INvINcIBLE RIVER.
There is No Sign of a Let Up In
the Great Mississippi.

The New Orleans Item of Mon
day evening says that the several
crevasses now forming SO many
boandless outlets for the great
@Fatherof Waters, . through which
rush at inconceiyable speed the
angry waters of this, one of the
mightiest of the mighty rivers,
with crest-capped waves dashing
through the breaks in the levees,
forming roaring cataracts, rapids,
and finally spreading out over
large cultivated plantations, COW
ering their yerdant herbage and
changing them to placid lakes, do
not cause any appreciable fall in
the: river atlthis point. This would
seem TO prove contrary to the
claim set up in the CoWden. theory,
viz: that if q sufiient number Of
outlets were opened we would need
no levees on the banks of the river.
It is possible that the river fnd-J
ing. its way out Of the river,
through the several creyassea, ia
counterbalanced by the late rise of
the Missouri and other tributaries
of the Mississippi. If not, why
this would go far to prove what
has been often maintained that
is, that the current or flow of the
riveris retarded in proportion to
the number ofthese .erevasses.
The levees along the city front,
with few executions, are still in
very good condition. Tb Wharyes
have nearly all been raised above
high water mark, except in q few
instances. Those at the Cromwell;
and Harrison steamship and the.
Southern Pacific Railway Barge
landings are among the low ones.
Here the river may, be said to ebb
and flow about every half hour.
An uphill eddy suddenly swells
the river, causing it to rise over
1 the wharf, much to the inconyen-
!. ience Of the laborers, who must

opinion about these .disorderly |
houses which have been talked of

another necessary condition Of
life in such aeity as this. If Z

/. i
! aWhatywe. must lsdo to combat
intemperance is to provide. public
resorts which are not tainted with
vice and corruption. If people
must drink, we can provide them

can open saloons where beer and
light wines may be had by those
who want them, and where the

I full and moral. There may be

and tables where people may sit
and chat while they drink thei,

of newspapers and periodicals

In an allusion to an approaching
meeting Of the athletic club con-
nected with st. Georges Episcopal
Church the Rev. DR.. WIS. Rains-
ford took occasion, on Sunday
morning, 5ospraise the work done
by. church athletic clubs and social
resorts under church patronage.
lie said he believed in allowing
siderable liberty in such re-
sorts, and remarked that the day
would yet come when the Christian
Church would enter into active
business competition with the sa-
looms.
Yesterday, in his study, DR..
Rainsford told areporter of the
Sun that he meant this remark to
be taken literally, and he believed
the churches should open saloons
of a high character to compete
with the vicious resorts to which
respectable persons go sometimes

The fact as to which is the best baking powder in all respects. would seem to be established beyond ques- ton by the official tests.
 Prof. H. A. Mott, when employed by the U. :. Government to analyze the various baking powders of the market and determine which was the best and most economical, after an eI- tended investigation reported in favor of the Royal, and it was adopted for government use.
 Prof. Mott has continued his exam nations of baking powders, and sf. firms i. as his deliberate judgment, ar rived at after a thorough research and careful examination of the principal brands of the market, that the Royal super for to every other. Prof. Mott II his report, says:
 "The Royal Baking Powder is ab- selutely pure, for l have so found it in many tests ID ade both for that com. pany and the U. s. Government.
 "I will go still further and state that becauss .. the facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reason. dependent upon proper proportions o the same, and the method of its pre- Parstion, the Royal Baking Powder ii undoubtedly tho purest and most re liable baking powder offered to tn, public.

w. c. Stewart spoke at Schieiielin Hall last night. The large hall was crowded and he was received most cordially. The chairman of the cen- tIal committee. A. l.. Grow, opened the meeting, and w. H. Stilwell was chosen 10 preside. Mir. Stilwell, after few preliminary remarks, introduced the speaker of the evening, w, G. Stewart.
 Mir. Stewart spoke for over two hours. and was listened to with close attention throughout. He is of ner- yous disposition and very amusing. Most of his talk was upon the tariff issue. He has stock of stories on hand that he fires off with telling ei- feet when he wishes to create a laugh. The voters Of Cochise county are glad to welcome MT. Stewart to Mark Smiths home, and in hIs absence ex- tend to him, the same courteous treat ment that MT. Smith was accorded in the county that MT, Stewart halls from.
 We do not know whether Mir. Smith made any votes in Coconino county during his recent visit there, and we do not know of anyone in Cochise county who changed his good opinion of Our Mark from hearing Mir. Stew arts speech of last night.

THE PRESS TALKS.
How Opinion MOulders View the Indictment of the Ed itOr of the ''Prospector' for Publishing a
 News Item.
[Star.l

g. c. Bagg, of the PRosPEcTeR, come time ago published the fact that tive citizens of Tombstone had drawn let tery prizes. one of whom gave the re- suit of his luck to his wife, the other deposited his in San Francisco bank. For publishing this item of news, Mr. Bagg was indicted by the grand jury. now in session in Tucson.
 Learning of the indictment, MT. Bsgg hastensd here and faced the in- dictment in court yesterday morning. He stated to the court that he had published the item simply as a matter of news. The court seemed to view the matter in the same light and dis missed the indictment with 8 small fine of s25.
 Now the Star rises ts enquire why this great government of the United States is.engsged in squanderins tie peoples money in such trivial prose- cution as thisg
 The item published in MT. Bsgg's paper was in no way an advertisement but simply news which every citizen was more or less interested in hearing. To make 1t violation of tue law must require great stretch of the construction of the law. The 9ues- ton IS, why this prosscutionf Was it to make fees, or was there 6 spirit of revenge mixed up in the busiuess? MT. Bagg states openly that the U. $. marshal's office. which has tsen the subject of severe criticism in his journal, has threatened to "even up" with him. If this be So, (and ,he Star does not doubt MT. Bagg's wsro) theL it has come to g pretty pass in Arizo- ns when such things are allowed te take place without protest. When the U. $. marshars office becomes ( machine of evening up" with suca persons as it tskes a dislike to, it is time for the people to enquire into the business. These men are the servants, not the masters si the people. They are expected to aid in the pre- tection and enforcement of the law, not to prostitute it to base ends, and the people of Arizona will not stand any such business. Neither will the press of this territory be deter red from protecting the people against the in science of office or threat of revenge. The indictment against s. c. Bagg, as the editor of the PRosPEcTsR. under the circumstances related, was as s threat, a challenge to the indspend- enee of every journal in Arizons, and will be met with righteous indignation
 and a spirit which will stand and bat. tie for the freedom of the press.
