TIE FIRE.

During the past week Bay st,
Louis has been the scene of a
most disastrous confagration, one
that has wiped away about the
most important and active por-
ton of the city, and as gener-
al result which in a measure
means much to the detriment of
the community's interests.
This time of the year, the
dawning of the most prosperous
season, stamps the calamity far
greater than its occurrence at any
other time for it is we'll known
that the bridging over of long
and extremely dull winter is by
no means anything but strain
on business solidity, and it was
at this tine the rays of that light
of full and plenty were giving life
to hope and encouragement.
Notwithstanding how active the
work of rebuilding, it will require
considerable time for the utter
obliteration of the calamity.
However, the extent of ruin,
had the high wind prevailed
which Immediately arose follow
ing the control of the flames,
would have been far greater and
in this midst of gloom and sad
ness there is space for rejoicing
and much to be thankful for.
That it might have been worse is
we'll to say.
Already contracts are being
made for rebuilding, and as we'll
as the largest of fires in towns
have been their making then let
us hope for the best and try Of
the worst to make the best.

An INCENDIARY.

That the origin of Wednesday
morning fire, in which so many
thousands of dollars were lost in
a space of so short time lis ques-
ton every effort possible should
be made to not let go unsolved.
Circumstances are too numer-
ons and evidences too positive to
say the fire was not of an incen-
diary origin, and editorially we
opine likewise. The time of oc-
currence, the initial course of the
belching flames and the rapidity
of the beginning alone tell the
work is a diabolical act, the idea
more criminal than that of a red
handed assassin, the conception of
an arch-fend; an escape from the
depths of hades.
| Strange a fire to originate in
two different places remote from
the other, and to spread with that
sameness which might have char
acterized one. And more strange
yet to consider the many peculiari-
ties connected with the subject.
Our people as rule are an up
right and peaceful one and be-
sides the consideration of the loss
entailed the thought alone that
the perpetrators of so gross an
outrage are in our midst should
spur them to action tillthat time
the criminal is captured, and
when captured the punishment
best will doubtless suggest itself.

AII-Levee prattIe.

1t is quile evident that those o.
our exchanges and other all-levet
friends have reach a conclusion with.
out scientific calculation or thought.
Here is from the Greenwood Delta
Flag:
1t IS amusing to read the discus
sion going on among our hill breth-
eren about the leyees. The Sea
Coast Echo asks of the Greenville
Democrat, ''Now will our contempo-
rary tell us why repeated overaows
occur in the face Of tlw building of
the levees higher each year?" We
can answer for the part of our levee
district. They don't. Leflore coun-
ty has not been overflowed since
1884; our population has largely in
creased, and the number of people
owing homesteads has doubled since
inc people have become convinced
that the levee protects MS. The mis-
erable pittance We have received
from the government does not amount
to anything. We have paid for our
levee and we are pleased with them,
and regret very much that they do
not please our hill contemporaries,
We have never heard of United
States engineer who had studied the
question that opposed the bnildin.
OF levees or expressed an opinion
that the water could not be held in
the Mississippi river. The river was G
feet higher this year than ever before
known on account Of the enormous
rainfall thousands Of miles from us.
We want the levees, bretheren, and
will never have another overflow. We
hope you will agree with us that It
pleases US and doesn't hurt YOU.
