 we exported 9S, 1G9, ST
bushels, and it is thought the exports OF
present fiscal year will reach the average
for prosperous years of so, COO, 600 bushels.
In 1880 our crop was $50, 600, 900 bushels
of which we exported 1919, 900, 900 bushels.
This year it is 800 100000 bushels, and
we have 25O,OOO,o0 bushels to export.
sfhe oat orep is the largest in the history
of the nation this year. 4oo,oo0 o0O
bushels; the barley crop IS a.. 600, o0O
bushels: the buckwheaS cropls It, ,o0o0

TEACHING THE MANAGERS A LES
SON.

The Chicag. M,tfa- Ocedi. rery ttuth-
fully remarks: The facts are inhisputa-
Bile that multitudes of genuine Republl-
cans have thought it necessary to teach
the party managers lesson. 1t is dim
cult to imagine how it could have been
more severe. II the object has been to
+ form, and not to destroy. the facts will
soon be Developed. Standing above
wreck where great interests lie buried,
wise men will not stand and quarrel
about the causes which led to the disas-
ter. hrt will lend hand to save life and
property that may be in jeopardy. The
Republican party has before seen darker
days and more Sire destruction threat
ened, and yet it has arisen equal 10 the
occasion. That it will in this emergency
no one need doubt. il the second sober

The primaries must be guarded as the
very foundation stones of the building.
When Republicans can coolly talk over
the matter, not one in ten thousand but
will willingly incorporate every reform
into the working Of the party which has
been asked for, and make the yoiSe of
the masses supreme. There are doubt
less men who have acted with the Re-
publican party who believe it has full
filled its mission, and they are ready to
launch out into untried paths with some
thing new OF old. Nothing need be ex-
pected of them. but the millions of
thoughtful people in the land who to day
are enjoying prosperity such as never
came to any people before, recognize the
fact that to large degree this prosper
itv flowed to them directly through the
| wisdom and craftsmanship of the Repub-
lican party. It is not to be supposed

ton of the party simply to clear it of a
