THE appalling catastrophe in the on
creek valley is the greatest disaster in
this country since the Johnstown Hood
of three years ago. By cloud burst
above Titusville on Sunday the already
swollen small creeks were changed to tor
rents and by the explosion of tank OF
gasoline the oil covered waters were
turned into a sea of fire and carried death
and devastation with swiftness that
deiied human efforts to escape. From
Titusville the flood and flames passed on
to Oil City where they left trail OF de
struction that it will take years to OBJ
literate. Fully one hundred and fifty
lives were lost and the loss of property Il
estimated at nearly s2,00o,Ooo,

Horribly Muiilated.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, June = While
County Surveyor Charles w. Wentzel'
who had charge of an attraction known
as a sham battle at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon, was engaged IN
loading one of the large cannons, an ex-
plosion occurred and Wentzel received
the force of the discharge. HIS abdomen
was ripped open and the intestines drop
ped on the grass. Part of his face was
blown off, an arm mutllated, and one
side of the body badly scorched. He
lived only few minutes. The belief Is
that either the cannon was still hot from
the previous discharge, or a bit of the
burning cotton waste was in the cannon,
which cuased the discharge.

THE Pension bill, says the Phladel-
phia Herald, comes back from the Sen
ate with 81 900, 600 added othe liberal
amount allowed by the House, bringing
the total for the next year up to the I'M
r,ense figure of S147, 900, 900. When
in 1873 General Garfield reported a pen
sion bill to the House amounting to ST.
OOO, 900, he excused its large proportions
and allayed the apprehension arising
from such formidable disbursement
for such a purpose, by saying that 1t
could not get much larger; that perhaps
il might reach $50, 900, 900, after which
it would decline. But now we see
pension bill more than five times as
large as the one about which Garfield
thought it necessary to make excuses,
and the probability is thatit Will increase
as time goes on, instead of diminishing.
Both: politica9l parties are tobeblamed
for this enormous expenditure, which IN
time of profound peace fastens upon the
| taxpavers of the country an expense
greater than standing army of 500, 900
imposes upon the German Empire This
pension business has been gotten hold
of by politicians and worked for the
votes that are in it. 1t hasn't been Sc
much a love for the veterans or gratitude
for the services they rendered that ha
led to the extension Of pensions, bu
every additional pension bill, enlargin
the number interested in this form G
government largess, has been a bid to
more votes by the party passing it. \
, this thing is limited only by the deslI
of party managers to gain votes, there
| no telling where it will end,

THE Democratic party carried New
York in 1876 and 1854, when there
were lust as many men going about de-
claring that Tilden or Cleveland could
not carry that state as there are now.
When the party has been thoroughly
frightened by this sort of talk it has
won. The Democrats were comparative
" unit in 1855, and failed to win.
Cleveland is much stronger in New York
than he was in 1884, when we had the
same opposition that there is now with
the Butler detection in addition.

THE Republican convention met on
Tuesday and mp to this time CIhursday
afternoon) has made no nomination.
1t is evidently the intention of the leaders
of the party to defeat the nomination OF
Harrison. and this they can accomplish
by playing a waiting game. The South
ern delegates are generally colored citizens
who have been appointed to office and
are all in favor of Harrison. Former
Republican conventions hawever, have
| demonstrated the fact that the colored
! delegates from heSouth are an impecun-
! ious lot and easily purchased.
The longer the convention lasts the
harder it will be for President Harrison
friends to hold his southern delegates
The longer the convention lasts the
cheaper will be the market and at the
end of a week Harrison's southern dele
gates will be getting uneasy, dead rlp'
as it were, and will be disposed of IN ca
load lots. When this comes to pass TN
, Doodle statesmen will step in and grand
fathers hat will be heard of no more

Ok Saturday Secretary of State James
G. Blaine rendered his resignation OF
the office to his chief, President Harri-
son, in short, curt note. President
Harrison Immediately accepted it in a
note lust as short and curt, which read
between the lines seemed to say ''don't
care a dern if you do" Mr. Blaine has
been playing the hypocrite with his chief
for the last six months, and the near ap-
proach of the Minneapolis convention
made it necessary to at last show his
hand.
