TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Memorial of the Henry George Club o.
Johnstown to Johu Coffin and Abram
s. Eldridge.
"There are no dead. The boundless
universe is life"
John Coffin and Ahram Eldridgc have
gone from us, but somewhere, we hope
we feel, we trust, that part of them which
knows and thinks, and feels and loves, has
entered on the higher life.
We say goodbye and farewell. Their
work here was not done. We cannot say
that, but it was well done day by day as
they lived. No more can be expected of
any man, and no more can any do.
Had they remained on earth, what new
truths might not their exploring minds
minds have found at least how well
would they have helped to spread the
knowledge of the truth already known.
Two strong bright minds, their brains
in perfect touch and hoarts in sympathy.
Coffln ara Eldridse both lived better,
happier, more useful lives for having
known each other, and in wLat we call
death, they were parted but a little time.
One died contemplating the avalanche
of the food rushiug toward him, knowing
his dear ones were already swept away,
and powerless in that moment of despair
to make the leap which would have
sa red him. The other was not less vic
. tim Of the flood though passing away at
home th loving wife and tender friends
around him, for how hard John Coffin
worked 10 help the living is known of all.
They went different ways, ia, they are
gone.
The work they had started out to do,
to which each had consecratcd the best
efforts of his life, we must now take up
where they left off. We cannot do it as
they would have done, but we can work
to the same end and some day, let US
believe, the rising hope will be an actn-
.ality-the hope which is " the heart of all
religions" our inspiration and our star
Goodbye, farewell.

more comfortable than those of the pio
neers who have settled all our prairie
States and Western borders, or than peo-
pie generally erect to live in while
endeavoring to make living or
arhass fortune IN new country.
In view of all this. we feel, with the
writer of Wednesday article, that under
the unprecedented woe which blighted
your homes and darkened your lives, it
were well that strangers came in to do for
your people what they had not the means
nor the heart to do for themselves, and that
up to the present time their aid and pres
ence have been needed and well, but
that possibly the time has now come
when as dispensers of public charity
they should withdraw, the people of
Johnstown once more come to stand upon
their own feet, and the avenues of
trade be fully opened"
But nothing is more true than the re-
mark 50 wisely, thoughtfully, and ten
derly made, that there will still be those
who cannot do without help whom =" ye
have always with you," and whom we are
commanded to remember.
In this we also join with the writer in
the recommendation of thorough and
strong organization of your people as
dispensers of your own charities, for
which charge the action of the smaller
committee which have witnessed shows
conclusively you have abundant and rich
material.
And the Red Cross is happy in beng
able to go somewhat farther than the
mere recommendation. We will do all
in our power to aid in placing such an Or
ganlzation on good working basis, and
from our position we can provide it with
what might otherwise prove serious OBJ
stacle to overcome, VIZ, place in which
to store supplies and from which to dis
tribute; and we shall gladly place in its
hands all which may remain of our sup
plies after our list of applications is filled.
O-her supplies will come to you when
once it is known that Johnstown is again
on its feet and caring for its own.
Such an organization will be to us the
knot that will serve to bind the loose
threads of all the work which has been
done here in the past months, and rob
our parting of its sharpest sting,
