The calamity which visited the oil coun-
try cities yesterday morning proves that
the horrors of food and fire were not eX-
hausted by the Johnstown disaster While
the destruction of life and property does
not appear to have been so crushingly
wholesale as in the case of the Conemaugh
floods, the fearful combination of flood
with fire was even more terrifying in its
aspects.
At Titusville, as at Johnstown, there
was the original feature of cloudIsurst
over the section drained by the stream
passing through the city. The bursting of
a dam which added to the force of the cur
rent sweeping through the flooded sec
tion was also a repetition on somewhat
smaller scale. But in the explosion of oil
tanks at the height of the food, and the
conversion of that torrent into sweeping
stream of unquenchable fire, which was
carried down TO Oil City and repeated there
its work of devastation, the Oil region
calamity presents horror which is
unrivaled and peculiarly its own. The
condition of the victims first called upon
20 struggle against the ravages of flood
and then overwhelmed by the awful doom
of a tcrrent of burning oil beggars COM
mentarv. 1t constitutes one of those dis
aste-s before which humanity can only
stand mute and awe-stricken for breath
ing space before awakening to active SYM
patty and relief for the survivors of the
calamity.
The special kilograms to THE DISPATCH
10 f,,n af fha 10
ton which commenced about midnight
and continued its work until late yester-
day Ii shows an awful loss of life and
crushing destruction of property. 1t is
tCo soon to expect an accurate statement
of the loss of life in Oil City, Titusville
and the country along Oil creek. But the
fact that an awful blow has been inflicted
on that thriving district is fully reported
in all its narrowing details.
Of course, in the presence of such dis
aster the sympathy of the public will be
IS prompt and adequate as i'll the case Of
Johnstown. So large sum will not be
needed for relief, but the necessity for
prompt aid is no less pressing. Pittsburg
is too closely connected with the stricken
towns not 10 be swift with its helping
hand to the sufferers who have been sud-
denly stricken by bereavement and the
destruction of property. While the total
sum required may not be so large as was
raised for the JohnStOwn sufferers OF the
first news of that calamity, the organiza-
ton of relief for the oil country towns
must be not less prompt and energetic.
The lesson of such disasters as this, the
appalling details of which are spread be-
fore our readers this morning, is the i'm
pressive one that we can never foretell the
quarter whence the agencies of death and
destruction may come. That awful moral
conveys more instruction than could be
gwen in volume of sermons.

THE MANUFACTURERS SCALE.

In its local columns this morning THE
DISPATCH publishes exclusively the lead
ing points of the scale which has been
drawn up by the iron manufacturers CON-
mIttee for presentation to the Amalgam-
ated Association. The importance of
the intelligence secured thus early will be
made clear by an examination of the prop
osition, showing a reduction averaging
about 20 per cent on the important items,
with special clauses in which even a
greater reduction is asked
The information is also to the effect
that the manufacturers are fully deter
mined to stand by this proposition; but
past experience will dispose the public to
take this announcement of belligerent in :
tentions with a grain of salt No one
doubts, of course, that the serious attempt
to enforce such reduction of wages must
produce long and stubborn conflict; but
the fears of stoppage of work in the
mills will not be very active. PittSburg
has from past experience become accus-
toned 70 hearing that the employers
will take nothing but a ten or twenty per
cent ntreduction, and subsequently noting the
unanimity with which those gentlemen,
while vowing that they would never con-
sent, did consent to the old scale, and
made very good year of it after ALL
There may be at present little more
than the usual disposition to try to force
a reduction; but the month that is to
intervene before the settlement of the
question will probably convince all parties
that the question can be settled harmon
iously.
There is one especial reason who both
parties, and especially the manufacturers,
will recognize that the wages scale cannot
he made the subject Of conflict this year
When the scale question comes up, the
lines will just have been drawn for a
National campaign in which the tariff will
be the principal issue. No city in the
country is more interested in the mainte-
nance of protection than PIttsburg, and no
interest in the city has a more direct con-
Germ in its success than the iron and steel
interest The protection policy is avow-
edly based on the argument of upholding
the wages of American labor; and it has
been advocated through two campaigns
on the distinct pledge that the pres

A PLAN OF COMPROMISE

Proposed by John Dillon to Lessen the
Tension Betw sen Irish Factions.
LONDON, June5-A meeting of the National
League was held at Bradford to-day, at
which John Dillon delivered an address.
Mr. Dillon said that as all hope
of affecting reunion of the Irish
factions before the elections had been
abandoned, it had been proposed that
a board of arbitration be established. con-
sisting of men like Archbishop Croke, the
Lord Mayor o. Dublin and some influential
America who woud be glad to come to
England for that purpose, to ascer-
tain the relative strength of the two fac
tions in each Irish constituency.
The plan was that the two delegates of
each party should be examined, and the Nc
Carthyites would not contest any district
where the Parnellites had fair chance Of
winning. In this way thew would uvOid con-
tests that we're likely to have terrible re-
suits in the present state OF party icsling.

MR.. BLAINE'S RETIREMENT.
Blaine Honorable and Conscientious.

New York Advertiser Qnd).).
MI. Blaine's attitude has been that Of an
honorable, conscientious man. He did not
seek the Presidency, and he has not been n
candidate, in the sense of seeking, since he
wrote his letter of declination in February.
The situation having changed, and the party
through its representa- tives, having shown
a decided disposition to place him at the
front in the present campaign, he had moth
ing to do brt tacitly consent. To remain
longer in the Cabinet was embarrassing, and
Mr. Blaine has simplifed matters by man
fully resigning. His action-forced as it was
by the bitterly hostile followers of Mr.. Har-
rison-will bring to him the active support
and sympathy of thousands who were yes
terday lukewarm. 1t is q notice served
upon the representatives of the Republican
party in Minneapolis that he is ready and
willing to accept nomination If conferred.
We regard this resignation as the one thing
necessary to inspire the men who are assem-
bled to choose a leader for the Republican
party. 1t is a message of defiance to Harri-
son and his supporters. Let Minneapolis
read it in its true Significance and the prob
lem is solved. 1t will be Blaine.

mitted of nothing but the baldest formality.

New York Press. (Rep.).
Mr.. Blaine's resignation from President

grave responsibility of tho Republican rep
resentatives at Minneapolis. The situation
which confronts them demands the exercise
Of prudence and firmness Moderation in

The Greatest Am .rican Citizen.

Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.).
The resignation of Secretary Blaine from
President Harrisons Cabinet removes the
last yestige of doubt that he is q candi-
date for the nomination. He is candidate,
and 1t Is not improbable that he will be the
nominee of the convention before this week
closes. The reports from Minneapolis in
dictate state of enthusiasm unparalleled.
Mr.. Blaine is to day the foremost American
citizen. He has the hearts of the people as
few men have had since Washington. The
enthusiasm for him is not even bounded by
party lines. His work in Congress and in
the Cabinet has stamped him "a the greatest
American citizen of his times. His policy
of reciprocity has marked him the foremost
statesman of his times. Every GOOD Amer
lean citizen rel oices that the nation mas had
the services OF the ahlest man, and there
will he Democrats by the tens of thousands
to vote for him this fall in the not improb-
able event of his nomination. Mr.. Blaine
has taken dignified course in leaving the
Cabinet.
