Milwaukee harbor the current Is so strong
that 1t was almost impossible for tugs to
handle vessels, and several accidents to
shipping resulted Easements along
the dock line are all flooded, but
there was ample time for removal of goods, SO
great damage was averted. Several lumber
yards are afoat, and considerable damage has
been done at woodyards and at tanneries where
the water has flooded the tan bark. Tonight
fears are entertained that the dam above here,
on the Milwaukee river, will go out. If 1t
does there will be great damage to shipping,
bridges, etc.
Specials to the Republican from the interior
report great damage to bridges, lumber yards,
farms, horses, etc. At Beloit three lives were

more or less damage by the flood.

son; that until to-day only three Democrats
would have voted against Robertson, but now
their policy is changed and they propose to
help that element of the Republicans which
antagonizes the administration. A Democratic
senator this evening in a conversation, ad-
vised senator Conkling of the sudden change
among the Democrats. On this question a
prominent Republican friend of secretary
Blaine said tonight that the
Democrat assumption that Frye
spoke for the administration was erron-
eous. He said that Frye and Blaine are not on
good terms, because Frye that Blaine did not
treat him properly in the matter of his cleo
tion to the Senate; that Blaine helped Hale to
the first Senatorship in preference to Frye, and
that the latter, instead of representing tie adj
ministration, was more likely to be among its
opponents. This is the status of this matter
tonight, and if Robertson,s case were to come
up to- morrow, it is apparent that nearly every
Democrat would vote against him.

He Does Not Retire from the Tribune"

Upon His Marriage.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Whitelaw Reid hav-

report telegraphed from the West, that he was
about to retire permanently from the editor
ship of the Tribune to be succeeded by Col.
John Hay, said it was without foundation, as
was the story that he was going to take, or
was seeking the mission to Berlin, which he
declined two years ago. He had requested his

he could not be asked, under any circnm-

OMAHA, April 2O-Old settlers recall say

overflow this season, instead of arriving at a
standstill as was expected the river has been
rising at the rate of an inch an hour, and is
now twenty feet above low water mark, and all
concerned are preparing to meet as high a
food as that of the Sth inst. The overflow
this morning blockaded the Burlington & Mis-.

Bluffs railroad tracks south of this point, and
interrupted work at establishments on the
lower part of the river bottom. The Union
Pacific railroad is ready to run bridge of cars
across the low track near the transfer depot, If
necessary to maintain communication, as
before. No such serious damage is anticipated
as was wrought by the previous flood, but
much Inconvenience is inevitable.

THE TURF.
Lorillard's Mistake Gets Second Place in

The Newmarket, Eng, Handicap.
LONDON, April 2O.-The Newmarket handi-
cap was won by Berzencze: Lorillard's Mistake
second, and School Boy third.
NoTE-The Newmarket handicap is gener-
ally considered as inaugurating the racing
season in England. In former years not much
attention was paid to it by leading sportsmen
and only moderate horses were represented.
Added significance has been given to it among
English turf patrons from the
fact that Mr.. Pierre Lorillard carried

horses of England, such as Elf King, Preston

racing. The acceptances included four

of the race are distressingly meagre, SO much

next important event in which the American
horses appear, and which the weight of En-

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Frye's
speech to-day has had the effect of putting a
new phase entirely upon the contest over the
confirmation of Robertson. Democratic Sen
ators all believe that Frye was put forth as
the spokesman of the administration and of
Blaine. The Democrats are very indignant
over Frye's speech. The Western Associated
press reporter interviewed thirteen Democrat
ic Senators tonight, from both North and
South, and all expressed the same opinion

stalwart than Conkling and his friends. One
Democratic senator said he had talked with

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Senator Frye's
speech to-day is what the Democrats call
ultra. bloody. He presented the numerous
election outrages in Florida, South Carolina,
Texas, Mississippi and other Southern States.
He had his alleged outrages all arranged on q
roll of manuscript, and named the localities.
His speech was severe, and may have an infu:
ence on the Robertson case. The Democratic
Senators regard Frye as representing and

this view, they express determination to join

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The President
nominated Richard A. Almer, of New York,
for second assistant postmaster general, vice
Thomas J. Brady, resigned; WA. NJ. Grier, Of
of Pennsylvania, third assistant postmaster
general, vice A. D. Hazen, appointed attorney
general. Postoface department: George B.
Everett, of North Carolina, collector of inter.
nal revenue for the Fifth district of North
Carolina.
Four delegations from Baltimore visited
the White house to-day urging the claims
of their respective candidates for the post
mastership of that city. The President said
in making the appointment he should
not seek to meet the wishes of one faction, but
should endeavor to fill the Office with per-
son acceptable to the great business interests
of the city, and if such person was not pro.
posed with greater degree of unanimity than
is now shown, he might go outside the city or
appoint a Democrat.
There is no opposition yet expressed to Gen.
Longstreet's confirmation as United States
marshal of Georgia, and it is generally believed
that he will be confirmed by practically
unanimous vote. Senator Brown says he feels
very kindly toward Gen. Longstreet. Senator
Ben. Hill is absent, and it is not known how
he feels.

The statement is current tonight that no
other course was open, which would cause a

The facts explanatory OF this summary action

Editorial York

The editor of the Peoria Journal dis
courses as follows concerning the labor
connected with daily newspaper editorial
work: CA man who writes for a news
paper is much more slave than man
who follows any other profession. We
are told that the law is a jealous mistress,
and will have no divided attention But
if this be true OF the law it is much more
true of the profession of journalism. A
man who binds himself to newspaper
life has long and wearied existence of
monotonous drudgery. A lawyer, wear
led in the preparation of case, can con-
tinue it if be shrinks from the labor of
trying it. He can have vacations and in
termissions; but nothing of this sort is
possible with the editor. He is like
galley slave-chalned to the oar When
the time comes he must write.
If the brain be wearied and the
physical system dull and suffering,
it makes little difference The
will must come to the rescue. and the task
must be accomplished then and there.
For this reason more men break down
and grow prematurely old in the EDITORS
work than in any other. The joys of So
ciety are denied him. No sooner does he
get out one sheet than his energies are
taxed to go over the ground again, and,
unless he has perennial spring of en-
thuslasm in his breast, he soon gets over
worked and dull. One of the hardest
things in the world is to keep up this con-
tinued grind all of the time, day in and
day out No wonder that the average
brain crumb1es under it and weakens;
and the final result is not f1attering. Few
make more than a bare living out of it.
Others, who, like Horace Greeley, reach
the top, like Greeley, die Of exhaustion
before they taste the joys"
