TIE SITUATION.

While the calamity which has be-
fallen Topeka is the greatest in the
history of the city, 1t is devoid of mucn
of the horror which at first seemed to
attend it.
When the flames from the burning
lumber yards and from a few houses
were reflected on the sky Saturday
night across the almost impassable
Kansas river. it was thought that the
entire north portion Of the city was in
flames. 1t was even estimated that 15o
people had been burned. So far as
known now no life was destroyed by
fire. no business houses were burned,
and the fire was practically confined as
above stated.
The known list of dead is less than
twenty-five, and while there are many
wild rumors the conservative feeling is
that the list of drowned may be con-
fined to less than fifty.
The property damage is enormous.
The north side under water to the ex-
tent Of from six to ten feet for three
days or more gives a flood situation
whose results from damage by water
are to a large extent problematic.
While the loss to life is dreadful as
it is, it is far beneath the number at
first feared. The damage to buildings
and merchandise and household goods
win be enormous. exceeding a million
dollars.
The disaster to the city has brought
forth innumerable instances Of heroism
and bravery. There has been no lack
Of helpers for every emergency volun-
teers in the rescue work have far ex-
ceeded the demand.
Topeka has already contributed a
fund Of $4,000 for the sufferers, and is
ready to aid the small towns in the
state where assistance is needed. The
capital city Of Kansas is not asking fin
ancial aid from the outside and believes
IT is able to take care of its own suf-
ferers.
kilograms have been received from
every quarter extending sympathy and
financial assistance. Great work is
ahead for the committees to provide
homes and places of habitation for the
North Topeka people who will be unable
to live in their houses for several weeks.
The necessary work of sanitation and
for the care Of the North Topeka needy
win entail large sums Of money. but It
IS believed the Topeka people viii be
equal to this and to all the demands
upon her. The words of sympathy and
offers of financial assistance from
everywhere in and out of the state are
most warmly appreciated and viii al
ways have a place in the memory near
est the heart

1T is Impossible to say yet how much

that it is built on sand instead OF
clay. Clay disintegrates when wet,

THE OUTLooK.

LFrom the Washington Post.1
More than j months lie between this
time and the assembling of the Repub-
hcan national convention. Present ap-
pearances strongly indicate the nominal
ton OF President Roosevelt. It is con-
ceded that there are strong interests
and influences against his nomination,
including the opposition Of many con-
Bervative business men in New York
and other states. But unless something
unexpected should occur to change pub
lie sentiment, those states win all send
Roosevelt delegations to the nominating
convention. The west is reputed to be
wild for Roosevelt. We hear of influen-
tial Populists declaring for him. and
there are Democrats. tried and true,
who say that it viii be impossible for
their party. even If once more united,
to defeat his election.
Such IS the situation today; but that
SIS not equivalent to a positive assurance
that Mr.. Roosevelt will receive the hon
or to which he aspires. He is to have
congress on his hands" for a special
session and a regular session. proba bly,
for more than half a year, all told. That
fact is pregnant with possibilities OF
friction with leaders While such hap
penings might possibly be helpful TO
his candidacy, their usual effect IS in the
opposite direction. But. assuming that
all goes well with his political fortunes
and he gets the nomination without
serious opposition, it becomes an inter
esting question how far the opposition
of sundry business interests will be car
ried. Supposing New York. New Jer-
sey, and Connecticut should go for the
Democratic nominee-and that is far
from impossible, as experience has dem
onstrated-would the Democratic trend
stop there2 1t is conceded that. at this
time the Democracy resembles a mob
more than an organization. But that
old party has demonstrated an amazing
capacity for getting together and doing
things that were not looked for. It may
cease to be a mob. and become a COM
pact. virile organization with an abun-
dance of 'the sinews of war; at its
disposal, before the fight begins. This
IS not highly probable. nor is 1t so ex-
tremely improbable as to be unworthy
Of serious consideration.
