On Tuesday, councilmen and members Of
the school boards were elected in many Of
the cities Of Kansas, women taking an ac-
tive part in the ballotng. Under the law Of
the state. they are granted the right Of sun
rage when city offices arctic be filed, and are
themselves eligible TO election. For two
years the remarkable spectacle has been pre-
scented in Manhattan Of an American town
being governed exclusively by female Of
ficials. The Mayor is woman Of political
shrewdness and ability, the council is COM
posed Of ladies, and even the janitor OF the
City Hall is said to be a woman.
At the election on Tuesday the women
had a ticket in the field, which triumphed
over very strong and popular competitors.
On this occasion the whole machinery Of
the election was in the hands OF women. the
judges and clerks being, without exception,
of that sex. IL is not reported that the re-
turns were tempered with, or that the fe-
male officers proved otherwise than most
attentive, alert, and competent. There has
been no information received as to the at
utuuc OF tnc male voters IN thc cltC-
ton at Manhattan, but in Emporia, on
the same day, it is stated that the
men were worked up TO the highest pitch Of
excitement over the candidacy Of Mrs.
jackson, who had offered herself for re.elec-
ton as a member of the school board Of that
city. Outside Of Manhattan, the women
did not cast more than one-half OF their reg
istered vote, and in some cities hardly one
third which would seem TO show that they
either did not value the right Of suffrage in
the highest degree, OF their household duties
made il inconyenient for them TO 20 to the
polls in large numbers.
The experiment Of female suffrage in
Kansas will be watched with interest, even
by those who do not sympathize with such
an innovation upon the general law. Ii has
not been sufficiently extended, even in that
state, to furnish the ground upon which 10
base any just estimate Of how the chief
privilege Of citizenship would be exercised
by women under circumstances that were
such as to test their sagacity and their self
control.

One Of the most remarkable features of the
almost Unprecedented food in the Mis-
sissippi river is the length Of time that the
high water has continued without show
ing any sign Of tendency 10 subside The
statement made by one Of the officers Of the
Weather service that New Orleans would
be in serious danger Of being completely
engulfod. if there was not an early falling
oflin the volume Of the food, has fortunately
proved 10 be incorrect, but far and wide
over the valley Of the lower Mississippi the
waters have spread, covering plantation
after plantation, destroying such crops as
were standing, sweeping away valuable
stock and fencing, and driving the people
from their houses 10 the nearest high ground.
A number Of towns have been flooded, and
the perishable property Of the citizens
ruined by the encroachment Of the waters
The present flood, which is probably the
most damaging on record in the history Of
the Mississippi valley, has called renewed
attention 10 the subject Of what constitutes
the best method Of protecting that great and
fertile area Of country from the frghtful
losses entailed by the overlooking OF the
river. There seems TO be a wide
diversity of opinion as to the proper means
Of protection TO be employed, some fayoring
the opening Of a large artificial outlet 10 the
sea on the lower west bank Of the river;
others advocating a chain Of reservoirs on
the side Of Lake Borgne.
New Orleans very justly opposes the os-
Of any new permanent route 10
the sea that will leave the main stream at
any point above its own site. This would
inevitably lower the commercial Importance
Of the city by diyerting large amount Of
from its wharyes. Moreover, there
is every probability that new city would
rise at the junction Of the Mississippi and
the branch outlet to the sea, which might in
time become a most formidable competitor
Of New Orleans, i'm spite of the advantage
in the point Of age and capital which the
latter would enjoy.
The leyee system, as an exclusive means
Of protecting the Mississippi Valley, has
proven to be a failure, and it has become es-
scntial TO unite with it some additional
means Of guarding from the encr0aching
waters the lives and property Of the people
of the valley. The most feasible plan that
has been suggested appears to be the one
that looks to the utilization Of Lake Borgne
in the time of floods, and il is not improba-
bic that the government will take steps at
later day TO carry this plan into practical
Onnrafinn.
