Floods Past aud present.

New Orleans Ficayune.
The notion that the floods have been
aggravated by the couhning OF the river
by the leyees, and the theory that the
hoods are increased il severity by TIE
cutting down OF forests. are not supported
by the facts OF history.
Long before there We're any considerable
sections OF leyeed lands IN the Mississip
p valley. and when there had been but
little CLEARING oil of the vast forests that
once covered Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Ken
lucky. Tennessee. West PENNSYLVANIA and
West Virginia, the region which IS chiefly
responsible for the great floods in the Mis-
sssipp! river. there were seasons when
the mighty waters covered the greater part
Of the Mississippi valley.
Records Of these floods are to be found
in the important report OF the Mississippi
river, by Generals Humphreys and Alb
bot OF the United States engineers. The
facts were collected from every attainable
source, and present surprising information
to those who suppose that there were no
extraordinary overfows from the river in
the period before levees and extensive
wood cuttings were known.
Ii is somewhat astonishing TO read that
in 1873, 1852 years ago. the river rose If
teen above low water at New Orleans and
inundated the city. The official reports
show that in Louisiana. as late as 1852. the
loTees extended only twenty miles below
and thirty miles above New Orleans. and
there was not a levee in Arkansas and
Mississippi. The settling process in tho
country along the river was gradual. ex-
cept on the bluffs. AS late as 1905. after
Louisiana had como into Tho possession Of
the United States. the official reports show
mat there We're no settlements ON the
lowlands o! the territory Of Louisiana above
rolnto Coupe except small place called

COTTON FUTURES.

VI s.'i VVtNVH lutuffa, Is one Oh the most
remarkable documents ever brought be-
fore body OF lawmakers for serious con-
ssieratlon. Not only does the bill show
utter disregard Of constitutional law and
attempt to give Texas Jurisdiction over
parties outside the State, but 1t shows
wofu Ignorance Of the whole system OF
cotton speculation and future delivery
trndlng.
That Mr.. Colquitt and those who favor
tho bill really believe that the system
Is an evil. Is not doubted. They arc I'M
doubleday honest In their views and are
not actuatci by the desire to put them
selves in favor with certain classes. The
fact that three-fourths of the Texas farm
ers raise cotton and that seven-e ghths Of
THIS number believe cotton speculation
causes their product to deprecate IA
value, could certainly have no Influence
upon Mr.. Colquib and his colleagues
That market manipulators and Liverpool
sp'nners are held responsible for every
decline In cotton. and that many unln-
formed persons believe that gambling in
chalk marks" causes all the woes OF the
cotton raiser. IS certainly not the only
reason for Mr. Colquitt's bill. He and
those who urged tho passage of this bill
evidently believe that trading in cotton
futures Is a high mlsdemeanor. and de-
serves severe punishment.
They certainly can NOT FOR one moment
imagine that any law passed by Texas
would have tho slightest Influence upon
the worlds price OF cotton. or would In
! terfcre whatever with the future delivery
system. This system is a business noces-
s'ty ANA is used IN legitimate trading as
