a SAGACIOUS PREDICTION AND
ITS FIJLFILLMENT.

Many years ago, before pilots or officers
on boats were licensed, Henry Clay, the
Kentucky statesman, was \ passenger 10
New Orleans. In tho pilot house one
day pilot who was on watch suggested
to him that congress ought TO compel pi-
lots and other officers on boats to have
license. "Ah my dear SIR said Clay,
''if ever congress commences interfering
with boats aud their officers, there will be
no end to that interference" and the grea.
orator was right, for to this day congress
has so intorferod with the interest of boats
and boatmen as to cripple seriously the
river interests iu tho west and south. 1t
ia a remarkable fact that tho more con-
gress has had to do with the improvements
of tho Ohio river and the interests Of
boatmen, tho. less account tho river has
been, aud fewer men have been able TO
make living on the river. Before the
days Of snsg- boats, life.ssving apparatus
dams, bridges, and various new-fangled
patents, local inspectors and government
interference generally the Ohio river was
all right accidents were less, business
was better and dangers less. Look at 1t
now. Tho entire marine interest of the
West and South is not as prosperous and
safe No 1t WAS twenty-five years ago. AS q
profitable traffic it doesn't amount to q
row Of pins, Twenty years from now the
river from Pittsburgh to Cairo win be a
canal lined with locks
