ant room, and every possible provision
is made for the comfort of patrons. Sew

peared on western waters. Some minor

THE HOSPITAL FIRE.

1t is scarcely possible to conceive Of catas-
trophe more dreadful in its circumstances and
incidents than the burning OF the Indiana Sur
cical Institute. A sudden summons to strug-
gle for life against flame and smoke is appalling
when the general conditions arc not specially
unfavorable to escape. But a fire in hospital
filed with patients who can do little or nothing
to help themselves, and who are penncd in a
nimsy and ill-planned structure, almost touches
the last limits OF the horrible. These were the
conditions surrounding the tragedy at Indianapo-
lis. Scarcely more than a quarter OF an hour
was available for the work of rescue. There is
no reason to doubt that everything possible to
be done in that time was DONE There is not
often conspicuous lack Of courage and skill
and energy in such emergencies, and the dis
patches say that these qualities were nobly dis
played in this instance. Scores of persons who
might have remained in safety chose to risk
their lives for others As usual the opportunity
for hcloism was not neglected.
One Of the most painful reflections suggested
by such miserable events is the contrast between
the unsefsh devotion which they inspire and
the criminal indifference to obligation which
makes them possible. An awful load of respon-
sibility rests upon those who maintained the
Institute in the state in which the fire found it.
The same responsibility rested upon them be-
fcre but they carried it easily. They probably
feel the burden now. There is no deficiency of
fortitude and generosity in the American people
| What they lack is that keen moral sense, that
conviction of personal accountability, which
would forecast and avert the pcrils of infammablC
materials and bad construction. A conhagration
was not required to prove that this hospital, de-
voted to the care and cure of crippled and help
| less beings, was a fretrap. No doubt many
were surprised at the rapidity Of its destruction
There is always unreasonable establishment
under such circumstances. 1t is n part of the
wful ignorance and indifference which produce
vast sum of misery Every catastrophe like
this induces a sense of awe and duty. But the
general effect is momentary. Owners and agent,
relapse into complacent neglect OF danger; sales
are made and rents collected as cheerfully a'
before and the old risks are defed without any
confession of cupability. To-day the worlt
shudders at the needless sacrifice Of many lives

restricted by protective duties. But the first

exports far surprising those OF any previous year
in the history of the country.

THE NATIONS PROGRESS

II is about time for the calamity -WaclS to slIS-
pend their wailings. Talk about the prostrat0n
Of industry and the sagnatOn of business is be-
coming too absurd even COR an Alliance lecturer.
1t is almost always the case that in some States
or parts of the county, or in one or more branches
of business. there is comparative dulncss or en-
barrassmcnt. But it is the demon>tlable fact
that business as "a whole has never been larger
in volume than it is now. Tho actual payments

January than in any previous year The earnings
Of siXty-twO railroads for the same week cX-
ceedcd those Of the same roads last year by 7.j9
per cent The output of pig-ir0n is much the
largest ever known for the 1St Of January and
practically equal to that of December, which was
the largest ever recorded. The takingS of cot
| ton by spinncrs in the first half Of January
| have been almost as large as year ago in Slite
OF the fact that in four months ending December
3 their tallings had exceeded those Of the pre-
vious or any previous year by 10000 bales, or
more than l per cent
But increase is not seen in domestic trade
only. The exports from this country in Dcccm-
| Der were the largest ever known in any month
| They surpassed even the exports Of November
| probably by more than Sj,O00,00O. Yet the
| exports Of November had surpassed those of any
other month in the history Of the country by
| 5000, 900, as the~expOrts of October had sur
passed any previous month by 81 300, 900. Prior
