An Engineer Insists That the Ocean Is

Overwhelming the Lower Mississippi.
NEW ORLEANS oct iG.-MaJor Quinn,
United States engineer in charge Of the
lighthouses Of the district, returned from
Port Eads and the jetties to-day. lie in
sists. after a most careful examination,
that the lower delta and the sea marshes
along the Gulf OF Mexico are surely sink
ing For about year experiments with
tide gauges have been IN progress at the
mouth of the Mississippi river having
for their object an accurate comparison
of Gulf levels during different periods.
As result Major Quinn has reached
the conclusion that the level OF the Gulf
has raised one foot since 1871. This, Ma
ior Quinn attributed TO a gradual, though
regular, subsistence along the coast anu,
as he believes, throughout the Missis-
sippi delta, embracing New Orleans and
the southern portion Of Louisiana The
records of varying Gulf levels show that
this subsistence has been checked aud
even reversed at times, but that, in the
long run. the gains made by the Gulf
indicate a steady encroachment High

sediment from the river channel arc

but wholly inadequate as prescribing
tests for what will serve the purposes
OF a circulating medium OF exchange.
The birth OF currency In battle ana

in the smallest degree TO make people

bring the gold they will ignore its place
OF birth and overlook its ugly stains
But Il is undoubtedly true that
very large body of uniformed people
look upon the greenbacks as sort OF
fetish and either because they sup
pose them to be "battle-born and blood
stained" or. for some other equally FOOL
!sh reason. they insist that the Gov
crnmont shall not cancel them and cease
Issuing any more.
Il IS altogether probable that these
people viii! be- able TO defeat any legis-
latlon at the coming session OF Con-
sress that proposes to take these notes
IN and cancel them.
This has got to be done before we begin
to secure that prosperity which Is our

Is 1t Really True9

How much did Grover Cleveland
make in the last bond deal?" is a uues-
ton being openly asked all around the
country. and with an emphasis that
will admit of no doubt in the minds of
those asking the question as to their
belief that the president of the United
States actually shared in the profits
or the syndicate who took the bonds
and in few days resold them again
at gain of over eighty millions of
dollars. Whether Grover Cleveland
had any share in this deal or not NAV
never be known, but the circumstances
attending the negotiations of the sale.
the secrecy attending it, the parties at
interest, and the fact that the small
premium obtained is less than munich
pal bonds often command, together with
their immediate sale at very much
higher premium, can have no other
effect than to leave the suspicion in
the minds of many people that even
Grover Cleveland was unable to resist
temptation.
1t is not enough to say that partisan
ism or political prejudice prompts this
suspicion. The president of the United
States should be above suspicion, but
Grover Cleveland-unfortun
not. The characteristics of the man
are against him. Dame Rumor has
busted herself more about this mans
private character, his social life, his
habits and inner life, than any man
that has ever filled the presidential
chair, and if one-half the stories afioat
told sub rosa-are true, then is he
fully capable of sharing in the profits
of that bond deal.

Rothschilds desire to have them issued.
AS for Mr.. Carlisle, it does not matter

position evinced in many quarters to
treat the abandonment last week by
the silver senators of Senator Jones
free coinage bill and of Senator VOL
colts free silver resolution as a proof
of the weakness of the cause of silver
IN congress. On the contrary, the pre-
liminary votes taken on Senator Jones
bill very clearly showed that a major
lty of the senate were favorable to it..
That they refrained from forcing it
through at once demonstrates no more
than that they were not willing to risk
the delay of the appropriation bills and
a consequent extra session. After the
4th of March they will be still stronger
in numbers and nobody can say with
certainty that a majority of the new
house of representatives will not join
with them in legislating for free silver.
II so, there will stand between the coun-
try and free silver coinage act, moth
ing but President Cleveland's veto.

ing the work of organization. On the
strength of that pledge General Van
Dervoort has gone to some expense to
prepare for the campaign of 1896, and
as matter of course is in some need
of funds. We hope the Reform Press
every where will take this matter in
hands and raise funds to push the work
of organization. Money cannot be ap-
piled to better purpose. Let every
reform paper start subscription fund

take up the cry in its own county.

pact organization, such as the Legion
presents, we will be able to make an
effective fight, and with reasonable
chances for success. Without organi-
zation we can hope TO do nothing. Let
