The fire yesterday in Charity Hospital on
Blackwelrs Island, like the one which occurred
recently IN the Lunatic Asylum on Wards
Island, was promptly put out without loss of
oil j, ltor
over thousand poor creatures in the buildings
In each case the physicians in charge have
shown noteworthy presence of mind. 1t is
reassuring to know that the arrangements for
fighting fire in the city's charitable institutions
are as thorough as these two incidents show
them to be.
The members of the Central Labor Union are
amost ungracious lot. Mr. Felix Adler, OF the
Society of Ethical Culture, recently offered to ar
range and pay for four concerts to which themem-
bers of this organization and their families were
tobe admitted free The object, ofcOurse, was TO
provide them with refined and eleyating pleas
ure. But yesterday at a meeting of the union
member rose and suggested that inquiry
should be made as to Mr.. Adler's "ulteriOr mo-
tivesn in making this Offer and although no
investigation was ordered, the idea seemed to
meet with general favor. This is the finest
specimen of unalloyed ingratitude that we have
noticed for long time.
The diamond robbery in Brooklyn yesterday
was particularly daring piece Of business. A
jewelry store in Futon-st. was entered in broad
daylight, the safe, which could be easily seen
from the street. was pried open and precious
stones worth over 81, 600 were carried away in
safety. BY a remarkable coincidence, a sales
man had visited the store earlier in the morn
ing and then had gone away for two hours,
carelessly leaving the burglar alarm' discOn-
nected. While he was absent the thieves did
their work. This makes matters look bad for
the clerk but it is only fair TO say that the po
lice do not suspect him of completely in the
crime.
The announcement that the Cleveland Paper
Company, the largest of its hind in the West has
made an assignment has caused much wonder at
Cleveland and elsewhere, though 1t cannot have |
been unknown there or here that the state OF |
the trade for some time has been such as to try |
the strongest concerns. The concerted suspen- !
sion of work in large number of mills at the |
West, not long ago, called attention TO the fact |
that reproduction had occurred in this |
industry, as IN some others. 1t cannot be SAID |
that misfortune in this branch is due 10 large
foreign imports; for the imports III this line are
less than one ton yearly for 900 tons made in
this country, and in value less than $200,000.
The value of paper of domestic manufacture is
over $55, 100000 yearly.
What Inc policy of the Democrats in Con-
gress is TO be Oh the tariff question this winter
has not yet been disclosed; but rumors of all
sorts are flying about Washington in regard TO
the matter. The subject has not been intro
1uced in the Ways and Means Committee, but
Colonel Morrison, the chairman, it is said, will
soon propose bill making horizontal reduc-
bon of the duties on some imports and plac-
ing others on the free-list. Mr. Randall, on
he Appropriations Committee, however, is
bland and serene, and consequently Is sus-
