There is no other civilized government
which pursues in its public service course
which the President has truly described as
brutal, and which he has chosen to pursue.
VIOLATED EVERY PROMISE.
There is no pretense that the public in
terest, or the principles of reform, or the
professions Of the party, or the pledges of
the President, required their dismissal.
The President, speaking for the party, had
made the four pledges which l have men
toned, ard every one of them was
violated By these dsmissals. II is not
pretended that there was any reason for
the executive action except the desire
to reward party service which whether
sound reason or not, the
President had publicly disclaimed, as a
proper motive for appointment or cause
for removal. The dismissal in the case of
the Naval officer was delayed oaly until
the factions of the party, which had pro-
claimed that the public service should not
be made party plunder, could agree upon
a satisfactory distribution of the spoils,
The result is that the two public offices

important of its kind in the country,
which we're in themselves conclusive illus.
tratiOus of the practical value of reform TO
the public welfare, have been degraded |
sgain into prizes Of partisan activity By
the administration of party which solic-
tied support upon the plea that reform OF
the civil service auspiciousy began under
its guidance, should be further extended
wherever it was practicable.
FLOUTED THE REFORM.
Mr.. Curtis then quotes and commends
the following expressions from a Republi- |
can journal in Philadelphia. He said it
vas just verdict: "The administration,
n almost every one OF lis acts since it was
on the 4ih of March last, has
secuted and fiouted civil service reform
md trampled under foot it's own promises
% defend it. 1t has turned it out OF doors
md barred the doors against it. That is
he truth about the matter in brief, and
he administration and its organs could do
40 better, wiser thing than 10 frankly
confess that having found civil service re-
Orm to interfere with its plans, it whis-
led it dowu the wind as remorselessly as
t wonld dismiss an Objectionable tramp"

means for their relief. He also made con-
tribution to the relief fund.
The latest reports from Harpor's Ferry
say the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers are
rising one foot per hour. Cattle, boats and
other drift are running thick. The river is
very high here and is rising The water has
reached b street and has put out the fire in
the engine house al the Washington monu-
ment and stopped the elevator. The
cellars on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue aro flooded. Last
night, after fall OF rain almost equivalent
to cloud burst, the lock gate and end of

several canal boats into Rock creek, where
they were destroyed Since then the river
has been rising rapidly and flood waters from
Harper's ferry and upper tributary are
swelling it every moment. Along b street
north, in the neighborhood OF the market,
country producers were driven Off early in
the day, and the street was turned into
lake on which fioated chicken coops, market
trucks and all sorts of odds and ends. Gel
lars were flooded and much damage to prep
erty resulted among the commission houses.
Up in Georgetown the scene along the
river bank was exciting The docks are
under water, and lumber, coal, cement and
provisions, and all kinds of property have
been carried away.
AT Long Bridge the water at sunset was
almost level with the bridge. Several barges
already have struck and sunk here, and rail
road men are making every effort to prevent
the accumulation of drift against the bridge.
The water is still creeping up, however, and
the bridge is in precarious condition. If it
is carried away, tonight, which is by no
means improbable, the result will be a ser
ious and long interruption of the railroad
traffic between the north and south.
The Golfer dam at Long Bridge has been
greatly injured and much of the work which
has been done upon the Potomac Hats at an
expense of millions of dollars, will be un-
done. 1t is not yet possible to estimate the
losses suffered by merchants and warehouse
men, but one individual has lost $500 worth
of coal on one dock.

to TnE BEE. president Harrison came near
being lonely yesterday. The white house was
almost deserted. q Only twelve men called
on the president. Representative Owen OF
Indiana had conference lasting almost an
hour. The rain poured down in torrents all
day and had a very depressing effect upon
the office-seekers. This, together with the
announcement published in various demo-
cratic papers west and which reached here
this morning, that the president had ceased
to appoint Indianians TO office outsid or their
state, kept the usual crowd away. II un-
true that the president has stopped
the recognition of men from his own state
except to fll local ofioes. He said that he
intended to recognize and please as many OF
his personal and party friends in Indiana as
possible, and that he would not cease APP
pointing them until the offices were ex-
hausted. II is true, however, that there Is
glut in the Indiana onice seekers market and
a practical suspension OF operations, at
which the hopeful complain. However, the
announcement that there are TO be no more

Relief For Sufferers,

PITTsBuRG, June In this city, to-day,
there was but one topic of conversation, and
that was the Johnstown deluge. Crowds of
eager watchers all day long besieged the
newspaper bulletin boards and rendered the
streets impossible. Many of them had
friends or relatives in the stricken district
and ''names, Names" was their cry, but
there were no names. The storm, which had
perhaps swept away tho lives of their loved
ones. had also carried away all means of com
municatons, and their vigil was unrewarded.
To show the state to which the telegraph is
reduced it is sufficient to state it is not vet
known whether the telegraph operator at
Johnstown is dead or alive. The nearest
point to that city which can be reached to-
night Is New Florence, and the one wire
there is almost constantly taken up by orders
for coffins, embalming fluid and preparing
special cars to carry the recovered to their
homes.
The mayors OF Pittsburg and Allegheny
issued calls for mass meetings, which were
responded to by throngs of Pittsburg's

NEW HAVEN, Pa, June MANY of the
houses here are partially under water, while
at Bolivar the whole lower part of town is
inundated. Every creek is a rushing river
and every rivulet raging torrent. The
ground is water-soaked, and when
the immense mountain district which
drains into the Conemaugh above South
Fork is taken into consideration, the terrible
volume of water that must have accumulated
few minutes it came against the South
Fcrk dam with irresistible force. The
frightened natives along the Conemaugh de-
scribe the flood as something awful. The
first rise came almost without warning and
the torrent came roaring down the mountain
passes in one huge wave several feet in
height. After the first swell the water
continued to rise at a fearful rate.

New YoRK, June L-lSpocial Telegram
to TuE BEE, the Herald this morning pub
fishes three dispatch from Ottawa
giving history of the seal fishery troubles
between the United States aud Canada. It
is held that this government now claims
rights which she long ago denied to Russia
before tho Alaska purchase and which Russia
was forced to surrender when the United
States bought the territory from Russia.
We could acquire no greater right than Rus
sia had. The ground taken IL that this
change of base is due 10 the
Alaska Commercial company. War
may come. The British commanders
orders are not known, but II
like former orders, ho may use force to pro-
tect Canadian sealcrs. But IL there is no
chance collision between the squadrons of the
two powers, there is more than u possibility
of blood being shed in an encounter between
scalers and the crews of revenue cutters.
People Interested in tho scaling industry in
British Columbia have determined to prose-
cuto their calling at all hazards, and II they
are interferod with they will treat the inter-
mcddler as n pirate.
The Herald concludes: "Of one thing tho
people of the United States may be assured
peace between the two great English
speaking people is endangered not in the
true interests of the people of the republic,
but in the interests of the Alaska CONNER
