New Orleans Times Democrat
Unquestionably the Jetties have
been shock and scourge 10 the
croakers. They began by -defying
the disapproval of the stagnation-
lists. and they have ever since kept
on their way ii G hit hearted con
tempt for the SANDERS and detrac-
tons and gloomy prophecies OF
their enemies In the early days ii
was predicted that Capt Eads was
working in he interests of the ST.
Louis bridge, and that his purpose
was to block up the outlet TO the
Mississippi that the bridge might
grow fat upon our ruin. This spe-
ciOus argument struck terror to the
enlightened minds of the slagna-
tiOnists and moved them to exceed
ing lamentation. The Jetiies were
built, however, and the St Louis
bridge has somehow never figured
to any appreciate extent in the re-
suit. The great universal protes
tant, Murat Halstcad, Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, has thrown
some light on this subject by sta
ting that he can, by his own
strength, shake the ST. Louis
bridge until it trem bles Ike ar as
pen. In fact Murat has made. Il e
assertion 10 the writer OF this ar
ticle that more than once he has
walked 10 the middl OF the ST. Louis
bridge and there seized it in his
hands and shaken it until he fed
affrighted lest il tumble into Il
shapcless wreck while he was ~ o,
II.
Seriously, however, and without
going over again detail the ground
of the triumphant progress OF
the Jetties, We desire on this occa>
sion 10 call attention 10 tie chart OF
the channel OF South Pass. as based
upon the soundings made by Capt
Ruer, United States engineer corps.
during the latter days of July OF
this year-about month ago.
These figures speak for thems, Ives
and furnish sufficient recitation.
W NV mass VI iOoIiSu aHd fatSt
sertions that have been fiying
about from one irresponsible lip to
another. They show that the leas,
depth anywhere between the walls
OF the Jetties is 30 feet, against a
least depth of about six feet FIVE
inches before Capt. Eads applied
his scientific resources to the prob
lem of giving New Orleans a deep
water outlet to the sea. Further
more, by reference to the outline
OF the bed of Sc nth Pass above the
Jetties, illustrative of Capt Huer 5
sour d ngs, it will be seen that the
points at which the least dcpth-27
teet-eX'st constitute Il very small
part OF the bed of the channel, be :
ing, IN fact, mere spir of mud
which could easily G cut away so
as tn give the pass. as well as the
Ietties, a uniform depth OF morl
than 30 ieet. The current has now
secured away all the allusion, sand
etc. leaving only the hard blue mud
which forms the normal bed of the
stream. To disl0dge these fine
points OF clay W II be an easy task.

Bennett in Self. Defense.

The N. Y. Herald editorially replies to the
newspapers which have attacked Mr.. Bennett
for the failure of the Jeanette expedition,
charging the responsibility upon his shout
ders, and criticising what was apparently an
Indifference on his part to the fate of De Long.
The Herald says, in reply to the Sun relative
to the provision for the wife and child of De
Long, that Mr.. Bennett had reflected on the
matter already some two years ago, and that
almost the last words uttered by the magnan-
imous commander of the Jeanette to Mr..
Bennett were a recognition that, in event of
possible misfortune to himself, which he fully
contemplated and knowingly encountered,
care would be taken of his wife and child.
Capt. De Long was we'll aware of
THE INGRATITUDE OF PRINCES,
and even of republics, but he knew that he
could rely on the fidelity of friend. He did
not depart depending only upon the possible
bounty of congress or of the public in the
contingency mentioned, and he was right, as
has been illustrated within two days by the
refusal Of congress, under the advice of the
secretary of the navy, to vote it's thanks to
Engineer Melville. with or without the ac-
ton of congress or of the public, care will be
taken of the widow and orphan of De Long,
and not of them alone, but of every widow
and every orphan of the men who sailed with
the Jeanette and have perished."

THE planters of Louisiana held a con-
vention at Baton Rouge recently, and
practically demonstrated their con-
fidence in the levee system by voting a
tax of one dollar bale on this seasons
crop for the purpose of rebuilding the
levees of that section. They also adopted
a memorial to Congress, in which strong
ground is taken as to the duty of the
government in giving protection to
the Lower Valley from the
floods that annually come down the Mis-
sissippi from the North. The memorial.
lists make no mention of the action of
the convention looking to the rebuilding
of the levees by resort to local taxation,
but content themselves with calling the
attention of Congress to the necessity OF
prompt action and duty of the Govern
ment in the premises; in the meantime,
however, not undertaking the import
ance of prompt local action regardless of
the final attitude of the federal authori-
ties.

DeptoraDle sanitary Condition

The experiment of placing the very important
matter Of sanitary inspection Of the city into the
charge OF inexperienced street commissioners, has,
as the GLOBE at first predicted, proved an AFFECT
failure inssmuch it has resulted In nothing what
having been done to rid the city of the various
sources of disease. man may be excellently
qualified to I'LL the Office Of street commissioner, and
know absolutely nothing relative to sanitary regua
tious; and that wDlsb found generally the case.
A practising physician is afforded much better
qualifications than any one else. Now the GLOBE
would hunoly suggest that the gentlemen Of the
council at the next regular meeting do away with
the present system, and try that proposed by the
board OF health, which to divide the city into
three sanitary districts, each two wards to constitute
district, and then appoint sanitary inspector for
each, they TO be under the direct control Of the
city health officer Health inspectors In order to be
successful, must needs have thorough, practical
understanding OF the duties they have to perform.
Any city in this climate which observes strict sani-
tary principles, is morally certain to
be healthfnl. Minneapolis is far from being
healthful. Its citizens dying like flies, and all
because of the great idea of running an economical
government Yet council, in all other respects,
have been very liberal. The various city officers
have been given good competent salaries. Round
sums of money have been judiciously and advan-
tageously expended in various needed improve
ments. But do not longer permit the disease breed
ing cesspools, the filthy back yards and alleys to be
passed by UNDECIDED.
