The surest traquilzer of the nerves is a

Our esteemed contemporary, the newsy
Herald ofTrinity, La, in the course Of an
editorial regarding our publication last
week Of q comparison in freight rates be-
tween the New Orleans boats and the st..
Louis boat, David R. Powell, propounds to
us this questions, which we will attempt to
answer and then drop the subject: "Why
is it that the steamer D. X. Powell could
load at st. Louis for Ouachita river
What is the cause Of it?"
We answer: Because st. Louis house
has an agent who works like beaver, and
when he has from 500 to 800 tons of freight
ordered, his house finds it cheaper and
more convenient to charter boat than to
send the freight via New Orleans to be re-
shipped there.
The other query, "Whether, by high rates
in New Orleans, or both?" must be
answered by some one else. The Hanna,
we believe, has q carrying capacity Of 400
tons. Hence, if she could get full load
each trip, it would pay very we'll. That's
the difference, and, with this explanation,
we drop the subject.

THE CONGRESS-, THE LOTTERIES
AND THE PRESS.

The House Committee on POst-Offices
and Post Roads has instructed Chairman
Blount to report favorably bill to pro-
hibit the mailing of any letter, circular or
writing concerning lottery or gift enter
prise or any paper containing an adver-
tisement of any lottery or information
regarding its drawings. Violations of these
provisions are made, misdemeanors, pun
ishable By fine and imprisonment.
The enactment of such law will mater
tally affect the income of many of our
esteemed cotemporaries, especially in New
Orleans, besides restricting the Louisiana
Lottery to very narrow channel of COM
munication with its patrons outside Of that
city.
Such law might not be any restriction
on the freedom OF the press, as constitu-
tionally guaranteed, but it is very nearly
equivalent to saying, with the force of
law, what shall, or what shall not be inser-
ted as an advertisement in a newspaper.
In any view, it is quite clear that to the
extent of the use of its postal facilities,
this proposition carrying, the General
Government claims the right of censor
ship over even the business columns of the
newspapers of the country, and may as
logically extend this espionage beyond
lottery advertisements to any other class Of
advertisements, and without Limitation, for
whore is the line to be drawn?
If either fraud, or immortality, or both
be given as the groundwork of this claim,
its enforcement for these causes will
amount simply to famine among news
papers, since there is hardly an advertise
ment published nowadays which is not
pregnant with one or the other, or Of both,
of these pestilent germs.
In the moral or social point Of view, there
are tons of circulars, letters and advertise
ments that run along the swift current of
the mails, of infinitely greater baseness and
far more debauching than the advertise
ments oflotteries. Thus, why not retire
the "Retired Clegyman." the "Civiale
Agency" the venders Of poisonous patent
medicines-advertisers here mentioned
simply as three Illustrations os three hun
dred thousand no better-by enacting that
any newspaper inserting their "tavors"
shall be tabooed and knocked out of any
post office in which it seeks to be mailed?
Where is the Police Gazette and Life in
Chicago, and what are they doing to help
morals, orggoed government along?
II Congress is to act III thhiis. matter-and
it cannot hurt the TELEGRAPH in the line
it is advancing on-let the bloody work be
thorough, effectual and impartial, and not
call halt at lotteries.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

In 1871 the improvements, SO called, on
the Ouachita river were begun, since which
time they have been kept up, more or less,
at total cost to the United States of $685.
600. Now, We ask, what benefit has this
river received from this large sum, and
what kind of work has been done?
Since 1928, nearly million and a-half of
dollars haye been appropriated for Red
river, 1861 900 OF this sum having been ex-
pended in the removal of the "Great Raft.
Since 1881, the sum of $4,000 has been
appropriated for improving Bayou Bar
tholemew. We ask again, what improve
ments have been made in that stream3
If Congress in making appropriations for
improving the rivers would place the
appropriations in the hands of honest, con-
cientious steanboatmen to disburse, the
beneficial results would soon be apparent,
as it is to the interest of these mon to make
the appropriations go as far as possible,
and they would use the money only where
they saw that the greatest amount of good
to the greatest number of people could be
accomplished. AS we have heretofore said,
these steamboatmen are directly interested,
and hence would give the matter the very
closest attention.

General Manager Finney. of the Wisconsin

likeness to all doing business with US, and by

we are all dependent upon the public, who look

The trunkline pool seems to have got on
to solid basis. and the handsome earnings of
the several roads in the pool leads to the belief
that the pool agreement will last for another
year, unless some one of the contracting COM
panies gives notice of withdrawal on or before
the LIST of October. As yet there is no indica-
ton that the trunk lines are displeased with
their arrangements for mutual protection, al
though reports have been current for several
days that Chicago east-bound shipments have
been carried at cut rates. The Lake Shore road
has been accused of participating in the cut
but its officials strenuously deny the foul asper
sion One theory of the cuts which have I'M
doubtedly been made, is that the Lehigh Valley
company, which is outside the pool and untram-
meled by obligations, has been the delinquent
The only remedy for this would be to induce the
Lehgh Valley to join the pool This company
wants line cars in which to ship anthracite coal
20 the West, and has not been particular about
the rates on east-bound traffic, knowing that it
can sell its coal and get the cars back without
paying trackage. and thus make asproft where
other roads would be working at a loss. =

The Situation Improving.

AT the locomotive works in Paterson, N. j.,
at the Brooks locomotive works, and also at the
Baldwin locomotive works there is now more
activity than at any time in the last four years
AT the latter establishment they have just COM
pleted and shipped an engine numbered 5000.
The first locomotive built at their works was
turned out in December, 1892 and it took twenty
years, until November, 1852. to build 500 engines
The second 500 were built in eight years. No
1000 being finished February, 1860. The next
six years saw the third 500 built, No 1,500 leav-
ing the shop July, 1866. The fourth 500 were
built in three years, by October 30, 1869; the
fifth 500 in two years; and the sixth and seventh
500 each in one year, engine No. $500 leaving
November 20, 1873. Business then slackened,
three years being required to build the next 500,
and two years the following 500, engine No, 1850
leaving December IL, 1878. Then trade i'm
proved, 500 engines being built in fifteen months.
and 1000 more engines in twenty-five months,
while 500 more engines were finished in ten
months, No. $500 leaving December g. 1882 and
marking half century for the works. The next
eight months saw 500 more built, and before the
close of 1884 No. $500 was turned out Work
slackened, and nineteen months were required
for the final 500 locomotives. No. 5000 having
just left the establishment.
