More Than 'Willing' to Subscribe to En- ' thnaiastle Fraise of tlte Admin istration -Other 'Sewn. New- -Youk,. June 2. Ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt whose opposition to President Harrison's nomination is no secret, when seen today regarding the interview with the president in which Mr. Harrison was reported as saying that he did not believe "individual dis appointment" would control the ' action of the convention at Minneapolis, said: "The remarks about 'individual disap pointment' indicate how thoroughly the president misapprehends the nature of the opposition to his candidacy, and how wise is the American system pf frequent changes in.-the personnel of the government- "It Is astonishing how: quickly and bow easily is the process by which a uiau comes to look upon the office he holdsras his -private property ,' He be comes accustomed to the homage which follows in its ' train, and regards it as little less than impious to suggest that he had better make way for another. The president annot understand how a man can be a good citizen' without offer ing's prayer night and day for the. re election of ' Benjamin Harrison. 1 He 'does not conceive it to be morally possi ble for any one to , oppose him except from baa, selfish and revengeful motives, Now I; ; am - - what' our mugwump friends delight to stigmatize as an un practical politician. I look at things as they really are. . The president says in this interview that he has acted con scientiously in the discharge of his pub lic duties. It is far from me to question that. . I am more than willing - to sub scribe to' really enthusiastic praise of his administration. It certainly has done great things, but the president should not assume t hat he is the only man who, since 1S89, has contributed to its achieve ments. He is only one of many states men who conjointly have labored to the country's honor and advantage. ' Blaine gave us the last attractive and ; popular feature to our policy the magnificent scheme of reciprocity, which has saved to the people 180,000,000 of taxation here, and on their exports half as much more in the foreign countries where they are sent. He has extended our. foreign trade, not less than $75,000,000, and promises soon to do vastly more than that. Now," if I remember rightly, when Blaine sent to the president his pan-American report, proposing reciprocity, Mr. Harri son forwarded it to congress with some thing like a sneer.- In short, he threw cold water on reciprocity".' . Later,- when Blaine's public letters demonstrated that the people were with him and his great policy, and when con gress put it into law and Brazil gave Blaine a treaty,' the 'president went starring through the south, saying very much about the 'glories-of reciprocity and very little about tbe statesman who contrived it.. Reciprocity is the brightest jewej i -..the - crown of this administra tion - but Whose jewel is it? This admin istration settled the Samoait difficulty with Germany ; that was a particularly ugly and, delicate affair, arid undoubtedly great, credit ,ia due to, the repubjican government (Vrhich jt ;adjastedS It,', so promply, so; neatly and. so advantag eously. .1 dare say the president should come in for his -share Of the - credit but it was.not he wbx drewthev instructions under which our commissioners ' acted, and it was certainly theyj whor did the business. , They. were able men.., Kasson is most experienced - diplomat,' Phelps hb a man of great' " tact and descretion, and Bates, ' Mr. 4 Bayard's ' friend from Delaware, thad been' ' .to i Samoa and knew : all about the i situation. It was a' victory for-the Harrison ad ministration, but we must not wholly forget Blaine, Kansas, Phelps and Bates. TheCbilian affair, was also a victory, and" the" president was' highly con spicuovs at the finish, but even there he must divide honors with the secretary of the navy, who built and armed ' cruisers between nightfall and morning' for two weeks before the Chilians were down on their knees in abject apology, ' and with Commander Evans, whose martial de meanor gave the Chilean admiral a ter rible cramp. We mast not leave out Tracy and Evans.- "This administration has vindicated thft honor of "the Ameri can hog.- Now for' the first time in twenty years American meat products are admitted in every European market on the same terms with the meat products of other lands, and in some markets on terms even more favorable.- I have had some difficulty in figuring out just who has done this. ' Certainly it was don primarily by tbe agents of the state de partment : by Minister Reid in' France, Phclphs in Germany, by Minister Grant j in Australia, and by other ministers. If I remember correctly, Mr., Reid began this work with, a hostile Parisian press, a hostile French public, a hostile - cham ber of deputies and, at the firsta hostile government to contend with. He gave such a character to the American! hoj; as to enable it to force its way not only into the French market, but into every other. No my excellent friend, Secre tary Rusk has said that he is very much obliged to Mr. Blaine and the state department for the able assistance they have rendered to him in securing the admission of American meat pro ducts abroad. This seems to me that it was Rusk who did it. -. . , "In a recent speech, the president himself said that this result had been accomplished, ill such complacent tetms as to make nie .' fear that Rusk had counted without his host; but whether it was done by "the president or by Rusk, the republican party and the country will not be like! v to-forget that Blaine was in the' state department, that Reid was at Paris, that Phelps was at Berlin, and that their relation ' to the victory was not altogether mechanical. , "It might be said perhaps that the credit of the achievements wrought by republican statesmen belongs . especially to the president on the ground that he gave those great men to the party ; but did he? Certainly it was -not Harrison who made Blaine, nor . did he make Reid, nor William McKinley, nor John Sherman, nor Allison, nor Aldrich, nor Frye, nor Hale. I guess maybe he did make Noble and Miller, and I shall -not object to his having all the credit which attaches to their careers ; but the point I wish to bring but is that ours is a gov ernment of parties, " and not a govern ment of men. The president's error lies in assuming that he has done it all. ' ."He asks the country, to see in him the inspirator and creator of all that has brought process and happiness to inepeopie since ne Degan to reside in the White House ; he attributes to him self all the glorious achievements of the last congress, quite ignoring the superb genius whose strong arm and clear head turned havoc into order- and made tbe feeble majority of three or-' four the most prolific and successful body of law makers that ever sat in - congress. The McKinley bill, the customs act, the shipping bill, the pension law, the navy construction laws, the fortification law, the. army reform acts, the wonderful leg islation which the republican majority of that congress formulated, and which Thomas B. Reed's resolute will enabled them to enact, Mr.' Harrison attributes to himself, and says "See what I have Inn A " - done ' The Sacramento River. ; Sacramento, June 1. The river is surprising everybody by not falling more rapidly. The water at this point shows a decline of only' three inches in 24 hours, the figures being 26 feet 8 inches. The water is running : more swiftly than before the break in tbe Yolo levee, ' but even now it is not moving rapidly enough to do much in the way of scouring the river bed. the amount ot. water flow- . . . . ., ine through the break should ordmarilv . . . . .,, . . . , - lower the river rapidly, but . the enor- mous overflow from the upper reaches of the stream keeps up the supply.

Advices to the Associated Press from many points show that heavy rain storms prevailed yester day and last night throughout a largo section of the Mississippi valley.' The heavy rain soaked the ground, farther delaying planting and drowning out the grain already in the ground. - Advices so far received, cover the states of Ken tucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma and Indian territories.- I , At New Hope, Ky., the rainpour was j accompanied by a destructive hail storm, doing great damage to grains, fruit, and ! vegetables. Fields arennder water, and the situation is so alarming that the prica of corn has advanced 10 cents a bushel. , At Fort Smith, Ark.,' rain was accom panied by a wind storm which did con siderable damage to buildings, etc. At Greenville, Tex., 'the electrical , storm killed several hundred acres of grain and cotton, giving them .the ap pearance of being burned. , Guthrie, O. T., reports a family con sisting of man, wife and three children drowned while trying to ford the Can adian river. Further disastrous floods, it is believed, must result, with proba ble loss of life and property, in addition to the vast ravages already inflicted. At Indianapolis, the floods continue to increase.
