And now comes the Chicago Journal and
has its say about the diffusive disposition of
the Mississippi:
The true solvent of the Mississippi prob
lem is found in the bayous OF the lower re-
gion. The Amazon, which is about the
same length as the Mississippi, gradually
Wldens as 1t nears the ocean, being ten
miles in width at Gurupa, and finally. at its
mouth, 1t stretches over one hundred and
eighty miles, while 1.-THE Father of Waters"
is not much wider at its mouth than it is at
New Orleans, and at New Orleans, Mem
phis and Quincy the width is about the
same. When, therefore. the river shows a
diffusive disposition, it should be humored
i'll it. The several bayOus of the lower Mis-.
sissipi should be made still more effective
drainage. By aiding nature, rather than
futilely attempting to thwart her. the bor-
Tors of inundatiOn must be guarded against.
The Mississippi can not be permanently
walled up, but it can be cOaXed to 90 its
way peaceably by giving ii outlets enough.
Whatever tillable land has to be appropri
ated should be equitably paid for, on pre-
cisely the same plan as lands for canals.
railroads, wagon reads or any other public
purpose are condemned" and paid for.
This drainage plan will probably he
recommended by the committee. The next
question to be considered is this: Upon
whom shall fall the expense! We should
say the true way would be to make the
State and the United States share it be-
tween them. 1t would be too heavy a bu1.
den for the former to sustain alone Re-
sides it would be a local and a national
benefit both, much as the Michigan and hit
nOis canal is beneficial to the nation nt
large, and this State in particular
thorough plan should be matured,
giving all the facts, including careful es.
innate of probable expenses, and then Con
gress could act promptly, intelligently and
without needless delay.
