A MORNING paper says that "the
neglect of the Mississippi must be set down
as one of the great mistakes of the
last session of the Forty.seventh Con-
gress."
Also of the first session. The apnro,
priation put in the hands of the River
Commission was not caring for the Missis-
sippi in any proper sense-it was simply
apprOpriating money to be thrown away by
pretentious tinkerers and quacks. If
Congress wants to do the right thing for
the Mississippi, let it try Cowdon's plans.
THE AK has fallen and two prominent
police heads have rolled into the Commits
sioners' basket. The first victim was
Major Brock and the second unfortunate
whose blood dyes Columbia Building is
Lieutenant Eckloff. 1t is given out in
certain quarters that Lieutenant Arnold
has been marked for decapitaton. In our
Judgment it would be o mistake To dis
pense with the services of this officer.
Lieutenant Arnold is not perfect, either as
man or as an officer; but his personal
faults are Of a manly kind and his official
failings are on the side of the law. rather
than against. He is man of approved
courage, and as an officer in command of
the most difficult police district in
the city, the district that includes
Rum Row, the Division and Murder
Bay within its limits, he has made n
reputation for efficiency second to no officer
in the city. The official records will bear
us out in our statement, and justice and
common sense forbid the dismissal of this
officer without reasons much more appar-
ent and important than any that has ap-
peared so far.

judge Wiltshire, late of counsel for NJ G.
Rerdell, was met yesterday by the Critic
ON the Avenue, and after the usual saluta-
tions his late clients name was mentioned.
The Judge, in speaking of Rerdell, said:
He is one of the most treacherous men
ever met He fooled me. | had heard
that he was fooling me. Dorsey was not
fooled in him, for he told me that Rerdell
was iooling me, but l could not believe it.
| told him finally what I had heard, aud
! thought had right as his attorney to
Know If 1T was so. He swore by all that
was good and bad that it was not true
that he had never met one of the Govern
ment counsel or anybody connected with
the Government, in consultation. At one
time it was published in the Star that he
was going TO turn on the defendants.
/ called his attention to the publication
and he denied it most emphatically, /
then suggested to him the propriety of q
denial through the same channel. He
agreed to it, and ], in order to have it
right, wrote the card denying the story.
No one was more surprised than | was
when Rerdell did as he did. Dorsey never
said smarter thing than when he referred
to Rerdell the other day as associate coun-
sell"
''All for dollar and q quarter day.n
chimed in the Critic
"Oh, guess he gets moro than that if
the truth was known" said the Judge.
= He is the most infamous scoundrel ever
had anything to do with"
When asked why he did not come out
with formal statement generating him
self from all blame in connection with Rer-
dell, the Judge said
THAT would be lending dignity to his
statement, and l do not care to do ANYTHING
or say anything that is calculated in any
degieeto give tone to any such man a.

ber remarked that the Hon. Frank Hatton
did not want to go to the head of the De.

just where he is, for the reason that he
knew the weakness of the Administration,

Remarked an attendant at the White
House yesterday:
81 wouldn't be in the mental and physi-
cal condition the President is in for all the
Offices in America. Those black streaks
under his eyes, that paleness in his face up
to his cheek-bones, where there is a fright
ful coagulation of blood, as any one can sec
readily, do not mean anything slight.
Did you. ever notice how nervous
the President is, and how he some
times turns around and around,
hurIiedly and suspiciously? Never did |?
! think this great rush of business on his
hands is wearing him out. But he has re-
Gently learned great deal-not to worry
so much, and that he can't stop to advise
everybody about their local elections and
take into consideration every little detail
of State politics. Mr.. Chandler has been
giving him some advice and helping him,
too. These are matters I've overheard and
noticed around here" he said, looking very
serious.

Last evening the Critic was met by q
woman who appeared to be about twenty
five years ofage. She was dressed In neat but
not costly attire. She was of pretty figure.
with large blue eyes and heavy eyelashes,
and seemed to be possessed of fine suit of
hair. Her general appearance bespoke
good parentage, and her conversation was
OF such character as to lead one to be-
heve she had been brought up in good So
ciety. In fact, her every move was that of
lady, but she was in distress aud wanted
assistance. The Critic asked her how she
came here and where she was from. She
said.
came here four years ago. I was
brought here by Congressman -, of
kentucky, and got n place in the Treasury
Department. His term in Congress ex-
pired, and when he went out of Congress I
lost my place. / have been living as best
could from that day to the present. l have
exhausted every article of iewelry pos
sessed, even ring my dying mother gave

as 1t were, to live as best / can. | have
sacrificed home, relatives and friends-ey-
erything save my honor-in order
to live, and hero I am
walking the streets tonight without
place to sleep"
At this point the woman soDbod and
cried. The Critic asked her If she had q
father living. She said:
81 have not. My father, before / was
old enough to know anything of the trials
Of this world, Joined John Morgan's com
mand and was killed in Ohio. have no
sister, have one brother in Kentucky, but
he objected to my coming here and / fear
TO let him know my wants. / feel like
gong and drowning myself"
She was provided with sufficient means
to secure nights lodging and breakfast.
Where she will get the next the good Lord
only knows. Suffice it to say, hers Is but
the story of hundreds of pure and innocent
women who are brought here by designing
and INSCRIPTIONS Congressman for base and
ungodly purposes.
1t is to be hoped that this short and i'm.
perfect sketch may reach tho eye of her
brother, and that he may, from the out.
lines given, be able TO see the necessity of
coming to this the city of magnificent dis.
tances and disappointed hopes, gather his
sister to his arms and take her back to her

Tho Yellowstone PARK.

Kansas City Journal
Governor Crosby, of Montana, has re-
Gently written Senator Vest a long letter
on the subject of game protection in the
Yellowstone National Park. Tho Gov
ernor calls attention to the terrible
slaughter of the game in that section-as
many MS 1000 ellxs having been killed in
one winter for their skins alone, aud, even
last winter in and around the park, there
were as many as 1000 of these
grand animals killed, to say nothing
of the mountain sheep, antelope,
deer and other game slaughtered in great
numbers. For the purpose of stopping this
the Governor suggests that au engineer
officer of the Army be detailed to report to
the Secretary of the Interior for special
duty as general superintendent of the park,
with general power for making all improve
ments necessary, and with authority to
call upon the military stationed in the
neighborhood for such details of troops as
may be needed in emergencies.
lnasmuch as the GovernMent has set
aside this great tract of land for national
park, and as Congress has provided against
the wanton destruction of the game there
in, it would seem but fitting for the Secre-
tary of the Interior to take some decided
steps in the matter. 1t is morally certain
that if during the next ten years no moro
few years, the magnificent game supply of
this region will be practically swept out Of
existence.
There is no such excuse for the destruc.
tion Of the game animals in this region, as
was the case with the buffalo in Kansas,
Nebraska, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Their vast feeding grounds now furnish
nourishment to countless herds of domestic
cattle, far more profitable tenants, while
the rugged mountains of the great Yellow
stone park can furnish existence to naught
but the elk, deer, mountain sheep and goat
their natural inhabitants.
Even as y matter of National pride, this
park, with its 5000 square miles of terri
tory, abounding in scenery of the most sub.
lime character, with streams and lakes
filed with the choicest of fish, with its
wooded glens and rugged mountain tops
the natural home for the deer, elk, noun
tain sheep and bear, ought to be preserved
inviolate.
What grand field, too, it would present
to the naturalist. The ponderous bison
the stately elk, the graceful deer, and the
agile and surefooted mountain sheep, could
be seen and studied in their native haunts
1t is to be hoped that the suggestions o
Governor Crosby will be acted upon, when
as the american Field says, sit will soor
become in reality what its name indicates
and what it was intended it should be; aud
| this heritage of natural wonders, the wilt
romantic scenery and rugged grandeur o
| which stand unequaled in the West, vii
| be retained to Americans for all time in it
| true character"

THE betrayal of Olmstead in the house
of his friends would make most interest
ing chapter in current political history, 1t
was not unlike the tactics employed by the
reformers of Garfield's Cabinet to prevent
the confirmation of William L. Chandler to
be Solicitor General. The inside history of
that affair has never been fully told, but
interesting as everybody knows it to be, it
is mild and moon-like to the narrowing
details ofthe treachery that beset Ohm
stead, and when it is writ
that the very men who howled about
treachery in the Chandler matter are the
cut. throats in the Olmstead fasco the most
incredulous may find it exceedingly easy
to believe in the insincerity of the average
politician. 1t was difficult for us to con-
cieve that there was so much cowardice
and ingratitude, even among professional
politicians, as was developed by the genial
and astute gentlemen of the Republican
National Committee in their treatment of
their late secretary, but the conduct of
certain other &. and R. gentlemen in the
Olmstoad matter leads us to believe that
the depth of meanness may not even yet be
fully sounded, or, at any rate, that the
soundings have not to date been recorded.
