to be a deep student of the financial

EX-SENATOR HILL, of New York,
warns the Democracy against overconfi-
dence and undue exultation over recent
Democratic victories. We don't think
the warning at all needed. No one is so
foolish as to regard the elections as
decisive of anything in the future.
They merely show, says the Pittsburg
Post, certain drift which may or may
not develop into the proportions of a
tidal wave at the congressional elections
next year.
Politics is becoming a much more un-
certain quantity than formerly, for the
reason, we suppose, that there has of
late been a great weakening in party
lines and attachments. The Demo
Gratis in 1892, and the Republicans in
1896, achieved great victories, and pre-
diction followed that the opposition was
dead for long time. This was shown
to be groundless as to 1892 and the
Democrats, and it will be equally so as
to 1896 and the Republicans. In both
instances the victorious parties were re-
cruited immensly by all the odds and
ends of politics. Their strength was
unduly swollen by the immense multi
tudes always in opposition but with no
fixed party attachment. This element
as soon as it votes party in straight
way proceeds to vote it out. No ad-
ministration can fulfill tithe of the
pledges made for it on the stump and
In vote-getting platforms. How is it

and they were exceptional men of ex-
ceptional parts. 1t is questionable if

unless the pressure of events and mark
ed capacity and personality make him a
great figure in the history of his time.
Party ties are loosing their hold Party
discipline is relaxed. The independent
and no-party men seem to be able to
swing the pendulum, and it is a law of
our latter day politics that after a trial
they are as quick to vote party out as
to vote party in. We all expect too
much of government, and hence are
bound to be disappointed, with the re-
pulting kick

Fatal Southern Cyclone.

Ozark, Ala, April 10.-A cyclone
passed over portion of Dale county
Thursday night, leaving wreck and dis
aster in its path. Many houses were
demolished. Several persons were kill
led. A Mrs. Powers was caught 10y the
falling timbers of her home and died be-
fore she could be rescued. The rest of
the family were rescued, including an
infant whom the mother saved at the
cost of her life. For many miles every
thing the farmers had was swept away
by the wind or ruined by the torrents of
rain The citizens of Ozark have sent
several wagon loads of supplies to those
in need.
The second portion of the cyclone
was detected upon the Flint valley,
breaking across south Georgia and pas
sing through Arlington, where but a
few weeks ago nine children were killed
in the ruins of school house. Reach
ing Valdosto, the storm became intensi-
fled in fury, and trees were blown down
in every part of the city. y church was
wrenched from its foundation and
twisted into fragments by the winds.
The box cars on the Plant system were
blown off the track. From many other
towns in the vicinity reports of an
equally alarming nature are coming in.

Highe est Water Ever known

New Orleans, April II The river
gauge fluctuates between Is and Is 2
feet. This brings the record up to one
tenth of foot higher than given by any
official data compiled. The river Is
certainly booming, and in spots the
water washes over the "aprons" of the
levees, making extensive deposits of
mud. The authorizes, however, deny
any additional apprehension, and are
resourceful in combating any inroads
made by the river, rapidly applying
temporary barriers of sacks filled with
earth and such other devices as appear
most expedient.
In the adjoining parishes of st. Ber-
nard and Plaquemines the levees suffer
most from wave washes, but officials
charged with the duty of maintaining
the embankments in good shape are
straining every nerve to keep out the
water. The present dry weather is a
Godsend and the rain-soaked levess are
drying quickly, facilitating improve
mPnts. In spite of the rising river the
situation can be described as salts
factory.

The seal Controversy.

Washington, April 12-The recen:
appointment of ex Secretary Foster and
exAssistant Secretary Hamlin by the
president to assist in the negotiations
now in progress with Great Britain re-
specting the Behring sea seal fisheries
Is indicative that this long standing
diplomatic issue has at last assumed
grave importance, and that an earnest
effort is to be made to end the present
unsatisfactory state of affairs, or at least
to place the subject on such a footing
before the beginning of the approach
ing season as will prevent it from pass
ing into a more serious phase. The
trouble appears to have been principally
through the refusal of the British
authorities to renew last year the regu-
iations requiring British vessels gong
into the seal waters to place their fire
arms under seal.

MILLIONS IN PROPERTY IN PERIL.
The Missouri River Threatens to Re-
sumo the Channel Abandoned 30 Years
Ago-Hsrd Fighting to Prevent 1t.
The Scared People Flee.

OMAHA, April l4.-Piling and boards
and bags of sand. old hay and stones
are being fed to the hungry nav of the
Big Muddy at Omaha in an effort to re-
strain the manifest intention of that
erratic stream to resume the channel
abandoned 20 years ago. 1t looks like
the effort might succeed. But all hope
is hedged about with provisos that the
river does not rise any higher, that
north wind does dot blow and, most un-
certain OF all, that the break in the bank
above Florence lake is not so bad as the
overflowing water indicates.
If the Missouri changes its channel
past Omaha it will destroy property to
the value of several million dollars.
The river broke through its banks about
a mile above where it left the old chan
mel 20 years ago and is running two
broad streams across what were fertile
market gardens. These streams run
into Florence lake. a relic of a former
cutoff. From Florence lake the water
is pouring into Cutoff lake.
Should the river complete the cutoff
it has threatened, East Omaha, with
extensive factory plants, including the
great Carter white lead works, will be
moved into Iowa, and the $4,000. 900
bridge of the East Omaha Terminal
company will be left across slough.
while the thousands of dollars eX-
pended by the government lii protecting
the banks of the river along the great
bend will have been wasted on a "cut
off, lake.
East Omaha and North Omaha are
flooded by the waters that are rushing
from the overfull Missouri river. The
residents flee for their lives, leaving
their possessions behind. The houses
are standing in the flood. submerged III
water from | to feet deep. Fields of
grain and fences disappear beneath the
surface of the water, and the trees no
longer show any trunks.
The flood is pouring in upon the low
lands of the East Omaha bottoms in a
stream that is estimated to be 1000 feet
in width. 1t is sweeping southwest
and is pouring into Florence lake. The
water in the lake has broken over the
levee that was built to separate it from
Cut Off lake, and it is now rushing
with ever increasing volume into the
latter. 1t is spreading over plowed and
planted fields, IL is driving residents
from their homes in North Omaha, 1t is
tearing up fences and threatening the
houses that stand from three to four
feet deep in the water. 1t is pouring
into Cut OFF lake just north of the long
bridge which leads to Courtland Beach.
If it continues 1t Is anticipated that
the lake will overflow its southern
banks If this should occur and the
rise be still maintained, the entire
southern portion of East Omaha would
be threatened with a most disastrous
food, as there is no elevation of the
land to stem the outpourlng.

IN an exhaustive discussion of the
principles of taxation by Mr.. David A
Wells, now running in The Popular Sci
ence Monthly, the principle is asserted
and supported with wealth of politi-
cal authority and legal decisions that
the Iightful object of taxation is the
support of government and its limit the
actual needs of government.
1t is upon this sound principle that
the Democrats of the house founded
their protest against the Dingley tariff
bill. They show that the Republican
tariff bill violates the principle in both
ways 1t levies taxes for the benefit of
private enterprise and levies far more
than the support of the government re-
quires. In effect, it collects a bounty
for distribution to favored individuals,
and in order that this may be done pro-
poses taxes from $4,000, 900 to S75,-
100000 in excess of the governments
needs. The Republicans propose dou-
BILE robbery of the people.

the matter. The action of the several

of 81 cents in favor of Miss Dickinson.
