CITY HALL IN FLAMES.
Brooklyn's Municipal Building Badly
Damaged.

Damaged.
BROOKLYN. Feb. 97.-Three alarms
were sent out at 7:45 o'clock this morn
ing for a ire which started in the
apartments of the janitor of the city
hall. The fremen experienced great
difficulty in getting water on account
of frozen hydrants and before the fire
man could attack the fire it had spread
from the floor to the clock tower and
cupola. At s:45 a. M, the tower fell to
the roof with crash. The large bell
formerly used as fire bell was melted
by the intense heat. At $3.50 the fire
was under control and was confined to
the upper floors. AS far as can be
learned no one was injured. The fam
lily of Keeper Dunno had narrow es-
cape from death. The loss is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Flom our regular Correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 1, 1895.
Senator German was compelled to
withdraw his amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, authorizing the
secretary OF the treasury TO issue certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness to meet the deficit
in the revenues, because of an agreement
among opposing senators to talk away
the rest of the session, if he didn't; but
before doing so he made speech in
which were some remarkable charges
against a democratic secretary of the
treasury, to be made by a democratic
senator. He said that the responses of
the secretary of the treasury to inquiries
of the senate, as to whether this legisla-
tion was needed, were on their face mis-
leading; that there would be deficit
for the fiscal year of sec, 900, 600 and for
the calendar year of $50 1000, 600; that
treasury officials had acknowledged to
him (Gorman) personally that there was
mistake of $50, ,O0O, 900 in Secretary Car
isles figures of the amount of money
now availableEto meet government in
debtedness; that the expenditures had
been underestimated by Secretary Car
Isle to the extent of $40, ,0o0, 900, and he
added: ''The truth is, that they (treas-
ury oaicials) made a mistake about a
year ago in making up their balances Of
$So, ,O0O, 900, and they have been trying
to adhere to it ever since" Mr.. Cor

UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

We have never believed in paternal-
ism on the part of the government, but
have subscribed to the doctrine that
that government governs best that gov
erns least. In other words, that the
citizen should be allowed the fullest lib
erty in all things consistent with the
best interests of all. We have smiled
at Bellamy's Utopian ideas, and have
dismissed, as unworthy of serious con-
sideration the proposition that the gov
ernment should take charge of the tele-
graph and railroad lines. We confess
that our opinions have undergone de-
cided change on this latter subject, and
hence have taken a long step towards
Bellamyism; for if it once conceded
that the government may manage the
telegraph and railroad lines, the accept
ance of the propriety of its assuming
the management of the rolling mills to
make it's own rails and the mines to
make it's own iron, is a natural Sc
quence.
The railroad corporations have changed
the opinions of many on these subjects
within the past year, and are still rap
idly making converts. If the govern
ment can appoint receivers to take
charge of and run the railroads in the
interest of their stockholders, we see no
reason why it cannot do the same thing
in the interest of the people. The ques-
tion of transportation would then be
settled; there would be no strikes, be-
cause the employees would be enlisted
for a certain number of years, at fixed
wages, and the roads would only be
compelled to earn enough to pay oper-
ating expenses and the cost of main
tainance. This action upon the part of
the government would be contrary to
the ideas of the great majority of people,
but if the railroads are to hide behind
the robes of justice to shield themselves
from her DEGREES, this result will finally
be reached, as surely as that the law
cannot be forever violated. The gov
ernment now has this very question to
decide in the cases of the Union and
Central Pacific roads.
The Reilly funding bill provided that
the roads should pay the principal of
their debts, on the passage of the bill,
and should be given fifty years to pay
the balance, with 2 per cent interest
year until paid. Against this bill the
people of California, Nevada, and the
states through which the roads run are
up in arms. They claim, and justly,
that if the bill is passed, it simply turns
the people over to the roads for fifty
years steady and systematic plundering ;
and that they, and not the railroad
companies, will have these millions to
pay. This is largely true.
What action will be taken in the mat
ter it is hard to foresee, yet if the bill,
or some similar one, is not passed, the
government must either lose the $780,
O0O, 900 the roads owe it, or take posses
sion of them. We believe the latter
course, under the circumstances, would
be best, for it would furnish an oppor-
tunity TO test the question as to whether
the government can operate a railroad
more cheaply than a private company.
The experiment is worth trying.
