THE riTISEJVN' AMMOl'l ATIO.V.
The Jtuniat-Arciiui calls to the attention
of tUCltiMn' Association of Cairo, the
rery important fact that It might do some
good in forwarding the attempt now be
ing made to secure an appropriation
from Congress to Improve the river at
this city. This is n fact, hut we have lit
tle hope of the Association. The break
ing of Uie levee broke the Association-
wiped it out. Instead of taking liolu of
the matter, and discussing the question :
"Who Is to blaino, and what should le
done?" it quietly folded Its tent anil stole
out oi existence. That the Trustees of
the Property were to blame had tccn
caarged, and one or the Trustees was a
member of the Association. To

tees would he to tramp upon lilsl
toei. and to tramp on his toes
before his face no Association man had
the moral courage. And thcrctore, at the
very time w hen tho tint subject of real
importance to the city, va presented,
the Association laid down very quietly
and died. This was not as it should hare
been. This levee matter ought to have
been taken up by the Association and
discussed, whether Col. Taylor had ob
jection to or favored siiui discussion.
But we are sure Col. Taylor would not
liave objected. On the contrary, lie
would, no doubt, have been pleased with
the opportunity such a discussion would
have offered him to prove the many wild
assertions made by thoughtless and pre
judiced men against the Trustees alto
gether foundatioaless. But in any event,
the Association bad a splendid opportuni
ty to distinguish Itself, and did not
However, one failure is not flat failure,
and It may be well to get the Asiociatlon

What does Dr. Smith say
WAB IT A GKAVE INTAKE T
The Oautte says: "We cannot (lis
i uls t the thought that Mr. Olierly made
a grave mistake In causiug our City
Council to represent to Congress that a
large appropriation of money is needed
for the improvement ot the Mississippi
river near Cairo, because, among other
things, the expenditure of such a .sum
'would make permanent the levees
around Cairo, aad thus save from de
struction a large amount of private prop
erty.'" We do not agree with the Ga
ititt, and have no doubt the public will
UOt fall to preorWtt lfct the reason gtven
by enr friend "over the way' for his be
lief are not very forcible. It will not do
to say, that If the Memorial did not set
forth the fact that the propo-ed
improvement of the Mississippi at this
city would furnish to our levees inci
dental protection from the eroding cur
rents of the river, "the suspicious chaps
of the Xew England States1' would never
find it out. They have a way of lludliig
out many things, and we have been made
aware ot the fact that there are people near
this river-threatened city who take a great
pleasure in telling other people that the
proposed Improvement will protect Cairo,
and ought not therefore to be made. To
attempt to conceal anything would lie fu
tile, and would be a very great mistake
indeed. Candor In this matter Is wis
dom. The telling of the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth is the
best policy.
The Memorial states, that the continu
ally shifting channel has, during a year
past, been pouring lu almost Irreslst.
ible current upon the Illinois shore,
destroying the levees that surround
Cairo and actually endangering the city
that the proposed improvement, neces
sary to be made In the interest of com
merce and to make safer the navigation
of the river, will also make secure the
Cairo levees and remove the daugcr
constantly threatening us. This should
not be &ald, we are told. Such a declara
tion will, we are wanted, endanger the
success ot the appropriation Uiat Is being
solicited. Wc cannot understand whv
this will be so. Wc say to Congress
"Tha Improvement U necessary iu the
interest or commerce ami the ccncral
wrahare ; and more than this, ltlll make
secure a city uow endangered." Arc
Congressmen made of such ttutr, that
when told an improvement Congress U
asked to make Is necccssary for certain
(ueral reasons, they will say : "We
agree;" but when they arc told: "It Is
secessary for certain general reasons
and will If made tare- a city from de
iracuou, tney will say: "Atil you
have said too much. You have tcidus
what we could not help but know, being
lawiUfeut men, but icau you have
the candor to say so, we protest?" It

feature. Wa aay to Congress substan
tially: Wcs protect Cairo trout over-

do ak Consrcs to make detlnito the

which we dure not touch to throw lt
currents away from our very doors. Wo
aru compelled to oluerve the river wah
lug down ourlcvces, and must remain In
active. The government hasald: "I
only shall dare to go into tho channel of
any navigable l renin:" and, Iherclo're,
although the currents of the channel of
the Mlilppl actually threaten to des
troy Cairo, wo cannot do anything to
ward away the danger. The government
only can do so, and therefore the govern
ment Oitmld do so.
