of the commissioners will be supplemented by
even more decisive measures on the part OF
the underwriters Insurance firms in Buffalo
and in the natural gas region will be Iustliied
in making special rates for class OF risks
that are clearly "extra hazardous" The ne
cessity for such action has gradually been
forced upon the attention Of insurance COM
panies doing business in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. During the last three years the property
losses in Pennsylvania from fires caused by
natural gas have exceeded 100000. Al
though this gas is used only in the western
section of the State, it appears in the oficial
tables for 1886 as the third in the list OF
leading causes of fire. Experienced insurance
writer's do not hesitate to pronounce 1t as dan
gerous as crude petroleum gas. Probably the
amount of capital already invested in natural
gas companies is too great to permit prema-
ture abandonment of system OF heating
houses SO extensively used and so generally
favored on account Of its cleanliness and
efficiency. The problem of readiusting auto
matte valves and of multiplying precautions
for regulating over-pressure will not be likely
to battle permanently the ingenuity OF en-
gineers and experts. The system in Buffalo
is rightly condemned as unsafe, but 1T does
not follow that it will remain under Official
prohibition. The Fire Commissioners, by their
severe structures. and the insurance companies
by increased rates for buildings In which
natural gas is used, may be instrumental IN
forcing piping corporations to diminish the risks
by new inventions and mechanical expedients

Smith NJ. Weed is recognized as one of the
most prominent of the political leaders Of this
State on the Democratic side. In 1S76-'77
he achieved National notoriety in connection
with the desperate scheme having for its object
the purchase Of the Presidency for Mr.. Tilden.
Mr.. Weed at present is engaged in shouting
the battle CRY of Cleveland. Being in San
Diego the other day, The Sun" of that place
interviewed him in reference to the political
situation. The reporter asked him, among
other things: "-You believe in Cleveland p,

It will be observed that Mr. Weed, although
passionately in love with the President, admits
that he "makes mistakes" Now in view OF
some remarks which Mr.. Weed made last year.
il would be interesting TO know If he includes
the Presidents canvass for reelection among
his "mistakesn In the winter of 1887 - Inc

Mr.. Weed. "Do you think the President VIII

Mr.. Weed replied: "No, I do not think he

of acceptance and refuse to be candidate
for second term. l am Of the opinion that
he wiHtkrite letter to that effect TO give the
public a clear understanding on the subject"
How is it, Mr.. Weed? Do you regard Mr..
Clevelands sacrifice of the courage OF his
convictions at the dictation Of his selfish am
bition as a mistake? Do you think he would
have stood better with people who dislike
buncombe if he had kept faith with himself ?
Or do you hold that Democratic statesmen
make no mistake in supplying themselves with
a brand new stock Of convictions whenever 1t
suits their convenience to do soa -4-.-.

MAYNARD was shown TO have made up biacK
Ist'' of men in the Appraisers department,
whose removal he insisted on solely because
thew were Republicans, for when 1t was pointed
ont 70 him that one of them was son OF
ex-senator Jacobs, Of Brooklyn, his name was
nj once stricken of. Not only did the Assistant
Secretary violently depart from the spirit Of
the Civil Service law in this respect, but when
an inspector had been removed for drunken
ness and INSTRUMENTATION, he demanded his
reinstatement and actually had him reappolnted
in direct violation of the law Several OF the
removed men testified that they could learn
no reason for their removal, and Mr. McMullen
declared that they were both competent and
faithful. There ought TO be serious conse-
ouences in store for Mr.. Maynard The revela-
tions made in this matter alone justify the
appointment of the committee and show the
need Of searching investigation.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the
hearing at Albany on the Ballot Reform bill
by all odds the most important measure be-
uueathed by the Legislature to the Governor
was the variety of interests that appeared IN
advocacy of this radical change in our election
methods. The opposition was voiced by Presi-
dent Forster, of the Board of Aldermen, author
of the fantastic resolutions presented to the
Democratic State Convention, and one Grain,
a representative of Tammany Hall. The only
new point raised was that if a candidate should
die within the fifteen days preceding an cleo
ton, there was no provision for filling the
vacancy. This can easily be remedied before
the new method is put to practical test.
Among those who spoke in favor Of the bill
were Mr., Saxton, whose name it bears, Henry
George and DR.. McGlynn. Governor HIS
remarks and questions suggest that he is mo-
favorably disposed toward the measure, though
we should be glad to believe that this is not
fact. If the Governor has any desire to re-
habilitate his tattered reputation, he could no'
choose wiser course than to disregard the
feeble opposition that this bill OF sterling
worth has aroused.

Taylor was pronounced Bishop in fact as
well as in name, the Methodist Conference
yesterday decided to appoint similar officer
to supervise the work Of the Church in India

and his career as missionary and his famil-
iarity with the field he is to supervise make
the choice the fittest possible. No other can

Considerable opposition to the Rev. Dr.
Lyman Abbott was manifested at the meeting
of Plymouth Church last night. This lack
of harmony in Mr. Beechers flock is greatly to
be deplored, but the fact that IN inconsiderable
minority opposed calling DR.. Abbott as pastor
will not necessarily dim the future of the
church 1t was not to be expected that any
successor to the great preacher who made
Plymouth Church world-famous would hold
together the great congregation attracted by
Mr.. Beecher's strong personality and original
genius. DIR. Abbott is peculiarly fitted in
many ways to carry on Mr.. Beechers work
and there will be an earnest desire that he
may enjoy distinguished success in this difficult
field.
The testimony given before the Senate Com
mittee yesterday chiefly concerned no less
prominent a person than Isaac II. Maynard,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and in
volyed him in transactions which are not
creditable to a high official. The principal
witness against him, Appraiser McMullen, who
Is Democrat. appeared unwillingly, and his
testimony is 30 much the more weighty. Mr..

Andrew Jackson on Protection.

We call the attenti m of the reader to the following. which is General Jackson's famous letter. written in 1924 to Dr. Coleman, of North Carolina. From a careful perusal of the same it will be seen that were Old Hickory alive to-day he would not be found working in the inter- est of free trade and British workshops. Read:
 WASHINGTON CrTY, April 20. l824.- Heaven smiled upon us and gave us lib cities and independence. The same providence has blessed us with the means of national independence and na- tional defense. If we omit or refuse to use the gifts which He has extended to us we deserve not the continuation of His bles ing. He has filled our mountains and our plains with mineral-with lead. iron and copper-and given us climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the great materials of our national defense, they onght to cXlcO0fO tO tuCu aOC9u"sS taOeSSs~' that our manufacturers and laborers may be placed in a fair competition w.th Flu rope. and tha. we have within our coun- try supply of those leading and impol- tant articles SO essential to wear. l will ask what is the real situation of the agri- culturist 7? Where has the American farmer market for his surplus producer Except for cotton he has neithe' a for eipn or home market. Does not this clearly prove when there is no msrket at h ome or abroad that there is too much labor employed in agricultural Common sense at once points out the remedy Take from agriculture in the United States Goo. .ooo men, omen and children and you will at once give market for more breadstufs than sll Europe now furnishes us. In short, SIT, we have been too long subject to the policy of British merchants. It is time we should become a little more Americanised, and instead of feeding paupers and laberevs of Eng land, feed our own, or else in a short time, by continuing our present policy. we shall he rendered paupers ourselves.

The cordial and courteous reception given to Congessmad McKin- Icy at Atlanta. when he delivered m address on the tariff question was in marked contrast to that given to Senator Blair at Charlottesville. Virginia. While addressing republican meeting there upon the tariff question. . man in the audience threw four rotten eggs at him. Great excitement followed, and the pespetratos of the outrage was ar- rested. The senator made . dignihed reference to the indignity offered him, and proceeded with his speech. It is, however, but just to add that the majoe- fly of the people denounce the act.

that. An affidavit or letter probably from some one connected with the rail- road would throw light on the subject.
 We do not profess to be infallibie and entirely free from making mistakes at times. If ''misstatement" appears in these columns however, it is not in- tentional but from wrong information obtained. How is it with the paper that has persisted in saying that John Howell and A. E. Fay Morris and Goldwater three of the most prominent democrats in this territory formerly (the first two do not reside ID the territory now) were not of that political faith, or that still insists that Defaulter Bucksbaum was not democrat and that the Thirteenth legislature was republican.
 If drawing $I5,oco from the territo- rial and county treasury for work legt- imately done during five or six years, admitting those figures to be cotrect as stated ID our contemporary,-lf that IS a sin, what a tremendous old sinner J. R. Walker is who drew not less than $so,ooo or $6o,ooo from the county treasury alons in four years. If there is any political point to be made by publishing the amount the candidates have received from public funds, Mr. Walker has the worst end of the figures, as he drew certainly not less than tree times the amount in four years which Judge O'Nelll is charged with having re- celved in five six or years.
 While the malicious and false asseI- ton. emanating from MT. Daggs, demo- cratic candidate for the legislative coun- Gil, concerning republican candidates for the legislature, favoring subsidies. has been fully met by this paper demonstrat- ing that there was no truth ID the asser- tion, it might be added by way of a clincher that under the Harrison act no subsidy can be passed, neither could the P. < A. C. subsidy act be changed. Of course MT. Daggs is smart enough to know this, and every intelligent reading and thinking man in the county knows it. The false assertion was only made in the hopes of gratifying the prejudice of a class who do not stop to reason or think for themselves.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1888-10-10

The Daggs Demoerat. published at FIagstaff, claim that we make no de fense whatever of its assertion that Messrs. Moore, Brann and Martin are pledged to vote for . railroad subsidy There is no defense to make except to characterize the assertion as a malicious falsehood and the man who origi- hated it as having no decent regard for truth and honor. The man who, actuated by principles of pure unadul- terated malice, will deliberately start . falsehood about political opponent will scruple at no act Of meanness. No such compact as the Democrat spoke of was ever thought and if it were the Harrison act precludes any possibility of any more subsidy acts being passed. The Democrats assertion. not only wrongs the candidates named, but it does a great wrong to legitimate enter prise now being carried on here by a company of honorable gentlemen. The implication that the Copper Basin Copper company would sanction. much less originate or propose such cor rupt measure could only be made by a man lost to every sense of honor. That company has invested its means here and is going quietly along with its busi- ness taking no part in politics. Its means are ample to build narrow euage railroad to its mine whenever their business will demand it, or to conduct any other enterprise which may be deemed necessary for the success oi their mining interests. MT. Daggs' personal organ has overstepped the limit of decency in this outrageous and unfounded charge, reaecting alike maliciously on three honorable gentle
 men, who are candidates before the voters of this county, and upon the promoters of one of the most important enterprises in the county. To demon strate that ''all is not fair in politics"
 and that voters have regard for de
 cency and honor in political affairs. as we'll as in business, the aspirations of any
 man, who is willing, in order to further
 his own ends, to traduce the character
 of his opponents and malign honorable
 gentlemen, engaged in honorable busi ness should be rebuked at the ballo' hOx
