Red River BOOmiuu.

SHREVEPORT. La. March ia heavy
rainfall visited this section of the State.
causing several washouts on the different
railroads entering this city and sending
Red River on a booming rise. Although the
present gauge OF the river does not indi-
cate that there is any present likelihood
OF a serious and damaging overflow yet the
planters are beginning TO grow apprehen-
sive as TO the rain continuing and the
river both AT this station and above is ris-
ing rapidly. The levee on the Caddo and
Bossier side are in splendid condition and
are capable Of withstanding any ordinary
high water. Observer Charles Davis of the
Weather Bureau, stated that the total ram
fall for the past forty-eight hours amounts
TO 2 50 inches. When asked what he Thought
the effect OF the heavy rainfall at Fulton
and at this station would have on the river
he stated that il would undoubtedly make
the river rise considerably but that he was
not at all apprehensive of extremely high
water.

rates still higher, must reduce income
still further. Unless some other action
Is taken to raise revenue, the deficit
Of the treasury will continue and will
grow 1t will have to be met by drafts
upon the funds in the treasury, and
either gold or treasury notes, or both,
must be paid out
it is perfectly easy, when the move
ment once gets under way, to pull $10.-
100000 a week in gold out Of the treas
ury. That process was stopped by the
last bond sale, and still more by the
agreement between the great financial
houses to preserve the rate of exchange
at such point that gold exports would
not be prohibited. That agreement Is
now void, and the same temptation ex-
lists. The gold that has been sent away
in the last two weeks was taken out of
the treasury by the usual process Of
presenting greenbacks for redemption.
The endless chain is still there, and our
Republican friends, who have settled
the financial question by passing tar
if bill, and are wondering why anybody
should think that insufficient, have a
little picnic of their own ahead
of them. We predict with confidence
that before Mr.. McKinley's administra-
ton is over, If nothing is done to re-
form the currency or to retire the
greenbacks, it will be in exactly the
same plight as the last, and will be
obliged to choose between issuing mere
bonds and going with a slump to the
silver and paper basis. One Of the de-
lights of insincerity and trickery in
politics is that, sooner or later, retri-
button follows. The Republican party
has put the financial question behind
it with a wave of the hand, but the
question is coming back, with thou
sand armed troubles at it's side, to
plague the towards and traitors who
dared not face it and settle it honor
ably.

opportunity and grasped 1t. The reci-

greater share of the RENTED duties

Later discord arose between the Pa

with rapture. He built an enormous

also had the contracts with the plant

as sufficient, and it has proposed some

planters are not disposed to accept. To

which we alluded alleged this as one Of
the reasons for annulling the treaty
because it threatens to destroy our

Now Senator Nelson can see that he
is playing right into the hands of the
most arbitrary and absolute Of all the
trusts by his Hawaiian amendment, the
mere offering Of which is club in the
hands of the trust to drive the planters
to terms; and that the policy Ct his
antitrust amendment demands that, if
it be true that the Hawaiian planters
will establish Independent refineries, no
such obstruction be put in their way as
would be the repeal of the treaty. The

ON Il NEUIhALlZES TILE UEHER.
Senator Nelson has proposed two
amendments for the Dingley bill whose
contradictory effects he evidently does
not apprehend. One proposes to give
to the president power to place upon
the free list any imported article whose
like, made in this country, is the sub
ject Of any trust or combination formed
for the purpose of controlling output or
price. This is for the purpose, of course,
of preventing the formation or exist
ence of these organizations, so far as
their formation or existenceis made pos
sible or is assisted by any tax on i'm
ports The other amendment is one
proposing to annul the treaty of reci-
procity with Hawaii under which there
is free trade between the two countries
in most articles, but particularly in
sugar, the chief product of the islands.
This amendment is probably intended
to provide revenue by subjecting Ha-
waiian sugar to the same tax as that
from other countries that pay no boun-
ty on exported sugar.
1t is entirely probable that the sena-
tor is not aware that the latter amend
ment antagonizes the former one for
two reasons. The first is that the pro-
tective rates of the Dingley bill, espe-
cially on articles in the wool, metal
and pottery schedules, are so high that
they must decrease imports and there
by diminish revenue; and the second Is
that the administration would not be
able to do without the sugar revenue
by free-listing imports, although the
output and price of sugar in this coun-
try are controlled by the sugar trust. If
he will seek the information, he will
find facts that will convince him that
his Hawaiian amendment will play d.
rectly into the hands of the sugar trust.
The story is an interesting one, as IL

price for each carriage is $685. and the COM
pany was as low as any Of the thirteen large

places that city In line for future contracts.
Much credit is due to Senators Davis and

and showed why ST. Paul was properly located
