DO LEVEES PROTECT?

1t will not do to answer this ques'
on too confidently in the affirmative
because the levees have protected the
Greenville Levee District, for they
have not entirely protected the upper
District on the east side, and the west
side has suffered very materially
Upon a close examination, however, it
is pretty fair to assume that good
levees afford good protection, while
weak levees afford insufficient protec-
ton. For hundreds of miles on the
east bank of the Mississippi river
north of the Yazoo, they
have this year afforded perfect protec-
ton to vast sections of the best lands in
the world. The result is plain to all.
The good levee system in that District,
has sent the price of land away above
what i. is on the other side of the river.
A plantation on the river in Washing
ton or Bolivar county, with not one
particle better soil than that across the
river, will sell for fully one-third more.
So much for the protection afforded by
good levees.
The Greenville District serves to
illustrate what the other Districts
might do, and is positive proof of
what the United States could do with
the whole river. That is not the least
of the services rendered by the sturdy
levee men in the Greenville District.
Col. w. A. Percy the great sage and
authority on all levee matters, with
the unfailing aid of other kindred
spirits, has shown this great Govern
ment what can be done with this
Valley, which is to this Continent, what
the Nile is to the Old Continent. They
have proved in the face of the severest
tests of two decades, that the Missis-
Sippi river can be controlled and the
Valley lands protected from inunda-
ton. If that can be done, no one can
doubt that the navigation can be i'm
proved, until the great river will be
the cheapest way of transporting
freight and the natural outlet of the
great area of country it drains.

Fearful Slaughter by the Military
The Rioters Sack the Residence of
a Military Officer and Grow More
DemonstratiVe.
MILWAUKEE, May 5.-The latest
reports from Bay View show a much
more serious condition of affairs than
at first reported. The crowd of rioters
commenced to form at $50 and moved
towards the mills. Six military com
panies were marched out of the
grounds and stationed in front of the
works. and as the crowd approached,
paying no attention to the orders to
halt, the dread word of "6re" WAS
given, and a volley of bullets was
poured into the crowd. The rioters
beat a hasty retreat, when it was
learned that five lives had been sacri-
iced and several persons wounded.
One OF the killed was a school how
who had his school books under his
arm when he fell.
While the trouble was going on at
Bay View a large crowd of socialists
and strikers assembled at Milwaukee
Garden, on the west side. and were
preparing to carry out a programme of
riot and destruction. A platoon of
sixty policemen and three infantry
companies were dispatched there and
cleared the premises. The mob then
re-assembled and proceeded to Best's
brewery, and word is just received at
military headquarters that a disturb.

Over three feet. A little miss like
that in a stage of extreme high water

Remarkable Story of the Advap-

R~emarkable Story of the Advep-
lures OF German Doctors Bride

German physician who had held manv
prominent positions under the Austrian
government, was married to Bertha
Won Bleberstein, whose family had, for
three hundred years, been in possession
OF the Duchy of Friedland. The fact
that the lady had previously been an
inmate of an insane asylum, the doctor
says, was concealed from him, bat after
six years OF married life she became
once more insane and was placed in a
retreat in Silesia.
DR.. Lobscheild left Germany and.
after travelling in various countries.
came to America and settled at
Youngstown. He had contributed
constantly to the support of his wife,
and until today supposed that she was
still In an asylum. This forenoon,
therefore, ne was greatly surprised at
receiving a call from her at his Office,
she having arrived at Youngstown
early in the morning. DR.. Lobscheild
says that she is still Insane, and he will
take steps to have her returned to
Germany.
Mrs. L%obscheid, however, denies her
husbands statements. She admits
that she was insane for a short time
after the birth of her child, but saws
that she is now mentally sound and
came here after her son, aged seven
teen' whom her husband kidnapped

LAMAR And THE PUBLIC LAND
THIEYES.

IHlE To-
Before Mr.. Lamar was made Secre,
tary Of the Interior, that Department
seems to have been run almost ex.
clusively in the interest Of the public
land sharks. A well posted authority
declares that during the last year OF
the Republican administration, the U.
S. Government was cheated of 10000,
900 acres of public domain, by rail.
road and other corporations, without
the authorities making the least at
tempt to protect the interest of
the people. Indeed it is gener-
ally believed that the Interior
Department winked at the great
frauds, if it did not itself connive at
them. Since MI. Lamar has been Sec
rotary of the Interior, he has vigilant-
ly guarded the interests of the Gov
eminent, and is mercilessly exposing
the land sharks. He has exposed
some of the most gigantic and Gun.
ming schemes of fraud, and the law
which was formerly viewed with
contempt by the thieves, is now re-
garded with terror.
A writer on this subject gives these
facts
"Some Of the companies have re.
ceived indemnity for lands occupied by
homestead and presumption settlers,
and subsequently contested the set
tiers rights, had their entries Cancelled,
and the Identical land for which they
had previously received indemnity
certified to them, thus giving them the
lands in place and also indemnity for
the same lands. Not only this, but
some of the companies have received
thousands of acres more than there is
in the granted sections throughout the
entire length of their roads. They
are organizing, arming, and tquipping
for a raid not merely upon Commits
sioner Sparks, but upon every other
officer who stands between them and
the public lands which they so much
covet. They have held sway in the
Interior Department and controlled
land grant matters by ways and tricks
with which they seem familiar, until
they have secured wrongfully and with.
out a shadow of authority of law
patents for more than 20,000.000 acres
of public land. To hold these ill-got-
ten lands is now their great Object and
aim. They cost them nothing, except
by way Of incidental and contingent
expenses. They do not belong to them.
as an honest adjustment of the grants
will show"
The above proves how necessary is
a faithful and honest administration of
affairs. At the rate the public lands
were being stolen, in ten years all
would have been gone. So much of
the public domain has been already
and bought up by spectators
it is twice as expensive
for actual settlers to get public land as
ought to be. 1t is highly probable
that if a Democratic administration
had not been elected, the best portion
of it, would have been in the hands
of thieves, before the next Presidential
election.
By this faithful service, Mr.. Lamar
has earned the gratitude of the people
everywhere. The miserable extremists
of the North have not hesitated to
taunt him with his Southern senti.
ments, but the bitterest of them are
forced to acknowledge his integrity
and capacity. Even the mincing way
in which some of them do that, is
triumph enough for Southerners.

Mr.. DAVIS is great in the t~enacity
with which he sticks to a position once
assumed. While we place this down
as n of his characteristics, we must
say fatty and pointedly, even If it con.
tradicts him, that no respectable num-
Der OF intelligent Southern people be-
lieve that this great Government is a
limited partnership. If it was found
ed on that principle in the start, it has
grown bravely beyond 1t.
