Eastern Opposition to Our Navy
Yard and River.

OF course the New York newspapers
are proyineial-few more so unless i
be those of Boston but it is a mistake
to assume that the opposition to the
New Orleans navy yard and the use O
the Mississippi river is sectional" il
the ordinary use of that word. 1t is
in broad sense, but has not It's
origin IN any opposition to the south
as such, or to any feeling against the
south.
The whole thing is born of purely
business apprehension. New York
aud its surrounding country has SC
long teen the centre of all business
control that its people instinctively
dread the building up of any locality
that bids fair to establish commercial
rivalry.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
eastern trunk lines of railway have
more business than they can do, they
do not want to see the levees that con-
troll the current of commerce broken at
at any point lest new channel be cut
and what they consider their property
find its way into other hands. The
newspapers are not the only element
haunted by this apprehension. No
thing else brought the Morgan bank
ing house TO the backing of the At
lantie shipping trust, and the holdings
of English investors in eastern trunk
line securities alone made and makes
the trust possible.
The same influences are and will re.
main in the way of any broad, sys-
tematic and efficient development Of in
land waterways.
It is a mistake not to recognize these
influences, locate them properly and
give them the consideration they de-
serve. They are aetuated aud inspired
by some of the brightest minds our
country possesses. minds devoted
solely 10 personal and local interests
and backed by all the power of the
concentrated wealth OF the country,
actuated By the desire to keep hold on
the right to levy what tribute they
please on the internal commerce of the
richest and most active nation on
earth.
The prize is the greatest in the
world 5 history, The struggle viii be
con- mensurate With the goal 10 be at

Public Education.


The Chief is greatly interested II
and exercised over the subject of pub
lie education, and is persuaded that 3
large proportion of cur people do not
realize the situation in Louisiana to.
day.
The illiteracy of the whites, leaving
the blacks out of view, is a shame and
reproach to the commonwealth. The
number of white children now growing
up in ignorance is a disgrace, to put
it mildly.
Those who are Informed say that
there are not less than 5000 white
children Ia the city Of New Orleans
wholly without school facilities. How
many of the country schools run full
term, and in how many parishes do
approximately all the white children
attend school? We dread to contem-
plate the answer.
Experience elsewhere shows that the
only remedy for the deplorabie condf.
lions that confront US IS the total sep
aration of the educational organiza-
ton from the other political organi.
cations Of the community. The school
boards ought to be chosen at elections
separate and apart from those at
which other officers are elected. Not
more than one.third of the board
ought to be elected at once, and there
ought to be some women on every
board.
The school board should have
power to levy and receive and expend
its own taxes.
When these things are brought
about We will be on the road to an ed
system that will be worth
while.

4 Timely Suggestion,

a prominent citizen and leading
business man of this town has made q
suggestion that seems to The Chief
eminently practical and worthy of be-
Ing acted upon. 1t is that an organi-
cation be formed by the people of As,
cension, Assumption and Lafourche
parishes for the purpose of advocating
and urging the installation of locks at
the head of Bayou Lafourehe to sup
plant the dam which now shuts of the
natural connection of that stream with
the Mississippi river.
This is day of unions, associa-
lions aud societies. Organized and
systematic effort exercises a degree OF
influence and accomplishes results in
almost any given direction that no
amount of individual or haphazard
labor could attain, Operating through
Bayou Lafourche Lock Associa-
ton, = for instance, the people of this
section would be able to make a far
more effective and intelligent cam
paign for the removal of the dam and
substitution of the locks than would
otherwise be possible.
The suggestion comes from the same
source that meeting of the citizens of
the three parishes named be called for
an early date, at Donaldsonvillle, and
that Gov. Sanders and congressman
Broussard and Wickliffe be invited to
attend the gathering and to join in the
discussion of the movement.
The idea is pregnant with wisdom
and Importance, and The Chief will be
glad to further its execution in every
practicable way.

The French Mntiny.

The calling of existing conditions il
France a strike is a aagrant misuse
of q legitimate word, the educational
effect Of which cannot but be harmful
to the youth of our own country.
A strike is the combined leaving
OF employment by employees of a pri
yate enterprise. Public servants are
sworn officers of the law, and for them
to combine to cripple the public SER
vice IN any way is .tanting and
should be 50 characterized at any and
all times. To call 1t by name which
indicates merely the exercise. of a pri-
waite right is to inculcate into the
minds Of the young and thoughtless a
too light sense of the obligations of
an official oath and public duty.
The Chief desires to enter here and
now its most earnest protest against
the course of every great daily news
paper it has seen in permitting the
misuse Of the word 'sstrike'' in this
connection. Our metropolitan con-
temperaries ought to know and do
better, and should straightway set
about correcting their fragrant error
Can a judge, district attorney, a
sheriff strike" against the enforce
ment of the law they have sworn to
enforce? The mere statement of the
proposition proclaims its absurdity
How, then, can public officer or
enployee OF any kind who has sworn
to obey the law and perform the pre-
scribed duties of his position strike"
against obedience to the law and the
performance of these duties?

FIGHT 2-CENT FARE.
Railroads to Start Suits at Once in
Many Western States.

Many Western States.
Chicago, March 10.-A meeting of
the executive committee of the West
ern Passenger association will be held
tomorrow to formulate plan of action
in view of the decision of the Federal
court multiplying the 2-cent passenger
and maximum freight rate law in Mis-
souri,. 1t is understood that there is
an almost unanimous opinion that the
roads ought to return to Scent fare
as soon as the schedule can be pre-
pared.
One large system is known to be in
fator of accepting the suggestion of
the court, and make the rate 21S cents
for the "strong" lines and cents for
the "weak" lines. The prevailing
sentiment is against this, however, as
it is regarded as in conflict with that
part of the courts decision which de-
clares that the railroads ought to earn
per cent for the stockholders.
A meeting Of the executive officials
of the Western roads will be held soor
with view to concerted action against
all 2-cent passenger laws. 1t is ex
pected that suits will begin soon il
Illinois, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indi
ana and possibly Michigan. The Kan
sas senate killed the 2-cent bill, but I
2-cent rate made by the state commits
sion is in effect.
