Address.
AT the Evansville waterway conven>
ton yesterday Mayor Ficke, of Owens
port, made strong plea for the early
completion of the Hennepin canal. In
the course of his remarks he said:
by making the first appropriation of
$5O0.OOO for the Illinois and Mississippi
canal, our government has irrevocably
committed itself to the building of it
and we may well rel dice. Yet let US not
forget that important work is still before
US. To now cease our endeavors in the
belief that the measure will take care of
itself. would be to surrender the fruits of
our victory. The canal will be built. OF
that there is no longer doubt The gov
eminent comprehends its necessity; is
committed to its construction and
unquaitiedly favors the measure. But
how quickly will it be built? When
will it be completed2 These are now the
all important questions. To build it, but
to delay its completion beyond the lives
OF those now living is not what this gen.
Grafton wants or has right to expect.
T"entY-one years Of delay have cost those
east and west least able to bear it more
than $500. ZOO. goo, and unless the people
everywhere speak up in tones not to be
misunderstood, work on the canal will be
stretched out long enough to take from
them $500. 000. 600 more
"Thecanal should be built in three years,
and can be built in that time if congress
will but appropriate annually an amount
equal TO the sum that would be saved to
people every month from the day of it's
completion"
The resolutions adopted by the conven-
cion heartily approve the legislation of
the Fltty-first congress in appropriating
100000 to begin the construction of
tine Illinois & Mississippi canal, and ap-
preciating as it does the national import.
ance OF this water way, intended to con.
meet the Mississippi river with Lake
Michigan, urges such further appropria.
tions as will secure the speedy completion
of the canal. In order TO secure the
producers and manufacturers of the nortl .
