The slow progress which is being made with
the Home Rule bill is effectively shown by the
fact that it has taken full fortnight to dis
pose of a single cause.-the third clause of
Section /, which was finally passed yesterday.
The plan Of the Opposition is to tire out MIR.
Gladtone's supporters, if possible. by proposing
amendments without limit and debating them
at the utmost length. The contest for Homo
Rule bids fair to resolve itself into simple
contest Of physical endurance.
In financial point of view the Columbian
Exposition seems to he getting on its feet
The attendance is now satisfactorily large and
the treasury is no longer in condition of col
lapse. Some of the railroads have wisely
begun to reduce their fares. and there is reason
20 hope that the movement in this direction
will become general. Inevitably the Fair will
suffer from the financial depression that is pro-
ducing so many unfortunate results, but the
necessity of attracting people to Chicago is be-
coming generally recognized and the effects
are already apparent. II may be said once
more that all who can go ought TO go to the
Fair
Colonel Ainsworth absented himself yester-
day from the Washington inquest and there
was no repetition of the sensational scenes of
Monday. The Colonel, however has applied
to the Supreme Court of the District for a
mandamus authorizing him to attend the in
quest in person and by counsel, and in doing so
has made statement in which he denies all
responsibility for the accident and claims that,
in his judgment, the building was safe. This
statement cannot be accepted as satisfactory. in
view Of the general feeling Of the occupants
OF the old theatre that il was death-trap
momcntany liable to fall It's condition was,
in fact, notorious. Some one must be re-
spnsiblc for its use under The circumstances.

More adequate flc-e.capes and cooler heads
would in all probability have prevented the
sad loss Of life at an East Side fire yesterday.
The building in which il occurred could hardly
have been more poorly constructed for the Use
10 which il was put. There was. of course. the
dulnb-waiter shaft which carried the flames in
a momen; from the bottom 10 the top. and
when the men and women at work within per-
ceved their danger wild rush for the fire
escapes followed. At least one Of the ladders
was not properly adjusted, and in the confusion
many sprang to the ground. several with fatal
results No new lesson is taught by this oc-
currence But il is dishcarcnng to reflect that
in hundreds Of other buildings similar ccnd-
tions exist. and that panic of the same kind
may occur any hour.

of having epilepsy AMI insane decisions. Inc
testimony offered in support OF this contention
included the ailidavits Of five physicians who
had never seen the juror in question: but VINO
believed from the accounts Of others that he had
parcsis or epilepsy, or both. 1t is most re-
gretabe that reputable physicians allow them
selves TO be used in such a way. District
Attorney Nicoll's dcnuncaion OF them was
justified, and the Recorder should not hesitate
to cast aside their evidence as unworthy OF
