SCHOOL SHIPS FOR NEW ORLEANS

The Agricultural and Mechanical CoNeqe
Journal says:
A practical school of navigation situated
here could educate ship commanders. espe-
cially for South America and the Indies.
and thus be an inestimable advantage to
our State, and especially to the city.
We do not believe that there Is any
school South Of the national school at
Annapolis in which navigation is taught,
and we do not know city where so much
material might be directed to the organ-
ization of a marine, indispensable to the
nation, as at New Orleans. The drawback
OF the duty on salt employed in curing
hsh has been granted to encourage that
nursery of seamen the fisheries of New
foundland and Of the Arctic ocean. Few
subjects have occasioned more diplomatic
discussions on the part of our government
than these American fisheries, and the
terms on which they shall be enjoyed is
even now subject of international con-
ference. To what is this importance due?
To the necessity Of practical school for
educating American seamen.
1t is obvious to all observing merchants
that the tendency Of American commerce
is toward the Southern seas; and it is also
well known that to conduct this commerce
requires mariners, qualified by nativity or

THE ADMINISTRATORS OF COM.
MERGE AND THE RIPARIAN PRO.
PRlETORS.

In last Sundays edition of the Times Citizen
wishes to know if riparian proprietois have the
right to tax the commerce of the city by demand
ing and receiving dues of vessels moored IL front
of their property. Answer-Ne.
Please ask Citizen" to answer the following
questions:
l. Has the Administrator of Commerce the right
of completely aud permanently blocking any por-
ton of the landing in front of the city by coal
boats moored as to constantly obstruct the free
use of the banks of the river'
2. The city charter says that all contracts for
labor and material estimates to cost over $500
shall be let out to the lowest responsible bidder
Has the Administrator of Commerce the right
under that charter to evade the law by giving out
contract for check post at seventytive dollars,
when it is estimated that seventy check posts will
be required, making in the aggregate $52U0!
If any doubt should exist on this point l beg
leave to refer Citizen TO the decision OF the Su
preme Court of New York in the case of the .cele-
brated Mr.. Tweed. who wont to indulge IN
such practices. Let others profit by his example
and experience.
3. Has the Administrator of Commerce the right
to inform the City Council that this outlay of 1920
was absolutely necessary 10 authorize him to col
lect wharfage, AMI when enjoned by court from so
|vdoing to turn round and say. I'VE can collect
wharfage anyhow, post or no post wharf OF 10
wharfr'
d. Has the Administrator of Commerce the right,
after he has failed to obtain injunction against
me- have police force detailed to my place, to
prevent from cutting check posts planted at
my cost on my own place.
And now still pertinent question,
which will answer.
Can the Administrator of Commerce do all this
without check remonstrance from the City
Councii'
Yes, if there is no Council.
Nc, if there is Council.
Unfortunately have seven independent adj
ministrators. npotent Mayor and no City
Council.
The impotency Of the Mayor and the independ-
ence of the Administrators the bitter result of
an ill-dsested city charter

New Orleans June 10, 1S14.)
WHEREAS, An act of the Legislature, approved
March Is, 1855, entitled IAN act to establish quar-
antine for the protection of the State" provides
that the Governor of the State shall issue his
proclamation, upon the advice of the Board of
Health declaring any place where there shall be
reason to believe pestilent, contagious or in
fictitious disease exists to be infected place, and
stating the number of days of quarantine to be
performed by the vessels, their passengers, Off
GERS and crews, coming from such place or places;
and
Whereas The Board of Health of the State of
Louisiana has this day officially informed me that
the following named ports are infected places,
viz: All ports in the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico
and Jamaica, and the port of Deinarara in South
America, and has recommended that all vessels
leaving any of said ports on and after June Is,
1874, shall be detained at quarantine station not
less than ten days.
Now, therefore, I, William P Kellogg, Governor

GERS, crews, passengers and cargoes, leaving such
places, or having touched or stopped at any OF

Injured by custom to the climatic peculiar
tiles of those SEAS What better could the
government do, in view Of the important
subject treated, than to constitute here
school for the instruction of officers and
mariners for this most lucrative trade
We have boys by the hundred running
our streets who would form the crews Of
school ship; we have young men Of intel
ligence and enterprise who would rejoice
in the opportunity Of entering the ma
tional or merchant marine. We have
thousands of colored people who would
make mariners capable of conducting a
commerce with every port at all seasons.
Would it not be well for our Represen-
tatives in Congress to look to this subject?
A correspondence with the Naval Depart
ment-an item in the next appropriation
bill-might place at the disposal Of our
educational board one Or more school ships,
and we might safely guarantee such an
immediate rush on board as would fill
the classes and organize system Of dis
cipline which would speedily give New
Orleans what she has never had and
never asked for, body Of mariners, to be
followed, no doubt, by q shipping inter-
est.
The suggestion is good one and we
hope it will be followed UP by such action
as will secure to the port of New Orleans
at least one or more national school ships.
