THE GREAT FLOOD.

The monthly weather report for May,
issued by the Signal Bureau, says:
''The riverfood Of the most Importance,
during this month has been that which
devastated the Valleys of the lower
Mississippi, Arkansas, White, Red, and
other rivers. The crevasses on the
Mississippi river may be classified as
follows: Between Memphis and the
Louisiana State line were four large
crevasses and several smaller ones,
opening into the States of Mlssis-
sippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. South
of the Louisiana State line, and
almost exclusively opening into that
State, were fourteen large and nine
small crevasses. The total length of
breaks in levees exceeds twelve miles.
The total extent of bottom lands over
flowed exceeds $4,000 square miles.
The overfowed land in Louisiana was
confined to a region of 20 to so miles
broad, Immediately adjoining the west
ern bank of the river, and spreading
out over at least one-half of the Delta
property 50 called; the entire length of
the inundated region, in n north ana
south direction, being nearly 100 miles.

In the late Socisl Science Congress
in New York we recognized the pres
ence of members who were distinguish
ed statetmen in the days of President
Jackson. The most interesting debate
followed the reading of paper from
Mr.. Flagg, of Illinois, which we have
briefly noticed elsewhere. Mr.. Ruggles
is an earnest cultivator of social sci
ence, and presented many useful facts
for public consideration in the late con-
vention. He said the people of ten
States lying north of the Ohio river
owned in 1850 farm property valued at
S9l4, 100000. The population of these
States has doubled in the last ten years.
In 1870 the value of their farm proper
ty was IS, 100000. The value
of farm products was not given
in 1850 and 1860, but in 1870 it was
shown in these ten States to be $685.
100000. 1t appears that 975 out of
every thousand farmers, in these States,
owned their farms. In twenty years
they had accumulated five billion dol.
lars worth of property. The census of
1870 returned 100000 farmers in the
States referred to; and the average
value of property possessed by each
was S4,40O. They paid out less than
ten per cent of their income for labor
"a fact which we commend to the at
tention of every planter. In 1870 they
produced twenty-one million tons of
grain alone. With great propriety and
pungency, Mr.. Ruggles insisted
that Canada is better governed
than the United States; for she
has appropriated six million dol
lars to facilitate water transportation.
The Canadians carry grain from Lake
Michigan to Montreal for $3.50 ton,
while it now costs S6.45 a ton to trans
port it to New York City. Provincial
craftsmanship beats that of Radicalism
in promoting the farming, commercial
and manufacturing interests of Amer
lea. No farmer of sense will object to
plain statistics of this character, but
he will take them into his Grange and
discuss them fairly with view to reach
their full meaning.
Agricultural truth grows slowly,
like the germ IN an acorn
which ultimately becomes a
mighty oak, and the parent of millions
of acorns IN the course of a century.
In the same way farmers should grow
from the apprehension of one vital
truth to another, until truths by the
million illuminate every recess of the
understanding. 1t is impossible that
one truth should oppose or contradict
another, although they often appear to
do so. Our social science is very limit
ed and defective, and we too often blight
our powers of production just as rust
and smut on wheat sometimes blast our
hopes when the grain is nearly ripe for
the cradle or the reaper.

THE DEBT OF THE DISTRICT

The Baltimore american, Repub-
lican journal, speaking of the dirty
debt of the District of Columbia, ere
ated under the pretence of improve
ments, says:
Members of Congress who build ex-
pensive houses in Washington become
large taxpayers to the District Govern
ment, and when the local assessments
are too grievous TO be borne, they will
be beset by a mighty temptation to
transfer the burden to the United
States Government. Mr.. Shepherd,
knowing the weakness of human ma
ture, supposed that Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress would soon
get tired of paying tax of three per
cent per annum on their property, and
that their personal interest in the mat
ter would give them a keener apprecia-
ton Of the force of the arguments used
by the attorneys for the ring to show
that the people of the United States,
and not the people of the District Of
Columbia, ought TO pay this debt"

VIEWS OF THE STATE PRESS.

We want all the facts and particu.
lars of which the Banner stands pos
sessed, and we want them now, feeling
that neither the public interests nor
the welfare of the Democratic party is
to be subserved by silence, until the
courts meet in September. Did Burch
buy Hobbs place? Let the Banner
answer.-Memphis Appeal.
That is what every one wants to
know. If the Bdnnerrefuses to put its
inuendoes into plain language, it will
be taken for granted that it cannot
substantiate the charge, and fears the
result of Col. Burch's libel suit. If it
does not prove its charges it stands
convicted of libel. If it proves that
Col. Burch did buy the Office, then
Hobbs and Burch are both rendered
Infamous. 1t is too serious a matter to
be turned off as jest, and the people
have a right to demand plain language.

THE NEW RAsKRUpr LAW.

The law as amended remedies many
defects of the present law, and en-
bodies some excellent features. 1t is
very lenient to the business classes, but
tins is policy that is justified by time
and the experience Of other mercantile
nations. Most creditors now compre-
bend that nothing is to be gained by
undue severity. The clauses giving
debtors a "grace" of forty days for
protested paper, and requiring the con-
sent of one-fourth in number, and one
third in value, of the creditors before
they can be thrown into bankruptcy,
are in entire accord with the die
tates of our christianized civili-
cation. They mark a long stride
from the time when debtor and ali
his family were liable to be sold into
slavery to satisfy the requirements of
creditors. A single creditor can no
longer throw debtor into bankruptcy.
The new law, as a whole, may be re-
garded as an improvement. 1t ex-
tends to honest debtors all reasonable
facilities for meeting their obligations
and maintaining their commercial stand
ing, even under the worst of circum-
stances; and at the same time, it ae-
cords to creditors all the security which
they could reasonably and equitabiy
claim, and much more, perhaps, than
they could derive from a more summa-
ry and stringent code against the
debtor class.

THE Cincinnati Commercial is quite
disrespectful in its comments upon the
United States Senate. For instance, it
says:
THE United States Senate is what
is called an august body" Whenever
an assemblage is particularly slow, OBJ
stinate, stupidity profound and pro-
foundly stupid, arrogant and, in gener-
al, asinine, it has established claim to
be called an august body. The nearer
it approaches utter uselessness, be-
cause Of a superabundance of wisdom
which forbids common sense peTfor-
nance till the opportunity has passed,
the more appropriately it is termed
august. Nothing could be more
august than the United States Sen
ate"

LOUISIANA.

The people of Louisiana, having no
hope of delivery by Congress, have
made up their minds to deliver them
selves by beating the Kellogg party in
the State election next November.
They held their first meetings in New
Orleans last Friday. All opponents of
the Kellogg commandments,
Liberals and Reformers-took part,
and the meeting exhibited a good deal
of enthusiasm. There is no Governor
to be chosen in November, but there is
a Legislature to be elected, and the
anti-Radicals are resolved to elect a
strong majority in it against the Kel-
logg Government. If they succeed in
this-and the st. Louis Republican
thinks there is little doubt that they
will-the new Legislature will have
Kellogg at its mercy, for, if it can do
do nothing else, it can impeach and re-
move him.

THE question, Can Spain hold Cuba:
is generally receiving a negative an
swer in the former country from per-
sons well informed as to the real con-
dition of affairs on the island. They
do not think it possible for Spain to
put down the revolution in a far-otf
island, and at the same time keep in
check the Carlists. The work is too
heavy for the men who have under
taken it. They have not yet defeated
Don Carlos or driven him from the
country. He still holds the field in
the North of Spain with an army, the
strength of which is computed at over
twenty-five thousand men. This being
the case it Is idle to suppose that the
leaders Of the Republic at Madrid Will
send more soldiers to Havana. Such a
drain upon the home forces would en-
danger the safety of the Republic, and
that point will not be uncovered to
help the Government party in Cuba.

LATER evidence seems to confirm so
strongly testimony heretofore ques-
toned, that it is fair to say now that
the Secret Service Bureau of the Treas
ury Department is clearly implicated in
the Washington conspiracy to convict
an innocent man and an old and high
ly respected citizen of felony in order
to save the ring. OF all the disgrace
full chapters in that rings history, this
safe burglary business is the worst;
and to appoint any member of the old
ring to Office under the new govern
ment, until his skirts are thoroughly
cleared of this transaction, will be moth
ing short of infamy.-Nelo York Tri-

THE New York City Directory for

THE New York City Directory for
1874 contains 229, SOB names, an in
crease of 1912 over last year. This
does not show a very large growth dur
ing the time named. The fact Of any
increase must be attributed to the an
nexation of a part of Westchester
county. The lack of growth is attrib-
uted to the effect of the panic. The
city contains 373 churches. The Prot
estant Episcopal denomination has 76
churches; the Methodists 40; Roman
lists rs; Presbyterians As; Baptists 81;

THE platform erected by the Repub-
licans of Indiana, at their recent State
Convention, says: at the Administra-
ton party has demonstrated its una
bated hostility to the demoralizing doc
trine, that to the victors belong the
spoils of Office" The platform was
the handiwork of Col. Dick Thompson,
a very nice gentleman of the Wing
school, in old times, and it is evident
he thought he was writing a platform
for that good old party To claim that
Administration men ever exhibited any
repugnance to the "spoils of Office" is,
certainly, very brassy.-Nel0 York Trt-

r.nu,Ns AND FINANCE.

II is useless to deny that farming and
finance have intimate and inseparable
relations; and an old farmer wants to
say few words on these natural associ-
ations. As text, attention is called
to the last paragraph in tie leading
editorial of The FiRaRcier of the 10th
instant:
"Do the practical business men like
the long experience of laundering IN
the public finances, and particularly for
the last nine months? Do they see yet
whether they have any concern IN the
administration of public affairs, or is
further term of suffering experience
necessary to show them? If the knowl-
edge of finance is of no practical con-
sequence to them, they ought to under
stand by this time whether the ignor-
ance Of it is. If people take no interest
il the subject and political economy
is sighted as vague and useless thing
fit only for theorists, politicians will
continue to be sent TO Congress, and
will despise research, and will act has
tily, recklessly and meddlesomely, to
the continued injury of business, while
the practical business men are too
much absorbed in their private bust
ness, the times being so dull and hard,
to take much note of what is going on.
On the contrary, until finance can be
got out of politics, and for the purpose
of getting it out, it must be made
political question, if business men
will not pay attention to it, they will
certainly be made to pay the penalty
in suffering until they learn the prac-
teal wisdom of attending to the most
practical and the largest things"
To no other class do the above re-
marks apply more directly than to
American farmers.
If the ruling mind of the nation
which obviously makes, wisely or I'M
wisely, the law-making power of the
land, fearfully neglects its duty, what
is the available remedy. When farm
ers take little or no interest in fnan-
cial questions, and agricultural papers
generally exclude them to please their
readers, how is the needed reform to be
inaugurated? Men of the highest cul-
ture in political economy and farmers,
it NAV be Patrons of Husbandry,
should take the lead in these discussions
and see that higher standard of In
telligence is raised and maintained, and
that no incompetent man is sent to any
Legislative body.
Bad representatives may do infinitely
more harm than good to the public;
and the farmers have the numerical
strength to correct this great evil,
which by divisions in their ranks they
too often throw away. They mnst
Judge every tree by its fruit. In private
life, self-denial is the basis of financial
success; but no amount of personal
sacrifice can cure evils resulting from
Government Encouragement, and Off
cial incompetency, or dishonesty, and
possibly both combined. These import
ant disorders require extensive combi-
nations to meet the exigencies of the
case, and restore the body polite to
a pure and healthy consideration.

NOT A GOOD SESSION FOR JOBS.

Washington (June 22) Special to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
Upon the whole this has not been a
good session for lobbyists. No Jobs of
magnitude have slipped past the vigi-
lance of a House the majority of whom
are new members, fresh from the PEG
pie, and deeply impressed with the pub
lie desire for retrenchment and reform.
Quite frequently comparison has been
made this session between this and the
last Congress to the great disadvantage
of the old body. The improvement is,
however, perceptible only in the House.
The Senate are the same old
collection Of pompous marplots
that they were in the last
Congress. with few really able and
conscientious men among them to
make more conspicuous their general
uselessness. The few lobbyists here
are not cheerful. Their time and
money have been spent in vain. 1t is
noteworthy that the Pacific Railroad
jobbers have not had the nerve to make
any sustained effort on the Treasury.
They were greatly discouraged at the
reception given their schemes In Con-
gress and by the press, and after free
ly showing their hands they subsidized.
This is more remarkable in view of the
fact that this lobby was without doubt
the best, contained the most able men
and controlled the most money of any
that has put in an appearance for some
years. There will, however, probably
be a lapse from virtue next winter.
The thieves are growing thin and must
be cared for speedily.

TRICHINA SPIRALIs.

Two fatal cases of this dreadful dis
ease have occurred in Toledo, Ohio.
About two months ago a German citi-
zen named Eilers bought a couple Of
pounds of sausage, which was cooked
rare" and eaten for breakfast next
morning. A correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune states that the sue
ceedIng day Ellers was seized with Pc
culiar symptoms, which eliminated in 4
violent diarrhea and vomiting, lasting
a5out twenty-four hours. His wife
and two children were also attacked
with pains. Physicians were sum-
moned, who pronounced the trouble
with Mrs. Eilers and the children to be
rheumatism, and treated them for that.
Other physicians were called in, who
diagnosed the disease correctly. Five
weeks after the attack one of the chill
dren, 10y aged three years, died in
great agony. On the 10th inst. Mrs.
Ellers died, and a microscopic examina-
ton of portions of the flesh taken
from thelungs, limbs and other parts of
the body revealed the fact that the
whole system swarmed with trichina.
In Jumps of flesh no larger than a pin
head were found from fifteen to twenty
of the encysted parasites. The other
Child is not dead yet, but lives in very
critical condition 1t is supposed that
Eilers' life was saved by the violent
purging and vomiting which he under
went. The case is exciting much inter-
est in the medical profession in Toledo,
and specimens of the infected flesh
have been seEt abroad to medical coll
leges and prominent physicians.
