DISASTROUS FLOODS.
The Raging Mississippi Causing
Midespread Destruction.

dispatch from Quincy, Ill. says that the
Mississippi River had risen nine inches, and
was higher than ever before known. except
ing during the great flood OF 1851 Rail
communication with the West was entirely
cut off. the tracks of all the roads on the
Missouri side of the river being flooded.
Bridges and tracks were held down By trains
OF fat cars loaded with railroad iron. Nearly
every levee In that section Is broken, and the
loss TO farming interests Will be enormous.
All the mills and factories along the river
front are under water and shut down. Many
hshermen's houses and other small buildings
were floating down the river, and men were
out with boats towing them ashore
Hogs, COWS. and horses could be seen swim
ming in the flood until they came in contact
with some obstacle upon which their bodies
would be mangled. The smaller houses in
the bottoms are wrecked.
Many hundreds of cattle were drowned, so
suddenly did the flood come upon the doomed
farms and pastures Many rowboats and
fat boats have come to Quincy con-
tanning such household effects as the
unfortunate inhabitants of the flooded
country could hastily get together,
farmers with their wives and children finding
this the only means of reaching place OF

filed with refugees A largely attended
meeting was held in Quincy TO provide means

A CHINESE LAWYER,
The First One of His Race Ad
mitted to Practice in America.


Among the recent successful applicants for
admission to the Bar of New York State was
Hong Yen Chang, of Brooklyn. He is the
only regularly admitted Chinese lawyer in
this country. In reply to questions OF the
presiding judge in Poughkeepse, before
whom his application was made, he said be
was born in China, is % years old, and has
been in this country fifteen years He
studied in New York City. He says he was
refused admission at the General Term
in New York City, though the committee
composed of Erastus Ransom and
William Hornblower reported that he
had passed the required examination. He
says that Judge Van Brunt Of General Term
denied him admission for reasons which,
though he asked for them, were not given,
the Judge telling him that the Legislature
allowed the court discretion in the matter,
and all he knows is that the court did not sin
its discretion admit him.
Chang was educated at Yale, studied law
at Columbia College, and was recently natu-
rallied. The Legislature in 1887 passed an
act permitting him to again apply for ad-
mission to the Bar. In appearance he has a
decidedly Chinese look but he speaks excel
lent English He is of medium height, rather
stout, and is a very bright young man. The
Examining Committee said he passed very
creditable examination, and was deservedly
awarded diploma.

FOUR PERSONS SUFFOCATED.
An Aged Woman and Her Three
Grandchildren Perish.

William Llewellyn, letter carrier left his
pleasant little home in Cleveland, Ohio, Sun
day evening, in company with his wife, and
when they returned a few hours later, they
found the house partly consumed by fire,
while in the parlor, surrounded by a crowd
of firemen, lay the bodies of Mrs Llewellyn,s
mother and three children of the family aD
suffocated to death by smoke.
The alarm of fire was turned in about
eleven O'clock. The firemen were not aware
at first that any one was in the building, and
when they became aware of that fact IL vaH
too late to save the unfortunate inmates.
In rear room were found the bodies or
four victims The aged grandmother was
lying on the floor, with the youngest child
clasped in her arms, having evidently per-
ished while endeavoring to make her escape
The boy was in bed, dead, while the four
vear-old girl was on the floor, behind her
crib, where she had fallen in her struggles
for life.
Their names and ages are as follows: Mrs
Elizabeth Lewis, aged sixty eight years; AL
bert Llewellyn, aged six years; Fanny Llewel-
Ign, aged four years, and Nellie Llewellyn,

Sneaker CarIisIe's Address.

Mr. Carlisle began by saying that if pro-
lection was a sound doctrine it should be
tive duties. All taxation was an evil,
and trade should be made as free
as possible, with the lowest tax
that would afford the necessary revenue.
on manufactures, he said it was the manufac-
turing interests of New England which
had the best reason to appeal for
further reduction of the tariff. He pre-
dicted that if this bill became a law and
the effects of tariff reduction were fairly
tested the New England representatives
would come back to Washington demanding
further reduction in the interests of all her
people If they did not other men would be
sent in their places.
New England under a low tariff had seen
prosperity. She had seen all her interests
thrive, but she had not seen vast fortunes &C
read at length from tariff reform speeches
by Senators Wilson and Sumner in
1857 He quoted Senator Morrill, saying
thirty years ago that margin OF ~ per
cent of protection was all that was required.
Resistance offered to-day to the reduc-
ton of duties affording three times the pro-
lection which was then deemed necessary.
Labor the speaker said, was paid out of
its own product. The claim that pro-
tective tariff at the same time reduced the
cost of products and increased wages, was
utterly inconsistent and unsound. 1t was
manifest that the same cause could not
produce both effects - the fact was
that it produced neither. The increase in the
efficiency of labor was due to the increased
efficiency of mechanical DEVICE cooperating
with human labor. The marvellous inven-
tions of this wondrous age were the cause of
the great increase of the inefficiency of labor:
The 1aborer who studies the operations OF
a high tariff cannot fail to find that the
balance is against him. The protectionists
promised a home market all-sufficient for
the consumption of all American produc-
tions. The population would have to be
100. 900 900 before we could consume our own
wheat. Our demand would have to be
multiplied three times before the cotton pro-
duct could be consumed at home. The prom
ised home market could never be secured.
The surplus must be sold at the prices
fixed in the foreign market. 1t was true
that the American product had some
effect in fixing the price in the foreign mar
ket, but the WORLDS supply and the worlds
demand fixed that price. The product of
pauper labor of every class and every CLINE
entered into competition and must be met in
selling in the foreign market.

1t ought to be impossible to hesi-
tate as to which to choose between
Cleveland's proposed treatment of the
surplus question or Blaine's. The
difference is so plain that man who
chooses the latter is likely to be sus-
pected of infirm intellect. This seems
to he the feeling of good many of
the Republican papers of the more in
telligent kind. Rather than be con-
sidered as utterly lacking in ordinary
common sense, they are disappearing
the Blaine and favoring the Cleveland
process. Chicago Times, Ind.

First of all, the national banking
system is by no means necessity
with this country. If every one OF
the national banks OF the United
States should decide to go into volun-
tary liquidation no great shock would
be felt The process of dissolution
would be so gradual that the business
community would hardly feel it..
Private or State banks would come to
the front to take the places made
vacant. The same capital, to large
extent, and the same bankers would
be in the banking business as before.

it assimilates with our own, and good

must, as IL is CeCnn1Cally called. Ii
the public could be educated to Judge
wine by the taste rather than by the
color, there would be a great improve
ment in California wine. In the ef-
fort to secure good color much Of
the wine is spoiled in the fermenting
vat, while this craving for high color
leads to most of the adulteration with
cherry juice and other compounds.
NECESSITY OF CLEANLINESS.
Next to care in fermentation, or, in
fact, OF equal Importance, is cleanli-
ness in the winery. 1t is difficult
task to teach the French, Italian or
German workman in the California
winery the Importance Of the same
cleanliness that he would find neces-
sary in dairy. The slightest care
lessness in cleaning of casks will leave
bits of old matter that will ruin the
fine flavor of new wine. So, too, in
the watts and in the cellar. Nowhere
should the fungus from wine
fumes be allowed to gather,
for it is sure to contaminate the
wine. Yet in many California wine
ries one will find nothing but the
earthen floor, into which all impuri-
ties sink, and are given off in exhala-
tions; the casks will be coated with
dirt awakening the suspicion that what
is foul without can not be wholly clean
within. At the best, wine making
causes much dirt; the juice of the
grapes sticks. to everything; hence
the necessity Of washing out the
winery every evening after the opera
tions OF the day are over. 1t is a safe
rule for the buyer to touch no wine
from dirty wine house or a foul
cellar.
