THE PARK CENTRAL FIRE.

Hartford's Great Hotel Disaster
 Recalled By tho Syracuse One.
 "A few more fires like the terrible one in Syracuse, and the day of eleven story hotels is gone forever" said hotel man yesterday. You have no idea how Q large fire in a hotel affects our business. After the Park Central fire in Hartford fully ninety out of hundred guests re- fused to go above the third floor. Even regular boarders demanded change. They wanted lower berth, where they could get out easily in case of fire. Since the Leland fire in Syracuse, it has been just the same. Every guest wants a room on the first or second floor. Many of them refuse to go higher, and hunt another house because we cannot accommodate them. The best system of fire escape seems useless in such fire, and people realize this and refuse to risk their lives in upper stories. The hotel of the future win not exceed four stories in height, and in order to accom- modate as many guests will be spread out over a much larger territory"

Lunny and Baldwin Crate.

Henry c. Baldwin, the "labor" candi- date for governor, spoke to an audience of about 200 in the City hall last night. The meeting was called to order by M. J. Brzezinski, who introduced P. F. Lunny as president. Mir Lunny made 8 brief address, creating considerable en- thusiasm, and after warming up the au- dience gave way to Attorney Baldwin. The latter's address was not materially different from speeches he has delivered here on former occasions. He slashed right and left at both of the old parties, and said the tariff was a conspiracy on the part of the Shylocks of this country and Europe to raise an issue to keep the voters in the ranks of the two old parties.
 Tn Q willcox-Hubbard Debate.
 Regarding the postponement, perhaps indefinite, of the joint debate between Congressman Wilcox and J. M. Hub bard, the Middletown Press explains that Mir Willcox notified the republican town committee, who had the matter in have to be postponed one week on account of sickness, it being represented that Mir Hubbard, as the challenging party, was ready to meet Mir Wilcox at any time. c. G. Bacon and Mayor Briggs, chairmen of the respective town committees, called on Mir Colegrove to fix date. He informed the gentleman named that they could have the opera house this week, any evening except Monday and Friday. Mir Wilcox was so informed, and fixed upon Thursday evening as the date for the debate. The republican committee were so informed and declined to meet Mir Willcox or that evening, for some reason unknown claiming that MT Hubbard had a pre- vious engagement for that night. Wal it the intention of the republican towr committee to prevent the debate? Il looks that way.
 Nicholas Staub of New Milford, demo cratic candidate for comptroller, wal in town to-day. He says that the out look for the party is encouraging.

WORLD OF SPORTS

Messrs Day and Spaulding say that they "have no desire to meet with players who have nothing at stake. :" And yet Johnny Ward has nearly eight times the amount invested in the Brook lyn club that John B. Day started into the base ball with, while MT Spaulding did not have as much at stake when he started the Chicago club as either of the three members of the Players committee had this year.
 Arlie Latham says he dosen't know whether he is a member of the Clan-na- Gael, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers or the Nationalists. First he jumped the American association and joined the Players league when he was released by the latter he was sold by the American association, which he jumped, to the National league then the National league club sells out to the Pl0yers' league and he goes with it---

Strike in Bristol.

BRISTOL, Oct 31.-A small sized strike is in progress in Bristol. Clayton Brothers, on Union Hill, have had about g dozen Swedes in their employ and two Italians. This week they have hired another Italian. The Swedes immedi- ately gave notice that they would work no longer. During dispute about pay which followed, F. J. Clayton became angry and struck one of the Swedes a heavy blow in the eye. The Swedes then left and procured warrant for his arrest. He is to be tried before Justice Barnes to-day, MT Peck appearing for the state and Mir Pierce for the defense. The Claytons will probably soon obtain workmen.

Another Catholic Parish.

MANCHESTER, October 31 The Rev Father D. A. Haggerty this morning re- ceived notice from Bishop McMahon of Hartford that he had been appointed of Manchester and South Mar chester into two parishes. The move has long been expected by the Catholics, who thought that the size of the Catholic population oflSouth Manchester warrant ed the establishment of a separate parish. Father Haggerty for a number of years past has been curate at St
 Bridget's church in this town under the late Father Campbell. It was hoped by be appointed to succeed Father Camp bell, but his appointment as pastor of South Manchester is we'll received there.

 The decision of the interstate com merce commission, by Commissioner Bragg, was announced yesterday at Washington in the case of w. S. King & Go, a Boston firm, against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, and the New York 6 New England Railroad company, involving the question whether these rail lines can make joint through rate on shipments of flour from New York to Boston, lower at Boston to meet the competition of the Metropolitan Steamship line than the combined local rates of the two rail carriers from New York to Readville, for the shorter haul, where no such com petition exists, and it was decided that the carriers could do this without viola ting the long and short haul clause of the act to regulate commerce.

The Postage to Mexico.

Why do you Americans put five cents on letter to Mexico when two are enough?" asks a business man writing from the City of Mexico. "Is cash so abundant in Northern homes that you can so waste it? Pray tell your people that only 'phule' will put any more postage on a Mexican let ter or paper than on one destined for the United States else why the postal treaty?- One-half my correspondents thus foolishly contribute to Uncle Sam's exchequer.'' This advice is we'll timed. Most people know that letters to Canada need bear but two oeAts postage for each ounce or fraction thereof. but it is lees generally known that the same rate applies to letters sent to Mexico-which is too often re- garded as foreign country. y."-Spring, Held Republican.

EDITORIAL THEORY.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
In an editorial of the Advertiser
of Oct. 2lst is the following: Gun
less the cost of field labor comes
down very materially indeed, our
great industries will be so crippled
that the mechanic will come in for
his share of the loss and suffer
severely" etc. The above is only
one more sample of the many toots
blown from the horn of the Adver-
tiser during the last year or more,i in
order to brighten the workingmen
into passiveness and submission, so
that the planter can again open the
flood gates of Chinese invasion.
The whole course of the planter
proves conclusiveIy that he is no
friend of the white or native me-
chanic: he wants no such trash as
long as he can get Chinaman to
fill the bill F.; be it as carpenter, sugar
boiler, mason or engineer. And
mind you, if John Chinaman could
handle the blowing on plantations,
as well as the native, the native
could 90 to Jericho also or else come
down TO starvation wages.
Another thing, the planter wants
no one on his plantation who has the
independence and manhood to assert
and stand up for his rights when
trampled upon; therefore his yearn-
ing and pleading for servile coole
labor. Taken altogether the planter
in his past and present mood wishes
10 overrun the Islands with hordes
of Chinese cheap laborers to enrich
himself. He is to be looked upon
not as the great benefactor he would
fondly have the people believe, but
rather as the greatest embodiment
of selfishness, that ever appeared
within tn e realms of Hawaii nei.

FANRTlClSM AND INTOLERANCE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
In the Forum" for Sept. of the
present year appear an article en-
titled "The Christianity of the Flu
ture" which might supply the num-
erous fanatics and intolerant extrem-
lists of temperance preaching with
healthy food for thought. In COM
munity on the backward develop
ment' of Christianity during the
first decades after the coming OF
Christ and later, the author of the
article, Prof. John j. Blackie, shows
the extremes, from uncurbed license
to austere asceticism, into which the
early Christians went, and regarding
the latter goes on to say: "The
opposite extreme the denial of the
rights of the flesh altogether, was
more obvious and we have asceticism
in various forms. In the
New Testament the flesh is used as
comprehensive term to designate
sin generally, but to conclude from
this that the flesh has no rights, is
as absurd as it would be in work.
ingman to deny the right of his tools
to be kept in good working order,
or in rider to deny the right of his
horse TO be well fed and well cared
for. The flesh or the body or the
material outside of a man has as
much right to its own sound condi-
ton and healthy enjoyment as a
good house has TO a sound founda-
ton, or a good picture to sound
canvas. But of course every hasty
fool does not see this, so the newly
converted sinner, in his hurry to be-
come a saint, thinks he can eradi-
cate all vice at stroke by retreat
ing from every field where tempta-
ton is possible, and by abstaining
from every enjoyment that may
shoot up into vice. Hence ascot
icism and monkery, which look very
pretty in the lives of a certain class
of saints, but which in fact are only
a cheap method of getting freedom
from certain vices at bound, and
of acquiring the reputation of a
hero by refusing to fight battle.
For, say what we will, abstinence is
the despair of virtue. | abstain be-

Mr.. d. Howard Hitchcock, the
talented young Hawaiian artist, left
Honolulu by the Zealaudia TO begin
his studies and travels abroad. Mr..
Hitchcock had not, when he left,
fully matured his plans and hence
they are subject to change. 1t is a
pleasure to make this notice of a
home artist of Mr.. Hitchcock abil-
ity, and we have no hesilancy in
placing him before the public as
more than an amateur, from whom
his many friends and admirers in
Hawaii may expect to hear further
In actual and meritorious work.
Mr.. Hitchcock goes from here di-
rect TO New York, where he will re-
main few weeks getting his bear

Europe. He will probably take a

York to Hayre, He will go thence
to Paris where he will likely remain
two years studying under At least

Being countryman and loyal
subject of foreign government,
having its representative to the
court Of this kingdom, l was quite
struck with remark made use
of in my hearing to the effect that
a certain foreign dignitary was alb
sent during the hearing of a recent
case before the Supreme Court,
wherein the defendant Ga country
man of mine) was cited to appear in
court and show cause, etc.
How far it is rule, or custom,
among the foreign dignitaries to at
tend in Court, l don't pretend to
know, still it is not unusual to notice
their presnce in Court, as one often
reads in the newspapers; in fact l
have seen more than one instance OF
foreign representative present in
court watching the proceedings
against subject of his government,
whose liberty was at stake.
Of the recent case referred to, il
would be idle to say that the absent
dignitary had no knowledge of the
tendency of the matter, especially
as the case was pretty well known
among the members of certain So
cicty; and besides enough publicity
concerning it had been made by a
member of said society in one of the
newspapers whose local columns are
edited by fellow.

Hon. A. Marques spoke like one
who knew all about it the other day,
when he told the House that pretty
much the whole civilized world took
their ccnsuses this year. Therefore,
Hawaii, by adopting the reasonable
proposition of the Minister of Ftp
ance that, on account of shortness
of time, the census should be post
poned till next year, -would appear
foolish. Mr.. Marques was, however,
only showing ignorance in making
the statement in question as a
ground of opposing postponement,
as lie showed childishness-a thin
House confirming his juvenile petish-
ness-in moving in effect that the
Hawaiian census be abandoned alto
gether. The fact is that all great
nations do not take their censuses
in the years ending decades. Great
Britain and at least some of her
large dependencies take their cen
suses in the years beginning the dc
cades. AS those countries repre-
sent respectable number of mil
lions of the worlds population, Ha-
wall would have pretty tolerable
company in taking her census next
wear.
