The greatest of puzzles to North

fusion of Democrats and Republicans

Entering the mouth of Red River
at an ordinary stage of water in the
Mississippi, one is astonished to find
the current setting in strong from
the greater stream, and the water
flowing up the tributary instead of
down. This is explained after the
steamer has proceeded about six miles
on her course and the mouth of the
Atchafalaga is reached, for there the
waters of the Mississippi and Red
River both pour into its channel, hur-
rying to the sea at a point far West
of New Orleans. The specification
of the mouth of Red river" is one of
the great problems that the Missis-
sippi River Commission is called upon
to solve, and unfortunately its solu-
ton is not left to the arts Of science
alone, for while thousands of landed
proprietors and steam boatmen de-
mand that the wandering tides be
driven back to their old haunts, there
are perhaps as many more who re-
joice in the change and insist upon
its maintainence, regardless Of the
risk of the Mississippi in the course
of time abandoning its bed to share
with Red River its newly found outlet.

SAM RANDALL though always vot-
ing against the "River and H-rbor
Bill" has always given its friends fair
representation on the Committee OF
Commerce that frames and reports it;
and TO a Committee appointed by
Sam Randall, we must remember is
attributable the favorable report to
the House Of the bill creating the
Mississippi River Commission, and
the bill giving it its first appropria-
ton.
1t must also be borne in mind that
Randall has always favored generous
appropriations for the improvement
Of the Mississippi river.

will be a candidate again in 1884 for
Governor of Massachusetts: We
are glad to hear this, for it will re-
quire the Republicans of the Bay

Nicksburg and Nagchez have the
same claims upon the skill OF the
Federal Engineers and the funds in
the Federal Treasury, for the improve
ment of their harbors, as New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans
or San Francisco. The fact that these
important inland ports are located
on great river instead of on the
margin of lake or sea, does not mill
tate in the slightest degree against
their claims or the responsibility of
the general Government: If it is
right to tunnel and blow up the rocks
at He'll Gate; if it is right to build
the Delaware break-water; if it is
right to turn the waters of the Ohio
in the interest of Evansville, it is
right and proper to invest public
money LIBERAL -not lavishly-for
the rectifcation of the channel in
front of the cities of Vicksburg and
Natchez, and to save to those cities,
if science can accomplish the feat at
reasonable cost, the advantage that
they have so long enjoyed of easy
access to the river. If the landing
and wharves that have served them
so many years so well, can be saved,
so much the better-if not, then every
effort should be made to bring the
river as near to the old landing places
as possible. Let the Government act
as fairly and generously towards our
people as they have always manifest
ed readiness to act towards their
fellow countrymen of the ports on
the shores of the lakes and the seas.
