The Prohibition AgitRtion-UntOn
Religious Revival.
lsrKorAL TO THE APPEAL. I


GRENADA, Miss, April o. Last
night at the Baptist church, w. @.
Mclean, a prominent young lawyer,
delivered temperance lecture to an
ovorcrowded house. He spoke about
two hours and covered the ground
completely, and from many we hear
golden opinions of his splendid effort.
This question is now agitating the
people OF our town and county, and
we look forward TO an early contest
under the local option law.
A union religious revival has been
going on for some days, and several
meetings are held daily. Our com.
munity is very much interested and
glorious results are being achieved
The municipal election comes off mex
Monday, and we believe the entire
Democratic ticket will be elected

NEW ORLEANS, LA, April 2S.-A
dispatch from Helena, Ark, to the
Picausne says: The river is now above
the highest point reached in 1882.
Both the St. Francis and Mississippi
rivers are now at q stand. There was
a general breakup in the Arkansas
leyees from the break eight miles be-
low here down to where the levee
ends at Old Town, distance of
twenty miles All effort to hold the
remaining parts of the levee has been
abandoned, and the water is now
sweeping through in numerous places,
the breaks ranging from leo feet to a
hall mile wide. Mr.. +. d. Pillow,
president of the Levee Board, says he
thinks the levee from Helena to the
crevasses will stand, but that every
acre OF land subject to an overflow,
from Helena to Laconia, will be
! inundated. The back water is now
coming into the city slowly, but j. will

The Damage at ClRrkSdIale, Miss.
ESPECIAL TO TIRE APPEAL

CLARKsDALE, MISS, April 2S.-In
the APPEAL of yesterday your Helena
correspondent made mistake in his
estimate of the damage to this Sec
ton by the present break in the
levees. The Austin break does not
affect this portion, as its water is car
ried off by Coldwater, Beaver Dam
and other channels to the Tallahatchie
and Yazoo rivers. The Stovall break,
below Friars Point, does not affect us
either, as the water is carried off
through Harris bayou and the Hush
puckana. The levees in front of this
county are in good condition, vigi-
lantly guarded and, unless we have
stormy weather, will unquestionably
hold The Suntlower Oil Company,
at this place, has been very liberal in
furnishing sacks, having sent about
5000 to the river front. While we
deeply sympathize with our over
flowed neighbors, we are glad to make
so favorable report from our vicin-

cn,st Arthur.u WIG words.

The following gems OF sense and wis
dom are CLEANED from the address deliv-
cred by Chief Arthur at the Locomotive
Engineers convention in this city yester-
da,
II you would have name, fame or
wealth, work for them.
Right is the only lasting foundation
upon which man can build.
The workingman OF to-day may be the
capitalist OF 1--WE or ten years from now.
No man has right to anything which
does not come to him through the channel
Of honest requirement.
There is room enough for every man In
country like this, and every man dis
posed to work must be allowed TO find
the chance.
Have an object in life; let 1t be exalted
as possible, and II backed by strong de-
termination aud honest endeavor, believe
me, you will attain It,.
We have no sympathy for, nor co-opera-
ton with, any class or set of men who
base their claims upon the principle that
might is right, and the rich owe the poor
living.
What we are and what we have &C.
complished is the result Of long con-
tinued, patient work, and IL behooves us
10 be extremely cautious now we interest
ourselves where there Is nothing to gain
but everything to lose.
That good labor organization Is a
good thing we maintain, but that heter
ogeneous mass OF men engaged In varlous
occupations can combine interests s0tis-
factorily to form an organization which
shall serve ell, and with equal justice, we
very mp.h doubt.
Much has been said and more written
concerning the antagonism between capi-
tai and labor. TO my mind there IS no
such thing. Between work and idleness
there has never been any feeling other
than antagonistlc, and 1t IL those OF the
latter class who are attempting TO poison
the minds OF the Industrious.
There seems to be generally prevalent
sn idea that all capitalists are rich
whereas the truth is that no great bust
ness enterprise Is owned and controlled
by one man, but by many, each contrib
uting something toward the mighty
whole. will venture to say that mos
men Of thrifty, industrious habits are
capitalists.
Neither the capitalist nor the laborer Ii
wholly wrong. No one will Justify OPP
pressions complained Of by candid and
industrious woIklngmen. The simple
statement OF their case will command
public sympathy and approval On the
other hand, the public 81 large will
promptly condemn the willful destruction
OF property and the interruption Of busl
ness.
am pleased TO know that our relations
with the railway officers are Of the most
friendly character, and trust that nothing
will occur 70 change them In the slightest
degree. The loyalty and devotion
TO principles OF the brothers
employed on the Texas Pacific
and Missouri Pacific roads during the re-
cent strikes have convinced railroad
managers that contract made with the
brotherhood win be kept inyiolate, and
they will rot hesitate In the future q
enter into one when circumstances re
quire it.-[New York Commercial Ad

Respecting the proposed construction
Of a new line between Kanses City and
Chicago by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, President Strong says that while
nothing definite has yet been agreed upon,
the chances were In favor Of building a
line, as he personally was strongly in
favor Of it. He could not see how his
company could possibly get along
without line OF its own from the Missis-
sippi river 10 Chicago, The Atchison
company has been much too conservative
during the last few years, and thus al
lowed its territory to be invaded by most
Of the Chicago and st. Louis lines The
Burlington had built to Denver, and was
tapping the Atchison everywhere, CON
trary TO agreements. The Rock Island
was now engaged in building line
into Atchison territory, aud the Missouri
Pacific had covered Southern Kansas with
a network OF railroads and is doing serl-
Gus injury TO the AtchisOn by reckless
composition. Besides, the Rock Island and
Northwestern roads were nsw invading
the Atchlson company's territory by way
OF the Maryeville cutoff OF the
Union Pacific. The Atchison, not having
an independent outlet east from The Mis-.
souri river, was ut D great disadvantage,
and would not be able TO compete eject.
lively against the other lines until it had q
line of It's own to Chicago and st. Louis
1t was but fair to presume thai
the Atceison, with about 5000 miles
Of road west of the Missouri river
would be able to provide line east OF The
river with sufficient business TO make 1t
pay, no matter how many competitors
were I'm the hpld Mr. Strong admitted
that his company would have preferred Il
secure control Of the Alton road, eithei
by purchase or lease, as that would have
relieved the Santa Fe from building new
liue east of the Missouri and the AltoI
from building q new line west OF th'
river. But all negotiations to that enc
failed on account of the present owner
OF the Alton refusing either to SILL o.
