BETTER THAN NOTHING.

We are glad to be able to report that
the Mississippi River Commission has re-
considered its unjust decision to close no
crevasseB below the mouth of Red River,
and has appropriated $4,000 for that
purpose, with a proyiso that the amount
may he increased if the executive officers
under the Commissions direction deem
necessary.
While the sum granted is very small
in comparison with the needs IF the dis
trict be 1Eeen Red river and the Gulf
being just about sufficient to close the
Morganza creyasse-yet it is fifty thou
saud dollars better than nothing and is
thankfully received as little favor and
an evidence that the people of the ex-
IRENE lower valley are not to be entirely
deprived of participation in the benefits
contemplated by the liberal provision
made by Congress for the improvement
of the Mississippi.
We have every confidence that when
the members of the River Commission
ascertain how inadequate the State rev.
enues are to protect the territory of low
er Louisiana from inundation, they will
cheerfully add to the allowance already
conceded to assist this work.
