STATE NEWS ITEMS.


10 AreFeut OFeruoW or the Delta
j. r. Ivy, Of Scooba, Miss, makes the
following suggestions ON a subject Of
great importance that has not been agi-
tated much recently:
There are various theories as TO the
best method Of preventing the overflow Of
the Mississippi river over the Delta
.aDds, and controlling its water. After
large expenditures of public money IL is
generally admitted that the levee system
will never be a success 10 meet the de-
maEds and wishes Of the public. / be-
lieve il IS generally conceded that the
large volume Of water entering the river
needs an outlet. If this be true, il seemf
that q canal system is the most practical
way of solving the problem connecting
the system with some other river 10 aid
in conducting away the water, and IN
ever solved some such plan no doubt will
be adopted. At least, il seems TO be the
most reasonable. The same cause which
will produce an overflow in a ditch, will
affect large stream likewise
1t has been thor ght that an outlet
from the Mississippi river through the
Sabine would prevent on overflow Of the
WNHNNAh W-Atas~ VIC 10 luinh
that caaal from Memphis to intersect
the Bigbee at Columbus, Miss, or Demop-
oils, Ala, would be a more practical
way.
1--WE do not think II unpolitic for the
government 70 have survey made, and
a probable estimate Of the cost made, and
the feasibility of the plan; as the public
generally would be much interested in
such a scheme, and would approve Of any
practical plan which would meet the exi.
gency Of the case at n reasonable cost
and a surety Of success. Many benefits
might be derived from such a measure be-
sides the prevention Of overflow Of water.
1t would add to the commerce Of Men,
phis, foster new industries and enter
pTises in the course Of time, and at pres
ent give large employment 10 the unem-
ployed, and effect annual water transit
from Memphis to Mobile.
I'VE simply call attention 70 this sub
jcct in a public way with the hope some
more fOrcible and potential pen than ours
viii discuss the subject more fully, and
that some Of our congressman will agi- |
.aTe and investigate the same"

The difference between the
Republican party and the Peo-
pies party on the money question
as developed by Congressman
Eddy is very plain and simple
and ought to be understood by
the dullest of mortals.
The Republicans want a dollar
that will float around the world,
that can be exported without
loss or expense to any part of the
world by home and foreign CAPT
talists alike either to pay debt,
buy foreign goods, or for specu-
lative purposes anywhere. A
free trade dollar. The Peoples
party wants a dollar that will stay
at home and serve as a medium
of exchange buy American goods,
and insure the debtor something
with which to pay his debt. A
protection dollar that will guar
antee stability and security to
American labor and American
industry. A dollar that cannot
be exported without loss, and
hence will stay at home to do the
money function.
This is the vital difference, let
the dollar consist off gold, silver
or government notes. Thus, has
the Republican party become.the
real free trade party Of this
country, and the Peoples party
stands now as the true American
protection party.
A protection tariff without a
national money system to supply
the motive power Of industry is
like a steam plant with leaky
boilers, simply a useless thing te
cumber the ground. A corpse
without blood, rotting, decayine
and poisoning the atmosphere OF
national life. # production, en-
terprise and trade is stagnating
at home, it is idle to talk. about
our foreign business. It is nov
apparent that with James G.
Blaine died the last American
statesman in the Republican
party. 81. &. ...ss ]

the tl1p irmpre ssion that they have a
just cause IS complain Yet
when we reflect that the chief
object Of railroad management is
to earn dividends, and the public
accomod ation only secondary, we
presume the service is all that
can be reaso nably expected.
!. We think though before many
years the people are apt to de
mand a train service for public
convenience and general benefit.
Then you will see Uncle Sam put
at the helm, all the railroads of
the country united, and like in
the postal system, the. rates
equalized and averaged to such
a degree, that it would entirely
change the present method of
doing business. With rates of
of freight and passenger trafiff
fixed at cost, the volume of bust
ness done by all the roads would
Immediately double and treble.
This would lead to further re-
auctions of rates, and. still fur
ther increase Of traffic, until after
awhile the business would be so
enormous that the charges of
transportation Of passengers and
goods would only be nominal,
like the transportation Of mail
now. Then we might talk about
diversified farming, raising .po-
tatoes, etc. Then there would not
be millions of bushels of potatoes
rotting in the ground because it
does not pay to dig them while
