The Right of the People to Vote.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
trust you will not forget that thousands
of legal voters in this State have voluntarily
petitioned the Legislature for the right to

election which said it was a just, fair and
honest request all of which belonged to the
Republican party, and that you might as

short of vote on this question will ever

is greater feeling and stronger
determination to-day in the minds and
hearts of the people than ever on that ques-

stir them up. and their energies from this
time on will be doubled. No license or local

The HIGHEST Water Ever Known.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb 5.-Reports from all
parts of central Ohio show the floods to have
reached the highest water mark, by from SIX
to twenty inches, ever known. The Scioto,
in this city, was fourteen inches higher than
ever before, and the damage here is enor-
nous, mostly to the flooded portions on the
West Side. Over one hundred families had
to quit their houses The river by noon to-
day had fallen two feet, and the worst is
over. Reports from all points, especially
along the Scioto and branches show great
loss of bridges and devastation of farms. Re
ports along the Ohio canals to-day show gen.
pral losses by washing out of banks and
aQueductS, but not so serious as was ex-
pected last night Trains went out on all
roads this morning.

Great d mage to Railways, and Travel Much
Impeded.
PIrTsBURG, Feb 8. - The apprehensions
which were entertained here from the phe-
nomenial rise'in Allegheny river have been
allayed, as the waters have been stationary
for several hours The bridge connecting
Allegheny City with Sheers Island was
swept away this morning, and came in
contact with Mechanics-street bridge, do
ing much damage and resulting in
the close of the bridge to travel The Pitts
burg & Western Railway Company suffers
severely, every bridge and culvert from Col
Hery junction to the city having been washed
away. The road was able to run out trains
by using the West Pennsylvania tracks. The
Allegheny Valley and Fort Wayne roads
have also suffered greatly, and travel has
been nearly suspended. The lower portions
of Allegheny City and South side are under
water, and many workshops and foundries
have been compelled to shut down until the
subsistence of the flood The damage here
will exceed 100000, while the loss above
cannot at present be Appropriated.
The Monongahela river did not put out
much water, but is now rising. The ice in
the Youghiogheny remains intact. and no
damage has resulted to the coal moored at
different points along the river.
Dispatches from kittanning this morning
say the water is falling. Between seventy
five and 100 families are living in the second
stories or have moved out There is great
suffering among them on account OF the cold
weather. Trains are all delayed
At 10 o'clock tonight the water in the AL
legheny river is gradually receding, and all
danger from that source is regarded as over.
The Monongahea and Youghiogheny
rivers are now engaging attention. Both are
rising at headwaters, and great fears are en-
tertained that the gorge in the Youshioheny
will come out tonight and do serious dam
age to the bridges and the coal fleets moored
in the Mononganefa. Every precauuon Is
being taken by rivermen to protect their
property. The damage by the flood will
greati. exceed the first estimates, and will
not fall short of $3.50 00 The lower portion
of Allegheny City and the south side are
still submerged. but as the water is falling it
is thought the river will be within its banks
in few hours.
A dispatch from New Castle says a num-
Der of bridges crossing the Neshannock were

THE BALANCE OF ANIMAlS.-The penal-
ty OF failing to preserve the balance of ami
mails is u heavy one. Man always suffers
when the balance is disturbed, and his fav-
orlte remedy of eNterminating the dominant
race of animals by some other race. which
in turn needs to be exterminated, entails
endless labor. The English colonists in New
Zealand undertook to disturb the balance of
native animals by introducing rabbits. Of
course, the rabbits increased SO RAPIDLY
that the colonists are barely able to main
tain the struggle for existence against them
Accordingly, the mongoose is now being
imported into New Zealand in order that he
may eXterminate the rabbits. Doubtless he
will do his work, but in his turn the mon
goose will acquire preponderance which
will compel the colonists to find some other
animal to eXtirpate him. Thus there is no
end to the policy of animal extirpation. 1t
reminds one of the Italians of the Middle
Ages who first brought in the Freuch to
drive the Germans out Of Italy then brought
in the Spaniards to drive out the French.
and finally fell back upon the Germans and
induced them to drive out the Spauiards
The balance of animals was fatally disturbed in
Boston some years ago. The worms of Boston
Common were exterminated by the sparrows.
Squirrels were then introduced, and before long
