GREAT FIRE IN MADISON,

Yesterday our University had O scien-
tific department unsurpassed in America;
this morning Science Hall lies in ruins
and Wisconsin suffered a material loss Of
2200,00 At bali past eight o'clock last
night the alarm was sounded and in a
few minutes thousands were thronged
around the chief building of our Univer-
sity. The fire is supposed to have orig
mated in the engine room, though before
it was discovered several Of the adjoining
rooms were ablaze. The fire department
is the most remarkable III the north west.
if inefficiency be the essential requisite.
1t WAS fully thirty-fve minutes from the
time the alarm WAS given until the first
stream was poured, and at no tims could
more than two faint jets be brought to
bear on q fire that was famed by no
breeze. When the work of pouring wa
ter began, instead of taking measures to
save the part not reached by the fire, the
thoughtful managers began to fight the
flames where they wee fed by material
which burned like kindIing. The north
wing OF the building was first burned
and the flames had completed their havoc
before the brave firemen made change
of base. At first it seemed as though
the center and sonth half conld be saved.
but as no steps were taken to fight the
flames, except where they had been
doing the most effective work, the fire
gradually spread until the entire upper
story was abaze. The feeble engines
stood idle while the hydrants were unable
to furnish force to throw an occasional
dash to the fourth story. Water was
poured into the third story, but the fall
ing in of the roof soon gave that part to
the devouring element, and in moment
Ill hope fed and it was conceded that
the noble building would become total
wreck. The fire company nothing daunt-
ed and probably believing it their duty
to make a successful demonstration of
the weakness of the department, poured
on the powerless stream until the by
drants ceased to flow, when all Madison
retired at eleven o'clock to contemplate |
the ruin which little promptness to act |
might have checked, and which even a
Waterman kept TO guard the building,
might have averted.
The loss to the state IS irreps rable;
the building itself cost about 100000
and was the most serviceable connected |
with the institution. But the museums

THE liquor interest is receiving some
attention now from those who give atten-
ton to law making. The position OF the
saloon keepers is not very much improv-
ed by the success of the democratic par
ty. They have earned the resentment of
the republicans and movement is now
afoot to raise the license in this state,
and the move will likely be successful
IF there should he an increase the license
should be graded. As it is at present
the small saloon pays as heavy tax as
the largest. The saloon license for Mil
waukee is ridiculously small, and Ger
tainly should be raised. Five hundred
dollars for Milwaukee is not out Of pro-
portion to S75 for Manitowoc and other
places of like size. Why tho republi-
cans should all at once blossom into hos
tility toward the saloons, it is not very
easy to understand. There can be no
question that the large republican ma
jority in Ohio was owing to the active
work of the saloon keepers. 1t may be
that the high license movement is de-
signed to kill off the prohibitionists, as
it certainly will have that effect. A high
license will leave them practically with
out an issue. What stand the democrats
will take upon the question in the Wis.
consin legislature, is not yet indicated
by them. The majority of them will
probably oppose any Increase

The republican papers which are low
urging with such persistency the obser,

themselves what they would advise if

lican party was about to assume power
after long deprivation of it, No one
can deny that there is horde of hungry
democrats looking for Office. But is
there not voracious crowd of republi-

been relied upon to do valiant party
service, even by staining their ermine
Bradley knows what is expected Of him,
and he has never yet given diappoint

this sudden concern for civil service
laws, little iusincere? There are many
persons in the minor offices who should

ABOUT the strongest objection which
was urged against Cleveland as a presi-
dental candidate, was that he had not
taken such part in public matters and
bad not been sufficiently leader in poll
tics TO entitle him to be the standard
bearer of great party. In this respect
he was an insignificant figure compared
with Blaine. But during the entire
campaign the quiet digniiy of his con
duet was in striking contrast to the i'm
petuous, undignifed though brilliant
campaign Of his opponent. Since the
close of the election Blaine seems to
have thrown prudence to the wind, while
the man who few short years ago was
an obscure mayor, and who had nothing
to recommend him except habit to per
form his official duties well, has acted
With dignity suited to the high position.

is q promise of good things for the ad-

before he was thrust mo promineucr as
a national leader.

The very strong endorsement given to

effected wonderful cures have rendered
his movements Of much interest to the

well authenticated that no one can doubt
his competence to do just what he pro-
fesses to do; and as there are but few

manner in which they have gone to work
