KEEP COOL.-SOme of our citizens ex-
press the belief that whatever prospects
there may have been for obtaining an ap-
preparation from the general government
for the improvement Of the Mississippi
river IN this section, has been destroyed
by the recent publication In the Chicago
Tribune. We see nothing very serious in
all this. We must expect opposition, and
especially from Chicago. II Cairo meets
with no more serious opposition In her
efforts to obtain an appropriation than
that contained In the Tribune, we will do
well. IN fact, we see nothing In all that
has been said by outside papers to cause
alarm or unnecessary distrust In the
minds of our people. II the worst comes
we will know 1t soon enough, and there
is no use borrowing trouble on interest.
The Chicago Tribune is not congress, and
its opposition 10 the proposed apprO-
priation will not exert any influence with
the members of congress, especially
when the appropriation Is suggested and
backed by such men as General Simpson,
Humphreys and others. SO let Us rest
easy.
