THE WAY 10 THE 11CEAl

~ = " ~ - SOAlR11A4AS4
From The Superior Inter Ocean.
The waterways convention to be.
held here August 9th will have before
1t for consideration several important
measures for the. general betterInent
Of the lake transportation interests.
The Hennepin canal, will be
brought up, the Bay de Noque
canal and the Niagara ship
canal. All these measures have
some merit in them The Hennepin
canal will make All excellent sewer
for Americas Corintf,, Chicago; the
Lake Superior and Red River canal
would land Dakota wheat in superior
for 5 cents per bnshel, aud drain
thousands of acres Of marsh lands;
the Bay de Noque canal would save
I'll miles on shipments from Lake
superior to Chicago, but is Of gues-
tionable wisdom; the Niagara ship
canal is measure Of such vast i'm
portance to the Northwest that il
might occupy the entire time of the
convention. The Buffalo aud New
York people are bitterly opposed tc
this measure. but its accomplishment
would make Of Chicago and Of
superior and Duluth, in fact. of every
port on the chain of lakes, ocean
ports, and save to the Northwestern
farmer the markets of Europe, out o.
which he is rapidly being driven by
the cheap competition of the Russian
and the East Indian producer. The
cost Of transportation and eleyatine
are one-half the cost Of the grain il
the Liverpool and Hamburg markets
and canal round Niagara Falls, cost
ing say s15,000,000, would be paid fol
out Of the first years crop passing
Through it.
! The North west cannot forever pa,
tribute to Buffal 10 for BuAalo's sake
| 1t must take care of itself. And til,
best way for it to accomplish that, il
to assist in providing free, deer
highway to the oceans that circle th'
Globe. Superior is the true exporting
and importing point for almos
one-fourth of North America, ant
Chicago for another fourth. VIII,
should they continue for all time tt
pay tribute to New York? Let tn
Northwest begin to lay the founda
tons for that commercial independence
which will make for her the mos
powerful portion of the United States
!, Let her demand immediate connectio,
:. by water with the outside world.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The bitter
personal attacks which have been
made on Senator Sabin by political
enemies and prejudiced newspapers
in relation to his recent divorce from
his wife, have had one good result ut
least. They have been the means Of
bringing out the real truth Of the
matter and having shown that Mr..
Sabin has been grossly maligned and
misrepresented. Your correspondent
is in possession of facts which not
only absolutely vindicate Senator
Sabin from all charges of ill-treating
his wife aud having forced her against
her will to enter the private asylum
at Flushing, but also 60 to prove, on
the testimony of his wife, that he is a
generous, kind-hcarted and long
suffering a man as ever trod the foot
stool Of the Creator. This evidence
is in the shape Of three letters written
by Mrs. Sabin to as many friends Of
hers in this city and are in reply tc
inquiries rs to the truth Of the charges
published against her husband.
The genuineness of the letters is amply
verified by persons here who know
her handwriting, and they will nc
doubt be given to the public later
They state conclusively that she wa:
placed in the asylum at her own re-
quest and that the grounds for divorce
which we're filed by the senator are
only too true. She says further that
the half has not been told, and that
Mr.. Sabin is bearing in silence the
odiun Of these attacks to shield hel
from further shame. These letter!
are filled with expressions of gratitude
to her husband for the kindness ant
love he has always shown her. Mrs
Ssbin bitterly denounces the asser
ton that she was forced into til,
asylum and says that its publication
is a positive injury to her as sh,
desires to remain there and tn,
authors will be obliged to ask he
withdrawal, rather than be considered
as. accomplices to the plot, in cas-
these charges are not denied. Mr.
Sabin was in Washington last week
but was seen by only few. Al
acquaintance who saw him said tina
he refused to say word in his OWL
defense. II will lose my good RICH
arm first, twas all he said, and, grea
strong man that he is, he cried like
child. He is a broken-hcarted man

THE COMING WATERWAYS
CONVENTION.

Pioneer Press: The waterways
convention, which will meet in Super
Tor, Wis, on Aug. 6, should take
warning from the course of some pre-.
vious conventions Of this kind and
NOT attempt to diffuse its thought over
too wide an area. Judging from
limitations, it would seem that there
will be a strong temptation to mis-
place energy. There are certain
rational lines of thought and dis
cussion which the convention can
profitably follow, such as artificial
aids in navigation between Lake
Superior and tidewater Oh the St.
Lawrence river. That is subject
closely interesting to the Northwest,
which wants the most ample facilities
Of a Northern seaboard route, already
so advantageous to Northwestern in
terests. The improvement Of the
navigation Of the Mississippi river is
another topic which is always open
and inviting practical discussion. St.
Paul, for instance, wants to preserve
the integrity Of and amplify the bene-
fits Of the 1910 miles of steamboat
navigation southwark to New Orleans
and 1913 miles eastward by the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers to Pitts
burg. It is eminently desirable in
deed to utilize the 5000 or more
miles Of river navigation on the Miss
issippi and its chief tributaries; it is
profitable to devise plans by which
this may be most expeditiously and
advantageously done.
There are other projects, however,
which are always brought up at
waterways conventions, which should
be omitted from the programme It
is within the range Of possibility, for
instance, that engineering talent
might secure navigation from Lake
Winnipeg to the Mississippi river,
Notwithstanding the elevation at Lake
Traverse; yet there is no demand; no
9.
necessity for such artificial work,
while eastward waterway facilities
are commercial necessity. The
Hennepin canal project is another
scheme which waterways conventions
are in the habit Of discussing, yet no
national or even semi-natibnal neces-
.sity has ever been demonstrated as to
this ditch, which would only serve
the purpose Of sewer for the city Of
Chicago. A ship canal from Lake
Erie to Lake Michigan and the re-
opening Of the old canal from Lake
Erie to the Ohio river are other water
way schemes Of which it i idle to talk
when really practicable and necessary
Improvements like those which have
been referred to are pressing; namely,
the perfecting Of the waterway from
Lake Superior to tide water on the
ST. Lawrence or on the Hudson and
the improvement Of the channel of
the Mississippi river. On these two
topics the waterways convention It
Superior ought 70 make its inAueace
felt The entire Northwest Is inter-
.eated ii these improvements. and the
concensr ated influence of the North
west is pste nt;al. IS IS

North Dakota's Constitutional Convention

BISMARCK, Oak, July 3.-TO-morrow the
constitutional convention for the new state
of North Dakota will assemble in this city,
and already large number of delegates are
on hand According to agreement, the Re
publicans in the territory, who are in the
majority, have allowed the Democrats to
have one-third of the delegates to this con-
yention, and there will be a strong effort to
keep up the minority representation idea in
the new constitution. While much atten-
JiOn is being paid TO the elections of indiVid-
uals as means of stepping into some offic-
ial positions Of the new state government,
the subject matter of the new organic law
is not by any means being overlooked.
The Farmers alliance, an organization
having a large number of members and be-
ing very powerful politically, has enunci-
ated platform of principles which they
wish to place in the constitution, and they
nave sufficient membership in the conVen-
ton and enough power in the state to make
their demands great. Among their plans
there is in the platform the following:
The government control of railroads and
of ell public necessities; prohibition of the
liquor traffic; the election of United States
Senators by popular vote; courts of arbi-
tration; the adjustment Of the contract
system in public works; self-sustaining
criminals; woman suffrage; few appOIntive
and many elective offices, and the Austral-
ian system of voting.n
AL these principles cannot be expected
30 obtain place in the new constitution,
nut many of them will make a hard fight
Tor positions The question of prohibition,
woman suffrage, the Australian ballot sys-
TEN and minority representation will come
n for good share of attention and there
uas already been great deal Of strong ar
gument in favor of one legislative body.
The Australian ballot system, with some
modification, together with one or two
of the principles mentioned, viii IN
doubtedly appear in the new document
The constitution already adopted for the
new state of South Dakota is well thought

Another Flood I heatens Youngstown.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, July 3.-The heavy
rains of yesterday and last night flooded
out five families in Cambria City. The
water came pouring down the mountain
last night and filed the first floors of the
houses, destroying all the furniture saved
from the big flood. There is great alarm
among the people over the condition of the
Conemaugh river. Water rose five feet in
two hours this morning. 1t carried away
the foot bridge above the Pennsylvania
railroad. There is danger of the temper
airy bridge built by the company going out
and cars were run on to it to save it. AT
10 o'clock this morning the abutment
began to sink. The temporary bridge
erected at the lower end of the Gautier of
fees is almost total wreck Order were
given at General Hastings headquarters
at 10 o'clock to get everything in shape for
a quick removal as it was feared the tents
would be washed away. At II 80 it was
thought that all danger had passed.
when a fresh storm passed over the valley,
the rain coming down in torrents. The
people fear that the Conemaugh will yet
sweep over its bank and flood the town.
