AMONGST the voters there Is a good
deal of scepticism Us to whether the
Railway Commissioners will give the
people any installment Of tho changes
promised by the San Jose Convention.
We think they are mistaken as TO this.
While tho Commission is proceeding in
its work with great deliberation there is
q sentiment rife in the people Of this
State that we think will undoubtedly
make itself respected. Though we do
not believe that the Board will commit
itself to any extreme measures, we en-
terrain no doubt that. as result Of the
strenuous arguments which are now
taking place before the Commissioners,
material reductions in freights and fares
will ensue. 1t Is Democratic Board
and while the Democratic party would
suffer by any violent or resontful program
me, its members are solemnly commit
ted to reduction Of freights and fares.
Whether these will be submitted to by
the Railway managers is the real ques.
ton, in our opinion. The probability is
that the able legal staff Of the Central
Pacific Railway Company has already
devised plan of appeal which will
carry the whole question, with the
almost innumerable collateral issues,
before the United States courts. Delay
and protracted litigation will uudoubt-
edly result, in consequence.

The big writers are paid retaining fees
not to write for more than one paper.
Then they are paid SO much column
for what they write. So wild and un.
governable is the editorial mania, that
at least one paper-the Times actually

900 year, whose business it is to send
a long editorial telegram every day.

three columns. 1t is the same system
OF management which induces the de.
votion of not more than one half or
three quarters of column to such n
paltry event as the fatal burial of about
sixty people in the ruins of falling
mill
The editors cling to the long .winded
editorial business here because they
think anything else would be failure,
and because their grandparents had it
that way. They are great chinners
about the dignity of journalism, and
they don't take into consideration the
possibility that paper which is all dig.

are few journals in London which are
beginning to illustrate the fact that brew.

Such weeIlies as Truth and the World,
and such dailies as the Pal Mall Gazette
go in for short articles and paragraphs,
to the exclusion OF the old system of
telling things. The Daily Ne,es is be.
ginning to fall into line, too; but that
fancy, is because Labouchere, who owns
Truth, and has made it one of the most
valuable pieces of property in the world,
is also one OF the proprietors of the
Neirs.

HALF the blessings of life are under

the inspired book struck the key note
when it said that "the healthy know not
Of their health, only the sick" The
other day when, by meteorological &C.
cident so rare as to have excited the
establishment of the Oldest inhabitant,
the mercury happened, for a few nom.
ents, to drop to 26 degrees above zero in
Los Angeles, the grumbling was quite
general. Not a thought was bestowed
upon the fact that, in the East, the mer-
cary was ranging all the way from ten to
forty degrees below zero, and that our
immunity from the extremes of cold and
heat is such as excites the envy Of the
people Of the East. Take, for instance,
the foods which are now raging east of
the Rockies. Here is not only sensible
Inconvenience but positive peril to
thousands and tens Of thousands. 1t is
not only unpleasant but very hazardous

TnE oaving in of railway depot at
Cincinnati, and the engulphing Of u
multitude Of spectators, would seem to
DO, even allowing for the un precedented
floods, a thing which ought not to hap
pen in progressive American city. If
there is one respect in which Americans
most signally fail, it is in the supervis-
ion of public buildings. This negli-
gence really amounts to a crime. We
might very well learn a lesson in
such matters from the stnid people Of
Europe. Only the other day the courts
in Vienna passed exemplary sentences on
the officials whose business it was to
have made such q disaster as that of the
Ring Theater impossible, and who failed
to respond TO their trust.

II was at the hour of morning prayer

astrophe, the unfortunate one in her
confusion and embarrassment remained
upon the floor, and the exercises might
have been concluded without interrup.
ton except for one OF those extraordin.
airy and malicious condolences which
are forever upsetting every calculation.
The teacher arose and giving out the
first lesson OF morning prayer read from
the fifth chapter Of Amos as follows:
THE virgin of Israel has fallen; she
shall rise no more ; she is forsaken upon
the land; there is none to raise her UP. {"
This was too much. A long.suppressed
litter pervaded the school room, the
teacher looked up. and the devotional
exercises closed forthwith.

The Hon. Denis kearney has re.en-
tered public life as violent opponent OF
the proposed new Charter of San Fran.
cisco, which consists of ninety thousand
words. The Oakland Times suggests
that Denis's vocabulary contains so many
more words than the charter that he
ought to succeed in defeating it. There
are such multitude Of conflicting in
terests in the Golden Gate that probably
even Kearney's opposition to the charter
won't cause its adoption.

The Flood mt Louisville A
square Vile or the city Under
Water-An Appalling scene.

LOUISVILLE, KY, February l3.--The
greatest disaster that ever befell
this city came at midnight.
To-day nearly square mile OF
territory is submerged within the limits
OF the city and 5000 to 5000 people are
driven from their homes. There has
been loss Of life also, but ii Is impossible
to say how great. The residents had
plenty warning, having seen the disaster
coming since yesterday, but they were
infatuated and stuck to tho bottoms Of
old Bear grass creek, stayed home and
most OF them went to bed as usual.
About eleven last night the break came.
The cut off dam, overcome by the terrific
weight Of water from above, gave way.
Instantly with loud roar the food
rushed over. II may be imagined with
what force the waters came, when they
had to fall fifteen to eighteen feet to the
low ground beneath. In less time than
it takes to tell, the yellow tide was
sweeping in from all points and sur
prised the unfortunate people in their
houses. The mighty rush of water
swept from square to square. rapidly ris
ing in the houses, and sevoring many from
their foundations. The roar Of the
water could not drown the screams of
the terrified ones escaping from their
doomed dwellings. Skiifs shot about
from window to window; men, women
and children waded through the advance
ing waters, each with whatever house,
hold goods they could lay hands on.
Bonfres glimmered from the higher
ground which the poor outcasts had
gained and hundreds of people shivered
in their wet clothing about smoky fires.
To an observer who stands to-day at the
foot OF jackson, Shelby or Clay streets
IT is impossible to understand why the
loss Of life was not larger. The scene
last night beggars description. People
who wero blissfully sleeping in the full.
est confidence that the embankment
would shelter them, were rudely awak-
ened by the flood coming into their
houses. Some were even surprised
in bed when the stroke camo. 1t was
like lightning. The panic was awful
