BUILDING CONTRACTORS WHO BE-

BUILDING CONTRACTORS WHO BE-
COME NIURDERERS.
, Do building inspectors inspect? The an
swtr comes after the calamity, for then 1t Is
that the inspection is done, not before. Con-
tractor BUDDgNsIEE has been putting up
tenement houses in New York, four and
FIVE stories high, this winter by the block.
The alleged mortar was q composition OF
loan, inferior lime aud water which, when
thoroughly mixed, made ordinary mud.
This was used sParingly to solder the layers
of bricks into walls, while the larger
crevices were filed up with chips
dirt, scrapings or anything that came han
6y, so it filed hole or stopped vent. All
this seemed to be a good substitute for
genuine mortar during the winter while
the frost aud cold kept things together, bat
the seasons change, and with spring came
the thaw and the rain. Each helped tue
Their in its work of demolition. The rain
found its way through the dirt and pieces
of wood in the creyices, and thence into
the sohened mud which represented
the mortar. The disintegration was
rapid; the mud ran down the walls, and the
unroofed and unfinished walls, oftheir own
weight, soon relaxed their hold Of the per
pendicular and ran down after the mud,
buryiug the workmen under the debris BY
the score
One would hardly suppose even the greed
of rapid gain could p'rmit mans con-
science to keep up such criminal business.
For any man must know that such build
ings are simply mantraps that murder
wholesale instead OF siugly. But such peo-
pie there are, and plenty Of them, who no
more think Of the lives they are endanger-
ing than they think Of where they are going
themselves after death.
There are building inspectors paid large
salaries to prevent the exercise Of this Gu
pidity, bat they are parcel of 6gure-heads,
rs a rule who ;utrust all to their sub-in-
spectors, and as in the case cited above the
Sub" is either bribed or danny, and the
devilment goes on until such calamity
as that Of The pas: week happens, and then
follows an attempt to satisfy public indigna'
ton. BY the arrest and alleged punishment
of the criminals Is il any wonder mob
looms up on such occasions and either
threatens, or really does take he law in its
own hand? No, there is not bit Of won
der. The wonder ought to be the other way,
for the instances that are constantly occur.
ring Of destroying life for the sake Of gain

The JOnahs of the Republican
Party.
rFrorn the Iowa State Register. |

From the Iowa State Register.
The popular expectation, all over the coun-
try, had been very confident that the repub-
licans would carry the State of New York.
Before the republican State convention. the
adoption of the platform, and Mr.. Daven-
ports letter of acceptance, and before the re-
turn of all the free trade mugwumps, we
shared in this belief. When we saw plat
form adopted that was very timid and tender
toed on protection, made purposely so with
a view to wooing back the free trade
mugwumps, and when the ticket was made
up largely to please the whims of the capri
cious mugwumps, and last when Mr.. Daven-
ports letter of acceptance appeared and
protection was not mentioned in it-evidently
done to please the free trade deserters-we
lost faith In republican success. For we felt
that the practical domination of the party
by the free trade element. and the return OF
the mugwumps with their free trade, would
drive out of it the forty odd thousand or
more of the Irish protectionists Who came
into the republican party of New York last
fall to vote for Blaine and protection. The
result appears to have proved that for
every free trade mugwump who has returned,
sve or six Irish protectionists have gone out
The mugwump bolt last year was for free
trade. All the papers that bolted Blaue were
aud long have been for free trade more than
republicanism Beecher bolted because of
free trade, and so did all the sordid contin
gent that followed him. Anti Blaineism was
the work that covered up the free trade face
and heart. We do not believe that fifteen
hundred voters in the whole country bolted
Blaine for reasons of personal opposi ion to
him. All the others bolted him because he
was the great apostle and leader of American
ideas, and the American policy of protection
1t was his great strength personally, and his
great strength because of protection, that
reached out into new fields and gained
enough to make up for the great free trade
bolt. This free trade bolt would have de-
serted any republican candidate of protec
tion record on the protection platform adopt
ed. Republicans can carry New York State,
or come near doing it in this latter dav, only
on protection candidates. 1t was lost to
Garfield in 1880 until Blaine came down
from Maine in October preaching the doc
trine of protection and calling the democratic
workingmen and manufactures into the re-
publican ranks.
This year the new Irish republicans re-
NAMED in the party through the Ohio cam
temperance in the party in New York.
Then the Irish protectiOnists moved out
The result is republican defeat. Free
trade and the Mugwumps have proved the
Jonahs of the party.

President Cleveland
CONTRIBUTED MONEY TO CARRx THE ELEC-
TON IN NEW YORK. WHAT A DEMOCRAT
&c PAPER SAYS.
New York Star. (Dem.) |

After the canvass opened events demon
strsted the wisdom of the clear headed dem
ocrats who had insisted on resolution sue
tanning the President. The mugwump pa
pers-which had previously resolved on
treachery in any event-raised the cry that.
whatever the platform might say, the nomi-
nations were dictated by hostility to Cleve-
land. There is not an intelligent politician
in the State who does not know that for weeks
after Mr.. Hills nomination, this cry threat
ened his defeat, and that the one supreme ef-
fort of the democratic managers was to refute
it. 1t was to this end that the President and
the New York members of his Cabinet de-
clared their desire for Mr.. Hills success, and
contributed money toward the expenses OF
his canvass. 1t was to this end that Mr..
Hill took frequent occasion to declare with
emphasis his support of the administration.
1t was to this end that The Star, with abso-
lutte knowledge of the facts. declared the ad-
ministration's strong desire for democratic
success, and kept before its readers the de-
nuncistion of Mr.. Cleveland in the republi.
can platform.

Political Compliments.

We regret to feel obliged to call the atten-
ton of those prominent republicans and re-
publican newspapers that fastened to con-
graduate the newly-appointed democratic
collector of customs at Portland, to the fact
that these generous political compliments
have been very promptly responded to by
Collector Anderson with the summary remov-
al of Hon. Sidney Perham from the position
of appraiser, to make a place for the Angus
ia correspondent of the Argus, and the re-
moval of the assistant appraiser to make
room for the agent of the Boston Post
The haste with which Collector Anderson
has deposed a republican ex-governor from
an Office which the people Of Maine were glad
to have him hold. is rendered more conspic-
uous by the fact that Governor Perham is not
yet recovered from quite serious sickness
which might, it would seem, have suggested
more consderate treatment Few citizens of
Maine have enjoy ed more generally and cor
daily the respect of its best citizens than
Hon. Sidney Perham, whose administration
was credit to himself and the State. His
summary removal from the Office so fittingly
bestowed upon him, suggests a marked con-
trast with the action of the republicans who
in assuming control of the 47.h House of
Representatives bestowed as a courtesy upon
the democratic ex Speaker Randall a chair
manship with committee room and clerk.
The Portland Press now says
We believe there Is no pretence that the removal
Of the Hon. Sidney Perham aud Mr.. Franklin Saw
yer from the custom house is in the interest of reform
The offensive parisanship dodge by which II was at
first sought to explain the turning out Of competent
officers has apparently been abandoned. 1t would
have been greatly to the credit of the Administra.
ton had it never been employed. 1t never was any
thing but a hypocritical subterfuge.

From The Knore,ie Penn Journal.
James G. Blaine got 1900 more votes in
New York City than were cast for Ira Daven
port He got nearly 10000 more votes in
the city than were cast for Garfield. He re-
ceived 1000 more votes in the State of New
York than were cast for Garfield. He has q
stronger personal following in New York than
any other living man, and a stronger follow
ing throughout the country. So if there are
anv republicans who believe We might have
done better in the last campaign if we had
had different candidate, let them disabuse
their minds on that subject. Blaine was our
strongest man, and there is not the shadow of
a reason for the republicans of the United
States TO reflect upon themselves for having
nominated Blaine.
