Something About Recent and Historical
Floods of the Mississippi River.


At Hannibal City, NO., the Mississippi Is
exactly one mile wide at ordinary level "be-
tween ferry stakes" as the riparian residents
say. At Keokuk, la, the width varies sud
denly. as the rapids cause a sudden widening
and narrowing-the river making great U
towards the west -and that city is usually
assumed as the head Of the .ower Mississippi,
geologically speaking IL IL only below those
rapids that we hear often OF such mighty
floods az those which have lately inundated
400 square miles of Illinois und Missouri, and
still threaten destruction t. all the low land
dwellers between Memphis and the Gulf.
Above the rapids, at which Prophet Joe
Smith located his religious capital, Nauvoo,
with the idea that wing dam would he con
structed and q great manufacturing city
built, the river occasionally rises high; but
the low lands are So narrow and Dor
dering bluffs so high that little damage Is
done and the world hears but little about 1t.
Below that point, about once in seven years
on an average, there Is food like those We
read about in eastern mythology. That Of
1851 surpassed all before it Of which white
men have records, and the recent food outdid
that Of 1851. OF course the Indians have a
tradition of much greater floods, and it Is
quite likely they are correct; for the Mound
Builders" works show plainly that they had
to locate on higher ground than the riparian
residents of today. These immense spring
floods are generally duo to a late thawins Of
the snow and ice Of the far north, contem-
porary with or followed Immediately by
general rains Fortunately the sfiluents OF
the Mississippi drain so many ATTITUDES aud
elevations that they rarely pour in their full!

nomination for president; his letter Of
Feb. Ii, i'll which he declines; May II,
another decline. and early in June sew
eral other declines. We have also
within range of our eyes cablegram

states that j. G. BLAINE, who is at

he would accept the nomination OF not.
An able-bodied and vigorous prevari-

THE SUBWAY MATTER.

This matter of subway conduit for
electric wires is, after all, very simple
when you look at it in its essentials.
The facts are simply these: A thor
oughly practical system of subways eX-
lists; a proposition is made to provide
st. Paul with that system; adequate
compensation for the privilege is af-
forded in the offer to place, care for and
maintain the city'S wires in the con-
duit.
This is the case of the subway COM
pany. 1t seems eminently sound. On
the other hand, the various companies,
telegraphic, telephone and electric, OBJ
ject to the subway idea on the score of
expense. There does not. however,
seem to be any reason why that should
be considered an adequate objection.
The wires which cucumber the streets
are VIGOROUSLY dangerous, as we'll as
unsightly. Not only do they hamper
the efforts of firemen in case of fire,
and thereby become the exact cause of
the destruction of much valuable prop
erty, but the electric light wires are
positively dangerous. Instances of their
death-dealing qualities have not been
lacking in this city. 1t is, therefore,
admittedly important that the wires
should be disposed of. The subway
offers the only solution of the question.
The consideration of expense to the
companies should not enter into the
problem.
1t is of vastly more Importance that
the convenience and safety of the whole
people should be consulted than that
the dividends of the stockholders in the
various companies should increase.

in their ears, and the noble sentiments
OF manliness and independence which
they inculcate in their hearts, cannot
fail to synpathize deeply with their
downtrodden fellows OH the neighbor-
ing island. They only want occasion
to voice their sentiments, and when it
comes, as it did recently, they speak in
words unmiStakabie.
The Tory margin in parliament is
growing smaller with every election,
for with the passing of every day the
disgust with Tory methods grows deeper.
But yet little while and that margin
will be wiped out, and then the day for
which the party of liberty has hoped
and prayed will be at hand. Then
GLADSTONE, the Incompatible, can rest
conteR. with the noble rounding off of a
grand career.
Nothing can check the growing senti-
ment i'll favor of fair play. Time alone
is necessary to develop it to the point
where it will be irresistible. Patience
now. as PARNEI.L points out, is all that
is needful, for the final outcome is as
Sured.

SiilCdSO
l.. P. Hunt is the editor and proprie-
tor of the Daily Free Press, of Mankato,
Mimi, and, being an enterprising
journalist, he was DESTROYS of attending
the convention. He accordingly wrote
to Editor r. w. Patterson, of the Chi
cago Tribune, who is chairman of the
press committee, for ticket, and was
assured by that gentleman that he
would be provided for. MIR. Hunt ar
rived in Chicago On Monday and i'm
mediately looked after his convention
ticket, but. to his dismay and chagrin,
was informed that his name had been
taken off the list and there was no
ticket for him. A wordy war then en-
sued between the Chicago and Mankato
editors, which barely escaped being a
knock-down for Minnesota, but better
Judgment prevailed and the Chicago
editor is still alive. Mr.. Hunt, however
was determined to humiliate his OPP
ponent, and, as he left the editorial
sanctum, he haughtily announced:
From this time forth the Chicago Tri-
bune is scratched off the exchange list
of the Mankato Free Press, and you
need not expect any further favors from
me, sir" OF course, Mr.. Hunt was only
jOking.
