/ wish | was an editor, really do
indeed; 1t seems to me that editors,
get every thing they need. They get
the biggest and the best, of every thing
that grows. And get in free to circus
es, and other kinds of shows. When
the mammoth cheese is cut they always
get slice, for saying Mrs. Smith
knows how to make 1t very nice. The
largest pumpkin, the longest beet, and
other green stuff, is blown into the
sanctum by editorial puffs. The big
gest bugs will speak to them, no mat
ter how they dress; A shod1y coat is
nothing IL you own printing press.
At ladies' fairs they're almost Rugged
by pretty girls who know, that they
will crack up every thing the ladies
have to show. And thus they get a
blowout free. at every party feed
The reason is they write, and everybody
reads.

The pinfeather democratic officers at

The pinfeather democratic officers at
Washington are making a great dis
play of curtailment and economy. .
The public are daily treated to the
boast of the dismissal of few clerks
and the consequent saving of several
hundred dollars 10 the government.
They seem to think IL they save q dol
lar to the government they performed
an unheard of miracle and they cackle
all along the line as vigorously ms virgin
puIlets over their first egg. There has
not bsen a month since the suppression
of the democratic rebellion that the re-
publicans have not reduced the expen-
ses OF the government more than this
young democratic administration has
done in its life time, and the republi
cans did not waste any breath growing
about IL either. :. Bay city Tribune.

One of the most ludicrous whines
that have been made by democratic or
gans, is the one regarding the new
appoitionment bill. In one column
the Press fairly snivels at the Infamous
gerrymahder' perpetrated by the re-
publican sonata, -allAsAdl-to--i.l-
crease tho number of republican sena-
tors; while in another column il sneers
at the political idiocy" of the engi-
neer of the gcrrymander, for surrend-
ering two districts to the democracy.
Every one acquainted with democrat
ic history, knows that no democratic
legislature was ever known to give its
opponents anything that they could
be kept out of. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that a democratic organ
should sneer at a republican legisla-
ture which was fair enough to give
two senator's to their opponents; but
it is exceedingly absurd to sheer at his
unfairness in one column, and SWIVEL
at his alleged injustice in another. =

ANOTHER TENEMENT HOUSE HORROR
Eight Persons Burned to a Crisp and Four
teen Seriously Injured by the burning
of n New York Tenement Terrible
Struggles of the Inmates.

New YORK, May 3.-Shortly before
O'Clock this morning there was an out
break of fire in the crowded tenement
house, No. 612 First avenue, near Thirty
eight street. Before the fire department
reached the scene several of the inmates
had leaped from the upper windows, be
ing crushed into lifeless masses on the
stone pavements, while others were either
suffocated by smoke or burned to death
within the building. Three alarms We're
promptly rung in and the entire ambu-
lance corps of the city was sent for.
There was but one dark and narrow hall
way through the building for the use of
the forty inmates, and the flames mount
ing up the stairs and spreading through
the Railways, completely shut off all
means of escape. The street in front of
the burning tenement was quickly filled
with an excited crowd, and the scenes
as the half maddened inmates leaped
from the windows or were observed
to fall back overcome by smoke and flame,
were appalling. The firemen were tardy
in reaching the fire, owing to their having
been called to another contlagratlon Just
previous, but once upon the scene they
made strenuous efforts to rescue the in
mates of the building. In the meantime
men, women and children, half naked,
were rushing to and fro in the tenement,
struggling wildly for some avenue of es-
cape Everything was confusion for
awhile, but the firemen soon had their
ladders up and several streams of water
playing on the flames. The lower story
was occupied by John Humphreys res

men removed the wounded as quickly as
possible and they were placed in ambu-
tances and taken to the hospital. The
dead were carried to an adjoining build
where they were laid upon the floor. BY
two o'clock, a m, seven dead bodies had
been recovered.
One of the firemen got up to the fourth
floor by means of scaling ladder and
handed down several persons from the
from the window to fireman on the lad
ders below. One woman at the top of the
house threw her baby out of the front
window. Policeman Flaherty caught the
child and carried it, somewhat injured, to
a nelghbOring house where it was cared
for. The mother went back from the
window and was not seen again. 1t is
supposed that she was suffocated.
Meanwhile some tiremen had turned
streams of water upon the flames and it
was soon possible for them to 90 through
the house and search rooms. They carried
out dozen persons who appeared to be
alive, although insensible The bodies of
five dead persons We're carried into the
coal office adjoining and laid on the floor.
One or two of them were partly dressed

before making an effort to escape. The
