If Cairo's railroad facilities were ai
limited as Paducah's she would prob
ably be as great a river city as Padu
can, or" greater.
'There; Is no specific, order by th"
. chief,' or proclamation by the mayor.
that no pistols or guns may be dis
charged in the city limits. But tin
urohlbltcry ordinances are on the
books and speak for themselves.
If It can be reasoned out honestly
anil clearly that "free wharfage" wil
eive back to Cairo her great river
business" of years ago, or even any
considerable .portion of it, then, by
all 'means ; or .by 'any means, t us
get .frw -harfag,e,. , More than likely.
however, any man wno win approacn (
and, go Into the. subject fully and con
scientiously, with an eye single ti the
interests of the city and the meiits
of the case will discover very
goon that wharfage Is bul a very small
Item In the river business. He will
find, among other things, tha' during
the palmiest days of Cairo'i" river busl
ness the wharfage -as the same as
now If not higher, and rules more
rigid. He will find, ab;o. that. Pa In
cah, which. Is cited in comparison vrith
Cairo, as enjoying a greater river
business, has not a free wharf, and
that It even charges In cases where
Cairo '8 wharf is free, as can be test!
fled to by Capt. Hacker who was re
cently compelled to pay $." for land
ing with an excursion party, for which
Cairo charges nothing. In any ef
fort to ascertain the reason for the
depression In Cairo's river business
the true cause must be found if an
efficient remedy is to be applied, and
evidently the wharfage charge is not
no potent an Influence in this case
as ome woi'ld have us belive. More
thaa likely the railroads are just a
littW to blame. It is freight that
steamboats want and If Cairo ship
pera will withhold their freight from
the railroads and favor the steam
boats K will probably not be long till
a err decided rev.vaf in the lattfr
will be notreeif bo matter what the
wharfage may be. And. by the way:
Woull !t not (In certain quarters)
"relieve the pressure- somewhat fas.
the late U mentis Immortal J. !v
would sty) if Mayor Parsons should
withdraw from- the congressional
race? This may Bound irrevaleut to
many people, but those on the inside
will understand. ... ..
There seems to Tie a good, old
time, go-in-to win scramble for the
Democratic, nomination for represen
tative from this congressional dis
trict. It is all right boys. Let's have
the scramble and then get into the
band wagon.
When it conies to Fourth of July
celebrations it seems that the chil
dren of the Methodist church up town
have chosen "the better part." They
will observe the day with patriotic ex
ercisea instead of gunpowder al
though it w ill have to be admitted that
It did take a good bit of the latter to
gain what the day stands for.
Perhaps friend Wattersou and oth
er were needlessly excited about
those Parker resolutions on Cleveland.
This morning's dispatches quote Judge
Parker as saying: ' "Ally1 suggestion
that my colleagues or myself were ac
tuated by any motive other than the
desire to pay proper tribute on a fit
ting occasion to Democracy's dead
leader is without foundation, as I am
sure everv fuir-mlnded man will recog
nize when I shall have completed the
resolutions for submission to the con
vention." Brother Watterson needs to
sponge his head.
CLEVELAND'S L-AST MESSAGE.
To the Editor of the World:
l have received your letter asking
me to make a resiionse to the follow
ing question: "What is the best
principle and what tiie best policy to
give the Ivmocratic pa.iy new life?"
As a general proposition I might
answer this tustion by saving that in
my opinion this could be most surely
brought about by a return to genuine
Democratic doctrine anil a close ad-
herence to the Democratic iKilicies
which in times past gave our party
success ami benefited our people.
To be more specific in my reply, I)
should say that, more than ever, juit,i)all tno correct tare, coupled with a
at this time the Democratic fai ty ,
should1 display honest and sinceie
conservatism, a regard for constitu-'
tional limitations and a determination J
hot to be swept from our moorings by :
temporary clamor or spectacular ex
ploitation. 'Onr people neer Vest and reassur
ance; and it will '! quite m line wim
true Democracy and successful policy
to impress upon our rellow country
men the fact that Democracy still
stands for those things.

alone. I should lieiute to name a rate greater than one foot
in 10,000 years on the basis' of oh.ervation. If we allow
-10,000 years for the four feet of soil next the rock it is prob
tihlv none too consenative. To maintain a eood working
depth, surface waste: should then not evoeetl some
as one inch in a thousand years. At any rate,
such ratt
surface wast aire must U- very slow unless it is to out-run soil production
and lead to the loss of the body of the soil. Surface wastage is. therefore,
a serious jnenuce to the retention of our soils under present modes of
management.
1'roin a study of soils, it becomes dear that the key to the problem lie
in the control of the water which falls on each aire. This water-fall
is an 'asset of rmit posihIc alue: saved if turned where it will do ood,
lost if permitted to run away, doubly lost if it carries away also the soil.
It is possible that so:ne of the more radical and permanent remedies
will be found by a closer study ti nature's methods. Nature has leeu
working at this complex problem of balance between soil formation, soil
waste, surface slojte, plant Lrrowth, and stream development, for million
of years. Looking- closely at her methods we note that she uses a much
larger variety of plums to cover and protect the soil than we do. T!ie.-!
plants have a wider rane of adaptation to the special situations uhci'e;
protection is needed. U'e may, tV refore. impure whether we should not
follow this pivo dent further by developing more kinds of profitable
plant- and by using be pndeili.e varieties more freely on slopes espe
cially .subject to wast.
The
Despotism
of
Marriage
By MIS. GEORGE NOIMAPf.
and individuality renounced them a! one fell swoop; he or she who had
gone about the world since his or her emancipation from the leading
.stritii: of infancy, a.-i-uiucd. at the bidding of society and custom, an
other and a life-lonjf subjection to a fellow-bein. made over his or her
possessions, wealth, and person to another, and renounced, once and for
ail, the rights of privacy, friendship and opinion.
Marriage, indeed, is so interpntcd to this day by an tin intelligent
clifc of person?, who, so long, apparently, its' they have food to eat, money
to put in the bank, and a comfortable (hair in which to spend their even
ings, have not the slightest objection to grovelling, nor the most elemen
tary aspiration towards a soul-life of their own.
Jlrvdeii's famous epitaph intended for his wife's grave would, one
illumine!!, be rc-eclioed by many loiig-siilTei'iiig husbands, had they the cour
age of their opinions' :
"Here lies my wife: !nr let tier lie!
Nuw Klie'H rest. Illlil SO ilMI I."
Ketl. in hi? Flowers', of Wit, relates of the same poet, who seems
to have taken matrimony gloomily, that his wife having, in an expansive
moment, wished die might be the book that the poet liked best to read,
artlessly inquired of her husband what hook that should be. Itrydcn'a
unswer, even for that plain-spoken ago, was tart:
"An iilmuiiuek," said lie. "my ilfiir;
Vim know c lianpe thorn '- t ry year."
iut when a!! criticism, all cuiicism. are exhausted, the fact remain
that we need ii nrriagi'. We are so weak ami so dependent ; so short-lived
ami so solitary aifoiig great forces, tlmt e human beings of a spivies seek
euch other blinlly for comfort and support. For all our science and our
progress we arc but as children crying iu the dark, and what we cry for
is low; marriage may and should he. the down and glory of a perfect
love. It may le all fulfillment and content, a dream within a dream of
happiness that those who cannot share may watch afar olT, with eyes dim
with unshed ters or with a patient and serene acceptance of a loss that
somehow, in '( od's instant nn ti call years," will be repaired.

HIS OVERTHROW.
Dean always halMaughed,half
growled "Nothing doing!" whenever
the question of matrimony, as ap
plied to him personally, came up.
He d cilned to censure his friends
when one hy one they boned their
heads to the yoke, for he said that
If a man with a sane mind wanted to
make an Idiot of himself it wat his
own ouslueas ana he had a uerfoct
right to do bo.
He was always gettng himself dis
liked for thoughtless promulgation
of his theory when among friends.
Huffy young creatures with trufttus
eyes and marvelous iionu.adours,
who previously lu.il cast speculative
and approving glances at tils hlonjia
features, usually tilted their noses
haughtily aud abandonti him to his
fate after he had launched forth his
opinion of the galling bonds of mat
rimony. Possibly this was because each
on wanted to Inscribe her-calling
cards vith the name of Mrs. Finest
Dean: still, It rather takes away
from the flavor of the ganij to smlla
upon a man who one knows never.
b any possibility, will giue on on.
save In an tmpersi nal and disinter
ested manner. Oluer aud more ex
perienced young women, who sus
pected that he might he talking Just
for the sake of talking, finally con
cluded aist, that -he really believed
what he said, aud so sought other
fields to conquer.
So accustomed had Dean become
to being eyed reproachfully, stir
prisedly, iudignaut, that he ex
perienced a distinct shock the even
ing ihat he met Serena Hubert the
second time.
As he lazily watched the c gar
smoke curling upward it was after
an Informal dinner-he said apro
pos of some remark, "It bervej him
right for getting married, anyhow!"
Serma merely continued to lean
back among the cushions of tiie
d.van and to smile agreeauly. "It
does, Indeed," she murmured calmly.
"1 never can understand this idea
that matrimony means happiness!
leople Bituuted like you and like my
self, for Instance art the only w';:;j
ones! "
Dean let his cigar slip from hla
paralyzed fingers, rs he starer' at her
vivid face. "D -do you. really
think that?" he half stammered.
Serena laughed. "Of course I
do," she said. "It's all ioolish
Uess!" Dean stooped over and recovered
his cigar. "Yes, of course," he mur
mured. "That's always been mjr
theory."
"And you ara quite aight," Serena
assured him. '1 am glad to meet
a man with enough sense and brains
tc recognize .he fact and not ha
afraid .o tiand by his colors."
She smiled at him swuutly and
Lean forgot what she said in on
sen ing the delicate contour of her
face and how lovely her color was.
Then he roused himself to say that,
ot course, he agreed with her and
hi) so enjoyed meeting a sensible girl
who could be talked to without de
manding u sense of the personal In
the conversation. He said It waa
unusual.
"Hut then," Sersna replied, "you
rra an unusual man, Mr. Dean."
"Not In tha len:it!" cried Dean,
gratified but not pretesting.
He sat talking with Serena till his
hosteso caiiib and forcibly dragged
him away. He lost his goor" temper
tl'.l he got hold of a 'nan who could
take hlrn to call on Serena, because
he had totally forgotten, la his ab
sorption the evening of tiie diuner,
t( ask her if he might come. He
took hf.r to the theatre and thez he
was asked to a chafing-dish aupper.
Through It all Serena insisted oa
complimenting him on his well
known views against wife and home.
She elaoorated on the subject Sha
threed with his remarks before he
made them, and it he did not make
them she cleverly put them Into his
mouth and he spoke them hopeless
lj. He began to have a strange re
luctance to hear them, for of a sud
den he was tired of their iteration.
An awful fit of the blues descend
ed on him and held him subject for
a week. Each time he called on Se
rena. In the hope: of being cheered
up in the society ofa person so thor
oughly In accord with his own views
camj away feeling worse. It
was an awful thing to hear a fair
young girl sit up and declare that
she never should marry but should
devote her lite to being free and
happy.
"As if she could not be equally
free and lots happier If she mar
ried!" Dean found himself mutter
ing one evening as he left her.
Serena was eminently fitted to
make some home nappy, he had to
admit.
Finally one. evening when he waa
particularly down-hear'cjj he could
restrain himself no logger.
"Stop It," he told Serena. "I
don't like to liear you say such
things! Of course, you'll marry
somebody. I wish I wish there
was -a show for me! Couldn't you
would ou think ot marrying me.
Serena?"
"Well," murmured Seren "may
be I am foiUsh to have such views
I ril think about it Kmest,
though, of course, I am so surprised
and startled "
Nobody but the mirror across tha
room saw the finishing little smile
she gave herself as Dean sighed in
an immense relief that' dissipated
tae cloud of blues that had hovered
over him for days.

does not see why hq should help oth
ers to what he has himself dlspeusad
with. Calcutta Englishman.
