Reservoirs and the preservation or growth of forests are conceded to be efficient agencies in checking destruc tive floods in the upper waters of the Mississippi, but no great effect can be had from them in obviating the over flows of the lower river that so fre quently cause great disaster and suffer ing. These are evidently increasing in extent and destructivenpss. Enormous sums have been expended in building levees, and the increasing experience attests their ineffectiveness. The belief is gaining ground that it is- a useless waste of the public money to pile up embankments to be washed out into the gulp. The stronger and higher these walls lo enclose the teeming waters are made the higher aud more vehement are the assaults upon them, and the breaks are inevita ble. If it has been supposed that by confining the waters to the channel they would wash out the bottom and not fill up with the mud held in solu tion, the result shows it to be a mistake. The Missouri is always muddy, and de posits are being constantly made in the bed of the lower river where the levees have bee u the protection. Then the levees must be raised and enlarged, and when they break the overflow is greater. . The system is evidently a mistake. It has increased rather than diminished the devastations of the waters. Before the govern ment engineers attempted to confine the river to one channel there was com paratively little damage caused by the floods. As one channel was filled up with mud the water sought another. It had its own way, and there was little occasion to attempt to interfere with it. To try to control and restrain such a mighty stream with mud walls is like crowding a quart into a pint cup. Bet ter abandon the system, and aid the river to find outlets that will take away the dangerous surplus. This is the only effective relief, and it will save the constant drain upon the treasury. - - -^»— - A TYPICAL. STATE. Nebraska has just been celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary as a state. A . quarter of a century is a mere poiut of time in the duration of that political community in all probability. After a while it will have a centennial, and then a multiplication of centuries beyond all present computation and prophesy. Its growth and development are quite like those of Minnesota, the Dakotas and other Northwestern states of greater or less age. It is fairly illustrative of the progress of this region generally. As such its anniversary has a common in terest. The struggle over slavery in the concrete and as a local institution that drew people to Kansas, just " south, did not extend .to Ne braska. in 1860 it had but 28,841 white people, ajid when admitted as a state in 1867 the population did not prob ably reach 80,000. The census of 1870 gave but 122,993, but its growth in the fourth of a century has been hardly sur passed in continuance and volume even in the Northwest. In the early days of its statehood it was regarded as a wild iso . lation in a dubious region almost wholly given over to the buffalo and ante lope, and largely decorated with the . cactus and sagebrush. It was as far out of the range of civilization as Minue sota. But it' now has swelling corn cribs stretching across the state, ami grain fields like the billowy waters of the sea. Farmers ride behind gang [•lows, and the steam ear is hardly ever out of the sight of the settler. There arc live rustling cities where the Indians had their tepees, ami the 80,000 had be came L.058.91U in I*9o. probably 1,200,000 now. This is a marvelous growth, but pretty well matched by this state, ami in ratios is surpassed by the Dakotas. It is of particular interest as the type of Northwest development. The future, will not rival t... v past in ratios, but the volume of increment counted up each decade is not likely to know much ' re cession for an indefinite era in the fut ure. Let the figures bo allowed to roll on like the snowball for a few centuries and their story will be beyond present com prehension. The hundreds of today will Oecoiue millions. SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRACY. Tliere is much to be said in indorse ment of the course which the Democrats Of South Dakota followed in then con vention of Wednesday* last. They 'ex pressed their strong devotion to the cause of Gnovcß Ci.kvei-axd. but they left their delegates uninstructed and free to vote* when they met in Chicago as their best judgment should susrgest. South Dakota is a Kepub lican state. There is only the remotest possibility that its electoral votes will be given to the Democracy's ticket. The opinion and preferences of its Democrats, unless they coincide with those of a great majority from the rest of the Union, will cut but the slightest figure in the coming contest. It is proper, that they should be represented at the national convention, but their delegation should ba in position to listen as well, as to talk. Our coun try is a big one, aud there may be over whelming waves of thought afloat, even the murmurs of which have never reached the prairies. A sad plight the brave gentlemen from South Dakota might have been in had their constitu ents commanded them to stand firm for any one candidate, nojnatter how hopeless his ambition might turn out to be. They might have been rudely tram pled under foot when the stampede beno. There are none too many Dem ocrats in South Dakota, and the party cannot afford to sacrifice the lives of any of them even for the sake of a deep settled conviction. Valor is a good thing, but discretion is a better one. The Globe is glad that the South Dakota Democracy has deseretion. AX EXPENSIVE FLIRTATION. The Globk is inclined to believe that, if. all accounts are true, Joux Smith, who was arrested the other night on Ninth street for disorderly conduct, has been punished fully as much as his of fense deserves. lip is accused ot hav ing sought the acquaintance of a young woman to whom he carried no formal title of introduction, and to have refused to desist from his ef forts even when she expressed a dis taste for his society. At this point two stalwart young knights came to the maiden's assistance, and in the alterca tion which ensued Mr. Smith was ma terially disfigured. Later in the even ing he was arrested, and mulcted by the city authorities to the tune of $25. The next day he got his name in the papers, and is now being made the sub ject of much discussion m the various places where men congicgate for the consumption of cocktails and the venti lation of matters of contemporary human interest This habit of speaking in public places to women whom one does not know is a reprehensible and undignified one, but it is not necessarily open to aihy jnore serious condemnation than is thus implied. A man's intentions are not as a matter of course dishonorable because he docs such a thing. Very in nocent and very gratifying friendships have often been formed in this way, and the pages of poetry and romance are filled with instances in which love, and. all that love implies, have been born from an exchange of glances across a public street. Very respectable men and women who have never seen each other before frequently enter into con versation on railroad trains or ocean steamers. At summer hotels a man with no credentials, except his personal appearance, can usually, after a sojourn of a day or two, feel quite at home with his fellow-boarders of the opposite sex. And it is quite easy to imagine circumstances under which the lone some saunterer on the city highway or the country road could without meaning to offend, and without offending, join some young woman traveling in the same direction, even though she may be au entire stranger to him. The ("i.ouk would not be understood as recommendiug the practice. On the contrary, if it were inclined to-give auy advice, it would urge its readers to en large their circle of acquaintances after ttie conventional method, and after the conventional method only. They will probably find all the opportunities for entanglements which they are capable of wrestling with without going outside of this channel. But if their spirit of romance is uncontrollable, and they find it impossible to float by the Lad y of Shallot's tower without raising their eyes to meet hers, the Globe wishes them a happier experience than befell John Smith. To be maimed in body, to be subjected to the humiliating inquiries of the police sergeant, to give up twenty-five good dollars and to be the text for a large volume of ribald pleasantries, is really a pretty big price to pay for a flirtation which, after all, did not turn out to be a flirtation. This is one of the cases in which the punish ment fits the crime as badly as though it had been bought at a second-hand store. AS A CANDIDATE. One can believe anything prejudices or interests desire about Mr. Blame in his relation to the Minneapolis can didacy or his physical condition. It is not a matter of great concern to Demo crats whether Rl,aixe, Harktbox or some other man is nominated by the Republicans. Blaixe is- the only man the Democrats bare been able to defeat in thirty years, and the- fancy that he has become a political cyclone since his defeat, and has a tremeadous besom that will sweep away alljnppos ing forces, is purely romantic, It may be doubted that the men who are work ing the Blaixe racket so furiously just now really expect to effect more than to make the nomination of Har rison impossible, and oring in some pliant servitor of the bosses. But if Blaixe should surprise them by taking the nomination, the pyrotechnics and hullaballoo over it would not shake the Democratic forces. It is doubtful if he would prove as strong a candidate as last time. It would be impossible to dissipate the impression that he had played a deceptive role at the ex pense of the president and his own honor. Early transactions would come up in an ugly way,contirmatory of sinu ous characteristics. In the fierce light of the intense campaign, the charity that cloaks unpleasant things so often would not get in much work. The method of reaching the nomination would be a source of embar rassment and weakness. lv the THE PAINT T\ATJL JXAJLY GLOBE: FttJDAY MOBNING. MAY 27, 1892. canvass eisrlit years »go Mr. Hi.aink threw nil his personality into the fight. That magnetic presence so much ex tolled was constantly before the public. Ho Is BOW told ihut he will need take no part, and can remain in seclusion. ■ This would, of course, be understood to be necessitated by physical inability. A peanut circus would have to be in op eration every day, and photographer kept on constant duty to picture the glowing hues of health. The iminvs siou, supported by Mr. Dlaine's own belief that, if elected, tin duties of the office would kill him. would prompt humane voters not to become accessory to his death. His election would be far from a certainty. TWO MKTHODS. How to deal with vice is n hard ana ever-persistent problem not alone in St. Paul, but also in all the big cities ot the. world. In New York public opinion has recently been deeply aroused to itn impoitaiue by the investigations of Dr. Pakkiii k.st, and Brooklyn, which has long counted itseif a village, now realizes that it has grown into a great metropolis be eanse clear of iniquity, havo established themselves everywhere within its lim its. In the East they are working as earnestly to find some solution anil remedy as even our local reformers can be expected to. But it would seem as though their methods were somewhat different. There is no agitation for the removal of Supt. Byhnks from ttie control of tiie .New York police force, but his expjrience and wisdom are much relied on to suggest the proper course of procedure at this hour. lv Brooklyn, Supt. Campbell has just completed his twentieth year of consecutive service, and he is as sure of his position, in spite of changes of party administration, as a justice of the United States supreme court is of his place on the bench. These men have come to be expe/ts in their department, and a storm ot popular indignation would attend a movement to supplant them for political considerations. With us the claim is made that a great deal more partisan triumph has been won at the polls solely in the interest of good government. And yet it is generally assumed that the new mayor, as soou as he i» installed in of fice, will name some loyal lleptiblican to take Chief Ci.aes's place at the po lice headquarters. The Eastern idea is that politics should have nothing to do with matters of tuis sort. The St. Paul idea seems to be, even in this field, the reformers who have won the victory are entitled to its spoils. This illustrates the familiar truth that it is possible for even philosophers to honestly disagree on questions of expediency and propri ety. A clergyman" who has been down South studying social and political con ditions, reports to a leading Republican paper of North Dakota that he found the Republican party there the refuge of the disreputable elements, the rogues aud renegades of all sorts. Republicans from the North who go there generally turn Democrats within the year. The distinction between the parties in mor als aud civilization is as sharp as it was twenty-five years ago. It is not surpris ing, then, that the South is solid against such control. At a special election in tUe Water town district in Wisconsin to fill the seat of a deceased s?nator this week, the Democrat pulied through with about the flood-tide majority of 1,890. The Republicans made a desperate effort to scow that the current was coming their way, but failed. It is a straw for the November vote in that state. While importing reforms from Aus tralia the court practice in the case of Dimming may have favorable attention. All sorts of efforts to work the insanity dodge were tried in his case. It was held that if he were insane, he was too dangerous to have about, and the most effective cure was the rope.

' ' \ A Chicago preacher rises up to ex press his belief that Jonah really did explore the interior department of the whale, and might have furnished a big feature article .to the newspapers had there been any on his circuit. A class of Republican papers are quoting from Mr. Blame's letter of Feb. 6, "My name will not go before the Republican national convention tor the nomination," and wondering if he really is a straight prophet. That is an ingenious assumption that the men who are trying to nominate Blame would be deterred by the knowledge that they would hasten his death. That event would not disturb their ends. *m One of the clergymen at Omaha, recently preached about hell, and pro nounced it a worse place than Omaha in many respects; hotter, for instance.

White, of Moorhead, Talks About Politics in the Sev enth District. Editor Johnson Says Turrell Will Succeed Lind in the Fighting* Second. Elaine Is Capt. Reed's Choice and No Other Man Will Do. More Timber Stealing- on the Indian Reservation 'Way Up North. A. A. White, of Moorhead, the junior member of the linn of Cauistock & White, was one of Ihe well-kuovvu Northern Minnesotaiis at the Mer chants' yesterday. Mr. White was the founder of the thriving city of Kalispel, in the Fathead valley of Wesiern Mon tana, having visited the town and lo cated it long before the Great Northern had pierced the mountains to the east. At this time the present Flathead me tropolis was reached by stage ana steamboat, the town at Kavnlli on the Northern I'acifi c, being the nearest point. From there to Flatlwad lake was a short trip by stage, and then came a steamboat ride the entire length of the lake. The valley is one of the most healthful in the country, and, barring the associations, the trio was, even in those days, a delightful one. Oo!. White, who has been in the town site business for many years, having located nearly all the thriving towns and cities on the Great Northern, is a keeu observer and lias many interesting anecdotes at his command gathered from actual experi- Like his partner, the late cougress nian from the Fiftti district, Col. White is a Republican, but lie is not much of a politician, preferring business to poli tics. For a layman, however, he takes considerable interest in what is Koing on in his district. "Will Mr. Comstock accept the Re publican congressional nomination in the Seventh district this year?" was asked Mr. White yesterday. : ; "I don't think he Das made up his mind yet," was the answer. "The Alliance is very strong in that district, and a great many men do not like the idea of being put up to be knocked down. Ours is a purely agricultural district and the only cities of any size . ill it are Crookston, Fergus Falls, Moor head and possibly Morris. Of course, things may change and the Alliance movement go down. There is no question at all about the movement breaking down, and when it commences to go it will not take long to end it. But I don't know as this will come this year, nor whether Mr. Com > stock will accept a nomination for con gress if offered to him.'' V PICKS A WINNER. Editor Johnson, of New Ulm, : Nam Turrell in the Second. • "L"F.. W. Johnson, the alert and vigorous editor of the New Ulm Review, dropped into "the city yesterday and spent the day viewing the politics of the Second district from the Merchants' lobby. Mr. Johnson is at present a staunch sup porter of Hon. O. B. Tnrrell, of Red wood county, for the Republican con gressional : nomination in his district, and believes that unless some new Rich ' mond enters the field the Redwood Falls farmer and banker will carry off thy prize. Editor Johnson several months ago started a boom for Lieut. Gov. Ives, of Nicollet, and did.it so enthusiastically that he had just about nominated the St. Peter man when the latter announced that he did not desire the nomination. This was a dampener on the Saw Ulm ed itor, but he quickly rallied, and is now doing effective work in behalf of Mr. Turrell. • : The New Ulm Review, Mr. John son's paper, is one of the oldest and ; most solid of tlie weekly papers of Southwestern Minnesota. It was formerly the property of Col. Joseph Bobleter, the present state treasurer, under whose management it won a high rank among the papers of that section. This old reputation is being won back by Mr. Johnson, who does not hesitate to declare that he has one of the ilnest properties ot the kind in the state. But to return to polit : cs in the Second, Ed itor Johnson said: "Prof. McCleary will have the Bine Earth delegation tho largest in the dis trict, Messrs. Turrell Brown, Lyon and Redwood, and Senator Davis may pos sibly get Nicoilet. In the other counties : 1 am not acquainted with the situation in detail, but 1 will predict that Tur rell will secure the nomination." ■ % . .. SHOUTS FOR BLAINE. Capt. Reed, of Glcncoe, Wants the Magnetic Man. Capt. A.H. Reed, the veteran McLeod county Republican leader, spent a por tion of yesterday in the city lookin g after business matters. Capt. Heed is developing considerable strength as a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for congress in the Third district, although he declared that he is not a candidate at all. There is little doubt of his nomination by the Republicans if he will accept. Biaine is Capt. Reed's choice for the Republican presidential nomination. and he will be .at Minneapolis prepared to help William Hennery Eustis shout for the Maine man. "1 hope Biaine will be the nominee," he said. "He is the greatest statesman the country has ever produced, and I am one of those who will never be satis lied until he is president of the United States." :.'," :.-■: :• '-; '■ ■ I MORE TIMBER STEALING. Another Indian Reservation Plun dered on a Large Scale. The Globe has so frequently called the attention of the people of this state, and the government officials as well, to the illegal timber cutting carried on every winter on the Indian reservations up north, without avail, that it seems' hardly worth while to print any more information on the subject. After each exposure the . government inspectors brace up and pretend to work. Some times, as in the case of the Fond dv Lac reservation, the timber is seized and ad vertised for sale, but an order always conies previous to the day fixed for the sale, suspending proceedings, and the big lumbermen always get away with the timber. The .magnificent Fon dv Lac reservation has been . illegally de nuded with the tacit consent of the gov ernment officials. And yet some papers and many poli ticians hare the supreme nerve to ridi cule Congressman Halvor&on's attempt to have this timber stealing probed to the bottom ! From Capt. T. W. Tidd. a government timber inspector, who has evidently being doing his duty, comes a . story to the effect that the Winnibegoosis res ervation has been plundered dur ing the past winter of about 20,000,000 feet of white pine. It has • been the custom of the Interior depart ment to grant Indians on reservations the privilege of Cutting all dead and down timber on their preserves aud dis posing of it. From the start this has led to fraud and stealing. In . order to get timber to cut trees are often girdled and killed and : forest fires started for the same object. But Oapt.- Tidd is » authority for the statement that no less than '20,000,000 feet of green timber has been cut on the .Wuwiibagoshish re servation during last winter. , These logs have all been stopped in the lakes and rivers up north, but it's dollars to doughnuts that the whole proceeding will be dropped.

Three Personal Injury Cases in the Federal Courts. Three personal injury actions for large amounts were begun yesterday in the United States circuit court. The reason assigned for resorting to the federal court instead of the state court is that the plaintiffs are not citizens of the United States, but only denizens. The plaintiff in each case states that he was green and not aecastomed to working at a place involving discretion on his parr, and each complains that his boss ought not to have had him work at a danger ou? place. They each plead their lack of experience in the work given them. Jacob Anderson was working in a stoneyard for Lauer Brothers and Jo seph H. BoasQset. He was assisting to hold a boom rope and did not let go and get out of the way when Bousquet did and was jerked by the rope and injured so as to produce a rupture. He wants 515.000 damages. Uorje JMattson asks 515,000 from Isaac Staples. lie tended a cornshellei in the basement of a mill at Maple Island and let his hand be caught when reaching for the stopper to the chute from which he was carrying cobs. His arm was crushed and amputation was necessary. Gust Larson seeks judgment for §7,000 against the iiutledge Lumber and Manufacturing company. He was working as swamper in the woods last fall. They were drilling holes in a rock for the purpose of blasting. " A blast of powder did not explode as in tended. He was told to pour water in the hole to saturate the powder so that it would not explode. He then went to work at pounding a drill with a sledge. A spark from thedrill ignited the powder and Larson was injured by the ex plosion that followed. He says that his eyes only have one-half the power they formerly had. He complains that the water poured in the hole froze and he did not know enough to refuse to work at the hole until he was assured that he had poured enough water therein to drown the powder. ASCENSION THURSDAY. Yesterday the Catholic church cele brated the festival of the ascension, or what is generally called Ascension Thursday. The feast is commemora tive of the ascent of oar Lord into heaven, and is observed by the faithful as a holiday of obligation. At 0 o'clock a pontifical high mass was celebrated at the cathedral, during which a large number of boys and girls, about a hun dred in number, made their first com munion. It was a most beautiful as well as a most edifying spectacle, and the church was crowded during the services, which were unusually solemn and impressive. The three days preceding Ascension Thursday, called rogation days, were observed, as days of prayer. VIOLATED THE LAW. Tbe Interior Department Investi gating the Cutting of Pine. i Alaj. Warner, special agent of the in terior department, is in the city dressed in a suit of corduroy and looking as brow nas a berry.

A full statement of the facts were stated in the Oi.obe some time since. Maj. Warner declined to be interviewed on the subject, but it is conceded that he found a wholesale violation of the law by the men who have contracts for cut ting dead timber. — — — — — Board of Public Works Business.

Say you select a $50 Fur Garment, This is May. You pay $10 now, $10 in June, July, August and September, and tout garment is paid for before I you need it to wear. You haven't felt the outlay and have avoided annoying de lay, and really saved so much money that would have gone without anything to show for it. This applies with just as much (and per haps more) force to more expensive gar m ants. By commencing early you will have a long time to pay in, and perhaps you won't have $50 or more ready to buy with in the Fall when you want a Coat, unless you do this way. How is it ? Does it strike you ? Last Fall we had lots of ladies who were very sorry they hadn't taken advantage of our Summer Installment Plan, as they could have got much better garments' than they could then afford to put out the money for. Don't delay. Come NOW, pick out or order what you want, make your payment, and you will thank us later for giving you the chance. If you HAVE a garment already, and want it re paired, you can't get it in work any too soon, as you can't get it done at all should you wait until -.Oc tober. • Yours Sincerely RANSOM -A-3STD HORTON.
