TherregucDcy of fatal accidents causedby
the explosion OF gasoline caIelessly hand

part of the victims that would be laugha-
Bile, if the results were not SO shockingly
serious. 1t is very singular, as the dan
gerously iDflammable nature of the fluid
is generally known, that people are not
only from blaze, but even from whatever
emits heat in 4 strong degree. The gas of
this fluid develops very rapidly wien brought
in contact with hot air, and the explosion is
sudden and violent. People Should have
sense enough not to use the stuff where
there is any possibility Of the gas being
developed by heat and brought to tie ex-
plodiDg point.
BY ordinary precaution the ma. .orty of
gasoline accidents could be avoided. The
law has thrown proper safeguards around
the sale and handling of the fluid in stores.
but it cannot enter the private dwelling
and protect persons against their own folly
and negligence. The observance of one
simple rule would prevent all gasoline ex-
plosions. II is this: 'ron't carry gaso-
line in an open vessel: if in a can. have the
aperture covered with caps as soon as the
fluid has been poured out. and cont bring
it near a stove, burning lamp, candle or
lighted match. whether in can or cup. If
these precautions are Observed there will
be no more gasoline explosions.

hill tina they need Ro longer entertai the
fear that the building may suddenly col
lapse. Their Joy will he chilled, however,
by the Information that there is still dam
ger OF great loss OF life from fire in case Of
panic" In order to reduce this to a
minimum Col. Wilson recommends that new
stairway be put in and enclosed III brick,
and the old wooden teams and colum MS be
replaced with steel. He points out that
these chuDges would seriously interfere with
the work Of the office for the time being.
One would think that this oh iect on should
not carry much weight, for the security
of human life is certainly OF greater mo
ment than a temporary interruption of any
or all work AT the government printing
shop. Fireproof- stairways are a prime
necessity in building where several thou
sand people have to work eight hours every
day. The knowledge that there are such
would contribute greatly 10 lessen the ap-
they would he reasonably sure of getting
safely to the ground floor and out of the
building so long as the stairs held out
against the encroachment of the Flames.
The temporary cessation of work should
not be allowed to count for a minute as
against removing the one great peril which
still threatens the men and women en-
ployed in the Old ramshackle structure.
The account, in Col. Wilson'S report, of
the repairs on the building, still leaves on
the mind the impression that no matter how
extensive these may be, they cannot rem
der it as secure as an edifice should be
that houses SO large a number of people
At the best they re only makcshift, put

ton. The necessity OF a new building is
just as urgent as ever, for in the natural
| order of things the work of the Government
| Printing Office will increase and so will
| the number Of people employed there. Ad-
| ditioDal machinery will be needed and the
amount of material stored will constantly
become larger, thus adding to the pres

| All this points TO a new building, nor

journ without provision being made for the
purchase of a site and the commencement

States.
There is no doubt about the fact
that the jingoes are now realizing
that their opportunity to howl and
shout about war is slipping away
from them, because the American
people, acting upon sober second
thought, have condemned the fuss
over the Cuban question and dis
sipated the thunder of the sangui-
nary members of the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations who
for a brief spell filed the public
eye to the exclusion of all other
things and matters. The great
body of the people are beginning
to ponder over the position taken
by Secretary Onley and the more
they consider it the frmer is their
belief that his views are those of
an able and deliberative states
man, and his ground so tensble
that Congress in the end will be
forced to unload as gracefully az
possible the Cameron resolution
and allow the Cuban question tc
rest where it is until, as President
Cleveland stated in his message
the situation and conditions in the
island become so grave that the
Intervention of the United Slater
will become necessary in order K
prevent q needless sacrifice of hu
man life and to protect American
interests.
Secretary Olney stands by hi
assertion that the recognition of &
new State rests with the Presiden
Independent of any action on thu
part of Congress, and in this he i
supported by many of the ables
statesmen and constitutional law
yers in the country. When tn
Senate takes up the Cameron re
solution, however, Secretary Olne
, and the position he has taken vii
! be sharply attacked by the jung
senators who by their war-like at
titudes, have plunged the countr,,
, into excitement, but we are conf
