THE PITTSTON DISASTER.

Everything which experience can suggest to
save the lives. if such a possibility exists. or
10 recover the bodies. or at least to ascertain
the fate of the miners buried ut Pittston, Is
being done. Difficulty and danger do not In
tcrrupt the work, but rather stimulate sur
vivors TO fresh efforts 1t is roble display Of
courage and compassion, and 1t Is not in any
way unusual There is never lack of volun-
tcers for such tasks. Even the dshcartcning
conviction that the imprisoned men have all
persisted will not prevent the living from taking
their own lives in their hands, so long as there
is chance to find the dead The scene M
Pittston is a revelation of herosm as well as Of
misery. Now, as many times before. n sudden
summons to unsclhsh service has brought the
finest qualities of human nature into universal
observation.
1t is necessary to say that this tremendous
effort in which everybody is eager to share
which nobody thinks too perilOus and which
will be kept up without moments reaXa-
ton while a particle of hope remains. is in
striking contrast with the state Of inaction and
seeming indifference which prevailed almost up
to the hour of the disaster. The men who in all
probability have persisted were engaged in n
desperate attempt to avert n danger which was
not fully realized until too late Yet there had
been repeated warnings, and ii was crmnay
careless TO postpone the work which ended so
tragically What pity it is that part OF the
zeal and activity which are now being put forth
so lavishly was not employed to make life and
property secure a week ago. II Is too early TO
apporion the blame. and IT may he that the
one most at fault Is among the victims: but the
truth ought to be ascertained OF course there
will be an investigation. There always 10 an
