Several TownS Overnowed.
GREENvuLE, Misc, April 2.--Ths
water is pouring into this place through
q gap 900 feet wide. So far there has
been no loss of life, but the entire city
Is flooded, with the exception of two
streets Three lives were loat near here.
Two white men and negro were coming
to this city from Stoneville In skin,
which capsized and they were drowned.
Reports from the relief boats Hous-
ton, Combs and Titan, now at LaconiA
Circle, confirm the news of the suffering
there, which has not been exaggerated
The break at Austin, Miss, will
overflow the country for some distance
back and will flood the levee to the
Yazoo Pass.
Some of the water will pass down
Sunflower River, but will do but little
damage until it meets the water from
the four breaks below the Arkansas
River.
When they all meet it will overflow
the Yazoo country from the point Of
meeting down the entire length of the
| Yazoo.
| The water at Greenville is now higher
at some places outside of the levee than
in the river, and is pouring back into
the stream. It is also going back
through the Ofutt crevasse into tho
river. This lessons the danger, but the
Easton crevasse is still pouring water
| out over the country.

.'THEY SAY"

Who are the vague, mysterious '"Thoy"
Who always have 30 much to "say'
OF you and mo and every one,
And every thing that's said or donef
Wherever human souls abound
There They" are certain to DO found
And be as careful as we may
There's no escaping their They say"
They say''-they really do not know
"'Tis rumored Mr.. So-and-so
Is soon to we'd Miss What's-her-name"-
No one knows whence the rumor came.
They slyly whisper this and that,
OF your and my AFFAIRS They chat
And keep us busy day by day
Refuting silly things "They say"
"They soy" that nearly every one
Has something wrought or left undone
That's really shocking, yet you know
You must not say who told you 50"
They intimate such awful things
And give to lies such airy wings
That truth itself is led astray
That hearkens to the words They say"
"They say''-Who says 1t? Let them dare
Their personality declare,
Nor let them longer slyly seek
To hide the words they dare to speak.
Why should they parentage refuse
To words which they have put in usei
With whispered rumors let's away
Nor lend on ear to what ''rhey say"

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

The Philadelphla Press boasts that the
new tariff bill is to be a thoroughly re-
publican measure. So far as can be
Judged from what the committee has
thus far done we believe the Press is
correct. The bill seems to have two OBJ
iect. in view. One is to catch votes and
the other to help build up the wealthy
manufacturers who assisted Wanna
maser and Quay in buying the presi-
dency for the republican party.
As specimen of the former may b.,
taken the proposed increase of the tariff
on potatoes from fifteen to twentyfi>.
cents. This is designed to catch far
mer's votes, but if they examine the
facts they will see how little they are
benefited. When the potato crop is good
none are imported and therefore the
tariff is of no account one way or the
other. When the crop is light prices
are high and what few the farmer has
to sell bring good price. If he could
then increase the product to meet the
demand he might be benefited, but mt
matter how high the price or the tariff
not an extra bushel can be raised till
another year and then the crop may b,
large and the prices low.
The only effect of the potato tariff
when it has any effect at all, is to swell
the government surplus at the expense
of those who consume the article, a.
one of the necessaries of life.
An example of the attempt to benefit
the manufacturers is the proposed large
increase in the tariff on tin plate. This
Is an article OF universal use and none IL
made in this country. 1t is proposed tt
tax every workingman's dinner pail, to
clothe child that is not yet born or be
gotten. The object is to make the taA
enough to enable some speculative min
ng companies in the west to work theii
alleged tin mines, and to allow some
Carnegie to roll up few millions at the
expense of the tin consumers of tn.
country.
We wonder how much longer the
working men of this country are going
to allow themselves to be fooled on the
wind of broken promises? Only fe"
months ago the republican stumpers in
this valley shouted themselves hoarse in
telling what great things protection was
going to do for the laboring men if they
would elect Harrison and republican
congress. Well, Harrison and the re-
publican congress were elected. 1t seem
like hollow mockery to ask the work
lngmen what it has done for them
