The Republican party suffered a tre- mendous defeat last Tuesday. The next House of Representatives will be over whelmingly Democratic. The Republi- can loss of leaders is peculiarly signili- cant. Mckinley and Cannon are beaten. The greatest Republican strongholds have been carried by the Democrats, who, of course, in so far as the spells of office are concerned, may well claim victory unparalleled in the history of American politics. The philosophy of the event, must, however, be seen from another standpoint. For a number of years the people have been tired of both parties, and the power is given to each. alternately, not as an endorsement of tic political machine to which the power is given, but as a punishment to the machine from which the power is taken In the meanwhile new forces at work. all tending to the formation of new independent party-the party of the people, the party of Labor. But this cannot take a definite form until a clearer conception of actual reuuire- ments shall have entered the minds of the multitude.

Not alone the Tammany heeIers, but the dead rabbits, the plug uglies and Such,like victims of plutocratic rule, rebuked our ungrateful and hypocritcal putocracy last Tuesday in the only way they knew-that is, by voting for Tam many. The ministers feel sore, and rightly. But did they understand what this corrupt" class told them; It was quite plain: "Reform your plutocrats; poor as they make us, ignorant as they make Us, dirty as they make us, criminal as they make us, we are not half so cor. rupt as they are

The wages of the carpet workers in this State are gong down at a rapid rate. In all the departments of this in dustry, with the exception of two, the lowest reduction since 1eN1 is 10 per cent, and in the spinning department as much ae 2o per cent. Ten hours and a half constitute normal working-day What Is left of the wages Is low in pro- portion Children and women abound in the factories, As the inevitable logic of the duality of things, al the other end of the line. this pinching want with its need of humiliation, which the statistics betoken, k counterbalanced by a surfeit and by bourgeois haughtiness and hard heartedness.

MT. Parnelps Land Scheme Not Received
 Favorably by His Friends.
 LONDON, April 2S.-In presenting his land scheme, which he offers as sub stitute for the complicated measure in- troduced by MT. Balfour, MT. Parnell has succeeded in mystifying his friends as we'll as his opponents.
 While they will naturally support a measure framed by the leader of their party, the Nationalist members feel that they are entitled to a full explana- tion of the scheme which many of them now unhesitatingly admit that they do not understand.
 In some respects they are free to say the plan appears to offer fewer benefits than that of the Government, worthless as the latter is as remedy for the ills the Irish tenants are now compelled to bear. The general opinion is that the scheme was inspired by Michael Davitt with a view of minimizing the number of landlords to be dealt with and leading to the consummation of his plan for land standardization.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 22.-The flood situation here has changed rapidly for the worse during the last twenty-four hours, and the condition of affairs was never gloomier or more threatening than at present.
 The old Morganza levee. Pointe Cou- pee parish, on the left bank of the Mis- sissippi. ten miles above Bayou Sara, broke at an early hour.
 This is disastrous. for nine of the richest sugar parishes will be more or less flooded.
 The main Morganza levee stil holds. This was built by the United States and this State at cost of $2OO, 1000.
 Relief steamers have been sent to the crevasse to succor. people in distress and prevent, if possible, loss of life.
 If the river does not continue to fall the water will in due time sweep over the beautiful and wealthy Teche dis trict.
 bar9es have been sent to Pointe Coupee to rescue the people of that parish whose lives are in danger. While it is admitted that the loss will amount to millions, the situation now is a little more hopeful. It is thought that the worst is now passed, and there will be few, if any, moro crevasses. The flood in New Orleans, due to backwater from the lake, is receding.
