The MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

At the beginning Of the next session of
congress the senate committee on com
merce will be asked for information con-
corning the causes leading up to the re-
cent devastating floods in the Mississippi
valley, the idea being to devise ways and
means of preoluding the possibility of
recurrence of the disasters of this sea-
son. It is eminently just and proper
that such an investigation should be
made. 1t should be of the most thorough
and searching character. There must be
something fundamentally wrong with a
system which permits even in exceptional
seasons, such destruction of life and
property as has taken place in the Mis-
sissippi valley this spring. In the period
Just passed, it is no doubt true that the
water has been of quite unusual volume
and force, but it is also equally true, that
had the levees been strong enough to
have resisted this unusual pressure, the
loss of life and property incident to the
recent floods could not have happened.
The levees, if this system is to be main.
tanned in the future, should be made
strong enough to resist any possible
volume Of water that may be forced
against them. A recurrence of this years
food is liable to occur at any time, and
the only safe way is to prepare for the
worst.
Senator Vest did we'll to introduce this
sub ject, and he will do better il he takes
care that in the rush of business incident
to the opening of a session of congress,
it is not pushed aside and forgotten. He
promises to press the matter until
adequate legislation is obtained, and II
he does this he will earn the regard
not only of his constituents, who are more
Immediately interested ia this subject
than the people of other sections Of the
country, but Of all those who have SYM
pathized with the Mississippi valley suf-
ferers in their dire struggle against the
forces Of nature, during the terrible period
Of devastation just passed.

THE Republican members of the Ken
tucky legislature got together at last and
elected a United States senator. Debeo
is the new senator's name, and he is said
to be very good man, although the fact
that he has been:several times member
of that Kentucky assembly, is not exactly
inspiring. Still it's better late than never,
and another Republican can't but do good
in the U. 8. senate.

An Honor to the Country.

The country watches with deep interest

Mr.. Harrison cause more than passing
satisfaction. The cases which he argued
before the Supreme court of the United
States we're yesterday decided in favor
of his clients and thus another triumph

honored in the high character of the sur
viving ex-presidents, and the people are
made happy by every incident that
contributes to their enjoyment and pros
perity.-Kansas City Star.

An Even Chance for All.

The fact that 80 many of our foreign
born citizens yearly acquire distinguished
legislative positions, both In the state and
nation, illustrate the benevolent charac.
ter of our government, and also the pos
sibilities of advancement which IL holds
out to struggling and ambitious spirits
who come to our shores from other lands.
The consideration to which the govern
ment has shown its foreign born citizens
has never been abused in such measure
as to warrant change Of policy in this
respect, and it is safe to predict that any
amendment seeking to prevent foreign
born citizens who has been duly natural
lied from becoming members Of con.

Arrant Nonsense.

The talk by many Democrats that the
Dlngley bill's duties will be "prohibitive"
is arrant nonsense. Revenue is an urgent
requirement of the bill, and prohibltive
duties do not yield revenue. The Repub-
licans in congress understand the s,tua-
ton, and their leaders have had good
deal of experience in the tariff framing.
When they say, as they do, that their bill
will yield sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses Of the government, reason
