Col. f. l.. Maxwell, who has the con-
tract for the enlargement levee work
at Blue Ridge and Ashton, was IN
Vicksburg last week aud be said that
The quarantine was interfering very
much with levee work In the Fifth
District, and we suppose he meant his
contracts in East Carroll. We hardly
think it is fair for Col. Maxwell to put
the blame on the quarantine situation
entirely, and we do not thiuk there Is
a member of the.levee board who will
think as the contractor does, for il is
we'll known fact that the Board lei
these contracts on the 18th of August,
and wheu the contracts we're signed 1t
was positively agreed that force
should be put on each piece Of work
by September 1st. As ii ia, the work
at Blue Ridge is short of teams and
there has not been q "turn made" on
the Ashton enlargement. The con-
tracts of Hon. Robt. Nicholson were
let at the same time, aud in six days
afterwards be had work commenced
on most of his contracts. Col. Max
we'll did not start bis work for nearly
thirty days afterwards for the reason,
II is said, be couldn't get sub to take
the work at his figure.
1t is true labor is scarce, but it can
not be laid on the quarantine The
cotton patch lie the place where they
are at, aud where they will stay until
the cotton is ont of the field.
We are now in the middle of Octo-
her, aud we will again have a high
water on us aud these levees not
slrengthed, because the contractor did
not have force Of teams ready, and
depended on sub-lettiug it WHOM be
bid in the work. Later the quarantine
interfered with his levce building, but
he should have started bis work on
contract time; and II he had, there
would not now be any trouble.

A Patriotic Suggestfon.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The time has come when every patriotic
American citizen should stand shoulder to
shoulder and show his loyalty in proffering
his services to his country and unfolding
the stars and stripes.
Especially should this apply to every gov
eminent employe In Washington Every
able-bodied man in the government depart
ments should enlist as a reserve guard for
the city. guard of many thousands could
easily be organized among the various de-
pslrtments, and the organization and drill
OF the companies could be effected after
office hours, and necessarily need not in
terfere with daily routine work These
companies may be Differed by old soldiers.
who would be more than glad to tender
their services. The drill could take place
Immediately after o'clock pm, or later
in the evening, would be most suitable
and convenient. The exercise Would ma
| terially benefit the clerks. Each depart
ment would in this way have fits own
guard, and should the time come to defend
the city and the government property. the
men would have a knowledge of how to
work together and obey orders. III the
various departments were SO organized,
with a series Of signals these large forces
could be concentrated at a few moments
notice.
Too much precaution cannot be taken in
making preparations TO guard the govern
ments property at the nations capital dur
ing the crisis now pending While IL il n
known fact that President Mckinley Will
station many troops in and surrounding the
city, this arrangement would not be inter-
fered with in the least by the reserve
guards. but would be quickly recognised
as a body of important strength to the
regularly stationed forces of protection

age, and those who oppose the adoption of
the improvements. The election is set for
May 2.
During the past week efforts have been
made to organize light battery of artil-

As to Cowboy Regiments.
e Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS the governors of several of the far
western states and territories have offered
to the government several regiments Of
cowboys to fight the Spaniards, why not
accept them and let them take the places
of the regular troops which have been
taken away from the Indian reservations
The writer has been good deal among
the Indians and knows that they are not
tain General Weyler's stamp.
The agents of Spain will soon be in the
Indian country, and IL their deviltry is not
checkmated we may have as great a war
