Many acre of suburbs are under water berev but this portion is very hparsely settled. It is interesting to understand where this water comes from, as a mistaken impreion prevailed among even some okl citizens of East St. lxmis that it wa from the Big lake at the foot of the 1'itUbunr bluff. The water runs under a culvert under the Cairo Short Line's track at Centerville station, and the force ami trend of the water is from Jarrott's station. It does not interfere with the running of trains on the Cairo Short Line road, nor is that embankment broken. The water, ag gravated hy the high wind, U spreading over ares of ground and , strikes with. telling force upon the Air Line's slen der embankment, only a little over a mile front the center of East St. Louis and within a half a mile of McCasland'a opera house oa Broadway.

After midnight it eleare ed off. with a westerly wind which has been, increasing all day, causing the wares to lash furiously against the levee, making it necessary to fill in washed places with sacks filled with earth. There is bo report so far of any serious damage being done by the storm of hast night, as extra forces were on patrol, and the same programme of vig ilance will be continued to-night, ami, ia fact, until the danger is over. The river here remains stationary at 4S., the same as recorded three days ago. The first of the freshet from the Ar kansas river will about reach the waters of the Mississippi to-morrow. The effeet it will have on the river below the mouth of the White river is a matter much talked of and the result is looked forward to with muck anxiety and appreheaaMm. An unusually large bodv of water is coming and it may eaane the highest stage of water ever recorded in the lower river, with only two outlets for relief. The levees on this side are conceded to be from 1 to 2 feet higher than on the other side of the river, and should this rise now coming upon us exceed ft inehes it will be a question ot the survival of the fittest, or which can stand the height and the tremendous weight of the water that is likely to continue for a long period. This flood, in all probability, will be of longer duration than any other since the Coll system ha been adopted. The levees on this side have shown no signs of weakness and are seeping less water than in former high-water years. This is perhaps dnc to their compactness and the dryness of the season. Confidence in the levees is still unshaken, anil no uneasiness would be felt were it not for the continuous rains that are fall ing- in the upper valleys. The condition m Arkansas remains about the same. The water from the Panther Forest break is slowly and trradnallv finding its way over the coun trr and covering up fiekls of cotton and corn, which one week ago gave promise of an abundant harvest. 4rnu aA laW(Mnnm MosRir.TO.v, Ark.. May It. The Ar kansas river at this point k the highest ever known, ami it is still rising. I ully l,tW acres of corn and cotton have been overflowed, and many fences and houses have been washed away. Tenants are deserting the low lands everywhere. Special efforts are being made by the planters to save the stock. Mnny bund reds of farmers will le Imnkrupted. The total damages can not be estimated. Henry Wilson, colored, far women and five children were drowned by the upsetting of a boat on Dowdle place while endeavoring to escape from the flood. All the smaller brklges are now gone, and those remaining are ia jeopardy. SiroAM SrRixos, Ark., May 18. Siloam is still in darkness. Examples of her misfortunes lie on every hand. Knots of men stand on every corner discussing the great calamity that haa come upon her, and there is no consolation save ia the knowledge of the recuperating force of time. The losses are more far-reaching than was at first apposed, and conservative estimates place them at f 1 tt.ttf to WM.M. The reports coming from every sec tion confirm former reports as to the great damage wrought by the flood. Mar LtTNt la Lakk PaevtMcxcic, La., May It. The river is about stationary.

May l.-A great HmmI disaUer has overtaken Stoux City. Ye4erday morning a great wave earn down the Floyd river, whlek Hows through tke eeater of tke elty, and wkich was already swtdWn hank-fulL The wave earn a few mlaHte after 7 o'eloek. Warning had bHn fcent a shiKt time before to the inhaldtant of tke km- lands, Imt oaly a few had Wen notified. The first intimation wa a volume of water spreading over the banks to a depth of three feet and throwing a mht of foam before it. Ia a few minutes the water had risen above the nrt nWs ami several people fainted in terror on the higher gnmml. The water rose four feet in an hour awl a half, ami from o'eloek. continued to rise steadily, hut not s riklly. Trol. ably one-third of the Inhabitants of the city live on the low ground whieh is orerfiowwL So rapid was the rW'of the tkle that great numbers were unable to esoape ami the work of rescue engaged every energy of the people. At 14 o'clock elewn persons were reported drowntHl. and there must be many others. At 10 o'clock the fire alarms sounded to call oat more workers. All the boats from the boat houses on the Sioux river have been lrought in ami are being used to save life and property. The Missouri river is very high, ami when the Hood in the Floyd riverstruek it the water dammed up and ruhbet! over the adjacent low groumls. 'J lie -stoeK yards and packing houses were situated at the conlluenee of the two rivers, and these were instantly inundated. Two thousand head of live stock were drowned there. U rent nu inbers of dead stock have also been found itoating down the Floyd river. The whole railroad yards and switch ing traek district is under water ami there has been immense damage to the roundhouse and other railroad property. The round-house of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha is damaged to the extent of 4,0O. That road, the Illinois Central, and the Sioux Citv & Northern enter the city by the Floyd Trailer and all are stopped. Not a train has left Sioux City. At 1 o'ekwk the water had reached to Jennings street on Fourth street The Hotel Fowler, and the Itoston Investment Co.'s buikling arc surrounded with wa ter. The L nion depot was eut ofi! at t o'clock. It is estimated that 8,999 people have been driven from their homes. All business is suspended. The chamber of commerce organized a committee for relief work, llefore noon the ladks had the soup and lunch houses opened for the flood sufferers. It is impossible to estimate the loss of property, but it will be large. At It o'clock last night, the relief committee had the names of fifteen persons known to have been drowned, ami authentic reports of the drowning of three or four times that number. Only one body has been recovered. It is believed that the death lit will not number less than a hundred. The waters last night were receding, and the wind which blew a gale all day quieted down. The Floyd valley, a mile wide in places ami five miles through the manufacturing and rail road district of the city ami vicinity, dotted with homes, is a scene of desolation. The river commenced to rise about 8 o'clock and before noon was thirty feet deep in the channel. The current was verr swift, for it empties into the Mis souri river in the city; ami soon fences. lumber, sale walks ami houses were leing swept away. There are probably 709 families in the valley, the majority living in small houses, ami as there was no warning, the most they could do was to save themselves and leave their possessions. A rescuing corps was or ganized by citizens and the homeless were promptly eared for. Hundreds of houses were swept away entirelv. Over half a mile of paving on the street was destroyed. All the rail road yards, machine shops, ware houses, Imaber yards, stove works, foundries, shoe factories, gas works, and many retail business houses were submerged. One. of the leading hotels was surrounded and all depots are in accessible. The cable line stopped and the ele vated railroad is the only means left of reaching the eastern suburbs. The Union stock yards were carried away witk l,9ft head of cattle. All packing houses arc flooded, ami four lrhlges have lHen larried away. Not a rail road train ran rrsch the city. In the afternoon fire in the flooded district added to the horror. The total loss in the citv is estimated at from rl,ftO,MM to 600.009. The first wiring was a telegram received from H in ton. twelve miles up the valler, to the effect that a fourteen foot rise was coming. Intelligence was sent to the police station. Chief Hawmsn was notified and sent at once for an engine, loaded a boat ami started up the Illinois Central.track for Leeds. The wave was struck when nut a short distance up, awl the boat was launched at once. From one bouse three chiklren were taken. Imt the mother could not be rescued, ami per,khed. The party narrowly escaped, being overturned by a second wave six feet in height. The angry waves nearly made away with the boat. From another house seven people were taken who bad crawled into the attic Eight minutes later the house toppled over and was swept down the Five people were taken from a tree at Spriagdale. The delirt piled up sc that it would bear the weight of a mar and greatly hindered the work. When the warning eame. Captain o Police U'lekes ami a posse ramie hsf.tr for the flats ami warned as many a. could be reached before the flood came Many would not listen to words ot warning, saying they had seen high water before, and stayed and wars

Thk will W news to thousand of manufacturers who employ kmbyisU at Washingt'Mt ami who have said that the Mill's bill would have driven half of them out f the country. Itut for fear of Win in error he hedges thk statement in the followiajr P iragraph, thus: "The well-biag of every ettixen of this country i- butnd up with the interest of the manufacturers in a protective tariff." On page 4 is the following: ""ow. it is eoncedetl by every tatisticaa of this oaatry and every cdher ths this Is the lowest-taxed country on the fae of the earth that is counted as a civiliwd natiou." And on page 5 thb.: "1 affirm that th.-re ' no greater evidence of cfrilizatioa. tTiristian civilization, than taxation, and tki? volume of taxation per capita cxprcwcs it. Shxm me the taxes iier capita of any peopU, ami I can determine by that their ad-vsT.-emtrnt bt the v.-ale 'f civilfzation." Tliis tohard oa the United States to be the lowest ia civilization bicause it is the lowest taxed country. Hut thU Ls truth and logic ami there is no escape for u. He then defines taxation: What doe taxution come to in its last analvsis? It eom;s to taking tke property of the ri:h awl divklin; it pro rata for the benefit of every man. wom an and child ia the community. That is what taxation cornea to at last." This proves that economists u e. im practical book economists out of con gress are entirely in em- for they all agree that taxation has always rested most heavily upon the poor. He then farther elucidates and simplifies his definition: Now. what is taxation? Taxation is but the government taking a part of the income of the citizen and spending it for the citizen to better advantage titan he can himself spend it. That W all there h in taxation." This is uapieawnt information for some of as who prefer to spend our own incomes, but there can be no mistake. Mr. Walker is well versed la statistics and cannot be ia error in thb next statement: 'More than one-third of the income from all the property east of the Missis sippi ami north of the Ohio is taken in taxation, ami beneficently taken taken ami returned to the citizens pro rata, rkh ami poor alike, after lieing taken out of the boards of the rkh." Hat think what taxes inns be paid by really civilized countries when onethird of the income of this lowest taxed country is taken for taxes, ami what awful blessings we are missing by not increasing emr taxes until the govern meat invol say ninety per cent, of our incomes for us. We now reach p:i?e . when; Mr. Walker shows the wonderful instinct by which taxation, no matter where let loose rettirns to the same ou 'It makes comparatively little differcnee where you layyour taxes. Ly i e them where vou will, they will follow back ami ultimately ret on the same persons and in the same spot. We may as well lav all tke taxatkm of this gov ernment on wool if we choose, as well as anrwher else. It will all rest "a the same spot finally. It is of compara tively little importance where you lay taxes. It may take twenty years for tbem to adjust themselves to their final point. It may take thirty or forty years, Imt if you levy taxation any where it seeks imt ami rests upon the same individual in the community wlto will nltimateh War the burdens. I think the statisties will bear me out in this statement." Let it be remembered that "free trailers" make at least 199 times as many errors as "protectionsts" ami that Mr. Walker is a specialist in his line. COST OF A FAMILY'S CLOTHING.

The " tntst-killin," wage-advancing tariff may be getting ia its work straight enough, but for some reason perhaps the modesty of the Republican press the credit side of the account is not mentkmed, except in a theoretical ami general way. From the long list of the debit shl we extract the following: April 34 To the report that nearly all of the big iron companies in the south are forming a combination with a capital of about r9.W.9 and that the companies that are not joining the combine will be tributary to it ami sell their products through the new organi zations.
