ANOTHER terrible fire in which
a number of persons lost their lives
has occurred in New York. There
will have to be a radical change made
in the construction of buildings before
these hecstombs cease. From de-
scriptlon of the building, no preVls-
ion was made to enable those in the
upper stories TO escape; they had to
wait there until ladders were brought
or take their chances for life by
jumping into blankets, climbing
down telegraph wires and other risky
means, several being killed in making
the attempt. The building was for
merly occupied by the New York
World, and at the time of the fire
by the Scientific American and other
companies, and was several stories in
height, but no mention is made OF any
means of escape other than by the
stairs the usual mode of exit. There
is Just as much necessity for easy and
safe ways of escape from these large
buildings as from theaters, partlcu-
larly when there are SO many EN-.
ployees as there were in this case
CONGREGATIONS spread rapidly in old
buildings, very little time being al
lowed for escape by the stairway
when the fire commences in the low
err part of the building; egress Is
speedily cut off and the victims are
left to the mercy of the flames.

The Supreme Judges have de-
C ided that the Nevada Orphan Asy-
lum conducted by the Sisters in Flr
ginia City, is sectarian institution,
and justly. That they would so de-
eide was anticipated by all thinking
men unprejudiced by bigotry. A fair
and just investigation into the man
ner of conducting the institution was
made, the information given by the
Sisters themselves, alone stamping it
as sectarian. Should they now see
fit to close the esta blishment, as
threatened In case of an adverse de-
cision, the State will endeavor to take
care of the orphans, There is yet
considerable space at the state
Orphan Asylum that can be utilized
and would not require many altera-
tons to properly house them. We
have nothing to say against the de-
sire of the Sisters to watch over the
spiritual welfare of the children, and
to train them in other religious be-
liefs, and educate them according to
their formula. 1t is natural it should
be so; but we would most streuouslY
object to using the State moneys for
any such purpose, only one other
denomination ever asked for assist
ance, st. Pauls Episcopal, and but
once. Neither do we deny the WORTH
ness or usefulness of the institution
of charity, but its organization must
be continued by the aid of Chart
able gifts. Their co-religionists
would no doubt cheerfully contribute
that others would also assist is
evidenced by the number of priest
ant children now at the school
showing that their guardians are not
prejudicsd in any way. An institu-
ton established for good object
seldom wants for the necessaries to
keep it going. We have enough lib
eral persons of all persuasions, al
ways willing to extend helping
hand, but in case this institution is
not sustained there is no occasion to
believe the children will be any
worse off than they are now; they
will be equally we'll taken care of al
Carson. and any abuse of the Judges
for their decision, covortly, or other
wise, is entirely unnecessary, the
majority of the people upholding
and endorsing their action.

: NEVADA
THE TARIFF.

We are glad to see movement
towards an equitable adjustment OF
the tariff. The Ways and Means
Committee having adopted bill au-
thorizing the President with the ad'
vice and consent of the Senate to
appoint nine commissioners to thor
.oughly investigate all questions re-
iating to industrial, commercial
and other interests of the United
States, SO far as The same may be
necessary to the establishment OF a
iudicious tariff, or a revision of eX-
listing tariff laws upon scale of jus
tice to all interests. Now the COM
comittee has adopted this bill, we
wish to see it acted upon promptly
by Congress, and the commissioners
get to work. At the best, it will be
a long time before they will be able
to reach any conclusions as they have
extensive ground to 60 over, facts to
collect, statistics to gather, in fact all
kinds of information to obtain, and
whether resulting in any good or not
will be very valuable. 1t is move
in the right direction and should be
carried out; but II does not help our
immediate wants, nor does it require
nine commissioners to see that we OF
Nevada, Colorado and Arizona, as
silver producers, are imposed upon
by the present tariff system, nor
would it require great deal of sta
tistical information to prove it, nor
much time to determine method OF
the same, to place US on more equal
footing with other states. Our in
dustries are as much entitled to the
fostering care of the government as
theirs, and the efforts of our western
and other Senators should merit more
attention than they have hitherto
received on this important question,
not only important but vital. We
are at the present moment strug.
Cling for existence. Our exchequer
comparatively empty, and finances
in deplorable condition. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that something be
done, and quickly to save the credit
of our State.
