ton and disgust that the President should
interfere to cause a surrender by 1t to the
sugar trust in defiance Of public opinion,
no matter what promises had been made
BY and In behalf of the President as q
candidate In respect to q duty on sugar.
But the House was calm, and so probably
would the Senate have been, II the Presi-
dent had not added to his suggestion that
coal and iron ought to be free. a denuncia-
ton Of the taxing of these articles as politi-
cally perfidious and dishonorable. Speaking
through Mr.. German the Senate replies to
the charge Of party perfidy: Its not so!'
and: You're anotherr' and introduces ex-
tremely Interesting evidence in defense.
1t was clearly unwise on the Presidents
part to be 50 severe with the conservative
Senators for an alleged violation of political
platform promises. Even Il he had not as
charged by Mr.. German, Intentionally
assented to the Senate amendments and
participated in this particular 'perfidy." he
had most certainly violated outrageously
and persistently in the local recordership
appointments the pledge OF the bome-rule
plank OF the democratic platforms. Are
there platform planks Of which the viola
ton Is perfidy. and others to which no obli-
CATION attaches. and which may be broken
with impunity?
The President would be stronger with the
people In his demand of free coal and free
Iron. If he had also fought for free sugar
When Mr.. German says that the Presi-
dent had promised dutiable sugar among
his prediction pledges. and intimates that
his interest in free coal is of personal
character, he returns a Roland fer the
Presidents 'perfdy' Oliver. 1t is q very
interesting mud-slinging encounter.

There was a fire In the Government Print
ing Office yesterday. Only a small one 1T
Is true. but 1t might easily have been large
enough to bring about the destruction of
the building and incidentally the departure
from earth Of several hundred souls. In
itself the in4dent was Insignificant, but 1t
served to once more call attention to the
shameful neglect of Congress. Every per-
son who has examined the main Govern
ment Printing ONCE structure on H and
North Capitol streets has condemned il
while many of those who daily toll therein
are aware of weaknesses not apparent to
the casual Investigator. Public printers
have reported as to its unfitness and its
dangers; architects and builders have
echoed the warnings, and congressional
committees have contributed words to the
king chapter of protests. but no conclusion
has been reached. nor does there appear to
be any likelihood of agreement between
those whose harmonious action Is necessary
before anything can be done to materially
improve present conditions. The Senate
appears to be willing to do what 1t can, and
the House seems to be just as anxious as
the Senate ever was. but one insists upon
what 1t affects to believe Is the best site
while the other is quite sure that il alone
has the correc: idea as to where the new
rrintins-office building should be located
All sorts of influence have been exertsd in
behalf of property-owners. who ha ting
failed to sell to private parties. wanted the
government for a customer; each failing to
secure a verdict in his own favor seems to
have engaged with spirit in the work of
making 1T certain that no one else should
succeed. II Is altogether too bad that the
Congress Of the United States finds itself
unable TO rise superior to petty considera-
tons and do its duty by itself and by the
thousands Of men and women who labor for
a livelihood in what Congress itself con-
cedes is an unsuitable. unhealthy and IN
safe building Is it possible that this seS-
sion will come to an end without appropria-
tive action by the two houses? There was.
Il will be remembered. a similar deadlock
over the City Post Office site. but the COM
nittees CT the House and Senate managed
finally to get together and the result was
an agreement Why may not a joint COM
nlittee do as well in this Government Print
Ing Office matter?

BnItin,ore's Eyes Arc Being Opened

From the Baltimore News.
Baltimore has had vivid Illustration re-
Gently OF the perils to life and property
from the overhead electric wires. Last
week the frc-alarm system was suddenly
paralyzed 10y the destruction OF the plant

most helpless should a great conHagra-
ton have occurred Temporary arrange

tiers were got into efficient working order
again. Last night the elements of mischief
Sot among the wires OF all sorts and for
hours there was condition of general de-
rlloralization. The electric wires dropped
from their fastenings the trolley lines
sltpped FROM their places and traiied flaming
and s1uttering in the street, and the tele-
graph system was also in trouble. Wood
WORK was set on fire IN scmc places by the
live electric wires and pedestrians we're en-
posed 80 danger by the trolley lines that
had fallen where people are accustomed to
thoughTlcssiy pass. 1t was a. time Of serious
dana'er- Tor on every street where a wire
was stretched there was the possibility Of
il falling and eiectrocuting any one who
happened to be walking beneath. /. Even
BONE OF the metal poles were full of the

incGutioakly touched them. No more vivid

community ia exposed by the overhead

1t Is but little while since most of the
Baltimore newspapers reached what seemed
to be conclusion favorable to the overhead
wires of the trolley system The delights of
rapid transit were dwelt upon. and touching
excuse was made for the increased NOR
tality which was consequent upon the adop-
ton Of what. to Baltimore, seemed to be an
ideal system of strset-car propulsion. But
experience teaches even Baltimoreans. and
there is now a lively and rapidly-growing
sentiment which condemns the overhead
wires as nuisances. and demands their
speedy burial beneath the surface Of the
streets. This change has not been brought
about by missionary work. nor by the dis
semination of theory; 1t Is the direct result
of close personal acquaintance with the
much-lauded system. Electric-light wires
and trolley wires have recently combined on
more than one occasion to paralyze the
city's fire-aia:m system. and on Sunday
night thousands of people were in danger
of electrocution from falling wires and
crossed wires and poles into which the
vagrant current had been permitted TO rum
1t Is difficult to understand how the fatali-
ties that were on tap were avoided. but the
scod sense of the people of Baltimore is
doubtless responsible for the fact that no
deaths ensued. Why may not that same
good sense be used in a campaign against
all overhead wires? 1t has been demon
strated that underground wires have never
in any way, interfered with the workings
of the fire department. or threatened the
public safety in any event. The argument
Is made BY those who insist upon overhead
wiring. that the conduit systems are ex-
pensive. That they are more expensive
than non-burial is broadly, perhaps, true
but the superior service rendered by the I'M
foreground wires and the reduced cost of
maintenance more than compensate TO- the
increase in the first cost of equipment.
Washington has steadily insisted upon the
burial OF all manner of electrical wires, and
hopes. IN the near future. to be able to boast
OF being an American city in which all the
wires are safely laid in conduits.

GREAK FIRES In CoLoRADo.

BOULDER, Col. Nov, 25.-A
fierce fire is raging at Ward and
Gold Hill. Gold Hill has been
abandoned to the flames. TIE
inhabitants, numbering 800.
have fed after leaving their val
uables in mining tunnels.
The fire swept over an area Of
eight miles. 1t is now spreaing
towards Copper Rock, and it is
believed many small camps will
be burneds Residents of Gold
Hill who have not come TO Boul-
der have assembled on top of
Horseflee mountain and are
watching the progress of the de-
vouring flames as they destroy
their former homes. The wind
is blowing furiously and drives
the fire before 1t in large sheets
Of flame.
The property loss cannot esti-
mated, but it will amount to
over 80, 100000. There will neca
essarily be great destitution.
Over 800 men are fighting the
fires approach at West Gold Hill
which seems to sweep everything
before it in its trend over the
mountains and through the val
ley ranches. Women and chill
dren are continually arriving in
this city for protection and the
scene is one Of excitement and
destruction. Teamsters from
Ward, Gold Hill and Sunshine
are bringing panic stricken peo-
pie from the burnin G districts
which include, Camp Talcott
Sunset Copper Rock, Left Hand
and Gold Hill.
Gold Lake, fishing place and
summer resort, three miles west
Gold Hill is entirely burned out
and nothing is left Of the cottages.
The air in this city is heavily
laden with smoke. The TIRE is
spreading north and south and
the damage will be great to prop
erty and timber. One life is re-
ported lost.

A New Party.

A new political party is about
to be born. 1t is stated in some
of the leading journals. that
there is an understanding among
the silver men that they will de-
mand of the Republicans, the
insertion of an unconditional free
coinage plank in their platform
in 1896. In the event OF the fail
ure of the Republicans to grant
them thsirrvrequest, they will
withdraw and formulate . plat
form with ouly two planks; one
for free coinage Of ofsilver to catch
the Populists and all other class
es in the West, and one for pro-
lection to American industries
to catch the laborers of the East.
1t Is stated that senator Cam
eron OF Penn. has ageed to join
the movement anil he is spoken
of as Presidential timber.
