AN IMPORTANT
 LEVEE SUIT.

Little Rock, April 5.-Judge Jacob Treiber has taken under advisement the petition filed by the defense in the suit of John F. Cubbins and others against the Mississippi River Commis sion, the St. Francis Levee Dis :, trict, the Chicot county and four. teen other levee districts in the state, to dismiss, and will render decision in several weeks.
 The petition, which was argued in chambers Friday, sought the dismissal of the complaint for want of equity. B. E. Moses, of Memphis, represented the plain tiffs, and John Ike Moore, of Helena, and J. A. Turner, of Jonesboro, looked after the in torests of the levee districts.
 This suit was filed in the court at Helena at the same time simi- lar suits were filed in Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana courts, The plaintiffs seek restraining order to prevent the defendant building any more levees, claim ing the confining of the high wa ter to certain channel has caus- ed lands belonging to them to become overfowed, which were never before. The lands of the defendants are in Tennessee and in all about S16,000,000 are in- volved. These lands lie between the river and the foothills, and as long as there was no levee on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi, the water flowed over the whole St. Francis basin during flood season. When the levees were built to protect Arkansas lands, the water was forced over onto the Tennessee side.
 The plaintiffs claim the levee districts should pay for the damage done to their lands by the overflow or purchase the land in question. Should they be successful in seeking an injunc- t'o, snits at law to collect dam. ages will follow.

POLITICIANS ARE
 STILL SILENT

Little Rock, April 5-And still the silence of the politicians hangs over the political storm center of Little Rock, in chunks thicker than gloom. Stephen Brundid- ge has spoken, but absolutely nothing defnate can beascertain. ed as to plans of others mentlon- ed for gubernatorial honors, with the exception of pr. C.F. Brough. of Fayetteville, and Judge Jeptha Evans of Bonneville, who have an nounced they will not make the race.
 Politicians generally are shying otf from the gubernatorial con- test as though seething volcano rumbles beneath the seat of the chief executive, and it is now ire quent comment that Stephen Brundidge will be permitted to make the race without opposi- tion. William F. Kirby, Associ- ate Justice of the Supreme Court has his ear to the ground, and ex- poets to make an announcement III few days as to his intentions. In the meantime he keeps a gold en silence. Judge Geo. w. Hays of Camden is the only other one mentioned for the toga, who has not announced his intention of remaining on the outside to look in on the battle.
 Should the contest simmer down to Stephen Brundidge, without opposition, it will be the first time in the history of the state a citizen was elected gover- nor without an opponent. There have been governors who were unopposed for their second term, it being a Democratic custom to reward a good governor with a second term, but of recent years it has become fashionable to op- pose even the second termers.
