POLITICAL LIFE.

The Sioux City Tribune draws an affect
ing and at the same time true. picture of
the natural outcome of political ambition,
anent the late Governor of Iowa:
"There is something pathetic in the way
Governor Gear was sent home to Burling-
ton. With sort of mad ambition for
political power this man abandoned a
good business, which he was fitted and
equipped for the grocery trade, to enter
the hurry burly of politics Too late he
has learned the lesson of its ingTatitude
and empty honers. He has spent his pri-
vate fortune in vain endeavor TO become
United States Senator from Iowa, only to
find himself so weak before the Legislature
as to be compelled to withdraw before his
ambition was passed upon. His wife also
was infected with the same mania and in
heroic effort to wrest success, labored with
him to the last Sitting up late at night
to entertain politicians the bite of whose
ingratitude she now feels. snapped her
strength. She goes back to Burlington
wrecked in health and him in hope and
fortune. The very evening of the inaugu-
ration of his successor they hastily gath
cred together what was left to them and
departed; and no brass band followed
them to the depot; no multitude shouted
farewell"

Some unpatriotfc people who cannot

The New York Times gave faithful IL
lustratsen of this pilotage extortion by
suppesing the street car companies to be
protected" by the privilege of charging
each foot passenger that walked along the
street five cents, whether he wanted to
ride in the cars or not, yet this would be
no more unjust than many of the laws
made for the encouragement of native in
dustry.

lacking about for hours in aAead Wind, as
the sailboats werezsomelimes compelled to
ds.tlis steambo At could WALL right along
side and put d plat on board al once.
They were having lovely time, when their
wickedness m using steam was brought to
the notice Of the Pilot Commissioners, who
were so shocked thar they revoked the
license of those desperate men, and de-
prived them of their means of livelihood.
The commissioners believed in, the old pro,
tectionistsd doctrine that railroads ought to
be done away with Secause they injure the
business Of the stage coaches, and so they
did away with the steam pilot boat for the
protection of the lubberly7old craft whose
fashion had not changed for fifty years.
A few days ago committee of the New
York Chamber of Commerce examined
those Pilot Commissioners in the interest
of reform; bat with the exception of the
fees, which they admitted were rather high,
they declared the system to be perfect. To
abolish compulsory pilotage, they said,
would demoralize the pilot service, which
was no doubt true, just as the abolition of
a tax demoralizes the tax gatherer, although
the tax payer is not thereby demoralized
at all. Compulsory pilotage, they declar-
ed, was necessary to aprotect" the system.
"The attempt to abolish it, they said,
Originated with the large English steam
boat companies" which considering that
they have to pay the most ofit, is not very
wonderful. But to do them justice, we
must admit that those pilots are not actu-f
ated by any barrow feelings of nationality.
They exact, the compulsory tribute with
impartial rapacity from Englishman,
Frenchman, German, Russian, or Ameri-
can, free from all sectarian bias, and with
out regard to party oeoa State Leader.

A PROTECTED INDUSTRY.

We have lately had our attention called
TO that curious phase of the protective sys-
tenn presented by the pilot laws of New
York By virtue of those laws the pilots
of that city are permitted to levy tax and
tribute upon all the commerce that enters
New York Bay. 1t makes no difference
whether a ship wants pilot or not, she
must pay the pilots fees. 1t is a super
fiuous to add that these fees are extort-
tomato and unreasonable. They must be
SO, or they would not harmonic with
the protective system. New York
paper lately described the pilot laws as a
device for Furnishing all ships that dared
to enter the bay.

OUR RIVER.

The Mississippi river has too much wa
ter in it at some seasons of the year, and
the problem is how to confine it within its
limits.
The levee and jetty jobers say raise the
banks, while Cowdon says run the water
into the gulf SO fast, SO freely and at SO
many places that it can't overflow its banks.
Which plan is the more feasible, which
the cheaper? The former want only thirty
three millions, while Cowdon wants two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Shall we continue another hundred years
the impossible? Shall we change our insane
plan and merely permit the flood waters to
run into the gulf -Iust-a little sooner?
Why not a dozen food fnoutlsa. Make
the capacity for outflow greater than the
inflow and then there can be no overflow.
Planters and farmers draw off the water
ON the lower side of their farms first, and
why not treat the basin in the same way?
Gullies form by washing out on the lower
side of the incline first, then undermining
its upward way; even SO will it be with the
bottom of this great central gully and and
all its tributaries clear up to their first
shoals or rock bottoms.
Let'us try the outlets at Quincy

IS The above is the Herayd's opinion as to
what should be done with the surplus wa
ter. but if it would only stop long enough
to consider how seldom we have too much
water in the river and how frequently too
little, it would assume q different opinions
Make the capacity for outflow greater
than the actual inflow and then there can
be no overflow" is true beyond the shadow
of doubt, but as it often happens that six
feet of water in the channel
is the desideratum above all others the
question of inflow assumes paramount
Importance. When we can manage for a
steady inflow then viii be time to talk a
bout surplus water, but in the meantime
we will be contented with what we have.

ton officiating, and only the immediate rela
tives and friends of the high contracting par
ties being present AT s o'clock the spacious
house of the brides parents was thrown open
for the reception, which was largely attended
by their townspeople and friends from Bur.
lington, St. Adams and other places. The
wedding presents were both numerous and
costly, indicative of the high appreciation
and esteem in which both bride and groom
are held in this community. The newly
married couple very sensiby dispense with
the customary bridal trip and go at once tc
their future home in st. Johns, and Mr.
Harmon to his post Of duty as United
States officer. That their lives may be long
and happy is the sincere wish Of their many
friends
