THE OHIO CALAMITY.

The loss and suffering inflicted upon
the people of the Ohio valley by the
flood in the rivers, is so extensive and
severe as to amount almost to a national
calamity. We have had cyclones. grass
hoppers and drouths in Kansas, and
know what it is TO be cut short on our
crops, and to see our anticipatiOns
dwindle into nothing, but all the losses
ever sustained in Kansas would not
amount to those borne in any one of the
large cities on the Ohio river during the
past ten days. Then when we come to
consider that this is repetition of the same
trouble that was inflicted last year, the
contemplation of the situation is well
calculated to excite feelings Of sympathy
and alarm.
The telegraph, from day to day, has
brought US but mere outline of the
losses and sufferings. Could all the
particulars be presented of the homes
destroyed; of the thousands
of homeless women and chill
dren huddlcd together in public
buildings who are subsisting entirely on
public charity; of the millions OF dol
lars worth of prop. rty-the result OF
the toll OF years-swept sway Ia an
or; even of the human life swept into
the vortex; the picture would be appall
ing. We r, ad of disasters by flood and
earthquake IN foreign countries, and
wonder why such countries are popula
ted, and yet they are no worse than THU
calamity in the Ohio valley for two sue
cessive years, except in the item OF the
loss of life which follows the most VIC
lent Recommendations of nature In some o.
the foreign lands.
One of our ci,izeas who had iivsC
many years on the banks of the OhlG
says that nothing cnuld inducr
him to return there, as such disaster

THE CoHKLSsIoNERs, LETTRR


THE COMMISSIONERS LETTER.
|. We doubt il anything has ever ap-
peared in the public prints of Kansas
which has be. n more generally read or
which has excited greater measure OF
comment than the letter of the railway
commissioners 10 A. E. Touzalin, vice
president of the Santa Fe railroad. And
We may further add that never have we
heard more unanimous and hearty en-
dorsement of an article Than has been
accorded, at least in this community, to
this document. II has been urged by
spologists for thu railroads that the let
ter shows too much personal anImus,
and that It's effect would have been more
salutary had its tone bsen marked by
less acerbity. We do not believe that
this objection will be urged by any
faiT-minded man who will take the pains
to give the letters of Mr.. Touzaiin to the
commissioners a careful reading. They
were marked by a spirit of insolerce
which not only invited but demanded
the keen reprimand which the commIs
sibners have administered to the gentle
man who aspersed their motives and
questioned tue sincerity of their official
action, and any concessions on their part
in return would have btea Illuminating
70 themselves and the people whose SER
wants they are. Dir. Touzaiin simply
mistto ok the spirit of the Kansas people
in manner which 1t seems almost i'm
possible fer gentleman of
his knowledge of men and
affairs to do. and llled down upon him
self the severe casligstion which he re-
ceived.
We will admit that his course has been
a deeply unfortunate thing for the road
whose interests he doubtless desired to
subserve, but neither the commissioners
nor the people of Kansas should be
held responsible for his ignorance and
arrogance. The commissioners could
not have done less than they did in this
matter and uphold the dignity of their
trust aud if the correspondence between
them and Mr.. Tnuzalin has widened the
breach between the people and the rail-
roads, the party who insugurated the
warfare Is 10 blame.
II is certain that pubic sentiment
endorses the course pursued by the com
missioners and the clear, logical state.
ment of the railroad situation set forth
in their letter to Mr.. TouzalIn has won
friends for the law creating The commIs-
sion all over the state. 1t Is the be-
liet of the public that the commission
ers, so far from desiring to Cypress ii g
railroads are actuaief by hearty desire
to do them the fullest justice, and so
long as their policy is based upon such
d thorough knOwledge of the conditions
of the case rs is shown In theri let
ter to Mr.. Touza'ia, 1t will
ceive The cordial supp )rt of the people
of this commonwealth. The action of
Mr.. TOuz4lIn has thoroughly aroused the
people on this question, ard 1t Is quite
needless for him or the company which
he represents to attempt to stay the tide
of popular sentiment which has been
awakened by the persistent intrench-
ments, in the face OF much friendly ad-
wee, of the corporations upon the
rights of the public.

4 RUINED TOWN.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: When
the rivers are low, the sun shining and
the grass green, Lawrenceburg is very
inviting and rather peaceful city to look
upon and TO live in. But even then Its
location suggests the danger OF sub
mergence. For it has not only the Ohio
but the Big Miami TO menace il, and
when either one is on the rampage, is in
danger, and when they combine there is
no avoidance of a baptism. The present
flood has already utterly destroyed
over one hundred and fifty houses
in the town, and so racked and unsettled
others as TO render them unfit for habi-
tation. Indeed, the majority of the
houses in Lawrenceburg, after two such
imm, rsions as they have suffered during
the floods Of 1888 and 1884, are so
damaged that the repairs necessary to
make them habiiable will cost nearly as
much as to build new ones.
In view of these floods, and their pos
sible and even probable recurrence, the
QUESTION SUCCESS itself whether 1t
would not be sound economy to abandon
the town and select higher and whole
somer site

MR. GTLLETT ACCEPTS.


Hon. Almerin Gillett, the newly ap.
pointed railroad commissioner, came up
from Emporia yesterday, and was in con-
sultation with Members of the executive
council Last evening the gentleman
called at this Office and stated his con-
clusion to accept the position.-COm-
monwealth.
II affords US sincere qualification to
note that Mr.. Gillett has determined to
honor the demand which the state has
made upon his services. The unani-
nous satisfaction expressed over his
appointment indicates the confidence
which the people feel in his ability 10
ill the trust proffered him by the
executive council, with honor
to himself and the pub
.ic, and his acceptance thereof means
that he Will give his best energies to the
work of the Office which he has been
called to fill. That he will be equally
fair to the people ami TO the railroads,
no one woo knows him will doubt. His
conservative cast of mind justIfies the
belief that all conclusions which he may
reach IN connection with his official ca
pacity will be the result of thorough re-
search and patient investigation, aud the
questions involved will be decided upon
the facts and the law in the case.
The press of Kansas has most heartily
endorsed the appointment of Mr.. Gil
lett as the successor of Major Hopkins,
and the highest compliment which we
can pay the new commissioner is to ex.
press the belief that he will fully re-
pair the severe loss which the board suf
fered in the death of his distinguished
nradanaaanr
