An appeal to the public has been
issued in behalf of the bill re-intro-
duced into the present Congress to
exclude from the mails all newspapers
containing pictures or accounts Of
prize fights. Beyond question, it IS
the newspapers which are the chief
cause of the great vogue Ct the prize
fight, as they are the chief dissent
natorr Of its degrading Influences
A little wholesome exclusion from
decent libraries in the East has work
ed wonders in flushing out two Of
New York's newspapers which were
competing as receptacles of the city,
filth. Exclusion Of the prize fighting
bestiality from the mails would purge
the newspapers, and deal the practice
itself deadly blow. The appeal
urges every citizen interested in this
desirable reform to urge it upon his
Senators and Representative in Con-
gross.

Controlling the Mississippi.

Some idea OF the magnitude of the
disaster threatened by the foods in
the Mississippi valley may be gained
from a statement of the Department
of Agriculture relative to the farming
interests DOW in jeopardy. The state
ment is based on report OF the
Bureau of Statistics, showing on
April 21st the total area Of the SUBJ
merged districts was over 10000
square miles, containing about 46, 935
farms, having total area of about
4,94,466 acres, and 7alued, with their
improvements, Implements, etc, at
about $9O,176,177 To tie enormous
losses already entailod by the food
must be added the possibility of loss 9
still more enormous from its long
continuance and the extension of the
flooded area, a possibility now in
creased by the rise in the Missouri
and the added strain on the Louisiana
levees. Great as has been the dam
age wrought, and discouragipg as the
prospect is, however, there is no good
reason for pronouncing the levee sys-
tenn adopted by the government as a
protection against such floods,
failure. Without that system, now
almost continuous from Cairo to the
gulf, the lands bordering the lower
reaches of the Mississippi would be
almost uninhabitable, and a great
portion OF the valley south of the
Ohio submerged every year. Expe-
rience has demonstrated that the
levees built under the direction of
the Mississippi River Commission,
the States and Levee Districts, have
generally withstood the foods and
greatly increased the security Of the
region. The chief objection urged
against the system is that it raises
the bed of the river higher and
higher by the deposit of silt, and
consequently so raises the food levels
that the levees are no longer effective
as a protection. No doubt in the
longer reaches of the stream there is
such danger, though experience
with leyeed rivers shows that the
rise ct t':eic reds Is infnitesmal; but
in the mississippi the danger IS ei-
niais--od ~ :-ctecting banks the
e.os:;a i "l:::t sr7,::e, :hs silt, by
stonework or wicker mattresses, and
by so narrowing the stream by dikes
in its more sluggish reaches that the
current scours out its bed. This,
and sha protection Of low shores ~
levees, solidly constructed and raised
to height of five feet above the
highest Good merk, constitute the
general features Of the system now
pursued by the levee authorities.
tt problem of tae control of q
great r.; like The Mississippi is, Of
COURSE, q difficult one, and engineers
are by no means ssTeed upon its de-
tails, though the revetment Of banks
at the great bonds and the construc-
ton Of entertainments on low shores
has the practically unanimous ap,
prevail of expert opinion.
