The Mississippi Hood ls much worse
than 1t was thought to be at first, and We
may be sure that We are not hearing the
worst Of 1t, In the Inundated region
there Is considerable area from which We
cannot expect to hear while the waters
are high. Meanwhile the people suffer
greatly and are in peril Of their lives. In
this region we know something about
floods, but the Mississippi region knows
much more about them to its sorrow.

REFLECTIONS oF a gAcREIoR

There never was a married woman
who wouid admit that no other man
ever asked her.
Love is like mush 1t has lots OF
nourishment. but nobody but a pig likes
II without molRsses on It.
Half OF the female suffrage women
you meet once had husbands, and the
other half never will have.
A girl Is never really In love with a
man until she thinks OF him when she
SAYS her prayers at night.
4 woman can never be very bad after
she has once learned that her little
child measures Its ideas Of God after
her.
There isn't anything more pluful
than when a woman gets an Idea that
the gas company is cheating her and
sets out to watch the meter.

1t looks very much as though Germany
was try ing to direct the stream of Ger
lnan emigration elsewhere than to the
United States. During the resent cabinet
session five out Of six members .present
declared themselves in accord with the
aims OF what is known as the "Assoc Ia
tion and Colonial party"-namely: to
found in the future, SO far as circuni-
stances permit. large g erman colonies
of an agricultural and industrial oharec c.
ter in South and Central American
countries, where the autonomous and
uniform makeup of such colonies will
not be politically interfered with. Tie
government will encourage and prosper,
as much as possible, by money grants
and political Intervention these com
pHnles' aims at settling such colonies.
This seems to be In line with England a
colonizing policy. 1t is tar seeing one,

be fraught with great commercial nd

1t is one of the unpleasant features of
the situation in the Senate that the
strength of parties is SO nearly even
that few men will be able to WELD a
tremendous amount of power, and it be-
comes d0ubly unpleasant when coupled
With this power is a disposition to use
1t. 1t is admitted that two or three sill
yer senators can probably alter
the Dingley bill very materially, because
their votes are absolutely necessary to
secure its passage; and there are in
d1cations that they are disposed
to make the most of their ad-
vantage. Another unfortunate fact
Is that these men are really at heart hos.
tile to the Republican party, having
identified themselves with the free sill
yer movement and having supported
Bryan in the last campaign. Hence the
general welfare OF the party will not ap-
| peal to them and will have no influence
| upon their demands. They are in posi-
tlon to ask that which is peculiarly for
the interests Of their own section with
| out regard to its effect upon other Sec
tions. What caucus of the Republican
senators may decide upon will have 10
effect on them. In these facts lies a
great danger to the passage of the bill in
form that will prove generally satisfac-
tory to the country. Indeed the con
diticn which exists even threatens the
passage of the bill at all, for it is easily
conceivable that the demands may
be SO exorbitant and compliance with
them SO dangerous to the Repu blican
party as to render those senators who
have it's welfare at heart more ready to
see the bill foil entirely than pass
with them embodied in it. The at
tempt to take hides off the free list.
which some of the western senators are
said to contemplate, if it be seriously
made, may prove so unacceptable to
Eastern men as to ALLEVIATE their votes. Did
the Republicans have sufficient strength
in the S enate to pass the bill without
assistance we could confidently count
upon happy solution of whatever differ
ences of opinion might arise, inasmuch
as their desire to promote the general
welfare Of the party would encourage a
spirit of compromise and Cancellation,
but with few men not identified with
it, and at heart DESTROYS of seeing it
overthrown, holding the balance of pow

that a duty on hides will break up a

1t is reported from Europe that the
Pope will take the initiative in reform
| of the calendar, and that the third Sun
day before the spring equinox will be
liked as the date of Easter in all years
after the close of the present century,
IN place of the old rule which defines 1t
as heing tie first Sunday after the full
moon that happens upon or next after
March gl. 1t is also thought, that the
Greek Church Will adopt this along
with the Gregorian count of days, in
place OF the Julian calendar which now
makes their count of dates twelve days
later than ours. 1t would be great
thing for Russia to fall into line with
the rest of the civilized world, as regards
calendar, and inasmuch as the lunar
month reckoning tor the solar year was
long since abandoned by the Christian
world there would seem to be no good
reason, as the Chicago Tribune remarks,
why the DAFT of Easter should be fixed
by the course Of the moon any more than
that similar count should determine
the date of Christmas From almost
every view point the proposed change
seems desirable.
