Moulding PuhlIe Onlnlon


The articles below mentioned
will give some idea of the broad
field covered by the efforts of the
Interstate Leyee Association, and
the valuable results that have
been attained. They are only Il
few of the many favorable re-
sponses received by the President
of the Association in answer to
his appeals looking to the national
ization of the levee system. Pub
lie sentiment from Massachusetts,
to California is favorable to this
great work, and foreshadows a
strong backing for the Catchings
bill at the next session of Congress.
In the meantime the Leyeo Asso-
citation will redouble its efforts,
ana in the early fall will attempt
10 get strong and favorable reso:
lutions from every Board of Trade
and Chamber of Commerce of
any importance in the country.
Some of the Q larger CITIES, like
New York and Chicago, will per-

send delegations to Washington

opinion can be moulded in behalf
of just cause, which has only 10
be understood in order to secure
the support Of all broad minded,
patriotic citizens. The following
communications will be read with
interest Bolivar Democrat.
The Democrat follows the above
with copies of resolutions CON-
mending the leyee system, and
urging Federation, passed by the
Boston Merchants Association,
the Clothiers' Board of Trade, of
Baltimore, the Plttsburg Coal Ex-
change, the Nashville Chamber of
Commerce, the Fresno (Cal.)
Chamber of Commerce, the Flor
ence, (Ala.) Wagon WQrkR, and
the Kansas City Board Of Trade,
l.he general sentiment of the
letters and resolutions are the same
as those of the following, passed
by the Boston Merchants Asso-
citation:
Whereas; The leyeeing Of the
Mississippi River, SO far as 1t has
been done, has proven Of manifest
advantage to the States through
which it runs and to the commerce
which is carried on by them, and
also in the saving of life and prQp-
erty
Ne, therefore, favor the leyee-
ing of the Mississippi River from
the mouth Of Red River to such
points as will meet the leveclng
already done. That it is not
