The floods at Cincinnati at late hour last
night showed no sign of falling although the
water was higher by several feet than it was last
year. The loss of property will doubtless be
great; but at present that sinks into inslg-
nifcsnce before the suffering and peril which
thousands of the inhabitants OF the ONO Vaiioy
are enduring. 1t will DO seen by dispatch from
Mr.. Murat Halstead how appalling the situation
is. His appeal for relief will doubtless be gen.
erously met by the people in the East, who never
fail to respond to such calls upon their pockets
and upon their sympathies. 1t will be noted
that assistance which is promptly given is twice
blessed

Leon Chotteau addressed meeting OF lead
inpnroyision merchants in this city yesterday IN
regard To the action of France in excluding
American hog products. He advises against
retaliation on our part as useless, since French
wines could be sent to the United States byway
of England. Official inspection before the pork
leaves this country, he thinks, would convince
France that our goods were In proper condluon.
Perhaps it would, but probably it would not.
Official inspection here would entail heavy e1-
pense on the Government or the trade whlcn
ought not to be necessary. Our hog products
are untainted The French Government knows
that well enough. None are so blind as those
who will not see, however, and 1t Is likely
enough that after we had our boards OF inspec-
ton nicely in operation France would still re-
fuse to be convinced

Fer an amiable and perfectly sincere man,
MIR. Morrison seems uncommonly RULED by the
questions put to him by Senator Folger and
othersin regard to his tariff BILL Although he
himself cannot tell what the effect of it would
be. vet he persists in saying it is perfectly sim
Die measure and easily understood. If criticism
ia so unpleasant to the chairman of the ways
and Means Committee why does he not speak
out frankly, and say that his bill ought not to be
taken so seriously, as it is only catch-vote
measure and never was really intended to pass
If the bill to lengthen lock No. 46 on the Enc
Canal, so that two boats may be put through 1t
at once, means only what the face OF 1t says,
probably no one will seriously object to it; but
If it is step toward treating the other seventy
locks in the same mannerit deserves more care
full consideration than 1t received in the Assem-
bly, yesterday. The canal counties naturally
would push it heartily; but loud negative
would probably be heard from the back counties.
And certainly the amount of money which such
q scheme would call for would be so large that
all economical legislators might well hesitate
before voting to appropriate it.

BASE BALL.
The Game for the Championship at the
New Union Grounds at st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, April 2O.-A remarkable
game Of base ball was played this
afternoon between the Chicago and
st. Louis clubs of the Union asso-
citation. 1t was the opening cham
pionship game on the new Union
grounds, and it was notable for the
reason that between 10000 and 1000
people sat through cold drilling
rain to witness 1t. The weather
was 80 bad that it was only
possible to play six innings, the rain
soaking the ball through and making
the field too slippery to play upon.
The Chicagos had one-armed DAILY
pitching and although Dunlap, Glea-
son and Rowe. the veterans of the
home team. hit him hard, the young
sters could not touch him, and he
struck out no less than ten of them.
The Chicagos played very good
game and their defeat was as much
due TO bad luck as anything else. Their
work IN fact impressed the crowd with
the belief that the ST. Louis club is not
to have a walk-over f5r the Union as.
