4 NEW SPIRIT PREVAILS.

That a different spirit now actuates
the railroads in this vicinity from that
which pervaded them years ago is evil
+ dent in the work nov in progress and
which has been in progress in this
vicinity lately, a report of which is
given in tee news columns elsewhere.
The BIC -Four Is taking time by the
/ forelock and is doing al expensive
piece of muck ditching' to prevent
the undermining of its embankment
by the Ohio river some distance above
the city, when the water rises to flood
tide. Its experience some years ago
taught it a lesson by which it is profit
ing, and since that time it has placed
its embankment through this county
in excellent condition
The Mobile & Ohio company has
just about completed a piece of work
which arrested the destructive effect
of the Mississippi river upon its bank
a short distance below the point
where the so-called new levee joins
the old This is worthy of comment
because it was a condition similar to
this which preceded the necessity of
building the so-called new" leyee
away back in the seventies Then,
like now, the river began to cut away
the natural bank outside of the old
Mississippi levee. The railroad com
pany occupied the old levee with its
tracks and was under contract to pro-
tect its embankment from the river,
but it was not under contract to pro-
tect the natural" ground ON which
the embankment was built AT that
time. as now, the rivers work was
done on the natural" bank and the
company looked to others TO arrest it.
The others did not do this. and the
river continued its work until the
railroad embankment was undermined
and went down and the city was
forced to build a new levee at cost
of 100000 or more Now an entirely
different course was pursued The
moment the company received notice
of the encroachment of the river upon
the natural bank outside its en-
bankment it set men to work to stop
it, and this, too, after having been
relieved even of the specific legal OBJ
legation to protect the artificial en-
bankment, which was done when the |
city gave 1t possession Of the widened |
levee. But this prompt attention to |
the trouble mas doubtless saved very /
heavy expense which would have been 1
necessary to save the company's en-
bankment had the water been allowed |
to take its own course few weeks.

Of 1904 are Witnessing an event which
become commonplace because of its
frequency The years are woven into
centuries and they in their turn
pass away even as the clock ticks
off the seconds. Time will not stay
in his onward march through men
and nations feel the crushing force Of
his heavy footsteps Centuries hold
their ruthless, implacable course and
kingdoms and empires fade away
like the mists of the morning. They
may grow to be great and powerful
and the splendor of their opulence
may attract the attention Of the
world, Their argosies freighted with
the worlds best products may pillow
the seas and their conquering legions
bring treasures from distant pro-
vinces, Their restless argonauts may
scour the valleys and tunnel the
mountains in search of the golden
fleece All that is beautiful and noble
in art may be brought to adorn their
princely palaces But at last they
grow languid with excess of luxury
and their temples crumble away and
the wild beasts breed their young in
the shelter of their runined affairs
and serpents hiss beneath their pros
trate columns This has been the
fate of all nations and this nation will
follow in their footsteps if it forgets
that conscience and not full treas.
ury is the real citadel Of its strength.
When excess of wealth debauches
and demoralizes the national con
science, then will national dissolution
begin. The history of the world has
taught us that great wealth is the
most dangerous foe a nation can
have When Rome was dying she
was the richest nation on earth
When the Netherlands were poorest
they were the most powerful Riches
beget luxury. Luxury begets idleness
and ease, and the idle luxurious ma,
tion is doomed Read the history of

of the departed years or monkey with

when eggs are worth thirty cents o
