HELP FOR TIE SUFFERERS.

Tn the Immediate presence of the frghtful
calamity which has visited the inundated vii
lagos in Western Massachusetts with destruc-
ton and death, the duty OF discovering at
whose door the fault of criminal negligence
lies is not the most pressing one. Doubtless
there was fault somewhere. The accident
might have been avoided had the dam been
properly built. But here are three entire viii
lagos swept away, families bcreft of home
and reduced to pcnury, property destroyed,
children made orphans and wives made widows
in an hour, and through the beautiful val
ley where tho flood took its venge-
full course there Is ono long stretch
of desolatiOn and death. The first
duty is charity. We can wait to know whose
fault it was that the dam was badly con-
structed, weak, and dangerous, an overhang
ing death to all i'll the villages below. 1t Is
not necessary that we press this question now
in the very presence of the ruin that has been
wrought. Time enough for that by and by
when something has been done to alleviate
the distress and relieve the suffering of the
victims of the disaster. Possibly those who
are most in fault have paid already most
dearly for their negligence or their confidence.
harsh Judgment
A great portion of the sorrow that has de-
scended so suddenly upon these little commu-
mites we may not touch except with orr
sympathies The broken and desOlated homes
we cannot restore, nor bring back the loved
ones who are missing from 30 many heart
broken families. But we can at least contrib
ute from our abundance to the relief of those
who have in this fearful disaster lost all.
Hundreds have been thrown out OF employ
ment and left without penny in the world.
They need help. Words are cheap and sym
pathy is well enough in its way, but what is
wanted is money to furnish these distressed
people with comforts, to procure shelter for
the homeless and provisions for the destitute.
New York is never slow to respond to such q
call, and we know that only a word is needed
to open all the channels of benevolonce and
send to the Massachusetts sufferers immediate
aid. 1t cannot be too speedy. and there is no
danger of too prodigal an Offering 1t is a
call upon the generous impulses of a proverb-
tally generous people. There should be no
delay. We must not wait for any authorized
call for help. We know already how sOrely 1t
is needed. Let us not be slack in Offering it,
All other considerations, and especially that
of who is to blame, should be subordinate to
this first great pressing duty of charity. The
offerings have already begun, and to-day
should swell them to an amount that will go
far towards furnishing immediate relief for
the sufferers
