THE NKEDFoR RELIEF.

Pittsburg is Responding promptly and
nobly to the needs of the sufferers along the
Conemsugh valley for relief from their ter
rible damage which has been inflicted upon
them by the unprecedented food of Friday.
Too much cannot be done in this way.
Thousands of people are rendered destitute
and homeless, in addition to the unnum-
bered hundreds whose lives have been de-
stroyed by that terrible outburst the forces
of nature.
The contributions, which have already
been made, display an unsurpassed liberality.
but there is no danger that additional con-
tributions will exceed the needs of the oc-
casion. The,frst news from the disaster
commenced to count the losses of the home
less by scores, and later by hundreds; but it
is now evident that they must be counted by
thousands, and that the total of people
whose homes have been swept away at a
single blow is likely to amount up into the
tens of thousands. There is no possibility
of doing too much to relieve the inevitable
suffering from such a disaster. Clothing
will be needed, food will be needed, and
money will be needed to avert the horrors
which will exaggerate the calamity if the re-
lief is not prompt and ample.
The stricken district is naturally a por-
tiOn of the territory of which Pittsburg is
the center, and Pittsburg's response to the
relief of the destitute people should be as
nrompt and unbounded as the terrible and
unprecedented nature of the disaster. ..

IT SURPRISES FICTION.

A singular feature of the terrible disaster
along the Conemaugh river is its almost
exact reproduction upon a terribly ex-
panded scale of the similar calamity which
is told of in Charles Reade's story, 'tPut
Yourself in His Place" The representa-
ton of the terrible force of the sudden flood
in that work of fiction was considered ex-
aggerated when the book appeared. This
idea was corrected for Pittsburg readers by
the Butchers Run food; but the Johns
town disaster reproduces the incidents of
the story more exactly. In both cases q
manufacturing town lying along the mar
row valley of a river was swept away. In
both cases the disaster was caused by the
sudden bursting of an immense dam lying
above the devoted town and forming an
enormous reservoir. In reality, as well as
in fiction, the calamity was caused by a
sudden and unprecedented outpour of rain,
and the terrible loss Of life in the work of
the Imagination seems to have been dwarfed
by the actual horrors of the reality. The
improbability of the invented story is out
done by the terrors of the actual event.
Truth is stranger and more appalling than
fiction.

A CREDITABLE RESPONSE.

There is certainly much credit due to our
business men in the liberal response which
has been made to the need for relief of the
sufferers at Johnstown. An element of COM
pensation for the sudden and sweeping
nature of the disaster is contributed by the
fact that Plttsburg has been correspondingly
prompt and free-handed in coming to the
aid of its stricken neighbors.
Our city has not been exempt in the past
from the charge of slowness in public con-
tributions But the calamity at Johns
town came so near home and struck SO
many who are connected with Pittsburg by
tiesof friendshipand business thatour people
were closely touched. The contribution of
nearly hundred thousand dollars in a
single day is a measure of what our city
will do for its suffering neighbors when
aroused to the needs OF the case. 1t is also
a promise that Pittsburg is ready to do all
in its power to succor the survivors of the
Johnstown disaster and to relieve their
fearful losses.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS.

The provisions of the Constitution which
are obnoxious to classes interested in OBJ
tanning special favors from legislation are
those regulating the railway corporations,
the prohibition of special legislation and
the Limitation of municipal Indebtedness.
1t is asserted by the Chicago Tribune that
it is for the purpose of getting rid of these
stumbling blocks to corporate aggression
and municipal extravaganza in the Illinois
Constitution that movement was started
there for q convention to revise the Consti-
tuition.
It may not be the case that similar mo-
tives are behind the proposition for a con-
stitutional convention in this State. There
is no apparent foundation for such charge.
But it is evident that if q constitutional
convention should be called it would be
necessary for the public to take especial
precautions lest the interests that would be
benefited by the repeal of these salutary
provisions should gain control of the con-
vention. That danger is SO palpable that
the people Of the State may well ask them
selves whether it is not better to give the
present constitution fair trial than to cast
it aside within 10 years OF its ratification.
1t is pertinent fact that the people of
SouthDakota, who are just now framing
their own Constitution, are decidedly in
favor of these provisions. That instrument
forbids special legislation in favor of cor

COSTLY ROYAL DuKEs.

One of the endorsements under which
the English people continually labor, owing
to their form Of government, is the obliga-
ton not only to give their princes of the
royal blood Big allowances but also places in
the army, navy or civil service. 1t is bad
enough for the Britons to have to pay the
Duke of Edinburgh. the Dukeof Connaught
and the rest of them more than a gross of,
them would be worth, without having to
risk the valuable lives Of English soldiers
and sailors because OF the utter incom-
potency of their royal commanders. 1t is
one of the absurd relics of old-fashiOned
monarchy that the next decade is sure to see
removed.
Just now the Duke of Edinburgh, who is
a sulky man and shocking bad sailor, is
being tried by sort of make-believe court
martial for allowing the frst-class man-of-
war Sultan to run ashore one calm, clear
day on the Mediterranean. OF course, the
verdict will be that the warship Sultan is a
contrary kind Of boat, with horrid habit of
jamming herself on to reefs and things
whenever she gets a chance. But to tbe ex-
treme edifcation of the naughty Radicals
it has leaked out that the real reason of the
disaster, which came near resulting in the
loss of costly vessel, was that His Royal
Grace had been on a seaboard tear.
Now, tear on board ship only dif-
fers from tear on dry land in that
the limits of a vessel at sea make the ine-
briation, as a rule, more intense affair.
1t was a royal drunk; of that there is no
doubt The royal drunkard will doubtless
celebrate his whitewashing when it occurs
by another high old time.
Our navy has great many handicapping
conditions, but it is happily free from royal
dukes who know how to handle bottle
better than ship, whose reliance is in a
corkscrey rather than compass, and who
have no need to fear the consequences of
their misconduct.

NEITHER Room NOR PANIC.

1t is interesting to observe a number Of
our esteemed contemporaries discussing the
prospects for a business boom. The main
provocation for such a discussion appears to
be the impression that the interval of years
since the last boom is about sufficient to
make new one due. An editorial in the
Boston Herald which is fair example of
the style, refers to the fact that the interval
of eight or nine years has about elapsed;
then, taking up the theory that the prices
of iron afford fair indication for the
changes of business, it points out the fact
that the prices Of that staple are unprece-
dentedly low. and upon that basis it con-
cludes that there is no immediate prospect
of the change which will produce rapid
advance and general imitation of prices.
The conclgs;on is undoubtedly correct,
although tie premises by which it is reached
may be little confused. Low prices of
iron have very frequently preceded rapid
advance, but that mas always been due to
the fact that the margin of profits on the
manufacture of iron was SO far extinguished
as to induce general reduction Of output.
At present, although prices are very low,
there is still slight margin of profit and
the volume of production bids fair to be as
large this year as ever. Beyond that, there

Returning sewelI's Favors.

Another interesting piece of information has
also come to light. During the campaign last
summer, Harrison remarked to an intimate
friend that if he was elected, he should like to
have Sewell for his Secretary of War. The
same opinion was quietly sent to the Jersey
Senator. With his usual common sense reti-
cence the Jerseyman said nothing about it. 1t
is known in circles that are close to Sewell that
when Harrison sent for him soon after his
election, he offered the war portfolio to the
He said he would be satisfied with the naming
Of the New Jersey patronage. The President
elect said he wanted to do more than that. He
wanted his old friends advice at all times. So
they parted with that understanding. Conse-
quently the President is exchanging Jersey
patronage with Sewell for the latter's sagacity
and wisdom, L. g. N.

AN AWFUL REALITY.

One of the striking indications of the ap-
palling extent of the disaster in the Cone
maugh Valley is the fact that the early
reports concerning it instead of exaggerating
the loss of life and destruction of property
fell far short of it. The mind refused to
conceive the possibility of such a terrible
destruction as now proves to be the reality.
The estimate of deaths has grown from a
few scores at first, to be counted by hundreds
and now some estimates state the possibility
at foY-Urhve thousand lives are lost.
re fuller reports of the sweeping disaster
which are given this morning reveal the
existence of horrors that surpaSs all previous
conceptions of what might have taken
place. To the terrors of death by the sud-
den and devouring foods have been added
those of death by fire. The fearful calamity
was crowned by the burning of the pile of
wreekage thrown up against the railroad
bridge across the Conemsugh; and the hu-
man waits who had survived being swept
away in the floods to be imprisoned in that
mass of debris, were doomed to the mockery
of death by fire before they had fairly es-
capped that by water. The combination of
the two incongruous and antagonistic eie-
ments to produce an appalling and whole
sale destruction of life makes the calamity
an unequaled one in its fearful attributes.
Beside the awful total of lives that have
been suddenly blotted out, the destruction
of property though unprecedented is hardly
worth thought. The actual total of deaths
is as yet matter of conjecture. Reliable
returns indicate that it cannot be less than
two thousand, while above that there is an
awful margin of possibilities that swell the
estimates from three to ten thousand. The
only thing that is certain is that popula-
ton of 1900 to $1,000 dwelt in the path Of
the descending food. Some of these es-
capped; how many it cannot yet be told. It
is permissible to hope that the vast majority
of them have preserved their lives,
although they are still missing; but until
full returns are received the fear must re-
main that the destruction of life is to be
counted by the thousands.
Such fearful disaster surpasses comment
as completely as it dwarfs previous concep-
tions In the awful presence of the facts
humanity can only stand dumb and awe
stricken until it rouses itself to efforts in
behalf Of the sufferers who have escaped
with their lives and little else.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-02

is the fact that rapid advances in the price
in the iron market, heretofore, have invari-
ably been caused bya sudden and unex-
pected increase in the demand. This has
nearly always been due to large resump-
tion Of railroad building, and to increased
expenditures in repairs and equipments
after period of adversely in the railroad
business had induced general economy in
those departments.
While there has been, of late, q falling off
in the railroad demand for iron and steel;
and while there is hope that good crops
would induce a moderate increase in that
department of consumption for our manu-
features, there is no reason to expect such
an increase as will produce rapid and ex-
ceptional imitation of values. Indeed the
more pertinent question now seems to be
whether there is any danger of continued de-
preston amounting to panic, rather than
whether there is any probability of boom
in prices. The most satisfactory feature>of
the present situation, in the iron market at
least, is the evident impossibility of either.
Prices rest upon such foundation OF DOT
tom rock that any marked decline is as i'm
possible as any rapid advance. The market
is about as low as it can be, and its capacity
for meeting all demands upon it, is SO great
as to make it practically certain that no
great expansion can occur. There may be,
and all interests will unite in hoping that
there will be, moderate increase in profits
and marked enlargement in the volume of
traffic But unless some new and wholly
unexpected factors should intervene, it may
be taken as foregone conclusion that the
fluctuations of prices for iron during the
next year or two, will be confined within
moderate limits.
It is for the real good of conservative
business that we should have neither panic
nor boom. A panic is destructive, but an
imitation of values. is the surest precursor of
the shrinkage which must inevitably follow
