Mr.. Crisp's election represents the
conviction of the majority that the end
ained at by the ~party-viz., the right
eous revision and reduction of our
tariffs most surely 10 be attained

choice is significant of the dominance

cratic majority.-New York World.
1t was a straight and fair fight, and
was won by Mr.. Crisp merely because

as between HIM and Mr.. Mills the

while defeated, he is entitled to all the

The result was simply and only the

WATER TRANSPORTATION.

The necessity of water transporta-
ton, such as would be afforded to the
Missouri valley by the improvement of
the Missouri river, has never been
more adequately stated than was done
by Hon. Geo. C. Pratt, chairman of
the Missouri Railway Commission,
before the senate committee on inter
state commerce. After an exhaustive
study of the question off transporta-
ton he stated to the committee that
che had found that our best railways
cannot afford to take freight at less
than five mills per tor per mile; but it
can be carried by water for one mill
per ton per mile with equal chances of
profit to the business" This state
ment closely corresponds with the re-
suits realized on the lakes and the
Ohio and Lower Mississippi rivers, as
compared with competitive rail rates.
Mr.. Pratt urged as one of its chief
advantages that the low rate gives
wider distribution to cheap commodi-
ties and SO enlarges the market of the
producer and secures him steadier
s'soft coal, cord wood, hoop poles,
timber in the rough, sand, stone, brick,
clay, iron ore and many other articles
of great value in the aggregate are
worth less than five dollars per ton.
Lime, common lumber and salt are
worth from 80 to SO; hay and grain
from go to S15; Irish potatoes, rye,
oats and barley S15 to $25; wheat
about S35; flour about $50; cattle,
sheep and hogs about 800; groceries
from 300 to 5000; cotton, 5000;
wool, $500; coarse boots and shoes,
$1,000; ordinary cloths, 100000, and
silks and fine linens, $50, 600. This is
the difference in the value of these
articles. If the market be 1000 miles
away from the point of production the
articles worth less than 800 per ton
must reach it by water if they get
there at all; and on all worth less
than 800 the difference in water and
rail for that distance is an important
ITEM The products of the Missouri
valley as thus listed by Mr.. Pratt are
all worth less than 800 per ton, and
with the improvement of the Missouri
river would secure a rate of one-fiftl
that which is now paid, which would
give to them either n corresponding
higher value or distribution five times
as great at present prices. From tins
point of view the value of the improve.
ment of the Missouri river is incalcula.

SENATOR Hill,


1t is not announced vet at what time
Gov. Hill will cease to be governor of
New York, and enroll himself as a
United States Senator, but when he
does, he will at once become a power
that will be felt not only in the national
capital, but all over this broad land.
Mr.. Hill has had sufficient public life
to have experience, and enough of ser
vice to lay claims to being a veveran.
By many people in the democratic
party he has been misunderstood and
underestimate.
The boldness of his leadership has
made towards cringe, and compelled
opposition to put out its best efforts to
circumvent him, but he has never YET
been defeated, and stands a victor in
every effort he has made for success.
Some one said that Hill would lose
his power by allowing himself to be
put upon IA shelf in the senate, but the
man or set of men who shelye hin
will have a busy time of it.
Hill will not be lost in the senate. II
that arena he will rank with the giant:
and the man who encounters him will,
unless he is very careful, get a fall.
1t is possible Gov. Hill will not give
up his Office at Albany just yet. H'
has "a very pretty little fight on hi
hands right there. The republicans
are trying to steal the Legislature ant
Hill does not intend to let them do it
There is too much at stake.
! But while Hill is very busy at Albany

of disorder or rulings which would
cause any democrats to regret that Mr..
Crisp was elevated to this high position.

Mills

The kcenrsi part OF the satisfaction
the lNTELLIGENCEE feels over tho
election OF Judge Crisp to the speak
ership is the complete downfall of the
insolent ami diclatoriaI 81. Louis Re
public.
Not only has its Washington CORE

cause he could not drive men to do Iii,

BILE part, and become IN offrnsr to al
right thinking people.

its choice for speaker has been left
unabuSed and unvililicd. The best
and purest have been traduced and
accused of vilest motives. Congress.
men aud statesmen have been threat.

Mr.. Mills is one OF the best of men,
He has u misfortune in being of unruly
temper, but this was a small drawback
compared with the support OF that
monument of asininity, the st. LOUIS
Republic.

were visiting there atthe time and he was
brought by them to this country before
he was a year old.
His early education was obtained in
the schools of Savannah and Macon,
the then leading cities of the state he
now represents in congress. He enlis-
ted in the Confederate army in the first
year of the war, and finally became y
lieutenant in the Tenth Virginia infan-
try, serving with his regiment until
May, 1864, when he astaken prisoner
and carried to Fort Delaware. There
he remained until the close of the war,
being released in June, 1865.
He ut once returned to the home of
his parents at Ellaville, in Georgia, and
after Il brief interval began to read law
1T Americus, being admitted to the bar
there the following year and forthwith
commencing practice at Ellaville.
Promotion soon came to Mr.. Crisp.
In 1872 he was appointed solicitor
general of the southwest judicial circuit
and was again appointed in 1873 for Il
four years term. The same yeal
he made his home in Americas, where
he still lives, and in June, 1877, he
was appointed Judge of the superior
court. In 1873 he was chosen by the
general assembly for the same office,
and in 1880 he was reelected for fouI
years, but resigned TO accept the dem
ocratic nomination for congress from
the third district.
The same qualities winch brought
about his rapid advancement in the law
secured his equally pronounced succes,
in politics. We find him president o.
the democratic convention ut Atlanta il
1888, when the candidate for governor
was put in nomination. When his frs
term in congress expired he was renom'
mated for II second, and then Il third
forth and and fifth terms, serving, Il,
all the country knows, with great credi
to himself and usefulness to. his part,
and his state in the forty-eighth, forty
ninth, fiftieth and iifty-irst congresses
A year ago he was elected to the fifty
second congress, of which he has jus
been chosen speaker.

TUE NEW SPEAKER.


State pride, Il sincere admiration of
the man, and II recognition of his COM
potency, led the INTELLIGENCER to the
support of w. II. Hatch for the speak
ership. Its second choice was Chas.
F. Crisp, of Georgia.
That it should eNult in the selection
of its second choice after its %favorite
had gone that way is but natural.
And the INTELLIGENCER does rejoice
in Mr.. Crisp's success 1t believes
that a great danger to the party has
been passed. 1t believes that the
chances for success in 1892 have been
materially improved.
Under the control of Judge Crisp
the democratic majority in congress
will make no mistake. Its delibera-
tons will be wise, conservative and
full of force. The great issues upon
which the mex campaign are to be
fought will be fostered and strengthen
ed,and the party will go into the next
contest with solid ranks and enthusi-
astic following.
The election of Judge Crisp means
that the currency question will not be
relegated to the rear. 1t means that the
cause of tariff reform and lower taxes
will be kept firmly to the front. IT
means that the interests of the entire
people will be guarded; that eXtrava-
gance will not rule the house, but that
economy of public expenditures will
be one of the chief cares of con-
gress.
Locally the effect will be most
benetieent. We, of the Missouri river
districts, are interested in the improve
ment of our great waterway. Kansas
City, the chief city of this district and
the second IN the state, will need wise
appropriations for her new postoflice
and custom house, and liberal and to
harbor improvements. Our congress
man, John c. Tarsney, stands rs near
to the speaker, perhaps, as any one. He
is in high favor with Mr.. Hatch, who
will be chairman of the agricultural
committee; with Mr.. Springer, who will
go to the committee on appropriations,
and, in fact, of the solid majority of the
house. With such advantages he can
and will do much, very much, to
advance the interests of the people OF
his district.
Looking owe the entire field, the
INTELLIGENCER sees in the success OF
Crisp and conservatism a glorious and
suspicious Inauguration of better times
for the democracy, an almost certain
victory for 1892.
