TIE WESTERN FLOODS.

Reports from the flooded regions of the West
vary widely as was inevitable, in their est-
mates of the losses already suffered and those
which arc still threatened. But all agree that
this will be notable year in the history OF
inundations Except at Sioux City the loss of
life is remarkably small, considering the enor-
nous territory which has been suddenly over
spread by swollen streams, and at that point
it is believed that the original estimate was
nearer the truth than the startling rumors
which were spread abroad the second day.
At least score of persons are supposed to have
met their death in the flood, and the list may
be increased but happily there is no longer
reason to fear that hundreds have persisted.
At first thought such destruction of human
life seems to be utterly umecompensed, but as
we hear of noble manifestations of heroism and
acts of mercy and think of the compassion and
generosity which are sure to be evoked through
the agency of such an affection, even the harsh
est aspect of the catastrophe is relieved.
At first, too, it seems as if in such cases the
material losses were rroparable, but this *
largely because the devastation is quickly and
yividly described while the subsequent re-
cuperation is gradual and unrecOrdod. Stats
tics of loss are among the most familiar things
in life but the compensations seldom are, or
indeed can be- accurately computed. And vet
they often more than restore the balance Is
pecially is this true of extensive foundations
in flat country, which leave the guarantee of
rich crops behind them. Every year or two
the country is saddened and the markets are
depressed by news of great floods along our
Western rivers. The losses are reckoned in
tens of millions, moving pictures are drawn OF
the misery and despair in which thousands OF
sufferers sit amid their ruins. and general
sense of impending bankruptcy is difused.
But succeeding events refute gloomy auguries,
and the common prosperity is continuous.
Nature repairs her own ravageS and though
the process is noted only by those whom ii
most intimately concerns, and perhaps is only
half appreciated by them the final result may
be found by those who look for it. lndivid
uals and localities doubtless often suffer net
loss, but the general welfare is not infrequent-
ly enhanced by occurrences which seem to
mean nothing but disaster.
These observations are not intended to sig
Nifty want of sympathy for those who are
now in grief and distress because of the West
ern floods, but rather to suggest conSoling re-
Elections And we are sure that the East will
respond with alacrity to any appeal for help
which NAV come from the banks of the Mis-
sissippi and the Missouri.

PLEADING THE BABY ACT

The one State officer whom the Democrats
of Connecticut succeeded in having installed
was the Controller He does not appear 10
have improved the prospects Of his party by
his conduct in Office. Under the advice OF
Democratic counsel he refused to recognize any
body but the Democratic Senate a. having au-
thority; consequently no payments could be
made to carry on the various departments and
keep the machinery Of government running
The purpose was obvious enough. Ii was to
extend the legislative deadlock, and by bring
inc everything TO a standsii compel the Re
publican House Of Representatives 10 yield 10
the Democratic SENATE IN declaring all the
Democratic candidates elected from Governor
down without any inquiry into the facts or in
yestieaton of the report Of the Board Of Can
yassers. Fortunately the Republican Gov
ernor, holding over under the law, was equal TO
the emergency, and provided the means for
carrying on the government.
At the end of tedious litigation on the sub
iect Controller Staub has learned that his OBJ
structive methods were illegal and that he has
exceeded his authority. He now has TO take
the back track recognize the authorities he
dched, and consent TO discharge the official
functions with which the law clothes him. II
is naturally a little Notifying. We observe.
however, that some OF the Democratic news
papers of the State are trying TO relieve him
of responsibility by pleading the baby act.
They say it is not his fault that he was in a
responsible and delicate position. and with
desire TO exercise the utmost care he consulted
counsel in whom he and his party had conf
dence and that the mistakes he has made have
been due to their advice, not to any fault Of
his own They also intimate that he deserves
great credit for obcyng at once the mandate
Of the Supreme Court. " 1t was not a desire
to embarrass the State Institutions they say.

but desire to know what was right and legal"
This desire to know what was right and

II had not been frustrated by a Republican
Governor, would have left every State nsitu-
ton without the means for carrying on lis

his own party with absolute knowledge that he
was playing the mischief with the public
business for small partisan end. 1t is all
very well for a laundering blocihead, who has
stumbled into public Office he knows nothing
about. to "deSirc 10 know what is right and
Legal but it is carrying it u little too far when
he stops, or tries t. stop, the whole business
of the State till he can get his orders from the
Supreme Court.

KING GEORGE SUSTAINED

The victory Of the Tricoupis party in the
general election which has just taken place in
Greece will be hailed with satisfaction by all
those who are interested in the welfare of the
Hellenic Kingdom. 1t constitutes, moreover,
a national tribute to the political sagacity and
foresight of King George, whose action in
summarily dismssng NJ. Dclyannis from the
Premiership, notwithstanding his possession at
the time of parliamentary majority, may now
be regarded as having received the indorse-
ment of the country. Had VI. DeIyannis car
red the day at the polls nothing but disaster
could have ensued, and Greece would speedily
have found herself involved in bankruptcy
revolution, and in conflict with one or more
of the foreign Powers King George narrowly
averted these dangers when he dismissed NJ
Delyannis from Office few months ago His
action at the time was bitterly assailed as I'M

A. Austen, the young paymaster Of the
Epson Nut company, was arrested last
night at his home, for embezzlement.
He is accused OF classifying the pay rolls
Of the company during the past three
years. Austen confesses to having ia
ken $4,000, and the total amount will
probably prove to be greater. High
living and fast horses are the cause Of
his downfall. A few days ago he pur-
chased an interest in the greater racer
Elmonarch, and when arrested he was
preparing to go to Chicago with a
heavy sum Of money in his pocket to
bet on the races there.
