Both of the eminent states- men contending for the prize or whose for- tunes are thus brought to the test are every way worthy of the honor and the trust of the presi dency. Mr. Harrison, for over three years, has many Ameri men. Mr. Blaine’s career has shown more and more his capacity for d with the largest questions in the largest manner, and there is | absolutely no doubt that the old argument of his impulsivensss has lost force since his last | administration of the offi Secretary of State. The nomince of the convention may be neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Harrison, for repab- ean conventions have had a habit of selecting coolly the best man to run, and not being stampeded to any one powerful candidate nnless beforehand the sense of the party inclines irre- sistibly that way. Whether it be the incum- bent, the Maine statesman or “some other good man,” the great work done for the publie by both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine will be ‘unaffected by the result at Minneapolis. As to the principlestruggle in the convention, it would seem from what is known that there has not beeu in years a more earnest and well fought contest. The leaders are well matched and the forces at comm: pparently, nearly equally divided. What will conclude the fliet may not be foreseen, at least not in any very definite sense. A number of things enter into the calculati pn will be used to strengthen or weaken the respec- tive sides in the controversy. ‘The decisive action may not be taken until late in the t or even far into the succeding week. But it is likely not to be d -y long after prelimi- nary questions are se ift the undecided delegati is ascer- ‘tained. press the « or members —o——__ Floods have been unusually destructive this Year. Oil fires are always likely to take place im the oil region. Sek of flood and fie work spire such alarm as the midnight terror that fell upon the people of Titusville and Oil City, Pennsylvania, and, indeed, thronghout the whole of that section. The country has suf- fered fearfully from the breaking of dams in small rivers and the resulting overflow of densely populated valleys. It seems that while ‘the recent extraordinarily heavy rains were in- sufficient to have swollen Oil creek to abnormal size, it was the imperfection of a dam that camed the stream to get beyond all former Dounds and prepare the way for the bursting | of the oil tanks. Ignition following, the fl spread withalarming rapidity and scores. pe hundreds, of people pent up by the flood in | their houses were burned without the possi- bility of excape. Further investigation may throw additional light on the origin of the | catastrophe, but it is clear now that persons re- | siding in thick! industrial centers, where the leadin stry or industries pursued under a constant sense of peril, safeguard themselves too carefully, no ma ‘at what cost of time, labor or money. } ought to be permitted of a size sufticier pond up the great mass of water ina bold or | large stream, and such barriers as are built across a considerable creck or river should be provided with flumes able to release the flood. | ‘"Thix provision of a safe suiceway in re might have saved numerous lives property in times past. es are The recent extension in this country 4 Great Britain of copyaght paper articles has awakened intere the courts would hold in a well-< under the law.
