“Truth above all things.” .
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 12, 1892.
:{Entered at the Post Office as a Newspaper.]

The weather to-dag promises to be
generally clear and colder. To-mor-
vow it promises to be clear and slightly
colder, followed at noon by rising tem-
crafure.
—-I..-
Hotel and Other Deadfalls.
It is almost the simplest of perform-
nces to point out after some terrible
e'lnflagration which thrills mankind
ith horror, the absolutely criminal
"faults of construction and management
that make the tragedy possible. After
the harm has been done, when scores
of homes have been desolated and hun-
dreds of hearts bowed down in woe,
clothing is easier than to show, how it
all could have been prevented.
What civilization needs, however, is
a policy of prevention in the place of
all this useless and impertinent post-
'mortem information. It is not neces-
:sary to wait until after the catastrophe
to aScertain that certain things are clan-
.gerous and, under given circumstances,
will becbme destructive. We know al-
ready what are‘zthe conditions of ap-
proximate safely and of inevitable dis-
aster. Perhaps there is no way of com-
pelling people to build sensible resi—
ndences, and possibly it may be imprac-
.icable to prevent the individual from
taking risks purely personal to himself.
But when it comes to holets, factories,
theaters, workshops, or any kind of
building in which great numbers of hu-
man beings are huddled together for
hours, and where those for whose pro-
!fit the establishment is run are clearly
u-esponsible for lives other than their
«own, does it not "seem that government
has some right to interfere? Is it too
much, in fact. to ask that municipal
authority shall be invoked to determine
avihether these buildings are man-traps,
sand, it so, to require that they shall be
either Ire—constructed or abandoned?
It strikes us that the time for investi-
gation is before the calamity occurs,
when information can be made valuable
and when wisdom may bear gOod fruit.
It government has no authority to
interfere in this way the authority
should be conferred at once, and where
government, having the power, fails to
exercise it, the officials responsible in
the premises should be treated as ac—
cessories before the fact to murder.
Building inspections lire a farce when
such hotels as the Hotel Royal are suf-
fered to stand as a menace to human
life and to surrounding property inter-
ests. There are many such hotels in
every city in the land, it is believed.
The remedy is in awakening public in-
.tercst in public safety, and thus secur-
1mg more faithful inSpection under ex—
istinglaws or the speedy enactment of
hetterlaw‘s. _
The feeling is almost universal that
all of our Norwalk hotels and many
public halls and places where people
congregate are far from being as safe‘
was they should be, in the matter of a
sudden alarm of fire or panic of any
kind. Is not this a good time to ex-
amino and render all such suspected
places safe and secure ?

"Why Not Robert T- Lincoln?
‘With a thoroughly united party the
chances, as they stand to-day, are re-
garded Eby shrewd party leaders as
rather against the Republicans. Where
is there a Republican in all this broad
hand who would not vote for Robert T.
Lincoln were he the candidate? His
ability for the place is recognized by
all. He has filled important public
stations, and In every one of them he
discharged his duty ably and honestly,
:and retired from each with the admira-
tion and complete endorsement of his
countrymen. Quiet, discreet. digni-
fied, manly and able, he has won his
way into the hearts of the American
people.
he hears through many struggles and
he has kept it untarnished. He belongs
to no faction; He has engendered no
factional bitterness. He is the very
meet type of genuine. American man.
lheod. His administration of the War
Department, in the opinion of our
greatest commanders, ranked - him
among the ablest Secretaries who have
ever presided over that Department.
A‘s minister to England he has com-
mlanded the approval of all who have
come in contact with 'him. In name
and record he stands for all that the
Republican party holds most dear.
Wrangling and divided Republicans,
why not Robert T. Lincoln?

The Whipping Post.
'Thcre'issa great deal of maudlin sen-
. timent and ill advised criticism wasted
upon the subject of punishing a certain
class of criminals at the Whipping post,
and «the state of Delaware comes in for
.a..great deal of abuse because that state
that! never abolished the whipping post,
as most of the states have, butstill con-
tinues its use in a certain class of cases.
We have no sympathy with the critics
at this method of punishinent, says the
midgeport Pest. It ‘ seems to us that
it meets‘the requirements of a certain
class of cases more effectually than any
other method of punishment. For ex-
" ample there is a class of offenders
known as wife heaters, who make it a
motice to abuse and maltreat the un-
dortnmto women that the law has placed
He has carried the great name -
in their control. The whipping post is
just the thing for such men. What is
the use of talking about the humilia.
tion of such a punishment? If it is
possible to humiliate’a wife beater he
ought to be humiliated. Then there
are sneak thieves and pickpockets. A
few lashes in public at. the post, would
be more effectual in that class of cases
than a term in state prison. We hope
Delaware will not be talked into abol-
ishing the whipping post, and we wish
Connecticut would adopt it in some
cases. ‘

Mr. Blaine’s Withdrawal.
Mr. Blaine’s announcement
cause sincere regret among a large
portion of the Republican party
throughout the countryf Even among
those who did not believe his nomina-
tion wise or in the interest of party
success there were none who did not
admit his great following—a following
not only large in numbers, but the
greatest in enthusiasm that any man
has ever led in this country. ,
It remains to be seen whether or not
the men who have been urging Mr.
Blaine’s candidacy, but who Insisted
thatwith the Maine man out of the
fight the nomination would surely go
to Mr. Harrison, will now enroll them-
selves under the President’s banner.
will
In less than a week the number of can- _
didates talked about will now increase
from twoto several.‘ What headway
they will make time alone can tell.
Mr. Blaine’s, withdrawal from the
Presidential race will be accepted as
honest and final. It entitles him to a
rest from the strictures and censure of
those who did not favor his candidacy.
Of course, so long as he remains in a
public position he will be judged by
his official, and even his personal acts.
as they bear on the political situation.

Ben D. Bell,
Druggist of Lexington, Ky., says
that Dr. Hale’s Household-remedies
(consisting of Dr. Hale’s Household
Cough Cure, ’Dr. Hale’s Household
Ointment and Dr. Hale’s Household
Tea) are the best sellers he has ever
had in his store. This is owing to the
great merit of these popular remedles.

Should Be Punished.
Mr. William F. Seton, an inspector
in the New York Building Bureau, has
- made a confession. It is lucky for him
that criminals of his sort are not
treated in this section as they are out
onthe frontier—five minutes to repent
and then a rope.
He reported that the Hotel Royal
was fully equipped with fire escapes.
His word was taken and it so stands on
the record.
During an investigation into the
cause of such a horrible loss of life this
sham inspector wasbrought to bay, and
at last admitted that his report was
false, and that the hotel had never ac-
cord ed with the requirements of the
law. .
It is said that he was immediately
dismissed from the service ; but that is
not enough. If there is any penalty
for such negligence he should. be made
to suffer.

An Honest Democrat.
Hon. Nicholas Staub is an honest
democrat. Last evening in opening his
address to the firemen at the Y. M. C.
A. hall, he stated that he was the only
democrat elected to office in Conn. Mr.
Staub is the only democrat in the
state who has had the courage and hen-
esty to announce this fact.
