sheet of water may be seen covering
the entire north half of the city.

All necessary shopping, marketing,

done in skiffs, and every street and
alley contains a whole fleet OF them,
built in every conceivable shape and

All three of the ~crevasses above here
are pouring their torrents INTO the

the eastern hills, and the whole coun-
try will unquestionably be filled up.
Communication by telegraph ia still
maintained with the outside world, but
with considerable work. AS fast as a
pole is thrown down a force Of men
hurry to the point and rebuild the line.
Railroad traffic is entirely cut off and
all roads running in here are tied up.
Mail is transferred at Elizabeth. II

been established between here
and some points. There are
about 10, 900 people in this city. -Four
or five thousand of these are in the

SHERMAN FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE.

The announcement made authorita-
lively by the Associated Press that the
post Of secretary of state in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's cabinet has been offered 10
Senator Sherman and accepted by him
will be taken publicly as a confirma-
ton of the supreme power of Mr..
Hanna in the new administration
The interior workings Of the deal are
Hanna could command anything that
he wanted in return for his services In
the late campaign. He could have had
cabinet post for himself After due
reflection, he concluded that he pre-
ferred a seat in the senate. To bring
this about, Mr.. Sherman is to be ap-
pointed secretary of state and the va.
cancy so created in the senate will be
filled by the appointment Of Mr. Hanna
and his subsequent election by the leg
islature
There could not be in such an ar
rangement any consideration of the fit
ness of the man for the office. We do
not find either in Mr.. Shermans natural
characteristics or in his past services
the display of any aptitude for the
position of secretary of state. His pub
lie services have been mostly in the
sphere Of finance. There are many
members of the senate who could be.
named having larger information and
natural qualifications for the state de-
partment. At the present juncture.
when Mr. Olney's triumphs have taught
us what a man Of sound and uncom,
promising views can accomplish, it is
not reassuring to learn that the work
is to be turned over to a politician
whose public life is one long series of
compromises and prostitution of con-
viction to political expediency.
Mr.. Sherman's age and his political
biography alike disqualify him for a
position of such responsibility and ex-

THE SOUND MONEY PROGRAMME

The advocates of a sound monetary
system for this country will not be dis
appointed with the action of the con-
ference Of representatives of business
organizations which has adjourned at
Indianapolis. Even among those who
call themselves advocates of sound
money, there is SO much difference Of
opinion as to details that harmony is
difficult to secure. The present politi-
cal situation adds to the difficulty and
danger. A party will come into power
a few months hence pledged by every
requirement of honor and the daily
promises of the campaign to maintain
the present standard and to reform
our currency system. Already within
two months Of the election, that party
has definitely abandoned it's ground,
falsified it's promises and openly pro-
claims that, while it will call an extra
session to pass a new tariff bill, it will
do nothing whatever to relieve the
country from the grave financial evils
from which it has suffered so severely.
and has still to expect so much danger.

fore, who have everything at stake,
