The freshets of last February are esti-
mated 10 have caused a loss of $jO,0OO,OOO
on the tributaries Of the Mississippi,
chiefly on the Ohio. Professor Shaler,
writing in the Atlantic, in advocacy of
dams and reservoirs on the headwaters of
large streams, to check floods, thinks that
600 dams. with a total surface Of some
thing more than 100000 acres Of water
reservoirs, and a mean depth Of ten feet,
would be.~equired to lower the water at
Cincinnati below the level Of destruction
during such a flood as that Of two months
ago. The cost Of these would not be far
from S30.OOO,OO0. The professors article
revives an old suggestion. As the forests
disappear and the land is plOwed and
ditcbed. the rainfall goes directly into the
rivers. Numerous small dams are needed
70 afford a check and release the water
gradually. The idea ought 10 be cOnsid-

AN INTERESTING ROLL.

1t seems to be all IN the Window family
camp after all. He cannot hope to use his
bar'l with the original anti-caucus, anti.
Window men. In fact, the friends of
Window" openly say he expects to win
back those who were his original sup
porters. The Minneapolis Tribune says
his reasons" Will be manifest
when he arrives, and the Pioneer
Press announces that the legislature is
composed of feeble minded creatures"
and ''small potato fools and knaves" and
zone or two dozen of these ineffably dirty
creatures are waiting to be bought" AS
he ayowedly comes to win back the votes
he has lost, these complimentary epithets
are evidently hurled at Mr.. WINDOWS
original supporters, who have left
him. The bar'l is conceded to be
potential in American politics, but
the GLOBE does not have so poor an opin-
ion of any man who has gone on record as
having left the Window camp, as to believe
that he will care to enroll himself as one of
the ''ineffably dirty creatures waiting to be
bought" The roll call that shows charges
to Mr.. WINDOWS standard after his arrival
will be an interesting historical document
The reasons will be we'll understood.

dence in the b reast of at least one Republi-
can who does not admire the course of his
party associates in the present congress.
Mr.. Stephenson, the Republican congress
manIelect from the Eleventh Wisconsin
district, has contest on hand, and in an
interview with reporter Of the Chicago
Times says he believes that Park his con-
testant is counting on the hope that the
next house being so largely Democratic
the members will look with favor upon a
brother, but he finds comfort in the fact
that there are presidents, at times when
the Democrats were in control before,
where they seated Republicans in con-
tested cases who did not make nearly as
good a showing as he himself will. This,
he says, was done when the Democratic
party wanted help more than it will in the
next congress, when its majority will be
sufficient to prevent it from straining
point to add to its numbers. This COM
pliment to Democratic fairness is certainly
well deserved, and is the more valuable as
coming from the source it does.

Il F4TAE MTSTAKE.

If there can be such term as fatal
mis- axe applied to WINDOWS campaign
since he failed of an election last Tuesday,
it is appropriate in referring to his
eleventh hour trip to st. Panl. He and his
organs announced that he would not leave
Washington. He would remain at his
post of duty" model public
servant, while the state pro-
ceeded to insist on Civ
ing him another six years. lease. But the
state did not ''insist," and at the eleventh
hour when all is Distributing honor-he
finds his post of "duty'' is in st. Paul in
stead of Washington. The anathemas
which his organs have hurled at Mr.. Dun
nell, the resolutions of censure,
by the egregious ass, Pat
Child, can now have Window
inserted wherever Dunnell appears and
they will be strictly appropriate.
Mr.. Window comes at a time when his
presence is a positive damage. He is
known to be equipped with the bar'l appE-
ance, and Loring and N. P. Clarke having
made a failure with the original
barI, he comes with fresh
one to superintend the disbursement.
His vote has dwindled from 70 to As. 1t
will go still lower tomorrow, in the face of
his expected arrival, and no man who has
left him can return under the influence of
WINDOWS presence, without the presump-
ton that he has been overcome by ''rea-
sons" which the nonresident statesman
brought in his grip.
A few may return, but it will be very few
aud the only sensible thing he can do when
he arrives here to-day is to withdraw from
the field altogether. The sneers and in
suits of his friends towards members of
the legislature and to officials who have
been earnestly laboring in his behalf, have
placed him beyond the pale Of hope. His
bar'l is not powerful enough, at this stage
of the proceedings, to save him.
How do ''the friends of Window" like
the insults heaped upon them by the lead
ing Window organ? It styles them
''small potato fools and knaves,'' feeble
minded creatures" and alludes to the votes
he desires as zone or two dozen inefably
dirty creatures who have been waiting to
be bought" These are the compliments
of the season by Window to his friends"

the legislature is not so easily bought after
all, but his opinion is given in the extracts
UBY TIE BAR,L CONES.

When the Pioneer Press announced that
there was 'some one or two dozen of these
ineffably dirty creatures in the legislature
who have been waiting to be bought" the
friends of Window" thought it about
time for him to come on and buy 'em.
They accordingly united in telegram
explaining the situation, and as soon as he
understood the work in hand he dropped
his ''duty' and fastened to st. Paul.
The roll call, after he arrives, will prove
whether the estimate of his friends that the
legislature has lot of ''inefably dirty
creatures waiting to be bought" is true or
not

If Senators PilIsbury and j. B. Gillian
had not heard of the John S. boom until
they read it in the GLOBE they are little
slow. Minneapolis had big delegation
down here on Wednesday last, when they
thought they could save Window. After
the vote, which in reality settled the ques-
ton permanently so far as Window is con-
cerned, the Minneapolis crowd doomed
John S. in great shape. Probably every
one took especial care not to say anything
to Senators Pillsbury and ]. B. Gilillan
for fear of offending them.

WINDOWS VIEW OF THE LBGISLA-
TURE.

There is no shadow of doubt that the
Pioneer Press is the reflex OF Mr.. Window
in its regard for the Legislature. Mr.. Win
dom felt sure of his cleo
ton, because he thought his
friends would buy him through. He
being ''truly good" man, preferred to
delegate this business to friends, while he
kept at safe distance, but the legislature
not being as purchasable as he supposed,
he comes in person to try his hand at
the JOB. Here is the material, which he
announced through the Pioneee Press, as
what he expected to work with:
The choice of United States Senator is COM
mitted by law to the PETTY, FEEBLE-MINDED
CREATURES who usually constitute large
section, and sometimes majority, of either
party in the legislature.
To show that these "petty, feeble mind
ed creatures" can be duly manipulated, Mr..
WINDOWS organ, speaking for its chief,
explains:
The results of Senatorial elections are largely
determined by the success of the artists either
side in playing upon the weaknesses, the foibles,
the prejudices, the credulous imbecilities or the
MERCENARY LTTTLENESS of this class of
SMALL POTATO FOOLS and KNAVES.
Mr. Window further braces up his
friends by his announcement that if they
can muster forty-fve votes he can buy the
rest, and he IS coming to carry out the
contract. Here is the way he has mis- or
gan make the Official announcement:
If Mr. WINDOWS friends have the irnness
and tenacity of purpose to hold together to the
number of fifty, or even forty-fve votes, there is
still good fighting chance that they may win.
There are probably some ONE OR
TWO DOZEN OF THESE INEFFABLY DIRTY
CREATURES IN THE LEGISLATURE WHO
HAVE BEEN WAITING TO BE BOUGHT.

ture, explain why he is coming to st, Paul

MISS -: promised you last spring that 1
would advise you of the fact whenI desired your

that promise [ now respectfully notify you that

The Congressman was SCREEN" one,
the lady an efficient clerk, and she was not
removed, but the incident goes to show
how the spoilsmen feel and exercise the
right of property in the civil service. The
Atlantic article instances protracted
struggle between a secretary and
the head of bureau, over the
question of authority to make ap-
pointments to positions in that bureau
which ended in permitting the head of the
bureau to suggest or object, the secretary
to do as he pleased, finally, in the prem
ises. The following instance is given:
"A woman was named for place in the bu-
reau, the duties of which involved the counting
of money. The chief knew that il the secre-
tary's office there were papers showing that the
woman had been imprisoned in the penitentiary
for forgery; had betrayed to gang of counter
feiters some detectives, to aid whom she had
been Employed; and had been, generally, wom-
an of bad character. The chief called the at
tention of the secretary to these important facts
and to his invitation, and objected to her ap-
pointment. The only concession that the secrs-
tary would consent to make, was that she should
not FIJI the place for which she had been at first
selected. He gave her another position, howev-
er, and afterward promoted herr
The article abounds in like rev.
lations of the badness of the civil
service, and holds that the rem
edy lies in competitive examinations, and
suggests that the spoils system has so
filled the lower grades of the service that
there is lack of material for promotions.
If articles of the character of this could be
universally put before the people there
would be a better understanding of the
civil service, and the overthrow of its cor
ruptlons fastened. The paper in the At
lantie was written last October, but it has
its usefulness, just the same, though civil
service reform bill has passed congress
and become law.

IT is quite evident that Window is bring
ing the reasons" for votes along with
him. Here is the way his Minneapolis
Tribune organ puts it:
There is no good reason why, with Mr.. Win
dom at the state capital on Monday and Tuesday,
his reelection should not be consumnated with
out delay. Being on the ground he can at least
remove from the mind of any candid Republican
any groundless reason which may have hitherto
prevented his acting with the majority of the
party to elect the man who is VIGOROUSLY the
choice OF the Republicans of the state.

IT seems that the reported John S. boom
was so current that it reached Duluth, and
the Bee Of Friday evening contained the
following:
The Window men held secret conference IN
the Merchants hotel the other night, and after
condoling with one another, resolved to trot out
Honest John Pillsbury instead OF Window.
The latter's chances are gone to everlasting
smash, and his henchmen are determined to
EEname the man.

Window can promise offices for votes. lie
