AID FOR SUFFERERS,

Generous Responses to the Needs of
Pennsylvania Flood Sufferers. ~.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Reports from all
the large cities of the country show that
generous citizens are actively engaged
in gathering contributions to be sent to
the flood sufferers. Over 100000 were
raised in few minutes after receipt of
the news of the great disaster. Benefit
performances will be given at all the
theatres. Governor Hill has issued q
proclamation calling for contributions.
The Pennsylvania railway voted $685.
600 to the relief of the sufferers.
Chicago raised 100000 and will IN
doubtedly make it much more.
Pittsburg has sent several train loads
of supplies to the scene, and is caring
for all the refugees as fast as they arrive
there.
The American Express company has
instructed all their offices to receive
supplies or money and transport them
free. This is an important move, as it
opens in nearly every town in the coun-
try subscription Office for>the sufferers.
An impromptu benefit entertainment
was held at Minneapolis Tuesday even
ing, which melted $?l5 for the sufferers.
Both of the Twin Cities are doing noble
work in contributing.

Whore the Flood Came From.

GREENsBURG, Pa, June 3.-The reser-
voir was situated about eighteen miles
northeast of Jamestown, on the site Of
the old reservoir that was one of the
feeders of the Pennsylvania canal. 1t is
the property or a number of wealthy
Pittsburg men, who constitute the South
Fork Fishing and Hunting club. The
sheet of water was formerly known as
ConemauGh lake. 1t is from 200 to 800
feet above the level of Johnstown and is
three and a half miles long by one to one
and quarter miles wide. and in some
places is 100 feet deep. It is the largest
reservoir in the United States.

to lynch him that the sheriff fired on
the crowd with such disastrous cOnse-

him for n murderer. The picture of

Cityite

CUMBERLAND, Mp, April II, 1889.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
1t is to be hoped that the "street
railway company" Just organized here
will take shape as a cable-car line,
taking in our principal streets and
reaching out to Dilley's Grove, beyond
to the camp-ground. and go us far. in
fact. as Eckhart and Frostburg. With
such line intercourse between our cities
would be doubled. and our mutual plea
sure and profit equally enhanced. The
time between the two places could not
be much over an hour, and with car
running at least every hour between,
say A. NJ and 10 p. NJ, our popula-
tionS would practically become one.
Such a line could also carry light
freight, and take it right to the doors
of your Main street stores AS far up as
Broadway. \ citizen of one place
could leave for the other almost any
hour Of the day and return when he
peascs. He would not be compelled
to either wait or hurry. But let your
people and our people think Of the
saving in the cost of traffic and freight
out of what is paid now for IA service
that can accommodate passengers and
freight only twice day. With fares
and frelghts reduced one-half | have
no hesitation in saying there would be
more than double the travel. Instead
of taking the green groceries that we
leave unbought. the people of Frost
burg could meet us in our markets on
equal footing and be at home nearly
as soon as we to ours, and Gf we have
to walk, as many do,) with less fatigue.
As a citizen of Cumberland. inter
ested in both towns, ] do hope the
county commissioners will give the
cablc-car line the right of way along
the right side of the National Road.
What better use could Il portion of the
old highway be put to? The company
that will undertake to build such line
will be entitled to the right of way
asked for, because there is no improve
ment ever spoken of III this county
that means SO much to so many people.
What crowds from both ends would
meet in the woods in camp-meeting
season! How we would picnic to-
gether, going and coming each way as
we felt disposed.
but, will it pay9" some will ask.
Pay Well should think so. Does it
pay the railroads to run trains at q eat
er expenses ? The fact that they are
running means nothing if not pay.
A cheaper means of travel would, |
believe, make more clear money than
the railroads. We hope down here
that your people vii. give this enter
prise big lift of encouragement. 1t
will stir up more business for tue two
towns than anything that has ever been
spoken of. QUEEN CITY.

visit to the dental Office of DR.. I. p.
Garfield, Main street, revealed one of
the most thoroughly equipped Offices
of the kind it has been our pleasure to
visit for long time. The operat-
ing chair, recently constructed by the
:. S. White dental manufacturing
company, of Philadelphia, is one Of
the most unique and convenient chairs
now known to the dental profession.
1t is cast iron frame, handsomely
iapanncd, with niokcl-platcd mount
ings. The complicated machinery is
so arranged that the operator can adj
just the chair to suit any position the
patient may assume. The cushions
for seat, back and head-rest are of fine
plush. This chair with the attach
ments costs the doctor $2lS, and, judg-
ing from the style, beauty of finish,
ETC., il was not an eXOrbitant price.

THE new Town Council holds its first
meeting Monday evening next, at
which it will select the working force
for next year.
The Journal hopes that no member,
old or new, will feel bound by any
promise he may have made to individ-
uals as against his sworn obligations
to give good government and reliable
protection to the community.
All piecrust and many promises are
made to be broken, and an old adagc
makes IA virtue of ingratitude if the
devil be the beneficiary.
So that if any member has for any
reason pledged himself to an unworthy
unreliable, unsafe applicant for place,
he should not hesitate to vote for who
ever is in his Soundest Judgment the

titled Noah Webster, the School

object in the picture is copy of the
latest edition Of the Unabridged,
against the open page of which lies a
fac-simile sheet of Dr. Webster's manu-
script, against which in turn appears
a fine likeness of him. In the fore
ground ale an ink-well and other desk
accessories, in exact imitation of those
used by Dir. Webster. The Compen-
dious Dictionary of 1906, and the "Old
Blue Back Spelling Book" are also
appropriately placed. The frame
which the Messrs. Conrad have placed
around the JOURNALS copy sets it off
handsomely enough to become an in
teresting object in any collection of il
Illustrations.

''NoX POPUII' contends that "the
cart has gotten before the horse III
municipal government--that the bal
lift and policeman are the masters not
the Mayor and Councilmcn.
If this be true. it only goes to show
what kind of timber we have been put
ting in the Council.
The elective system, therefore, furn-
ishes no guarantee whatever that pop
ular suffrage will furnish us policemen
of any bigger calibre than it has been
giving us of Mayors and Councllmcn.
But "NOX Populi'' either does not
know or he forgets that when the peo-
pie elect the policemen, the Mayor and
Council. no matter how big and wise
and good. will have lost control of the
police power of the town. Under the
present arrangement an ordinance pro-
vides that
The bdilif, or any other police officer, may
be dismissed at any time by The Mayor and
Council, etc.
Now, unless the JOURNAL be greatly
in error, when the people have elected
a policeman he will be independent o.
the Council-a servant Of the people
who may live out his term in spite of
acts of omission or commission. I'm
der the current regime he may be dis
missed at any timc," and the Mayor
and Council who are afraid to exercise
their prerogatives are unworthy of the
positions they hold. They have it in
their power to keep the police on their
good behavior all the time the people
could do this only once a year.
"Vox Populi' asks the JOURNAL
whether it would for similar reasons
oppose the election of the clerk of the
circuit court ?
In general way the JOURNAL does
not oppose popular elections of any
servants of the public. 1t enjoys more
faith in the wisdom of the people than
"Vox Populi" does. That confidence
is grounded partly in the fact that
whatever weakness fractions of the
people confesscdly show, the whole
body is strong and gritty. TIE area
of large men is thus elevated and
broadened. By the same token the
space occupied by little men contracts
and the political Lilliputians eventu
ally sink out of official, if not popular
sight. The flies who buzz around mu-
nicipal politics and make aspiring
councilmen unhappy do not stay long
on the bigger wheels of the county and
State machinery. They don't bite
where grit rules nor sting where real
ability directs.
