Improving the Mississippi.

A broad view of the subject of river
and harbor Improvement was taken by
the waterways convention held this
week at Memphis. All that the gov
ernment has done in this direction was
approved and pronounced of advant-
age to the whole people. The money
thus spent is viewed as a most profit
able investment. 1t was also resolved
thta the time has come for the general
government to go into this business
more extensively and with greater sys-
TEN. The convention recommended
the establishment of a new Cabinet
department devoted to commerce and
industries; exclusive government con-
troll of the levee system of the Lower
Mississippi and the permanent i'm
provement of the entire river; the use
of portable steel jetties; the improve
ment of Southwest Pass for ships of
the largest tonnage; continuous ap-
preparations for the Upper Missis-
slppi; a waterway of the greatest
utility between Lake Michigan and
the Mississippi; an isuhmian ship
canal and suitable appropriations for
the small rivers and harbors. The
convention was large, intelligent and
spirited gathering and its delibera-
tions were marked by an appreciation
of the general welfare as well as by
a true insight into the future develop
ment of the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries.
Ship canals, like those projected
through Nicaragua and at Panama
appeal strongly to the public mind
and justly. The people of the United
States would willingly consent to
spend $3.50, 100000 on the Nicaraguan
route il assured of its certain practi-
cal success as a ship channel. But the
improvement of the Mississippi on
anything like the same scale has not
excited equal attention or been re-
ceived with the same sentiment. Yet
the Mississippi Is a continental water
way through the heart of the country
and unquestionably it is a large part
OF the great trunk ship channel that
will eventually reach from the Gulf of
Mexico to the lakes, and thence to the
Northern Atlantic seaboard. Such a
waterway, when completed, will be the
marvel OF the world, not only for its
length and the richness of the region
through which 1t passes, but for a
tide of commerce vaster than any pre-
vlously known. Hitherto the improve
ment of the Mississippi has been
piecemeal. The government has paid
but one-third of the SAT ,631 ,503 spent
on the levees Of the Lower Mississippi
All the rest is due to state, local and
private enterprise. Congress should
broaden out in regard 10 the Missis-
sippi river. II is national and not a
sectional subject.
A ship drawing IA feet can now pass
from the Atlantic 20 the head of Lake
Superior, but 1t is not a comfortable
reflection that this can only be done
through the Canadian canal system.

Dewey is a good warrior, but he has
a new and unexpected enemy now in
public sentiment for having presented
his gift-home to his new and wealthy
wife, and she in turn to his son. The
whole proceeding seems to have been
uncalled for, and the shifting of his
house was a thoughtless mistake on
Dewey's part. Well wager that he
won't do the like again.

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
La your issue of June 3 appears
where you ask the candidate how he
stands on the road question. The
people of the county want the public
reads to be given out 10y contract to
he lowest bidder, by the year, as
done in many counties in some of the
Northern States. The candidate who
would advocate this is the one who
would win, but not by making a poor
man pay two dollars poll tax and
then work public roads for nothing.
If the public roads would be worked
in this manner their general condi-
lion would be vastly improved. This
Is supposed to be a free country, but
Is like slavery or like in the European
counties where citizens serve IN the
army FIVE years, only the difference Is
the public road worker must serve ,
term almost for life. If this keeps
Gu we'll all join the Philippine army
and fight for free government.

Taxes are higher in Mississippi
than they have been since AniPs
and the hated carpetbag regime;
they are higher than the taxes OF
any other Southern State: there
is no public improvement to show
for it. On the contrary, the old
capitol is dangerous and leaks
even to the ground floor. And
yet the taxpayers are asked by
the Governor to vindicate the
Governor by sending him to the
United States Senate for SIX years
where he would draw salary of
$50, ,000.-New Orleans Picayune,

That Mississippi City Mass Meeting.

AS an interested spectator OF this
'sremarkahle" gathering | think the
people of this State ought to know
something of the methods pursued BY
a cllq"e of elaquers. From Biloxi,
July g, 1899, about two hundred of
them came On train chartered by
special advocate of Gov. McLaurin's 5
candidacy-incidentallv they yelled
themselves hoarse for Mr.. Noland as
lieutenant governor. There Is good
, reason to believe this gentleman was
heaytily ashamed of his company.
4 large number of these men were
not qualified voters, many not even
naturalized citizens Of the United
States. Finding themselves in the
majority they elected chairman
whose citizenship in our State IS Sc
| riously questioned. As expected he
ruled that all white men present
should vote. Against earnest pro-
test BY those who desired to uphold
the integrity Of the ballot, these dis
qualified persons ruled the meeting,
voted resolutions, Iaudatory Of the
remarkable" Governor; endorsed
T.N. NolaUd for lieutenant governor;
and so on down the full list Of State
and District offices. Soon as this
"mess" meeting broke up the regn-
larry qualified voters ''came to order
elected Harrison county chairman,
let none but real electors vote, pass
ed some appropriate resolutions,
endorsed +. NJ. Barber for lieutenant
governor, and NJ, NJ. Evans for rail
road commissioner from this district,
and left those offices which they had
no control over to be decided by the
primary, as had been ordained by
the county executive committee.
This was .he only genuine meeting
of citizens of Harrison county. We
do not believe that such illegal pro
eeedings as those first recorded would
be possible under the watchful eye
Of oar executive committee. Nor can
we beIIeye that the State convention
will recognize such irregularities, /
Kinds county ought to be thrown
out for less fragrant violation Of the
entire spirit of our present constitu-
ton. This instrument was procured
at great expense ard formulated by
the best men Of the State, tor the ex-
press purpose of preventing the ut
terIy ignorant and unworthy classes
from ruling our destinies. Should
such proceedings 90 unrebuked we
we had better 90 back TO the old
''black and tan" style of conducting
eiections. AT this point of time we
are passing along the edge of preci.
pitous cliffs. Unless you steer clear
of such political methods we will!
soon be where Filipinos might we'll

citizens to awake to the danger of our
