■
A General Meeting To Be Held for the Pur-
pose iat the Cotton Exchange on
Thursday, February 10.
The following correspondence between
a number of prominent citizens of Halves-
ton and Colonel W. L. Moody, president of
the Cotton exchange, in reference to taking
some action upon the Onderdonk proposi-
tion, explains itself:
Galveston, February 5, 18&7.—Colonel W,
L. Moody,"President Galveston Cotton Ls-
change: We the undersigned citizens re-
spectfully request you to call a public
meeting, to be neld at the Cotton exchange
as soon as possible, for the purpose of tak-
ing the neccssary steps regarding Mr.
Onderdonk'a nroposition for deepening the
Galveston bar, which seems to us the most
practicable yet proposed.
We also recommend that you extend an
invitation, through the press, to the citizens
of this and neighboring States in general,
and those of Houston in particular, to be
present, as well as to the agents of all rail-
roads having connections at this port, inso-
much as the subject is of great interest to
us ail.

The following letter has also been handed
in to The News upon the same subject:
To The News.
Several articles having lately been con-
tributed upon the subject of deep water at
Galveston, and (published in The News,
has put the community and people of the
State to thinking upon this very important
subject. The proposition as published on
tne 3d instant from a party in New York,
who teems to be indorsed by men of largo
means, looks well on its face, as it agrees
for $500,000 to give within six months a
channel 250 feet wide and 20 feet deep from
the harbor into the gulf, and to maintain
said channel one year for an additional
sum of $100,000. if persons who have
had extensive experience with, and
have made the subject of deep water
on our flat, sandy coast a study for
many years, could believe in the possi-
bility of obtaining and keeping a depth of
twenty feet or more over the bar by a sys-
tem of dredging alone, then this proposi-
tion would seem to be within our reach
and the problem soon solved—provided
the government engineers could be induced
to try and get, by an act of Congress, per-
mission to abandon the plans upon which
they have been working for a number of
years, and recommend the dredging pHn
instead. There was appropriated at last
session for this harbor $-300,000, and a bill
f ranting $200,000 more has passed the lower
ouse this session. Should this go through
the Senate and not be vetoed bv the presi-
dent. there will soon bo available for this
work the amount that is required under tha
proposition of this Now York contractor to
give the twenty-foot channel 250 feet wide
across the bar. We would then have to
take our chances on getting another appro-
priation at the next session to pay for
keeping this channel open for a yoar. Fail-
ing in this we would then have to raise the
money elsewhere or take the chances of its
filling up and leaving us as we now are with
a depth of, say, 13 feet and minus $'500,000.
Inasmuch as there would be doubtless
difficulty in getting the government engi-
neers to abandon their plans and adopt
new ones, which would be virtually an ad-
mission that their plans were a failure, and
for success they were compelled to look for
engineering skill outside of their own
corps, would it not be better to urge the
expenditure of this money at once in the
completion of tho south jetty?
Captain Eads, and we believe every other
engineer or experienced man who has
given the subject much thought, has ex-
pressed the belief that the only solution of
the problem is in building ttvo parallel jet-
ty walls out to deep water. These walls to
conflno the water to given bound3, instead
of letting it spread out at will, and thus fa-
cilitate the scour and prevent the drifting
sands from filling the channel. With the
south jetty wall built up above the water's
surface at mean high tide, there can be
but little doubt of the channel being de-
pressed and straightened, and then it
would be an easy matter, if found necessa-
ry to hasten results, to resort to dredging
with a prospect of permanency, as the
channel would then be protected from the
drifting sands by this wall on the south
side of it. The north jetty could be located
i and built as fast as appropriations could
be obtained through Congress. In the
meantime, after completion of tha south
jetty, we would most likely have
a, channel twenty feet or more iu
depth and a prospect amounting al-
most to a certainty of its being main-
tained without heavy annual expenditures.
Major Ernst, the engineer in charge of the
works, has the reputation of being an able
man in his profession, and while he has
not, so far as we have ever heard, given
any expression of opinion as to how he pro-
poses to do this work, we feel he will most
likely first make a thorough examination of
what has been done, and then determine
what materials he will use and the best
manner of adapting them to the objects
sought. After many years experience in
doing jetty work on this coast, we are satis-
fied that a stronger, cheaper and more dur-
able wail can be constructed by the use Of
brush and stone combined than by the use
of stone alone. We believe this fact can be
demonstrated beyond doubt to any reason-
able mind. Its lasting and staying quali-
ties where exposed to severer storm tests
than we have ever yet had at Galveston
can bo proved by an examination of
the works at Pass Cavallo and Aranaa?
pass, which have been there for years and
where properly put iu. have neither settled
In the FBtid, washed away nor been eaten
up by teredos. At this place and at the
two last harbors above named, brush and
stone have been used about in the propor-
tion of one yard of stone to tnreo and. a hhlf
to four yards of brush. We think a greater
quantity of stone would ba much better,
and that in top work it should ba used in
much larger blocks than heretofore.
Should Major Ernst decide on this class
of material and combine it in say equal
parts, the half million dollars would be
sufficient to commence the work at ICuhn
wharf; carry it along the line of the old
pile breakwater to Fort Point, where it
would join the south jetty, and carry that
jetty up above the surface of the water
at mean high tide for neai'ly or quite
its whole length of say four miles. We
speak of commencing work at Kuhn wharf,
because in our opinion it is necessary to
prevent the spread of water, or the cutting
of any channel in a southerly direction,
and to have from the wharves a training
wall for the current, in order to obtain its
best scouring effects. This part of tho wall
would also catch and h"ld the drifting sand
that gathers on the flats east of the city,
and is carried by prevailing winds into and
across the channel to Pelican.
We as well as others who have all our in-
terests here and expect to live and die in
Galveston, would, if we thought such a
thing probable, like to see funds enough on
hand at once to place the matter into the
hands of some responsible contractor that
would undertake to guarantee results in
Bhortest time possible, but there being so
many reasons why this state of affairs can
not reasonably be brought about, would it
not bo wisdom to accept matters as wo find
them and give our best energios to make
the best wo can of them instead of trying
new experiences? If plans had been adopt-
ed and work going on with the money ap-
propriated last summer, when Con-
gress met in December we would most
likely have received a much more liberal
allowance than we did. And it the money
now appropriated i3 properly expended
before Congress meets again, and shows
the good results that we believe it can ba
made to show, we may reasonably hope for
a large appropriation, especially if our peo-
ple unite in asking for it. This matter is
entirely in the hands of the general gov-
ernment. and tho time that it would require
to place it tn the hands of the State, city or
a contractor would be considerable, evon if
it could be done at all, and having now
money enough in sight to carry the work to
a point where all who aro posted in such
mutters declare we will see groat improve-
ment in depth of water, is it not better to
all pull in thut direction than possibly do
worse? A. M. Shannon & Co.

TIIE POSITION OF RELIGION.
By Rabbi Joseph Silverman, o! Galveston, Tex.
The position of religion is, to-day, rather
precarious—to say the least, a deplorable
one. Men relegate religion to the rubbish
of bygone days, assign it an insignificant
placo among the myths and superstitions
of old, or regard it as a superannuated
heirloom, a sort of antiquarian relic. Re-
ligion is merely tolerated, either out of de-
ference to its own age or to the age of some
one to whom it is still near and dear. And
when religion does for a brief spell enjoy
an asserted position, that position is gen-
erally confined to the environs of the sick
bed, the death chamber or the grave. Man
connect religion with sickness, old age,
death. With life and health it shall hold
no communion.
The very position that these men assign
to religion suggests the excuse for their
conduct, if ignorance can be accepted as
an excuse. Thay evidently do not under-
stand or else willfully misrepresent the in-
trinsic value of that which they discard.
Religion is no myth, no superstition, and is
not superannuated. Far from being so; it
is a (reality; it is truth; it is alive to the
issues of the day and " eager for
the fray." All those opponents to
religion confound it with the story
of Paradise; with the parable of
the talking serpent and Balaam's ass. Their
conception of religion never rises higher
than the child's biblical stories. That con-
ception were even acceptable if it had only
been colored by the child's catechism. It
is hardly explicable why the full-grown
man should reject the catechism as an ad-
ditional source, if not the only one from
which to draw his religion and adopt such
a one which he himself votes unworthy.
He makes a straw man, for the pleasure, it
seems, of later tearing it to pieces.
Having thus created an acknowleged un-
worthy basis for religion, it is very easy to
demolish tho fabric. Similarly Draper sets
up Catholicism as religion and thon retires
complacently when he has demolished such
a religion with the sledge-hammer of
science. The world is to be congratulated
that such a course of procedure is not prac-
tically carried out to its logical ultimate.
In that case men would want a world with-
out religion. "Down with myths and su-
perstition" would be the slogan. And
down would topple church spires; altars
would reel; Bibles with commentaries aad
concordances innumerable would feed the
funeral pyre of religion. Ministers them-
selves would break the tablets containing
the ten commandments, and, like Aaron,
join in erecting golden caives. There
would be eo law, except the civil code; no
conscience except the judge's ipse dixit;
no master except the constable. Chil-
dren would be born into 'a world of
materialism. They would be taught that
man descended from the ape. " Away
with the paradise fiction." They would ba
taught to do what is riot punished, and to
desist from doing that which is punished.
A world without religio.1 would hitve no
other standard of right except prudence.
Marriage would be a civil contract merely.
Perhaps tree love would reign, i£ it were
the will of the majority, as the doctrine of
"every man shall cleave unto his wife"
had been destroyed, together with the
Bible. Man would die, and that irreligious
world would bury him and leave tha be-
reaved uncousoled, in despair. What a
cold, indifferent, unloving, uncongenial
world that would be.
And it would yet be well as long as those
lived who had once in their youth imbibed
the biblical lesson of the patriarchs of
Jcsbepb. Moses, the Prophets Solomon
and David. But what a world, when those
had grown into manhood who had baen
reared from infancy in a wilderness of irra-
ligioal Children who had never seen tha
Bible, who had never heard of God, revela-
tion, the ten commandments, of God's love
and mercy; who had never beard of the
wrongs of a wicked brother like Cain, or
of the guiltiness of jealous children like th?
brothers of Joseph; who had never
heard of Israel's slavery in Egypt,
of the injustice and tyrannv ' of Pharaoh
ar.d of-how Gottipnnvsheii Turn; who had
never heard of Moses, the judges, the great
Isaiah and Elijah—what men would sucll
children make? Might and prudence would
be their standard of right, not love and
goodness. A race of materialists and sen-
sualists would be born into a world of free-
dom and license. Night would be turned
into day. Reeling, frolicking men, noisy
and quarrelsome, on fire with rum ana
burning with passion, would be seen on tha
street corners. No God; no temperance.
No peaceful homes; no quiet firesides.
Wife-beating husbands and husband-be-
shrewing wives; cruel fathers, heartless
mothers, brawling children. No God; no
love. And what queer business there would
be. All suspecting, none respecting; all
conniving, none regarding; all for self,
none for others. No God; no conscience.
W hat a pandemonium'
If we could imagine the world without re-
ligion we would, perhaps, see a more de-
grading spectacle than what we bkve pic-
tured. Slay not the present civilization ba
due merely to religion? Do we not find bar-
barism without religion? Men need a great
Idefil to soften their animal natures. Men,
need a God to love, to belieye in, to be de-
pendent upon; not a wooden god,
but some great spiritual -existence,
perfect in all his attributes , of
power, wisdom and love; one unchangeable
and infinite, something that w^uld inspire
awe by its grandeur, reverence by its sub-
limity, faith by its infallibility and love by
its goodness. Men need a great perfect
paragon for emulation or else they worship
themselves, make a powerful god of their
own right arm, a golden calf of their purse;
create a hideous heaven of the offspring of
their morbid soul and look upon the world
as their throne, like some tyrants of old
using the neck of poor mankind as a foot-
stool. He (Voltaire) was right who said:
" If God did not exist it would be necessary
to invent one."
We need a God to tell us "Thoti shalt not
worship idols; thou shalt not work thyself
and thy servants to death; thou shalt not
lie nor steal, nor murder, nor covet, nor ba
lewd, nor dishonor thy parents," or else we
would not know better. The barbarian
who lies, robs and kills for his own ad-
vantage, does not know better. No God
ever told him. Prudence may sometimes
guide him. He may bo honest when he is
the weaker, but not because he believes it
to be right to be so. God came down some-
where, at some time in some revelation,
wherever you choose to place it—I choose
to place it where ages have placed it, at
Mount Sinai—and told us those things
for our happiness. Who ever saw a
world happy without obedience to these
commands? La Place expresses the opin-
ion of' thinking men when he says:
" I have lived long enough to know what I
did not at one time believe—that no society
can be upheld in happiness and honor with-
out the sentiment of religion." Belief in
God who told us those truths is our creed,
and that creed, in combination with a con-
scientious practice of those commands, is
our religion. Who will deny such a reli-
gion an honored position in life?
The time has come when we must recog-
nize the intrinsic worth of religion; the good
it has done, is doing and can accomplish.
The time has come when the position of
true religion must be recognized. The
time is past when men could recliue on
their chairs and flippantly exclaim: " The
world is good enough; we need no reli-
gion." The world is good enough! Who
made it so? Who taught the world love
and goodness? Who taught the world what
is right and what is wrong? No courts of
justice. If so, who taught the court? N»
books. If so, who put it into those books?
It was the finger of God. Religion spoke
and the world learned the lessons of right
and wrong, the ideas of love and goodness.
Our greatest concern now is, not that the
world is good, but that it remain bo. It is
unworthy of a man to kick over
the cradle in which he was rocked, to throw
stones into a well from which he has drank
the elixir of life. It is unworthy of a man
to burn up the primer after he has learned
all he could therefrom. It iz unworthy of a
man to destroy the bridge after he has
crossed the stream; to pull up the ladder
after he has reached a place of safety.
What shall those do who come after him?
The infant morai world was rocked in the
cradle of Biblical stories; it drank the
elixir of its moral life from the fresh foun-
tains of revelation. Overthrow religion
and in what cradle of morality will future
generations be rocked, from what source
will 1be future child-man draw his moral
vitality? If there be no God, who will put
into his books the ideas of love and good-
ness? If there be no God, who will teach
his courts of justice the lessons of right
and wrong? We had need of a God. Lat
us keep that God for posterity.
Let no man confound religion with the
means to reach it. Let no man fail into
the grievous error of overthrowing the
grand er.d, because ho regards soma means
too simple for his advanced intellect. Let
him also not be driven from the holy end,
because some are unscrupulous enough to
choose questionable means. Such means he
may eschew, and, if his purpose be sincere,
still reach the end—religion. Let no nlan un-
derstand relieion to consist merely in pray-
ers and ceremonies, in blessings for births,
marriages and masses for the dead. These
may all be adjuncts of religion, but they do
not form its essence. Let no man represent
religion as a series of fictitious stories
about creation, origin of man, languages,
agriculture, etc. Let no man, furthermore,
seek to look for a conflict between science
and religion in the six-days creation, iu the
confusion of tongues, in the sun's staading
still. Such endeavors to cast a slur ou re-
ligion is unworthy of intelligence. Those
who will think, must understand the Bible
as a whole correctly, and rest content
with being unable to understand all. The
fault may not lie with that innocent book.
Religion'peers through tha Bible, whether
you call it fiction, parable, poetry, history,
fact, or all combined. Truth lies there en-
shrined. Pick out that nugget from the
gold mine and dig further. You will
find love. Take it. You will find good-
ness. Take it. You will find justice. Take
it. You will find mercy. Take it. You
will find pardon for your sins, a guide to
betterment, the road to happiness, a pro-
mise for goodly life—an eternal home in
heaven, bliss—Paradise. Take it. That is
religion. It came from God.
