A MISTAKE.

The editor of the Moline Despatch ha.
allowed himself to be drawn into a discus
sion with the publisher of a certain weekly
in this burg. 1t was mistake. Any per
son having any respect or regard for his
association will keep as far away as pos
sible from said odoriferous publisher. His
record is one that smells to high heaven,
and if any person would desire to keep
himself uncontaminated he would preserve
a safe distance.
The aforesaid publisher has written
unto himself letter stating his position as
war democrat. Major Beardsley did
more to make him war democrat than
anything else, and ex-Sheriff Paine can
tell story apropos of his sympathies at
that time that would be both amusing and
instructive. An arrant demagogue, he
should receive no federation.

SOCIETY PAPERS.

Every once in while man appears on
this mundane sphere who imagines that
he is called upon to regulate social matters
through the medium of newspaper, and
that the small modicum Of brains and in
telligence God was kind enough to grant
him was solely for the purpose of telling
an inattentive public what few girls " ore
at the last party. and what social butter
flies of the male persuasion gathered at
said party.
These men constitute themselves editors
of SO called society papers, and proceed
to attempt to make living out OF the
recognized human desire Of mast people
to see their name in print. All of this
is perhaps well enough and deserving of
ne especial rebuke, unless said editors get
beyond their depth and investigate matters
and things of which they know nothing
Of This tendency was well illus
trated in the last number of the
weekly, published in Davenport
styled Tie People which not only INDUCED
in an editorial ON the tariff question
wherein it displayed an ignorance that
would be p1tiable in a ten year old school
boy, but also INDUCED in an attempted
classical allusion that was merely Imaginable.
1t spoke of ssthat noble Roman Lars Por-
sena who held the bridge against an army
when it is person entirely ignorant of the
matter referred too who does not know
that it was Uonatiuss who held the bridge
and Lars Porsena was the head of this I'm
vading army. There is no harm in such
ignorance but il is better not TO display ii
in cold type; it is apt to argue against the
other intelligence of the party making the
reference, The assumption is that such an
editor" had best eonfne himself to very
young girls and very old women and let
other and more serious matters alone.

building. Here we "see" that Mr. Potter
was notwilling to take advantage of a
permit to build because he thought it
would not be perfectly safe. We do not
seq froFa this statement That he was not
willing to double his walls because it
would cost money. Neither do we
s.seep any intimation that he had applied
for and obtained from Mr. Esterbrook' .
predecessor. Dudley, who is charged in an
untried Indictment with corruption and
incompetency, a permit to build seVerai
additional stories without Strengthening
the walls ait all, which permit was revoked
by Mr. Esterbrook, : who has not been charg-
ed with corruption or ineempetency. Mr..
Potter was therefore willing to take ad-
vangtage of permit to build which did
not require him to strengthen his walls at
all, but Thought It would not be perfect
ly SAFE to build when he was required to
strengthen his walls in very expensive
manner.
The sruth seems to be about this. Mr..
Potter was the owner of dangerous build
ing which returned him half its value every
year in rent Mr.. POTTER is not fool and
must therefore have been perfectly aware
of the character of the building which he
owned But if he had pulled it dewn and
put up decent building in its place he
could not have expected to receive fifty
per cent of the cost of decent building.
and might have had to put up with SO low
return as twenty-five. Moreover he
would have had to forego any income from
the premises during the processes OF demo
hilton and construction. When newer and
better buildings in the neighborhood made
it absolutely necessary for him to recon
struet his finder box or see it abandoned
by all its tenants, he would probably have
rebuilt it. That time has now very nearly
if not quite arrived. But if Mr., Potter
had pulled down The building, plainly
doomed as it was, he would have lost its
value Now that his building has burned
down. the underwriters are expected
to pay for it instead of Mr..
Potter. Is it to be imagined that an
owner regrets the loss of such building?
In fact, if Mr.. Potter is not held to any
civil or criminal responsibility for the dis
aster nothing more fortunate and timely
could possibly have happened to him than
the destruction of his building. His felic-
ity viii in that case be unbroken, except
BY his possible regrets at the death of the
unfortunate people who persisted by reason
of their own panic-stricken condition in
spite of every precaution" which he had
taken for their safety, regardless OF ex-
pense. But whether he is to escape all
responsibility is, as the courts say in this
part of the country, a question for the
jury There are regions in which it would
be more st1mmarily answered. -z...s.

The late fire in New York has been the
cause of considerable discussion as to the
rights which occupants of buildings have
that fair amount Of safety in their occu.
pancy shall be enjoyed. That fire caused
horrible loss of human life, loss render
ed necessary only by the misery censtruc-
ton of the buildings and it seems as If
times must come to such pass that ten
ants viii have some rights which landlords
are bound to respect.
In all large cities the question is SER
ious one. and if the owners of large build
ings are not willing to see to it without
coercion, then attack them where they will
feel it the most; in person and more than
that in pocket.
