UE4THER.

There was ali unpleasant amount of weather
abroad yesterday, and unless something can DC
done TO harmonic Virgins and Vennor we arc
likely to have u good deal more presently. The
number of great storms which they In their
fierce rivalry are getting up between them is
nothing less than appalling. AS each is deter
mined not to predict storm which will clash
with any predicted by the other they are ar
ranging double series which are likely to blow
this continent, if not the planet, out Of exist
ence. Something ought to be done at once to
stop this dangerous competition. If the two
prophets could be brought together and in
duced to agree upon one date for one stupendous
blow the planet would be @yanked" safely
from great and threatening peril. 1t is SIM
pie madness for the people of this continent to
sit idly by and allow these frenzied rivals to ride
in fresh whirlwind and direct q new storm
every few minutes We don't want to live in
n perpetual hurricane.
There is ample evidence, at least to satisfy
Virgins, that the storm OF Yesterday was pre-
dicted by him. He said nothing about it in his
original prediction of great storm III March,
but when the jealous remarks of VennOr on
that prediction came to his ears he braced him
self for fresh effort, as who should say
Z" You laugh at me as a prophet, do you9 Well,
IN show you what sort of stuff am made of.
I" If the country wants weather will give it its

for q moment among the planets, which he says
arc his guides, and thus predicted: "From
@the 18th of September last till the middle of

q good deal above the average will happen in
january, but very severe one will strike the

THE CONTROLLERS REPORT.

The annual report of Controller Davenport
is no mere colorless and perfunctory document.
1t not only exhibits the condition of the finances
of the State as they stood at the close of the is
cal year, but it is replete with sen'ible and
timely suggestions and recommendations.
New-York to-day is one of the most prosperous
Of commonwealth. Her debt is but a baga-
telle; her tax rate is reasonably low. lower than
it has been before for quarter of a century her
great trust funds are uninpaired. All this is
most CRAFTY ing, and the policy which Mr.. Day.
export would enforce has only to be adopted
still further to improve the States financial
standing and guard against reverses.
1t will be seen that the trust funds have been
kept closely invested during the year. The
Controller expresses the opinion that close in
vestmeut of snch funds is sound policy, and
there can be no doubt that the opinion is cor
rect. There is notable but unpleasant chapter
in our State history which establishes the

YESTERDAYS FIRE At mILWAUKEE.

YESTERDAYS fIhE al NINA ChEH'
The sickening details OF the -burning of the
Newhall House in Milwaukee emphasizes the
lesson which builders and owners OF theatres
and other places of amusement have been learn
ing through hard experience lately, namely,
that every other consideration must yield to that
of safety. 1t may be said with some truth
when O theatre burns down, and lives are lost,
that people are not obliged to be amused, and
that when they 90 to theatre, in measure
they take the risk upon themselves. But 1t is
often matter of necessity to stay at hotel, and
where one precaution is needed in a place OF
public amusement ten are imperatively de-
manded in house where travellers are obliged
to trust their lives and property. Here was a
huge building full of human beings who had
gone to rest with the assurance that ample pre-
caution against loss of life by fire had been
made. So it was described iii the advertise
ment. But the fact is, the hotel was only an
enormous death-trap, so constructed that in
case of fire just what has happened was una
yoidable. Few insurance companies would as
sumo risks on it at all, and then only at ex-
tremely high rates. What was to be expected
has come. A hundred lives or more have been
destroy ed, and many persons are shockingly, If
not fatally, hurt. Probably the owners and
lessees cannot be held legally responsible for this
awful destruction of human life. But would it
be possible to make out stronger case to fix
their moral accountability We think not.
Naturally, attention for few days will
be directed toward all the hotels of the
country. They will not bear inspection well I;
but the chances are that little will be done to
improve their condition. Swinging gas brack-
cts, uncovered lights, unsafe fues and unpro-
tected stairways will be changed in few in
stances, aud then the matter will be forgotten.
How will the hotels of NewYork bear inspec-
ton They are probably better than most
buildings of their kind, but they are sadly def
Gent in many respects. Our Buildings Bn-
reau is so hampered by lack of money and ade
ouate powers that these structures probably are
neglected too much 1t is plain TO the casual
observer, however, that too great regard is
had for architectural appearances. Fire es-
capes are not ornamental but the hotels ought
TO be made safe even If their entire outsides are
disfgured by balconies and ladders. 1t does
not speak well for the civilization or Christian
ity Of this country and of the century that such
numbers OF human beings can be burned up
every little while in theatres or hotels.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-01-11

wisdom of pursuing that policy. IL happened
some twenty years ago that one Of the great
trust funds was not closely invested Conse-
auently there was opportunity tor borrow
ing from it, The Democratic party was then in
full control in all departments of the State Gov
eminent, and it did not hesitate, at the hands OF
its chosen representatives to avail itself OF THIS
opportunity. Those who impoverished the
fund spoke of what they did as borrowing.
Some other people called it by harsher name.
Let the policy which Mr.. Davenport has pur-
sued and which he recommends he made the
permanent policy of the Controllers office, ana
in all probability not one of the great funds
will ever again be invaded. Another good sug
&c stion of the report is that the College Lana
Scrip Fund and the Elmira Female College
Fund.- which, for reasons pointed out, nave
become depleted, shall be made good. These
funds, as Mr.. Davenport we'll remarks, were
gifts from the State. and so are to be regarded
rather in the nature Of private than public
funds. There will be general acquiescence
in the recommendation in relation to long term
convicts. Agreeing with his two immediate
predecessors in office. Mr.. Davenport is IN FAVOR
of the passage of an act requiring the transfer
of long-term convicts from the penitentiaries TO
State prisons. The pententiaries need the
room, while there are over 1000 vacant cells In
the prisons.
The report strikes sturdy blow at fiagrant
form of swindling to which the State has long
been subjected. We refer to extortionate bills
for the expenses of legislative committees. Too
many committees that are given rowing COM
mission seem to imagine that they must be law
sh in their expenditures by way of keeping up
their dignity. And so, too, some hotel-keepers
have come to regard legislative committees as
the sort of geese that will feel hurt If they are
not plucked to the bone. The Controller, on
the other hand, believing that public money
ought to be spent as prudently as private
money. has not hesitated to take considerable
Inflammation out of an extravaRant bill Tor
committee expenses that came before him, and
TO express his views in regard to the matter In
plain terms. We commend what he says to the
special attention of the members of the present
Legislature.
Mr.. Davenport made an excellent record as
Senator. But he is doing still better service
for the State IN his present position No tax
payer need worry about the finances of New
York while he remains i'll the Controllers oiice.

MUSIC AND TIE DRAMA.
A PARTISAN ROMANCE.

At the Union Square Theatre. last night, A Pa
risian Romance was presented for the first time in
America, and It's performance was seen by numer-
Gus audience, notwithstanding the storm. Tho
production was success of scenery. of elaborate
detail and of remarkable acting. minute synop-
Sis of the piece has already been published in this
journal The work is not so much drama as il il q
series Of sketches of actual society II illustrates
the operation of mercenary greed and of lust and it
depicts aspects of character and Of social life that
are sinister and abhOuent,-and, probably. not
untrue 1t contains but little action and its nara
tive is developed slowly and in a style that pos
sesses very little of either grace force. OF the
morals nothing is to be said. Such al atmosphere
is conceivable and doubtless existent but its
posture is of questionable utility. The acting OF
Mr.. Mansfield, as the senile rome and debauched
reprobate, carried the play last night and made for
the &C or an instantaneous reputation. Miss Sara
Jewett vas welcomed with enthusiasm. Miss Maud
Harrison is to be credited with brilliant success
as the soubrette. This performance had mind,
sparkle, and fine and sustained execution. A" A
Parisan Romance Is one of the most repuisiye
pieces that have come to US from France bur 1t has
interest and general significance enough to hold az
tention here and with such acting and such scenery
it is sure to succeed Mr. Palmer and his scenic
artist were both called out last night, and Mr..
Mansfield had three recalls after the death-scene'
amid tumults of acclamafi0n.

Judging from the first days discussion of
the Tariff bill, the measure will occupy the at
tention of the Senate for two or three weeks.
The internal revenue features of the bill will
not be considered until those relating to the
tariff shall have been acted upon. Although
the consideration of the measure by sections
was begun yesterday, the schedules were not
reached. The part Of the bill considered was
