NUMrsMArIcAL BxrRAvAGAEcE.

The sentiment inspiring the search for
antiquities that will shed light upon
otherwise dim historical pages, it is
easy to understand. But it is more diff.
ficult to comprehend the enthusiasm that
moves the numismatical devotee to pay
$500 for five-cent piece. In the flush
days of California the hardy pioneer ex-
perienced a large heartedness that made
him look upon $500 with contempt. Later
on the same representative of singularly
improvident class has lived in the pinching
hour, when he would gladly have sacri.
feed the $500 to secure the half dime, il
the latter was the only approach to a
square meal" But how about the man
who bought at the Newlin numismatical
sale in Philadelphia the other day five.
cent piece of the mintage of 1904, and paid
for it the snug sum named? 1t is true the
coin is very rare-so rare that there Is moi
one in the cabinet Of the Philadelphia
Mint but as the buyer was not of the
Spectator class, it must be assumed he
bought the coin from the excess of enthu
siasm he feels in regard to the science o.
coins and medals. So far as coins illustrate
history by their impression of images, and
their superscriptions, the value they have
when rare, rises superior to that they had
as circulating mediums but one cannot
but think of all the good the possessol
of that $500 who paid it for the half-dimt
of 1904, could have done with the money
in this world of needs.

1t is not to be questioned that there are.
as the New York Times phrases it, many
Americans, who are not of Irish birth or
descent, who think that England has not
even yet retraced the terrible errors which
her best men acknowledge that she has
made in the past in her treatment of Ire
land" But neither this fact, nor En-.
glands blunders and errors, can temper
the sense of horror all well.disposed Amer
lean citizens feel at the gradually develop
ing conspiracies by misguided men and
willful and villainous assassins to wage
war with dynamite, and to bury women
and children in the ruins Of falling build
ings. No revolution is to be accomplished
in this way. 1t now appears, if the latest
reports from New York are to be given
full credit. that the most, if not all, the
recent dynamite schemes originated in
New York city. The Sun publishes the
statements of members of associations
maintained in New York for the very pur.
pose of fostering this infamous policy.
Young Lynch, on the stand in Bow street,
swears that he was a member, and that the
sole object of the society was to make and
forward Internal machines from America to
England. A factory of dynamite torpedoes
and internal machines, designed for En-
gland, has been unearthed in Philadelphia.

vocacy of these methods. Patrick Egan

THE LESSON 1T TEACHES.

The catastrophe of yesterday morning,
in which the wall of building on bust
ness street, without apparent cause, fell
out, crushed lower building and killed
number of citizens, should not pass with.
out its lesson being made valuable to the
community. Here was a building used
for public assemblies, where several hun.
dred people have at different times during
the past fifteen years gathered in conven-
tions balls, fairs, lodges, etc., which sud-
denly went to pieces, and it developed that
its west wall, and presumably the entire
shell, was not adequate to sustain the
strain put upon it. 1t is now charged
also that there has been knowledge for a
long time of the insufficiency OF the walls,
but the former and present owners deny
this. Certainly they were too slender,
were Embraced and RECONSTRUCTED. In the
mass of conflicting stories how current thus
much is true, that Grand Army Hall was
death-trap. The rafters piercing its eight.
inch upper walls tended to still more in
crease its insecurity, and the debris, it is
charged, shows that the cement or mortar
of the masonry was not sufficiently te-
nacious. The investigation to be pro.
ceeded with by the Coroner's jury should
go to the bottom of all possible inquiry in
this matter, and be conducted by a jury of
practical aud fearless men. This, the
Coroner announces, will be done. 1t would
answer the purposes of the law for the jury
to find the cause of the death of the seven
men to be the falling wall. But that will
not suffice. Why did the wall fall Whose
fault is it that such an unsafe wall was con-
structed! Who is to blame for permitting
so insecure structure to be used for pub
lie assemblies? Is there need for an official
inspection of all buildings now stand
ing, and of supervision of all to be con-
structed, during the course of erection
To the latter portion of the last
question there can be but one answer, and
ton the answer should be affirmative also,
but perhaps be confined to examination of
brick buildings. But we confess to have
very little faith that anything Of this kind
will be done. When Moore's Opera House
fell in and buried score of victims on
Second street the whole community was
up in arms for a month or more, demand
ing frequent periodical official inspection of
public buildings, and it was understood
that il should be done. When the edge of
the horror had worn off the matter was
forgotten. The press called attention to
the subject until it saw that the authori.
ties intended to neglect all the promised
precautions, and SO the matter dropped.
Shall that experience be repeated in this

A SHARP LESSON IN MONARCHY.

There was an inchoate form of repre-
sentative or popular government in the
Crown colony Jamaica, but this has
been, by the wrangling of local politi-
clans, obliterated. They have just worked
the removal OF Governor Musgrave, and at
the same time have brought about their
ears something they little anticipated.
Formerly the people, by representatives.,
had voice in the Governors Council,
in this probational form of representation,
and which with England always precedes
the experiment of a T" free colony.
Now, with the changes invited by
petty malcontents, the Home Government
has ordered that any three OF the official
members of the Council may legislate
without the presence of any of the repre-
sentatives of the electors. As a conse.
quence, representatives will fall into dis
repute they will possess no influence in
the Council the people will find no COM
pensation in electing them, and so the mere
form even will fall into disuse, and the rep
resentative branch of the Council be aban.
doned. The representatives brought on the
new order in attempting to negative the in
huence of the Governor and his Coun-
Gil by refusing to attend and legislate. The
order to legislate without them came, in a
logical sequence, and the people were sud
denly recalled to realization of the fact
that the Crown means something in an
English colony, after all.

the assassination policy. Amember OF sne
Clan-na. Gael tells New York reporter that
Lynch, the London informer, tells the trutn.
The Irish societies of New York adopted
resolution declaring that while they recog-
nized Parnell as representative Irishman,
1--WE cannot receive him as representative
of the only policy that tends to Irish free
DOM" The Irish World, heretofore favor
ing only peaceful agitation, pronounces Tor
the dynamite policy. In view, therefore,
of all these facts and the indications that
the Philadelphia Convention will refuse to
condemn "war by explosives. it may be
accepted that the dynamite schemes have
largely originated in America and been
supported by organizations on this side of
the world, and this fact must cause ssnsi-
tive Americans both shame and sorrow.
These things must give rise to grave con-
siderations, and while it is improbable that
our Government will take any action in
the premises under the present treaties,
which do not include for extradition insti-
gators of murder, it may be safely assumed
that the time is not far distant when the
treaties will be so amended as to make it
very dangerous in America to render aid to
foreign assassins.

EUROPE.

There is distrust among the powers on
the continent. The unfriendly attitude of
Italy toward France, on account of the
lost Nice and Savoy territory and the
Tunis occupation; the rumored readiness
of Germany to engage in war with France;
the alliance that has existed between the
German and Austrian Governments for four
years, and to which Italy has now been
admitted, notwithstanding the GOODNESS
between Prince Bismarck and King Hum
bert the rumor that Russia stands ready
to befriend France, if the internal Difficult.
ties of the latter are seized upon as pre-
text for assault-all speak of a threatening
condition of affairs in Europe. But, after
all, this threat may be Elusive. Defensive
alliances are not necessarily precursors of
war. Defensive compacts, fragile as they
are in Europe, are in encouragement of
the offensive attitudes of others, and
often prevent their elimination. The
dynamite policy naturally tends to
draw monarchists into closer SYM
pathy, but it must be admitted
that such unions under such circum-
stances result in the heel of monarchial
rule being more firmly and irratiably
planted upon the subject. 1t is in the
nature of monarchy that it cannot guard
against the contingency of assault without
inviting it by the rigor of the methods en-
ployed to prevent it. Signor Mancini, of
the Italian Bureau of Foreign Affairs, has
officially announced that the defensive tri-
partite alliance is intended solely to pre-
serve the peace of Europe. This is proba-
bly, strictly true, but it ia also true that
such alliances are easily broken they are
indeed the creatures of ever impending
doubt and uncertainty. Therelis then, after
all that may be said, no news from Europe
to enable Americans to settle upon any
satisfactory judgment as to the real aims
and purposes of the parties to the new
alliance, but there is at least sufficient
known to show that common fear will
prevent any immediate war on the CONT.
nent, and that whatever other purposes
may have moved Austria, Germany and
Italy to lock arms, the desire to advance
republican sentiments, or encourage repub.
lican forms of government, was not one of
them.

BANKING IN NEW YORK.

Recently new financial institution, the
Produce Exchange Bank, was founded in
New York. A call was made for SUBJ
soription of 81, 900. 600 to its capital stock
Immediately and eagerly $4,000, 900 were
subscribed. This quick and over response
the New York Evening Post attributes to
the reduction of taxes on banks, by which
strong Inducements are made to invest
ment of money in banking capital, $50
much needed in New York" In the past
ten years bank capital in that city was de.
creased $l6,000,000, while deposits in
creased 500, 100000 THU was due to
overtaxation mainly. 1t demonstrates how
excessive taxation defeats it's own ends and
incites property to flee from all taxation.
"Wish the repeal of the national revenue
taxes" says our contemporary, " the Sl6,-
600, 900 which had melted away from the
banking resources of the city and gone
into other investments ought to be gradu-
ally replaced, together with as much more,
in order that banking capital may keep
pace witt the growth of the city in other
directions. If the hope of the Post is
realized, banking in New York will resume
it's former healthful tone, and which is
found where the proportion between CAPT.
tai and deposits is judiciously preserved.

case? There are numerous buildings in
this city occupied by large assemblies at
times, concerning which the authorities are
not advised as to their strength and do not
manifest anxiety to be informed. This
journal recently urged the authorities to
examine the exits of public halls and
buildings and ascertain if they are
sufficient, and if the doors swing
outward. Beyond a glance at a school,
house or two nothing has been done.
There is not public building in this city
that is not defective in exits, with soil
tary exception, Armory Hall. With that
exception, too, we believe all the doors
open inward, save possibly in the case of
one or two churches. But we can name
one large hall and one large church which
in case of panic will prove admirable
death-traps for audiences. In one case the
doors swing inward, and the approach is
so steep that crowd would never be able
to descend safely. In the other, four sections
Of the church discharge by two narrow
exits upon steep curved descent in a con-
fined lobby. which will as certainly be
blocked up with human bodies as that a
panic occurs in an audience in the struc-
ture. There are old brick buildings on our
chief streets the walls of which may be as
threatening as those of Army Hall have
proven death-dealing. Neglect becomes a
crime when warning has been given. This
latest disaster constitutes warning that
must not be neglected. Let the Trustees
see to it at once that ordinary precautions
are taken, that some competent man or
men inspect public buildings, and that the
exits of all halls, churches and school.

SPEEDY TRIAL.

1t is altogether probable that Curley,
one of the convicted Phoenix Park assas-
sins, is guilty of completely in the murder
of Burke and Lord Cavendish, but the
haste manifest in his trial, and the charg.
ing of the Court upon matters of fact,
creates natural surprise here. We have
for years deplored the slow processes of
our Courts, but the English tribunal in this
Curley case seems to have gone to the other
extreme. OF course until the detailed re.
port of the trial comes to hand, and until
the charge of the Court to the jury is read
in full, it will not do to judge too severely.
As 1t now appears, the trial was rushed, s"
and the Court was not as impartial as are
American Courts in murder cases. To say
the least, the Curley trial was marked by
unnecessary haste, and by disposition
tnat history, when it comes to be written,
will not commend nor consider as in the
interests Of justice.

CONSTITUTIONAL crisis impends in Norway 1t
is the result OF long agitation. In Norway monarchy
is restrained by broadly liberal Constitution. It
was the outgrowth OF attempt Of Denmark to
retain supremacy. The Danish Prince, for whose

Constitution remains. Under it the crown veto is
effective for but three years. Thus the representa-

sistence. But to amend the Constitution a two
thirds vote of the Strothing is necessary, and
doubt arises as to the right TO override the royal
veto Of amendment proposed; hence the pres
