rtOILEIl EXPLOSIONS.
from the X. Y. Time.
The explosion of ft Bteaiu-lioilor is prim
facie evidence of carelessness in its construe
tion, or in its maintenance, or in it nse. It
is bo regarded by tbe engineers, and ought ho
to be regarded by the law. It will ba easy to
convince any one who will examiuo the
records of boiler explosions and inqniro into
the means of preventing thorn, that no injm
tice would bo done to tbe o ners of boilers by
indicting them fur criminal carelessness in all
oases of explosion.
The history of boiler explosions is authen
tic and definite. The boiler has usually been
erected under the full light of modorn.
science. All the attending ciroumstanjes of
tbe explosion have been immediately commu
nicated to the public; curiosity has aided
science in making every luan an investigator
of those circumstances end a searcher after
causes; public and private commissions have
been appointed to examine the subject gen
erally; numerous legal tribunals have goae
to the bottom of spooial cases, and innumer
able private professional observers have wit
nessed results, searched records, weighed
evidence, and arrived at general conclusions.
All the plausible theories of explosions have
been not only looked into, but worked out, iu
many cases experimentally or theoretically, to
their ultimate limits.
Now the remarkble and unprecedented
result of all this investigation is not the divi
sion of any large body of experts into
schools not the building up of rival theo
riesbut the universal conviction of all con
cerned that boiler explosions are certainly
in most, and probably in all, cases the results
of mnlconstruction or maltreatment, and of
nothing else, and that the usual immediate
cause is the unchecked deterioration of the
boiler in service. In the great majority of
cases the evidences of
us plum as the time
face of a clock a
carelessness are
of day on the
saeet furrowod
nearly through; a etay-bolt rusted off; a
crown-sheet insufficiently supported; ex
pansion and contraction unprovided for;
water connections stopped up: bad material
some one of the many obvious and certain
conditions of rupture. Ia a few cases the
immediate causes are not apparent, and then
the electricity theorists and the gas people
nnd the mystery men fight over the remains
in the newspapers; and the only reason why
simple neglect is not discovered to be the
cause, is that the parts of the boiler which
would otherwise reveal it are blown away,
or are too much mutilated or obstruotod
to
for
bo legible,

Simple bad troatment
or user will account
rupture which ends in
any explosion, however tcrrilic may be its
ellects. There ia force enough restrained
within every steam-boiler running to-day to
perform the most terrible work of ruin that
any similar boiler ever performed in exploj
ing. Vvhon thia force is once released, the
amount of destruction depends on the point
of rupture, the resistance, the surroundings,
and on an infinite number of circumstances
mostly outside of our control. The only
thing we can do, and it i3 enough, is to keep
the resistance superior to the normal pres
sure. Now that the causes of boiler explosions
are so well understood as to be a matter of
commercial calculation where companies
make money by insuring such boilers as are
constructed and maintained according to esta
blished professional rules it is to be re
gretted that the Government should stand
helplessly by, and see scores of people
scalded to death every few weeks, for the
want of an adequate law and a system of in
spection. Boiler insurance and inspection
companies and they are no new or experi
mental thing Mm ply prove that boilers con
ducted and maintained according to certain
well-known rules are practically safe that
the chances of explosion, even with ordinary
water-tending, are very remote, and they
stake their money on this knowledge; and yet
the United States Government has beeu un
able to even check the increase of these dis
asters. If Congress cannot at once provide
for tho security of the publio against boiler
explosions, it had better let out the job of
protecting its citizens to some insurance com
pany, and then it will be done on scientilic
principles, and by competent men.
GAIIBETTA'S FOLLY.
From the it. Y. Tribune.
It teems that Mr. Gambetta is to be aided
to tbe long list of those statesmen who are
admirable in speech and worse than useless in
action. The members of the Provisional
Government who remained in Paris have made
the best attainable arrangements with the vic
torious enemy. A truce is provided for which
winh common prudence and discretion might
result in poace and the final establishment of
a settled Government in Prance. Less than
three weeks are allowed for the momentous
business of electing an Assembly, calling the
members together, and deciding upon the
terms of peace discussed between Mr. Favre
and Bismarck at Versailles. It would appear
impossible that any one of ordinary capacity
uhould fail to see the absolute necessity of
perfect nnitv and harmony in the Republican
ranks. But this is precisely the instant Mr.
Gambetta chooses to denounce bis associates
and impair their authority, and to call upon
the country to take measures to Legin tho
war anew immediately upon the expiration of
the armistice. His passionate appeals and
misrepresentations will have the effect, if
they have any, of rendering the task of the
Constituent Assembly well nigh impossible.
For if an excited publio feeling be roused to
the extent of rejecting reasonable terms of
peace, tho labor of the Assembly weuld be in
vain, and the establishment of a Government
which would survive the retirement of the
Prussians would be out of the question.
It remains to be seen what action the Cabi
net of the Emperor of Germany will take in
regard to this unheard-of repudiation by one
half of tbe Government of the spirit and in
tention of a solemn compact entered into by
the other half. If the Government of Bor
deaux insists upon carrying on offensive pre
parations during the whole duration of the
truce, it may be that Prussian headquarters
will refuse to be bound by an agreement
which is openly scorned by their adversary.
W'q say nothing of the question of interna
tional ethics involved, as the Gascon wing of
the Committee of National Defense is not in
a 6tate of mind to consider calmly the rela
tion of its acts to the principles of absolute
right and the law of nations.
The effect of this 6enseless quarrel upon
tbe elections cannot be other than disastrous
Tbe llepublicana, as it is, have no votes to
spare. The Government is placed in a posi.
tion of vast responsibility aud little po.vor.
It is held answerublo for ull the misuiiei of
the war, and it has not shown enough of the
elements of permanence to exert upon the
rural districts that powerful moral influence
which in France exercises snob unquestioned
control over elections. Its only hope was ia
firm and resolute unity, and in a determina
tion to cast aside all personal considerations
nnd postpone all fends until after the war.
But ninc, at this most critical period, the
hysterical circular of Mr. Gambetta has shown
to the world Low little of harmony or of dis
cipline exists in the innermost circlos of the
administration, it would now be marvellous
if Ibe candidates of this distracted prty
should be elected to a majority of seats in the
Constituent Assembly.
The decreo of the Bordeaux Government
excluding from the deputation all members of
hitherto reigning families, and all thoso who
have held office under the late Imperial Gov
ernment, is a violont and wholly unjustifiable
attempt to obviate the natural effect of Re
publican distentions by prescribing to the
people of France what votes they shall cast.
Mr. Gambetta assumes that Franoe is now a
republic; that the question of her future des
tiny is already decided; that an Assombly is to
be called together to approve what has been
done by the actual Government, and perform
various acts of spocial legislation under the
supervision of that Government. lie therefore
regards any candidacy in opposition to this
view as absolute treason against the estab
lished Constitution of tlieoountry, aud adopts
in tho cause of liberty the repressive system
of the worst days of the Empire. It is easy
to see what a powerful and vindictive spirit
of hostility this will at once awaken among the
adherents of all tho old political parties. The
Prefects of the Empire were among tho most
wealthy and prominent citizens of their de
partments, generally men of no strong politi
cal convictions, but naturally inclined by tem
perament and habit to accept existing facts
and work in harmony with da facto govern
ments. Tbe Government of National Defense
has thus far had no obstacles thrown iu its
way by this class of persons. On the contrary,
they have almost universally seconded the
efforts of tho Ministry to maintain the mili
tary force and the civil administration at the
highest point of efficiency since tho war
began. The manifestation of Bouapartist
sympathies in the forthcoming elections, so
far from being prevented by tliis shallow de
vice, will be inevitably greatly increased by
the natural resentment of the persons so
gratuitously insulted. The affront to the
Orleanists is equally uncalled for aud futile.
The course of the Bordeaux faction in this
matter is one they Lave no right to pursue,
and if they had tho right it would be most
undignified and impolitic.
If it be true, as stated in our despatches,
that Mr. Simon has assured the journalists of
Bordeaux, who svith more discretion thau
their rulers have protested against this
tyrannical decree, that the Government of
Paris does not approve it, and will not re
cognize it, this incident only more clearly
shows how desperate and dangorous is the
audacity of the Gascon fraction of the ad
ministration. Unfortunately, this exhibition
of Mr. Gambetta's incapacity, while it may
vindicate tbe action of the Paris Govern
ment, cannot prevent the Republican cause
from suffering severely in the important
contest of this week. A house half-built,
and divided against itself, has little prospect
of completion.
A SUGGESTION FOR TUE NAVAL STAFF.
From tlie. if. Y. llei alU.
It has been proposed, and very properly,
that to transport the provisions intended for
suff ering Frauce one or more vessels of the
navy should be placed by the Government at
tbe service of the committee having tho
charity in charge. So far so good; and now
w e have another suggestion to make in con
nection therewith, which is as follows:
There are a vast number of sick aud wounded
among the French, and while we propose to
do something for the hungry, let us remem
ber the others also, and send a few addi
tional surgeons and physicians to minister to
their wants. It can best be done in this
manner: Let every bhip detailed for the
duty of carrying supplies be officered en
tirely by surgeons, a surgeon ranking with a
captain to be placed in command; passed
assistant and assistant surgeons to act as
watch officers, and the surgeons' stewards
and apothecaries will answer for tho for
ward and petty officers. Here i3 a first-
rate chance for these gentlemen. If they
claim the right to command let us give them
the opportunity to prove their ability. They
must not be interfered with; everything must
be given np to them for the cruise. The
ship must be truly in tho doctors' hands this
time, leaving the paymasters and engineers
to have their chance hereafter. It will be a
happy family; there will be no trouble about
rank, no row as to who shall go over the
gangway first, no little unpleasantness about
the number of Bide boys, no ill-feeling about
ct-kirg permission to go on shore. No;
eveij thing will move smoothly, excepting,
probably, tne snip itseii. xms may give
some trouble, but nothing worth speaking f.
Now is the right time and here is the oppor
tunity to settle this question of rank and
command without the aid of Congress. Give
them, Mr. Secretary of the Navy, the chance
to bhow what they can do, and then let the
country see if the provisions don't spoil
before they reach tho haven where they
w ould be.
THE IMPERIAL RING.
Fnm Harper ' Weekly.
During tho long Republican ascendency in
this State, tho Democratic party constautly
alleged that the city of New lork had been
virtually deprived of self-government by the
system 01 commissions appointed by the
Governor and Legislature. The people were
implored to save the very principle of free
popular institutions by overthrowing the
Republicans end bringing the Democraoy
into power. At length the Republicans were
defeated. ViTe are now entering upon the
second year of Democratic supremaoy in the
State, and popular government in the city
of New York is already practically
subverted. An imperialism has beeu esta
blished here as absolute as that of Louis
Napoleon, and it is formally sustained, as his
was, by an occasional plcOucite called an eleo
tion. De Tocqueville, that acute political
thinker, contemplated with the utmost appre
hension a democratic- state of society without
honest democratic institutions. He thought it
the worst form of tyranny. This is the specta
cle which the city of New York now presents,
and it challenges the thoughtful attention of
every political stunent, as of every Amerioan
citizen who is looking candidly to see with
wLich party in this country the just develop
ment ot tne American constitutional aud uo
i 1 2 . I J
puiar principle is uiuhii nasureo.
There are in tbe city of New York four
well-known persons Mr.l weed, Mr. Sweeny,
Mr. Connolly, and Mr. Hall, lhey are tha
managers of Tammany Hall; and the most
conspicuous cf them, Mr. lweed, has beau
described often and at length in one of tho
organs of Lis party in the city (the New York
U (;'.), iu tortus which, if not justified by
lnowletfgp. were tbe most wantonly injurious
tbnt could be applied to any nun. Arid it is
one of the signs of the power of whiou wo
ppeak that the World is now as utterly tho
f-panic 1 t.f the imperial riug as Paul iM CUs
sngiino's paper was of Louis Napoleon. Tho
four persons whom we have mentioned are
th esutbors of the present city charter, which
was passed last spring by the Democratic
Legislature many Republicans voting for
it because of a registry iaw which Mr. Tweed
permitted to pass for the purpose of pro
eurirg an appearance of unuuimous support
for Lis charter, and which he now intends to
repeal.
Tbe charter vests tbe executive power in
the Mn3or and the heads of departments.
Tbe Mayor is elected lor two years; and the
system by which Tammany control what are
called elections is notorious. The Controller
is elected every four years. Tho heads an I
commissioners of .departments are appointed
by tbe Mayer to serve from four to oight
years. Tbe charter was passed, and took
effect immediately. The Mayor was Mr.
Hall, and be instantly appointed Mr. Tweed
Commissioner of TuMio Works, and Mr.
Sweeny the bead of the Department of
Talks. In November Mr. Connolly was
elected Controller under the auspices
of Tammany Hall. Thus these four
persons, known as the Ring, and who by
familiar menus nominate nnd elect their
eprnts to the Legislature, and fill all minor
otlices with their adherents, were placed by
tbe charter which they bad prepared, and
which the party under their control hid
passed, in the chief executive positions in the
city. Their oflicial terms are four years,
except that of Mr. Sweeny, which is five
years, and that of Mr. Hall, which is two.
Tbey will continue to hold the olSoos at their
pleasure. So efficient is tho political ma
chinery of Tammany Hull, and s well ad
justed is it to Democratio voters, that no man
vbom tbe imperial ring does not nominate
will be elected Mayor, and it will nominate
no one of whose obedience it is not sure.
The next step is now to bo taken iu the
formal subversion of the popular Hvstotu.
Tbe imperial ring bus introduced a bill in
the .Legislature which constitutes tho Mayor
(Mr. Hull), the Controller (Mr. Connolly
the Commissioner of Publio Works (Mr.
Tweed), and the President of the Department
ol 1 arks (air. hweeny) a Board of Apportion
ment, which, f.fter providing for the interest
of the city debt, and for the city s proportion
of the State tax, shall appropriate at its
pleasure all the money that is raised b' taxa
tion in the city. To make this extraordinary
grant cf power more acceptable, it is decreed
thut the amount raised in 1871 aud 1S72 shall
not exceed a sum equal to two per cent, of
the valuation already nxed for this year by the
CommisBioiiers of Taxes and Assessments.
And it is further provided that no bonds
and stocks of the city or couaty, except
those already authorized, shall be issued
hereafter except by thia board. But it is by
their will alone that tho rate of taxation is
limited for two years to two per cent, of the
present valuation. It will rest with theui
alone to determine what tbe rate shall be
after the two years are ended, or to amend
their law next year by striking out the limi
tation for 1871', and leaving the valuation
w holly at their pleasure.
Meanwhile, to divert publio attention from
this practical Imperialism which tho Demo
cratic party has thus established, it imitates
the policy of Loui3 Napoleon, who imitated
tbe Roman despots, in amusing the people
with games and publio displays while they
destroyed liberty, ihus there is a show of
care about the public grounds, and of anxiety
to complete tho system of water supplies.
There is an ostentation of charity to tho poor.
But while every man is glad that suffering is
relieved, he shrugs his shoulders when he
is asked if the money that relieved it was
honestly gotten. While this is the outer
show, the secret aim of the imperial
ring is to dishearten opposition by showing
its hopelessness, and to terrify capital by a
relentless exercise of the mastery of property
which the law bestows. It bribes to silence
where it can, but it spares no blow, open or
secret, to cripple those whom it fears, and
the terrorism is deepened by the publio
knowledge that certain judges upon the
bench are the supple tools of this enormous
and arbitrary power, so that tho citizen is
conscious that he n deprived of the last
remedy of injustice.
Thus tne result of tne ascendency of tne
Democratio party in New York is the destruc
tion of popular government in the city, as it
would have been in the country at large if the
people of the United States had not chosen
war as the least teartul alternative. Nor is
this surprising. The Democratic party in its
long national ascendency was steudily hostile
to the fundamental principles of a free gov
ernment. It was a vast conspiracy to make
slavery tbe fundamental law of the republic.
That purpose required absolute national
demoralization, and the great effort of
the party was to produce it. A
clear perception of the true spirit
and principle of free popular government
was latal to Democratic dominance, and
therefore tbe party ruthlessly sought to ob
scure it. In tbe city of New York the party
Las never lost its supremacy. The men who
guide it to-day are politicians bred either in
total ignorance or in utter contempt of Ame
rican principles, ibey are brought in con
stant contact with the most ignorant and
venal men; and without tuith iu individual
honor, with the siucercst persuasion that
money and fear are the master-keys of poli
tics, they distrust mere honesty as hypocrisy,
and undoubtedly despise '"the people" and
their representatives as heartily as Robert
Walpole.
Any Democratic protest agiinst this impe
rial power, whether from the mere adven
turers of the party, like tho World, or from
honest men who cherish the vain illusion that
tbey can control it, is swept away like a loaf
upon Niagara. To-day the protestants of
last spring are, either like the World, kissing
the imperial feet, or, like those honest men,
lending the prestige of their names and the
weight of their votes to schemers whom they
utterly distrust, and to practices which they
abhor. Tbe imperialism of the ring is the
rule of corruption by money and by fear. It
is a plague-spot iu tbe centre of
the American system. It is the fresh
attack upon American institutions under the
name cf Democracy. Let the people of this
country consider it well, and decide whether
it is to restore the control of the National
Government to such men and to such iutla-enet-s
that our brothers died in the field, aud
tbht we are taxed to-day.
