Ion. T. w. DeRossitt. of Lake Y

Hon. +. w. DeRossitt, of Lake Viii
lage, was a visitor to the city Wednes-
day and gave some interesting accounts
OF matters in the region of watery
waste. He stated that the flood was
perfect success, if its mission was to
cover the face of the earth from Crew
ley Ridge to the hills of Tennessee, a
distance OF some forty miles, running
east and west through his locality.
Out OF his 40 acres of most promising
potatoes only a quarter of an acre is
above the water line. This is the prin-
clpal loss to crops in his neighborhood.
He reported that very little suffering
among the people existed, and the loss
of live stock was very small; that he
had room on mounds above the water
for all his stock, as did most of his
neighbors. Mr.. DeRessitt is the pres
ent representative to the lower house
of the legislature from this county,
which body has been called to meet in
extra session on the Goth inst. When
asked as to his views on the no-fence
and levee- bond issues, he stated that
he was not much inclined to favoring
the fence measure, but that he was
heartily in favor of the issuance of the
levee bonds; and that, however, he
would soon call meeting of his con-
stituents in the valley townships and
would abide their will IN both matters.
lie regrets that the governor did not
advise the meeting of the legislature at
much earlier date than stated. That
in case they were relieved of fence
building 1t VAS very important for
them to know 1t at the earliest possible
period.

would have been benefit from 2 to

would have been benefit from 2 to
10 feet, which being the case many
acres, including whole farms, would
have been free from water.
Misfortune Is often the fortune
of individuals, stimulating them TO
greater exertion, why not apply to
public institutions? The coming
session of tho Legislature will be
called upon TO grant one of the
most important privileges that mas
ever affected the interest of Eastern
Arkansas. The st. Francis levee
board will apply for permission to
issue $3.50, 900 in levee bonds to
run for the terms of 10 to 70 years,
at 6 per cent interest. The levee
board asks this as o kind of loan
of credit from the district. The
present revenue, when fully col
lected amounts to 100000, and de-
Quoting 5000 interest on bonds
and $4,000 for maintaining the
levec and other expenses, tho board
would have $4,000 sinking fund
annually, and before the expiration
OF 10 years the bonds would be re-
deemed without increasing tho as
sessment. In addition to the rev
enue from the levee tax the board
has 100000 acres of land in its
own name, which would form q
part OF the collateral, which would
yield from 81 to 50 per acre as the
levee inspired confidence in its
bene6ciaries and the public, thus
reducing the interest to q minimum.
1t Is the duty of every advocate
of this measure to encourage the
passage of the bill referred TO. By
its passage the board will be ena-
bled to at once prosecute the work
and by the return of the next
freshet period have the line COM
p'eted TO point four miles below
mphis. From this point TO the
H. uth Of st. Francis river, its ter
mination,i it is confidently expected
the government will construct.

No Worse Than Nice.


The attacks upon the morality OF
Monte Carlo are made by its rivals fol

Labouchere. The English radical says:
Every year the number of visitors to
Monte Carlo increases and every year
more desperate efforts are made by it's
rivals along the Riviera to prejudice the
place with the British public That
Monte Carlo is paradise in, a moral
sense am not going to suggest. Every
man of the world knows that, like other
places entirely devoted to luxury and
pleasure, society there is not exactly
an assembly of saints. But that Monte
Carlo is any worse than other. pleasure

Phatically deny. AS to the results of
the gambling everyone who has been
behind the scenes knows that infinitely
more mischief is done in the gambling
hells of Nice every season than at the
tables of Monte Carlo, and / doubt
whether even Nice, which is in many
respects sink of iniquity, is any worse
than Ostend has been during the last
few seasons" T.

The Canadian Tariff.

The Denver Republican las re-
ceived letter from well known
mining engineer who is now en- route
to the Klondyks gold fields. Among
other things this gentleman says:
"a Canadian custom house officer
has pushed past us. taking with him
four deputies. He is to be assisted
by % mounted police in collecting
dues. averaging $50 from all miners
outfits. 1t seems hard as many will
be forced to return. This has been
done to force the men who plan COM
ing to buy their outfits in Victoria
instead OF Seattle, Portland or San
Francisco"
This engineer apparently thinks
that be has made a great discovery
when he declares that the object Of
the Canadian tariff is to force men
who propose to 60 to Canada to en-
gage in mining or other business to
purchase their outfits in Capada in
stead Of the United States. OF course
that is it's object just as it is the OBJ
ject of American tariff laws to COM
pei Americans and all who come to
this country to purchase their out
fits Of all kinds in the United States.
It is called encouraging the "in-
FAINT Ldstries," preserving the
home market" and the like.
In this country those who favor such
policy claims that it makes things
cheaper than they would be under a
policy of a tariff for revenue only,
though Americans in Canada find
that it does not work that way there.
That il does not may be accounted
for by the difference of, climate con-
ditions that exist in our Lady Of
Shows.
Why should this mining engineer
express any surprise that the tariff
works as it does IN Canada? Surely
he must have sadly neglected to study
the political issue that has been fore
most in his own country to be so ig-
norant as to the effect of tariffs and
their OBJECT.
1t is not improbable the experien ce
Of American tariff in Canada will
cause them to fully realize the bale
full effects Of our own pro,libitive tar
if policy. II it does thl then the
thousands Of Americans who are
fiocking to the Klondyke gold fields
will come back as propagandists of a
freer and more liberal tariff policy in
