The vtime is near at hand for the first practical move opon the political chess board ; in ..the grand game which is about . to ciaim, the attention of the American people.

The signs, of the .times indicate a decisive: republican, victory ind 'the only question advanced, here - and -now, is the numbers of th'e:majority.-,'",' : -No doubt is. entertained respecting the return of -the Ion ,-Binger Hermann , and the election of the Hoir." W.f R.1 Ellis is reckoned upon, as a foregone- conclusion. Whatever may exis t of local and personal differences among your republican par tisans is lost eight of Irom this pJlnt of view and those best advised argue, from "the logic of the situation," that np other outcome of youy campaign is pos sible, if the people of the-.-state are ' true to themselves and theiij tradrtibne. ; v. The Hon. W. R Ellis is highly spoken of by all here who are acquainted with him. :; He' wiU;,: beyond- doubt,' prove to be a valuable acqusition to the house of representatives, g The people of his dis trict will make no mistake by ,; choosing- him with an emphatic majority. That the republicans will, be in the ascendancy in the fifty-third congress is quite ' prob able fend a telling :. endorsement -of any constituency is always of immense value to a new member of congress.

Ten Million Bushels of Wheat Lost as no Crop can be Raised. ' NE HI XDREI) MILLS AFFECTED. ImpoMlblc tu Adequately Kstiinate tlie Damages Valuable Lands -VortriletA. . St. Louie, May 23- The waters of the Mississippi began receding slowly gatur- day afternoon, and the worst is passed, but pen is incapable of picturing, the distressing scenes. . Ten thousand peo ple are homeless in the stretch of coun try, between this city and Cairo, and 500,000 acres of growing grain, hts been destroyed utterly. The great American bottom, comprising most of the Atchison and St. Clair counties, one of the great est potato fields of the Mississippi valley, is entirely inundated, and will not yield a single potato. The cabbage crop is also ruined. Tributary to St. Louis, the seriousness - of the situation may !e faintly realized when it stated that of all the land under water at least 500,0110 acres was in wheat, and considering the fact that no crop can be raised this year, this means that not less than 10,000,000 bushels of wheat is losti In addition to this, homes have been ' wrecked, cattle have been drowned and lakes and Knds formed where the lands , were dry for years. This renders what was formerly iMuauio ittau wurimess. vsver one hundred flour mills are affected more or less in th flooded districts ; farm labor ers are out of work, for 'the season, as well as millmen, and so the tale of woe increases.- At Cairo the riyer is twenty miles wide, and has eaten away homes, drowned stock and submerged faring. Reports from sections adjacent . to . East St. Louis are more favorable. The. rail- j-ways have not yet begun using their re cently-abandoned tracks. In Nortji St. Louis the back water caused many sew ers to burst and the health of the resi dents of that section is in danger unless, there is speedy-relief. The newspapers and the board of trade are soliciting sub- scriptions for the flood sufferers. While -attempting to pass through the flooded district - at Kansas, city Saturday the -Missouri- Pacific - accommodation was stalled in the midst of the flood. A train -of flat-cars long-enough to reach frum dry '-ground: -to the! stalled train, was made up, and. it backed up to the accoi- -modation, which .hitched on . to it- and pulled it out.r -The Arkansas pugsed the -great - rise , of 1884 . by twelve inches Thirty. iersons Here drowned at Kedneld ' by caving banks., j The country adjacent toJ'Iumb and. iWattersiclr bayous, the finest quality of bottom lands, in all un der water. .-.To add to the flood's dam age, acyclone passed south of Texurkana, Saturday; causing devastation and deso lation.' Houses and fences were leveled for miles. , The wind was accompanied by excessively heavy thunder and great quantities of sand, though there is no drysand within 100 miles of the city. The Des Moines river began rising again Saturday, but is now at a stand, but reached a foot above the highest point at any Stage the present season. Relief is asked for the flood sufferers of Iowa and Arkansas. In the latter state, over a district comprising forty miles, the crops of 15,000 people are ruined, and the water; will remain high so long that replanting of corn is not to be thought of. ;, Chehalis had, $150,000 fire yesterday, the work oi rramps; - Insurance $30,000.
