The recent floods OF this country are
made the subject Of discussion by j. w.
Powell in an article which he contributes
to the North American Review, and
some Of the means by which the flow Of
rivers may be regulated are pointed out
by him. He first makes the statement
that, on what he terms "hood plains, "
or the alluvial bottom lands OF the great
rivers, an overflow at times is inevitable
and that it cannot De avertcd by dykes,
levees or Strengthening of the channels.
Thus the importance Of regulating the
outflow is increased and it is shown how
completely the measures for this pur-
oose dovetail into each other. Thus, it
is piven as fact that while tho Missouri, =,
Arkansas and Red Rivers may not carry
into the Mississippi a greater volume of
water than do the Ohio and the Upper
Mississippi, they bring in muci larger
quantity of earth and other foreign sub.
stances, which, when deposited, cause
the river bed to fill up, the channels TO
shift and the bottom Ian Is to be over.
flowed. II the headwatcrs OF these
streams were stored for the irrigation of
the belt lying east of the Rocky Noun
tains, the surplus which now brings
destruction to the low lands bordering
the Mississippi would be utilized in the
creation of fertility. "Deep cultivation
and undertaking create a reservoir
for water wherever they are placticed. "

Ways Of Life.

when Fortune smiles its sweetest smirk
And Favor slaps us on the back,
When Fame's steep hill seems easy work,
And pleasures decorate the track
Along our rose-strewn youthful route
Life plays upon a cheerful Lutte
When We are young.
When care has bent the weary frame
And Trouble marked the wrink led brow,
When we must live, tho halt and lame,
We sadly think Of then aud now.
When friends are scarce aud dollars few
Life shows very different view
When we are old.
When death shall enter at our door
And grimly serve his summons bold,
w hen We shall suffer pain no more
And Mother Earth our form shall fold,
Ahl then will be our battle won
And brighter life but Just begun
When we are dead.

An Emcacious Remedy,

Two unprotected women of Warsaw,
ILL.,, were beset by couple Of dissolute
men few days ago and were subjected
to the vilest of threats. The women
ba1ricaded their bedroom door and one
of them armed herself with shotgun,
which she used with good effect upon
one of the scoundrels. This contains a
valuable suggestion for women who
are left at the mercy of rowing tramps
and desperadoes. They should provide
themselves with shotguns and practice
with them until they become proficient
in their use, then when Mr.. Villain
comes along and tries to cut up any OF
his bad tricks they can save the hang
man job and perform a great service
for the community.

Astronornical Research.

By means of the spectroscope and the
photograph the recesses Of the celestial
world, millions of miles distant from
the earth, are brought within the
grasp of the astronomer for careful and
minute observation. Photographs
show that the nebula In Andromeda-a
whirlpool of luminous matter-divided
into dark and bright rings surrounding
a large, underlined central mass, is a gi-
gantic solar system In the way Of for
nation, indicating a similar origin, on
q much smaller scale, Of our own solar
system Photographs of the Pleiades
also show that this cluster of suns is
not an occasional gathering. The
stars are simply spots upon which the
diffuse nebulous matter has agglomera-
ted and condensed to make new suns.
The same is true Of the nebulae in Or
ion. It has likewise been revealed that
the nebula in Argus has altered consid-
erably in the last fifty years. At a
place where Herschel saw one of its
brightest parts there is now a dark,
oval space. The matter has either
been drawn elsewhere or is luminous
no more A new star in Auriga, rapid
ly passing through series OF transfer
nations, reveals the secret Of the birth
of new suns. These discoveries demon
strate the continuous life of nature, its
constant change and evolution.

SECRETARY TRACY is coming in for
considerable criticism because of the I'M
protected position of American interests
in South America, which has been sharply
brought to mind by the forcible seizure
of political refugees on a passenger
steamship carrying the American flag,
the other day, by Venezuelans, and the
consequent hurried ordering of the gun
boat Concord from the Atlantic coast to
Venezuelan waters. When the social
influences of the officers of the navy
were many months ago scheming to
have the best ships in our navy spend
the summer on the Atlantic coast,
to give the "dear ducks who dance so
delightfully."-, you know" an opportunity
to put in little time at all the fashion
able seaside resorts, Secretary Tracy
was begged by those interested to keep
one or two vessels in South American
waters to look after American interests
which are constantly jeopardized by the
unsettled condition of several of the
countries over there, but he could not
stand the social "pull," hence the
present unsatisfactory condition OF
affairs.

A LAST WORD,

The DEMOCRAT is in favor of granting
the petition of the Horse Railroad Co
to use electricity as a motive power,
under certain conditions, of which the
most important are:
First, that the trolley be used only
until such time as in the judgment of
the court of common council less
dangerous system is found practicable.
Secondly, that the right be reserved
by the city to call for further con-
cessions from the company after ten
wears free use of the streets.

A PICTURE OF LONDON.
The Terrible and Brutal Savagery Tha
Existed In Old Riverside.

The Terrible and Brutal Savagery That
Existed in Old Riverside.
There were no masters in Riverside,
London, and there was no authority
for the great mass Of the people. The
sailor ashore had no master; the men
who worked on the lighters and on the
ships had no master except for the day;
the ignoble horde of those who supplied
the coarse pleasures of the sailors had
no masters; they were not made to do
anything but what they pleased; the
church was not for them; their children
were not sent to school; their only
masters were the fear of the gallows,
constantly dangled before their eyes
at Execution dock and on the shores OF
the Isle of Dogs, and their profound re-
spect for the cat O. nine tails. They
knew no morality; they had no other
restraint; they altogether slid, ran,
fell, leaped, danced and rolled swiftly
and easily down the Primrose path as
they fell into a savagery the like Of
which has never been known among
English folk since the days of their CON
version to the Christian faith, writes
Walter Besant in Scribner.
1t is only by searching and poking
cunning hAhhho"A PdLhpAlASCS duI 4OT-
gotten books that one finds out the
actual depths of the English savagery
of the last century. And it is not too
much to say that for drunkenness,
brutality and ignorance the English
man of the baser kind touched about
the lowest depths ever reached by civ
ilized man during the last century
What he was in Riverside, London, has
been disclosed by Colquhoun, the police
magistrate. Here he was not only a
drunl<ard, a brawler, q torturer Of
dumb beasts, n wife-beater, profligate
he was also, with his fellows, engaged
every day and all day long in a vast,
systematic, organized depreciation.
The people of Riverside were all,
to a man, river pirates; by day and by
night they stole from the ships.

Cabin Passengers Complain.

New York, Sep. 5.-A number of
letters of complaint from passengers on
board the Normannia because of their
detention have been received in this
city. 1t is evident from these letters
that the cabin passengers have been
led to believe by the ships officers and
surgeon that the deaths which have oc-
Cured on board were not from cholera
or anything like cholera.
Lottie Collins, the English actress,
Senator Mcpherson and Theatrical Mana
ger Palmer are among those who have
expressed themselves as being anxious
to be allowed to go ashore.

AN "TNFANT INDUsTRY."

If "protection" is the "sweet boon"
that republican orators and journalists
represent it to be. it ought to be able to
stand upon it's merits without the aid of
any humbug or falsehood. Assuming
that it possesses all the virtues ascribed
to it, the republican party can afford to
be perfectly frank with the country and
and give up "claims" that are obviously
unfounded and absurd.
One, and the most prominent one of
these, is the claim that the tariff is i'm
posed to cover the difference between
the price of labor here and abroad. In
deed, that is the chief pillar of the pro-
tectionist edifice. And yet it is de-
monstrable that in a majority of pro-
tected industries the tax on the i'm
ported article is from 100 to 300 or 4OO
per cent greater than the difference in
the labor cost of the domestic and for
eign product.
The only proper ground for the adj
vocates of high tariff to take is that
the most important infant industry ir
the country is the republican party, an6
that the 200 or 400 per cent excess above
referred to is necessary for its pro
lection. This would afford basis fol
republican argument which the people
could understand, and it would exactly
correspond with the fact. The pro
tected manufacturer receives the excess
and donates large portion of it to thu
republican campaign fund, thus fulfill
ing the real purpose of the law anC
giving support to the neediest of al
American infant industries.

Even.

On the steeple of an old Universalist
church, in Bath, Me-, there is wooden
figure of an angel. 1t is not remark
ably fine specimen of art, and has al
ways been somewhat laughed about,
especially because of its high-heeled
shoes.
The Bath Enterprise recalls the story
that former pastor of the North Con-
gregational church once accosted a de-
voted Universalist with the question:
''Mr. Raymond, did you ever see an
angel with high heeled shoes on its
feet?''
"Why, no." answered Mr.. Raymond,
81 can't say that l ever did; but did you
see one without them?''

PEOPLE who have always doubted the
existence of genuine sea serpent can
now have their doubts settled with but
little trouble and expense. A recent
dispatch from Saginaw, Mich, conveys
the intelligence that the Green Point
serpent, a regular attraction, has been
killed. The killing was probably done
by disinterested parties who had no
sympathy with the hotel business of the
place. The post-mortem dimensions of
the monster were not quite up to the
ante-mortem figures, but they were
large enough to entitle the defunct
terror to be classed as full-blown, sea-
side, summer sea serpent.

made a recent sojourn in the Adiron-

IT is peculiar fact, and one that has
attracted considerable attention in
medical circles and journals, that the
affection, OR at least popularity, OF
deafness in one ear, is greatly on the in
crease. In walking along the street
with friend it is by no means unusual
to notice that every time it is necessary
to cross to the other sidewalk he is
careful to keep on the same side of his
companion. while if he cannot do this
he strains his head around in an OBJ
viously painful effort to hear. Like al.
most all modern troubles this deafness
in one ear is generally attributed to the
grip, but whether this is SO or not, the
defect Is certainly much more common
tkan it was few years ago.
