RELIEVING DISTRESS.
The President Recommends Federal Aid
For Sufferers

The President sent the following message
to the senate u the House of Representa-
,iyes:
TO the Congress OF the United states:
Information which has recently come 10
me from the governors OF Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, and from prominent
citizens Of these States and Tennessee. war
rants the conclusion that widespread dis
trcss. involving the destruction OF a large
amount OF property and loss OF human life,
mas resulted from the floods which have sub
merged that section of the country. These
are stated, on reliable authority. 10 be the
most destructive floods that have ever devas-
tated the Mississippi valley. the water being
much higher Than the highest stage ii has
reached before.
Details Of the extent Of the ravages Of the
flood are given aud the President says
further:
Under the circumstance the citizens Of
these States look for the cooperation and
support OF the national government in re-
licving the pressing cases Of deslitution for
food. clothing and shelter, which are beyond
the reach Of local efforts The authorities
who have communicated with the executive
recognize that their first and most energetic
duty is 10 provide rs far as possible the
means OF caring for their own citizens; but
nearly all OF them agree In the opinion that,
after their resources have been exhausted, u
sum aggrecatinG at least Slj0,O00, and
possibly 200, 900 will be required for in
mediate use.
'Precedents are not wanting that in such
emergencies a. this Congress has taken
prompt. generous aud intelligent action. in
volyins the expenditure OF considerable sumo
OF money. with satisfactory results. In 1874,
$500, 600 was appropriated, and III 1882,
$3.50, 600 was also appropriated for relief In
the same direction, resides large sums IN
other ways.
The Citizens Relief Committee of Mem
ph!s. when has taken prompt action, has
already cared for from 1000 10 1000
refugees from the flooded districts, and they
ar" still arriving IN that city IN large num-
hcrs daily. supplies and provisions have
been sent To the various points in Arkansas
and Mississippi by this committee, but the
utmost that can be done by these efforts is 10
partly relieve the most accute cases Of sui-
icriug. No action has yet been taken for the
great majority of the inhabitants living in
the interior. whose condition has already
been dcscribed.
Under these conditions, ard having eN-
erted themselves to the fullest extent, the
local authorities nave reluctantly confessed
their inability to further cope with this dis
trcssing situation unaided 'y relief from the
government.
at has, therefore, seemed to me that the
representatives. Ui the People should be
promptly Informed OF the nature and extent
OF the suffering and needs OF these stricken
people, aud | have communicated these facts
in the hope and belief that the legislative
branch OF the government will promptly re-
enforce the work of the local authorities in
the Suites named.
