opinion that the first four fires in the "New

l>cgan to suspect incendiarism. Last night the
tixth file broke ou?, this time in the paper's
fciew quarters, and it is now deemed possible that
the Fire Marshal's suspicions will be confirmed.
This is a great point gained, for when once
it is officially admitted that tho proprietoi-s of
|he " Zeitung " are tho victims of malicious
mischief, perhaps the police will realize that
|their imputation demands tho foiling of any

} There can hardly be two opinions In regard
to tho Assembly bill now before the Senato
Financo Committee, to prende a new asylum

ure and should reach the Senate promptly.
Tho condition of affairs in the present asylum
At Auburn is a disgrace to so rich a State as
New.York. The building was intended for
about 140 patients, but contains between three
end four hundred. The managers are at their
?its' end unless the Legislature comfs to their
jy?d ftnd authorize? tho croction of a new

of thoughtful readers of to-day's TaiB
They are printed on the third page. The
hae been, a laxge ????1??<*t of working?
men and thus has been able to study the rela?
tions of labor and capital in a practical manner.
Tho result of his experience and reflection is
that eo-operation would solve the great eco?
nomie problem of to-day more satisfactorily
than most people think. Tho timo has come, in
his opinion, when the employer is less needed
than ho once was ; when tho laboring mon can
easily organize aud provide themselves with
work ; when a hundrod of them, for instance, if
industrious and honest, could quickly obtain
crodit for any enterprise their abilities might
suggest. What they pay their employer his
profits) under the present system for hiring
them would, under co-operation, go into their
own pockets. Would not the conflict between
labor and capital thus be avoided ? Fanatical
adherents to abstract theories may dispute some
of the propositions advanced by Senator Stan?
ford, but they are quite likely to win favor in
tho eyes of common-sen.-,?? men everywhere.
THE VI ITERESCE BETH EES G.????.*.
Flippant and frivolous people, who want an
excuse for shirking their own public duties, are
fond of saying that them is no difference
between partie*. Bith are managed for tho
benefir of hungry office-seekers, both stoop to
insincere pretences, and both resort to fraud,
these slurking oitizeus affirm. They slander
worthier men than themselves. The great
body of voters who constitute both political
parties are in tho main honrst und patriotic iu
purpose. Dishonest persons are found in all
political organizations, and in each party their
opportunities and influence are greater than
they should be, but that does not alter the fact
thai most of the active and enrnest voters who
make up the two great political parties sin?
cerely desire to promote good government and
the public welfare, and make willing sacrifices
of their tune and efforts to that end, and are
herefoie immeasurably above the selfish
shirkers who refuse to take any trouble for the
common good.
It does not follow that both parties are
equally worthy. If a party has for any cause
come to accept dishonest or insincere men as
its leaders, their influence secures the tacit as?
sent of well-meaning voters to bad measures
and bail methods. The very sincerity of these
voters, their earnest desire to promote the pub?
lic welfare by upholding the principles of their
party, reuders them reluctant to believe evil of
heir leaders, and willing to uphold them, with
all their faults, in preference to the leaders of
the opposite party, of whom the worst is be?
lieved. How many Democratic voters are there
who really understand and believe the trurii
about Mr. Garland's use of a public office to
half a private speculation ? How many will
gt t at the truth in regard to the charges of im?
proper conduct against Auditor AlcConville ?
How many will coaie to understand that Con?
troller Durham his deliberately violated a law
by compromising claims against the Halted
St ites ?
It in the fault of the Democratic party that
being able io natala itself only by wrong?
ful and fraudulent conduct in Southern State-,
and in sonic Northern cities, it came to recog?
nize as its leaders men who were willing to
resort to such measures, or to defend or ex?
cuse them. The consequence is that tin n- dois
exist a wide difference between the two great
parties, in respect to the standard of integrity
maintained by tin ir leaders and active men,
and that difference crops out. of necessity, in
pwal and official misconduct by many men
selected for places of trust.
l>esi,b?s this, th re is a difference between the
two parties in capacity and competence. The
causes might easily be shown ; they spring
from broad and permanent di Ilei eines iu the
constituent elements of the two parties. Hut
the fact is illustrated at every Matea of Con?
gress, when either House is controlled by a
Democratic majority. Unwise measures, which
would do groat harm if adopted, art; pressed
with intense zeal at every session by such a
majority. Measures of praiseworthy intent, by
the incapacity of the majority are so shaped
that they can only work harm. It matters not
whether the Interstate Commerce act be re?
garded as wise and praiseworthy in its general
purpose or not; all intelligent men now see
that it was rendered exceedingly harmful in
practical operation by the ignorali ce and blun?
dering incapacity of the majority iu the House.
Its most hurtful features are those upon which
the House, insisted with the utmost stubborn?
ness. There is a difference between parties, as
to integrity and as to competence for the re?
sponsibilities of government. Tho shirking
citizen, who pretends that both are alike bad,
not only slanders millions of worthier Ameri?
cans than himself, but shows that he is pitifully
ignorant of current history,
THF ?WILL.MILK CRIME.
Tho adulteration of food products of any
description with noxious matter must be 1*
garded as one of the worst treasons again.st
society, and as a crime far more heinous than
many to which tho law irrationally Ixe much
heavier penalties. Hut all food adulteration
is not equally infamous. Itale aie degrees
in the ?atrocity of the offence, and the lowest
depth, is reached by those heartless wietoha?
who deliberately set theiiiselvi* to poison what
should be the purest and wholesoniest of nutri?
ment, and that which is the sole subsistence
of thousands of infants. The man who fm?
greed of gain keeps a swill stable such as has
recently been discovered by tho Board of
Health's officers, and who without compunction
sells the poisoned and poisonous milk to
mothers, knowing that he is distributing dis?
ease and death, cannot, without mockery, bo
classed with ordinary misdemeanant?.
Tho swill milk producer must be perfectly
callous and indifferent to everything but the
profit of his filthy liu-im^s. A man possessing
even the germs of a conscience would.bo in
capablo of the systematio ciucity practised
upon the cows, to say nothing of the arrena
done the customers. Tbe sight of a swill
milk stable ?* enough to make the observer
renounco not only milk, but l>ecf, for the rest
of his life. Tho stock aie invariably reduced
l<y a swill diet to a most unwholesome condi?
tion. As a rule, they contnvct pulmonary dis
caeo from the filth and neglect in which tlicy
live. The milk they yield is literally ? oil OB.
To infants it is death, and seldom slow death
either. The importance of rooting out every
swill-milk cow-house is therefore apparent, and
tho Board of Health cannot display too much
energy in this work of reform. The penalties
for selling swill-milk, however, aie far too
light. Thero is no reason why it should not
lie made a felony. In fact, it is construit ivi;
murder. The swill-milk vender neither know*
nor cares how m.'uvy deaths of babice he is the.
cause of. That he is the cause of many Mich
deaths oannot lie questioned. Why, then.
should he bo pcrmitt**! to avoid the due pen?
alty for tho homicidal element involved in
his detestable business ?
"To let a swill-milk dealer go with a small
fine, or with the confiscation of his product,
seems trilling with tho scriousnost? of the
matter, and setting a very unflattering price
upon the heads of the new generation. Nor can
it bo said that thero arc any mitigating cir?
cumstances in tho caso. Dealing iu swill
milk can never bo compulsory upon any man.
It is always and ncceasarily tho deliberate
rtnonrae of an tui?nhutiea?v mean scoundrel.
who if so wrapped np in hia own rapacity ne
to care literally nothing? for tho ?Te^jornblo
mischief he does. It ia intolerable that ?neh
men should bo treated oa mere venial offr ??????.
and thoir murderous frreod be atoned by mulct?
ing then? a few hundred dollaro. To stop
eiime o? this kind examples are needed. Tho
fino does not reach the heart of the abuse.
It ought to be shown that the raacal who un?
dertakes to administer poison to our infanta
il considered at least a* great a criminal a? the
man who breaks into our houses at night
rTflsMlbJ less than a round term of years at
haid lalior in the State Prison would be an
ado'iual?? punishment fur the swillnulk erimo,
and tho Heard of Health ought to niRe upon
the Legislature tin? proper classification of this
laBtsfaaajhfaaj and Meat eeiious offenco. Wc
profes?? to iterane] murdrr .ts the worst crime
that san l>c committed, and punish it Yvith
death on tho gallows. The swill milk dealer
put? himself in the way of committing muidi-r
by wholesale, and wo fine him mildly, destroy
his vile stuff, and think justioo has liecn done.
It is timo this abuso was remedied.

According to Mi. Maine's enemies, who of
course know more about him and hie doings
than anybody else, he has entirely revolution?
ized the policy of the Catholic Church the world
ovi???. For the sake of helaahlg this bold, bad
unii), that Chnrch has abandoned principles
and policies to which it has adhered through
centuries. This seems strange, bat then it is
entirely iMpJawiTlln that Mr. Maine's enemies
should he mistaken.
According to these same enemies, the Repub?
lican party is bound hauti and foot by the
devilish machinations of this same Mr. Maine.
The voters do not like him. and have no faith
in him, and want to have nothing to do with
him, and would infinitely prefer some other
candidate, but he has the great party so
entirely in his toils that its voters have no
chame to express their real opinions, and in
spite of tho heroic efforts of various leaders
anil -talesmen, whom Mr. Maine's opponents
never f;nl to enc<>r.ra.:c and to praise, the party
is in danger of committing suicide by nomi?
nating him again in a lit of emotional insanity.
This soumis strange nml scarcely credible in
view of the rather obvious fact that the masses
oi voters seem to have a liking for Mr. Maine,
and there is not to be found I Kcpuhlican
iMttar tvho doubts thit the vot?is are very
l'i Derail? inclined to urge his nomination,
while he ami his friends have been making no
effoti to that end. Hut, of course, the truthful
enemies of tho bad man from Maine cannot be
mistaken.
1 here is arene behind. According to tin M en?
emies, the arch-conspirator has gone so far that
he has actually Mad to have BeaatOt Sherman
kidnapped, and dragged out of the country, a
prinoner, by esitalo Spaniards or Cubans. A
little ragneneea aboa. Ras story ?- pardonable ;
obviously the eonapiraton would not divulge
tbell movement-, and intent ions too plain! v.
But there can l?e aodonb. about the main fail-,
lot the enemies of Mr. Binine are sure, and
thevare never mistaken. But for the super?
human ihrewdaeai of waat individual. Senator
Bhenaaa would at this moment be languishing
in Mime fonigli dungeon in the hands of for?
eign bandits, liiieil by Hlaine.
On the whole, Mr. Binine seems to be a rather
laige and influential man. To the naked eve
lie appears to bi writing valuable and i n t<i i-1 -
ing booha and vi.-siting Mattend iimiu Imi s uf
his family. But c\cry*?tep is really partef a
dark con-?piiaev, accoiding to tin? vcincious
UotoriaJM of the Mugwump variety. That
these men are crazed bv their fear of the man
from Maine, and, s,, |o ?peak, have siial.es in
their boots, is of course liupos-sible.

Turning Mr. Lamar's eulogy of Calhoun into

Mr. Cleveland ! At piescntr-oe u Tho Newa

Certainly if tlie aaecrtioim in regard to Calhoun

ought to welcome such a text book. The South
insists that Calhoun is to be regarded as tin.

not only of his popularity but of hie power, aud this flat
performance hail still the authentic charm of liatunl
beauty. A delightful individuality,?compounded of
many elements of humor, pathos, imagination,
humanity and spiritual sensibility to supernatural
things-Is the coucrete essence of Kip Van

customary fascinutiou. There is. perhaps, no new word
tobe sjKikeii here ?bout Mr. Jefferson as Kip l'a? Winkle;
nor perhaps is there need that any word should lie
spoken. Yet it may not be amiss to indicate
this remarkable work as a signal example of
the power of a great actor to vitalize and dignify
