OO0,O0 This would involve an annual
expenditure, for six years, of SIG. 000, 600
to SIS. 100000.
Perhaps the most instructive fea-
ture of the entire subject, and one
which should arrest the attention Of
the masses, is the statement of
Senator Window, as to the manner in
which this annual expenditure may be
met. He afirms in open Senate that
economy in the public service would
save nearly the entire sum each year.
He is the Republican Chairman of the
committee, which is composed of six
Republicans to three Democrats, and
is doubtless supported in this view by
the majority of the committee. He
suggests two other modes, the issue of
improvement bonds, or increased taxa
ton, but does not think either viii be
necessary, evidently dependingon econ
omy alone. The people viii be apt to
decide that, whether Congress inaugu-
rates thesevarious improvements or not,
the twenty millions a year spoken of
must and shall be preserved from Rad
ical vampires.

NAsHVILLE's MOST URGENT NEED.

We present elsewhere the text of a
bill now pending before the City Coun-
ell, which projects one of the most nee
essary and important features of mu-
nicipal concern, and challenges the
thoughtful attention of that body, and
of the community. Indeed, it embraces
a subject which daily and hourly COM
pels consideration, and on which, every
year in the history of the city, more
imperatively demands that some action
having the clements of permanency and
foresightedness should be taken. The
measure now offered presents to
the City Government a scheme by
which a City Hospital may be estab-
lished, commensurate with the needs
of the population-capable of being
extended when future necessities may
require-and on the best possible terms
as to cost and economy of management,

In uggesting that restoration of
the tax on tea and coffee would produce
about twenty millions of revenue per
aunum, to devote to the improvement
of transportation routes, Senator Win
dom stated that the repeal of the tax
in question a few years ago, has caused
but little if any reduction in the cost
of those articles to consumers. Such
is the tendency of taxation. Revolu-
tons, it is said, never go backward,
and it is seldom that the cost of arti-
cles once enhanced by taxation, return
to the old level Taxation increases
the price instantly, but repeal is slow
in its effect. The masses have become
accustomed to the high price, and con-
tinue to pay it, often in Ignorance of
the repeal, and with no means of en-
forcing a commensurate reduction.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.


The conclusions reached by the Senate
Select Committee on Transportation
Routes after several months investiga-
ton of tnesubiect, have been submitted
to Congress and the country. Among
other powers they claim that Congress
may. in the exercise of the right of en-
inent domain, take for the public,
paying Just compensation therefor, any
existing railway or canal owned by pri-
vate persons or corporations. Their
practical recommendations all hinge on
the fact that the surest way to cheaper
Transportation is to take advantage of
the facilities ready furnished by ma
ture, j. e., water routes. First IN
order, they urge the improvement
of the Mississippi, at an estimated cost
of sixteen million dollars. This is at
once the cheapest work they suggest
and the one that would relieve the
broadcast belt of country. Sectional
legislation has neglected the Mississippi
for now fourteen years, and this neglect
is one Of the causes of the widespread
distress and disaster attending the
present high tide. The old levees have
been neglected for years, and the Radi-
cal Legislature of Louisiana has given
a monopoly of their management to the
Levee Company, ring of fayorites
whose main study has been how
not to do it, so they might pocket
the tax. Thus the State funds to
keep the Mississippi within bounds and
improve its channel have, under Radi-
cal rule, gone the way of Wards ducks,
like our Mineral Home bonds, etc.
The Committee recommend three
other water routes, partly artificial; and
two of them may require short rail
roads to complete the connection. They
all look to an Atlantic outlet, the first
requiring a canal connection of the
Mississippi with the lakes by way of
Fox river in Wisconsin, utilizing the
lake chain and deepening the existing
New York canals. The cost of this
Northern route is given at nineteen
million dollars. The second, or CEN
trail route calls for deepening of the
Ohio and Kanawha rivers with canal
or railroad to tide water in Vir-
ginia This would cost from
fifty to eighty millions, according to
the length of railroad adopted. The
third, which is called the Southern
route, would be as much relief to the
West as either of the above. The cost
of connecting the Ohio and Tennessee
rivers with the Atlantic waters by canal
or railway. is given at thirty to thirty
five millions. The cost of all these i'm
provements, if railroad connections be
adopted, is estimated at Sl20,OO0,OOO,
