wife of Harper, the Cincinnati

long-suffering
devoted wife, there
and
must
be a unanimity
of protest against unbarring this scoundrel from State's prison, and there is small likelihood that such a thing will be done. It falls out all too se'dom that these gigantic robbers are caught and punished for their sins and when we do succeed in capturing one before he gets off to Canada, he should be securely kept where he will do the most good by doing the least harm.
turns out that the awful disaster at Johnstown, Pa., was the result of an Insecure dam built for confining the waters of an artificial lake for the enjoyment of a pleasure club composed of wealthy gentlemen. They had notice that the dam was dangerous and likely to give way at sny moment before the enormons pressure of water back of it, but they dismissed the repeated warnings as mere idle croakings and let the matter run on until the inevitable catastrope fell like a bolt from heaven, and ten thousand lives and millions of property paid the penalty of their fool hardy defiance of the lawB of nature. Words are too weak to express the Indignation one feels at such conduct. These men should be make to pay dearly for their crime. They must at least be liable to actions for their criminal carelessness and it would be a just retribution if all their property should be taken to pay for theirlwrong.
It
is not always that the book which the publishers refuse is unworthy of publication any more than the one accepted is always worthy. When A. C. Guuter had written his novel "Mr. Barnes of New York" he sought a publisher for It and found none. He concluded to be his own publisher. Ho employed a firm of printers to issue 2,00C oopies of the book for him at a cost 9525. These 2,000 copies only brought him W00 but presently 180,000 oopies were demaded by the publlo and for these he got $36,000. Then he wrote and published •'Mr. Potter of Texas" to the tune of 128,000. "Mr. Potter" was followed by "That Frenchman," which has already brought him In 911,000 and Is still going. In other words hks three novels have cleared him over 950,000, or more than four times what he would have received from tho publishers had they paid him the usual percentage. Mr. Gunter's "nerve" has proved a capital investment.

The property loss, running into the millions, is hardly considered in view of the great loss of life. Yet even this is dreadful. A thriving city nearly as large as Terre Haute, with its surrounding villages of working people, has been utterly destroyed, the whole region laid waste and desolate. It is doubtful if it shall ever be rebuilt and those who remain may have to seek work and homes elsewhere.
It is gratifying to see that whatever human help can do will be done for the sufferers. As always in such cases the great heart of the nation makes cheerful and grand response to the necessities of the unfortunate. From New Englandto the Pacific donations of money are

ly responsible. When Mr. Cleveland made some bad appointments the mis take was notcharged up to the politicians who had recommended unworthy men for office, nor could the President escape censure by saddling the responsibility on the Senators. The people look to the President for the selection of fit men to fill the offices and thev hold him responsible in case of flagrant violation of duty. This being the case he ought to have a good deal to say in the matter, especially when dealing with Senators, like Farwell of Illinois, who make a mere business of politics and recommend men from sole motives of personal interest.
Let the President try to do right, as he 1b able to see the right, and the people will stand by him whether the Senators sulk a little or not. In a few months the whole matter will be forgotten, the larger questions of federal policy crowding out the insignifioant one of how the ufflces have been distributed.
THE JOHNSTO WN FLOOD. The calamity by flood at Johnstown, Pa., Is the most terrible that has ever happened in this country and will rank among the disasters by accident of all time. The appalling loss of life is only matched by the terrors of the surroundings. It was a dark, rainy night. The people were surprised in their houses by the oncoming of the flood without warning. It came with resistless power, bearing upon its destructive tide logs, trees and a mass of accumulated wreckage that crushed and toppled over the buildings as if they had been toy houses. Homes and people were swept away like straw. Hundreds were drojvned instantly while hundreds of others were carried to the bridge on^y to be burned to death on the mass of wreckage that had taken fire, doubtless from overturned stoves ln the wrecked houses.
Destruction could not have been more complete or awful. It will probably never be Unown how many lives were lost but the account, so far as record could be made, is awful. The estimate has been all the way from 4,000 to 10,000. Other disasters by land and sea, fearful as many of them have been, pale into insignificance before the terrible aflalr at Johnstown.

OoL W. EL McLean is glad to return to Terre Haute, where he has considerable property. In speaking of his residence in Washington for four years, he raid that it had not been profitable to him in a point of view. "I drew my salary," said he, "with great regularity and paid it out just as regularly." He received a salary of 93,600 per year, but was not enabled to save much out of this amount. The colonel expects to look after hia business interests here, which were considerably neglected during his absence, And engage in the practice of his profession. ______
story is told on the Centennial oil well which illustrates the haste in which oil well machinery has been procared. From one of the oity firms an order was placed for some drive pipe. Othen thought it had not been ordered and contracted foi another quantity with a second firm. The mistake was soon discovered and the second older was remanded. 8hortly after it was lea-ned that two boilers had been sent for. Only one was needed, and a telegram was sent not to ship but one. The third discove was that two belts had been arranged fo^. The complications arose through a misunderstanding and the company would have been well provided with machinery had not the discovery been made. Vj|
be a movement on foot
to remove the Republicans who are holding the ohlef school positions in the city and replace them with Democrats. These appointments have heretofore been made regardless of party but it is said that the Democratic spoilsmen are clamoring for the places. Some of the fair minded Democrats object to politics creeping into the school board's appointments. A contest was first made regarding the election of the school board member at the last council meeting. N. Boland was the retiring member and a movement was headed by a few politicians to defeat him. It was not successful. It was quietly suited that Boland was opposed to the removal of the Republicans for the sake of making way for Democrats. Just what the outcome will be cannot be surmised. The matter has been kept under cover as much as possible. Publicity was not desired until the scheme had been successfully accomplished. .• vjp?*"*l§

WOMEN AS TRAVELERS."
[Si. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
A
great deal is said and written tend' ing to show that the gentler sex know a little about traveling as the sterner sex know of the fashion plates, but it is about time to call a halt on that proposition. Traveling by rail has beeome so common that Lhece are very tew women, emigrants excluded, and among that
h|mh
the men know as lii.tle as the women, who are not capable of taking care of themselves on a journey o? a few hundred miles. They are as speedily served with tickets as the average man, and more readily disposed of bhan many of the latter and ask fewer questions as to when the t~ain will depart, where it can be found, how often they will be compelled to change cars, etc. The age Is progressive ana in railroad traveling the women are keeping right up with the procession.
THE WASHINGTON GIRL'S WINK.
[Washington Post-l!
If a Washington girl loolw At yotl at all on the street she is almost sure to shut one eye—rather, not exactly shut it, but squint it up. This is the reason for the Washinton wink, or squint, as some call it: The two avenues that form the most popular promenades are at such an angle toward the northwest and west of northwest that the sun's rays In the afternoon, when all the promenading Is done, strike one side of the face. Under the rule that requires pedestrians to keep to the right of the pavement, you must look toward the sun to see those coining toward you. The sun Is responsible for the squint. The whole line of people going west appear to be winking at those going in the opposite direction. So much has this affected the habitual promenaders on the avenue that many of them have a slight squint in the left eye at all times. The avenue girl

grocers are so short sighted as to decline to keep the "Ivory Soap," claiming it does not pay as much profit as
ferior qualities do, so if your regular grocer refuses to get it for you, there are undoubtedly others who recognize the fact that the increased volume of business done by reason of keeping the best articles more than compensates for the smaller profit, and will take pleasure in getting it for you.
