At the present rate of rains
and floods from the upper Mis-
slssippi country the Mississippi
River commission will have am
plc opportunity for studying the
levee problem for the next sixty
days. We are prone to the opin-
ion that the problem of control
ling the great Father Of Waters
is a more serious one than it
would seem to appear at first
thought, and it would not sur
prise US if ere long some of the
gentlemen would come to the con-
clusion that it will take all of the
surplus revenue of the govern
ment for the next century to eff
fectually control the freaks Of
this mighty volume of waters.

When trouble comes on us in
the south the northern brothers
are our best friends. They are
contributing largely all over the
country, north and east, for the
flood sufferers. $4,000 was raised
IN Chicago in one single evening,
So we should learn to live harmo-
niously together. Contributions
are flowing in from all sides and
the waters still booming.

NJ. G. Harris, editor of the Horse
Shoe, opened up a little pistol
war on the Doranites and their

Elk Senator Dorsey -'' ''Our

columns Of the Washington
press again. He is as loquaclous
as ever, and responds to the touch
of the reporterial spigot upon the

portunity seems to have been in
dustriously cultivated by. the
democratic press with splendid
results. He is a splendid sub

Congress did good day 8
work last week, when it passed
the bill forfciting the land grants
to numerous defunct railroad cor
perations, thereby restoring to
the public domain millions of
acres of public lands made years
ago. The attempt on the part of
the democratic journals to fasten
the odium OF these measures upon
the republican party is, to use a
very expressive vulgarism, ,''thin, .
when it is recollectcd that
majority of the grants
were made by a d Q m
ocratic congress before the
''wah.' The sin, if sin there be
in the matter, 30 far rs it is ap-
plicable to the republican party, :,
is that of omission. as most of
this should have been disposed of
by congress during "reconstruc-
q or" TIE measure is yet to be

The coming negro must differ
from his father and mother, not
in the color of his skin nor the

having more education, lar

The Legislature OF Ohio, whi ch
is largely democratic, has just
passed a civil rights bill which,
in so far as it goes, is an honor to
the heads and hearts of the menu
bers of that body. The vote upon
this measure was a pretty full enc,
and it passed with but one dis
senting voice. A few years ago a
proposition of this kind would
have been hooted, and the propo
ser most likely "booted" out of the
legislative halls of that state by a
body made up as now, politically.
Verify, the world doth move, and
an old dtime "radical''a as the demo-
cratic governor Of a great state
can work wonders in wiping out
old prejudices.
