The Detroit Bridge Question.

The Board of Engineers appointed to
investigate and report in relation to
bridging the Detroit river at Detroit have
made their final report. The Board was
composed of Lieut.. Col. W. T. Reynolds,
Lieut.. Col. Nathaniel Michler, Major O.
NJ. Poe, Major ID. c. Houston and Major
j. NJ. Wilson. They have had several
sessions, and heard and read many petit
tiOns for, and prOtestatiOns against a
bridge, and while they, or majority yof
them, are of the opinion that a bridge
might be built, provided it be sixty feet
above the water, and has draw spaces of
three or four hundred feet, still the com
mission favor a tunnel. One mem
ber, Major Wilson, is decidedly
opposed to any kind of a bridge.
They all agree that a bridge could not
be built without, in measure, interfer-
ing with navigation and as the lake and
river crafts have the right of way it ap-
pears questionable how a bridge can be
built without a conflict between the
passage of vessels through the bridge
and cars over it. 1t appears from re-
ports that the number of vessels of yari-
Gus kinds passing Fort GratiOt for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1879. was 22,-
$50. One can see that with this large
number of vessels passing it would be to
say the least attended with considerable
inconvenience. The committee are unan-
imOusly in favor of a tunnel which
would be no interference to the passage
of vessels or trains.

zens of the state and empire which, after
1880, you are going to find located on
these lakes, right near where we stand
And yet, throwing all jesting aside, we
as Americans want to get on to a little
broader scale than simply our states.
We want to find and realize the feel
ing that humanity is the same on both
sides of the fence; that it is the same on
both sides of any imaginary line; the
prosperity one is the prosperity of all.
We want no more of the state bride that
only reaches to the line of the state. We
want the pride of an ambition, of busi-
ness brain, that will take US all over our
own land, and show us that the prosper
ity OF one state is the prosperity of all,
and that the growth of one is the
growth of all. stood on the steps of a
factory in New England lastsnmmer, as
the hands went out to dihnef, and they
poured out, and poured out, and finally,
after they had all gone, the superintend-
ent said to me: "HOw many people do
you think are leaving here tO-day?" I
said: Il can't imagine, but it looks like
a brigade" He asked the foreman who
said there were, on the pay rolls 500
people, who had just gone out of the
gate. And thought what was my duty
as citizen, living way out in the west
where there are no factories, and where
we raise grain and corn and wheat. /
said to myself my duty is, after all. to
remember this 500 people, to feel that
they are as much my neighbOrs, that
their interests are as much mine, that
i'm my public and private action i should
do as much for these 5000 people as /
would for 5000 people living in my own
state. That ought to be the spirit of all
of us, north and south, east and west,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that we
are one people and one nation, with one
common welfare in which we should all
be interested. That is the platform of
the future American citizen. 1t is well
enough to have our little pride i'm our
state if we do not carry it too far. like
a man of that kind. l like those folks
who come up here from New England
and tell us what a wonderful people
they are, and how high Bunker Hill
is, and how salt their Goldfish are. They
make better American citizens perhaps,
for that. A man, think. who loves the
place where he was born, makes better
citizen i'm some other land than if he did
not love that place. think man who
loves one woman devotedly will love
all women moderately, and the man who
loves his neighbOr has heart for man
kind. That is all right. But we do not
want to carry this notion Ofstate, or pride
of state rights, one inch beyond the line
of our duty as American citizens i'm the
greater and wider sense. Keep up our
states just as we have, and name our
children with the last name of our
states, as Gen. Grants father named
him-U. S. Michigan, U. S. Massachu-
setts, Q. s. Mississippi, and SO on
through; and the time is coming, and it
is not far distant, when that will be the
mark and the distinguishing brand of
every man that loves the land he lives
in

Steamboat Inspection.

James A. Dumont, Supervising In
spector General of Steam Vessels, in his
report, shows that during the last fiscal
year, there were 4,2S9 steamers inspect
ed and 1922 officers licensed. Total
number of lives lost by accidents from
various causes, III, fOrty-fOur of which
are not chargeable to accidents resulting
from the use of steam in navigation.
Notwithstanding the increase of 400 YES
sells to the steam merchant marine since
the last report, there has been steady
decrease'in the number of fatal casual
ties.
In view of the amendment to section
4,45S. Revised Statutes, contained in Sen
ate bill No. 11S, which, if passed, will re-
duce the amount of fees collected for
the maintenance of the service to about
$41, 800, in round numbers, less than its
actual cost, the Inspector General says:
Il deem it my duty to call attention to
the fact there was on June 80 last stand
ing to the credit of this service, for the
payment of salaries and expenses, sur
plus of S430, ,738, which, added to the sur
plus of $59,9 1929 in excess of receipts dur
ing the last fiscal year. would give to-
tai of $490, 7O7, sum sufficient to meet
such deficiency, should it occur through
the reduction proposed, for period of II
years or upward. Further, in view of
the fact that this accumulation in ex-
cess of the needs of the service is the re-
suit of taxes collected chiefly from mas
ters, mates, pilots and engineers, it is to
be hoped the amendment will pass, and
thus furnish means to restore this large
sum of money to the parties to whom it
most properly belongs"
The report continues: "The only real
objection to any part of the steamboat
law is to that portion which discrimi-
mates against steamers engaged in in
land navigation in the matter OfpersOn-
al liability of the owners thereof. Why
certain liabilities should be Imposed up
on vessels navigating rivers or inland
waters, which are not placed upon those
plying i'm other waters, is Incompetent
sible, and the hope is expressed that
Congress will take some action to re-
dress what is claimed by steam-ves-
sel-owners to be great wrong to them.'
