The Republican papers of Ohio are
still advocates of a Pond license law.
The same papers were previously Op-
posed to license. This shows the con-
sistency of these journals and the con-
sistency Of the party. Their war for the
Union was really war to free the negro
and make him a political machine that
they could use for the benefit of the Re-
publican party. They have slipped up
on this last, and now are mad as ever at
the South, and hence are full of gall and
bitterness and hurl anathemas accord

Mr.. JONES is president of the Mining
Association, and in published state
ment on the condition and causes of the
present strike, he attributes the strike
mainly to the increased cost of living
and the large influx of foreign labor.
He concludes that, if the principle of
protection must continue to exist, it
must apply to labor as well as capital,
and intimates pretty plainly to the Re-
publican party it must do without their
votes to maintain protective tariff un-
less it has a more extended application
than now appears.

THE Republican platform adopted las

THE Republican platform adopted last
week, says:
Resolved, That all laws upon the sta
tute books must be respected and en-
forced until repealed by legislation or
aFrogatPd by legal authority.
The organs will cOnstrue this to mean
the Smith Sunday law. But why not
specify? Why omit to mention this law
and omit to mention the POker-POnd
Legislature. Many laws on our statute
books are a dead letter, not being en-
forced. The twaddle then, about en-
forcing "all laws is nOnsense-a gilt
tering generality.

Famous Theatre Fires.
London Times.

London Times.
Tho most fatal of theatre fires, un-
lees il should turn oui to be surpassed
by the Vienna catastrophe, was the
Saragossa Theatre in ITS, when 600
persons lost their lives. AT the Carle-
rhue Theatre, in lS47, 1875 persons
perished. The burning OF the Opera
House at Nice this year, in which 81
persons were burned or crushed to
death, is still fresh in the public mem
ory. In these islands many theatres
have been burnt down, but some
provideniial charge has always in
lervened to limit the proportion OF
the catastrophe; tho fire had broken
out in the day time, the performance
had net begun or cndcd, or there
were few spectators in the house.
II, for example, the Surrey Theatre,
when il was burnt down in the day
time in 1855, had contained an audi
ence. few would haye escaped alive.
40 rapid was the action OF the fames.
But II all the calsnities' which have
ever overtaken crowd of human
beings in a single building, was the
burulng OF the church of La Campi-
ana. Santiago, 1853, has never been
equalled or approached. In one
short hour 1000 people, nearly all
ladies of youth, rank and beauty,
were reduced to ashes. Every seat
" as full. An acolyte in lighting q
lamp before tho shrine, raised fame
which spread instantaneously. a rush
soon choked the entrance with q
wall OF dead and dying twelve feet IN
height. The melting lead from the
roof and tho blazing oil OF the severa
lamps poured down upon the heads o.
1000 tender women. who could be
seen from the windows of neighbor
ing houses rushing wildly to aud frc
without Oh outlet Of escape. Tht
falling of the roof put an end to theil
agonics, aud completed catastrophe
which stands without parallel.

Capt. Martin Van Buren, Bates, who

the doors OF the domicile OF the Bates
giants are ten feet high, and the knobs
are nearly as high as the reporters
head. The house was built by Capt.
Bates in 1876, and is elegantly fur
nished. In the main building Oh the
ground floor are, besides the spacious
hall, tho bed chamber Of the giants, a
sitting room and parlor. The couch
upon which the big couple sleep was

ordinary sized floor. Ii is really ten
feet long, wide in proportion, and
abont twice as high as common bed.

a huge affair, with a glass upon II
neaaly y as big as the side of house.
