There is going to be 4 great de-
crease Of production in the Mississippi
valley this year unless all signs fail.
The overflow that now is and those
to follow will prevent a great deal
of land being put in crop, and also
destroy much that is already above
ground in the lower valley. Cotton
acreage promised to be greater in
that section than ever before, but the
conditions that now threaten are like
ly to cut the acreage twenty-five or
more per cent. Texas is in the best
possible condition for great crops Of
all kinds, and il her rain supply for
March and April is not cut short she
will pull long stroke for prosperi-
ty this season.

The bureau of American republics
do not take kindly to the announce
ment Of Secretary Sherman that he
will appoint a new director of that
bureau. There is an international
question involved in that appoint
ment that has not yet been disposed
of, and it questions the right of the
American secretary of state to make
the appointment of his own motion.
The matter will be satisfactorily set
tied, for the secretary will not trans

ENGLAND'S DISGRACE.

England has been growing into dis
repute for more than half a century.
Her utter disregard of the rights Of
other nations, only as she is compelled
to observe them through fear of the
consequences has again and again sub
iected her to the severst criticisms Of
her own people and to the denuncia-
ton of all rightminded nations. Since
her terrible career in India, than which
no. blacker page of history has been
written, she has ever been on the alert
to push her fortunes at the expense OF
lesser nations, and particularly among
the semi-barbarous people Of Africa.
There has always been this excuse for
her raids there, however, that she
wished to push her colonization
schemes and acquire as much as pos
slble of the outlying territory Of the
uncivilized world, for to her circum-
scribed condition in the North Atlantic
colonial possessions are indispensable.
There is not this excuse to offer for
her recent course in the Mediterran-
can. There neither the love Of con-
quest nor the desire for colonial
possession are operative. 1t is purely
and simply a case of national fear,
compelling a national course not only
big with present disgrace, but prom

The refugees now IN Memphis are

The refugees now IN Memphis are
approximately 5000. The number is
continually augmented by the arrival
Of relief steamers bringing their res
cued victims. Many of these had been
standing in the chill waters almost
to their shoulders hours before be-
ing taken out. The work of feeding
and sheltering these growing thou
sands should not fall upon Memphis
alone. The necessities of the case are
apparent and the need urgent. Ev-
cry city should aid and all the charity
of private benefaction respond to The
distress cry that rings out over that
waste Of water. 1t will be at least
u month before thousands OF these
now homeless ones will be able to re-
turn to their homes, and then they
will find nothing but it's desolate site.
Houses, fences, stock, property Of all
kinds swept away and only the mud
dy acres and their lives left.

There is really no probability Of the

strain that is going to be put upon
them in the next thirty days. The
floods of the Missouri will come down
before the river falls materially and
then the real trouble will begin. The
prospect is not pleasant that stares
the Southern Mississippi planter in the
face this year of grace.

The press committee of the operators
who participated in the conference issu-
ed a statement tonight, purportng to be
an account of the proceedings in confer
ence. After recting the several propo-
sitions under discussion in the confer
ence. and emphasizing the fact that
the miners representatives perempto-
riy rejected all propositions submitted
by the operators, the report says that
the operators have exhausted every eff
fort in trying to bring about settle
ment with the officials of the miners.
whose proposition could not be accepted,
because it meant an advance of 271a per
cent in wages cost, and would entail ir-
reparable losses on the producers.
The report adds: "Amicable and con-
ciliatory methods have failed to convince
or to move the leaders. The responsible
|ity for whatever privations follows to
the miners and their families must rest
upon the miners officials. The miners
officials, having rejected the proposition
made for an agreement, the operators
can only ask the miners to consider the
existing conditions and ask themselves
whether they are justified in continuing
a line of action which is dictatorial."
IHcH IL lS UIOddly oldltu lDdl the dC-
tion of Mr.. Ratchford is not above sus-
picion, and it is strongly in timated that
the miners officials are acting in league
with the Hooking Valley operators
against the interests of the Pittsburg
district miners.
