THE GREAT RIVER.
Several Practical Suggestions for the
improvement OF the Navigation Of
the Mississippi and the
Prevention OF OVerfiOWs that Could Ger
tainly Do No Harm, Even if They
Failed to Do Any Good.

To the EditoIs Of the Appeal
Independents in politics, eclectics in medi-
cine, and free-thinkers in theology are in
the minority. They are an unorganized
few, without much influence or power, yet
they are in fact generally honest searchers
after truth, and often find it, lying as it
generally does, somewhere between extremes.
So it seems to be in hydraulics as applied
to the Mississippi river. Unfortunately
there are levee men, outlet men, jetty and
cutoff men, each distinct school, and each
with large following. But few and l1ne-
some are the eclectics in river matters. Yet it
seems to me that any perfect system would
naturally embrace a modicum OF each OF
these systems, and that such an adjustment
would be natural, consistent and practicable
In former article | ventured to say that
the problem 10 be solved embraced two
things: G) Prevention of a maximum rise
of water level; ~ protection against 20
much of a rise as cannot be prevented. |
took the position that the prime factor OF
prevention would be increased

THE STAR REUTERS.
Testimony OF Charles II. French.

The argument on the questions was not
concluded until l.2O. Judge Wylie rendered
his decision admitting the petition as tending
to prove a conspiracy. but as not constituting
an overt act. An exception was taken by the
defence. After recess Charles H. French
was recalled. He stated that he received
letter from j. w. Dorsey & Co., or J. r.
Miner & Co., inclosing petition for an in
crease of service. The petition was in the
same handwriting as the letter. The witness
stated that he took the petition to his lawyer,
that the ink bottle was upset on it, and
the lawyer rewrote it. Witness then cir
culated the petition for signatures. When
the witness signed it it was not the same
as now appeared. Witness proceeded to
make statement of the amount of mail mat
ter carried by him between Kearney and
Kent, and the amount of compensation re-
ceived for the service. He also identified
large number of letters received by him from
Miner, as agent for the contractor, transmit
ting his quarterly drafts. The defense OBJ
jected at every step of the testimony and
secured numerous exceptions. Adjourned
