There was a time when the death of
John W. Forney would have made a wide
gap in Republican polities and journal
ism, but that time was many years ago.
Of late Colonel Forney lias not been a,
conspicuous figure in public affairs. His ,
literary activities were narrowed down .
to his weekly paper, and the political ec
centricity. arising largely from personal
friendship, which took him out of the
Republican ranks last year and caused
him to support General Hancock, ended
his influence in party controversies. ;
The fruitful period of his life began when 1
he cut loose from the Slave Democracy,
in 1855, and became a vigorous champion
of the cause of freedom, lie was a friend
and adviser of Lincoln and of most of the |
statesmen of the war period, and did ex-'
cellent service with his pen for the cause |
of the Union. Though he lost his .grasp i
I
on public affairs in his later career, he |
never loosed his hold on the hearts of a j
large circle of friends. lie was a de- |
jightful talker and a charming companion
and he will no doubt be longer remem
bered in Philadelphia for his anecdotes
and reminescences, his after-dinner
speeches and his genial person rtity, than
for his political labors. When he eon
trolled the Press, his editorial room, with
its big bay window, used to be pointed
out as one of the sights of the city. It
saw a deal of good company i:t the course
of twenty years. Few men of note visit
ed Philadelphia without spending half an
hour in one of its easy chairs, listening
to Colonel Forney's cordial and enter- !
t lining conversation.— Tribune
The estimated loss of life in the Vien
na theater has reached the appalling lim
it of 70;). The mortality was increased
by a terrible blunder. Some irresponsi
ble person, with a view of preventing an
explosion, ordered the gas to be turned
out. and thus left the audience to si nig
gle in the dark through the blind passag
es of the opera house. The exits were
deficient in number and si/.e and these
were radical defects in construction.
I3ul doors will not insure the safety of an
audience unless they can be instantane
ously opened in a critical emergency.
Mine. 1 1 in c leinarked co one of one re
porters on Friday that sh<> did not be
lieve that the doors of our own Academy
would he of much use in case of a panic
or lire, as she had tried them 'luring a re
hearsal and found them all locked, with
no keys in sight. What is needed in ev
ery place of amusement is ;i special pa
trol of watchers in front and in rear wlio
will know precisely what to do in an
emergency and who will havedho means
at hand of extinguishing fire and repress
ing alarm. Such a body of theater lire
men and "police should, be thoroughly
drilled by a competent captain.— Tribune.
Congressman Speer's declaration that
he will nrvpr go into another Democrat
ic caucus is exhilarating. He commands
the support of his own constituency and
tirnb himself in a position where lie can
dispense with his party associations. He
perceives that the Virginia situation is
r'prated in Georgia with the debt issue
1 di out, and believes that, an independent
movement will lie started next year and
a fell State ticket nominated. His con-!
tidenco may )>e overwrought, but there
can lie no doubt that it is a real vista
that <>p"iis before his prophetic eves, al
though Ids perspective may be slight Iv at 1
fault I i anv event. Mr. Npeer will be'
an .admirable leader for ih ' iioh-p ndrnt!
moveni'nt in (J •orgia. wh-Miever ir may!
be sucressJiißly organized. The Solid'
South is a shell which may he cracked!
and piiLct' red almost any where.
