An Outrageous Conspiracy.


There is something revolving TO the
common mind in putting tax on salt.
Salt is of such universal use that the at
tempt to make it scarce or dear seems
like proposition to limit the supply of
air or water. The prOtectionists i'll this
country have taxed 1t, but they excuse
themselves with the plea that they only
intend thereby to encourage Its cheaper
production 1t is the one universal
SAVIOR common to savage and civilized
men. Perhaps the failure Of the salt
trust to get its shares taken may be ac-
counted for by an innate appreciation Of
the inhumanity of such speculation.
Even an Arab, after he eats salt with a
stranger, viii no longer cheat him in a
horse trade Salt is at once the token of
hospitality and the preserver and cement
of friendship. To conspire to make salt
dear is crime. No man would like to
be found dead with a salt trust certif-
cate in his pocket.

DISCUSSING the murder of a white pris-
oner by a black constable in Bastrop
county a Massachusetts Republican
paper says: ''Nor do Northern pa
pers and politicians help the matter.
The trouble does not lie wholly on either
side. We are inclined to think that the
blacks should have been distributed
among all the states. by the government
when they were enfranchised. But some
of our Northern friends would have OBJ
jected strongly to this. - The trouble is
that too many Northern papers and
politicians do not wish to help the
matter-they need Southern ques-
ton with which to fire the Northern
heart, and maintain a protective tariff
through which the rich are made richer
and the poor poorer.

MORE SAD NEWS.

TeIeRrams and Other Information Tell of
the Denth of Miss Jennie PaulsOn.
One of the saddest Of the very many over
whelmingly sorrowful events connected with
the Johnstown disaster was the confirmation
yesterday of the fears that were entertained as
to the fate of Miss Jennie Paulson, Of Allie
gheny, and her young friend, Miss Bryan, of
New York, who were on the train which was
caught by the rushing waters.
Miss Paulson and Miss Bryan left Pittsburg
on the express Friday morning. Though no
news was heard of either until Monday, a
rumor then came that they were at Altoona;
and, full of hope Miss Paulson's brother, Mr..
Frank Paulson, started to join and return with
his sister Where there had at first been fears
there was a feeling of glad confidence and
gratitude that the young ladies were safe:
This was terribly dispelled yesterday by re-
ceipt of telegram from friend of the fam.
ily, DR.. Buchanan advising them to prepare for
the worst. Later came the information from
Mr.. Swift DAVIS who was a passenger on the
ill-fated express, that Miss Paulson and Miss
Bryan had both been drowned. AS the state
appeared but returned for their overshoes, and
before they could again escape the rushing
waters they were fatally overwhelmed.
The news of Miss Paulson's death is not only
terrible af1iction to her estimable family, but
will cause profound sorrow among her and
their innumerable friends in both cities.
A young lady deservedly beloved by all for
most sterling qualities that make and adorn
Christian character, the bereavement to family
and friends is terrible one, and the more so, If
possible, because of the hopes OF her safety
which temporarily prevailed. Many express
sIons of the deepest sympathy were conveyed
to the afflicted relatives yesterday when the sad
news spread through the city.

Practical Men Sny Johnstown Can be Re-
built AdvantaEeousIy.
Optimistic views of the disaster are begin
ming to come to the front. Messrs. Joseph
Brown, of Bailey & Brown, iron makers and
John A. Harper, of the Bank of Pittsburg,
were making an estimate of loss, Mr.. Brown
said, without seeing the ruins. he felt safe in
saving that 1000 would put the Cambria
Iron Works in good shape and very probably
much less. Much of the machinery is of q
powerful character and would not be injured
further than by dirt and rust, and it could be
readily cleaned. The open-hearth steel fur
uaces would be destroyed and they are expen-
siye. but the buildings of iron works, generally,
are not expensive, most of them being mere
sheds.
Mr.. Harper stated: that while the loss in
dwellings would be necessarily heavy. it would
not be nearly so much as most people suppose.
Very few tenement houses about iron works
cost s., 900 and most of them considerably less.
OF many of the better class houses the walls
will be found intact and capable of repair.
Considering the size of the place there were
not a great many very fine houses in Johns
town, the bulk of the population being COM
posed of people of moderate means
1t is possible that the Johnstown of the future
will be much finer than that of the past. Aside
from loss of life which cannot be estimated by
humanity great fires have frequently been the
means of making fine cities, the case of Chi
cago being a notable instance. In Johnstown
one thing is certain-the town will not be
rebuilt in hole so as to be drowned by future
floods.

A REMARKA ABLE TRIP.

PostofIice Inspector Caraway Has an Ex.
perience in Fulton Connty-He Is Not
Anxious TO Have il Repeated-so He
Says.
Postofice Inspector Caraway. who arrived at
his Pittsburg home yesterday, tells remarka-
BILE story of trip he made In Fulton county
during the prevalence of the flood.
He started to drive from point on the rail-
road to Everett on Thursday afternoon, just
before the storm, and drove all night. The
next day, he says, he found himself far away
from human habitation, in the widest coun-
try to be found in the State. and surrounded
by water on every hand. Several times his
team plunged into streams that were many feet
deep and he was compelled to jump out of his
buggy and swim, holding on to the reins until
the horses would swim to place where the
alter was shallow enough for them to walk.
AS he crossed bridge over Shafer's Creek,
the bridge gave way and was swept down by the
flood leaving him in the midst of rapid stream
200 yards WIDE. AS he was swimming behind
his team out of this place one of the horses
gave out and it was only after great effort
that the inspector got him into shallow water
and saved him from drowning.
The Inspector was two days in covering 81
miles which he expected to cover in one day,
and he saws that in that time he faced death
half dozen times. He has not yet recovered
from the wetting he received, and he is suffer
ing from severe cold.

safely stated that some of the most dangerous

heads of many well-known bad characters were
seen at the various windows in the cars.

SANITARY REGULATIONS.

Entire Force ut Johnstown, and Nothing
Doing or to be Done Here.
Thomas W. Baker, Superintendent of the
Bureau of Health, and every sanitary inspector
connected with the force, have gone to Johns
town and will remain there for few days,
experimenting the sanitary arrangements. Un-
til the officials of the State Board of Health
arrive on the ground, the Pittsburg officers will
have charge of the WORK.
Dr. ]. 6. McCandless physician to the
Bureau of Health, said yesterday afternoon
that there was nothing being done in Pittsburg
because there is nothing to be done. There is
little tear of trouble at Pittsburg, in DR.. Nc
Candless' opinion, from the decomposing
bodies. The greatest pollution of the waters
was when the flood cleaned out the great ex-
tent of territory over which it flowed. That
water has already passed Pittsburg and can do
no more damage here.

A Boy Bereft of All His Loved Ones Finds
a Place in a Widows Heart.
A gentleman OF the East End. who spent
Saturday and Sunday at Johnstown tells the
following, which came under his own observa-
ton;
A lad who was the only survivor of a family
was seen pitifully weeping over the death of
father, mother, brothers and sisters. None
who saw him could keep down the tears. The
boy refused to be comforted. Life had lost its
charm, and his heart was utterly desolate.
While many were trying in vain to comfort the
poor boy there came along lady who had been
bereft of children and husband. and she too
was left alone in the world. She took the boy
by the hand. and said: MY poor boy come
with me and take the place of my lost ones"
And the orphaned boy took the widowed and
childless mother by the hand and seemed at
once comforted. The two broken-hearted
ones appeared to find comfort in one another,
being brought together by common sorrow.
