The Star Out of Town.

But the means of the defendant can hardly, of itself, be deemed a fair incentive to litigation. That the club should be made to bear its due share of responsibility no one will deny. But, in looking for rich corporations to call to ac- count, it is a wonder that the people of Johns- town have not thought of the Cambria iron works, However just it may be to accuse the fishing club’s dam of being the direct cause of the wreck, one of the conditions which made the wreck possible may be found in the nar- rowing of the channel of the river by the iron company’s practice of dumping its cinders and slag so as to make a bluff along the banks. This ‘was not the first time Johnstown had been in- undated. In former years, repeatedly, the water bad risen in the lower streets of the town so as to drive the inhabitants of the houses into the upper stories for temporary ref- uge. The damage done on these occasions ‘was considerable, but no suit has been brought against the manufacturing corporation whose convenience alone has been consulted in build- ng up the embankment of refuse and robbing the stream of achance to diffuse its waters when swollen. On the day of the disaster last month the heavy rains had caused a tremendous pressure upon the dam, which, when it broke, let a vast volume of water escape at once into the valley below. Restricted as it was in passing Johns- town, owing tothe encroachments of the slag and cinders upon the channel of the river, the water rushed as down a mill-race, sweeping houses, trees, logs, and other large objects be- fore it and heaping them up against the rail- way bridge, whose spans would not admit of the passage of this mass through them. That caused the backflow, the eddy, and the com- plete swamping of the town. So it seems that, primarily responsible as they may have been for maintaining a dangerous structure like the dam for no beiter purpose than to promote sport, tht members of the fisbing club must not be allowed to bear all the blame for the catastrophe. The institution which built Johns- town up, giving employment to her people and serving as her chief medium of intercourse with the rest of the world, had no inconsider- able part in the work of her destruction, Henry Cabot Lodge, as biographer of Wash- ington, makes his hero out a pretty vigorous partisan, with no leaning toward what is now known as civil service reform, and the enemies of the reform are chuckling over it at a great rate. That is all very well; but, after Wash- ington had had his eight years in the presi- dential chair, he wrote a masterly summary of his experience there in the form of a farewell address to the American people, nearly one- half of which is devoted to a warning of the Daneful influences of the “spirit party.” “It serves always the public councils and enfeeble the public administration,” said this man of rare philo- sophie foresight. kindles the animosity of one part against an- other; foments, occasionalty, riot and insurrec- tion. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.” And in another place: “This spirit * * * exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled or’ repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.” That is pretty stiff non-partisan doctrine from one whom Mr. Lodge would have us regard as a strong party man. As for his lack of sympathy with the modern reform in the civil service, an inference on this head is about as valuable for logical purposes as a statement that the American Cincinnatus on his plantation down the Potomac would not have used the Atlantic cable to hold quick con- verse with his assignee in England, or steam vessels togship his tobacco abroad, if they had existed in his day. “Well done, good and faithful servant,” was never more promptly or significantly spoken to the successful envoy than it has been to Will- iam Walter Phelps, whose return from his brief stay in Germany as Samoan commissioner is greeted with so genuine a welcome from his countrymen, and who hands to the adminis- tration his accounting for a lesser stewardship only to receive back his commission for a greater one. This could not have happened if ‘Mr. Phelps had not given satisfaction to his chief by his management of the trust com- mitted tohim. That he has done this without raising any feeling of animosity at the court of Berlin is also evident; for nothing would have been further from Mr. Blaine’s desire than to have him go back with letters plenipotentiary if his relations with the German government ‘were not of the most friendly and agreeable sort, In his new position Mr. Phelps will doubt- Jess refresh and increase the honors which his former essay in diplomacy brought to him. SOU a Yale college may take to herself the credit of having, at this year's commencement, produced novelty. The roll of honor of the class is said tobe made up, to a very large ex- tent, of the names of young men conspicuous for their skill in and devotion to athletie sports, ‘The youth who in these days succeeds in recon- ciling the triumphs of the base-ball field and certainly the making of an Admirable Crichton in him. ingenious system, Abbé de l'Epee, lived in an ear! = ‘Dr. Gallaudet, who made be Now they are 79.
