SO LONG as our river system annually de-
stroys life and property in the Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and carries. terror to hun
dreds of thousands ofSpeople, y equaled only
by that caused bypestilence and famine, and
so long as these great calamities can be
averted by the use Of money, why should the
surplus revenue be SO fearful to contemplateF
If Canada poured tigers and lions into our
northwest to terrify and devour our people,
the surplus revenue would DO drawn on for
bounties for the destruction of these enemies
Of mankind. Why not chain the flood by
every method known to engineering skill {
Why not organize the unemployed laborers
of the country, black and white, into an
army, and march them against the enemy
which now deluges the cities and the farms
along the Ohio river and its tributaries
What will not labor, fed aud paid, accom-
plish? What greater work can this genera
ton accomplish than to mako our great water
system tho servant of internal commerce in
stead of the cruel and furious enemy of al
who live along its fertile banks? A grea
scheme is what is needed, and a popular en-
thusiasm created that will count easily -
tanned revenues for its execution blessing

FoRp's-"THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO"
In rendering "The Marriage of Figaro"

many they have already won. The opera is

mar as the Countess Miss Stone as Susanna.
Mr.Whitney as Figaro. Miss Phillips as Cher
ubino Miss Burton as Marcellino, Mr.. Morsell
as Basilio and Mr.. rockingham as Antonio.
The opera afforded the best opportunity yet
had Of comparing the voices and styles Of
Miss Ulmar and Miss Stone. In the famous
letter duo tho pure liquid tones Of Miss
Ulmar and tho more robust silvery soprano
of Miss Stone blended in exquisite harmony
and richly deserved the encore they called

Tonight, st. Valentines, the charming

There is fitness in such a performance on
