dollar which is In demand everywhere

There was, In fact, no common
ground upon which the conferring par.
ties could meet, Not half dozen Of
the foreign delegates came here with
any faith in the result. Not a single
one went away believing that the small
est good had been accomplished No
improvement has been effected in our
trade relations with neighboring coun-
tries. No edifice has been raised from
which such improvement can be seen
aiar of. We occupy exactly the same
relation toward the other American re-
publics that we occupied before the
conference assembled except in the two
unimpOrtant and subordinate respects
already mentioned, And, speaking Of
them, 1t seems quite safe to predict that
the arbitration plan, even if 1t be finally
ratified, will never come to anything In
practice, and the railroad. even If It be
finally constructed, will carry little, If
anything, save tourists and mail matter.
FACTS ABOUT THE BIG RIVER.
1t IS only under certain conditions
that the sediment borne by the Missis-
sippi River is deposited and made to
raise the bed of the stream. Whenever
the current is checked by any cause,
natural or artificial, this consequence
ensues. Experiment aud investigation
show, without exception, that crevasses
or outlets are among these causes,
and that great variations in the
width of the channel also pro-
duce the results in question.
But there is an emphatically unanimous
concurrence Of intelligent and informed
opinion to the effect that, where the
water is confined within stable banks
to channel of approximately uniform
width, no sediment at all Is deposited,
but, on the contrary, the bed of the
river is constantly and steadily lowered
by the securing process.
Any one VINO has passed out through
the ietties at the mouth of the Missi-
ssippi, going south or southwest, must
have been struck by the spectacle Of
the dark yellow, muddy water cover
ing The bosom of the gulf to a distance
of one hundred miles and more. This
is the sediment. laden torrent from the
river thrown out on the surface by the
force of the discharge from the ietties,
and carried away on the littoral current
which, at the point where it touches
the mouth of the Mississippi, bears to
the southwest with considerable veloc-
ity.
This is the current which Captain
Eads always claimed would prevent the
projection of the alluvial formation into
the gulf, aud time and circumstance
have proven him wise and true
prophet. The current of the river has,
through confinement between the ietty
walls, become powerful enough to scour
out channel more than thirty feet in
depth and of absolute and unchanging
permanency.
The same principle applied to the
rest of the river would operate in the
same way. When the river had three
or four mouths it had no sufficient out
let. All were shallow, dangerous and
inefficient. Now that It virtually has
but one, that one is deep and safe, and
with a larger capacity for discharge
than all the old ones put together
