The Mississippi River Bill.

The Importance Of improving the naViga.
OF the Mississippi river is being very gem
orally recognized Even in Massachusetts
this great work has its friends and advo-
Gates The Springfield Republican, one of
the ablest journals in New England, has
this to say of it,
THE Mississippi river is certain in time
to play part in regulating transcontinent-
al freight transportation not unlike that of
the Erie canal in relation to the New
York railroads, The block in through
freight on all the east and west
roads threatened last week to set
back to ST. Louis, but it was relieved there
by starting the corn and wheat down the
river, from 300 to 400 cars at time being
loaded on barges. As travel developes and
navigation improves, it is plain this must
become more and more common, and
through rail rates will some day be fixed
by the competition Of the Mississippi on
which navigation is never closed"
The argument here presented in be-
HaIl vi lHC lul Improvement vi tue SICdt
river is new, but it is logical and strong.
The Republican looks into the future and
sees that the schemes for extortion OF
powerful railroad corporations will be
checked by making the Mississippi river
an outlet to the seaboard for the rapidly
increasing products of the west. AS the
Erie canal, says the Republican, regulates
the freight rates from the west to the east
so the Mississippi river will regulate the
rates Of freight from the west to the south
ern seaboard. This way of stating the
case shows more clearly than any other
how vast the interests are which will be af-
fected benefcially by the improvement OF
the Mississippi river navigation. 1t is to
be hoped that congress will give Gen. Glib
sons bill on this subject the early and ia.
vorable consideration which its Importance
deserves.

THE FUNDING BILL.
Though the funding bill was not taken
up in the house to-day, yet in one sense
very substantial progress was made with
the measure, for despite the factious threats
of flibustering made yesterday by the
greenbackers and others the house to-day
with less than half dozen dissenting votes,
decided to limit general debate on the bill
to one day. This action assures reasonably
prompt disposition of the subject after the
holiday recess.
