THE FIRE BOAT QUESTION.

The criticisms of the fire boat project,
which are offered by river men, have the
force that must be attached to utterances by
men with thorough knowledge of at least
one part Of their subject, namely, the navi-
cation around our river front. But, at the
same time, it is possible that there are some
parts of the matter on which they are not
qualified to speak eT cdthedrd.
1t is certainly to be taken for granted that
fire boat of such deep draft as those which
guard the fronts of other cities would not be
of use in our shallow rivers. But is it GER
tain that boat cannot be built on hull of
light draft, but carrying engines of power
enough to be of great advantage in fires
near the river. One or two hundred tons OF
machinery located on the water might be
made to exert great pumping power, equal
to several of the ordinary engines; and it
ought to be possible to mount that load on
hull that could reach every part Of the river
front on ordinary water.
OF course if fire boat cannot be made
serviceable the money should not be spent
on it; but be fore wholly condemning the
project it is worth while to be sure that it
cannot be successfully adapted to our pc
culiar conditions.

sEEpARD,s REMARKARLE Act

The outbreak of Colonel Elliot F. Shep-
ard in the matter of the Johnstown relief
fund, yesterday, is an example of the indis-
cretions which can be committed by man
who is controlled with desire to pose as an
! example of piety and generosity, and has
more money than brains to do it with.
Besides the exploitation of DR.. peale's
undoubte6 labors in behalf Of the stricken
people Of Johnstown, and the remarkable
achievements of the Mail and Express in
sending relief there, the chief point of the
letter is an Indictment of the State Relief
Commission for having, as il is alleged in
the letter, $4,000, 900 of relief funds lying
idle in bank. There may have been, as THE
DISPATCH has pointed out heretofore,
grounds for criticising the delays In distrib-
uting the relief funds. But it is we'll to keep
within speaking distance of the facts; and as
the Relief Commission has neither two mill
ion, one million or half million lying idle,
the bolt Of the good Colonel flies very wide
of the mark. Besides which the fact that the
New York Mail and Express, six months after
the disaster, has an unappropriated balance
lying idle from the money sent it by the
charitable people of New York, out of
which to make personal gifts, may probably
furnish some explanation of the time con-
sumed by the State Relief Commission in
getting in the money from such sources, ex-
amining the cases of destitution, and dis
tributing the funds.
This remarkable feature is more than
rivaled by the assumption of authority to
make tolerably rich gift to single person
out of funds contributed to relieve suffering.
We are ready to concede all the praise of
Rev. DR.. Beale conveyed in the letter pub
lIshed; but we're there no others in Johns
town who labored for the good of the suffer-
ers? If we remember right, there were
hundreds of Pittsburgers who gave up their
time and encountered privation and sickness
to further the work; yet to have given them
a gift of a Thousand dollars each out of the
Pittsburg relief fund to recompense them
for their efforts would have been rightly
condemned as a betrayal of trust The
funds we're contributed for the relief of the
destitute sufferers, and il is difficult to find
in Colonel Shepard's letter any evidence
that the recipient of that "a. 900 comes under
that class.
Colonel Shepard is well able to give DR..
Beale 5000 out OF his own pocket, and,
had he done so, no one could have done
otherwise than applaud the act; but when
he takes the money out of the relief fund,
it only affords another remarkable example
of the very hazy ideas that rich men some
times show in dealing with public trusts.

Mr.. GOWEN's DEATH.

The suicide of Franklin B. Gowen, at
Washington yesterday, carries a shock not
only to the wide circle of that gentleman g
personal acquaintances, but to the thousands
who knew and admired his high reputation
for business ability, and outspoken opposi-
tiOn to all forms of dishonesty in public
affairs.
What could have been the cause which
impelled him to end his own life, is, at this
writing, wholly unknown. Business
troubles he is supposed to have freed him
self from, since his retirement from the
Reading Railroad years ago; scandal has
never soiled his reputation and private
misrOrtunes of a..character to suggest such an
act have not been heard of in connection
with his name. 1t is impossible to suggest
any theory for his suicide except that of
temporary insanity, induced perhaps by
life of active and constant work.
Whatever the cause of his death, it must
be conceded that in losing Mr.. Gowen
Pennsylvania loses one Of her best and
brightest public characters. In his career
as President of the Reading Railroad Mr..
Covers policy was not free from the usual
corporate vices; but his fierce opposition to
political dishonesty and his active work
against Determinations ard trusts have more
than compensated for his errors in corporate
management. All Pennsylvania will Join
