COST INEFFJCIENCY

No branch of the city government has
suffered more from bad administration than
the Dock Department. Organized under
Tweed, it has never wholly got rid Of the incu-
bus of bis methods. 1t has been largely nsed
to aid politicians and scheming contractors.
Mayor Grace appointed a majority of the
present Board, and it is not surprising to find
that it is no Improvement on its predecessors.
President Coleman. who has excellent means of
getting at the facts, has denounced its admin
istratiOn as extravagant and inefficient. AL
though Mayor Grace was present in the Board
of Estimate when Mr.. Coleman made these
remarks, the Mayor had not word TO say in
defence of his appointees. Indeed, only the
day before he voted, as member of the Sink
ing Fund Commission, IN disapprOval of the
action of the Dock Department in an important
matter.
The Dock Board in purchasing the rights of
private owners to collect wharfage, ETC., pro-
poses to pay them for land under water, the
Use of which was granted by the city. The
Corporation Counsel holds that this is a revOc-
able privilege, and that for the city to pay for
1t would be purchasing its own property. He
estimates that such action by the Dock Board
would cost the city $50, 0O0, 900. Whether he
is right about the matter or not, as long as it
is in litigation. awaiting decision in the higher
courts, 1t is evidently improper for the Dock
Board to disregard the advice of the Corpora
ton Counsel, and to prejudice his case In the
courts by paying for this land under water
But that is precisely what it proposed to do,
and what it was only stopped from doing by
the action of the Sinking Fund Commission.

At the same time, 1t 10 to be hoped that some
means will he found of promptly settling this
vexed question, and of recognizing the Dock
Department SO that the work of improving the
waterfront Gao be prosecuted with more zeal.
1t is shameful that the wafer front of this great
commercial city should be kept in such a state
that Commerce is being driven elsewhere. 1t

Progress.

Progress is not attainable by any conf
,nunity doing business on credit. You
can take any of the swamp country towns
and examine them carefully, go away,
stay five years, come back, and re-exam-
inc them, and there has been no change.
Some new people may be there, some have
died, but the town is just as it was five
years before, or worse, generally worse.
This is caused principally by the credit
system, and raising cotton, which is a
corollary of the credit system. To get ad
vances you have to raise cotton. Were
you your own master you could raise
what you pleased, were your neighbors
their own masters they could do the same.
As it is, you have got to raise cotton to
get money to carry you through the year,
and under such conditions, progress is I'M
possible. A western-town will grow more
in six months than cotton country town
will in six years. Credit kills all enter
prise, credit binds you hand and foot, Gre
dit transforms man into a slave. Shake
it otf-go hungry for year, live on corn
meal and water, ard save enough money
to carry you through one year and you are
free.-TMadison Times.

property Will some railroad tax
gentleman please step up and point
out where is "the immense amount of
money emigration" has brought here !
And we have had that railroad and
another one for several years, without
the tax. Just look for one moment at
what our condition now would be if
the people OF this Parish had listened
at the siren song then being sung and
we were now paying the immense debt
then asked for and worked for, talked
for, argued for and almost fought for
by some of the same sanguine railroad
tax men who are now so earnestly urg-
ing this 5-mill tax.
Some four or five years ago the pco-
pie of this town voted tax to buy
steam engine which was to cost as l
remember somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. That was all right
and was home matter and was good
investment. My purpose in alluding
to the subject is simply to call atten-
ton to the fact that because of having
to fight high water it was only
the other day that the last of that debt
was paid. If we found it difficult to
pay this small sum for so worthy a
purpose as that splendid engine to
protect our property, we can form some
idea of what this proposed tax is, when
| it is in substance proposed to give
enough every year for ten years to buy
and pay cash for a new steam engine
each year-ten engines for cash; and
if the takers are right as to doubling
the value of property in town, then the
amount realized from the tax would be
doubled and we could for that tax buy
and pay for two engines per year, and
this is proposed when we have had
trouble in paying for one in several
years. Of course we do not need any
more engines, and to prevent some
damphool from saying that am talk
ing about buying any more, l must
say that l use that tax solely as an il
lustration of how difficult it will be to
pay the tax proposed.
There are other considerations con-
corning which may have something to
saynext week.
Respectfully,
RoBT. P. HUNTER.

Confederate Monument at Baton Rouge

The laying Of the corner stone of
the Confederate Monument. at Baton
Rouge on Wasbington's birth day, at
tracted quite crowd. B. F. Jonas
was the orator for the occasion, and
in closing paid the following beauti-
full tribute to those of the confederacy
who have passed away:
In memory, I see again these regi-
ments and battalions starting for the
front, with music and banners and all
the panoply of war, and memory brings
back to me, end to all of you, the rec
objection of loved faces and brave
hearts of many who were marching in
the ranks, and who are absent from
our gathering to-day, who will respond
to life's roll call no more forever
who are memories now. Of those
whom to-day we honor, we cannot
strew flowers upon their scattered
graves; we caunot mark their un-
known resting places with stone or
monument; we cannot gather their
earthly spoil into beautiful mausole-
ums, or cities of the dead, but we erect
this monument in their honor, that all
people in all times TO come may know
that the soldiers who died for the Con-
federate cause are not without love
and honor and reverence in the land
which game them birth:
Crest on, embalmed and sainted dead,-
Dear as the blood We gave,
No impious footstep here shall tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone,
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath flown,
The story how We fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters
blight,
Nor Times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray Of glory's light,
That gilds your deatbless tomb"

The Physicians Have Found Out

That communicating and foreign ele-

This settles upon the sensitive sub-cu-

ligiments of the joints, causing con-

ting as a calcerous, chalky deposit
which produces stiffness and distortion
of the joints. No fact, which expert
enoe has demonstrated in regard to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has stron-
ger evidence to support than this, viz :
that this medicine of comprehensive
