River to Recede at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, March 23.-For the first
time in many weeks the Mississippi
river is reported falling at Memphis,
the gauge reading 81 feet. Several
breaks in the levees are known to have
occurred between Osceola, Ark, and
Memphis, and the fall of the river here
is attributed to these crevasses. The
break at Sans Souci is widening, and
the mad rush Of the waters through
the opening can be heard for miles.
Three additional breaks, all near Sans
>Souci, are reported. and the suffering
of the people i'll Eastern Arkansas will
surely be greatly intensified.
The railroad situation at Memphis is
somewhat better. The Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley have sent its trains to
New Orleans, the tracks between Men,
phis and Lakeview having been raised
above the water level. The Illinois

| whole face of the earth is submerged
except here and there a small Indian
mound remains above water. There
are many breaks in the levee, or at
least many places where the water is
running over the levee like IA millrace.
The water is also pouring over the
Kansas City railway at three places III

Two Mean Men Of Kentucky.

Parson Richey is very popular as mat
rimonial mechanic, and is frequently
called on for his services, says the Owens
boro Press. One day a pretty hard-fav-
ored fellow came to him on a mission of
this kind, and when he had told his bust
ness asked what the fee would be- Il do
not make any regular charge said the
parson Pay me whatever you like"
mo, l want you to say" said his custom
er. "Oh. well,' said the parson, pleasant
ly, "just pay me according to the kind of
girl you're getting The fellow leered
toward the parson, and. with an Sodious
expression on his countenance said in a
confidential tone: 'Wen, I'll tell you
Mr.. Richey, she amt much" Parson
Richey did not earn any fee in that case,
for he refused to tie helpless woman to
a scoundrel like that.
Almost as mean was the fellow who went
into a saloon and called for half pint of
whisky, at the same time laying down
dollar. When he got the bottle in his
hands he asked: whats it worth?"
Twenty-Five cents was the answer.
"Ain't you got any fifteen-cent whisl6y?'
yes" said the barkeeper but it isn't
good" 'Itll do" said the mean man;
''gi' me that. It's just for my wife. She's

No Way to Protect the Treasury.

The other day we published a statement
to the effect that the appropriations OF
this congress would, in all probability.
greatly exceed those Of the famous bill
ion dollar congress" The fact that the
extravaganza Of that congress was con-
demned by the people does not seem to
have had the effect Of making congress-
men more economical in disbursing the
public money.
In an address before the State Bar Asso-
citation of New York last Tuesday Post
master General Wilson, speaking of
the workings of our constitutional sys-
tenn. declared that the special weakness
of the system sis the fact that in neither
house Of congress is there any one leader
or any organization Of leaders whose spe-
cial duty it is to protect the treasury and
check the growth of public expenditure,
to challenge and defeat private raids on
the treasury and to hold that firm balance
between income and outgo that is as es-
sential in the long run in national as
in individual housekeeping" Those who
give this matter careful consideration
will be forced to admit that what Mr. Will
son says is true. Each member feels that
he owes it to his constituents to get from
the treasury all he can for his congress
sional district, and when there is doubt
among the members about getting all they
demand many combine and try to pass all
their bills calling for the appropriation
of money. At the last session of congress
there ought to have been very great
reduction in the appropriations, because
Of the falling off of the governments in
come. Instead of a reduction there was
a noticeable increase. The members knew
that there was a surplus, owing to the
sale of bonds to obtain gold hence they
argued that the treasury would meet all
demands upon it, even if the demands
were more than usually extravagant.
And the indications are that congress at
this session will be even more extravagant
than it was at the last session.
Mr. Wilson thinks that the weakness to
which he calls attention ought to receive
attention, that power ought to be lodged
somewhere to check extravaganza by
keeping the expenditures of the govern
it is true, has the veto power, but he can
not veto separate items of an appropria-
ton bill. The only thing he can do is
to veto an entire bill, and to do that would.
deal of harm.
