| st. Louis Times Journal, Wednesday:
the most healthful sign in connection with
| the revival of river commerce is that the time
draws near when every tub will have to
stand on its own bottom. Stock companies
managed by hlgh-minded, conscientious gen.
| tlemep, who have at heart the good of stock
holders and that of their employees, are bless
| ings and should be encouraged, but when
such institutions fall into the hands of ig-
norant, vindictlVe persons who manipulate
them on the rule or ruin plan, they become a
curse to the country, and deserve the disas-
trous fate which inevitably await them
| Usurpatlon ,s no less a crime when applied
to one of the peoples rivers than 20 one o.
| their States. There is a better day coming
for the poor downtrodden boatmap, ana 8
worse one coming for those who have added
insult to injury to this class of people"
