THE attitude of the Tribune in relation
to the question of county division is, in
some of its phases, dogmatic and impu-
dent. When it says that the people this
side of the proposed new county line
have no right whatever to NEEDLE in the
discussion, it assums position which no
independent or sensible man will sub
scribe to. We would like to know why
the Tribune has so much to say on the
subject if discussion is not permissible to
people outside the proposed new county ?
That paper says that it is a
strictly local question, one that should
be settled by the people of the proposed
county themselves, and that a citizen of
this part of the county who opposes
division must do 80 on selfish grounds
alone. Exactly. Every taxpayer in the
county has an interest in the question ;
and having an interest, has the right to
discuss the subject of division. If divis-
ion is going to make-as it assuredly
will-taxes here as we'll as in the new
county more burdensome than they now
are, why should any one be excluded
from the discussion? This is kind OF
attempt at muzzling free speech which
will not go down with anybody. The
HERALD will see the new county 60 away
with regret, and has opposed separation
with reasons it considered sound. As to its
right to present these reasons, it permits
nobody to call it in question.

Relief for the Johnstown suffers

Relief for the JOhnstOWn sufferers.
A committee of one from each ward,
designated by the members of the Coun-
Gil, yesterday, at the suggestion OF the
Mayor, will meet in the Council chamber
this morning at 9 o'clock, for the purpose
of organizing plan for securing contri-
buttons to send on for the relief of the
Johnstown sufferers. Col. Dunkelberger,
who is q member of the committee,
makes suggestion which is worthy of
consideration. 1t is that a carload CT
fruit be cent on to one of the Eastern
cities, there to be cold at auction, the
money realized to 60 to the relief fund.
The Committee will doubtless make ar
engagements to canvass the city for money
contributions, and we have no doubt
very considerable sum will be raised.
The sweeping extent of the calamity on
the banks of the Conemaugh has never
been paralleled in this country. The
more we hear from there the worse it
becomes. Indeed, the full measure of
the loss of life may not be ascertained for
O number OF days. The loss OF property
is more easily ascertained from the
very fact that the flood made a clean
sweep of everything in its path. Those
who escaped from the liquid avalanche
are reduced to penury. Whole commu-
mites have lost everything they had in
the world, and unless tie survivors re-
ceive immediate aid there will be great
physical suffering amongst them. Every
city in the Union will come to their aid.
OF course much will be derived from
these sources, but much will be re-
quired, and Los Angeles will gladly con-
tribute her quota to help to assuage the
eufferipgs of the victims of this most
terrible calamity.
