The great fire In New York which de-
stroyed block OF buildings at Forty
second street and Lexington avenue,
caused the special signal known as the
Three Skies" to be sounded, which, for
the third time in month, brought out
more than half of the force. The daring
and skill of the trained lremen on all
such occasions is great cause Of pride
to a city as well as a recognized source of
safety. 1t reminds every city to select
her fremen well, put them under good
chiefs, and encourage them as much as

Tariff CRITICISM.

We quote in another column very
sensible criticism OH the Tariff bill to the
effect that fish should have been put on
the free list, also coal and iron ore. Some
time ago, pending the discussion OF the
fisheries treaty, we urged the right to the
people of the United States TO purchase
m article Of general consuma,ion with
out the addition Of a protective duty that
made the price Of salt dsh extravegant
compared with the prices in Canada.
Tie injustice Of the present duty on
fish is the more fragrant because the few
thousand American fishermen are allowed
such privileges in the Canadian ports as
purchasing supplies cheaper than they
can at home while GO,OOO,0O0 American
people are debarred the purchase OF fish
at The price they cost in Canada
Ii is a striking point in the proposed
convention between the United States
and Canada that the latter offered all the
privileges Of her ports to our fishermen,
Whenever the United States will abolish
the duty on salt fish, fish oil, and other
articles Of trade belonging TO the fishing
interest
l, is upon the salient points where The
burden Of protective duties il felt that the
Democratic party should direct its attack.
II would only need Fish Trust TO
demonstrate the wrong on the people TO
higher degree and bring the question
home 10 them AS In other cases" shall
few people be pensioned with an out
rageous tribute lAii Oh the many, and
This tribute put in The odious form that
makes the millions pay more fol-
an article OF everyday consumption than
justice requires ~

THE WEATHER..

Before anybody cracks over again that
ancient chestnut about the winter linger-
Ing In the lap of spring (misquoted, by
the way,) let us briefly review the per
fomances OF the past season and see II
the record has not been acceptable. II
has rarely been uncomfortable in this
section Of the country in the last
three months, and but very
little snow has fallen. The New York
papers repoT, that the winter
has been miider than usual
in that part of the North, and we have
reason to conclude that the eason in the
middle States has acquitted itself well.
Nevertheless. March came In "a a risky
little lamb, with playful antics Of spring,
and he may go out like the roaring lion,
with old Boress curling his name, and
leaving bis claws on sore Threats and
aching chests
Happy thought; not to hang up the
OVtlCOhl OF IVdlhch just yct w IN
deceptive spring poet or the equally
deceiving prevaricater, who crawls out
OF the babbling brook, and proceeds TO
take his dolce far niente in the first smile
of warm sunshine.
Everybody knows what ought to he
done to the spring poet and to him who
gets of the Winter lingering" &c, but
as for tina, beguiler Of frog that croaks
his baritone song TO spring, tie practical
thing Is catch him and serve him as Ii
poulet dc Aarengo.
But let the cook know In the majestic
words of the Mikado; "There's some
thing about broiling in oil" For that is
how the great Napoleon's cook made
Italian oil and water mix when he brOiled
dozen frogs for the Emperor to cele-
brate the great victory Of Marengo.

The Republicans forget that the Demo

propose to beat them worse the next Time

The Official records of Chinese immi.
grafton TO The United States need not
scare the Caucasian American of the
Western Slope. From 1868 TO 1882 it all
amounted to about $50, 900.
Then the convention Of restriction be-
tween China and the United States
brought the figure down from $4,000 in
1882 10 eight Celestial settlers in 1885.
What need, then, of any more nonsen-
steal demagogery about an evil that does
not exist?
