The disaster at Titusvllle and Oil City re-
calls to every mind tho destruction Of Johns

three years ago. Tho loss OF life was far
greater at Johnstown but In its combination
OF the terrors OF flood and fire. simultaneously
assaiing and enwrapping the doomed towns.
tho Inter disaster Is more startling to the i'm
agination than was its terrible predecessor.
At Johnstown 1t was the incredible extent Of
tho calamity. when many thousands OF human
beings woro believed to hnvo been swept away
to death almost before the alarm OF approach.
ing danger had reached their ears. that
first stunned every reader. and then called
forth display OF popular sympathy and gen.
crosby which warmed the heart OF the whole
country.
At Titusvlle and Oil City tho list OF tho dead,
although very large. is measured not by thou
sands. but by hundreds. bat the scene OF
destruction and death was moro fearful In tho
unearthly circumstances Of the fro riding
upon the flood. and spreading second devas-
tation over the track OF the FIRST The Garth
and tho air were alike held by tho emissares
OF death. and there was no escape for the i'm
prisoned victims In any direction.
1t is poor consolation to feel that there will
be an immediate and sufficient response to
the call for aid which has already been heard
from the stricken towns but 30 long as men
continue to contend for tho mastery with the
powers OF nature similar disasters will occur.
and similar proofs OF the sympathy which
makes all men brothers at heart will be de-
manded again and again.

Our readers were doubtless struck by the
cable despatch In yesterdays Sun about the
sermon that was preached In London on Sun
day by the Rev. DIR. PARKER 1t appears that
this able English preacher took occasion to
speak OF the debasement OF English politi-
clans. and went 30 far as to say from his pulpit
that while he believed 1t possible for apcrson
to be both politician and gentleman. the
supposition was the soverest strain that could
be put upon human faith" Truly this is a
sweeping allegation. and We mood say nothing
else about 1t Just now.
But PARKER could not possibly speak in that
way about the great politicians who have
figured In this country ever since the estab-
lishment OF American independence. GEORGE
WATERMELON. for example, was both poll
ucian and gentleman. very shrewd poll
tician and as perfect a gentleman as ever
lived; while not more than two OF his success
sors In the Presidency have been lacking In
any OF those qualities that properly belong to
the gentlomanly type of human nature. Tho
able politicians OF his time. and the other able
politicians who have figured from that time to
this-almost all OF thom who have commanded
public esteem-must be ranked high among
gentlemen. and worthily so ranked. We find
gentlemen in both Houses OF Congress. pol
lshsd end honorable. In tho State QtlOes and
