The editor of the Cleveland Leader
has gone to the trouble to inform the
public in personal card that ex-Gov-
ernor Mckinley, Mark A. Hanna and
McKinley's private secretary are all
Protestants. 1t strikes us that his zeal
is trifle impertinent.

Although the law gives the railroad
companies until Jan. l, 1898, to complete
the equipment of their cars with safety
appliances, many OF the roads have
already done so. 1t will be noticed
that in 1894. there was a decrease over
the preceding year Of 9O4 in the number
of killed and of S,307 i'm the number of
injured. 1t is known that the death
rate from accidents to railroad men
has decreased 35 per cent. since the
safety coupler act was signed by Presi-
dent Harrison March 2, 1893.
"There are now in use on freight cars
in this country not less than 400, 900 air
brakes of which $4,000 were furnished
the last fiscal year and more than 100,-
900 this year. One hundred thousand
We're placed in use the year following
the passage of the safety appliance
act, making total of 275.000 which
may be directly ascribed to the enact
ment Of this law. In rough numbers
there, are 100000 freight cars in the
United States. Not all of these"
n; The HE III Herald pe4nts out "are
used in interstate commerce, but no
road cares to long maintain cars which
cannot be sent outside a certain state
when desired. In 1894 there had been
fitted with automatic couplers a total
of 357 ,62l, and according to an estimate
made by John NJ. Cloud, secretary of
the Master Car Builders association,
the total now exceeds 100000 freight
cars"
1t will be remembered that the rail-
road officials used to claim there were
no safe safety couplers," but the law
calling them into use has displaced this
assertion. The same popularity is no.
ticeable with reference to street car
tenders. A while ago there were no
safe tenders, but as soon as the law
said there must be such tenders; they
appeared. 1t is well at times for the
lawmakers to prod the corporations; it
generally promotes the public welfare.

The Philadelphia Press has offered a
liberal prize to the boy who shall write
the best essay on the three greatest
Americans. But who are they? Wash
ington and Lincoln, for two, but whom
for the third? That is a good subject
for debate. Have our readers any sug-
gestions to offer? And. while on this
subject, who are the three greatest liv-
ing Americans?
Arthur McDcrald, the government
criminOlogist, says: II have seen
Holmes twice in his cell, and have

him also with, the aesthesiometer,
which gives his acuteness or dulness

In a sense these comments. typical of

do they prove? Nothing directly; and
perhaps. after all. the only value is the
suggested thought that since demo-
cracy Is inevitably the order of the
day, an order not to be eXpunged by in
dividual contempt, the manly plan Is to
get to work to put democracy at its
best. Things will not be improved by
sitting back and cracking jests at them.
There is an abundance of serious toll
for those who have a mind to shape
the experiment of popular rule toward
the largest possible consequences OF
general good. Perhaps in our own
country the two greatest dangers are
ignorance and fraud at elections. In
the ideal republic there must be both
intelligence and honesty in the elector-
ate and these forces must be I'm the

themselves wherein their own democ-
racy falls short of this ideal. and then

The water backed UP in the bio.
coulee and flooded more or less most
OF the residences on the island. In
some houses the water was several
feet above the level of the first floor.
W. A. Knapp was busy all day
Monday with his kodak taking high
water views, some Of which were ex-
ceedlngly pretty, especially those
containing groups Of girls, and nearly
all did-so they say. :.
The north-bound train on Monday
was unable to proceed farther than
to the Roscoe coulee between here and
Argyle and had to return to Warren
where it remained all day. The south
bound train on Tuesday was a few
hours late owing to wash-out this
side Of Stephen.
The bend in the river occupied as a
home by the SHEAF man was com
pletely under water, bat fortunately
it did not rise high enough to get
into the building. In the garden had
been planted this spring large num-
Der Of different kinds Of berries, and
most of these were. washed away bv
the swift current.
The school building was entirely
surrounded by water, but fortunately
only little got into the basement,
and this was pumped out on Tuesday
afternoon. No school was held on
Monday and Tuesday. Teachers as
we'll as pupils were too much interest
ed in viewing the novel scenes and
enjoying the excitement caused by
the high water. r.. .

Notes On The Flood.

The railroad grade helped to check
the flow of the water to the west side,
which consequently was not SO badly
flooded.
Judge Lakin was seen on Tuesday
morning padding a raft with some
girls aboard in the street in front of
A. M. Shaw's residence.
M. J. Berget took high water views
from the cupola of the school house,
from which a good view Of the mum
dated territory was obtained.

To add to the excitement caused by
the food, the dismal tones Of the fire
bell re-echoed over the inundated CITY
shortly before 6 O'Clock p. m. on Mon
day. The lumber shed of the Nee
han Lumber Company had caught
fire, presumably from heat generated
by some unslacked lime stored there
in. The lime was not in contact with
the water, but sufficiently close to alb
sorb moisture enough to start the
stacking process. The fire depart
ment, after little delay, had a stream
of water turned onto the shed, but it
was impossible to save it's contents.
After the fire was supposed to be all
out, it blazed up again about 9 O'Clock
in the evening and again the fre-men
had to turn on the water. In the shed
was stored a large quantity of clear
lumber, much of it Washington fir
and cedar, also building paper and
other building material, valued at
81 600, and which was insured for
$1,000. The salvage is practically
nothing.

FLOOD AND FLAME.
WARREN VISITED BIZ BOTH MONDAY.
Snake River, SwelIed by Recent
Rains, Overflows Its Banks.

The waters swelled, the waters
rushed, is correct description Of the
condition of things almost everywhere
in Warren on Monday last. Our usu-
ally gentle, calm, peaceful and OBJ
scure little Snake river, which we are
accustomed to see gliding 50 serenely
and innocently along its meandering
course between clusters of trees, never
dreaming Of evil, nevertheless, at that
time took occasion to show what it
could door, rather,s could not do
when there was a greater supply of
water than it could carry between its
banks. Heavy rains on Saturday and
Sunday caused the river, which was
high from previous rains, to rise still
higher, and by Sunday evening peo-
pie living on low ground began to
fear a possible food. A few even then
had to move up stairs as the water
took possession of the first story, and
stock had to be moved out Of barns
along the river. During the night
the river continued tofswell and be-
fore morning many more found it nee
essary to move up stairs. At several
places east Of town the water over
flowed the banks, and came rushing
in rapid currents onward through the
streets and alleys Of the city. Side
walks foated in the water, which in
many instances was from one to five
feet deep, and rubber boots became a
necessary article Of footwear for all
pedestrians. All day Monday the
waters surged through the streets,
rising continually until evening came.
During the following night the river
fell two or three inches and on Tues
day the waters continued to recede.
Still that day the water continued to
flow, though in lesser streams, along
some of the streets. r..
The damage done by the food in
the city to cellars, buildings, gardens,
etc., is quite considerable. It is War
ren's first experience with a real food,
and though it is bad enough, still it
might have been great deal worse.
No homes are destroyed, no lives lost
and no bones broken.
At Crookston it is reported that
many houses have been carried away,
and much damage done, by Red Lake
river, which also is on rampage.
