happen to grant the former little
more in its bill it should certainly
cause little wonder. The people
of France do not growl because its
harbor money is spent on the mar
itime provinces instead of in the
mountains; and the members from
the Green Hills, White Mountains
and Rockies have little reason to
complain because the Mississippi
is granted . liberal appropriation.
We say II the country should do
this. As q matter of fact, it never
docs. The South never gets more
than its share-never even gets
that. The political influence and
strength of certain States prevents
this, and New York, because of ITS
large representation in Congress,
always gets a handsome appropri-
alton.
We utterly repudiate this doc
tine of making appropriations for
rivers and harbors on the basis of
the amount of taxes contributed
by the States. A far wiser system
would be to apportion tin proper
tion to the miles of navigable
stream, water area or coast line.
Under such an anapportionment Lou
isiana would get the largest sum of
any in the Union. We will not
press this measure, however, but
again insist that this tax PROPOSE
ton be dropped. Our rivers and
harbors should be improved as the
people and the necessities of the
country demand, and in no other
way.-T.-D.

The Atehafalaya Problem.

The report Of the Grand Jury ot the
parish Of st. Mary, Of which q syuopsis
was published In the telesraphic columns
of Thursdays Picayune, is Of especsal
value for its observations on the Atcha-
laya problem. This body is emphatical-
ly representative Of the best elements OF
the Grand Lake basin, the region which
suffers most Immediately and most seri-
ously from the floods. The individual
gentlemen composing it are directly in
terested in the prosperity Of their State,
their section, and their neighbers, and
have devoted both time and seal to the
study Of the peculiar conditions Of lacus.
trine Louisiana for many years. They
have had before them the views Of dis
tingnished engineers of diverse opinions,
and their own judgment is the result of
a careful weighing of the various theo-
ries and examinations of the multitude OF
experiments aud experience bearing on
the problem.
Consequently 1t is thoroughly rele-
vent judgment which they enounce, and
not merely the obiier dieta of opiuionated
persons such rs those who are well known
chronic defenders Of certain pet schemes
whose failure IL put in practice could
work those defenders no harm either Pc
cuniary or personal. They are entitled
to at least as respectful hearing as dis
tinguished engineers who are devoid Of
any true and living interest In the ques-
ton under consideration.
The salient points of the situation are
these: 1. The people Of the Grand Lake
basin declare the speedy solution Of the
Atchafalaya problem Of the most vital
importance to themselves. 2. They point
to the significant fact that the six miles
Of Old River between the head Of tho
Atchafalaya and the Mississippi, throuSh
which the Mississippi is mid TO b cutting
Its way, Is the very place where The Red
River boats ground, and where he con-
tinual services Of dredgc boats ars Seoul-s
red to keep the channel open, and where
deposits are continually being made,
and where the river II let alone would
nnally close itself; 3. The closure Of The.
Atchafalaya would Be to them . Rraye
disaster, and they do mot de-
sire It It al; 4 And thcy earnestly say, ssIn

The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1885-02-27

In concluding his report to the Presi-
dent of the United States, relative to the
affairs Of the Exposition, Director Gen.
eral Burke adopts the suggestion of the
States made son,e time ago that the Ex-
position be continued for another year.
The nasgnitads and the vast interest Of
the enterprise are too great for 30 brief an
opening as Is now left, caused by una
voidable delays and fortuitous circam-
stances beyond control. The world
should see our Exposition when it has
reached the highest point Of its grandeur
and magnif1cence. That cannot be done
in the three months now remaining.
Hence the re-opening Of the Exposition
In October or November next Will be =
wise and popular movement. The Dr.
rector General says: $50 much Of the
time designed for the Expedition has
elapscd. and It being evident that the
people Of the United States and foreign
countries viii not be afforded sufficient
opportunity within the tipas now desis-
mated for the closing to experience The
full benefits Of collections 20 vast In quail
ity and variety, We respectfully submit,
with our earnest approval, the recom-
that authority be given to re-
open and continue the Exposition fur
period to be fixed by Congress. ~. o.
