RELLEF FOR THE A VONDALE SUE
EERER9

Tn movement commenced in this city by the
appointment of George II. Stuart as agent,
and the meeting at the Commercial Exchange,
for the collection of funds for the relief of
the families bereaved by the Avondale ira
gedy, will, we hope, meet with liberal re-
sponse from every generous Philadelphian
The destitution of the dependent widows and
orphans is heightened by the long strike
which brought them to the verge of starva-
ton, and doubly stricken now, by want and
the sudden loss in the most dreadful manner
of the strong arms that would have gladly
provided for their necessities, no feeling heart
can resist their touching claimsto compassion
and relief If anything could increase the
moral Justice of rendering to them prompt
and liberal aid, it would be the consciousness
that the State, notwithstanding the vast ex-
tent of its mining operations, has neglected
10 provide the safeguards against these terri
BILE disasters which the experience of other
countries has shown to be highly useful. If
we had no building inspectors in Philadel-
phia, lives would constantly be jeopardized
here by imperfect and dangerous structures;
but, in the mining regions, where the dan
gers are intensified hundred-fold, no legis-
lation interposes to protect the under
ground toilers from the thousand perils
interviewer with their dangerous avocation,
and it is left to the cold consciences of capi-
talists and corporations whether they will or
will not make the expenditures necessary to
grant important guarantees to human life.
We devoutly hope that this long deferred
duty will not be neglected by the next Legis-
lature, but meanwhile the latest victims of an
imperfect and perilous mining system should
not be left starving in the midst of their
sorrows. Every consolation that pecuniary
aid can give should be bestowed with liberal
hand, and the rugged pathway of the stricken
wives and little ones should be smoothed by
all the help that money can bestow.

heating apparatus was used in the building to
increase the value of the material insured
and If this clause is strictly enforced, the
policies are, on their face, entirely worthless
and the insurers paid their money for abso-
lutely nothing. Similar instances are con
stantly occurring, and they should prompt
every insurer to scrutinize every line of his
policy, as well as the standing of the company
which issues It,

III is evident, from the text of the pro-
posed new form of government in France,
which we published yesterday, that the En-
peror surrenders, after all, but a small por-
tion of his power He grants to the Corps
Legislatif the right to devise new measures.
and they have also the right to adopt resolu-
tions of inquiry into the causes or character
of governmental movements similar to those
which are frequently offered in Congress-
But meanwhile the Senate, which is composed
of men appointed by and devoted to the
Emperor is endowed with coordinate powers
of legislation similar to those exercised by
the Senate of the United States and
no bill can become law without
its approval. 1t can not only amend
the bills framed by the Corps Legs-
latif but if it is decidedly hostile to them,
their second consideration at any one ses-
sion, by the Corps Legislatif, is forbidden.
Ministers are dependent only on the Emperor
(not on the Parliament, as in England, and
they can be impeached only by the Senate.
The underlying idea of the system is that the
popular branch of the Legislature is to be
allowed comparative freedom to agitate, but

ST. LOUIS A WAKE.

ST. LOUIS has been going it rather strong
lately, and it has come out particularly en-
phatic on the subject of removing the national
capital. This project has been received with
immense favor in st. Louis, and nowhere
else. The Mississippi Valley Convention
which met at Keokuk yesterday was COM
posed chiefly, if not entirely, of delegates
from st. Louis, and consequently its perform
ances must be looked at as an expression of
the desires and opinion of st. Louis. 1t
seems that st. Louis wishes to have Worlds
Fair held there in 1871, and it asks that Con
gress shall pay the expenses, which it will
undoubtedly do for fear that st. Louis might
be offended, and sink disgusted
into the mud of the Mississippi, and be heard
of no more. The convention also demand
full share of the diplomatic appointments for
the Mississippi valley, reciprocal trade with
all nations, and few other little favors that
will probably be attended to in course of
time, since st. Louis asks them.
We are rather glad to see these signs of
waking up on the part of st. Louis, for it has
apparently been half asleep for a number of
years back, and some of us had pretty nearly
forgotten its existence But st. Louis has
determined that Chicago shall no longer carry
off all the honors, and that even if it cannot
have the national capital removed it will
make noise i'll the world, and let people
know that there is such place.

At the end of nine months the Hibernian
! Fire company has suecesde1 ia securing 81.
| allowances from the city. The reason urged
for the delay was tina. the company did not
keep itself in effective working order, when
in truth, the main reason for that condition
was the want Of tue quarterly dues TO buy
hose and other indispensable apparatus.
When we call to mind the thousands and
tens Of thousands of dollars saved every year
By our fire companies from certain destruc-
ton, and the heavy expense involved in keep.
ing up the organizations, the quarterly a.
lowances from the city, seem poor and in
adequate rscompense indeed. 1t is the boast
Of our citizens, aud its business is recognized
abroad. that Cairo ha. one Of the most eff
cient fire departments in the United States.
Let 1t go down, and the increased premiums
on insurance that viii be exacted from our
| property-holders, will form sum exceeding
! by twenty-foll the pittance given by the city
10 sustain it. 1t is, therefore, an act of wise
economy to deal literally with our fire COM
| pgnies. Their members brave any kind of
weather and danger, and work for the public
! good with an un,elfshness that challenges
| our highest admiration. A poor return we
make for all this and 20 make that return
