1t does not speak well for the Repub-
licans of Vermont that they have renOm-
inated-and will elect-Poland. That
eminent Republican statesman, so-csllei,
VINO regards it as his special mission, as
a member of Congress from the distant
Green Mountain State, to watch over and
protect the welfare of the negro in the
South, was. it will be remembered, re-.
tired from public life some years ago
because of his intimate connection with
the back pay, salary grab, and other
questionable pieces of Radical legisla-
ton. He is a splendid specimen of the
modem Radical philanthropist, but it
would have been more creditable to the
''Yairmounters" if they had have per-
mitted him to rusticate for the remainder
of his natural existence.

Fires.

Three fires in single day in Savan-
nah is very rare occurrence-so rare
indeed as to excite suspicion that the
disasters of Thursday may perhaps be
due to the operations of an industrious
incendiary in our midst We learn that
of these fires, one-that which broke
out at the Academy of st. Vincent de
Paul during the day-was caused by
sparks; of the origin of the other two,
however, nothing satisfactory is known.
The first lntimatiOn that the public had
of a fire in the store of Mr. Cohen, on
BrOughtOn street. Thursday evening, was
that it was all sblaze inside, while when
the fire in the establishment of Mr.. Bond
was discovered, about twelve o'clock
Thursday night, it had evidently been
smOuldering for some time, and had
made such Roadway that it could not be
extinguished until after it had seriously
injured that gentleman and endangered
the adjacent buildings.
The origin of all these fires should be
thoroughly investigated. 1t is not IN
likely that the destruction of Mr.. Bonds
warehouse was the result of sponta-
neous combustion of the hay therein
stored, while we learn that the burn
ing of Mr.. Cohen's store is attributed
to a kerosene lamp. which was
either turned over in some way or
exploded. These are but suggestions,
however, and the matter ought not to be
allowed to rest without a searching in.
vestigation If these fires were the result
of accident, then the nature of the acct
dents should be known, so that similar
disasters hereafter may be guarded
against, while if they were the work
of an incendiary or incendiaries, it is of
the utmost Importance that the miscre
ant or miscreants be discovered, if pos
sible, that he or they may be brought to
justice.
A fire is always very serious affair.
1t not only jeopardizes property other
than that which it destroys, but it infiicts
a dead loss on somebody. Even if the
parties, so unfortunate as to be burned
out, have their property covered by insu-
rance, it is still a loss to the insurance
companies, and is really that much
money burned up. This should make
both insurance companies and the city
authorities vigilant in investigating the
causes of all fires, with the view of
preventing future misfOrtunes. We
believe that, at one time. there was a
law requiring this, and, if it is not now
on the statute books, it should be re-en-
acted. Such law is due to the sufferers
by fire, the insurance companies and the
general public.

We but voice the sentiment of the pub
lie in the three States of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, when we say that
the maintenance of Sspelo station is of
the first importance to the health
of this section. The House, which,
under a suspension of the rules, without
one word of debate, voted away one hun
dred millions of the public funds for
pensions, and which, despite the Presi-
dents veto, gave away at least five mil
lions for improving streamlets and duck
ponds, yesterday voted to cut down the
amount for the support of the Federal
quarantine. $4,000, the amount voted
by the Senate, was paltry enough, and
yet virtuous (O statesmen like Robson,
Hiscock, and others, acclaimed against
this extravaganza, and succeeded in hav-
ing the appropriation emasculated.

The fourteen regular appropriation
bills for the year ending 90 June 30th
next show an aggregate of 1924, 513,6 500.
For the year ended on June Both last,
the appropriations amounted to $685.
694. 1888. 1t thus appears that the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government are
to be nearly 100000 greater than
they were last year. This is the measure
of Republican extravaganza for this
year. The purpose of the enormous in
crease is well understood. 1t is to so
nearly exhaust the surplus of the Treas
ury as to render impossible any reduc-
ton of taxation.

The Bridgeport (Connecticut) Farmer
hits the nail right squarely on the head
when it says: Upon what issue does
the Republican party go before the peo-
pie in November next ? None at ALL
1t can make no valid claim to popular
approval. 1t has refused to reduce taxa
ton, although the burden is very great.
1t has not only failed to order economy
in the administration of the government,
but it has actually taken the opposite
direction and increased the appropria-
tions by about 100000. 1t has de-
clined to reform the tariff and has referred
that question to a commission packed
against reform. 1t has not only neg
lected to carry into effect its platform
professions of devotion to civil service
reform, but it has brazenly repudiated
them by levying political assessments.
1t has failed at every point to regard the
true interests of the people. No one is
better aware of the fact than the party's
managers, and yet they are fully conf
dent of success in the November cleo
tiOns. They intend to purchase success,
TO corrupt the balance of power among
the voters.

A CRISIS IN THE IRON STRIKE.
T0e NaeIODaI Tube Works 30 Start
Up with Non-UniOn Men.

Pittsburg dispatch dated 3lst ult. says:
'Tne crisis in the iron strike is at hand.
To day notices posted at the National Tube
Works, NICK eesport, informed the striking
employees that it was the intention OF the
1rm to start up the mill with nOn-union
men, and directed all to report for duty at
noon to- morrow or consider themselves dis
charged. This is the largest coEcern Of the
Kind in the country, and the experiment will
be closely watched by both manu- facturers
and working men. In the tubeworks pro-
per- l 300 men are employed. In the rolling
and heating departments there are about
sixty. The Amalgamated Association officers
are reticent concerning the new departure,
contenting themselves with asserting that
the firm will not be able to secure men. The
firm. on the other hand, feel confident that
a sufficient force will be on hand at the time
designated Ia the notices, and that there
will be a big break in the ranks of the Anal
gamated Association. Two Union heaters,
1t is alleged, signed the contract to-day.
Leading lights of the Amalgamated AssO-
citation have left for Chicago, where the ma
tional convention of the organization opens
tomorrow. Several Leading manufacturers
are inclined to think that the result Of the
meeting will have an important effect upon
the strike. One of them said: "We have
now been Idle two months, and there
has been no advance to speak OF In the
price of iron. Had we been running on all
this time iron would now be down much
lower. This fact in itself will show the
conservative element In the association that
the manufacturers were in the right, and al
the forthcoming meeting the common sense
of the organization will assert itself and
look for some means to settle the matter"
Late tonight It was ascertained that three
large mills in this district, in addition to he
National Tube Works, will start up with
non-union men before the end of the week.
Two Of these are believed TO be those of
Lewis, Oliver & Phillips, one situated in
Allegheny, and the other in Pittsburg, en-
ploying $500 workmen. The informant
would not give lhe Times correspondent
hint as to the other mill, merely saying it
was big concern.

The President deserves credit for en-
aeayoring to save the Treasury from II
LEGAL drains upon 1t for the alleged i'm
movements of alleged rivers, etc. But,
he lost a much better chance to show his
crit when he signed the pension swindle.
That takes $1GO, 600, 600 of the peoples
money at one fell swOop, and, by far,
the greater portion of it viii go into the
nockets-not of crippled sOldiers-but
of hale and hearty pension agents, who
are as innocent as unborn babes of even
the smell of gunpOwder.
