ton OF no responsibilities OF, or for others.
l can no more step in TO make good any
patron prepaid subscription than l could
demand anOthers unsettled account.
These are differences to be settled with the
assignee, and IL Is as unreasonable TO ex-
pect me TO make good any such deficits As
II would be TO expect the HaR'n News Co,
or any dealer IN any other part of the
world.
am impelled 10 make this statement
from the fact that several parties seem to
consider II my province to complete I'M
filled subscriptions, and a refusal on my
part is sufficient ground for charge of
"cOllusiOn," fraud" and such kindly
epiJhets.
Were I in a position to do so. it would
give me great pleasure 10 do an act that
would thus maintain the credit and stand
ing OF the subscription news business IN
these Islands. The next best thing TO be
done is 10 conduct 1t hOnorablv with all

experience of nearly twenty years in this
city, VIII strive to maintain the public con-
idence and support.

Mr.. EDITOR: In reply to questions
by subscribers for bonds, as to ex-
pense of travelling daily to and from
Eva, I beg to say, all purchasers of
lots from the company will be able
to make special rates, which will be
found satisfactory Many persons
were very sure the trans" could
never pay at such low fares. Think
they will live to be surprised again
at the low rates it will be possible to
carry people on the steam road, and
still make it pay well. We all live
to learn.

is to set the machinery of the law in
motion. A few convictions, and the
evidence of a determination on the
part of the Government to follow the
matter up systematically, would have
a wonderfully stimulating effect. In
so small community as this, such
statistics should come as near abso-
lutte accuracy as they do in any coun-
try In the world.

THAT awful geometrical progression
business reappears i'm novel and amusing
form at Mddetown, New York. II seems
that forty eight years ago thrifty farmer,
Minard Freer, loaned eve sheep To Amos
Ellison, u neighbor's boy, under q practice
known Ms letting out live stock TO double
every four years" Tho principle was that
the borrower took the eve, agreeing to
keep her and her progeny and to return to
the lender whenever demanded out of the
natural increase of the flock in the geomet-
rical progression Of two for one every fourth
year. The lender and borrower are both
dead, and during their lives, 40 far as APP
pears, no demand was ever made. Now
Farmer Freor's widow has brought suit
against the estate of Amos Ellison for her
share of the progeny of the eve up To Eli
sons death In lSs2, figuring up that she Is
entitled to the return of 80 sheep, o,
otherwise TO be paid the equivalent in cash
of $3.50 head, equal to Si,Is0. A referc,
reports that the claim is barred cut under
the statute of limitations, but the widows
lawyers will appeal.
This geometrical progression principle
has of recent years been applied to charit-
able enterprises with some success and
much trouble, but there would be woe in
the land if legal measures were taken to
force the victims to complete their con
tracts.

LAMCASTER, PA, July 8, 1889.
A Warning.

We print from the Johnstown Demo
Y eruf . very positive and clear statement
Eof the warnings sent TO that doomed
1own, and their Indifferent reception.
There have also been published by sur
vivors statements equally emphatic de-
fclaring that they heard no warning, and
this is another proof Of the incredulity
Of most of the people. II was of course
Impossible to deliver the warning form
ally to each individual, and the people
who were told of the danger appear to
have been so incredulous that they
neglected to spread the news, and if
TREY had done SO il is not probable that
the alarm of their neighbors would have
been more active than their own. There
is a certain sense of security given by
numbers, and crowd is not easily
frightened by invisible danger. Who
could dream that in few minutes this
swarming happy valley would be the
scene Of one of the most terrible disasters
In the history Of man? The horror
had long been threatening, but those
who point to threatening horrors are
usually laughed at for their pains, be-
cause 1t somehow rarely happens that
the calamities arrive. But when at rare
intervals community suffers the PEN
atty of Its indifference, people Of other
regions wonder at the neglect Of warn
Ing and meanwhile continue themselves
TO despise similar warning When yell
low fever breaks out in the South there
fe at last a hurrying and scurrying To
clean up Southern towns, but very little
b done in the North though the pesti-
hence has done fearful work there not
long ago, and cholera may come any day.
We have had n very unusual series of
heavy rains following the food aud from
many points along the Susquehnnna the
5 accounts of overflowed low lands and
mud and filth deposited by the water
are accompanied with forcibly expressed
fears of pestilence. Mud, rank vegeta-
tion, decaying animal and vegetable
matter, a few weeks of very hot weather
and a very dangerous pestilence. This
procession Of events seems very natural
at present, and we are not very far from
the places where the threatening condi-
tions prevail. Lancaster Is n remarkably
healthy city, with no cause TO tremblc at
anything short or an earthquake but IL
the neglected councils TO support Board
OF Health let's the town lapse into filth,
she may some day have miserable ex-
perience with pestilence.

Writing I'm The Prize Fight.

III may be fhat such interest Is telt by
the general public in the Sullivan Kill
rain prize fight as to warrant the space
devoted to II by the newspapers 4; but II
b hard to believe it, and we believe tina,
. great many people do not read with
interest the stuff that is printed about
the palace car journeys of these fellows
through the states. 1t is dull time for
news and something is needed to occupy
the attention now that floods have been
exhausted. The mercantile feature in
Wwspaper publication has become SO
engrossing that the conductors of metro
politan dailies think only how they
shall make their papers sell. II is not
quality that commands the biggest sales;
and this IL very notable popularity of
metropolitan journalism. The inference
is that the multitude do not demand
quality and that the newspapers is bought
to 8muse and not to inform and that
its success depends upon the amount of
the stuff that 1t can provide for an in
eatiate public NAV that is eager to
swallow anything that is at all stimulat-
Ing or exciting.
4 little thing may be worked into a
big thing by skillfui handling, and the
art Of publishing newspaper has come
to be largely that of making sensation
out of dead news clod that has no ap-
parent life in 1t. This prize fight, which
Is normally matter of interest only to
the rough, is worked up so as to attract
the attention even of those who have a
holy horror Of the ring. MANY "A
preacher or elder, not heavily fortified
by grace, may doubtless be caught read
ing the accounts of the mill ii il comes
of, and may even he betrayed into
glancing over the stupid stories
of the progress of the bruisers in
their special trains. Perhaps they
may claim to be moved by
the motive which Talmage alleged in
Justification of his visits to the vile places
of the city-seeking knowledge that
might enable him to warn his flock
against their perils.
There is no doubt that the newspaper
reporter may stir up an interest in
stupid things by persistent agitation, and
may draw into the reading of his tales
those who have little natural taste for
the subject but il seems To us that the
thing is being overdone in this prize
fight progress description. The good
sense Of the country can hardly he
pleased at the prominence given
TO the parlor car journeys of
these brutal men upon their unlawful
mission. The general taste can hardly
fail to revolt at the extended description
given TO the unimportant acts of pro-
fessional pugilists, or be gratified at
being told how big dinner Sullivan
ate or how much beer Kilrain drank. 1t
may be expected TO have nauseating
effect on many mental constitutions 10
others doubtless ii is food and it would
be interesting TO know which company
= the bigger. Presumptively those
who revel in these dish water descrip-
tions are the more, since the newspaper
- printed for the many but we would
like 10 believe that in this case editors
have overshot their game.
