not make breakfast for the teredo Of the

We hope the friends of the canal will de-
mand what the lawyers call prcfert of this
model work, the fish dam of Sir Charles
Hartley.
We can not have the bar Of the Danube
examined at the bar of the House, but
we demand that the Committee on Com
merce shall have some better evidence of
the applicability Of this foreign improve
ment than the simple allegation Of any
body. When it is now everywhere evident
that this dam nearly across the Mississippi
will drown out one of the best sugar
parishes, besides "backing up the water
to the upper reaches Of the river near the
city, we hope Congress will be very care
full how it dams our outlet on the example
of the fish dam of the little Danube.

TIMELY ADVICE.

Governor Kellogg wisely cautions des'
titute and unemployed people against
rushing to this already overcrowded city
during the present time of disaster.
They can be much more easily and Geo.
no mically furnished with supplies at their
homes, or such of them as may yet be
habitable, than here, where there is no
provision made for housing the fugitives
or preparing their food. Already, we
learn, a large number of destitute people
have arrived, and have been compelled to
remain on the levee, with such effects as
they brought with them. During the
past year at least 1--WE might add tor a
much longer period, there have been
many more people in this city than could
find profitable, even living employment.
The charity and bounty Of those who were
more fortunate have been largely drawn
upon, much to the embarrassment of the
thriftily inclined. An additional draft
on such hospitality would be simply op-
pressive, without in the least benefting
those who make it under the circum-
stances. There may be individual cases,
where friends in the city who can
afford it will send for their friends
to come and find home until
the subsistence of the food, Or better
times, but it will be found the wiser
course to first be sure of welcome before
venturing to look for refuge in this great
ly embarrassed community. Employment
is simply out of the question. We are ap-
preaching the season of the year when
there is positively nothing doing" ex-
cept in the plodding routine Of daily city
life. As a consequence, the services Of
many who depend upon their labor for a
living are dispensed with every day. If
those familiar with the city, and having
some claims by virtue of friendship and
acquaintance, are thus turned away, the
unrestricted friendless stranger will have
no chance whatever. Their best safety
an protection is to await at their own
homes such supplies as it will be possible
to send them.

J vhethsr 81 hss. food, spida mic.or revolt:
Gould they buy the means of defense with
their own bonds? South Carolina. bonds
are quoted from twenty-f five cents down to
seven cents on the dollar; North Carolina
from twenty-eight down to nine; Louisi-
ana securities, since the scaling, are not
an attractive investment. Why then
should these States desire to see the
national credit degraded? Congress gives
Louisiana to-day food and clothing. Do
we want the ability to pay for these sup
plies annihilated? Or do we wish the
price SO inflated by the degradation of the
medium as that the supplies will cost
double? The Herald should send a COM
missioner to inquire into the facts. All
these Southern States are now applicants
for federal bonds for purposes of
improvement. Georgia wants ten mil
lion canal from the Tennessee river to the
ocean. Virginia asks for canal from the
Ohio to the Chesapeake at cost of sixty
millions. Louisiana wants line of levees
to cost twenty millions, and outlet i'm
provements at ten millions. Texas and
Arkansas, want federal bonds enough to
build couple of thousand miles of the
Southern Pacific. Here is an application
for at least one hundred and fifty millions
of federal bonds by these Southern States,
and yet they are charged with wishing to
destroy the national credit.
Why, if there be any one portion of
this country more bound to the Uriou by
every tie of interest than any other, it is
the Southern States. 1t is the only way
for them ever to 'sget their money back"
Other States might live for awhile without
the Union. Boston, with her money bags,
Wall street, with Its corners in gold and
forgery in stocks, might subsist, but
the strength, the prestige, the credit of
the national government is the only pos
sible present reliance of the South. To
say that it is disloyal is untrue. To say
hat its rights should be withheld as
condition of its obedience is unjust.
Such statements and such policy was
never proposed by any American, but by
he alien tool and agent of inscriptions
neney dealers, not impossibly of despotic
enemies of Republican success.

HISTORY CORRECTED BY TRADITION.

a correspondent calls our attention to
our statement about the closing Of Pass
Maachac by the federal government
Our authority says:
Previous to the war with England, New
Orleans had not awakened to her great
commercial existence. The greater part of
her commerce found channel through
lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne. When,
for the defense of the country, it became
necessary for the federal government to
close those two outlets, above and below
the city, nothing was lett to be taken ex-
cept the way by the passes.
This vindicates our statement, and
we add the historical "reminiscences of
our correspondent, which are interesting,
even if consistent with the national action
on the subject:
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
By a statement Ia your paper yesterday
that "the federal government for the de-
tense of the territory closed the Pass Man
chac," perceive that you have fallen into
the common error, Endorsed by the IN
founded report that it was closed by the
order of General Jackson during the war
of 1912. Such was not the case. 1t was
closed be tine people in the neigh6orhood to
satisfy their notions of personal interests,
as was the Bayou Plaquemine during the
''late unpleasantness." The assertion made
q few DAYS ago in some of the papers that
it (the Bayou Plaquemine) was closed by

A deep and profound knowledge of our
selves will never fail to curb the emotions
we may feel at the foible of others. We
shall have learned the difficulty of correct
ing our habits too well to suppose it easy in
them, and instead of making the objects of
our sarcasm they will become the objects Of
our pity and our prayers.
