the deliberations of the convention should
be confined to the Improvement Of naviga-

rivers and their tributaries
The committee on resolutions presented
their report through their chairman, j. H.
Murphy, OF Missouri. He prefaced it by
saying that after long delibera,ion the
committee had arrived at a unanimous
uRIeeiueut Win IeSdiu W luc AOiiO"luR
resolutions:
Resoired That 1t is the sense of this conven-
ton that the general welfare Of the people OF
the Mississippi valley and Of the entire country
demands that the Mississippi river and its nav
igable tributaries be SO improved by the Gen.
eral Government as to secure to the people
easy and safe navigation as well as cheap
transportation, and this convention hereby re-
affirms the declarations made by the river i'm
provement conventions of 1881 at Washington,
at New Orleans in 1885 and at Memphis in 1887.
That this convention deeply regrets the fail
ure of Congress to make the necessary appro-
priations at its last session for continuing the
improvement Of Western waterways
That We call upon Congress as its representa-
tive of the people and the guardian of their in
terests and rights to protect these great water
ways, upon which it is expending large sums Of
money, from further injury or ruin through the
construction Of faulty or defective bridges with
numerous piers; and while We recognize the
undoubted right Of railroad companies and
others to bridge river. the right must be exer-
cised without injuring its value and without
impeding or periling its use. As the competition
the river affords Is the only guarantee Of the
people against excessive rates, the river must
be free and unrestric ted.
That it is declared the duty Of Congress to
improve and protect all the waterways OF the
nation. Where private ind ividuals or corpora
tions have assumed or secured by State action
or otherwise privileges on such waterways to
the injury OF commerce the removal of such OBJ
struction is asked.
The action Of the executive committee
on the Improvement of Western water.
ways was commended and the committee
to continue its work.
