THAT a public boiler inspector is one of the
needed officials of this city, probably of the
state. is emphasized by the explosion of Tues
day at the state insane hospital. What was
the cause of this particular explosion can not
yet be told positively, time may tell, but it is
more than likely that carelessness brought it
about. The boilers are said to have been in
good condition and if this is true the theory of
carelessness is strengthened. What the city
and the state ought to have is a system of eX-
animation for engineers. With this system
strictly adhered to the number of such acct
dents would undoubtedly greatly decrease and
the loss of life hereby materially lessen. The
legislature is now in session; is this a matter
deserving legislative Acknowledgement.

THERE is less talk in Washington than q
month ago regarding an extra session of the
Fifty-first congress, but this would seem to be
due to a pretty general conviction that it is in
evitable Republican senators and represen-
~tatives, who a short time ago thought an extra
session might be obviated, are now said to
concede that the logic of events points to it as
a necessity. There is still a minority unfavor-
able, but it is small. The attitude of General
Harrison is uncertain, but it is thought that
as a matter of personal preference he is not
favorable to an extra session. All the argu-
ments that have been presented in favor of
calling the next congress together before the
regular date gain force as time goes by.

THE TRIBUNE believes it appreher

THE TRIBUNE believes it apprehends
the quality of a pure, manly and con
scicntious act; an act heightened in
high-mindness by contra-pressure of
great force and persistenary fromfriends.
Such was Representative Wilcox vote
in favor of submission, measure to
which the party was pledged in all hon
or a measure in favor of which are a
clean majority of his constituency in
Red Willow county, no doubt. Then
again the people of Nebraska are entl
tied in pure justice to vote on the amend
ment involving SO vital a question of
economics, morals, and human happi-
ness; or any other amendment to our
constitution. The people are absolute
judges of their desires in this and all
other matters, and no man or set of
men has the constitutional right to re-
fuse them the exercise of the fund
amental right of suffrage in all that the
term comprehends. Almost two years
intervene between now and the date of
action on the question of prohibition
or high license. The matter will no
doubt be very carefully canvassed in
the mean time. 1t should be. Fairly,
prayerfully.. When the conscience of
the people is aroused, we believe their
action will be on the side Of right, and
believe the temperance people are
on that side. The TRIBUNE is in the
habit of eoncurrlng in the will of the
people fairly and honestly and consti-
tutionally expressed. and the liquor in
terests are just as amenable to that
will as the individual citizen, or should
be.

The friends of the Oklahoma meas
ure scored a victory in the Senate Tues.
day by obtaining the reference of the
House bill by the Committee on Terri
tories instead of the Committee on In
dian affairs. IF the latter committee
had secured control Of the bill, it is pro.
bable that the weakness of the senti-
mentalists would have prompted an ad-
verse report. As it is, the rights of the
Indians will be sufficiently protected,
while the demands of civilization and the
rights of white home-seeksrs will now
receive some consideration.

PRESIDENT HARRISON will have one more
cabinet minister to appoint than President
Cleveland had. That is the secretary of the
agricultural bureau. AT last the tillers of the
soil will nave a representative in the cabinet,
and surely, If any class of men deserve repre-
sentation, it is the farmers. The force of en-
ployes IN the agricultural department is enor-
nous, but until now it has been without a
proper head. Its affairs are constantly before
congress-, and it become necessary to appoint
a person who should look after these matters.
The bill has very recently passed.

As THE first of March draws near the

busy with their Estates" The predic-
tons, Wednesday, all agreed as far as
Blaine, Window, Rusk and Wanamaker

about twenty words he could settle all
this anxiety and worry on the part of

fails to speak the words. However,
the worry is all borrowed trouble.

 Mora and her company opened their weeks engagement at the opera house last evening before an immense au- dience, presenting Dads Girl'' in most taking manner. This bright little act ress made a good impression when she appeared here last season, but last even ing, as Melvina Hoskins, she carried the audience with her, and surprised and pleased all by her fine portrayal of the lively, good-natured and cheerful character of Dads Girl. Bangor Con- mercial. At the opera house next week; matinee Wednesday and Saturday.
 ssLa Tosca.''
 A large audience greeted Fanny Daven- port at the opera house last evening, to witness the first production in this city of Sardou's drama, "La Tosca." The play, although the first two acts have been subjected to a rigorous expurgation affords a magnificent opportunity for the portrayal of woman's love, jealousy and hate. Fanny Davenport was fully equal to the requirements of the leading role and had an able assistant in her husband, Melbourne Mcdowell. The costumes worn by Miss Davenport were really elegant.

BASE BALL.
Talk of Having a New England
 League Team Here.

Talk or daNlnS a Ne" EHs-Iahu
 League Team Here.
 Meriden sports are trying to resurrect base ball in that city and wish to be re- presented in a New England league. The Journal says:
 With Meriden and Waterbury fighting in strong league, there is no reason why the old time rivalry could not be revived. The present railroad facilities would greatly help the attendance and result in profit to both clubs. Some definite steps will shortly be taken in Meriden. If the right parties should take hold of the project, a company with 5000 capital could be raised here to run New England league club.
 Another movement looking to the for nation of Connecticut state league of base ball clubs, has been started and something is likely to result from it. The towns suggested to form it are Mer- iden, Waterbury, Southingten, New Britain, Plainville and Bristol. The new idea is to play one game week, on Saturday, making home games occur every other Saturday. Manager Belden of the Plainville club is at the head of the scheme,
 Waterbury has been without good base ball since 1886 and a strong team would be we'll patronized here. It is be- lieved that the gentlemen wno invested their money in the sport here for several seasons, would be willing to try it again if admission could be secured in g good league. The state league plan does not meet with favor.

TTnE LOSS OF HAIR.
What to do to Prevent it-Va2uable Prac.
 tical Suggestions.

-
 tical Suggestions.
 There are few rules necessary for the care of the hair when in healthy condition, but unless these few arc ob- served the loss of hair inevitably follows at an early age.
 The hair needs brushing every day, with brush that is not too stiff, and washed with soap and water once or twice week. It is not unusually good practice to wet the hair every morn ing, as it tends to cause badness. Fine toothed combs should never be used to remove dandruff, and ordinary combs should only be used to part the hair. If the scalp itches, rub the head with the hands, running the fingers through the hairs to give the scalp a gentle massage treatment. Premature badness arises from great many causes, and each cause should properly require different treatment. Fevers and dry state of the skin will often produce it; a general de- bility of the system will frequently ef- feet the hair producing tissues of the skin and cause badness, while erysipe- las, eczema, and other skin diseases, are frequently scources of the trouble. The most general cause, however, is dandruff' the nature of which is not we'll under stoood by physicians. It will sometimes cause the hair -tofall out in places, and again extend over the whole head and face, including eye lashes, eye brows and beard. Hair can not be restored to the head until the disease causing the falling out has been removed. If it is due to general debility, local stimu- lants will often restore it partially. In using such washes it is usually better to take some that are we'll known, rather than the patent preparations. Rosemary, capiscum, mustard and can. tharides are the best for this purpose, but ih extreme cases stronoar washes mEst be used

THE FIRE BOARD
Adjourn Again Last Night Without Transacting Any Business.

IrQnHaCtInS Any buSlneSS.
 The board of fire commissioners met again last evening but adjourned until next Monday evening without trans acting any business. The board is evi- dently at loss what to do in regard to the ''call' system, having met with but little encouragement from either repub- licans or democrats. The efficiency of the present fire department, under dis couraging circumstances, and the alac rity of the members in responding to the many recent alarms, is worthy of the highest prais SC. At the fires Thursday evening three companies turned out over sixty men, and had their hose laid before the arrival of the chief engineer. In the face of this the fire commissioners claim that the department is behind the age and propose to improve it by hiring twen- ty or thirty men for about fifteen cents each per day. Anybody of ordinary judgment can see that such move in the department and the city would be at the mercy of the fifteen cent "call' men.
 It is said that even Ex-Chief Snagg, who probably has more influence over the commissioners than anyone we can think of just now, IS opposed to the in troduction of the "call' system. In his last report to the court of common council Chief Suagg said:
 "In conclusion 1 desire to tender my sincere thanks to the officers and mem- bers of the department for the prompt, able and willing manner with which they have responded to the calls for their assistance
 Acting Chief Bassett agreed yesterday that the system proposed by the fire commissioners was very imperfect one.

Den1als of Rumors by Railroad Men
 Count for Nothing.
 The New Haven News says in regard to the many rumors concerning Ihe railroads of Connecticut There may be nothing in the rumor that the liar lem road is to deliver freight from Fort Morris to Brewsters for the New Eng land road. and yet the New England has been working for years to secure With such facilities the company would have moreaise for the piers 1t has ob- tained in New York, after tremendous efforts in the New York legislature and elsewhere, than it can ever hope to have by it's Wilson's Point transfer. Moreover and this is of the greatest importance in these days-there would be saving in time by the transfer at Port Morris. That is particularly consldera. tion when the Consolidated road has begun the experiment of fast through freights between New York and Boston. And thereln Is per haps an explanation of the recent open ing of a Consolidated road freight office m Rost on. It was announced at the time that it was only bureau of in formation, but we may be allowed to ruess that, in connection with the ex- press freight ! trains,i it is blow at the New England freight business, delivered in Boston, for which the New England may now be trying to counter at the New York end.
 In all this there is apparent spirit of antagonism to the New England road and purpose on the part of the Con solidated road to strengthen its position and to establish itself as an independent corporation. Free form entanglements, it may be better able to continue the perpetual fight, which only occasionally becomes a public quarrel, as when the rival corporations meet in the halls ol tbe lobbies) of legislation. The last meeting of that kind, it will be remem bered, resulted in the Consolidateo roads securing permission to obtain the desired tinews of war.
