Put the Blame Where 1t Belongs.

1t is pleasing to note that there is
among sensible clergymen refusal to
subscribe to the idea that the Cone
maugh valley flood was visitation of
Col for some wise purpose. Only
those who would bring religion into
contempt, would indulge in such rant.
It would be useless. 1t would be use.
less to try and convince rational beings
that in that peaceful valley, peopled by
thrifty and law abiding inhabitants,
there was such a carnival of sin as
invited the wrath of the Almighty.
Neither will the minds of men accept
the doctrine that any possible lesson
in morals or mans duty to his Maker
to be learned by that awful disaste
could compensate for the destruction
of the lives of thousands of innocent
children, godly women and honest men.
Let the blame be placed where it be-
longs. An insecure dam, maintained,
despite its menace to life and property
by club of Pittsburg millionaires,
was alone the cause. Those sports
men, by their selfshness and thought
lessness, brought death, ruin, and desc
latlon to the Conemaugh Valley.-N.

Forty-Two Stars Not Legal.

Although the Navy Department has
issued an order to the effect that here
after all flags made for the navy shall
contain forty two stars, request from
the Assistant Treasurer at New York
for flag of this description has been
refused by the Treasury Department.
The officials of the Revenue Marine
Bureau. which distributes flags to the
custom houses, revenue marine boats,
ETC., hold that flag with forty.two
stars is not legal flag, and will not be
until the next Fourth of July. The
law says: "On the admission of new
State into the Union one star shall be
added to the union of the flag, and
such addition shall take effect on the
4th day of July next succeeding such
admission" The flags with forty-two
stars are just one year ahead of time.

Commodore Schley, who is to be the
Commander of the new steel cruiser,
"Bsltimorc,' which made its trial sea
trip last week, pronounced that vessel
to be magnificent, and says, "she will
be able to lick anything ahoat.' If we
had thirty or forty such vessels we
would have a navy to be prond of.
The plate printers are jubilant over
the removal Of the steam plate print
ing presses from the Bureau of Engrav-

made by order of Secretary Window,
who declined to allow the Company

compensation of one cent per thousand
impressions as oyalty for the use of
presse', which Congress had provided
for with the exception of course that
the owners would refuse it,
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
dumped on" the telegraph Company
by notifying them that in future the
Government would pay only one mill
per word instead of one cent, as at
present. Representatives of the tele-
graph companies while recognizing the
legal right of the Postmaster General
to say what the compensation shall be
for this work, claim that they lose
money by doing the work for the pres
ent price, and say that if Mr.. Wanama-
ker will not change his mind they will
carry the messages for nothing as it
will be cheaper than to keep the ac.
counts and make the collections at the
rate of one mill per word.
The usual number of ''reformers" in

He was asked: "What is the future

"My own idea is that in few years
we will import no sugar. Not only does
the beet grow to perfection in California,
but it can as easily be grown here in the
Central States, and in Kansas in particu'
lar. Saturday last the few remaining
shares of the $5, 100000 stock company,
