FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.

The picture of affairs in Laconia Circle,
Ark, given by our special dispatches,
gives a more complete idea of the
destruction of that great overflow than any
previous accounts have done The condi-
ton of a region whose area is counted by
the hundreds of square miles, in which the
few unsubmerged points are actually
crowded by cattle and people, while the
roofs of houses afford the resting place of
hundreds, must be gloomy indeed. There
does not seem to have been anywhere such
an overwhelming rush of death and destruc-
tion as was experienced at Johnstown; but
the imprisonment of the population and the
loss of their property by flood is not less
hard to bear because it is more protracted
process.
This flood seems to demonstrate the fail
ure of the levee system which has been re-
lied upon heretofore to keep the Mississippi
within bounds. 1t is true that there are
districts where the levees have served cir
purpose and protected the plantations be-
hind them. But part of this is doubtless
due to the 1essening of the flood in the
CHauuSA Nv tAe uicdhiuS VI otheI AeNecsj
while the cases in which the embankments
have given away, show that the old system
is inadequate to furnish thorough protection
against floods. the attempt to imprison the
flooded Father of Waters must give place to
some system which, instead of trying to re-
strict the powers of nature, give them
broader and easier channels of outflow.
What the exact form of that system may be
is hard to tell; but it will have to be radi-
cal departure from the plan which is now
shown to be practical failure.
In the meantime the condition of the
flooded districts will afford abundant room
for the efforts of the charitable in assisting
the destitute people to repair damages and
get to work once more.

As TO THE WIND.

The comments of The DISPATCH on las
weeks wind-storm aroused the Akron
Beacon to declare that the reports were not
exaggerated, that the strongest frame
houses were blown away, and that many
acres of timber were mown down in a
minute. This is testimony on the point
which was referred to in these articles,
whether the cyclones require a change in
our architecture; but its tone does not Undue
it with such authority as to make con-
clusions on its assurance quite infallible.
If the reports are not exaggerated, how is it
that nothing more is heard Of relief move
ments for aiding the numerous Northern
Ohio villages that were reported to be ruined
by the storm? Timber often is blown down
by rather ordinary wind storms, and some
thing more precise than that sort of informa-
tlon is needed to settle the question whether
the prevalence of cyclones calls for doubling
the thickness and strength of our walls.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD,

Quarter Centennial of the Loyal LIE Legion-A
Great Semi Military Meeting in PhiIa.
deIphia To-Morrow-How the Order
Originated-Aany Local Members TO
Attend the Anniversary.
JUST % years ago to-day, In nearly every
J American city ana village meetings were
held to give voice to the great sorrow of the
people over the death of President Abraham
Lincoln. The following morning, three Phila-
delphia citizens who had been soldiers Mayor
Samuel B. Wylie Mitchell, M. D., Colonel T.
Ellsworth Zell and Captain Peter D. Keyser.
M. D.. happened to meet together in the office
of Colonel zell, No. II South Sixth street.
Their conversation, naturally. was concerning
Mr.. Lincoln, who lay dying in Washington
Before separating they concluded the time had
come to make public their determination to
organize an association of the officers of
the army and navy, similar to the Society of
the Cincinnati, found in 1888 by the officers of
the Revolutionary war. To the new organiza-
ton they gave the name of the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion of the United States"
President Lincoln, COMMANDMENT Chief of the
Army and Navy of the United States. was by
special resolution enrolled as member. Since
that time Communicates have been instituted
IN IL other States. the membership now aggre-
eating over $780, AS tomorrow will be the
twenty-hfth anniversary of the organization of
the Legion, at the last meeting of the congress
OF the order it was determined that the occa-
sion should be becomingly celebrated in Phila-
delphla. The local committee there has made
the most elaborate arrangements for the enter
taininent of the visiting companions and their
friends. 1t is expected there will be at least
5000 veterans present, and that it will be the
most notable semi-military assenblage since
the close OF the war. All the communicates
VIII be well represented. A special train left
Chicago yesterday and will pass through Pitts
TINS morning, as the third section of the
limited.

ALCOHOLISM EXTRAORDINARY.

1t is not certain that the lesson will be
clearly recognized; but we can hardly
imagine a stronger temperance lecture than
the story published elsewhere of the man
whose disappearance a few weeks ago
caused something of sensation. The best
explanation which he gives of his absence
is that be was gauging drunken spree to
the breadth OF the continent
There may be differences of opinion as to
the use of intoxicating liquors, but it is
hardly open to discussion that the man who,
after bringing himself to a condition of al
eoholism in New York, transfers his basis
OF operations to the Pacific coast, and there
demonstrates that the effects of liquor are
the same on both sides of the continent,
should leave whisky alone. The possibili-
ties of spreading a spree over the country
have never received more striking illustra-
tion.
IF this instance of the insanity of drunk
enness does not induce all who have weak
ness OF that sort to establish prohibition for
themselves, it is not likely that an angel
sent from heaven could convince them The
revelation from the neither regions ought to
be the most impressive.

WHAT MAKES THEM DO TT

1t would be an interesting study for the
psychologist to inquire what is the influence
which irresistibly induces every American
representative in England to slop over when
he gets to England in declaring the loyalty
of this country to English customs, and
even to English royalty and aristocracy.
Mr.. James Russell Lowell was widely
accused of an acute case of AnglomanIa,
but his attack was not half so severe as that
which induced his successor, Mr.. Phelps, to
declare to that callow princeling, "Collars
and Cuffs that the heart OF the American
people was bubbling over with loyal ad-
miration for him. Mr.. Phelps having re-
tired, Mr.. New as Consul General takes up
accession of gush, as will be seen from the
following extract of recent speech:
IF England ever got into difficulty, America
would rally to the support of the old mother
country. for the English-speaking people DOM
mated the world. There was not in the United
States well-thinking man who did not believe
in the integrity of Great Britain, and who was
not in favor of maintaining the ascendancy of
Great Britain in those parts that she claimed"
We do not sympathize with the hatred of
England which some politicians express.
There is great deal of English life, and of
English popular movements, with which
the United States has the keenest sympathy.
But when any one tells the English that the
. nited States will fight the battle of En-
glish supremacy in the colonies he is either
making fool OF himself or of his hearers
and probably both. No indeed; with due
sympathy and affection for our English
cousins it should be understood that if Eng
land gets into fight involving her colonial
possessions she has got to hustle for herself.
But what makes our statesmen, both
Democratic and Republican, boil over in
this manner? Is it the wine after dinner or
the awful presence of royalty and aristocracy
at the feasts?

PITTsBURG, April II.
Judge BridIegoose's Legal Opinions.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Dissatisfaction is often expressed these days
at the delays of the courts in deciding causes,
and with the result when decided. The follow
Ing plan might or could be tested for the pur-
pose of giving satisfaction to all concerned.
This plan is set forth in the Green Bag for
April, as follows:
According to Rabelais, Judge Bridlegoose
supposed to mean a French chancellor), ad-
mitted, when taxed with an outrageous judg-
ment, that since he had become old he could
not 30 easily distinguish the points on the dice
as he used to do. And when pressed to explain
how he came to resort to dice, he said he, like
their other worships. decided his cases by the
throw of the dice, because chance and fortune
were good, honest, profitable and necessary to
put final stop to lawsuits. When pressed to
explain why, if he used dice, he received so
many peadings and papers from the parties, he
said he used TO heap these heavy papers at
opposite ends of the table, and when they were
pretty evenly balanced he used his small dice;
but when the papers of one party we're larger
than the others, he used his large dice
Being again pressed to say why he kept the
papers SO long, seeing that he never read them,
but decided his cases by the dice, he gave three
reasons. First, because it was decorous and
seemly to keep them; secondly. he used to turn
them over and bang and toss them about as a
healthy, bodily exercise; and thirdly, he kept
them SO long in order that the issue might
ripen, and the parties might be more reconciled
to bear their misfortune when it came to them"
These lucid reasons convinced his eensors
that he was about as efficient as his neighborS
in his day and generation-which was about the
year 1545.
What do our legal lights think of the fore
going reasons? FRITZ

Mr.. Carnegie's head Offices, the new theaters,
office buildings and banks should be built at

The Bedford avenue site is a magnificent
and commanding site for a public building
which would rise up from the real center of the
city like the castles OF Edinburgh and Stirling.
The Capitol at Washington, the Coliseum
at at Rome, the National Gallery in Lon

famous buildings, are all placed on the most
commanding and prominent ground available
in the neighborhood. The Bedford avenue

from Bedford to the Pennsylvania Railroad

which are an eyeSore to the CITY, and could be
bought at a low figure, would give ample room
with solid rock foundation, complete drain
age and ventilation, to put up one of the finest
buildings in the world, with a terrace all around
that would be delightful promenade, giving
grand view and place of resort for the hard
worked citizens and young people of Pittsburg
such as very few cities in this country or Eu-
rope possess, and where mercenary people, real
estate owners and agents would have the least
show to grind their axes.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
BEAVER FALLS, April 13-The second con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, of the New Castle district, which has been
in session here for the last three days, closed
this evening with large meeting at the Sixth
Avenue Theater. The sessions which have
been held in the Methodist Episcopal and Pres
byterian Churches have as rule been well at
tended. Every district has been represented
by delegates, and several State officers of the
organization have been present.
This morning conservation meeting in the
Y. NJ. G. A. rooms was addressed by w. S.
Fraser, of PIttsburg. This afternoon a meet
ing for the men only was held IN the Presby
terian Church. and one for women only was
held In the Methodist Church. This evening
union meeting of the young peoples societies
was held in the Presbyterian Church, which
was led by H. c. Westervelt, of Pittsburg, and
at 7:i5 the farewell meeting convened at the
theater, at which number of ministers and
others made addresses.
The association here is deeply in debt and
it is thought the holding of the meetings here
will create an interest which will result in its
being placed on good financial footing again.
