After several years spent in lying on the cold, cold ground, outside the breastworks, Mr. Warner Miller has Fesuscitated himself and made a new en- If he cannot be fairly said to have resumed his old Place within the Republican fortification, Mo one who reads his “statement” can doubt that he has at least plaeed him- self astride the breastworke and 1s ready for whatever may turn up. He has dined with anti-Platt and lunched with Platt, and may now re- turn effulgent to dassle again the back- ‘woods eyes of Herkimer County. But it @ curious that party or faction managers should be willing to spend the price of @ good dinner in securing the Political influence of Warner Miller in New York State. Buch lavish extrava- ance s0 publicly displayed is striking evidence of the extent to which money has become an element in modern poiltics, The fire in the Columbus avenue @ouble-fiat house at 7 o'clock yesterday morning while many of the residents Were still in bed, only cost one life. But {t came very near costing many more, and but for the bravery of a few men, notably of two employees in a butcher’s shop on the premises, It would doubtless have been fearfully fatal. These men, Charles Kircher and Will- jam Druller, acted like heroes. As soon as the alarm was raised, they rushed unhesitatingly through de: moke to the top floor, from which they rescued two women and a child, leaving four other children behind. They carried their first load down the staircase and then returned for the rest of the family. But the flames followed them up and made further exit that way impossible. Bo they carried the rest of the children down the rear fire-escape, having to pass through flames already buratmg through the back windows. John Cain, one of Inspector Mc- Laughlin’s detectives, lived on the fourth story of the house, and also did service in saving life. Doubting Thomases now begin to @pen their eyes to the fact that the Republican Senate and Assembly are wholly “with Platt” and are beginning to discover that the laws favored by that leader will go through both Houses fm the shape he desires and will re- @eive the Governor's approval. Chairman Lauterbach was in Albany Yesterday and his arguments with Re- publicans were directed to one point. The Republican party elected the Governor by an overwhelming majority. ‘The Republican party elected the legis- lative majority in both Houses. The Republican party elected the Mayor of New York with the ald of some dis- @atisfied Democrats who were angry with Tammany, but will be with that organization probably next election. But the Republicans cast probably three-fourths apd certainly more than two-thirds of the Mayoralty vote. The Republican party of New York, of whose County Committee Mr. Lauterbach ts Chairman, claims the right to enjoy the Patronage and to strengthen its organt- zation in the city heretofore the strong- hold of Democracy. ‘This ts & good sound political partisan argument. But it 1s very far from the independent anti-machine, anti-political millenium promised before election. At the same time is {t not what all the Republican politicians, whether under Platt, Bliss, Milholland or any actual or Would-be “boss,” desire? Is not their @ole quarrel among themselves for fa tional supremacy? IT Has ITS DRAWBACKS. It Is a good thing to have natura! gas. It ought to be considered a very good thing, indeed, when the complaints i itis eerinremarenneeeratitaiiamememeemanmnnmatnietinideatamtiite. coma that the had only « few sticks to feed upon. It te eaid that the shock was like a Great earthquake, that buildings were shaken and glass demolished ‘“every- where within the corporate limite;” that the fronts of some business houses were demolished, paved streets ripped up and @lectrical lines torn down. After that, people will be content to live within the balliwick even of the New York gas companies. No ene will desire to plant bis fig tree over a natural was belt. “GROVER, GET YOUR GUN.” ‘The adjournment of Congress evident- ly makes President Cleveland feel like &@ schoolboy at recess, A@ soon an the bell rang he rushed off for the Violet with @ whoop and a bound, and set sail for Southern waters to shoot ducks all day and play whist far into the night. Although the President ts on board with his favorite fowling-piece and his duck-bag, the trip of the light-house tender is not wholly for recreation. She goes on an official tour. to repair in- jured buoys and to replace those that have been carried away by the Win- ter's storms and ice. Her course will be through the Dismal Swamp Canal and Albemarle Sound Canal into Coan- jock Bay. During the passage of the country through the Dismal Swamp of the Fifty-third Congress a great many safety buoys have been lost in the fogs of Ignorance or destroyed by the Winter storms. These can never be found again or replaced, and the country must suffer as well as the lame Congressional ducks who have already been brought own by the unerring gun of popular condemnation. Well, it is to be hoped the President will enjoy hia junketing and fill his bag. In fishing and shooting he is @ suc- cess, anyway, and the second term of his Administration will be famous in history for its achievements with the rod and the gun, if for nothing else, A Good sporteman is better than a poor statesman. TWO GHIP-OF-8TATE LUNCHEONS. Herkimer and Tioga Counties broke bread together yesterday, or perhaps It was ple. Mr. Tom Platt was Mr. War- ner Miller’s guest at a luncheon at the Lawyer's Club, It wasn't eo much an appetite affair as it was an afternoon- tea-like coming together of the brace of statesmen, who ured their knives, forks and fingers with proper regard for the rules of etiquette, and told each other between morceaux what Mayor Strong ought to do about muntcipal patronage, and how he ought to do it-— to sult them, John Jones and Bill Smith lunched together, too, yesterday at Tom Green's open-faced oyster stand and spoke be- tween mouthfuls of the cause of reform and the past, present and future of the ship of State. ‘They also discussed Mayor Strong and his appointments. But we look in vain through the morn- the ing papers for any account of Jones-Smith luncheon, althou and Smith both own and use full votes, and have as much to do with putting men fn office as Platt and Miller have, and either of the quartet is as great as, and no greater, than one of the others. The only difference is that Jones and Smith each takes credit for only his own share of saving the Republic, while Platt and Muller think they do it all themselves, It'# the difference between the boss and bosned. An Albany despatch quotes a stat ment that the Real Estate Exchange bill 1s to be killed in the Judiclary Com- mittee of the Senate, through an under standing between Mr. Croker and t! State machine. The State machine the Platt machine, of course, But why should the Ridiculous Boss be ready for any more “deals” with his old fellow- trickster? Is Possible that when tt Croker declared himself out of politics he slyly winked the other eye at Platt? Secretary Morton utters an official yearn for a new plough. The present implement doesn’t turn over suMcient ground. What Secretary Morton should assist in procuring {s a plough that will help the farmer to see something in @griculture besides fields of waving mortgages every time he takes a look over the landscape, It makes us smile when we read of any member of the late unlamented Fif- ty-third Congress “recuperating from his hard work in Washington,” but that {s what Benator Hill is aaid to be doing in Albany. Advance reports indicate elaborate preparations to dodge the income tax in Chicago.
