that our classical school at Market

that we may keep abreast other
cities. The reasoning is not al
together original or new. Jones
wanted to be abreast of his neigh
Dor Smith. He mortgaged his
home to buy a turnout as hand
some as Smiths or any other man.
He kept abreast of all his neighbors
for awhile. When the mortgage
had to be satisfied Jones began to
linger in the race and was soon left
so far behind that he lost home,
turnout and all. There is danger
that Memphis will share Jones'
fate in the matter of her public
schools if no better reason can be

pose, and actually confne the water
by a levee of sufficient strength to
prevent crevasses, this fact will be
demonstrated, as there would be
Immediately an absolute necessity
for further appropriation Of mil
hons Of dollars to draw off the sipe-
water that would be forced up
through the light, porous, sandy
soil Immediately back of those
mountainous levees. Those who
are familiar with levees know
that the sipe-water in the rear
of only a five or Six-foot levee
renders it impossible to cultivate
the lands with any degree of GER
tainty or satisfaction, and that de-
vastation, with all the evils and
none of the fertilizing deposits of
an overflow of river, would be ex-
perienced if we force the water to
rise fifteen or twenty feet higher in
the river than at present, as must
inevitably be the case if such a
leyee is constructed as would be re-
quired to con6ne the water in the
river. We hope the Tribune and
all papers who feel an interest in
the prosperity of the Mississippi
valley will fight against and defeat
all efforts at spending any more
money in a worse than fruitlesS at
tempt to levee the Mississippi river.
But we contend and hope the Tri-
bune and the people Of the North
west will agree with us that there
are millions of acres of ~overfowed
lands, including the entire Missis-
sippi valley, hat can and should be
reclaimed by draining off the water.
Illinois has drained many thousands
of acres Of its finest lands. Surely
she will not now oppose an appro-
priation enabling her less wise and
fortunate sister States doing the
same thing, especially when she was
enabled to drain her lands by an
appropriation from Congress. Ar
kansas, Missouri, Mississippi and
Louisiana foolishly squandered the
means furnished them under the
same act in trying to build leyees,
and now a few old fogies ask for
more money to spend in the same
way. The failure of the leyee sys-
tenn is SO patent it is strange any
one should ask for more money to
spend on them; and it is remark
ably strange that the Appeal, after
publishing so many of John
Cowden's unanswerable articles in
condemnation of the levees and 60
