duce Mr.. Bright's majority TO few hundfcus
and thereby to discredit Mr.. chamberlain
among his own people. They expected 70

of Mr.. Psrnell and the sullen resentment Oh
the local Tory Association, whose plans hsd
been unset In the interest of the Liberal-Union-
lists. Mr. Bright's name was one to con]ure
with. and Lord Randolph Churchilrs admir-
ers, instead Of sulking in their tents, battled
for the UnioniSt alliance. The defeat OF the
Home Rule candidate was overwhelming, and
the liberals are momentarily disconnected
The signal displayed at Remington passed I'M
noticed at Birmingham. That centre OF Eng
lish Radicalism opposed Mr.. Gladstone's Irish
policy in 1886, and stil holds out against Home
Rule with resolute determination. Mr. Cham
berlain was responsible for the defeat OF the
Irish cause then, and he is still sustained and
honored in Birmingham when he perseyefes
in Offering resistance to the return of the Lib
eral party to power. The rejection OF the pop
ular Tory leader and the election OF the Liberal
Unionist by great majority indicate that the
conditions of the last canvass will be repeated
in the next general elections The Unionist
alliance will be maintained, and desperate
effort made to elect Parliament in the course
of two or three years which will survive the
Grand Old Man. That is the logic Of the
Birmingham election, and the Home Rule party
have reason to be depressed by the result

sudden outbreak of fire of this kind would al
most certainly be attended with the loss Oh hie
which was avoided here? Isn't it fact Wltnlh
the knowledge of many business men, especlaAy
those connected with insurance companies, thai
many factories are deficient in the means neces-
sary for preserving the lives of employees in
case of fire? Every man who has occasion 70
90 about in the manufacturing districts OF, our
great cities must be able to call TO mind cases
where a fire like this would almost certainly
be attended with loss OF life which cannot be
contemplated without shudder. Even where
the necessary appliances are provided they are
neglected. Long-conhnued safety breeds over
confidence and reclSlessness, and when the
emergency comes no preparation has been made
10 meet it. II hardly admits Of argument that
this condition Of things ought not to exist En-
ployers have no right to risk the lives OF en-
pioyes in this way, and the State should not
permit it to be done.
The remedy is very simple one' 1t was
urged some years ago by Edward Atkinson, in
the course of an agitation growing out OF
factory slaughter. 1t is simply that the pro-
prietors of buildings shall be made liable to
persons employed therein for injuries or loss OF

would undoubtedly be to multiply the number
of fre-proof buildings. But this would not be
the only effect, nor, perhaps, the most impor-
tant. The logical sequel would inevitably be
the formation Of insurance companies to in
sure proprietors against losses of this descrip-
ton, Just as they are now insured against dam
ages to buildings by FIRE. Such companies
would be forced, by regard for their own in
terests to make sure that all buildings in which
numbers of persons were employed were ap-
propriately provided with life-saving appli-
snces, as fire insurance companies now are to
see that every precaution is taken against fire.
The introduction Of this system would not in
yolve any complicated changes in business
methods. 1t would be long advance step
in civilization, for we are beginning to under
stand that the employer has no right to put life
or limb Of the workman needlessly in jeopardy
One OF these days it will be brought about,
and then we will all wonder that we should
have taken so long TO adopt system so simple
so easy and so humane.

Mr.. Chamberlain is master Of Birmingham.
The election of Mr.. Bright by majority OF
8, 600 Is personal triumph for the chief Lib
eral. Unionist organizer, and viudcates his iudg-
nent in thwarting Lord Randolph ChurchilPs
ambition to succeed the great orator. Senti-
mental considerations undoubtedly influenced
the constituency which had been loyal to the
tribune of the English people for thirty years.
The election of his son was the last tribute that
could be paid to his memory by those who had
loved to hear his voice and had accounted it one
of the chief distinctions of the city that he had
represented it for so large portion OF his pub
lie life. No English statesman ever received
so magnificent testimonial OF respect and af-
lection as was accorded TO the orator in 1882
at the political Jubilee In Birmingham; and his
constituents have made a final demonstration OF
constancy in choosing his son as his successor.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who has been out of touch
with his own town, understood the potency OF
the Younger Brights name. Popular senti-
ment favored him. But there were antag-
onistic forces operating also The Tories were
in hot rage over Lord Randolph Churchllls
enforced withdrawal, They held Mr. Cham
berlain responsible for their own and their
fayorite's disappointment, and their resentment
threatened at one time to lead to abstenuons
from voting by which the Home Rule can
d;date would profit Mr.. chamberlain pru-

The lesson of the burning Of tho Planet Mills
in Brooklyn ought not to be lost. 1t was a
most fortunate and extraordinary circumstance
that it was not attended with great sacrifice
Of human life. Here was large building,
covering nearly an entire block, in which be-
tween two and three hundred persons, of whom
most were girls and boys were working during
the night A fire suddenly broke out on the
first floor, and in twenty minutes the whole
building was in flames. The heroic exertions
of William Mccormack, the foreman, seem 10
have been mainly instrumental in assuring the
escape OF this great number OF operatives. For
time It seemed as though the patent fire.
escapes might fail to work, and many Of the
operatives would be condemned 10 horrible
death, but luckily all were believed to have
been rescued, and all have since been accounted
for except one Of the assistant engineers.
This was happy deliyerance which reflects
credit on all concerned-on the company, which
seems to have taken careful precautions against
such danger. and is said to have had fire

upon the operatives themselves, who seem to
have shown decided GOODNESS and helpfulness.
But with all these advantages, it was narrow
escape. How many great factories are there

Mr.. Voorhees,, the Republican leader, did not
mince words when he arrsigned the Democratic
majority in the New-Jersey Assembly yester-
day for their grossly partisan conduct. He told
them plainly that they had disgraced the State
and were an offence in the nostrils of honest
men everywhere; and he urged speedy ad-
journment in order to prevent still more shame
full proceedings. This hint is likely to be acted
on, for many Democrats must realize that the
course of their representatives at Trenton will
react disastrously on the party. 1t is only re-
gard for the good name Of the State that would
lead q Republican to check the Democratic

Mr. Parsons breakdown in health is undoubt-
eddy due TO overworl and the failure to spare
himself as he might have done. 1t is stated that
be has been away from his office in eleven years
less than five weeks and that three Of these weeks
were during the past winter, when he was forced
TO take vacation by the orders of his physician.
II was also stated at the time of Mr. Van Colts
appointment that he would not need TO make any
vacancy WHEN he appointed o private secretary,
as Mr.. Pearson had always performed the duties
Of that position in addition 20 his own. The
obvious reflection here-and it applies to any
person holding ON important position, whether
public or prlvate-is that neglect of the laws OF
health, through ones jealous devotion TO duty, is
o detrimeut TO the service that IL is sought to
render and is, in its way, distinct fault rather
than merit The fact that Mr.. Pearson chung so
closely to his desk through all these years is proof
OF his sincerity and earnestness but is 1t possible
10 resist the conclusion that he would have been
able TO do still better work II he had not broken
himself down by undue application? We make
the point, not through any lack OF appreciation of
his labors, but that ali workers In every field may
profit by it.
Apparently the way to get rid of overhead wires
is TO get rid of them.
