THE SCHOOL DISASTER.
A Jury of Inquest Impaneled by the
Coroner.

NEW YORK, February 2l.-The coroner
this morning selected jury TO investigate
the causes of the fatal school disaster yes
terdsy. Crowds to-day visited the place and
discussed the terrible affair. Many were
loud in their depuncistions of the clergy
men in permitting the staircase, which they
saw has been in frsil condition for some
time past, to remain without being properly
strengthened. Those injured will recover.
The bodies of the dead children will be
brought to the church of the Most Holy
Redeemer tomorrow morning, where fu-
neral services will be conducted. The
church will be drsped in mourning. The
bodies have been inclosed in neat rosewood
caskets, bearing on silver plates the names
and ages of the little unfortunstes. 1t is
thought they will all be inferred in Calvary
Cemetery.
The examination Of the records Of the
Building Department fails 10 show that the
report on the condition had been made, from
which it is inferred that If an examination
was made of the place it was deemed to be
in coed condition. An inspection OF the
building shows doorways only two and one
half feet wide, and open inward, fairly on
the end OF the benches, so as 10 allow no
passage room, and with aisles narrow and
blocked with stoves. The exits everywhere
opened on q dark and narrow hallway.

ing. This disintegrative tendency is receiv-
ing impulse, also, BY the increasing amount
of legislation in vindicstion of the peo-
pies rights, the formation of State csmmis-
sions, and decisions of courts unfavorable
to the unjust and unauthorized claims by
aid of which 30 much wrong has been per-
petrated. That mouopelies hold their Privi-
leges primarily for the public benefit, aud
emily secondarily for the profit of stockhold-
ers, has become a settled legal prin-
ciple and one that will gradu-
ally correct many abuses. When the
power of monopolists TO buy up rivals
Ia exhausted, as it must be in given time,
for the success each rival meets with induces
another rival to start new demands and re-
quire 8 new divide, the arm of monopoly
will be broken, and ordinary business
methods resume their sway. But the time
of transcision is cure to be time of com.
mercisl trouble and disturbance. The last

way in which monupolies- defeat their own
ends and die Of their own excuses. And yet
how many of the great properties represented
on the Stock Exchange seem 10 be now yerg-
ing toward this disastrous contamination.
There can be no question that the gradually
developing danger in this direction is begin
ming to arrest the attention OF thoughtful
class of investors. But, as in the case OF
most new movements, it is perhaps more the
subject of silent thinking than of open talk
ing-not on that account, however, the less
influential" When these results arrive and
tn. monopolists' power for mischief is plainly
demonstrated, public feeling against monOp-
oily will not con6ne itself TO railways and
telegraph lines; monopolies in iron, salt,
sugar and other articles will be subjected
alse TO their just doom.

goes, by Gambrinus, legendary king.
Though the popularity of that beverage on
the Continent dates but a century back, it
seems destined to conquer Europe, and to
drive out wine eventually. Mr.. Rieber
proves by copious statistics that it has al
ready invaded the south Of France, and that
it is rapidly making its way in Italy. The
reason which he assigns for this universal
success is not little curious. Beer, it seems,
is the only liquor which one can drink and
enjoy while smoking; so II ct it may be said

The people are becoming heartily dis
gusted with the system of monopoly that
ever since the war has been making the coun-
try at large tributary to a comparatively
small number of individuals The conse-
quence ia that, since the war, there has been
more millionaires, and they possessing more
millions than was ever previously known in
the United States. As a necessary conse-
quence Of the accumulation of large masses
of the national wealth in few hands, many
citizens have less wealth than is required for
comfort than formerly. There are more peo-
pie dependent upon charity, aud when food,
or epidemic, or other calamity brings hard
ship, the people are less prepared to bear the
strain, and have TO look for aid 10 pri.
vate charity, State aid and con-
gressional grants. These facts are
arousing attention, and intelligent and
active citizens are striving to organizs op.
position to the evil that is the cause of go
much distress. A national convention will
meet at Chicago on the Fourth of July,
when measures will be laid before the peo-
pie for the check of the system OF monopoly

There are alse causes in operation within
monopoly itself that tend, in some degree, to
obstruct its vicious course For instance, a
railroad menopolises the carrying trade of
certain district of country, over which it
domineers, discriminates and EFFORTS at will =.
Its enormous profits prompts the buildIng of
4 rival road. II the new road carry on an
independent business, the strife between the
two will decrease profits. This is agreeable
to neither party, for both desire to prey
upon the public for their own bene.
ft, not upon each other for the public
benefit, so the two roads either combine, or
spool" their earnings, and thus continue the
game Of monopoly. Their success induces
the construction of another rival line, which
has to be taken into the monopoly in its
turn. The success of the last operation in
duces others, until a period is coming when
the plan of absorbing or pooling with rivals
can no longer be carried on, and this is the
