CINCINNATI, March 3O.-To day the

one. Everywhere solemnity prevailed.
Tho appalling loss of property and fright

the realization of an awfal calamity. II
anything could intensity the honest in

outbreak the revelations this morning
w0uld do it. There WAS noticeable
absence OF mere curiosity seekers flocking
to the scene to-day. The place seemed
to be regarded with dread and at noon,
when the weather was delightfully."-
| pleasant, there was not so much travel
on the streets in that vicinity as is usual
on ordinary Sundays. True, Colonel
| Hawkins had extended his lines by bar
ricading sll the streets leading to the
court house for the distance Of square
and the opportunity for seeing was not
good. Still there seemed to be lack oi
desire to crowd about the place.
Deep feeling against the militia waH
manifested the time. Rvery now and
then stones were thrown at them when
ever opportunity offered. This became &c
annoying that, so far as practicable, the
police were placed next to the people
Epithets were shouted and threats were
not wanting, whether in earnest or fol

The second story of the house was built
entirely OF wood, and, on account of its
solid Foundation OF stone aud sand, was
free from all vibration. The wooden walls
enclosed one room, entrance to which was
gained from the outside by steps from the
ground. At the side of the building
were also the nsrrow-gause tracks,
elevated on trestles, up which mules
drew the tanks Of acid. Two tanks were
usually drawn up at time, each con-
tanning about 1000 pounds of mixture,
composed one-third of nitric and two
thirds Of sulphurio acid. Inside the
wooden second-story where the explo-
sion il believed to have taken
place, in the centre OF the floor,
stood a huge iron kettle or vat. Inside of
this was another, and in the space
between the two current OF cold water
was kept continually flowing. Inside Of
the inner kettle were coiled several
hundred feet of lead pipe, through which
cold water was also kept running, the
object being to keep down the
temperature Of the mixture In the kettle,
as heat is developed by the union OF the
acids with the glyoerine. Thermometers

the present deadlock will continue long.
As to the poor sailor, he is notorious for never
being able either to recognize or to protect his
own interests and therefore it Is not surprising
TO find that Just now he thinks he ought to side
with his punderers, the boarding house keep
ers. Perhaps he thinks it hard that the law
should interfere to keep him from making fool
of himself. Perhaps ne values the few dollars
ne can get out of the advance note for tobacco
and a final dcbauch more than the nine -tenths
which he sacrifices to his friends the land
sharks. But even he must eventually realize
that the change in the law is for his benefit,
and that it is better to have the full earnings OF
the voyage when it is terminated than to squan-
der three months wages before he goes on board.
The land sharks are Just now confused and be-
vildcrcd by the change, but they will soon
learn that they cannot cOerce a man into paying
what he has not got and cannot get, by making
n permanent bOardcr of him. II he owes ar

1 rnnL nE LIE MACHINE.

A fortnight before his nomination for Gov
crnor i'm 1889. stephen Grover Cleveland was
almost unknown outside of Erie County. His
nomination. then was the work of skillul Dem
ociatic machine; and ne was elected upon an
issue regarding which he was not q leader.
That wa. demonstrated by the vote for Licutcn-
ant Governor. "Dayc" Hi, cll-known
member of the machine, who made no profess
,ous OF being u rlormcr aud whose record in
the Legislature prccudcd such claim had u
larger majority for Lieutenant. Governor than
Cleveland had ~ head Of the ticket. II the
vote of that year was any test of the merits OF
the two men. lin and not Cleveland should
have been nominated ut Chicago.
Discovered aud nominated by u machine,
Cleveland has always been true 10 it. He has
obtained cheap reputation for being indepcn-
dent by approving measures which would
weaken the opponents of the machine. Such
was the bin passed by Republican Legislature
TO take from the Aldermen their power to con-
firm the Mayors nominations. That aimed
blow at Tammany Hall. Bat when the counter
part of that measure, the Tenure OF Office bill,
which struck blow at the County Democracy,
was presented to the Governor, he quietly
pgcon-holcd it for a month and then vetoed it,
The attempt o defend that veto on the ground
of impcrfections in the bin is sheer nonsense.
no defect in the measure, Offering any excuse
for the veto has ever been pointed out. 1t was
done in the interest of Tweed's successor,
Hubert o. Thompson, who is the most powerful
member of the State machine and its repre-
sentative on the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Ina no iuf 4 r. 4
membero OF that machine, the Governor approved
bill passed by the Democratic Legislature of
1888, transferring prisoners from the rombs-
where they were maintained at au expense to
the city of thirty cents each per day-to Ludlow
Street Jail, where the city had TO pay the Sherin
seventy-fye cents a day for each prisoner, with
extra allowances. The scandalous character OF

Ii appears that the Dnglcy Shipping bill has
brought about a kind of deadlock winch might
have been but was not forcSccn. one section
in the new law GorbiIs the issue Of advance
notes to scamcn. Now the advance note system
has for long time been made to enrich class
of PARASITES who live upon poor Jack. When
at the end of a voyage he goes ashore he is
snapped up by sailor clearinghouse keeper,
who supplies him with bad whiskey AMI some
times with Il few dollars. After he has been
ashore a week or two, the boarding house
keeper thinks it is time he got another ship.
So ne is made to sign articles, and then a bill
is fabricated which absOrb5 about nine-tenlhs
of the advance note, the small remainder being
appropriated to the purchase of a poor apology
for a kit and sea stores. These bills are merely
a method of Disgusting sheer robbery. BY

hbition of the advance notes of course puts an
end to that particular form of plumber, and 50
