The 18-foot levee at Shipland Landing,
Mississippi, gave way Wednesday, and Issa-
quena, Sharkey and Yazoo counties, where
there was a foot of back water before, will be
still further inundated. The Bureau Of Sta

pared an estimate showing that the value of
the farm lands in the Lower Mississippi Valley
now submerged is over $90,000,000 These
lands last year raised crops valued at ST.,

Where is Congressman Baker? Is there
nothing he can do for the second congressional
district? Up to March q 1884 bills had been
introduced in the House, and not one Of them
by Baker His name does not appear at all
in the Index of the Congressional Record
from March Is to 81. Let him make mo-
ton to adjourn at least; this inactivity Of the
member from this district is monotonous.

Boss Wellington, in the Rockville postmas-
tership matter, had to forego his choice, or
have sharp contest with Congressman Nc
Donald In the contest Mcdonald would
have been backed by everybody in the state
who was not looking for an Office. The posi-
ton of the self-appointed Boss was altogether
unteaable, even from the standpoint ola Boss.
Had he stood ont for his man it is probable
the Postofice Department would not have
sustained him, and he could not afford to have
been sat down upon SO early in his career as
Boss, so he dropped his favorite and let Nc
Donald have his way.

Westminster is not the only place that has
been disappointed by Boss Wellington. He
was expected to attend the cornerstone lay
ing at Methodist church, at Kensington,
Montgomery county, on Tuesday, but was
conspicuous by his absence. His promised
signature upon applications for Office are
likely to be missing upon many of them.

The Secret Il Out,

No Republican has yet attempted toexplain
why the outgoing Republican state treasurer
only turned over to his reform successor
$4,000 when his Populist predecessor had left
in the treasury more than 100000. There was
decrease Of $4,000. What became OF it,
Pop papers.
Heavens! the awful secret is out.
For months the Gazette has hoped
against hope that this great crime
would be hidden. But it is out. The
world may as well know the sicken-
ing facts. They are horrible, but they
must be revealed. But keep the chill
dren's eyes from these brutal details.
Burn this paper as soon as you read
it. The bloodstained truth about
that $500, 900 decrease is that it was
legislated out of the state treasury
with the knowledge, consent and con.
trivance Of the Populst state senate
which existed during the two years Of
Republican regime. Not one penny
was spent without the official 30. X. :"
of that Populist appropriation COM

plate. Let it soon be forgotten. The
facts are dreadful. "Cover them

State Warrants Unpaid.

For the first time in years the treas
urer Of the state is putting a notice
on the state warrants that they can
not be paid because there is not money
enough in the treasury. The Pops
do not know how to do business.
They have been inpower for only nine
months and here we are practically at
a bond-issuing stage. The trouble is
that the men who compose the party
never had any business Of their own
to manage and they do not know
what to do with that Of the state. 1t
will be a wonder II the old common
wealth does not have to hold her hat
on the street and beg for aims before
the people get chance to turn the
incompetents out.

The success of the late John Lun-

ton Of the opportunities Of Kansas
coming here with scarcely a dollar
living in tiny cabin and paying for
his first land with carefully hoard
ed receipts, he died at 60 worth about
$3.50, 900, two-thirds Of it in Kansas
land. He succeeded because he made
farming business. He never specu'
lated, never "took chances" never
wasted effort. We do not recall ever
having seen him talking politics on
the streets through a long summer
afternoon-indeed only those near to
him knew his politics. He dug bis
fortune out Of Kansas soil and put II
back into Kansas land. To be sure,
not all had his early opportunities to
select fine, rich bottomlands; not all
are blessed with his excellent judg'
ment, but his success is ample proc

offers opportunities for ample success

Bryan's Diamonds.

The people who are now devoting
their attention to a criticism of Mr..
Bryan because he wears diamonds
should remember that Mr.. Bryan
must have a place to invest his money.
He has been making great deal Of
money since he talked himself into
notoriety at the Chicago convention,
leyying tribute at every village at
which he spoke during the campaign,
and charging enormous prices for his
speeches and lectures since that
time, while his book is said to have
brought him in large sums Of money.
For this money he must find some
permanent investment" He does
not believe that the prosperity which
is with us has come to stay, conse-
quently he cannot afford to invest it
in stocks and bonds or business en-
terprises. He is an enemy of the
railroads, he says. though he is quite
willing to ride over them on free
passes, and therefore cannot be ex-
pected to invest in their stocks and
bonds. As to national banks, or
banks of any sort, he has horror Of
them, and takes occasion at every
opportunity to attack them. OF
it cannot be expected that he
will "hoard gold" Therefore, what
is left Mr.. Bryan for investment ex-

Wheat and Silver.

Every days market reports show
the ialsity Of Mr.. Bryan's argument
that wheat and silver 60 up and down
together. At the beginning Of Sep
TENDER, 1896, just at the time when
the Bryanite canvass was at Its height,
prices Of silver and Of wheat, at the
unit Of each, we're equal. They part
ed company, however, Immediately
aiterward, and have never been with
in hailing distance Of each other since.
Thirteen months ago an ounce Of sill
YER would buy a bushe Of wheat. One
month ago it would have taken over
ounces Of silver to do this During
those twelve months, while the gem
eral tendency of silver was downward
the tendency of wheat was Just as
steadily upward In the five weeks
which have passed since September /,
prices Of silver have gone up and
down several times and prices of
wheat have gone down and up, but
they never went in the same direction
at the same time.
Even the argument that silver fol-
lows the general trend" of prices of
all staple products to which Mr.. Bryan
switched later on does not hold.
While the market figure shows a
heavy decrease in silver prices in
the past twelve months, in three
months there has been an advance in
nearly every staple product. The
Bryanite fraud Of a relation between
silver and other commodities has been
exposed along the whole line, and the
proof that the leaders OF that party
were either ignoramuses or falsifers
is now made plain to all their dupes
