HE nGRANp OLD MANI"

Age "does not dim the brilliancy of
powers, such aslGLADsToNE's, nor does
custom stale the infinite resources OF
premier so patriotic and well meaning.
There may be young mon in Britain
who sneer at the old minister's procras-
tination and alleged want of activity,
but tho honor of tho British empire is
scrupulously.maintained by MR.. GLAD
STONE, and with that discretion born of
age, he does not propose to resort to the
terrible ultimate OF war until all over
lures for peace have been exhausted,
and his country is ready at word TO
stand against the world.
All honor to such man. He has
now filed out the measure Of his three
score years and ten and tho majority of
his gray hairs have whitened in the
public service. The younger and war.
like elements Of the premier's empire
have grown impatient at what was
termed his tilnidity and have sought to
drive him to war, but he has hewn to
the line OF patriotism, has avoided UNI
seemly expressions, has held wisely
the peace of England above all other
considerations, and while preparing for
war on a large scale has been most pa
ciflc and diplomatic in his utterancos.
The credit of $55,OOO,OOO voted to him
almost without discussion, and on his
personal utterances day before yester-
day, is most astonishing appreciation
of his conservative course by the solid
body of the English people and is an
other star in tho crown of a patriot and
statesman.
Through all this treublous period OF
England's fortunes Mr.. GLADSTONE
has been cool, consistent and firm, and
1t is doubtful II any other Englishman
could so admirably have conducted AT.
fairs as this great, conservative com.
moner. Without the dash and daring
and brilliancy of DIsRAELI, he has
been sustained by patriotic and eau
tious solidity that England will likely
appreciate in few months, while to tn,
long historical line of evidences o
tho value of"old men for council" h,
has added one OF the strongest of illus
trations. Itmay be at times popular I,
sneer at the caution and procrastlnatiol
of age, but when the times that tr,
mems souls arise, the conservatism anC
doliberation that walt upon gray hair
are the jewels of diplomacy and the safe
guard of the state.

UIeh water i'm Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, April IS. - The Ca
zette's Fulton, Arkansas, special says:
The river has been steadily rising for
six days and now marks 80 feet on the
government gauge and is still rising
half an inch an hour. The whole coun-
try along the banks is inundated, and
people with their stock are fleeing to
the highlands for safety. The lower
portion of Fulton is submerged and a
repetition of last years disastrous flood
is Inevitable. Fields, yesterday green
with waving corn, are now q wilderness
of water. The loss to stock is very
heavy. The Iron Mountain railroad
has several hundred men working on
the bridge here, trying to save it from
being borne away by accommodating
DRIFT. Trains in the Arkansas river val
ley are considerably delayed by the
OVERLOOKING of portions of the plateau
above Little Rock and several private
leveos have been broken, but the disas-
ter is only local in character. The water
is now falling from Fort Smith down.

ST, Louis, April 2S, 6 p. m.-The Lin

flames have appeared above the base
ment, where the fire caught, but serious
apprehensions are felt that they will be
drawn into the elevator shaft and the
hotel be destroyed. The entire fire de-
partment ison the ground and the most
desperate efforts of the firemen are be-
ing made Ia confine the fire to the base
ment. The destruction OF the building,
however, appears inevitable.

ST.. LOUIS, April 2S.-The Lindell hotel

was discovered issuing from the cellar
over the white-washer'sroom and pour

annunciator wires, and which runs from
the cellar to the upper story. Up this
box the flames rushed with great fierce
ness, but fortunately they were soon
suppressed and by desperate efforts the
flames were confined to the cellar
Holes were chopped through the Office

THE Atlanta Constitution is out in a
double-leaded editorial urging the pres
ident to visit Atlanta next month and
thinks he desires to do so, but is only
restrained by conscientious scruples as
to the deserving of his posi- of duty. The
HERALD agrees with the Constitution
in the idea that president, like any
other over worked man, needs recres-
ton. II he should visit Georgia moth
ing would be easier than to "swing
around the circle" and take Texas in
his orbit. His ovation would be equal

MARSHALL, April 2s.-[Special. THE
market-house building, heretofore con-
tracted by tho city,is the property of pri-
vate parties living at Shreveport, Louis
lana. The city has for a number of
years rented IL at an annual rental of
$500 per annum, and then sub-let the
stalls and other market privileges to the
butchers and others. BY this means
the city realized the snug little sum of
500 net profit per annum. At late
meeting OF the council the market
house committee were instructed to re-
new the lease of the house Tor another
year. When 10, 1t was discovered
that the Carter Bros. had torestalled
their action by renting the building

driven TO this action In self defense;
that while the city was charging them

house S25 per month for the privilege oil
doing business there, they allowed 9TH
ers TO pursue the same business in other
places in the city, by ,simply paying So
per month occupation tax; and now that
they have secured the market-house
they do not propose to pay any more

the HERALD to see with what alacrity {
and enthusiasm its recent utterances N |
the direction of greater railroad facil' ties
for this city have been taken up fsy the |
towns and localities TO the wes,e opus.
The HERALD insisted that o,nly ,,glta-
ton was necessary to secure the co-op-
Grafton of these desired localities, and
that Dallas, by striking now, could eb-
tain the assistance NEEDED nom all the
communities west of us. Since these
articles have speeared in the HERALD
all the towns mention cd, such "a Ora
ham, Decatur, Bowie, Montague. etc.,
have, through their accredited organs,
spoken, and in no Uncertain terms, and
arc unanimously ca the conviction that
, whatever Dallas in fairness wants from
these people can be easily and speedily
secured.

THE Williamson County Sun speaks
of linen weddingas applied to the cole
bration of the 35th anniversary of mar
rled couple in Georgetown. This is q
new wrinkle between the silver and
golden wedding; but the unitarian
idea is very obvious in selecting linon
AS the material from which thepresents
should be made. A pair who have lived
together so long have doubtless worn
cut their linen by the time the 35th an
niversary rolls around.
