Unprecedented Rain.

SUR' VSSASuS~0
From Monday morning until nearly
daylight this morning, 1t rained al
most necessarily. The precipitation
up to six o'clock this morning reached
almost five inches, something abso-
lutely unprecedented for Las Vegas in
the latter part of September and for
that matter record breaker for any
time of year. In the mountains to
the westward the rain was even heav-
ier Not once yesterday did the sun
peep out. 1t rained practically all
day. As the evening advanced the
rain increased in heaviness and was
accompanied by wind Of considerable
violence. Many OF the west side
merchants, when they lett their places
of business, looked anxiously at the
raging stream and wondered if there
might not be menace to the bridge.
However, none feared a flood that
would invade score of business hous
es.
Lives in Peril.
By / o'clock the hackmen began
moving the residents of the flats near
the river. They had considerable diff.
ficulty, and for time it looked as
though some of the residents were cut
off by the flood. The wafer was al
ready running over the road and it
looked as though an impa. .sible chan
mel might be cut at any time. Sew
eral time the steady hack horses balk-
ed at the flood, but finally they went
through il and all the people in dan
ger were gotten away.
The roaring of the waters had arous-
ed many of the people who lived near
by, and dripping figures moved about
the banks of the stream and shouted
TO each other through the tumult
Word was sent to the business men
whose places were endangered and
before the climax was reached there
was considerable crowd on hand. 1,
seems wonder that no one was in
lured. A favorite vantage point for
the spectators was the depot platform
None supposed that the solid stone
! work and riprapping that supported
the railway embankment wonld give
way before the fury Of the flood. How.
ever, before the volume of water
reached its height ominous warnings
were given and the crowd FASTENED
to safer ground
The Crash Comes.
Just about / 80 O'Clock the swollen
stream, which already was running
over the street rose suddenly and per.
eeptibly. The rise was undoubtedly
caused by the volume of water re.

Low STARVING RATES OF
WAGES.'

Extract from remarks of Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, page 2O5 OF
Daily Congressional Record, 5Oth Con
gross, LIST session.
Sir, the question before us is one
purely of wages. If wages in the Uni
ted States were no greater than in
England, France and Belgium, our
chief competitors, we would, no
doubt, now compete with all the
world in all metallic and textile fab
RIGS. Is it wise in this country to pur-
sue a policy that will compel the re-
duction of wages of laboring men en-
ployed in manufactures to the stand
ard now general in European coun-
tries? We know from documents fur
nished by our consuls the rate of
wages there.
The Senator from Maine [NIr. Fryel
in recent speech made in Bos-
ton, gives in detail the most striking
information gained by him from per-
sonal observation and inquiry in the
workshops of several countries Of Eu-
rope as to the low, starving rate of
wages, and the degradation of labor
existing there. God forbid that such
injustice and wrong shall ever exist
here. Our free institutions could not
survive such scenes. Manufactures
conducted upon such basis would be
an unmitigated curse. Cheapness pur-
chased at such a price would be a
crime. And yet without protective
duties we must either abandon our
manufactures or reduce wages To the
standard. What more evil
dence do we need than the hundreds
of thousands Of people who come to
us annually from European countries,
bearing the most indisputable testi-
mony to their poverty, their suffer-
ings, and their distress?
