Estimates for Rivers and Harbors.
The chief of engineers, it seems, esti-
mates that an appropriation OF 500, 100000
will be required at the next session OF
Congress for rivers and harbOrs. 1t is
probable that this sum includes the
amount required for the Mississippi river.
! Already some OF the New York papers
| have begun to talk about that annual
river and harbor job" They can be de-
pended upon TO oppose the river aud
/ harbor bill, even though 1t should appro-
| pirate a very moderate sum.
They are in the interest OF the railroads
which lead from the West and South to
New York. They object to improving the
waterways Of the country because bust
ness may be diverted from New York.
With deep water from st. Louis to New
Orleans very largs part Of the grain
that now reaches the seabOard at New
York would reach it at New Orleans
The railroads would not be able to com.
pete with the Mississippi river.
There is reason to think that the time is
not distant when great deal of Western
grain will find its way TO Europe by way
OF Savannah. All that is needed is deep
water in our river, and that will be OBJ
tanned in the very near future il Congress
will make the appropriations necessary
to complete the Improvement that Is now
far advanced, and which is bound to do
all that is expected of it.
The haul from portions OF the West is
much shorter to this port than to New
York or Baltimore, and for that reasoD,
II for no other. it will be utilized
by exporters Of grain as soon as the river
improvements, now in progress, make it
practicable for grain ships of the deepest
draft to come here.
OF course the hostility of the New York
press to a river and harbor bill is to be
expected but the motive Of that hostility
is so well understood that it is not to be
feared very much. The greatest danger
that the bill Will encounter will be, prob
ably, its size. Members hesitate to vote
for large bill because large river and
harbOr bills have always been unpopular
If the next River and I1arb0r Commit
tee is wise it will put the appropriation
for the Mississippi river in separate bill.
In that way the Mississippi river will get
what it wants, and the opposition TO the
regular river and harbor bill will not be
SO strong but that it will be easily over
come. If, however, the mistake is made
Of putting the Mississippi river apprOpri-
alton In the river and barbor bill the
chances are that the bill will meet the
same fate that the last river and harbor
bill met,

The Danger of Corrupt Commits
sion.


During the discussion in the Senate
Tuesday OF the bill to amend the railroad
commission law it was said that the time
might come when the people would be as
anxious to get rid of the commission as
the railroads now are TO limit the com
missions extraordinary powers.
There need be no hesitation IN saying
that there have never been any suspicious
Of the integrity Of the present commits
sion. 1t is probable that no attempt has
ever been made to corruptly influence its
( action upon any matter, and it is only
/ just to say that there is no reason to think
that it would have been successful if it
had been made. The commission has,
doubtless, made mistakes, and it has pur-
sued policy that has crippled the rail
roads and checked railroad building,
but no one can say that ITS
motives have at any time been
bad. But who can say that the time
may not soon come when the commission
Will be composed Of men who will be the
tools Of the railroads, and when the rail-
roads viii be managed by those who VIII
not hesitate TO get, by corrupt means
what they cannot get by fair meansy If
the people of California were glad to be
rid Of their commission, is 1t not probable
the people OF this State will some time
have a commission which they Will be
glad 10 get rid of? Ia the changes that
are certain TO take place 1t is not certain
that the commission will always Cypress
the railroads. 1t may Cypress the peo-
pie, and II it does il will be Influenced to
do 40, probably, by corrupt means. a
corrupt commission would make the PEG
pie wish that such an institution had
never been created.
A great mistake was made when the
commission was clothed with such ex-
traordinary powers. 1t is mistake that
is generally aeknow lodged. Why not.
then, rectify it? Let the people and the
railroads have the right to appeal to the
courts when they think they have good
ground for complaint The courts can
always be trusted. Let the railroads have
the management of their own business,
and let the commission be clothed with
power to hear complaints, ana to see that
there are no unjust determinations.

The Business situation.

Each week there are new indications of
an improvement in the condition of bust
ness. There is a more hopeful feeling
among merchants this week tnan there
was last, and it is the general belief that
this feeling will increase.
1t is not expected that business viii
revive with a "boom,' as It were, but that
il will show gradual improvement from
day to day. The decline OF business was
gradual, and its revival, doubtless, will
be gradual.
Merchants in about all the chief com
mercisl cities are reported as saying that
since the beginning of September their
sales have been encouraging, and that
they think they see signs Of much better
business In the next two or three weeks.
1t is noticeable that there is increasing
activity in the iron trade. Mills that
have been shut down for long time are
preparing to begin operations again.
Prices Of both steel and iron have adj
vanced, and the market for these articles
is much 1rmer than it was a little while
back.
Manufacturers of cotton and wooden
goods exhibit much more confident feel
ing than they did during the summer.
They talk about fair fslps business.
In the South the promise OF good crops
has helped business greatly. Merchants
have bought rather freely because they
expect a greater demand than fer several
years past. II the crops 90 not prove 10

ceiyed Tor them, business will come well

They Ought to be in Better Bust
ness.

1t is great pity that such prominent
men as Messrs. Sherman and Foraker are
/ devoting their talents to stirring up sec
tional feeling. They know, probably, bet
| ter than most of their constituents, that
! the negro question in the South is being
gradually settled, and that time alone
can settle it satisfactorily TO all
parties. The negro was given
the ballot by the Republican party
when the wisdom of doing so was ques-
! toned even by some of the wisest men of
that party.
IL is not necessary to refer to what the
white people of the South endured from
this policy of the Republican party-a
policy which had for its object, not the
good of the negro, but the perpetuation of
the power OF that party. The story is
too long and too full OF bitter
recollections. Those times have
passed away, we hope never
| to return. The two races are now living
| together harmoniously, and those who at

that existed In the South in the early days

however, 10 intrust those who are living
in the South with its solution. They will
probably meet with greater success
than those who live In another
section Of the country, and who know
very little about the condition of affairs
in tho South. Messrs. Sherman and
Foraker are not particularly concerned
about the negro. Their purpose is not to
help him in any way. They are simply
| trying to arouse feeling against the
South with a hope OF benefiting their
party. 1t must be admitted that they
are not engaged in a very creditable bust

southern CannInc Factories

There are five factories on the Gulf
coast between New Orleans and Mobile
engaged in canning oysters, shrimp, etc.
1t is said that they have all prospered
from the very day they began operations.
They find sale for their goods in the South
western States, and it is said that they
have driven the Baltimore oysters out OF
that section, as they can afford to under
sell the latter and furnish an excellent
quality of goods. Their experience is
that they can put up the canned oyster
and shrimp much cheaper than 1t can be
done in the North, and practically there is
no end TO the season, as the cold and ice
never interferes with the work, or the
taking of the raw materials from the
inlets and bays along the coast.
There is no doubt that canning factories
would be equally as profitable ON the
South Atlantic as they are on the Gulf
coast. If a ready market can be fur
nIshed by the canning factories for oys-
ters, shrimp, ETC., the prosperity of our
coast country can he greatly increased.
The systematic planting Of oysters would
insure an inexhaustible supply of the
finest quality of these biyalves. Many
species Of fish as we'll as fish roe might
also be canned to advantage.
No doubt the canning of fruits and veg
etables could be done as cheaply here as
at the North. 1t seems that our South
ern people are slow to take hold of this
business. 1t large6 factories cannot be
