He SAYS YES; SHE SAYS No.-"You
may say that L will never hear to a
reconciliation with my wife," said
Stewart II. Ford to State reporter last
night. "I don't want the article in the
State misconstrued so that am willing
to drop the divorce proceedings. Make
it as emphatic as you can"
Mr.. Ford was angry when he came
into the State Office to protest against
the publication of the statement that
efforts were being made by Mrs. Small
Ford to bring about .'kiss and make
upn act with him. He was easily
smoothed down, however, and shown
that the article did not charge him with
trying to bring about reconciliation.
Mr.. Ford then told the. writer all
about the reported attempt at bridging
the marital chasm. He more than con-
tirmeG what the State had said. He
spoke of receiving fowers on his birth
day anniversary, the gift of which he
ieIieyed Mrs. Ford had inspired. He
also told about his receiving a copy of
"Othello," which, while he couldn't
say positively came from his wife, he
had reason to think she had sent it..
He unhestatingly said that she wanted
10 make up.
Before his departure he reiterated his
statement that Mrs. Ford had given
evidences of desire to end the matri-
mouial troubles by reconciliation and
believed that she was going energeti-
cally at work about it.
Later in the afternoon the State re.
ceiyed visit from Mrs Ford. She was
not in calm state of mind. She de.
MED that she had made any overtures
to her husband Richmond State.

DAVIS, HOUSE AT BEAUyOIR.

Mrs. Murfree, Of Meridian, Miss,
Vice President of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy of that State, ap-
peared before the Missouri Daughters
of the Confederacy at the Jefferson
Club Tuesday afternoon and asked as
satsnce to carry out q plan for the pur-
chase of the old home of Jefferson
Davis, at Besuvoir. This is the work
the United Daughters of the Confeder
acy have in hand at present, and the
national organization is seeking to en-
list the support OF all kindred societies.
The historic Davis mansion at Beau.
voir, Miss, has long been drain up.
on the scanty resources of Mrs. Davis
and her daughter. To an ordinary
purchaser she would not sell it, but
when the plan to buyit with the money
raised by the women OF the South was
broached, she consented TO permit its
use for such q purpose. In this pro.
ject the women of the South see dou-
BILE benefit. 1t will provide home
for unfortunate Confederate veterans,
and the purchase money will afford a
sum sufficient to place Mrs. Davis in
comfortable financial circumstances
while she lives. Fifty thousand dollars
is the sum required to purchase the
mansion at Beauvoir and tit it for use
as home for veterans, and it was as
slstance in raising this money that Mrs.
Murfree asked. While not allied, ex-
cept in sympathy to the United Daugh.
ers of the Confederacy, the Missouri
Daughters of the Confederacy promised
to do their share toward the worthy
object. The Missouri Daughters have
their hands full with their own own
undertakings, but they assured Mrs.
Murfree of support.-[St. Louis Repub-

Let Us Be Just.

That Gen Catchings has labored
earnestly and efficiently in the inter-
est of the levees, common honesty will
not admit any one to deny. He is re-
garded to-day as the best authority in
congress on levee matters, and it is
disCreditable to the candOr Sf the pa
per that seeks to belitte and discredit
Cstchings in this regard. We are not
with Gen. Catchings on the financial
question, and the writer was opposed
to him for the nomination, But all ct
that does not so warp our Judgment
and fire our prejudice that we are
thereby blinded to anything good 10
him. He is a man of great ability, OF
largo aud varied legislative experience,
and IN matters pertaining to the le-
wees he probably has no peer III
America The metropolitan press of
the country all unite IN according to
Gen. Catchiugs this distinction. To
succeed in inducing the federal gov
ernmeut to take hold of the Mlssis-
sippi levees and solve that great pro-
blem will undoubtedly place him
"first In the hearts Of his fellow coun-
trymenn of the delta, 1t will be an
accomplishment well worthy of the
labor of n life time, and the people OF
the delta will not forget the man who
achieves iL-GreeuwOOd Common
wealth.

A NATIONAL HIGHWAY.

The following, from that excellent
business periodical, the Manufacturers
Record, shows that General Catchings'
claims for the Mississippi find ready
echo in the minds of thinkers all over
the country, and that the bAliof that ii
Is a national, and not merely a local
or State interest, has supporters be-
You'd the section which il Immediately
benefits or menaces:
Whatever plan may be adopted
must recognize at the outset the prin-
eiple laid down by Representative
Catchings, Of Mississippi, speaking TO
a measure for immediate relief of the
food sufferers. He announced that
be would introduce at the next session
of Congress a bill which "shall appro-
pirate a 81 m sufficient to complete the
embankments along the river, so as to
make it absolutely impossible that 30
shameful disaster shall ever be suf-
fered by this great government to be-
fall any of its citizens" And he said
that the river belongs TO the nation
that It's control is beyond local power,
and that the government should take
exclusive possession OF it. The solu-
tion of the problem will not be reached
through captious criticism of methods
heretofore employed, or by philosophy
of the I.told.you.so order. The Mis-
slssippi river Is too gigantic natural
power to be studied by quarrelsome
brain, or to be controlled by an ex-
penditure of money upon State lines,
or in inadequate supply by the gener-
al government, 1t q great national
highway of commerce, likely, until
scientifically restrained, to menace the
lives and property of thousands of
American citizens. Inhabitants of the
States through which IL flows have
worked nohly for their Sslf-protectiou,
but mere State energy ia incompetent
to handle satisfactorily An element
which utterly disregardb localities. 1t
is the duty Of the general government
10 take the task in hand aud carry it
10 a successful accomplishment; or, in
the words of Representative Catch
ings, "to take possession Of this great
artery Of commerce to put it in
chains and harness aud restrain it 80
that It eau be beat adapted and util-
lied by the people for their CONNER
cial purposes but over and above
all, "to protect its people from destruc-
tion," and It 10 likewise the duty of
the people of the valley to render all
possible assistance to the government
in its k.-Manufacturers Record.

CLOSE THE CREVLSSEs.

The question which lie of the most
vital and immediate importance to the
people Of the inundated district is the
closing Of the breaks al the earliest
possible moment. To argue In favor
Of such action is go unnecessary as to
verge on absurdity. A vote of the
people, If taken to decide the purpose
for which Suy funds now available, or
any credit even, should be used, would
be practically unanimous Oh the sub.
Jsct, aud would call impsrStivcIy for
action to close the crevAHSSs or 10 at
least lessen the how of water through
them as soon as it was possible to get
to work. From this time until the
goth of May every day is golden,
Every week gained or lost means as
much as a month in ordinary years.
Even If the work must be done under
contract, payable at future day, it
should be done. The only means left
US for neutralizing the injury to the
couhtry's interests and credit is by
raising crop this year If that can
be accomplished the effects of the dlsas-
ter will be mlnimized, and in year
or two will be practically forgotten.
1t is true that the prospects for relief
from water by natural means are
good, and 1t is indicated that by the
latter part of May the waters will re-
cede even If nothing 10 done to hasten
the relief by artificial means. 1t ill
becomes an enterprising community,
however, to cit still and wait for the
realization of hoped for but uncertain
conditions when all they have is at
stake, aud all active effort of their own
eau accomplish what they so ardently
desire. When TIE water ceases to
now through the crevasses it will
quickly disappear from the land !; but
until the influx does cease we cannot
hope for relief. The condition may
be prolonged indefinitely by many
occurrences. Slight rises III the upper
rivers caused by rains may keep the
Mississippi at food stage until tho
June rise, coming on the top OF an
already full river, may keep the water
over the Delta until all hope of crop
must be abandoned. The risks are
too many, aud the interests involved
are too great 10 be srifed with. If
there is any money available at pres
ent, or even If ii is necessary TO resort
to future contracts, the PLAIN duty of
closing the creVasses, or at least less
ening, as far as possible, the flow of
water through them, should be done
as speedily as the conditions will
