Can the Floods OF Ohio be Prevented:


Having shown, as we believe.
that the floods in the Ohio have
not reached their ultimate heig hit,
We now propose the above query,
and we feel very certain that ninety
nine out of evey hundred would say
they cannot be prevented, but rs the
remaining one of the hundred We as
sert they can also, we assert that
the prevnction is simply a question
of dollars and cents. and not one of
scientific engineering. 1t it is not
the foolish system of creating res
ervoirs to counter balance those
that have been destroyed oy civil
zation. but is simply affording y
means of ut lizing the reservoir nat
ure has already furnished, and, as
said before. it is only question Of
dollars and cents; but on the other
hand, when we estimate the benefit
to the country of havin2 a volume
of water taken from the Ohio river,
when at flood tide at some conven
lent point-say the foot of ,Letart
Falls-to a cross section of 1880
feet, with velocity of three miles
per hour, and gain retutnei to it
whenever the water in the channel
got below fifteen feet. We may say
if such an effect can be produced.
no price to be paid can be to great
For if we can give assurance of
such results as will forever protect
the country from overflow and at the
same time 0bviate all danger OF less
than ten feet in the channel at the
lowest stage, we confer prieclss
boon on the country that will last as
long as the country lasts.

Kitty Gilmore, the young lady
who was piaeed in vault at
Warren yesterday and taken from
the vault two hours after, by un-

whether she is alive or dead

The Flood Abating.

The river is slowly falling at
Cincinnati, but further down tn Q
Ohio is on the rise, from the
floods in the Tennessee and Cum
bsrland. The cold wave was gen
eral, and at Memphis and points
below the thermometer did not
show much variation from the
morning record in Pittsburg. At
Cincinnati early Friday morning
ahere was a shocking incident of
the flood, in the fall of a block
of buildings, eausing the loss of
. number of lives. Fire and wa
ter combined in the horrors of
the scene.
Congress, on urgent appeals
from Cincinnati, yesterday voted
an additional 100000. A bill
will be presented in the Ohio
Legislature, giving authority to
fill all the lower part of Cincin-
natl above the flood height, at an
estimated cost Of ten millions of
dollars.

A Burning Shame,

Down at Gunnison last week large
and secret ball was given in hall, one
end of which had been partitioned off
for sleeping rooms. A young man who
slept in one of these rooms, and who felt
grieved because he had not been invit-
ed, and had to roll around and suffer
while the glad throng tripped the light
bombastic toe, at last discovered knot
mole in the partition through which he
could watch the giddy multitude.
While peeping through the knot-hole,
he discovered that one of the dancers,
who had an aperture in the heel of his
Shoe and another in his sock to cores
pond, was standing by the wall with the
ventilated foot near the knot-hOle. 1t
was but the work of moment to hold a
candle against this exposed heel until
the thick epidermis had been heated red
hot. Then there was wall that rent
the battlements above and drowned the
blasts of the music. There was wild
scared cry of ''fire,' frightened throng
running hither and thither, and then,
where mirth and music and rum had
gladdened the eye and reddened the
cheek moment ago, all was stal save
the low convulsive litter of a scantily
clad man. as he lay on the floor of his
donjon tower and dug his nails in the

All is not Silver that You Find on a Wild
owls Farm.

A new discovery, recently made,
while some men were digging q well
near Benton, KY, few days ago,
threw the whole community into a fever
of excitement. When down about twen-
ty feet. the diggers struck deposit of
glistening ore in small pieces about the
size and almost the identical shape of a
butter cracker A neighbor brought
some of the ore to town yesterday, and
calling on gentleman who has acquired
some reputation as an expert, laid down
handkerchief full of specimens on the
table with the inquiry:
doctor, what's that worth?''
The doctor examined it and replied:
''Pyrites of iron-it isn't worth a
nickel ton." And he placed some of
it on shovel. held it over the crate,
when it quickly disappeared up the
chimney!

US he comprehended the situation.
'There's widder out in Marshall who
has a whole well full of it! I've bought
half her farm and my son has married
her gal!''
The doctor says that the old man was
one of the most completely broken-up
gentlemen that has come in from the
wilds-Paducah (Ky.) Neus.

Gov. .Hoadly and the Wesl
Tariff.


Governor Hoadly of Ohio has
written letter to::Speaker Carlisle
on the subject of restoring the old
duty on wool. 1t shows him to be
a protectionist in the sense in which
the platform of the Ohio Deocracy
favors protection. 1t appeals to
Speaker Carlisle good sense and po-
litical judgement.
Here is Governor Hoadly's let
ter.
"Some little time since Mr.. Harp
ster, the champion wool grower Of
Ohio, ask me to write you, urging
the restoration of the former wool
duty, in accordance with platform
of the Ohio Democracy. l told !
thought he would find you with well
defred views pro and con on this SUBJ
ject, which no letter from me could
modify or promote. but as he press
ed on me cannot but think it we'll
to advise you of tho grounds upon
which those of US in Ohio who des-
ire tariff reform are able to sustain
our approval of this part of our
platform. "The farmers and plan
tiers of our country pay an increased
price, caused by tariff taxation.
On their utensils, their clothing,
indeed on evey thing they consume
or use, while the prodnct of their la
Dor is measured by Liverpool stand
ards. 1t is of course, necessary that
this shall continue in some degree
a. long as we have any tariff at all.
The only recomp -nse possible
here at the North ia found in tho
wool duty, and it is upon the ground
ofan exception to this general rule
that ,nen like myself are willing al
together to give up as to the rice
duty, sugar duty or the wool duty,
while those who produce rice. sugar
and wool are taxed for the benefit
of domestic manufactures of sugar
pans. p'ows and other domestics pro
ducd by them, but Is an exception
only. I admit, and not other wise.
1t is but justice to our wool pro
ducers that the product of their lab
or and capital should receive some
reasonable compensation for the out
lay they are compelled by law to
make for the benefit of Manufacturers
of articles they consume.
This, it is true, may be said of all
producers, but not all producers have
like the wool growers, been invited
by sixteen years of legislation to in
vest in their business. tits the sud
den and rough disturbance of the
value of product into which they
were invited by their country to in
vest. of which they have right to
complain. "Your own statement of
the methods proper for snch legisla-
ton. your own oppositions to the
shock of hasty disposal o settled In
encourages them to look
to you for aid in their present en-
l respectfully ask for this
large and intelligent class of our
most useful citizens the aid which I
know your high position and Talents
can give them"

The greatest hight Of the flood
at Cincinnati was on last Thurs
day noon-71 feet II inches. This
was ntinued for one hour, when
the waters began to fall slowly,
and tie fall has continued, the
river now being in most places
in its accustomed channel, and
at Cincinnati they expect to have
the flooded gas and water works
in operation Wednesday or
Thursday. Although the loss of
life has not been SO great as would
naturally be expected, m any
cases of accidental drowning are
reported. A relief service has
been pretty thoroughly organiz-
ed, covering the inundated dis
tricts along the river, and is do
ing a great good in relieving
pressing wants, IN the way of
food, clothing and household ne
cessities. A great number of
houses have been carried away
from the bottom lands, and in
some of the smaller towns ma
jority of the dwellings have been
wrecked. 1t seems to be admit
ted the calamity is one Of the
greatest, outside of war and pest
Hence, that has befallen the
country. The New York Her
AIDS weather observer has this
to say:
That the disaster beggars de-
scription may be gathered from
the grim records giving the daily
rainfall as measured by t h e
weather observers since the 1st
inst. up TO Wednesday morning
(the 18th the February rainfall
average over the entire Ohio Val
ley was 4.S9 inches, or an inch
and a baltimore than usually falls
during the whole month of Feb
ruary. In the same period an
averaged fall of 6.31 inches took
place in Tennessee alone, exceed
ing by lis inches the mean
amount for the whole month in
that State
When it is considered that the
Ohio drains basin oi more than
two hundred thousand square
miles in area, and that the esti-
mated weight Of an inch of rain
over single square mile is about
sixty thousand tons, and the
mental effort to rckon up the de- |
vastations wrought by the flood
seems useless.
Now it must be remembered
this great fall of February ram
was precipitated on mass of
snow covering a large part of the |
Ohio Valley, varying in depth
from six 10 fifteen inches.

Literature and Manual Arts.


The mercantile and professional class
es are fundamentally necessary to tn.
best interests of the organism. Wha
society is personally interested in. is no
the development of any class, but rath
or the getting of the good citizen con
tributing his best thought to the good
OF all, irrespective of any class in which
he may have been born, or in which he
may labor; and the good citizen can
come as well from the labor employ
ments as any other. The good citizenis
secured by attaching the individual to
the knowledge, to the thought. of the
race. But knowledge is not confined to
literature, science or philosophy. Lam
guage is an important, but not the only,
key to knowledge. The thought of the
race that has been expressed through
the skilled hand in labor in the arts is
not inferior to what has been expressed
by language. The manual arts no less
than literature embody the culture of
the race. Public education should know
no classes. 1t should aim to so dispense
the fundamental elem ,nts of knowledge
as to open the doors to the social acqui-
sitions of the race, whether in literature
or the arts, 20 all, irrespective of per-
sons. This, public education does not
do now. 1t exults the language en-
ployments. 1t degrades the laber en-
ployments by ignoring them. The
practical conclusion to be drawn from
our present education is, that the person
capable of living by his wits, by the use
of language, is better and more hon.
orable citizen than one who contributes
to the permanent welfare of the COM
munity by the skillful work of his
hands. 1t is my belief that the way to
benefit Cur working classes is to try and
make them better, more productive
to aid them in increasing the
wage-earning power of their labor by
putting more thought into it; and to this
end 1 would have our schools honor
thought expressed by the skilled hand,
rs well as thought expressed by Ian
guage.-J s. c. in Boston Transcript.
