Railroads aua the River.


New Orleans Times Democrat: "The report
Of the committee appointed to prepare an
address TO the railroads not antagouizing
river improvement shows some of the many
reasons why they should, as Che River I'm
provement CJmmittee suggests, lend their
assistance to secure a large appropriation
for the river. The old idea that the two
interests, the river and the railroads, are op-
posed 10 each other, and should, there ore,
be hostile, Is absurd, and without the eight
est foundation. To the Southern and West
ern roads the river is a great benefit, and
should be regarded in the light OF a con-
uecling line. The Mis- ouri Pacific and
dozen other companies bring grain 10 ST.
Louis, to be sent thence by bsrges to New
Orleans; and much of this grain ia again
distributed from here through the South by
the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois
Central. A dozen lines, therefore, secure an
increase in business by this development Of
The river route. Ii Is doubled by none, we
believe, that the improvement of the lower
Mississippi and the construction Of the jet
ties have been Of immense benefit
to the Southwestern railroads. They
acknowledge this themselves by ex-
tending their lines to New Orleans, whence
they can ship the products they bring here,
and receive in return the productions of
Latin America The improvement of the
river up 10 St. Louis will be equally beue-
fetal. 1t will form a cheap trunk line, with
which all the railroads running latitudinally
to it will connect, and it will bring all these
companies an increase OF business All the
lines ives, Of the Mississippi would be benz
flied and m any east of il, and the only ones
that would suffer would be the great Ess'ern
trunk lines, ike the New York Central, Erie,
Pennsy lvania Central and Baltimore and
Ohio. We see no reason, therefore, why the
railroads cannot, s The committee snggesi,
give their great assistance to the present
movement TO cure on improvement of the
Mississippi. Thty are equally interested
with II e q ire LEY in il. Win t-ver i'm
proves aud DIVE ops The Wiley, wbaever in-
ere - it's population and produciIou-and
The improvement OF the river, the increase of
It's navigation and the protection OF its cot
ton lanes from ovei q W, would undoubtedly
accomplish all ;his-woUd Certainly benefit
the roads situated 10 il and increase their
traffic.

ST. LOUIS river men are uneasy about the
June rise. Perhaps they are right, at least
ss the prospect of damage applies to the
Missouri and the vicinity of St. Louis, but if
1t don't hurry along dowa the present high
water may be gone down 10 a sufficient stage
to receive all that's said to be coming, with
out doing any material damage below.
The following paragraph from the Louis
vile Courier Journal! indicates that the trou-
bles in the O.-Line combination at Cincinna a ii

'monkeying,' things have been lively in river
circles at Porkopolis. Now the monkeys
dead, the organs busted, and the wild Bill'

V. K. STEVENSON claims to own the VIII arr
at Chattanooga, out was epj 1ined from COL
! lecIing,w harfsge by the city authorities. Last
Tuesday he lied bill of injunction against
| the oity's interference, and setting forth his
| claims TO the wharf He alleges 10 the bill
| that he has owned the wharf since Nav 10,
l 1913; that Market, Broad and Chestnut
streets never extended 10 the waters edge
that he has held possession of the property
for many years and at various times expended
large amounts on it in improvements; that
he has collected wharfage for years and paid
itaxes. May Is, 1888, the mayor and alder
men passed an ordinance making it misds-
meanor to collect wharfage, and declaring
| thst The streets extended to the waters edge
Since then, through fesr of violating law
the COLLECTION of wharfage has ceased. The
| streets were never condemned through the
| property, and the attempt by the city 10 take
possession OF them is violation OF the con
stitution of the State, Of the United States anc
| of the charter OF the city.

TEE PHANTOM SHIP.

We stood on the hsunted island,
We stood BIZ the haunted bays
The stars were all over the skyiaad,
But the moon had loitered away.
The lights of fisher boats gliHnrnered,
The beacon elowed steady ana feo,
The calm sea Jelly shimmered
Like the eye of one who Is dead
Then. all alone on the ocean,
The GHOST of the island came
Tho oboa. of a vessel in motion,
The ghost of a vessel OF nane'
Il sbone with vaporous brightness
A ol.,nour of trrrpulous rays;
II was not fire. but the Whitehes
OF a ghost of persisted blaze.
We watched It With all our vision,
We watched il doubtibg ana oun.
We had heard of the thing WIZ de1isioi4'
Bot we surely beheid It come.
We saw it alide DER the water,
A phantom of pallid hre;
We saw il Tumble and totter
To ru;n. and then fash higher.
AGAIN and again TO leeward
3 It's phastly rigging flew DER;
At last. far away TO seward,
It fOuudered and rose no more.
We he'd watched il with I'll our visl9n,
We had watched It with eve . ara ei''Ss
And gone were doubt and deris'on,
For surely We SAW 1T pass.
Through many winter ard summer
AS the sons of the island know,
The CLEAN OF this phos'ly conner
=. Has prophesied storm and woe.
This ghost of a great three-master
Which went in the days OF yore
To fell and fiery disaster
Right off the Block Island shore.
