TIIERE is nothing private about the

The session closes this week and the

ONLY four more days remain for
claimants to urge their llttlo bills upon

THE EASTERN FLOODS.
The damage cauiod by the flood in
the Ohio river and its tributaries can
not bo estimated until the river his
subsided and full reports como in
from the submerged country , Enough
has boon told to show that the dlstrots
and destruction done by the watota
can scarcely bo exaggerated. Clnciii
natl and Louisville have boon cut off
from the rest of the world , their
streets turned Into rivers , and their
food supplies diminished with hun
dreds of homeless citizens confronted
with hunger.
For several days famine waa serious
ly dreaded , The railroads were un
der water , the atoamors did not run
for want of a landing and supplies
could not bo sent to the anfforore.
Fortunately the river is now rapidly
subsiding and the worst of the flood
along the Ohio is probably over.
There Is , however , every reason to
believe that both the Mississippi and
Missouri will bo greatly swollen this
spring. The anew on the nppar Mle-
sonrl is reported aa , very deep on the
level and ita molting will add an enor
mous volume of walor to the
river when the ice begins to break np.
Residents of towns along the lower
Mississippi are already anxious over
the increasing height of the rlvor
which ia rising daily aa it receives the
overflow from the Ohio.
It looks aa If the entire basin of the
Mississippi between the Missouri and
the Alleghanlea ia thont to experience
a series of inundations equal at least
to thoao of two years ago. Com
mon prudence will dictate the
greatest care on the part of those
who have property on the rlvor bet
toms.

Meanwhile the country will bo call
ed upon to respond liberally to the
cries of distress from the sufforora
from the Ohio dolugo. Ninety thons-
r. A workmen have been thrown out
of employment and five thousand fam
ilies are homeless. The great oltles
will bo able to take care of themselves
but there will bo many in the flooded
agricultural districts who will need aa-
