DREDGING THE CHANNEL.
what n Prominent River Man Ha
TO Say AbOut IL.

TO Say About IL.
II see that Major Hams is advertising for
proposals for dredging the Washington
channel" remarked river man to TIE
CRITIC.
(which channel do you call the Wash
ington channel, the one on this side of the
flats or the one ON the other side?" was
asked.
"The one on this side, the channel be-
tween the whsrves and the flats. The other
ono is known as the Georgetown channel,
although it Is really opposite Washington.
The Georgetown channel has been receiv-
ing q great deal Of attention, though /
think it is labor lost, to some extent. /
have talked with some Of those engaged in
the work Of dredging and they have said
that tho sand would begin to drift in where
they had dredged almost as soon as they
had left 1t. One place they spoke of where
they had dredged to the depth of twenty
three feet, high water. They camo back to
the same place not long after, aud, by
George, when they sounded the depth was
only twenty feet, high water"
How about the Washington channel?"
"Well, that hasn't been dredged for two
years. Then it was announced that the
channel was 237 feet wide, with depth of
IA feet ut low water. The sides of the
channel have become so worn now, how
ever, that the depth at high water is no
more than that and the width Of the chan
mel is hardly enough for the large boats to
tuIn around in"
"What has caused this filling up?"
various causes Side-wheel steamers
have caused it in measure. The various
ice gorges bringing down piles of ice around
which the sand was gathered by the eddy
ing water helped to fill up also. think,
however, when the flats are filled up above
the Long Bridge as they contemplate, and
that when once the Washington channel is
properly dredged, 1t will not fill up"
why do you think so?'
Because the channel will then be a
slackwater pool. There will be no tides
or tddies. 1t will be without current
| The sand cannot be brought down from
above. However, must say that believe
| when the channel is closed up that it will
not be as healthy, for the water will be
more stagnant, and, with the sewers empty
ing into 1t, the water must become very
bad. Had the channel been left open .at
the west current would have carried away
this Objectionable water"
~ How much dredging is to be done on
n this channel?"
81 see by the advertisement one million
cubic yards. That will be considerable OF
a relief to navigation. 1t will be some
thing that the steamboat companies will be

possible that these recalcltrant laborers do
commune together in regard to their com
mon interests, but to talk about their be-
ing such monsters as those Of Paris is the
sheerest bosh. No sensible man swallows
such muck as that. They have right to
commune together about their mutual
welfare and TO vote as they please, and
calling them opprobrious names and break
ing their heads with hard words won't
make them vote for tho ex-Sherif any
the quicker. Yes, the Dem. Nat.
Com, Seven-Mule Barnum, or the
Dem. Jack. Ass. ought to issue

Sheriff moro every wook than the likes Of

The Evening critic., 1884-07-29

THIS campaign is not to be fought out
on mud-slinging basis. There are great
principles and for-reaching questions of
policy involved in this election that de-
mand the most intense reflection and con-
sderation upon the part of the electors. 1t
is illogical to demand the election Of Mr..
Blaine because Mr.. Cleveland is unworthy
and vice versa. But Mr.. Blaine was scarcely
named before the 1oodgates of Billingsgate
opened upon him, and the stream of filth
has flowed deep and wide ever since. Aud
all the charges of personal unworthiness on
the part of the Democratic nominee that
have been made thus far were originated by
the Democrats themselves in the desperate
struggle which preceded the nomination,
and they alone are responsible for them.
The CRITIC reiterates this latter state
ment because 1t should be constantly borne
in mind that tho Republicans are not re-
sponsible for the charges made against
Cleveland Of personal unworthiness. They
originated with Democrats, and Democrats
should father them forever.

TIE reported case of yellow fever there
and the reported case of cholera imported
through her port has aroused the city OF
New Orleans. The mayor proposes to open
the bydrants and use the street-cleaners
with diligence and dispatch.
The Evening critic., 1884-07-29

REPUBLIcANs should keep an eye on FL
Mahdi Butler. He Is shifty old GENTLE
man, and he may induce the ex-Sheriff to
decline in his favor, so that the Democracy
Greenbackers, Anti-Monopolists and all the
fag ends and factions unite on his Highness,
the Marquis Of Tewkesbury, and elevate
him to the throne of the Republic. Some
thing is brewing on the part of Benjamin,
and it will be just as well to keep an eye on
him from now on.

THEY are having difficulty in using the
telephone in Russia. When they get about
half way in long sentence of Russian jaw
breaking words the instruments go on
strike and refuse to work, unless they get
more pay or have shorter hours.
The Evening critic., 1884-07-29

The CRITIC learns that q self.consti-
tuted critic has been critic ising The
CRITIC because it constantly speaks of
Cleveland as ex-Sherifr. Is it possible that
anyone does not comprehend The Carries
reason for doing so? The CRITIC persists
in calling Cleveland ex-Sherif because In
that office he wds something of success,
while as Governor he is a failure, if we
are to believe the testimony of thousands
of Democrats. And as it would be no
credit to Mr.. Blaine or to the Republican
party to beat man who always failed ia
official positions, THE CRITIC tries to put
the people in remembrance, continually
that the ex-Sheriff did fill one position
with some little success. That that position
was an inferior one is not the CRITIc's
fault. 1t does the best it can with the ma
terial furnished by the official record, and
that is all the most enthusiastic admirer of
the Sheriff could do. THE CRITIC trusts
that this frank explanation of its course in
this matter will be sufficient to disarm hos
tile criticism in the future and that there
will be no more jarring as The CRITIC aud
its hosts Of readers jogs along to tho day
when the ex-Sherilf will retire forever from
the gaze of the American people.

the "riff raff." Maybe some of them don't
use much cologne, but they have votes;
and, beside, they must have some energy
and some aspirations to better themselves
and their condition, and to help their chill
dren, or they would never have Travelled
thousands Of miles to strange land, where
they can be something better than serfs
and paupers. Did the "riif-raf7' man ever
think Of that2

selves editors Of Democratic papers, tear
