As if that were not sufficient to settle the mat

expressed Saturday night, with the other Irving
Hall Democrats, their qualification over the Sc

Hartman was Tweed Civil Justice. tbir-
teen -year-old bogus claim of his against the

The Republican County Committee will meet
this week to complete its organization and pre-
pare for the work of the fall campaign. Fort
unately no note of discord has yet been
heard; and a general desire is shown to act
with view of promoting the welfare of the
party. If this spirit rules throughout the COM
ing campaign, there can be little doubt OF
Republican success.

Instead of asking for law to permit liquor
shops to remain open part of each Sunday,
Mayor Grace would do better to try and find
some means of closing them for short time
on that day. At present, with the exception of
having the front doors closed, the liquor deal

day and other days. For this disregard of the

society.

Mr.. Gladstoncs statement in the House of
Commons yesterday afternoon appears Ia dis
credit by implication the report that NJ. de Giers
had sent reply CURLY refusing 10 make any
further inquiry regarding The Penjdeh affair.
DESTROYS of peace, as the British Premier doubt
less il, and determined as ne has shown himself
to be, to employ every honorable diplomatic
means to that end, he could hardly continue
negotiations after so insolcnt and unmistak-
able defiance on the part OF Russia, and there
fore it may be assumed that the answer of NJ. dc
Girrs was not so pcremptory as reported. Mr..
Gladstone said that he did not intend 20 pro
duce any further correspondence until he asks
for the credit of which notice has been given.
He did not disguise his grave approximations,
and perhaps he is almost alone to-day in hoping
for the preservation of peace. The tone OF the
Russian COMMUNICATIONS so far as published has
been growing less pacific ia proportion AS he
falsehood of the Russian representations of the
Penjdeh affair have been exposed, and it has
seemed more apparent that the st. Petersburg
diplomats were really only thrilling with Eng
land, and scarcely seeking any longer TO gain
time for war preparation.
Whether there remains any common ground
for practical negotiation is doubtful since the
receipt of Sir Peter Lumsdens reply. That
specific and strong denial of the truth of Cen
eral Komaroifs report certainly furnishes Mr.
Gladstone with powerful support. but it can
not render easier a reconciliation with Russia.
The latter, naturally, and almost of Necessity,
prefers the statement OF her own General, aud
she has already gone SO far in uphod,ng him
that she may justly be suspected of an intention
to justify his course under any and all circum-
stances. The case consequently may be said to
have got beyond the reach OF diplomacy, unless
Mr.. Gladstone is prepared to make humiliat-
ing and by no means honorable surrender and
it is still too To charge him with such a dis
position. AS the case stands, nothing less than
the reputation OF Komarofi7s action, and the
Withdrawal of that officer, would meet the ex-
igences. But so far Russia refuses to admit
that KomarOf has done wrong; has in fact
done other than his duty; and there the whole
matter remains. If war is avoided under these
circumstances, 1t can only be by CONCESSIONS ON
one side or the other which now appear in the
last degree improbable nor does it sem
credible that the two Powers can much longer
maintain any kind of diplomatic Ielations in
this strained condition of affairs.

THE RUSSIAN TERROkISTS.

IN to-day's TRIBUNE appears an interesting
account of an interview with the Nhillst Hart
mann. who was concerned in the abOrtlve at
tempt to blow up tho Gar, and who is one OF
the most active members of the so-called Ter
rorist wing of his party. 1t is not to be sup
posed that a professional consprator, engaged
in conflict with Government which possesses
very long arms and very sharp eyes, would dis
close any secrets calculated to give aid ana
comfort to the Russian police or to the Third
Section, but Hartmann in this ,ntrevicw eX-
presses in IL general way his views rs to the
tendencies of the threatened war between Eng
land and Russia, and It's probable consequences
for Nihilism. He says whether for the purpose
of misleading the Russian Government or serl-
ously cannot of course be known that the
Terrorists will make no attacks upon the Gov
eminent in the event of war.
Such decision might be ascribed either to
latent patriotism OF to an apprehension that
attacks Mt such time would populariEe the
Government Hartmann processes to believe
that the Car desires war because Nihlism Is
sapping the loyalty of the army, and because 1t
will enable him to dispose OF doubtful regl-
ments and secure popular indifference for do
nestle legislation against tho Nihists. OF
course the conspiratOr looks at the situation
from the point of view of his own party sym
pathies and interests, but in asserting that
Nhilism is not dead or even sleeping, and that
its leaders are prepared to make the most out
of the impending war, he is probably stating
facts. The NihIsts are not the less dangerous
because they are quiet just now. and possibly
Hartmanns assurance that they contemplate no
outbreaks in the event of war will fail 10

it will admit, the extent to which the revolu
tiOnary ideas have already permeated Russian

THE ADMIRALTY EXPLOSION.

There appears to be no room Tor doubt that
the explosion at the London Admiralty yesIer-
day was the work of the dynamite gang re-
sponsble for previous senseless and Ineffective
crimes of the same kind. In the hurry and
hustle of war preparations the usual police
vigilance WAS no doubt relaxed, and from
present indications it seems possible that the
operators in this last outrage were enabled to do
what they were about so free from observation
that their detection will be extremely difficult.
AS in the former cases, there has been con
siderable destruction of masonry and timber,
but only serious injury to one official. Con-
sidering that the Admiralty Bulldog was mt the
time filed with people, this must be regarded as
a remarkable escape, and it is apparent that the
miscreants who threw the explosive or placed
il intended and expected to destroy as much
life as possible.
There is mt much to be said as TO the charac-
ter and motive of such infamous and stupid
deeds. They produce simply no political effect,
their utter nationally and brutality effectually
proclaiming the blind folly and inconsequence
Of the policy which produces them. An ex-
ploson in a crowded Government office or
other public building may cause few hours of

of some innocent clerks, but there the effect
ends. The trial of Burton and Cunningham
will not probably be affected by the new out
rage, unless it makes the empaneling OF jury
somewhat more difficult. Public opinion in all
civilized countries Will of course sternly con-
denim and execrate the crime and the
criminals, and if they are discovered they will
be punished as they deserve. But in the midst
of the exciting events now agtating the world
such an act appears more hopelessly silly and
vicious even than its predecessors in the same

their duty for long period. 1t is equally clenr
that many of these inspectors have been incom-
petent. Between incapacity, corruption and
Incidence, the swndling contractors of the Bud
densek pattern have in short had their own
way and the practical outcome is that there are
now scores of buildings in the city which ale
positively unsafe, and which are liable at any
time to collapse and kill their occupants. This
being the case, it is plain that the trial and con-
viction of Buddensiex and his companions are
not enough. He and they have for years been
preparing mischief through their conscienceless
greed and want OF principle, and now 1t IS
necessary TO ascertain where his work is, and to
subject it all TO a close and thorough cxamlna-
ton.
Every dweling-house or other building put
up with sandless mortar, after the manner of
the houses that fell the other day, ought to be
condemned and pulled down. 1t seems that the
due protection of the public against "jerry
builders is however, by no means easy. When
a fire occurs and the walls of building become
unsafe, the fremen require no authorization to
tear them down; but when some villanOus con-
tractor puts up an apartment-house by piling
bricks together without mortar, he must be
proceeded against through the courts in the
usual tedious manner. There is a demand for
simpliiication of procedure. When building is
condem ned because it is improperly constructed,
there should be immediate power to order it
torn down, aud this whether its insecurity is
discovered during its construction or after its
completion. At present, however, it is clearly
necessary to guard against repetition and ex-
aggeration of the recent disaster by tracing
Buddensiels's work, and that of all the scrub
contractors who are known to employ similar
methods. No time should b. lost in beginning
this work, for according to the statements
made. there are such rotten structures scattered
all over the city, and of course their existence
in their present condition is n constant menace.
Unless this is done, further building col
apses, resulting in much greater loss of life
and property, must be apprehended. The peo-
pie of Newly are proverDially and even
culpably patient and tolerant of abuses, but
they will hardly be prepared to await the
gradual collapse of these wretched buildings,
one after another, when by the exertioD of
little official activity aud capacity the whole
genus of Buddensek buildings may be rem
dered harmless
