NOTICE.
FRIENDS OF SILVER.

The esteemed Helena Herald and the
esteemed Butte Inter Mountain, bott
republican, from time to time insist that
the republican party is the friend ol
silver and that no other party is &C
friendly to silver as it ia. In sup.
port Of this fiction they never
cite instances of the friendly
disposition of the republican party
towards silver, and invariably omit any
mention of the demonstration Of silver
by the republican congress and repub-
lican administration OF 1878. Their
pretenses Of friendship for the white
metal are hollow, and the Herald and
Inter Mountain know it as we'll as any
body. AS evidence OF the untruthful-
ness of the claim the figures Of the vote
taken Monday in the senate, considered
with those cast in the house August %,
are conclusive. OF the forty-three votes
cast in the senate against silver twenty
three were republican. OF the thirty
two votes in favor of silver but ten were
cast by republicans. or the total vote
on the Voorhees, bill, for and against.
cast by republicans, considerably less
than one-thlrd were friendly to silver.
Less than one-half OF the votes against
silver were cast by democrats and con-
siderably more than one-half of the
votes in favor of silver were cast by
democrats.
In the house the proportion Of repub-
licans unfriendly to silver is larger than
in the senate. When the vote was
taken in that body the republicans cast
125 votes and of this number but
twenty-three we're cast against the
Wilson bill for the unconditional repeal
OF the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman law, less than one-fifth of the
republican membership of the house be-
ing friendly to silver, and more than
four-fifths being unfriendly. In the
house and senate the total vote of the
on the silver question was
1853, and of this entire number hut
thirty-three were in support Of the
white metal.
These figures should forever put
stop to republican professions of friend
ship for silver.

Thh Spring Flood Danger.

The condition for great damage
by the spring floods were never more
complete than at the present time,
and none who have noted with any
watchfulness the extraordinary winter
which has just closed will be sur
prised to read of immense ice gorges,
inundated towns, crushed bridges and
general destruction along the valley
of our principal rivers and their
tributaries. In the northern and
western counties of the State snow
fell nearly or quite four feet during
the winter. The extremely low
temperature created ice of unprece
dented thickness, and the recent heavy
rains have served to melt the snow
and send the water down the hill
sides in torrents. Disastrous floods
could hardly fail to follow, and that
the losses will be unusually heavy is not
to be doubted
The denuding Of the hill and
mountain sides Of their forest has
greatly increased both the danger and
damage of the present spring food.
The snow has been as deep and the
ice as thick and plentiful in former
exceptional years as during the past
winter. But with large proportion
Of the watershed Of our principal rivers
formerly covered with dense forest,
neither the suns rays nor the heaviest
spring rains served to bring the
melting SHOWS out of the mountains
in two or three days time. Under
the old conditions it required weeks
instead of days for these accumulated
waters to find their way into the
rivers.
The lesson is obvious. The re-
manning forest of Pennsylvania should
be preserved, not destroyed, as a
measure of protection from disastrous
floods, If for nothing more. While
the floods are rushing down the river
beds, submerging towns and endanger-
ing life and property, nothing can be
done of preventive nature. Those
endangered must meet the existing
emergency in the best way they can.
But there should be remedial
measures taken by the Legislature
and people combined to lesson the
food danger in the future or at least
to guard against its increase Times.

Righ Water.

The rains and thaw of last Thursday
made sudden rise in the streams in
this section causing some damage. In
the little Fishingcreek the ice breaking
Thursday night, formed a gorge against
the bridge at Mordansville, this made
a rapid rise of the stream and sur
rounded the home Of County Commits
sioner Sands; with difficulty he saved
his stock and property-the COWS were
in the water over their backs; at three
o'clock next morning the gorge broke
and the water at once subsidized. Many
movab e articles as wagons, sleds,
lumber and barns were carried down
the stream. The county bridge was
moved little but no great damage
done. At Eyersgrove several spans Of
the w. & w. Railroad bridge were
carried away, necessitating the transfer
of freight and passengers across the
creek-a train being run on either side
of the creek. In the Susquehanna
river the ice breaking above, came
down by the Bloom ferry at FIVE
o'clock Friday afternoon; the river
rising very rapidly with it. The high
est point the water reached was about
fifteen inches deep on the top of the
banks at the ferry. The ice ceased to
flow to any great amount, Sunday af.
ternoon, and the water had then fallen
about six feet but the warm wind of
the morning had caused the remaining
snow to melt rapidly and the waters
again to rise. This Friday (St. Pat
rick's Day. March 18th. marks the
2Sth anniversary Of the great flood in
the North Branch Of the Susquehanna,
when the water was IS feet above
low water mark.
