The political influence of American
women is far less at present than it
should be, but it's sturdy growth is
beyond question. There are many
causes for this present want of serious
influence. While the women are better
educated than the men are, so far as
books make education, they have to
educate themselves in political affairs,
largely without the aid of men. The
average voter in America is a partisan,
and instructs his wife, if he instructs
her at all, that his party only can save
the country from ruin" This propo-
sition, in the light of history, is I'M
true, and the intelligent woman does
not accept it.
Again, political life in England is
fashionable, that is, its social rewards
are great and most attractive, while
in America, as rule, the best peo-
ple," as they are called, care nothing
for social relations with Senators,
Representatives, and leading politi-
clans, unless they are men who are
really eminent for learning and intel |
lectual power. The most promising
young men in Great Britain are anxious |
to become statesmen. BY far the |
largest number of educated and able |
young men in America, reject political |
life with contempt.
Honesty, thorough study, and capa-
city, count for little in American politi-
cal life, where the people claim to do
their own thinking, and regard their
representatives as mere registers of
their own judgments. This is the
true and safe theory of democracy.
The people are the leaders. Why
should they need leaders unless they
really desire the information and judg-
ments of men who are especially train
ed in all those branches of learning
which affect legislation?
The tide will gradually turn, as it
has turned in Industrial affairs. The
scholar and specialist will in due time
De wanted by the people themselves, in
he making of laws. The American
is doing much, ii not as much
Is she might do, to bring about this
'ational condition of things.

SIOUX CITY. March 26.-CSpecial)-A
good deal OF apprehension appears to exist
in towns along the Missouri river this year
regarding the breakup of the ice il is
feared that there will he a flood when the
rush Of ice really begins to come down the
river Visions OF the terrible disasters OF
ideuts along the river and some are keeping
a pretty close watch on the treacheruus
stream.
The cause Of the anxiety seems to be in
regard to the ice in the upper river country
Up in Montana and Dakota. and even along
the James river country, there has not been
a very severe winter, although a good deal
of snow has fallen. The ice is said to be
only about eight inches in thickness at the
other end OF the stream, while in Sioux City
and vicinity it ranges from eighteen to
twenty-five inches in thickness. il has been
very cold in this part Of the country during
the winter months. At Pierre, S D.. in the
last week the river is said to have risen two
feet owing to snow melting IN the mountains
and in South Dakota
So far the ice is stationary but a break
up must come ere long. The ice being so
thick al this point and for several miles
north. it is hardly possible that a breakup
can come until long after the upper river
ice begins TO tumble along toward the lower
river country. II is feared that this will
result in some serious ice Eorges-gorEes
are what cause he floods along the Missouri
river. Walls Of ice twenty feet in height
have been known even at Sioux City They
have been worse if anything. further ur the

II in the food of 1880 that practically
the whole town OF Vermilion, S. D. was
washed away and that year men had to 90
out in boats from Sioux City and vicinity
to take food and clothing to people who had
sought safety on some high ground and had
become surrounded by water. All of the
bottom lands were flooded and great damage
was done Since that time Vermilion has
been rebuilt on the high ground and far
above any possibility OF an occurrence of the
disaster of 1880.
The same year Sioux City was flooded The
water came up along the business streets Of
the city and men went from house to house
and from store to store in skiTs. All this
time the ice was rushing along and pillng up
at the different gorges along the river. One
day a little church came floating down the
river, right side up and the bell tolling it's
requiem in the tower. Many other build
ings came down the river and it was a com
mon sight to see an animal on an ice foe
and unable to swim TO the shore. Some
lives were lost but the greatest damage
was to property. Finally the big gorge near
VermiliOn broke and The waters were re-
leased only to add to that already washing
from bank to bank along the river bottom
Ii was the worst flood known in the history
of the Missouri river country. Now there
are number Of bridges across the river,
but it is not thought they will cause gorges.
But the people will rest easier when they see
the last cake Of ice pass by.

Proposed Change in the Fire Alarm
system H. Being Planned.

City Electrician Bradley is planning a
complete change in the fire alarm system
which will be carried out if the city council
passes the necessary appropriation Of Sl,2O5,
asked for by Chairman Atkins Of the COM
mittee o. fire and light. The proposed plan,
it is said, will effect large annual saving
in the expense OF operating and maintain
ing the fire alarm services,
The change conlemplates the substitution
OF storage for the present gravity batteries,
in which the electricity is generated by the
action Of chemicals The maintenance Of
gravity batteries has always been a costly
item in the citys expense. For the past
fiscal year the cost Of tine necessary cheml-
Gals exceeded $3.50, and in addition the care
and renewal Of the batteries entaIled a
large amount OF work as we'll as expense
This expense it is claimed, under the plan
OF using storage batteries, will be almost
entirely done away with As the name
storage batteries implies, they are simply
used for the storage Of electricity generated
in this case by a dynamo, The system OF
alarms employed by the fire department will
necessitate the use OF lSO batteries and 10
fill Them and keep them in proper condition
Electrician Bradley estimates il viii require
from One-tenth TO fiye-eights OF an ampere
for each charge, or from thirty to thirty
five horsepower per month.
The cost OF this amount OF electricity IL
paid for at commercial rates would be not
more than $50 per year but il is understood
that If the city adopts this new system IL
viii be furnished free OF cost. This being
the case almost the whole Of the present
cost OF operating the fire alarm system
with the exception of the city electrician 5
salary, would be saved
The new batteries ready for use would
cost Sl.9O5. and in five years II is claimed
the saving would Toe sufficient TO pay for
them.
