The Needs ef the nlsstss ppi u "a the
Duty Of Congress Forcib'y Dis
cussrd.
Prof. Warehouse, of Washington, has
been studying the Mississippi and its
navigation and thinks the government
greatly at fault in allowing our great
waterway to remain 10 The present de
plorable condition. He says:
Il found the upper river in condition
discreditable to the government of the
United States. On the way 10 St Paul
and back, 50 hours were spent on sand
bars. The various detentions arising
from low water protrsc'ed the round
trip nine days beyond the schedule time
There was sufficient flow of water for
unoos'ructtd navigation, if it had only
been restricted 10 a narrow Channel. On
the upper river the wing dams
| are numerous and effective Indeed,
without them the shsllows would be
wholly impossible. But there are still
scores Of shoals which the government
has neglected to remove At only few
places were forces of men at WORK upon
the improvement of the channel The
example of France 10 providing facilities
Tor commercial intercourse affords an in
structIve lesson to the U0ited States In
france, from the days of the great Vau-
Dan. an al, q1ate expenditure of public
wealth has FASTENED to completion every
work that promoted the tional interest.
But In this country false system delays
the usefulness and Increases the cost of
public improvements In consequence
OF the irregularity and insuficiency of
the congressional appropriations. works
commenced by the government some>
times fall into partial decay before they
can be finished. Our present impolicy
renders the upper Mississippi almost I'M
navigsble at low stages of water, deprives
our great waterway of its vast usefulness
as means of transportation and as a
regulator of rsilrosd freights, and debars
the'cities on its banks from the prosper
ity which a furnishing river trade would
create. A craftsmanship broad as the
interests of our country and needless of
mistaken conceptions of public economy
ought 10 make regular and adequlte pro.
vision for deepening the channel of the
Mississippi river.
Arguments such as this strengthen the
future. and the movement started nj this
city to hold it here is very R. ropos of
such move

the physicians having received
their diplomas from the best

!Drar atic DATA

Two companies have held the boards
at the Metropolitan opera house the past
week, and in each instance the play and
the players have been meritoriouS. A.
S. Lipman opened the week In 'By
Proxy" and while the patronage was
not all that could be wished for. or that
might have been expected, those who
did attend were well repaid. While
Llpman has been seen in parts that
were more in keeping with his abilities,
still, by Proxy" is very evenly bal
anced production, and has enough merit
from the comedy standpoint to make it
a good card for an evenings entertain
ment. "The Gray Mare" filled TIE last
half of the week. 1t is sparkling and a
care killer in every scene and Incident,
almost in every line. Extra clever peo-
pie are not needed to develop the merits
OF the piece. as the enjoyment naturally
crops out of its own accord. "a Bed OF
Roses" is used by the company as a
curtain raiser, and with success
Gus Williams has been the attraction
at The Grand all week, and has drawn
good houses. "Apri4 Fool" can hardly
he termed play. There Is plenty of
comedy work throughout, many tastful
speciaties and but little acting, there
being no ground on which to build any.
Williams has lost none of his clever
ness, and his company is fairly good.

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

In magniicence of mountings and correct.
ness of costumes and accessories, "Fonte
nelle," James O'Nellfs new play, is said to
excel all previous productions of this kind
The story of the play deals with events in the
times of Louis XIV, when France was &c the
zenith of richness and power and depicts
the chivalry, passions and intrigues of those
famous times The company supporting Mr..
ONeill is said to be the most capable he has
ever had. "Fontenelle'' viii be given at the
Metropolitan opera house for the entire
week, beginning Sunday Dec. IL, and prom
iSeS to be one of the most notable events of
the present dramatic season.
Across the Potomac which will soon be
seen in this CITY, comes with warm indorse-
ments from prominent personages who have
seen it i'll action. At the same tine the
opinions of eminent citizens are generally
more kindly than they are critical Its au
thors are Messrs. Augustus Pitou and Ed
