THE SO FLOODS.

The d~estitution in the South caused
by the overflow Of the Mississippi river
has assumed alarming proportions. The
country devastated and the number OF
people made homeless can scarcely DO
realized without personal observation.
The Secretary Of War states that in bis
judgmen. fifty thousand people have
been driven from their homes. and must
DO assisted for sixty days to come. 1t is
gratifying that Congress and the govern
msnt have been SO prompt in affordipg
such relief as is now within their power.
Rations have been sent to every availa-
bic point. army tents have been placed
at the disposal Of the sufferers. and q
hundred thousand dollars additional sp-
propriatsd. The Military Committee,
to whom the matter was referred. prefer
not to recommend a continuance Of re-
lief until these people again become
self. sustaining. but to leave that to the
people Of the country. The promptness
with which "the people Of the country"
have yearly responded to appeals for re-
lief from the sufferers by yellow fever.
probably leaves no doubt in the minds
Of the committee that they will not be
appealed TO in vain in this instance.
But should these unfortunate people in
the South DO compelled to ask succor
from the people! The government is
not responsible. 1t is true, for the pres
emit overlooking OF the Mississippi. but
as 1t is 4 yearly occurrence, 1t would
would seem to DO the duty Of the gov
eminent to assist the afflicted States to
take precautionary steps, and guard
against the overflow and the attendant
misery and desolation in the future.
The money it will cost to rebuild the
homes made dssolate. and reclaim the
lands laid waste. il used in time to for.
tify themselves against the torrent,
would effectually settle the question oil
floods. 1t is not expected that the peo'
pie on the banks OF the Mississippi car
accomplish this unaided; neither has the
government tho authority to do 30; bui
the government has the means and Con
gress has the power. The prosperity o.
the country is greater than at any time
10 its history; the revenue is much greater
than is necessary, and n material reduc
ton Is contemplated. The expenditure
OF aportion Of this vast income in pub
lie improvements on the banks OF the
Mississippi and elsewhere would be ap'
proved by the people and be OF inesti'
mable benefit to the country. In time.
past millions Of the peoples money have
been most willingly bestowed upon
few railroad projectors. who in return
have systematically robbed the people
while appeals to Congress to make ap
propriations sufficient for desired public
improvements have seldom met favor
and when such appropriations have beef
made the money has been sparingly ant
reluctantly given. The people OF tn
South have q right to demand Of tn
government relief now and protection IL
the future. and their appeal should b.
made with that earusstness which vii
command recognition.

Press Opinions OF the Edmunds Bill.

Press Opinions or the Edmunds Bill.
New YoRK, March 1.-THE Herald,
editorially. says: We have not absolute
faith in the efficacy Of tho measure TO
achieve all the results at which II aims.
The Mormon problem is quito as diff.
cult as some persons will find the Chi
nsse one; but 1t is q project worth test.
ing before rssorting to the dread ex.
pedisnt Of a military government, and
o 1t rests with the Mormon polyg.
amisis whether the United States shall
be compelled to that final alternative.
The World (Dsnocratic) says: Yes.
tsrday was a great day for buncombe in
tho House Of Representatives. 1t IL not
often that members get q chance to re-
lieve their minds on two such subjects
as ~polygamy and the Chinese. The Chi
nsse bill was only introduced, but 1t was
introduced in q strain which shows what
is coming. The bill expressing horror
of the house Of polyeamy was passed,
OF course; but 1t Is all nonsense 10 10 any
community like Utah q majority Of Its in
habitants wish to practice its acts. Con-
eress to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Polygamy cannot survive many years in
Utah, for the simple reason that Utah
will shortly become socially as we'll ms
politically a part OF the United States,
and whenever II does q majority Of its
people will be opposed to polygany, and
will take measures to step its practice.
There Is NO use In trying to hasten that
condition OF things. Possibly q law
against polygamy in Utah may BIO useful
to aid in seatina q Republican [Camp.
bell is a Democrat who was not elected
to the House. but 1t will have no effect
upon the practice OF polygamy in Utah.
The only salvation OF Mormonism is in
isolation. It has preserved itself for
many years by taking flight from Nau.
VOC to Utah. It can only preserve it
now by another flight into the wilder
ness, and il seems TO lack the spirit for
such enterprise, or. what is much tho
same thing. II has grown rich and lazy.
Haskell, who was the chief champion OF
the bill yesterday, seems to derive great
satisfaction from the prospect OF putting
everybody who opposed his prepostsr.

himself on record as O goose.

Atlanta, Ca, 19.-All the Congress-

There are three republican candidates,
Elk independent democrats, and nine
regular democrats. This shows an ad-
vance in republicsnism and independent
democracy. Down with bourbonism in
all of its shades is now the prevailing
cry in every section, and combined efforts
will be made by republican and independ-
ent democrats to free the state from its
ruinous rule, and open wide the gates for
prosperity in Georgia and the south.

news for anti-Bourbons comes from all

republicans Of this state have come for

liberal minded citizens are going to see
they get them. When the Bourbons be-
come thoroughly satisfied that if the
election is not conducted fairly Congress
will take hand in declaring the result.
it is believed they will act honestly and
not practice their skilled methods of
treachery. The incoming legislature to
be elected in about two weeks, will, from
all appearance, be largely composed Of
independent democrats and republicans.

NEW YORK. 1889.

MI ore people have read THE Sun during the
NA year Just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. No other newspaper
published on this side of the earth has been
bought and read in any year by SO MANY men
| and women.
We are credibly informed that people buv.
read, and like The sun for the following rea.
sons, among others:
-. Because its news columns present in attrac-
| tive form and with TIE greatest possible aeon.
| racy whatever has interest for mankind; the
events, the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom.
the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid
sense, the improving nonsense-alI the news
OF the busiest world at present revolving in
| space.
Because people have learned that in it's re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
Sun makes a practice of telling them the exact
truth to the best of its ability three hundred
and sixty five days in the year, before election
| as well as after, about the whales as well as
| about the small fish, in the face of dissent as
plainly and fearlessly as when supported bv
general approval. The Sun has absolutely no
purpose to serve, save the information of it's
readers and the furtherance of the common
good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper. No
man is so humble that The Sun is Indifferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man is SO
rich that 1t can allow injustice to be done him.
No man. no association of men, is powerful
enough to be exempt from the strict applica
Oh TiStlC ana wrong,
Becausein politics it has fought for a dozen
years, without intermissOn and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted in the recent overwhelming pom
lar verdict against Robesonsm and for honest
government. No matter what party is in now
er, The Sun stands and will continue to stand
like rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses. the encroach-
ments of monopolsts, and the dishonest
schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by
our friends One man holds that The Sun is
the best religious newspaper ever published
because its Christianity is nndiluted with
cant. Another ods that it is the best Repub
lean ewspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half of the rascals out of that party,
and is proceeding against the other half with
undiminished vigor third believe it to be
the best magazine of general literature in ex-
lstence, because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the world
OF thought. So every friend of The Sun dis
covers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking.
1T you already know The SUM- You will OBJ |
serve that in 1888 it is little better than ever
before. If you do not already know The Sun,
you will find 1t to be a mirror of all human &C |

of common sense and imagination; a mainstay |
