German A New Type.
From the Philadelphia Record.

rroH lne fnllauelpnla RECORD.
There was more significance in the speech
of Arthur P. German accepting the nomi-
nation as the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Maryland than ordinarily at
taches to the platitudinous utterances
deemed fitting on such occasions. Though
reputedly strict organization politician,
whom one would have expected to adhere
to the custom of spouting glittering but
insincere generalities, Mr. German sur
prised his immediate hearers and graft
fled the larger circle of Democrats, who had
opposed him as the representative of a
vicious system, by particularizing just ex-
actly what he intended to do, if elected
He did not merely say that he would APP
point good men to the offices which he
would be required to fill. but he specified
what kind of men he would not appoint.
More than this, the candidate does not
cast the allegations of fraud at the recent
primaries, particularly within the limits
of his stronghold, Baltimore, into the teeth
of the utterers but he invites the most
searching investigation. The District At
torney has been requested to proceed in
the matter. and if it transpires that Mr..
Germans candidacy is tainted by fraud, as
charged, he will have none of it. but will
retire from the field. In view of the fact
that Mr.. Germans nomination in the State
convention was obtained by majority of
one vote, and the proved unfairness of the
election of single delegate would turn
the scales against him, there is a ring of
sincerity about his declaration
Mr.. German also proclaims himself a
convert to the policy of Statewide direct
primaries, wherein all elective officers, not
excluding Governors, would be nominated
without the intervention of delegates and
conventions.
When politician of the German type
reaches this conclusion one cannot but
believe that a great advance has been
made in the political morality of the ma
ton. The distance travelled may be esti-
mated by trying to imagine the elder
Arthur Pue German returned to life and
making such "a declaration or the late
Senator Ingalls, rising out of the dead past
to amend his remark so as to read that the
DecalOeue in politics is not an iridescent
dream" The insolvent question of the old
Tammany boss. what are you going to do
about it ?" has been answered by the peo-
Pile when we see the new generation of
practical politicians taking cognizance of
public opinion and hear them repeating
Wilsonisms in the most emphatic manner.
Public opinion has called politics out of
the dark corners and it insists upon public
affairs being conducted in the daylight.
Government by private arrangement is
giving way to government by public dis
cussion. The time for what German calls
that kind of politics" is past.

The Austin Flood.

The dam of the Bayless Pulp and Paper
Company, at Austin, Pa, burst one mile
and a-half north of the town, turning
loose SOC. 100000 gallons of water upon
the community on Saturday last.
Fire followed the bursting of the natural
gas mains.
Over 1000 buildings were wrecked.
Heavy rains of the last two weeks caused
the reservoir to fill for the first time since
it was erected two years ago.
The food supply was swept away.
Physicians, nurses and supplies were
rushed from surrounding towns over the
mountains TO Austin.
Governor Tener ordered the State health
and charity officials to the scene, together
with Adjutant- General Stewart and large
force of the State police.
Austin has population of $500.
Costello, townof 400 population. below
Austin, was also swept away.
Austin is in Potter county just west of
the centre of the State of Pennsylvania.
Potter county adjoins the New York State
line.
The dam was built two years ago, great
structure $50 feet long, spanning the little
valley formed by Freemans Run and rising
to the height of 40 feet. II was of con-
crete, 80 feet wide at the base, and said
to have been constructed after the most
approved plans of modern engineering.
The basin behind it had not been filed
with water since early last year and Satur-
day it was noticed that water was running
over the top Of the structure.
There was nothing to indicate that the
dam was about to give way. With a sharp
report, "A hole was burst in the west end.
In a moment water poured through and II
was Immediately seen that the hole was
getting larger. In minute ii was 20 feet
wide and extended almost the entire height
of the dam Then there was another re-
port and it seemed as if the whole struc-
ture was giving away.
The first estimate Of the number of
lives lost were from 800 to 1000, but
later estimate is that the number will not
exceed 800. possibly will not be more
than $50
The property loss will exceed So, 600. 900,
and it is the general opinion that the town
never will be rebuilt Two. at least, of the
large plants, will not be reconstructed, and
a majority Of the business men Of the
place have been financially ruined.
