extends into Missouri, Kentucky, Io-

still rising at Memphis and below. The
President will call upon Congress to
render aid.
The tremendous catastrophe to the
whole Mississippi Valley from the riv-

portions shuost unparalleled in previ-
ous experience. From St. Paul to the
delta a story of destruction, suffering
and loss of life is swollen from every
section. A quarter of a million people
have been afflicted with most serious
consequences by this visitation, and
no one can easily compute the millions
of dollars in present and prospective
value which have been wiped out by
the vast tawny flood, which in places
is stated to be sixty miles in width. |

This rejoinder was conclusive enough
for the Republican mind to elicit ap-

out Mr. Terry, Arkansas
countered with the remark
of neatly
The fallacy of the gentleman's cou-
clusion was that it failed to take into
