MUTUAL GAS CONDEMNED.

The Buffalo Board of Fire Commissioners
has virtually condemned the use of natural
gas for heating houses The destruction Of
a beautiful church and a series of stimuli
taneous explosions endangering life and
property have warned that community
of the extremely hazardous nature
of this new and popular device for dispensing
with coal. The commissioners nhesitatingly
recommend that the supply Of natural gas, now
used by 5000 families in that city, be imme-
datey cut off, since no adequate safeguard
has been provided, or even suggested, for pre-
venting the recurrence Of sudden explosions
This action is evidently warranted by the facts,
since the city narrowly escaped few weeks
ago great catastrophe, While only one
church was destroyed several others were en-
dangered the Music Hall would have been at
the mercy Of lighted gas Jet, and there was
panic in hundreds of households. The prob
lem OF controlling the pressure of the gas and
of regulating the supply for mains and meters
has not been solved and until this can be done
the system is attended with extraordinary
risks. The decision of the Fire Commissioners
may cause much inconvenience in the town,
but it is evidently wise and prudent.
1t is only reasonable to expect thatthis action

THE GOOD CLEVELAND AND THE WICKED
HILL COMMUNION.

Tho Democratic State Committee, which Mr.
Cleveland controls, organizes by seiectlhg Ed-
ward Murphy. of Troy, as its chairman Muf-
nbv il n stanch friend and admlrer OF HILL ana
docs NOT hesitate to indorse Hills scandalous
characterization of the Executive Office. When
Iatelv in this city attending the Democratic
ctoto Convention he assured a reporter of " The
wolf, that the course pursued by the Gov
ernor had greatly strengthened the party
Murnhv's entire political career is consistent
9TH this brazen backing Of the tool OF the rum
mower that vetoed the High-License bill. Hiii
;s the sort of a man that Murphy naturally
would take to. Murphy never stood for any
fling in his party but machine politics OF the
nm scrunulous sort. Under his bossship in Troy
democratic gangs have rendered that city no
.o,;ors for frauds upon the ballot-box There
;s nothing in his public record or his antece-
dents that is not at war with the things that
- for cenuine reform in the conduct OF the
affairs of the people.
All the same Grover Cleveland acting through
his friends who constitute a majority of the
committee. gives Murphy the Craftsmanship.
And so surely is the independent press un-
dor the thumb of the President that instead OF
crificiSng q ScleCllOl 81 uidHhlSSeAJ
il surrenders to Murphy with the remark that
ait is safe to infer that they (Clevelands rep
resentatives on the committed knew what they
were about when they elected him chairman.
Knew what they were about, did theyf VI
course they did if the understanding is that
HIPS friends are to support the truly good man
for reelection to the Presidency, and Cleve-
lands friends are to reciprocate by supporting
the wicked partner for reelection to tho Gov
enorship.
This interesting attempt to drive reform and
anti-reform in double harness was begun IN
the Democratic State Convention. The cum
ming leaders who controlled that gathering Sc
cured the adoption of a platform which was
alike eulogistic of Cleveland and Hill. Reso-
lutions were put through without dissenting
voice commanding the Administration at wash
inpton and the Administration at Albany. And
now the attempt is repeated. The reformers
who control the committee assign the CHIEF
place in their gift to the man who publicly de-
clared that Governor Hill had pursued course
which had greatly strengthened the party
What do reputable Democrats think OF the
notion
