IN Interesting Table.

On the o5th ult, the Hon joins MOORE Treas
the senate laid before that body the following
list Of counties, and amount Of money paid to
each under the act Of 1887, to establish and
maintain a general system OF internal improve
ments'" This money, it mus. be understood
was paid, in plain words, rs hush n,oneu, to such
counties as were not either traversed or al least
bordered, by railroad or canal about to be COM
mcnced under that act The table presents hu.
initiating picture Of legislative folly, and contains
a lesson that deserves to be needed now. What
advantage did those counties reap from this mag
nihcent gift What has our ueighbor Putnam to
show for her slo62s4ol If that legislature
had pursued straight forward and independent
course; had eschewed "log.rolling," that most
baneful and accursed system Of swndlng, and in.
stead of attempting to satisfy all parties, had
picked out one measure, and one which on mature
deliberation, should have seemed the most impor-
tant one, and concentrated all its energies on that
until Completed then taken up the next import
ant, and so on, cosfning their plans within their
means, what chain Of important Improvements
might We not have completed by this time, and
what immense means for prosecuting new works.
The honey adage applies to states as well as in
dvidual., 81, is not good to have too many irons
in the fire.
We have no doubt, in the thousand and one
railroad schemes, plank road projects DC DC,
now ngtated before our legislature, there will a
gain be frequent resort had to the logrolling sy.
tenn, but every measure that needs such aid
should be defeated. Any work Of unequivocal
utility always can stand on its own merits; and
any other deserves 10 be defeated. We hope, at
least TINT the moral force Of the annexed list
will be strong enough to proven. the voting

Improvement of the River

BY reference TO Thursdays Jan ESD proceed
ings Of the Legislature, it will be that that
day Mr. Hise introduced in the House bill for the
improvement of the Illinois river, so as to make
this point the head OF steamboa navigation. The
tendency of this measure will be, greatly to bene
nj all the north and eastern parts Of the county, by
giving them a more steady market. In view Of
the advantages thus arising to the farmers in those
town from this Improvement the bill provides for
the levying ola tax proportional according To the
vicinity of the towns to this point. Thus, on 0tta
wa and South Ottawa it assesses 1 mills on the
dollar; on Utica. Deer Park, Rutland, Dayton,
Grand Rapids, Farn Ridge, Bruce, and Brook
field Il mills, and on Serena, Mission Manlius,
Eagle, Adams, Earl Worthwhile, Freedom and
Waltham, a mills. All these towns will be more
or less benefited by this work aud rs far as We
have conycrsed with their citizens We are con
WINGED that the measure will be flvorably re-
garled BY them None Of these towns, however
will be obliged to come into the arrangement
without a majority of the voters of the town de-
clarng themselves in favor of it at the ballot box
1t will also be seen that bill has been intro
duced in the senate by Mr. Reddck authorizing,
the canal trustees to lease the water power ere.
ated by the Fox River Feeder at this place, and
another to dam Fox River between the bridge
and acqueduct for milling purposes. Taking adj
vantage of all these Improvements, in connection
with bridge across the Illinois River the North.
crn Plank Road, and our chances in the great
railroad lottery, aud Ottawa ranks as one Of the
most favored localities in this part of the state
Another year will place us in position where
we can compete successfully with all our neigh
bering towns in the purchase Of all kinds Of pro
duce, which will open market here not even
surpassed by Chicago. The energy and enter
prize which has been sleeping for years, is now
waking up in the vgor of youth and fast wiping
the stain Of Incidence off our character The
proftableness If all these Improvements is so
obvious that capital stands ready to be invested
the moment it can be dons un Ter the proper pro
tcc:ion Of law We are informed that there is
already nearly enough money subscribed to build
free bridge acros the Fox River at the acQue-
duct, which will settle all dissatisfaction which
might arise among the farmers between the Fox
and Illinois rivers by destroying tuer ford at
that point, BY the contemplated dam.
