The Bepubllcans Prohibition Issue.
Having burned thrir own fingers in
meddling with tho Prohibition issue,
remarks the Philadelphia Jleconl, the
Republican leaders betray groat anxiety
as to the position tho Democrats in
Pennsylvania will tako on tho liquor
question. Tho Democrats, howover,
aio not troubling thomsolvcs. Tho
position has boen taken from tho start.
All sumptuary legislation is obnoxious
to tho Democratic prty. Tho yoting
dotio in Juno indicates that a largo
majority of tho people of Pennsylvania
agreo with tho Domocratio party as to
this matter. The troublo will come,
when the llcpublioan platform shall bo
written. What starting-hole will that
party next find out to liiilo its past
ttoaoheries from its Prohibition allies T
Forty-Two Stars Not Legal.
Although Hie Navy Department has
issued an order to tho effeot that here
after all flags made for tho nayy shall
contain forty two stars, a roquost from
tho Assistant Treasurer at New Yoik
for a flag of this description has been
refused by,tho Treasury Department.
Tho officials of tho IWemto Marino
Bureau, which distributes flags to tho
custom house-", revenue marine boats,
etc., hold that a flag with forty-two
stars is not a legal flag, and will not be
nntil the next Fourth of July. Tho
law says : ''On the admission of a new
Stato into tho Union ono star shall bo
added to the union of tho flag, and
suoh addition shall tako effect on tho
4th day of July next succeeding suoh
admission." The flags with forty-two
stars aro just one year ahead of time.
Pal the Blame Where it Belongs-
It 'is pleasing to note that there is
among sensible clergymen a refusal to
subsoribo to tho idea that the Co no
maugh valley flood was a visitation of
Gol for some wise purpose. Only
those who would bring religion into
contempt, woald indnlgo in such rant.
It would be useless, it would bo use
less to try and convince rational beings
that in that peaceful valley, peopled by
thrifty and law abiding inhabitants,
thero was such a carnival of sin as
invited tho wrath of the Almighty.
Neither will the minds of men accopt
the doctrino that any possible lesson
in morals or man's duty to his Maker
to be learned by that awful disaster
could compensate for the destruction
of the lives of thousands of innocent
children, godly women and honest men.
Let the blame be placed where it bo
longs. An insecure dam, maintained,
despite its menaoe to life and property
by a club of Pittsburg millionaires,
was alone the cause. Those sports
men, by their selfishness and thought
lessness, brought death, ruin, and deso
lation to the Conemaugh Valley. AT.

A PENSION BUHLESQDE.
Tho following from tho Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin, one of the
Btaunchest Republic in paper) of that
city, quite clearly indicates that tho
Tanner pension policy is not approved
of by so mo who assisted in electing
Harrison :
Tho Ohio republicans in thoir plat
form have deolared in favor of granting
a pension to every honorably-discharged
Union soldier and sailor in the War
of the Rebellion, and this is a part of
their declaration of principles, to
which objection will be made by
many good Republicans. Its.meaning
is that everybody who served in the
Union ranks, no matter whether he
ever received a scratch in tho war, and
no matter how little ho may need tho
bounty of tbo government, shall have
a pension. To oarry out such apropo
eition as this would bn to exceed any
thing in the way of giving pensions
that has ever been done or even con
templated by any other government in
the history of tho world. It is well
known that tho present Pension Com
missioner is in favor of issuing a pen
sion to everybody who has ever bad any
connection, however slight, with tbo
Union Army in tho war of the Uebel
lion and of raising to the highest figure
possible the pensions nf thos? who are
now on the list Instead of making an
attempt to decrease these payments, bis
object is to make them as largo as tho
condition of tho Treasury and the gen
erosity of (ho people will admit. There
is apparently no undertaking wlnob, in
the judgment of Commissioner Tannet,
is so laudable on the part of a govern
ment as the pensioning of its people,and
tbe bigger its pension rolls the greater,
in his opinion, aro tbe proofs of its
wealth and goodness. There is no de
serving Burvivor of the Union Army
who, if he Btands in need of help by
reason of the disabilities which he may
have contracted in tbe service of his
country, will nothavo tho sympathy of
tbe Republican party iu asking for
help from the government which he
Helped to save, liut wuon wo are sen
oualv told that this heln oncrht to bo
extended to tens of thousands of men
who aro in no need of support, and
who never thought of asking for it, it
is time tuat a liait was cuietl on the
thoughtless zeal of those who assume
to bo friends of tbe soldiers, ouch a
polioy would mean the expenditure of
not less than $100,000,000 a year in
addition to tho disbursements which
the government now makes, and it
would bo the fruitful parent of ex
travagance and jobbery. Thero is no
just excuso for such a proposition.
The soldiers as a class are not asking for
ft, and the principles of the Republican
party do net encourage tbo idea. It
has been contended" that no easior
method could be devised of gettiug rid
of tho surplus in tho Treasury, and
this is doubtless true, liut thero are
more useful if not quite so easy meth
ods of relieving ourselves of this ple
thora of tho national income, and thoy
aro to bo found in tbo construction of
a navy and in tho fortifications of our
coaato. To squander it in pension
money simply for tho sake of getting
rid of it is a suggestion which is not
only unrepnblioau in spirit, but un
Btatesruaoliko iu practice. On tho
contrary, tho time has come when wo
should begin to think of drawing tho
lino on peusions rather than in extend
ing them, and this Mot will be reoog
nized by tboso soldiers who believe
that a pension should be a mark of
honor, distinction and reward, and not
a gift showered indiscriminately upon
unpersons who over woro tho Federal
anlform.
TATEMENT OF THE TL00D RELIEF
COMMISSION.
At a regular meeting ol the Flood
Roliof Coinlssion, helil on July I), a
committee, of thrco members was ap
pointed to prcparo for tho information
of contributors to tho fund a statement
of tho irrnernl relief work performed.
Tho committee makes report as follows;
In round figures tho expenditures to
dato for relief in tho Conomaugh Val
ley, Johnstown and vicinity, aggre
gate ono million seven hundred thou
sand dollars. This includes tho work
of tho Pittsburg, Johnstown and Phila
delphia committee and tho Flood Com
mission) also disbursements of tho State
in tho abatement of nuisances and pay-
mint of tho military detailed to stalt
and police duty.
Various committees in tho West havo
been working through tho Pittsbuig
and Johnstown committees, and in tho
East through tho Philadelphia commit
tee and tho Governor of tho State.
The Flood Commission lias been for
med to crcato a unit of administration.
In that commission, of which the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania is tho chairman,
tho committees of Pittsburg, Phila
delphia and tho otalo at largo havo rep
resentation. All tho funds placed un
der control of the Excutivo havo been
transferred to tho'Commission, and an
implied understanding exists that tho
committees of Pittsburg nnd Philadel
phia will do the same. It Is also desir
able that all tho money now in tho
hands of other committees for this pur
poso bo placed under tho jurisdiction of
tho Governor and tho Commission.
The Commission has held frequent
meetings in various parts of the Stale.
All its members save ojo or two, pre
vented by uncontrollable causes, havo
mado personal investigation of tho
several flooded districts of tho
Stato. Relief has been given in all
needful directions with tho greatest
dispatch consistent with tho best wis
dom that conld be brought to bear up
on the case. Correspondence and con
ference havo boen freely invittd for the
information of tho committees in tbo
first instance and the Governor and
Commission subsequently.
The problom confronting tho Com
mission in tho Conomaugh Valley is of
great magnitude, demanding the ut
most celerity and tho wisest and most
delicate discrimination.
Tho number of persons to bo fed has
varied from a maximum ot 31,950 to a
present commissary roll of 7,000.
The number of distinct claims to bo
passed upon, many of them involving
tho interests of families or dependo it
relatives, aggregate iiearly 4,000.
The Commission has sought to find
tho will of tho donors of tho great sums
contributed for the relief of sufforers,
and believing that the following declar
ation of principles met the conditions,
it was adopted and promulgated at a
meeting hold in Ilarrisburg on Juno 27:
"To The Jublio.That tho donors
of the funds in the hands of tho Flood
Relief Commission may know how their
genorous gifts aro to bo disposed of,
and that tho expectant recipients of tho
same may not form erroneous views of
and foster improper expeditions for
the same, it is now officially declared
and announced that tho following
principles shall govern the distribution
of relief:
"1. The said fund is in the nature of
a charity to the needy, and not as a
general indemnity for losses sustained.
"2. That a distribution per capitt
would be manifestly unjust, as it would
ao aliko to tho rioh and poor and alike
to all sufferers, no matter what their
needs or extent of their uircriugs.
"3. That a distribution by percent
age on tho amount of losos would bo
manitcstly unjust, as it wjhui result in
giving tho largest sum to the person
having lost tho most, without regard to
the value of tho remaining estate ot
such persons.
"4. That this fund cannot bo used
for the benefit of any privato or publio
corporation.
"5. That tbo fund must go only to
the most needy sufferers from the flood
in accordance with and iu the spirit of
the trust impressed upon it by tho
donors.
"At tho unanimous request of the
Commission, Hon. Hugh H Cummin
was requested to proceed to Johns
town and remain thero as tbo resident
representative and executive officer of
this Commission in tho Conemaugh
Valley."
In accordance with tho foregoing,
Judge Cummin has fixed his office in
Johnstown as the resident oxoco'ive of
ther Commission and is working ener
getically in harmony with the local
Relief Committee and tho leading
citizens.
Suplies of food, shoes and clothing
will continue to bo given to tho needy
as required. It is hoped to shortly
discontinue this form of relief. Four
hundred portable houses and two hun
dred to be built on tho spot are already
contracted for. Thoy will bo lmdo
readv for uso rapidly, as tbe local com
mittee will indicate tho places for them.
Tho number will ba inoreasod, and tho
rato at which thoy will bo snpplied need
only bo limited by tho ability to fi id
ground upon which to put them. They
will be turnisued tor occupancy as com
pleted. Reliof in other forms is also
being givon-
At Cresson July 9, tho Commission
held conferences with oommittoes from
Chicago, Williamsiiort and Johnstown.
In view of the magnitude of the
reliof requirod and the immense detail
involved in a just apportionment of
the funds in hand to the many curious
ly involved cases tho Commission, alter
hearing very fully and deliberately
Messis. McMillan, Elder, Moxham and
Johnson of iho Johnstown Committoo
resolved to appropriate five hundred
thousand dollars, to be distributed
among tbe verified claimants in tho
Conemaugh Volley, through its repro
tentative iu Johnstown, Hon. II. II.
Cummin soon as tho checks for the pay
ments can be prepared. Tho sums so
paid to ba considered as payments on
account of a final adjustment to be
mado upon a carciuuy uovisod system
alroadv nnroved bv tho Commission.
The details aro left to tho judgment of
Judge Cummin, but thero is tacitunder-
standing that tho distribution is to lie
upon tho registration and classification
of claims already mado with much care
by tho Johnstown committee. This
cash will average considerably above
100 to each claimant' and is in addition
to cash already distributed by the
Johnstown committee This, it will bo
remembered, is besides tbo general relief
work oonstatnly going forward.
It will thus he observed that the total
relief already affordod tho Conemaugh
Valley sufferers is in round figii'estwo
million two hundred thousand dollars.
The Commission increased the sum
to bodevotod to retiet in the nineteon
other counties besides Cambria, to two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The Ibrgest single sum will bo required
for the Willlamsportdistriotof Lycom
ing county. This, iu addition to vari-
ous relief afforded by committees before
tbo creation of the 1' load Commission.

tho work dono overy where for tho reliof
of tho flood sufferers, nnd placo tho

Georgo II. Thomas Post No. 84, on
Wednesday afternoon. Tho object of
tho meeting was to adopt tho design
of a monument to bo erected on tho
battle-field of Gettysburg, in which
battle this battery was an important
factor.
Col. R. Brtico Ricketts was tho com
mander of tho batteries known as Mat
tery F and Battery G, First Pennsyl
vania Jiipht Artillery. Tbo members
were enlisted from all sections of tho
statu.
By au act of tho Legislature, passod
at tho last so-sion, tho batteries were
autiiorized to mergo their state appro
priation granted each of tho batteries
r . mi !.-!.. 1

They arrived in this city on the morn
ing train, and made the Stevens house
their headquarters. ,
The meeting was canod to oraer at
2 o'olock and J. II. Schmehl was elect
ed oliairman and Luther Seiders chosen
as secretary.
Two drafts of a monument wero pre
sented by Amos S. Esterly, of tho
Reading Granite workB, two from Dean
cr & Son, Reading, two from Heis &
Brown, Reading, and four from Fer
guson & Co., Philadelphia.
All the dtsigus wpro careinny ex
amined and by a unanimous voto one
of those presented by Mr. Esterly was
adopted and tho contract price nxeu at
$3,000.
Tho monument will bo ono of the
handsomest on tho Gettysburg battle
field and the following brief descrip
tion of it will convey an idea of its ap-pt-aranco
:
The base resting on tho foundation
will bo eight by five feet, with a rio
of two feet six inches. It will bo in
two nieces and represents Ashla work.
Above this baso will be another
stone six by four ftet, with ai rise of
three feet, thrco inches. Thero will
be rock work on three sides. On tlm
front will bo a panel with a cannon
brought out in bold relief.
Above this will be a block five feet
by throo feft, five incho, one foot rise,
ol pointed woik.
Abave this w a dio four feet, four
inches by twu feet ten inchts, with a
rise of two feet, eight inches. The
four sides of this piece will bo polished
and contain rucIi inscription as may bo
docidedupon. NextUacip, 5 feet,
by 3 teet 8 inches, by 2 fcotiu dimen
sions of ten-cut work fur inscriptions.
Next is a small die, throe feet, by
two feet, four inches, with a two feet
rise. On the sides will bo oak an 1
laurel wreaths, with the Ponuyslyania
coat of arms in bronze ; next is a cap
three feet, three inchc, by three feet,
with a rise of ono foot, six inches of
ten-cut woik. Abovo th s tho top
piece of tho monument proper will be
a figuro of an artillery bugler, seven
feet high. Tho monument with figure
will bo 22 feet high aud will weigh
nearly twentv-six tous. There will be
three hundred and twenty cubic feet
of stone in the monument ; which was
designed by Dr. Herman Strecker, of
Reading, who was recently honored
with a dogreo by Franklin and Marsh
all college. Henry Beckard represent
ed Mr. Esterly, tho contractor, and ex
plained the des gn adopted,
Messrs. bhmclil and bolder wero
appointed a oomraittee to appear before
th Gettysburg Battlo-fuld association
with tho design adopted lor approval.
This approval is mere matter of form,
for Coi. Ricketts, their old commander,
is a member of the commission and he
will -co that the choice of his men is
approved.
Tho monument will be ooruplrlc-tl
late this full and placed in position,
when there will probably bo a r.i union
of tho batteries on the ba'.tle-field.
After pasning a vote of thinks to
G urge II. Thomas Post for tho uso of
their room tho couunittoe adjourned.

Tho plulu printers are jubilant over
the removal of tho stram pinto print

made by order of Secretary Windom,
who declined to allow the Company
owning them to accept tho ridiculous
compensation of one cent per thousand
ImpiefsioLs as royalty lor the uso of

Postmaster General Wanamakfr has
"jumped on" the telegraph Company
by notifying thorn that in future tho
Goveininei.t would iiay otily one mill

grapb companies while ie cognizing tho
legal right of the Postmaster General
to say what tbo compensation shall bo

monoy by doing tho work for tho pres
ent prioe, and say that if Mr. Wanama-
kt-r will not change his mind they will
carry tho messages for nothing as it
will bo cheaper than to keep tbo ac
counts and raako the collections at tbo
rate of one mill per word.

and yet ho left with out even notifying

it is staled hero with great positive
ness that the state of Mr. Blaine's
health is so bad that ho will not return

I don't boliovo a word of it, and yet in
all probability Mr. Bl dno himself, is

would the average man.
Tennis Match-
In response to the invitation of tho
Bonita Tennis Club, about fifteen mem
bers of the Plymouth Club arrived in
town on Tuosday noon. Tho games
were called at 2:30 ; the first event bj

Bonita winning every sot.
Tho second match in gentlemen's

homo club.
Next were played thn gentlemen's
singles, in which Messrs. Woodruff &
Ikeler, aud Messrs. Cliamberlin & ltish
ton wero the contestants. Tho score
in the sot of Woodruff vs. lkelor was
4-G, 2-0 ; this event being decided, by
agroomont, by best two out of three.
This proved tho most exciting event
of tho afternoon, ond the good plays
ou both sides were warmly applauded.
Tbe score iu tbo set of Cliamberlin
vs. Rishtou was 0-6, 0-6, 3-6 ; thus
giving Rishton tho three sets necessary
to make the winner, after a prettily
piayea contest.
