The New York Herald analyses
The chances Of Cleveland aud Hill
tor the Presidential nomination rs
follows:
Mr.. Cleyeland's advantage lies
in the fact that he originated the
policy OF tariff reform, which was
recently SO signally v~indicated.
BY common consent he has the
political right To carry IT TO its
logical issue.
His ADVANTAGE is that, while he
has the sentiment OF The people
with him, his friends are deplora-
bly, lacking in organization and
push. They depend on this popu-
lar sentiment rather than leader
ship or g%eneralshIp to see them
through. They have altogether too
little concentration of purpose and
action, and are loose jointed and
lncOherent.
Gov. Hills disadvantage on the
other hand, is that while he has
very decided views on The tariff,
they are not as widely known. His
duties as our State chief have not
called for any conspicuous utter
ances on tins subject.
He enjoys a very decided advan.
tage, though, in that he is by ma
ture and experience an expert or
gauizer. His control of New York
State is absolutely perfect in all Its
details, He is as well versed III
politics as in the law, and is IA bold
and dashing leader aud quite able
to create a counterplot to the plot
Of ''our friends, the enemy"
There are two elements of this
problem, however, winch must not
be lost sight of.
(l.) The Democrats are everlast-
ingly right in this whole tariff bust.
ncss, They represent the interests
Of The laborlug classes and ought
10 elect their man.
But badly organized right is apt
to lose when it contends with
splendidly organized wrong. II
isn't enough to have truth alone
or your side in politics it is truth
md vim, truth aud push, truth and
tirst-class leadership which force a
surrender and win Il victory.

The great body of our people
care a picayune Tor mere
party ambitions. They want steady
work, low taxes, living wages, IL
booming market and such a degree
national prosperity that every
can have his shate of il. The
party which keeps these ends in
view is bound to get their votes.

TO EXPLORE alaska.
Frank Leslie's and Judge WIN Send an
Expedition This Summer.

Expedition This Summer.
NEW YORK, March 14-An expedition
is now being organized in this city to
add TO the geographical knowledge of
the world facts about Alaska. The
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper
and Judge Publishing company is at the
head of the scheme, and is now making
the necessary preparations for equipping
the expedition suitably. The primary
object of this search for information is
to penetrate the country lying between
the Copper and Yukon rivers, in central
Alaska a stretch of many thousands of
square miles never yet trod by white
man.
f. H. Wells, a western newspaper
writer, will be at the head of the expe-
dition. His experience consists of a
campaign last summer in which he trav-
eled 2,000 miles in the wilds of the Brit
ish Northwest territory. He has also
mapped out for the United States gov
eminent a number of rivers in central
Alaska and previously unknown. An
other member of the expedition will be
Alfred B. Schanz, formerly assistant as
tronomer of Allegheny observatory, and
for the last three years a New York
newspaper man.
The officers of the United States coast
and geodetic survey at Washington are
interested in the plans for the explora-
tions and will give all possible assistance.

vey, will provide transportation for the
party on the government steamer Pat
terson as far as Chilkat, Alaska.

THE MISSISSIPPI
Expected to Reach the Highest
Point on Record.
Immense Volumes Pouring in
From Its Tributaries.

Every PrecautiOn to Prevent the Inn
pending Disaster Being Made BY the
GOVernment-BreaI1s in the Levees on
the Arkansas Side Considered Inevita-
ble-Residents of the Tensas Basin
Warned-FIOod Notes.
New ORLEANS, March 14.-A dispatch
from Memphis Wednesday evening said:
The flood outlook here to-day is more
discouraging for the alluvial country
than at any previous time. All.the local
streams from the Indian nation eastward
are pouring out immense volumes of
water, under the 'fuence of from two to
three inches of rain during the past two
days. Here the river level is twenty six
feet and one inch above low water mark,
and within three inches of the highest on
record.
The st. Francis basin, opposite, is still
dry, except in the low places, but the
stream are full, and the backwater
slowly encroaches upon the low ground.
Levees on the Mississippi side, along the
entire Yazoo front, still hold firm, and
no danger is imminent at any point as
far as known. The vigilance of all inter
ested it is expected will keep them intact,
and save the 900 square miles in the
delta from impending disaster.
Government Aid,
Secretary of War Proctor has tele-
graphed here to Capt. Sears, of the en-
gineers, allotting $4,000 for use in
strengthening the levees in the Third and
Fourth districts between here and the
gulf. Boats and their crews and all
other means in the hands of government
authorities will be used to protect the
levees and interests of the people The
boats are all now in commission. Every
effort is now making by the government
forces to stop the break at Sappington's,
on the Arkansas, and as that crevasse is
in slack water the chances are largely in
favor of its early repair. The feeling,
however, is that the levees on the west
side of the river and below the mouth of
the Arkansas will be compelled to go
down, and that the Tensas basin, with its
4,500 square miles, will be inundated.
At Arkansas City.
Wednesday at Arkansas City, below
the mouth of the Arkansas, the river
was six inches above the highest water
ever known, and at Greenyille, on the
Mississippi side, it was a foot higher,
but feeling of security prevails in re-
gard to the levees on the Mississippi, as
they are all high, firm and strong, and
the outer river front is being carefully
guarded.
The river landings above here, hence
to Cairo, are so covered with water that
boats are unable to land except at a few
places.
Trains Running Through Water
The trains between here and Louis
vile, at the Danville crossing of the Ten
nessee river, have been running through
water for mile or more on each side,
and few inches more of water will put
out the fires in the locomotives.

The sappington Crevasse.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, March IA
Wednesday night a crevasse was threat
ened in the levee opposite the Eureka
hotel, directly in front of town. The
levee began to slide, and it required a
long, hard struggle to save it. A large
supply of sand bags was on hand, how
ever, and by using them literally the
break was stopped and the place
strengthened

IL will not widen.
The water is passing off into tho
bayous back of and below town.
1t is barely possible that unless there
should be other breaks the water is as
high in town as it will be. From Clay

Witness to Testify.
= WASHINGTON, March IA. The Taulbee
tvTp est began at o'clock Wednesday
e5te.noon at the Sixth precinct station
house, where Kincaid was confined
when first arrested Ex-Doorkeeper
Samuel Donelson was the first witness
called, and related how on Feb. % last,
he met Taulbee near the south steps of
the capitol that go down out of the
ladies' entrance ON the house of repre-
sentatives side of the structure. Taulbee
was coming out of an adjoining com
mittee room, and on coming toward
Donelson said he wanted to see him.
Thereupon they walked together, and
when they had descended toward the
lower floor two or three steps, Taulbee
stopped and said:
''Sam, what did you want of me"
Suddenly on the landing in the rear of
Taulbee voice was heard to say:
you can see me now," followed an
instant later by pistol shot.
"Taulbee cried out, 'Ohp and sank
down | exclaimed: Judge, for Gods
sake don't fire again. and Kincaid de-
sisted. had previously seen Kincaid
standing Just in front of the ladies room
of the house. Neither Kincaid nor Taul-
bee mentioned the name of the other in
my presence. had an appointment
with Taulbee. When | met him he did
not appear nervous or apprehensive of
any danger, and he turned but once when
descending the stairway"
Mr.. Donelson was the only eye-wit-
ness to the shooting placed on the wit
ness stand. In fact, with the exception
of Kincaid he is the only one that can
give an accurate account of the affair,
Several other witnesses testified, but
their testimony was of no positive i'm
portance except that of the officer who
arrested Kincaid. He testified that Kin
caids pistol was at full cock when he
arrested him.
The Jury then retired, and in few
minutes returned a verdict, in which
they found that Mr. Taulbee came to his
death 'from a pistol wound, the pistol
being held in the hand of Charles Kin
caid in the United States capitol build
ing, on Feb. %, 1890"

Juvenile robacco Users Indignant.

RICHMOND, Va, March IA. There is a
little rebellion among the masculine
youth of the ''Old Dominion" The last
legislature passed bill making it a mis-
demeanor to sell tobacco, cigars or
cigarettes to children under II years of
age without the consent of their parents,
hence the little fellows who have been
in the habit of smoking and chewing
can not get the weed without much
trouble. The law, which has just gone
into force, will largely affect the cigarette
interests of Virginia towns and cities.
The boys say they will do the best they
can to obstruct the operations of the law
