ICE-FLOODS IN WISCONSIN.

The woes Of the winter have begun early.
The very first "cOld wave" has gorged West
ern rivers with ice. causing them TO overflow
their banks and do vast damage Worst of all
is the case of the Chippewa. in Northwestern
Wisconsin, stream which drains about a quar-
ter OF the entire area Of that State. In It's cen
tral and lower courses the water has risen from
four TO five fathoms. Miles Of country are del
uged. and thousands Of head Of stock have per-
ished, and quantities Of farm produce beyond
all present estimate have been destroyed. Sew
eral large towns and cities on the river banks
are also inundated, business is paray yZed, the
loss is already enormous, and there is danger Of
catastrophe second only to that Of JOhnstown.
Men can do little, If anything. to avert 1t.
They can merely wait and hope for such
weather as Will cause a gradual subsistence Of
the flood and breaking up of the icedams.
This dsaster-for such 1t already is-belongs
to class only trlhe less beyond human con-
troll than the earthquake and the hurricane.
An ordinary jam Of Ice in river may be
broken up without much trouble. But when in
q few hours one Is formed several miles In
length, the strength of man Is vain. That Is
just what has occurred in the Chippewa River.
For five miles or more, at Chippewa Falls. the
bed OF the river is blocked SOlluly from SnOre
to shore with mass of ice from twenty five
to fifty feet thick. The swollen stream pours
its food over and around this obstacle. rush
Ing through the streets Of the town well up to
the second stories Of the buildings. Further
down stream, toward Eau Claire, is another
gorge. ten miles long. while above Chippewa
Falls are several more at various points. II
one Of these should suddenly give way, the
great flood Of water damned up by 1t would
come rushing down with ruipOus force. not
merely inundating but destroying whatever
town or city lay In It's path. That that will
happen is now. apparently. what Is most
feared. Such calamity is to be averted only
by favorable weather-that Is, by a, continu-
ance Of cold. dry weather. during which the
, fow Of water will gradually subside. More
rain would cause the water TO rise higher. and
perhaps by Its very pressure TO break the dam.
and a thaw would break the Ice up too sud.
denly, and make the Chippewa Valley desolate
from the Falls to the Mississippi.
L is too early yet to begin to reckon the
losses and the distress which will be caused by
these foods Unquestionably they will be enor-
mos. Whether any general appeal for relief
will be necessary remains to be seen. WiscOn.

Charleston News and Courier is led to say:
of course negro rule was not to be permitted
under any circumstances. and fraud was easier
and less Objectionable TO our Northern con-
cuerors than force. But its use was neVerthe-
less q great blunder. Although first USED against
the negroes il demoralized public sentiment
and in course Of time was used by white men
against white men. Hindsight Is always better
than foresight. and looking back we can see
that IL would have been better to XIII out the
negroes or TO have submitted to military rule
than to have made fraud at elections respecta-
BILE Republican government Is only safe on the
condition of fair elections. Without them So

This is the lesson which nothing but expert

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE.

All over the Southern States the cry Of fraud
Is heard. 1t comes not from negroes or carpet
baggcrs. 1t Is the complaint Of the Od-fash-
ioned, conservative whites. the men and the
sons Of the mel who led the Confederacy and
who until recently have controlled the affairs Of
their States From Charleston 10 Galveston.
from Louisville to Key West. the hlgh-toncd
newspapers whose creed for a quarter of q
century has been white supremacy at what
ever cost are aroused TO protest against the
wholesale frauds by which the electoral vote
of several States WAS counted for Bryan re-
gardless of the ballots cast.
That the frauds this year were enormous
there can be no doubt. Ii is shameful cond
tiOn Of affairs which makes such outrages pos
sible. Yet on the whole. we view the situation
Of these scandallzed patriots with considcra
BILE complacency and look upon their wrongs as
not entirely unmixed evils. Not that we have
any desire to mock them and tell them that
they are hoist with their own pctard natural
as that retOrt might be- We all learn things
as time goes on, even If we have 10 learn them
by suffering the penalty Of our own mlsdecds
COmplacency over these frauds Is not that Of
the scoffcr at. the repentance Of those who built
up this system of dishonest elections and de-
Tended II so long as It served their purposes
but that Of the observer who sees these evils
working their own cure by their present con-
tinuance.
The country Is saved in spite of stuffed bal
lot-boxes. The loss Of y few States more or
less to the sound-moncy column through fraud
does not make any difference in the general
result, but 1t does profoundly affect the temper
and conscience of n great body of Southern
people who have hitherto sanctioned or at
least tolerated crimes against the franchise be-
cause those crimes worked for the supremacy
OF their own political convictions If the split
in the Southern Democracy had resulted I'm
honest elections no stirring Of the public con-
science would have resulted. Ballot-box stuff
fling would have been thought OF still as an
instrument for the suppression of the negro and
his friends which no white Democrat would
think Of using against another gentleman. 1t
would have been preserved as peculiar In
stitution to he employed when occasion re-
auired. But disagreeable experience Of evil 10

TIE DEFICIT AND THE TARIFF NEEDED

Rightly the Free Traders anticipate that the
Government returns of revenue and deficit will
be held conclusive reason for thorough change
Of the revenue laws. The excess of expendi-
lures over receipts in November was SSO5OO24
and in five months of the fiscal year the deficit
was $50, ,946, ,S46 or at the rate Of nearly S9G
100000 year. But this comparison IS not quite
fair. because the especial prOstraton Of busi-
ness in August and September caused by the
Outburst of revolution and Anarchy lessened
for a time the revenue yielding power of the
present law. fairer comparison gives that
law the benefit Of the heavy impOrtatlons and
the lighter expenditures of the first half OF the
year. and the total receipts for eleven months
of 1896 were S2SS, 727 ,955, and the total expend
lures $341 .O2l .73O. showing for the eleven
months an actual deficit of $52,293,'Io Assum-
ing December results to be like those OF NOvem-
er the actual deficit for the full year will be
Ger 10000. 900. TO determine why this deficit
ha occurred, we have to 90 back to the official
sta.ment for the fiscal year which ended with
Junaast, as the details are there given for full
comp~ison. although the deficit was not in that
year great. partly because OF the heavy i'm
portatios last spring and in the fall OF 1S9J and
partly beause of the labored shifting of pay
ments nea the end Of the fiscal year over to the
next In OrGr to make better showing.
The custOAs receipts shown in tie statement
Of entries for consumption with duties thereon
for the fiscal wear 1896 were $1o6LO4, 500. Of
which no less than $2926OO76 was derived
from duties on s,gar under the previous tariff
not dutiable. THIS only $126,S44oZ3 was de-
rived from duties tn all other articles. but the
revenue from these other articles uncer the
Mckinley tariff amounted in the year 1893 to
$19S.373,45 This shoys reduction OF ST.
100000 In the duties on Oher articles than sugar
and that In spite Of the enormous increase in
lmportatons Of woollens aad many minor arti-
cles The effect Of the change In duties is per-
fectly well known. 1t facilitated increased for
eign importations larger work by foreigners Tor
American markets and less by American labor-
ers. and this by double process-namely by /,
reduction OF more than third In the rate OF
duties II honestly enforced. and by a change
to ad valorem duties on important classes by
which the door was opened so widely to FRAUD
that 1t Ia estimated that over $2O,0OO,OOO was
stolen from the Government last year by fraudu-
lent undervaluations.
Having thus thrown away $71 100000 Of the
revenue, and SO depressed home Industries that
the consumption Of sugar. of spirits and Of to-
bacco was dIminished-and IN spite Of an in
crease from 90 cents to 81 10 per gallon on spir-
its the revenue last year was $14,OOOO0O less
from that article than In the fiscal year 1893
supporters of the present tariff beg that the
deficiency may be made up by increased taxes
on articles Of universal consumption. That Is
not the way to tighten the burdens of the labor
