IN dsference to 8 complaint made by the Swiss minister, Secretary Sherman has writtea letter to the Governor of Iows, quoting the following provisions from the treaty between the United States and Switzerlsnd: No higher impost, under whatever name, shall be exscted of the citizens of one of the two countries residing or established in the other than shall bs levied upon the citi- zens of the country in which they reside, nor any contribution, whatever, to which the latter shall be liable.

PRoF. ARTHUR Goss, of the College of ARioulsure and Mechanics Arts in New Mexico has been making a very pecu- liar and valuable investigation, which is reported es Dietary Studies in New Mexico in 1885," in the shape of Bulle- tin No. 40, of the U. s. Department of Agriculture. Among other things he hes made close scientific study of the food of many native Mexican families of that Territory, taking the exact qusn- sity of eech material consumed, which shows comparatively small quantity of animal food, while vegetable food forms large proportion of their sustensnce, and especially those vegetables carry ing the carbohydrates, such ss rice, flour, beans aud sugar. He finished his report with the observation shat "tbe members of these fam ilies look sheelthy and we'll nouF- ished." One of these families consisted of five persons, all grown bub one girl of seven years, and the earnings Of the en tire family were less than $500 per year. This is what might be called cheap living. and yet is appears to be fully sufficient for all purposes of health and strength of the persons concerned. It must be remem bsred tb6t not only the food, but all other necessities O: this family came out of that $500. Such facts ss these should be considered b, such people as the .lvation Army pro
 poses to colonize in She west, where or so small amount of money they can b. practically independent and have al

The Great Southern Flood.
THE WATER Is RUSHING UPON
TWO HUNDRED THOUs-
AND PEOPLE.
Through Many Breaks 1t Is Poured
Into the Yazoo Delta Valley of
Mississippi-The River
Still Rising.

WASHINGTON, d. o., March 3d.
The Weather Bureau to-day issued
the following special river bulletin:
During the last "a hours the Ohio,
Cumberland, Tennessee and Arkansas
rivers have fallen slowly, and the Red
River has risen. The Central st.
Francis River has risen two feet since
Saturday, and is still rising rapily.
The Upper Mississippi from st. Paul
to Dubuque has risen slightly, and is
above the danger line at Lacrosse.
The Mississippi has fallen slightly
from Keokuk to Cairo, and risen
from Helena to New Orleans, except
a slight fall at Arkansas City, due to
a crevasse near that place. 1t is
above the danger line from Cairo to
New Orleans, and from Memphis to
Arkansas City;it is above the extreme
high water of any previous year.
During the last 4s hours the follow
ing average rainfall in inches and
tenths has occurred in the respective
river basins, VIZ:
Red 20, Arkansas 0.5, Cumberland
and Tennessee O.6, Central and Lower
Mississippi o..
From Davenport to st. Louis nc
flooding has occurred, except on the
islands and low lands, of which ample
warning was given by the Bureau last
week. In no case has water reached
the tops of levees in this district, mol
is it likely to from the water now il
sight.
Serious breaks in the levees have
occurred within the last 4S hours al
Australia, Stop Landing and Way
side, Miss. The water from these
crevasses will flow into the Yazoe
Basin, and it is probable that counties
of Bolivar, Washington, Issaquens
and Starkey, Mississippi, will be
flooded. The situation at Greenville
| Miss, is considered extremely crit
| cal.
Until the period of extreme danger
| from foods in the Lower Mississippi
is past, a daily bulletin giving the

district and in the river basins tribu'
tary to it, based on reports of thu
local Weather Bureau Officials, vii
be issued by the Weather Bureau.

FRESH in the saddle and with a clear
field, the Republican party is already
riding for a fall. 1t is disregarding the
very primer lessons of experience. 1t
is illustrating again the unteachable
faulty of fanatical faddists, the prov
erbial shortwittedness of greed. Re-
publican stupidity is Democratic OPP
portunity. This is no time for petty
factional quarrels, for foolish cavort-
ings on hobby-horses. The Republic
cans have given the Democrats an is
sue on which they cannot fail to win
the tariff, with it's logical corollaries
of trusts, ~monopolies and public prod
igality. That issue must be made and
kept broad enough to attract all who
IRE in sympathy with the cardinal
Democratic principle - government
for all the people, and not for the ele-
walton and enrichment of a favored
few. The Baileyites, the McMillinites
and the Blandites disagree as to de-
tails. They are agreed upon the main
proposition. That, then, must be the
issue, because that expresses the will
OF the overwhelming majority of
Americans. Let US have harmonyt,
Let us have patriotism! Let us have
statesmanship! Let us have victory!

AUSTIN CYCLONE SWEPT.
Texas Homes Blown to Pieces by the
Wind-Flying Debris Kills
Two Persons.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 29.-This city
and the surrounding country were
visited by a terrific windstorm of fear
full force that did no end of damage to
life and property. The wind came
from the southeast and blew about
fifty miles an hour for nearly twenty
minutes, tearing down trees or split
ting them asunder with awful fury.
Several large electric towers were
blown down, entailing q loss of some
81, 900 or 5000. The iron frames were
twisted as though they were of wire.
Quite a number of houses in the resi-
dent portion of the city were blown
down.
The new and u~noccupied residence
of Burt Mcdonald was blown down,
striking against the residence Of Mr..
VIM. Vinging, knocking in n side OF
the building. The wind played havoc
with several lumber yards in the
eastern portion of the city. The roofs
of a number of residences were torn
off and blown a great distance, and in
addition to doing much damage to the
State University the wind blew of
the entire roof of the adjoining dor
mitory, letting the rain drive into the
four-story building, causing great
damage to the building and property
| of the 200 students, many of whom
fed for their lives.
The roof was carried 100 yards. II
fell on and crushed the roof of a cot.
tage In which were four persons, but
none were even injured, though they
were entombed by falling debris. A
| church to the north of the university
had the entire east side blown in ant
was unroofed, the wind carrying the
roof a block away. The residence o
DIR. Graves, north of the church, wa
lifted from its foundation, twisted
completely around and set down in thu
same place, so badly damaged, how
ever, that none of the doors could b
opened to permit the escape of th'
frightened inmates.
The small town of GAINESVILLE, neat
this city, was swept by the wind ant
many horses killed by flying debris
while a number of small houses wer'
blown down, though none of tn
inmates were killed. Several wer,
badly MANNED. With the terrific wint
came a driving rain that was littl
short of a flood. 1t swept everything
before it.
Persons arriving on the evening
trains bring reports that the storm
was general in this section. Buda
near here, was badly handled by tn
storm, quite a number of houses be
ing blown down and two person
killed, though their names are not OBJ
tainable. Telegraph wires are down
A wreck on the south bound h. an
7. G. passenger train, leaving here a

have occurred at Ennis, 20 miles sout
of here. Owing to the damaged con
