Evansville Courier: w
Steamboatmen are beginning to feel u little
uneasy about the water The present rise will
hardly amount to over foot here, and low
water boats will be in demand. Old steamboat
men say that two low water seasons never come
together. and we hope they are right.
st. Louis Times:
by class Of men who, were anxious to secure
business by doing 1t cheaper than their com
petitors. As matter Of course, they are lnXa-
riably found running inferior boats, and, like
the Nomads of Arabia. are identified with no
place or trade in particular. Their mission
seems to be to make noise IN the world Tor
Is always brief, and they delight to clogg
the wheels of commerce by inaugurattng
always ends in bankruptcy to themselves and
hackers, and serious loss to those whom they
single out for their victims; Looking over the
past we recognize many such, characters. Some
Of them are now dead, and others enjoying
that measure of obseurity and poverty which
their own foolish or peradious actions have
" extinct. but there are q few of them yet left
on the river and their influence Is still ap
parent to the great detriment of navigation in
teress On the other hand we have some noble
men who have stood up for their right
and demanded living prices fssao f or, ser ser
and enjoy an enviable fame. We may
mention few: Thos. P feathers was never
cheap man. and during his long career he has
never seen a steamboat that could compete
with an old rattle-trap of a dinky, and he never
tried to compete with such. He marked out his
course and pursued it energetically, and to-day
he is rich, respected and honored. The same
may be said OF John W. Cannon, John A. Scud-
der. and others Of less mark. These examples
illustrate one fact which should not be over
looked by the rising generation, namely: What
ever you undertake to do, do it we'll and charge
living price for it; then will you be able to pay
your bills and command the respect and esteem
Of your neighbors and business associates
Your cheap mans rosd is invariably strewn
with wrecks, and an honest fame cannot be
reared upon such basis.
