THE various devices for the preven-
sion Of flood disasters which have
been tried in this country have zach
and all Of them proved inadequate
against the freshets which have at
tackled them during the spring sea-
son. The levee is probably the most
efficient OF all methods which do no
involve immense expense. and 1t has
repeatedly proved itself insufficient
1t is a protection in a measure and up
to certain point In the advances OF
the flood, but it gives way before
such torrents as appear in the spring
and Us are likely to appear at almost
any time of heavy rains.

The object OF education is not
wholly or even chiefly. to make all
pupils good bookkeepers and good
public readers and good penmen.
These things are more or less impor-
tant but the object OF education is
vastly more important 1t is to draw
out and develop and strengthen
the intellectual powers OF the child
as we'll as to teach particular facts. A
given fact once learned may be for
gotten; the chances are that it will be
no practical use II remembered; but a
we'll developed intelligence is per-
manent possession that may be turned
to meet any Of the demands OF life.

what DIdn,t They Invent,

We owe the invention of visiting
cards to the Chinese. So long ago as
the period OF the Tong dynasty (61S-
907) visiting cards were known to be
in common use in China and that Is
also the date of the introduction OF
the .red silken cords" which figure so
conspicuously on the engagement cards
OF that country.

In the Star Light.

The WolHey holdover legislature was without qualification the most "nlrageously expensive in its result to the people of any legislature ever con- vened in Arizona. The legislative council of that body capped the eli, max in overriding the law and the will of the people, in assuming to con- firm wolh-y's appoi' tees to office. After the expense of the work of that holdover legislature 1t was supposed all of them mad retired to the shades of obscurity, but what do we find in the present campaign? Wolfey is in the saddle with Bob Paul and his CO., terie of followers whooping it up, and the Wolfley holdover councilmen in the procession. Hardy, of Mohave i; Darlington. of Yuma; Dor~n, of Pin al; Smith, of Maricops, and Cheyney, of Cochise, are candidates for the council. How did it happen that these holdovers were all nomina ated by the republicans of their respective counties? Does it mean another Wolfiey conspiracy against the people? It looks much like it. It looks much like another fraudulent legislature
 There is iobbery ahead. Every one of these citizens ought to be allowed to remain at home, and they will.-Star.

Cattle Shipments.

The Star's Crittenden correspond ent writes some interesting notes on the cattle industry in that section. Among other things he aays:
 Colin Cameron, fearing a general die-off, is shipping out the larger DOT ton of his stock cattle, and is buying all the steers of his neighbors, and paying, we are informed. $4 for year lings and S6 for txos. The price seems low but Mir Cameron assured us that he would not pay that price for any steers except those which range with or where his cattle does. From the men with the outfit who had sold at these prices, we learn that the absolute failure of grass to grow makes it a necessity to sell or ship out everything. Cows and unspayed heifers cannot be sold at any price. Mir. Cameron refusing to pay E. for them when paying $4 and $6 for steers of like ages, The general i'm precision seems to be that only a mir acle will prevent the total annihilation of all cattle in this section. Dr. Thornton, of the firm of Perrin X Thornton, has sent ou. two trains to Nevada, and will continue to ship un til all the cattle are gone that can be found of their own and the old Mule Shoe outfit.

MARK AND MICKEY.
It Was All for Marcus-Mick.
 ey Not in It.

There were about 1900 people at the court plaza last night to listen to the joint discussion between Delegate Mark Smith and Candidate Mickey Stewart. While Mickey did the hest he knew how he simply was not in it. Marcus tore him to tatters and rags. The Star felt sorry for Mickey. for really he was much like unto rabbit in the jaws of . lion. There was mo- .hing left of him but . tuft of fur when the business was ended. It was to be regretted that the people were denied the privilege of giving the en- tire evening to Messrs. Smith, Norris and Cox. as they would have enjoyed rare treat. for they are all iorcibls and eloquent speakers, and it is doubt full if our people will have an oppor- tunity to hear any of these gentlemen during the campaign. The result of the meeting, however, was stated by an old line republican when he said Smith has made lots of votes simply by his superiority to Stewart.
