POOR ENCOURAGEMENT TO LOCAL IN
DUSTRY.

The testimony of Senator Allen Greene
before the congressional committee yes
terday was very instructive, and was lis
tened to with great attention by the gen
tlemen OF the committee as well as all
who happened to be present. We were
very forcibly struck with that portion of
it in which he described the difficulty he
had experienced in obtaining and keeping
skilled labor in his shoe mandatory in
Greensboro, as well as more ordinary
workmen in his tannery. He stated that
he had ten thousand dollars invested in
machinery in his shoe mandatory, and
that he could and would employ sixteen
workmen in that branch of his business
if he could keep them. He had several
times brought people from Massa-
chusetts, but they would soon be-
come disguised with the condition
of society and leave for home. Through
gentleman in Natick, massachusetts,, he
had engaged sixteen workmen, but upon
the representation of one who had been
here, they all excused themselves from
filling their engagements. The Senator
attributed this all to the ostracism which
was exercised toward them because of
their nativity, as well as because they
were employed by Republican. He
was willing to pay good wages, and
owing to his facilities for tanning leather.
which he says can be done here at a much
less expense than it can be done in the
North he could make his factory . source
d great profit to him, were it not for the
act that he could not keep his skilled
Torkmen. So he is compelled to let his

that natural causes were acting TO- cause
the supply to diminish. Consequently,
works are recommended at the heas Of
the pass to prevent this decrease. The
only work which could effect this purpose
would be spur Dyke DETECTING waite,
| from Pascal Outre, which is now the
best outlet of the Mississippi. The other
obstacle is the danger by this attempt to
oppose the forces of nature Of obtaining
too much water. Il the work be carried
too far greater volume of water would
be thrown through South Pass than would
be desirable. It is therefore suggested
that it may be necessary to pave some
portion Of the head of South Pass to pre-
vent ma ture from giving it too great a
cross section. The board recognized the
fact that there was delicate equilibrium
to be main tanned at this point, in order
that the jetties at the debouch of the pass
be kept effective. No estimate Of the cost
OF paving being given, it is fair to pre-
sumo the friends of the canal beat their
opponents, and prevented any agreement
to lump and divide on this point
Captain Eads refusing to yield insists
on being allowed to experiment on South
west Pass. In holding to their views and
objects, the opponents of the canal, if they
really desire to give New Orleans free
access to deep water, should have some
reason for this preference. But the reason
is not so apparent. Tho bar at Southwest
Pass moves out three times as fast as that
at South Pass, into shoaler water, being
directed every year farther toward the
coast of Texas and away from the deep
water OF the Gulf It's length is five miles
more than South Pass, hence the velocity
OF its current is less and consequently not
SO effective for securing purposes. The
bar has shoaled twenty feet since the
jetty experiment Of Craig & Richter at
its mouth, and the estimated cost of the
jetties double that at South Pass.
Under these circumstances it is strange
that Captain Eads, would prefer Sou tn
west Pass rather than that selected by the
board, unless it is that the St. Louis
Bridge Company prefer that the expert
ment should be made where there is the
east chance of success.

tAo uAuu5 VI SOue VI tue members were
satisfied only in that way, and it must be
said the ''ifs" have it. Some facts, that
could not be ignored, are stated, the pos
sibility of construction admitted, and the
general features of plan agreed upon.
The report says: 1.-The question of the
average annual expense of prolonging
the jetties is very serious one." Certain
specifications, based on '.ifs," are given,
and are made to lead to mathematical re-
suits which have no foundation except in
theory. The general statement is made
that different estimates made by this
method (of ifs) and others by different
members of the board vary largely" as to
the question stated, as every serious
one." 1t is hardly possible to avoid the
conclusion that this compromise was
effected by Jumping the various estimates
of cost and length of annual extension.
and determining the exact distance of
1000 feet that the jetties would have to be
extended in ten years, with an assumed
depth Of fifteen feet, by dividing the total
by seven.
} These estimates are absurd. Bridges
have been estimate at cost of $4,000
900 which mounted up to 100000
before completion, but the example can
hardly serve as a precedent for jetty esti-
mates. AS a total obtained by the boiling
down OF individual estimates, the board
as cost Of construction and
maintenance of improvement for ten
years, 1892, ITO, and no cents.
Two obstacles to the success of the
lefty plan are limited at by the board.
The first is the fear that there NAV mt
