Floods Of the Future.

The COnemaugh valley disaster must
not be viewed simply as a calamity.
II is warning When boats navigate
Pennsylvania avenue in Washington
and carp invade the houses Of that
city we see the shadows OF coming
eTents-sOmething even more worse
than the JOhnstOwn horror. We have
more than once pointed out in these
columns the probable consequences Of
the floods that will visit this country
in the future. The destruction OF our
forests will make the cloud-burst as
familiar to US as the tornado is 10 the
jewellers on our western plains. Won
Bebber, in his work on "The Influence
Of Forest Growth on Climate says:
The old experience, that tie destruc-
ton of woods accentuates climatic eI-
tremes and more especially enhances
the danger of floods, has not thus far
been contradicted Nay, it receives
calamitous confirmation in the disas-
tiers which, in the south Tyrol, for ex-
ample, recur 50 frequently and which
it is vainly sought to prevent by arti-
fetal works. Il is enough
to say that a century hence, when the
intelligent American OF the day takes
a glance backward, he will bitterly
denounce our criminal waste and ne
glect in the matter of forestry, and it
will be a mystery ia his eyes that We
allowed so many warnings to pass I'M
needed and rushed on 10 our DOOM, -

The big fire in Boston Yesterday calls atten

The big fire in Boston yesterday calls atten
ton once more TO the need of fre-proof build
ings in the more thickly settled parts of every
commercial city. 1t will not do to be content
with merely so-called fre-proof provisions.
They must be the real thing. The building
laws ought to be distinct beyond the possibility
of misinterpretation and enforced with the
utmost rigOr. These precautions are not sug-
gested simply for the benefit of the individual,
but for the protection of the community.
Damage from fire scarcely ever is confined to
the building in which it breaks out Even if
nothing worse happens, the falling of walls
upon adjoining houses, the play of the flames
out OF the windows the burning brands sent
toward the sky and carried this way and that
by air-currents. spread mischief which money
will hardly undo. How much worse is
it when, meeting no effective barrier to their
progress, the flames pass from house to house
and sweep an entire quarter of business build
ings to the ground! Ninety-nine proprietors
of the hundred who suffer may have taken all
the pains in the world to prevent accident, and
kept careful servants on guard day and night;
but the hundredth, by slovenly oversight or
the neglect of some essential condition of
safety, causes heavy loss to them all. Yester-
days Boston fire did only small fraction of
the injury done by its predecessor of 1872. A
part of it was on the same site; and, as the
present buildings were far superior to those
which stood there before, the damage done
bore q considerably larger ratio to
the area RACED. 1t will cause no
grievous Distress The insurance companies
will be the heaviest losers by this last Wis
itation, and some of the weaker ones may
be crippled for a time; but the bulk of the
risks were carried by rich corporations, and
insurers will probably get dollar for dollar
of the face of their policies. There is ground
for thankfulness that we shall witness no cases
of individual suffering through families being
turned into the streets during the bitter cold
weather.

Every water-taker of the city is paying and
will pay, unless relieved by legislation, an
nual contribution nominally for the increase Of
the water supply, but really to assist the
national government to meet losses caused
solely by the negligence of the government
through its agents. For. the current year the
water-takers will pay in the neighborhood of
a hundred thousand dollars upon the millions
which the United States sunk in the hole in the
ground, known the tunnel. When all the
losses of the United States on this account have
been met the local water-takers will
have dropped into the national hat as a
gratuity between one and two millions of dol
lars. The contribution will not. however, be
voluntary like those ordinarily dropped into
the beggar's hat. This large sum. if paid by
the water-takers, will be extorted from them
by the nation through an abuse of the posses
sion Of superior force. But whether the nation
is to figure as a robber or a beggar the result
will be the same to the unhappy water-takers.
They will pay in the neighborhood of two
million dollars and receive nothing in return.
They will be punished for blunder not COM
mitted by themselves, and for a crime of which
they are not in the remotest degree guilty.
OF course the water-takers will not submit
without protest or attempt at escape TO this
exaction- 1t is not believed that members of
Congress will, when the facts are properly
presented to them, permit such gross injustice
to be done. The people of the District will I'M
doubtedly make an organized effort to secure
the legislation necessary to furnish relief. Tn E
STAR views this matter affecting the
material interests of nearly every individual in
the community, and as involving a fragrant
wrong and it will make the fight of the water
takers its own. cooperating heartily with
organized movements by citizens and such
action may be suitable on the part of the
Commissioners, until the evil has been rem
edied
