The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-01-25

The big excursion of merchants, manuiac-
turcrs and business men, from the leading
cities of the Mississippi Valley TO the City Of
Mexico. numbering some 800, we believe,
reached that city on the 10th, after pleasant
passage 10y steamer TO Vera Cruz, and thence
mainly 10y railroad To the City Of Mexico On
arriving at the depot in Mexico city they were
met and cordially received by Minister Foster
and the members of the Mexican cabinet, and
conducted 10 magnificent quarters at the Ytur-
bide and San Carlos hotels Since then, the
delegation seem 90 have been mainly busted

CANAL MEETINGS.

There seems TO be "A general waking up to
the danger o: the canal all along the line.
\ meeting is called at the board of trade
rooms, Peoria, on Thursday, January Both, at
which the interests of the Illinois and Michl-
gan are to be fully discussed and arrangements
made for a general canal convention at Spring
field.
A canal meeting is also called TO be held at
Peru on the Both inst; and another to be held
at Morris on the same day.
Our county has also appointed some 40 del
egatcs to attend grand canal mass convention
TO be held at Bloomington on the Both inst
The fact that all these important meetings
are called to be held on the same day is another
illustration of the somewhat unsystematic, hel-
ter sketcr management Of the business thus
far, though it also illustrates the widespread
and deep interest the subject cXcites. The gen
eral uprising" already manifested shows at
least that the vast extent of country interested in
the ditch will have no tri1ng with 50 lmpor-
tant an interest and that politicians inclined to
treat 1t with indifference or contempt may be
unconscously digging for themselves political
graves
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-01-25

Joliet has held several canal meetings lately,
but the great question of how to save the ditch
has each time been apparently 0ycrbornc by
the more immediate and pressing question,
how to get rid of the mulutudnOus Stinks
thrust upon Joliet by the waters of Chicago
river.
In reference to the canal at the last meeting,
the most important suggestions made were,
that the railroads should be restrained by more
rigid laws than any now in force to discnmn-
ate against the canal and that the farmers should
sell To the canal warehouses i'll preference
to the railroad dealers, though il might occas-
ionally cost them a cent or two bushcl. As
to the stink" question, Mr. Thomas told them,
very truly, that the only way under heaven to
re, rid Of that nuisance was Ia enlarge the ca
mai into a ship canal by making II two feet
deeper and one hundred feet wider, thus al
lowing water sewerage, stink and ail To pass
of freely. THIS will cost several millions of
dollars, but the eud will justify the mrans.
The state should take the first step, and the
national government, which 50 generously APP
propriates for internal Improvements, will
come To the reissue

NEW SENATORS,

Within the past week quite number Of |.
s Senators have been elected by the various
state legislatures.
New York returned Conkling to the senate
for years more he getting the full republican
vote in spite of all the efforts of Hayes and
Sherman to organize bolt.
Pennsylvania mcckly acknowledges is con.
tinued submission to the dominion of the clan
Cameron by returning Don Cameron To the
senate
Connecticut has dug up new statesman in
the person of q. II. Plat, who beat Joe lIaw
ley, though the latter had the support Of the
administration. And the great question re.
mains, Who in thunder is Plat?
In Wisconsin, the machine which Logan
manipulated so handsomely in Illinois dccreed
the election of Boss Kcyes, but Matt Carpen
ter Sacrcligously smashed it and secured his
own election.
In Indiana, after pretty warm contest the
democrats finally united on VOORHEES, both lor
the long and short term, and he was elected to
the [. :. Senate for both. The republicans
voted for Venezuela Or;h.
Missouri elected Gen. James Shields for The
short term until the Ith of March,, and Geo
G. Vest for the long term. Vest, like Plat Of
Connecticut, is statesman who has his record

noyed to death " by the persistent intrusion
INTO the White House of two crazy men, each
laboring under the hallucination that he has
been regularly elected president, and claiming
his right to take his seat One of them lives
at Badensburg, the old duelling ground but
four miles from the city; the other halls from
Pennsylvania, and Is at times so peremptory
in his demands AS really to scare poor Ruthy
The most unpleasant thing about it, and what
seems most to trouble his fraudulcncy is, that
in constitutional law, the two lunatics outside
have just as honest right to the Office as the
one inside, the only advantage in favor of the
latter being the nine points of possession.

Sam Carey's dolciul speeches last summer
about the depression Of the iron industry and
that so many furnace operatives were out of
employment, seems not to be borne out by the
published returns at the close Of the year. 1t
seems the iron and steel product for the year
netted 100000 tons, an amount never reached
in one year since 1872, when the aggregate
was "a round Million the highest ever reached
in this country. From present indications the
product for next year will exceed that Of the
q" tlushest times " heretofore There was also
