 Peterson Jackson, esq. of Upper Cut or, was a visitor to THE TIMES local department Monday, and related the hnding of the skeleton of d man near the county line in Crittenden county, in the vacinity of his place. THa most plausible theory. concerning tlie ide,,- tlty Of the find. is that during tiip heavy snOws and freeze of the winter of 1894. a rambling Turk left the helis;t. of W R. Adkins, i'll that vacinity. aud has since never been heard of and it k supposed he lost his way and perishea in the sorm. The appearance of tic. bones indicate that the subject lad met his fate ahout the time mrntionpd Bits of blue worsted coat with bsacs tape binding, il No. button shoe and a cob pipe were the only articles fnnnfs which would probably afford further clue to the identity cf the person. Mr. Jackson had heard of no investigatsoa upon the part of the Crittenden connsy authorities.

The Water.

In the proper column will be found the very latest water news from all river points by which this section of country is effected. We can see noth- ing particularly encouraging in the outlook unless it be that the present pressure against the levee will prove the means of its efficiency.
 As far as our opportunity for ascer- taining the condition of the levee has led us, we may conclude that the entire line of the levee now constructed is two feet above the maximum height of the water line of 1882. and greater portion four feet above; the process of raising going on now.
 Friends of the leyee claim that it will stand against 52 feet of water on the guage at Cairo while some of its enemies have already circulated the reports that from 8 to 9 miles of it has | broken and washed away. while a | large amount of it has caved into the river. A prominent citizen of the county and one who is we'll up on
 waterdom, was in Memphis Tuesday | and learned through Hugh McVeigh. the secretary of the St. Francis Basin Levee board, that Capt. Pharr. engin- ger tor the system, was up on the levee
 route keeping sharp lookout for the protection of weak places.
 The government steamer, Graham. left Memphis, Monday night. for points on the upper St Francis levee with 2500 sack of sand.
 A small portion of the new work be- ing put up by the general government at Nodena washed away, but the loss to the contractor IS reported light. The levee board is busy filling sacks | and loading them on barges to meet emergencies.
 The river at Memphis went to the danger line, B feet. Monday, with AS feet on the guage at Cairo. Much un- | easiness is felt by our neightors be- tween the Cut Off and the mouth of St. Francis river. From the Cut Off up, it is thought that the entactness of the levee will favor that region several suffer to any appreciable degree Heavy rains have recently fallen in Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois; this in connection with the high temperature that has prevailed in that region, melt ing snow and ice, adds to the gravity of the situation.
 J. B. Miles, of Helena, the great river prophet, predicts that the river at that point will reach 56 feet. which is two feet below the 1882 water.
 From advices received on going to press, there seems to be no ray of hope by which disastrous water can be averted, The wire informs us that within the last 36 hours heavy rains and snows have fallen throughout the entire Mississippi valley. which further augments the impending danger which at present threatens the levee and low
 lands. We advise the farmers of the

A NEW STRIKE ARRANGEMENT.

According to an apparently authori-
tative announcement, Henry A.
Hicks, the newly elected general mas
ter workman of the Knights of Labor,
regards his election as the result of
revolution in the policy of the order.
His views are highly conservative and
his influence will be used to prevent,
not to promote, labor disturbances.
The report says that Mr.. Hicks, liv-
ing in st. Louis at the time, opposed
the extreme methods of Martin Irons in
the Southwestern railroad strike ten or
twelve years ago. In the local assem-
blies he predicted its failure and pic
tured the evils that it would cause to
both the railroads and the employees.
The compromise of the strike was
reached partly through his labors
In an interview since his election,
which occurred not quite three weeks
ago, Mr.. Hicks says that a change
from strike to peaceful methods waa
intended when Sovereign was elected
as chief of the order after the deposit
ton Of Powderly But this object
failed. He declares that the interior
ence of Sovereign in the local affairs
Of the order, in it's district organiza-
lions, produced "disorganization, weak
ness and discomfort" This is the
strong language used by General Mas
.er Workman Hicks in describing the
facts as to the administration Of his
predecessor.
The new plan is designated as a
system of home rule. Each territorial
organization in its trade will control
its own affairs. Mr. Hicks says:
It has always been great disadvantage
to us, when there was trouble. for in
stance. between a builder and some of his
men, to have to explain that the shoemak-
er or cigarmaker or tailor who had been
deputed to settle the trouble on our be-
half was good man. The employer was
naturally loath TO deal with a man who
dit1ons of the trade in which the dispute
arse
He declares that the legitimate move
ments of his order cannot in Justice
be described as 'scalping expeditions
against employers" Employers who
pay fair wages, give union hours and

A HINT FOR THE BANKERS.

The bankers in convention at Allan
ia, Wednesday, were electrified by the
announcement of one of the biggest
and most influential of their members,
Mr.. ]. S. Carr, of South Carolina, that
he was a f1at-footed advocate of free
silver coinage. He declared:
Il am a free silver Democrat. When
I get among bankers, l confess that I
feel lonesome, but l have plenty of COM
pany when 1 am with the rest of the peo-
pie. I am for State banks all right and
I don't care if the notes don't circulate
outside of the State of their issue. We
want money we can keep at home. The
trouble with this good money that cir
cGlates everywhere is that it circulates
away from us. The gold standard may
be all right for the people up North
where they have plenty of money. but
We want something else; l got my ideas
of political economy and finance by
hard knocks. 1 tell you that the alarm
has been sounded in the watch tower of
the public and the people are demanding
that something be done We had better
be doing it, too. l am for the dollar of
our daddies, State banks and free silver"
This is additional evidence that there
are many bankers sufficiently clear
headed and far-sighted to understand
that the prosperity of the banks does
not depend so much on what they can
gouge out of the people through dear
money as on the prosperity of the pee
pie. 1t is strange that the average
banker fails to appreciate the almost
self-evident proposition that the banks
cannot be more prosperous than the
people, although every banker knows
that the banks are among the first to
feel the effects of hard times.

keep union rules will never be dis
turbed in their relations to their en-
ployes.
The new labor leaders plan OF
strikes, if they become necessary, is
peculiar. He says that there shall be
no general strike in any establishment.
This plan should be stated in his own
language. 1t is as follows:
If strike seems unavoidable our policy
hereafter will rot be to call out every
man in a shop or factory and thus weak
en- ourselves by having to tax ourselves
with many strike benefits. instead we
shall begin by taking out the men VINO
men in shop often lay out the work LOT
hundreds Embarrassed thus by the
temporary loss of these few men, the en-
pioyer will see the extent of our power
and while he suffers for the lack OF these
men we shall endeavor still to come to
terms with him. If we fail we shall have
the fewer idle men to provide for.
But Mr.. Hicks says that there should
be no need of strikes, even of this mod
flied kind. He believes that every con-
troversy between employers and en-
ployes can be settled by fair and intel
ligent arbitration. The new leader has
suggested new conditions and it is
evident that he is a man Of ability If
not of genius. At least, he is man
Of new ideas on the question OF labor
disputes.
