To snch we are offering liberal in

THE MISSISSIPPI LEvEEs.

The report of the government
engineers, read at the meeting in
Greenville, Miss, last week, Oi
the executive committee of the
Interstate Mississippi River I'm
provement and Levee Associa-
ton, was of highly encourag-
ing character. From this report
it is learned that in 1882 the to-
tai number of crevasses in levees
was 2S4, aggregating 81 9-1OO
miles in width. In 1885 the num-
Der of crevasses was 224, with
an aggregate width of 81 Ito
miles. In 1884 the crevasses
numbered 2O4, aggregating 10
64-1OO miles in width. The re-
suit of the crevasses enumerated
during these three years was q
general overflow of the Missis-
sippi Delta. In the present flood
the dangers of which are now
passed. the crevasses which have
occurred number %, aggregat-
ing about AZ miles in width, in
a total length of LOO miles of
levees, or less than half of one
per cent. of the total line of lev
ees. The general result has been
larger measure of protection
offered by the levees this year,
notwithstanding the extranrd-
nary character of the food,
which has never been enjoyed
during previous high waters of
considerable magnitude.

Another large Indian reserve

State of Washington by which it
will obtain possession Of a tract
of territory comprising 1,5OO,-
600 acres of land, as soon as the
treaty meets with the approval
of Congress. The people of the
new State have been very desir-
Gus of the opening of this broad
track, which is fully a half of the

THE PEOPLES PARTY LEADER
AND PROTECTION.

Senator PETER, of Kansas, the
third party leader, says, in an
interview, that he favors protec-
tive tariffs, provided they are
not too high. They must.bejust
high enough to cover the differ
ence between wages here and
abroad. That gives the Senator
away. Mr.. Mckinley is just that
kind of a protectionist. Any
tariff low enough to let in a
pound of any foreign product is
too low, in his view, to cover the
difference between wages here
and abroad. Hence he puts his
average of tariff rates up to 60
per cent, though Is per cent.
rate, with freigbts added, is
enough to balance the difference
in wages. AS a matter of fact,
in a great many trades wages
abroad, measured by the amount
of product per man. are higher
than here. But, like other pro-
tectionists, Mr.. PETER will not
see that. He is evidently still a
good republican, with all the
economic error that the name
implies. Is he leading his party
back by a circuitous route into
the old camp?
People who are inclined to
sympathize with this "Third
Party business had better
watch PETER.

In reply to a correspondent,
the Indianapolis Sentinel states
that the fines imposed upon ex-
Senator Farwell and Exon
gresham Taylor, of Chicago, for
violating the contract labor law,
have never been collected. Far
well and Taylor contracted to
build the Texas State capitol,
and employed George Wilke as a
suE-contractor. Sixty stone-cut-
tiers were imported direct from
Scotland at very low wages.
Wilke was prosecuted under the
law forbidding the Importation
of contract labor, and was fined
81 900 in each of the sixty cases.
Through the influence of his Re-
publican employers, Farwell and
Taylor, these fines have never
been collected. Comment is I'M
necessary.
