THE HARTFORD CATASTROPHE.

Another frghtful disaster repeats the warn
ing, often heard and soon forgotten, that the
laws Of nature are remorselessly executed. The
destruction of the Park Central Hotel at Hart
ford, with loss OF life which cannot yet be
accurately stated, was certainly not the act
OF God in the sense in which that phrase is
used to acquit human beings Of delinquency.
The earliest theory, that the hotel boilers had
exploded and wrecked the building, was some
what discredited by the later announcement
that no fragments of the boilers had been
found and an explanation of the catastrophe
was suggested in the assertion that the hotel
stood On made land and had showed repeated
signs OF instability from the time Of its cree
ton. The first report may probably be true,
but it is at least significant that another pos
sble cause was so readily found. In either
event, it is apparent that the responsibility
cannot be shifted from human shoulders upon
the Deity. Boilers do not explode except in
consequence Of carelessness, and buildings
which have been honestly constructed do not
threaten to collapse. II is altogether likely.
moreover, that weak or neglected boilers and
frail foundations are both involved Certain
ly the collapse might not have been so sudden
and complete if the explosive force had met
with greater resistance.
The landlord had the extraordinary fortune
to be rescued after many hours of suffering and
danger. 1t is to be hoped that he was ac-
curately acquainted with the management Of
his hotel, and will be able to give a full and
frank account Of the state Of things before the
disaster. The public will want to know whether
he had reason to suspect that the boilers were
originally defective or stood in need of repairs
which had been postponed until more con-
venient season; whether he employed sLifuI
engineer to take care Of them, or trusted the
lives Of his patrons to an incompetent man
with an easy conscience; whether he was aware
that the settling of the walls indicated such an
instability of the foundations as might become
ruinous at any moment, and was therefore
perilous all the time.
These questions ought to be searchingly put
and explicitly answered. 1t will not be enough
for the landlord to say that he was not afraid
to expose himself, his family and his fortune
to the remote chances Of disaster. Every one
knows that one Of the prevailing characteristics

SUpERYISTON OF THE JNSANE.

The care of the insane is one Of the leading
subjects before the Legislature at this time.
Among the pending measures is one introduced
by Mr.. Mase that especially commends itself
on the ground Of humanity II is, in brief, an
attempt to provide more adequate system Of
inspection, in imitation Of that which has given
England pre-eminence in the consderate care
of the insane, and which has been adopted by
several of our States, 1t is proposed to estab-
lish State Commission in Lunacy to consist
Of three members, one physician, one lawyer
and one business man, whose duty it shall be
to make frequent inspections of all asylums,
public and private, examine all new patients
and invoke the necessary power to effect re-
forms. The necessity of placing physician and
lawyer upon the commission is obvious. One
Of the members is to have q moderate salary,
and will no doubt be expected to devote his
time to the work. The others will be paid only
by days service. There can be no question
that the existence of such a system of thorough
inspection would not only remove abuses but
would prevent them, which is more important.
There is now only one officer to do this work,
though the number Of insane confined in asy-
lums has trebled since the present system was
established.
The bill makes provision for a complete
registration of all the insane in custody, and
also Of all judges and physicians qualified to
take part in commitments, as well as Of all
nurses and attendants discharged for cause.
It's object is, in general, to introduce greater
degree of system in the entire supervision Of
tha incana an innrovamant which will he nc
much in the interest of these unfortunate wards
of society as in that of the public itself The
bill is understood to have the approval of the
State Board of Charities and the State Charities
Aid Association, and ought to pass.

GET At TIE WHOLE TRUTH

In acknowledging that he has been ma ing
mistaken use of his department by cru 10y
ing his assistant to defend the Contro ers
Office in the West Washington Market ini sti-
CATION, the Corporation Counsel has dOB the
sensible and manly thing The sort Of courage
which is exhibited by public official who con-
cedes that he has committed serious error OF
judgment is so rare as TO call for commcnda-
tion. Mr.. Wickes undoubtedly tried TO be az
fair as he could, and in many ways he was OF
service TO the Commissioners Of Accounts, but
under his instructions from Mr.. Beexnnn he
was forced to appear the active partisan OF the
Controller, and as the Controllers attitude
toward the investigation has been from the
start an attitude Of intense hostility, Mr..
Wickes's influence has been necessarily an
tagonstic to the city's interests. We ore glad
the Corporation Counsel realizes this, and is
now awakened to n sense Of his real duty. The
only danger is lest his conversion has come too
late
There is no doubt whatever that when the
Commissioners adjourned on Friday they were
on the point Of discovering the whole truth
about this market knayery Disclosures Of
other cases Of bribery would have been made
but for the mischievous conduct of the
Controller in taking vengeance upon the wit
ness Kilby. His action was an iltolerable
abuse Of power even in it's most Innocent phase,
but when the effect Of it upon the ctx's other
witnesses is considered, IL is enoughito justify
the Controllers immediate removal. Tho
marketmen should understand that they are in
no danger from Controller Myers. Their only
peril lies in keeping silent The Constitution
of the State offers them immunity IL they will
come forward and testify to acts Of bribery
in which a public official has participated The
Controller is not likely to repeat his retaliatory
action Of Saturday, but il he does, IL will GER
tainly result in his removal from Office. lie
may be relied upon, we are quite confident, to
pursue an exceedingly meek and lowly policy
until the investigation is concluded.
The Commissioners have done their duty in
deciding to pursue the inquiry despite the ad-
ded difficulties in their way, and Mr.. Ncoll
should not hesitate, as he surely will not, TO
obey their summons and serve as their counsel
1t should be brought clearly before the minds
Of the marketmen that the only safe course for
them is to come forward and tell the truth, and
in the meantime, Inspector Byrnes should be
asked to Keen his eyes fixed uDon the Control

IL is reported that the Aldermen think that
the local executive departments have fotmed a
trust TO take all the powers now vested in the
Common Council" We do not imagine that this
report or the state Of things which it foreshadows
will produce settled melancholy throughout the
community. There is a common belief, with a
good basis OF fact, too that the Aldermen have
quite enough power, shorn as il has been, for
their own good or the good of the public Ex-
perience has shown that the more limited tho
range Of the New-Yorl Alderman the less likely is
he TO harm himself or others The curtaling pro-
