IMPROVEMENT OF THE MIS-.
SISSIPPI.
THE ADVANTAGES OF NAVIGATION BY
THIS ROUTE.

The Mississippi and its tributaries
drain a vast area of the most produc-
tive country on the American con-
tinent. There never was a time when
the vast agricultural and commercial
interest of the communities in these
valleys, and the country lying contig-
uous to it, demanded a pathway to
the sea, at all times open and unob-
structed, every day in the year, more
than the present time. The great age
improvements has passed it by only
to the building of railroads along the
banks and spanding them with
bridges, to impede what navigation
was possible, until the railroads have
a monopoly, and doubtless had an eye
to what the future might unfold in
cheap transportation by water, and
before it could be realized would
checkmate it.
The commerce of this vast area of
country must seek more favorable and
cheaper rates, as the profit is being
eaten up by moaopolies. The ex-
pertinent of the last few years is de-
monstrating the fact. The system of
ietties, break-water and slack-water
navigation and other improvements
all tend to load the produce Of the
country into ships, which will carry
it to European ports.
We hope to see the people wake up
and ask Congress to make the neces-
sary appropriations, and protect the
neople of those rich valleys and may
we soon see the day when ships can
nav;oate the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, carrying the wealth Of those
valleys frst-handed to foreign ports

THE NEXT SPEAKER OF CON
GRESS.

There has been considerable dick
ering and much solicitude manifested
on the subject oforganizing the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives of
the next Congress, which is likely to
commence with an extra session, to
be assembled probably in the ap-
preaching month of June. No doubt
there has been and still will be efforts
made to subsidize that body and
cajole the Democratic majority there
into the election of a Speaker in har-
mony with the Administration. The
object of this would be to secure COM
mittees, many subalterns and all ex-
traordinary officials in the interest of
the government for the formation of
the contemplated new Hayes party,
as proposed by War Secretary Thomp-
son in his noted conversation, of a
week or two ago, with a newspaper
reporter, or to drive back Morton,
Chandler, Blaine, Butler, and other
revolving malcontents, into the ranks
Of the Radical party.
Nothing would be more suicidal
than such policy. We fairly won the
Presidency in the late election, and
frittered that away by tampering with
Radicalism. Let us make no more
such blunders. We hold the MAORI
ty in the House, and to perpetuate
Democratic supremacy, must main
tain it. This can only be done by
close discipline. IT'S true that the
opposition is weakening and giving
way before us. But we must not
-ola~ nnr efforts. Forward, onward,
Speaker is essential to success in
future political conflicts as well as in
working out measures of reform. We
mean a DemOcrat-nOt a trimmer, a
tide-waiter or a charlatan-one who
is every inch a man, apd will so Or
ganize his committees and conduct
business affairs as to unite the De-
mocracy, consolidate its action, har-
monte its various parts and make il
effective and irresistible in its general
movements. He should also come
from the West, the central West and

ANOTHER RING-MASTER UP
THE SPOITT

operators in California has lately come
to grief. For some years past a tall,
powerful, keen, speculative man,
named F~riedlander, has controlled the
wheat market in San Francisco, in
collision with certain railroad mana
gers, who have assisted him and have
shared the profits of his robberies,
helping him to charter all the wheat
carrying vessels that come to Cali.
fornia.
Large farmers and dealers in the
country would consign their grain to
him with the understanding that as
soon as it was shipped he vas to pay
for the same. He owes two SaI
Francisco banks the very snug
little sum of $500, 900, while his in.
debtedness to persons in the interior
of the State is beyond computation.
His creditors in the city, and some Of
the National banks, appear to be
amply secured. Those in the coun-
try are not SO well off. They hold
their claims against him, but, so far
as heard from, everything is out of
his hands SO completely and clearly
that his victims will realize nothing
but suffering and misfortune from
their confidence in this successful
plunderer and one of the agents of the
Money Power.
Ii will be in order now for Fried
lander to invest what he has accumu-
lated, by stealing, in United States
bonds and skip the country. Those
who are In favor of a hard money
basis should be satisfied hat they
hold notes against a man who had
gold in his pocket and promised to
pay. Had their loans been secured
"
to collect something. Fortunately
for himself, Friedlander did business
on a specie basis. He kept what gold
he had in his own possession, and be-
cause he had gold, farmers were will
ling to trust him with their wheat,
which was of itself portable property,
and which the eminent Spectator and
robber succeeded in running out of the
country, selling the same in foreign
countries, leaving farmers to hold
their notes against him. We think it
would have been better for the wheat
growers of California to have in this
country a sufficient amount Of Green
backs, legal tender lawful money, at
par with gold everywhere, SO that Mr..
Friedlander could have paid for the
wheat at the time he purchased. For
more than a year he has been telling
his customers that money was SO
scare that they must wait for it to be
brought back in return for their crops
making arrangements all the time
for making it still more scarce.
Nothing like having specie basis, or
having property on which credit is OBJ
tanned, and mounted on wheels OF
loaded on ships, so that it can the
more quickly be transported out o.
the country and beyond the reach Of
creditors. [-Pomeroy's Democrat.
