THE WAR.

The first passages at arms IN the
great war between the Russians and
Turkey, resulted in several unimpor
tant victories to the latter. As Russia
is the invading force, this was to be
expected. Russia is getting her grand
armies massed, aud in a few DAYS the
war will be commenced. In fact. a
great battle has been raging at Kars
for several days, but there is no re-
liability in the news as to the results
No other European Power has en-
tered the arena yet, but tremulous
fear pervades all.

THE FUTURE.
1BissisalppB LeVees and tpehT
Building.

The great enterprise Of levying The
Mississippi from Cairo TO New Orleans
is to be a controlling issue in the va
tioual politics of this country. ne
outlook now seems to fix the en'er
prise as a success in the near future.
and the nearness Of that success ue
ponds upon the attitude aud policy Of
the Southern members Of Congress
The people of the Mississippi V'''ey
must commence to take live action III
this matter, and thereby make oui DE
mands and interests felt and known
The Northern States have resped me
lions share of national appropriation
for railroads, rivers, harbors, and such
things, and it has been largely attriou
table to the fact that Southern mem
bers of Congress opposed such aPPro
nria,ions. In other words the Soutt
has refused such aid for her material
development. and the North demande'
and received it. The North has II
consequence grown rich, populous and
prosperous, and the South poor, de
pendent, and 6sancially helpless. |
Is but right now that the account
should be balanced, aud the SOutl
permitted TO draw a proPOrtionate par
for the development of her NationaI
thoroughfares.
The political thSorist may squirm a.
such q policy, but the car OF progrtss
is moving and live politicians aud
leaders are coming to the front on
these live Issues. We have lost mil
lions of wealth aud thousands of pop
ulation by adhering to political alb
stractions, and the country now de-
mapds material advancement.
The South must at least get even
with the North on these appropriations,
and we can get it, by the asking-by
simply making our members of Con
gress say from their seats that we are
willing to receive it. The bill making
appropriations for the building of the
levee from Cairo to New
Orleans can be passed at the very
next Congress, it the members from
the Mississippi valley will speak out
Shall they do it?
These governmental appropriations
should only be to National thorough
fares, and not to petty streams and
neighborhoOd railroads.
The North has Outstripped the South
in the matter of wealth, and why 2?
Compare the rich lands of the Missis
sippi valley with the barren hills OF
New England, and does it afford
answer. Our natural ad
vantsges are a thousand per cent
ahead of them. We compare favOra
bly, with the Western States in every
hing except wealth aud material de
yelopmeut. The grand cause of this
disparity, is that the Government has
ostered and built up those sections by
appropriations for their internal i'm
,rovement.
The opportunity is now coming up
or the Mississippi valley and the
south to get even, aud We want our
people to accept it We want our
people to demand of Judge Boone his
position on this question. We want
hem to demand to know of a<pirants /
or Congress in the future The build I
ng of the Mississippi levee is worth /
more to the material development and
of our country than all
he political theories aud constitutional
Distractions our members of Congress
an discuss in life time. Therefore
