A few years ago there was popu-
lar uprising against the River and
Harbor Bill in congresses to a great
extent this opposition was due to rail
road people and representatives of
those corporations. That railroad
companies have great influence in ma
tional as well as state legislation, there
is no questioning, and for this reason
alone we look with favor upon the bill
recently introduced into congress to
prevent any senator or member of the
house of representatives from receiv-
ing pay or appearing, in cases for rail-
road corporations. That is a move in
the right direction. fla man wishes
to practice law let him do so; but if
he prefers to represent the people in
their national deliberations, let him
forego his private interest.

AN earnest effort has been made to
get an appropriation for improving
the depth of the Mispillion and it has
been remembered bya recommends
tion of S5s,OOO Now it must be re-
membered that a recommendation is
not an appropriation. and that it will
require more earnest work to get the
money. With even $4,000 work
could be commenced upon the jetty at
the creeks mouth, and with the aid Of
a steamer (which will soon be an as
sured fact the subsequent appropria-
tions will soon be obtained.

WHEN we speak of earnest work as
necessary to have the general govern
ment appropriate the money needed
to open up our water navigation so
that it may afford regular and cer-
tain means Of marketing our produce,
what do we mean? Do we mean that
every merchant must take shovel
and do some kind of manual labor ?
Do we mean that every farmer must
by sweat and toll of the body do some
wonderful act? Oh no. We simply
mean that you must remember to talk,
to write, to urge by earnest argument
the representatives who are in position
to assist this scheme. No matter how
humble your position, letter to your
representatives in the National Con-
gress viii be impressive. Write, talk
and act in this matter, and the things
done. Another suggestion we desire
to make on this subject, viz in
this rapid age everything is in a
name. The old word "creek" is all
right with the people of the Atlantic
slope, where our waterways are deep
and sluggish but its significance to a
western man is rather ridiculous. To
him "ereelxn is a small stream that
may be dry in the summer; where the
growing grass affords good pasture,
and in the winterit may be roaring
torrent Only rivers have any nlajes-
ty for our western congressman, Now
to meet this local pref udice against
our waterways, we suggest that the
next session of. our legislature be pc
tisioned to change the name Of our
AIispillion Creek to "Mispillion Riv-
er." With this more deep sounding
namelargeramounts may be obtained,
and even this may be termed working
for the improvement of our water

enough to witness the need of a new

THE Society for Prevention of Cru
city to Children has been the means
of teaching two wholesome lessons to
citizens of Milford. To that element
which had imbibed the idea, that
their home was their castle aud that
no law would be enforced, have been
taught that disturbing the public
peace either in public or private, will
not be tolerated. To another class,
whose eshiftlessness and dislike of work
had sunk their self-respect so low, that
their children were sent out to beg and
steal, this Society has taught the inn
portant lesson that even their own of.
spring will be taken from the filth,
and immoral surroundings Of their
homes, unless they make earnest eff
Ort to train their children up to be
moral and law-abiding citizens. The
two lessons of the last twelve months
have and will yet bear good results.
The idea has been general that the
laws of our land are o f no account, be-
cause no one would enforce them but |
that error, with only few more well |
directed visitations of the stern majes-
ty of the law, will make new era in |
law and order in this end Of the state
