The Henncpin Canal scheme,


There are numerous schemes for reduc-
ing the surplus in the Treasury. Illinois
has one which to complete viii require
about 500. 600. 900. 1t is called the Henne-
pin canal scheme. John Logan and other
eminent statesmen are doing what they
can to yet the government to furnish the
money for it. The canal is to connect
Lake Michigan with the Mississippi
river. and is to be wholly within the
State Of Illinois. This Hennepin scheme
was pushed in Congress last session, and
an appropriation was obtained to have
the route surveyed. The report of the
survey Will be made to Congress next
winter. OF course another appropriation
will be asked to begin the work. The en-
gineers estimate that a canal, capable of
accommodating barges of $50 tons burden
will cost something over $S,OOO,OOO.
The estimates OF engineers, however, gen.
orally prove to be too low by One-half, and
besides. in this case, a much larger canal
than the one for which the estimates are
made Is desired. What claim there
is on the government to build a
canal across the State of Hill
nois is not easy to determine. If the
government Is going into the business of
constructing canals there are several of
far greater importance than the Hennepin
that ought to be built. We will mention
One-the Atlantic and Mexican Gulf
canal. Before any money is paid out of
the Treasury for canals, however, it would
be well to improve the natural waterways
Of the country. There is some authority
for this kind of work. There is none for
building a canal wholly within the bOr-
ders of a State.

A New Jute Machine.

Experiments are being made in New
Orleans with jute machine invented by
a resident of Kingston, Jamaica, which
are very satisfactory. The machine weighs
80 pounds and requires only half Of one
horse power to run it. 1t has a capacity
of $50 pounds Of clean fibre day. Larger
machines are made which will clean $50
pounds day. 1t is probable that the ma
chine will be so much of a sue
cess as to justify the planting
of jute on an extensive scale
Even if this machine is only partial sue
cess, the time Is not distant when a ma
chine will be invented that will answer
every purpose. The problem to be solved
is not greater than that which was solved
by the inventors OF the cotton gin and the
moving and reaping machines. 1t is no
ticed that nothing has been heard of the
$1,000 prize offered by ex-COngress-
man George West for bale of
machine prepared jute that would
compare with India jute in quality
and price. 1t was stated that the
competitors were TO exhibit their bales of
jute at Vicksburg during the recent meet
ing Of the National Cotton Planters
Association. The President Of the
association was authorized to act as judge
and to award the prize, if in his judgment
the prize was won. Probably there were
no exhibits. The jute industry is begin
ming TO assume Importance, and it is pre-
dicted that before many years jute will be
ranked along with cotton, sugar and rice
as a great Southern product.

points in the speakership Contest.

Points in the SpeakershIp contest
A remarkable thing in the speakership
contest-if special reports are to be cred
ited-Is that the arrival Of members thus
far in Washington verifies Mr.. Carllsle's
count. He has not, it seems, made mis-
take with regard to a single member. All
claimed by him Of those who have arrived
have acknowledged their allegiance 10
him. This affords reasonable ground 1or
believing that his figures will prove 10 Oe
correct when the caucus meets. He has
not hesitated to state his strength at
any time since the contest began.
In this respect he has pursued
a course somewhat different from that OF
Mr., Randall and Mr.. Cox. Those gentle
men have contented themselves with as
sorting that they would be elected. An
other noticeable thing in the contest IS
that Mr.. Carlisle is not making any par
ticuIar effort to secure additional support.
He is simply trying to hold what he has.
Mr. Randall is making all the noise, and
his friends are doing what they can to help
him.
Mr.. RandalFs management Of his can
Yass shows his weakness. II he mas enough
votes pledged to him to give him the nOmi-
nation, why is he and his lieutenants
talking about the danger to the Demo-
cratic party Of putting a Southern man
in so prominent a position, and insisting
that the business men of the country will
throw their influence against the Demo-
cratic party if Carlisle is elected Speaker:
He Is merely trying to stampede,
as it were, Carlisle's supporters. His
purpose is to make the Southern
men believe, if he can, that there is no
hope Of Democratic success in the ma
tional contest unless he is elected Speak
er and his views relative to the tariff
adopted. We do not believe that the
Randall scheme Will succeed. The South
ern members understand the situation
about as well as Mr.. Randall does.

regularity. but the party that can secure
the independents by better nominations

Yamacraw street improvements.


The committee on opening and widen
Ing streets in Yamacraw have made con-
siderable notifications in the plans as set
forth in the ordinance providing for the I'M
urovements. Joachim street will not be
increased in width, except where it is ex-
tended west Of Farm street, and the
widening will be on the south instead of
on the north side as first proposed.
Indian street Will be opened to Water
street, which is new thoroughfare, eX-
tending north and south parallel with
Ogcechee canal.
The committee have not decided whether
they will widen Canal street, the opening
Of Indian street doing away with the ne
cessity for it. This improvement, how
ever, may be recommended, provided it
can be done without cost to the city. The
estimated cost o. the Improvements Is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The MORNING News called attention
Just after the fire, when the question Of
opening the streets was under discussion,
u "A plan suggested by the Mayor and
several members of the Council. 1t was to
widen Indian street lane. This thorough
fare leads directly from Bay street to the
canal bank, and by taking off the lots on
either side-there not being a single
house in the way-or by taking in the mar
row strip Of land between Mill street and
Indian street lane, a wide thoroughfare,
which would accommodate all the traffic
for hundred years, would be
made. such a street would be mar
rover at its juncture with West Broad
street than is desirable, but traffic at this
point would ind outlets through Ann,
Olive and Bryan streets, until arrange
memts could be made to purchase part
Of the property on the corner of West
Broad and Joachim streets. An improve
ment Of this kind would accomplish all
that it IS possible to accomplish by widen
ing and opening the streets now under
consideration.

Dividing the Work.

The Senate Committee on Rules have
prepared several new rules. They are
such rules rs are needed for the govern
ment OF the Senate or 10 facilitate the
transaction Of business. 1t is probable
that all Of them VIII be adopted. There IS
one Of them-that providing a committee
TO take charge Of river and harbor ieglsla-
tion-in which the entire country IS IN
terested. Ii NAV be that Congress did not
intend 10 uass O river and harbor bill
last session. Whether il did or
not. the reason given by the SEN
ate for refusing 10 consider the
river and harbor bill sent It by the
House was that its Committee on Com
merce did not have time to consider 1t. 1t
j. true the bill reached the Senate Com
mittee late in the session, and If II had
been reported back to the Senate 1t would
have been without such revision
Is would have been satisfactory to
either the committee or the Senate.
The Commerce Committees OF the
House and Senate have more
matters referred TO them than they can
satisfactorily attend to. This question Of
importance that il alone Will require
good part Of the committees time. Then
there are other important matters-the
merchant marine. the life saving service,
the shipping and light houses-Over which
the committees have jurisdiction. To pre-
pare "a river and harbor bill re-
quires weeks Of constant work. the
Representatives Of every state interested
in the bin want tC be heard. and very
often special delegations are accorded
hearing. The river and harbor bill next
session must necessarily be large. There
was no appropriation last session and the
public works Of the country will soon be
be at stand still for want Of
money to carry them on. To frame
a lin that viii be 80 just and fair
that il cannot De successfully attacked,
and which. at the same time. viii give
% every public work Of the country just
what it is entitled TO and no more, will
require both time and labor. When the
time comes we shall insist upon a liberal
appropriation for continuing the improve
ment Of the Savannah river and other
rivers in this State and Florida. We
want very liberal appropriations and
there Is no reason why we should not
/ have them.
The money already spent on the sayan-
nah river has been productive of the best
results. When the plan Of the improve
ment is completed the largest vessels will
/ be able 10 reach our wharves without
delay. The House no doubt will adopt
/ a rule similar TO that reported by the
T Senate committee. The Commerce Com
mittees are. perhaps. the hardest worked
/ committees Of Congress. 1t is time they
7 were relieved of a part Of their burden.
