The New York Hurly-Burly.

The New York Sun thus kindly chaffs an
esteemed contemporary:
I'VE observe with mild interest that so
Tar as our scrapbOOk contemporary the
evening Post, possesses any influence over
the political opinions of anybody, it Is now
exercising the same most industriously for
the benefit of the Hon. David B. HILL"
These be strange times in more than one
New York newspaper office, and the out
Side world is taking note with much more
than mild interest"
Stranger than the attitude of the Evening
Post toward David B. Hill is that of the
Sun itself toward Grover Cleveland Had
some forecaster of political events declared
few years ago that the Stuffed Prophet"
would become a great statesman in the
Suns estimation and the Suns hope of the
country he would have been laughed at
And yet TO that complexion have matters
now come. The Sun at that time was most
severe in its denunciation of Mr.. Cleveland,
and most eulogistic in its treatment of Mr..
Hill. The Evening Post at that time was
most severe in it's denunciation of Mr.. Hill,
and most eulogistic in its treatment of Mr..
Cleveland. The Sage of Princeton Is now
the Suns hero, while Mr.. Hill is-well, not
as black in the Evening Posts estimation
as formerly.
If we turn to the New York Times we
find case quite as novel. That able jour-
nal was for years one Of Mr.. Hills most
extreme critics. 1t labeled him with the
sobriqEet of peanut politician" 1t fought
him at every turn. Today it is with him
heart and soul in the Parker campaign &C
cepts his leadership, and under it Is giving
the Parker boom great deal of valuable
assistance. 1t rejoices in those arts Of the
Sage of Wolferts Roost which at one time
provoked it's wrath and developed its CEN
ceived from other New York sources the
encouragement that has marked the course
Of the Times, there would never have been
doubt as to Judge Parker's success at st.
Louis.
Nor should we forget the New York
World, which. in the face of his trust rec
ord, his bond deal record, and other things,
started out in this fight booming Mr.. Cleve-
land, and, although for Parker now, would
gladly accept the eX-President as the can
didate. 1t would likewise support Mr..
Olney. whose dismissal from the second
Cleveland cabinet 1t warmly demanded.
These things merely show what the polit-
ical wbirligig has wrought in New York
since Iryanism seized the democratic party
and threw 1t into commissions. Both news
papers and men have been trying this thing
and that for relief and what was once ones
poison has now become cne's meat, and vice
versa. The Sun will have its little JOKE but
In this case 1t should not limit the jokes ap-
o!ication.

Of the comic opera field. and simply have

At all events, Colonel Perdicaris seems 20
be in fine fettle, writes buoyantiy ana en-
tertainingly. has his eyes open ana Is ao-
sorbing the scene in all of its picturesque
ness and instruction; and If we do not get
from him upon his return a readable story
of the episode in one form or another his
letter is misleading.

Perhaps not. But you must give me

Anarchy in Colorado,
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
II the civil war in Colorado were merely
a local disturbance. significant Of nothing
except as indicating a lax state Of public
morals and a crude and imperfect social or
ganization. 1t would be serious enough; but
as showing what is the inevitable outcome
Of class conflict when unrestrained by q
well-organized public opinion In favor OF
the supremacy Of law under all conditions,
1t Is appalling.

The soul is safe in heaven
Safe in the arms OF Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
His love over shadowed
Sweetly his soul shall rest

Big Whiskey Fire in Peoria.

Peoria, Ills, June Am eX-
plosion, which occurred this after
noon in the eleven-story ware
house Of the Corning Distillory,
the second largest in the world,
completely wrecked the building.
The ruins Immediately took fire
and communicated to three ad-
Joining buildings, burning them to
the ground. Ten mon were bur
led beneath the ruins and burned to
death, and six others were ser.
iously injured. The loss on bull
dings and whiskey and spirits
stored will approximate $1,000 :
600. The fire spread to the stock
yards district, where dozen
cattle barns, filled with cattle for
market were burned.
The ware house, containing in
the neighborhood of 10000 bar
rels OF whiskey, was instantan-
eously seethlng caldron and
the whiskey from the burning
barrels flooded everything in that
section. Large streams ran
down grade toward the river, and
in a short time there was a foot
of whlskey in the cattle pens east
of the ware house, where 1000
steers were chained fast. Their
distress lasted but few moments
however, for they were soon
roasted to death or suffucated
They were the property of Dood
and keifer, of Chicago. 1t is
impossible to compute their loss,
but i: will amount to thousands
cf dollars.
