IMPROVEMENT OF WATER
WAYS

Democratic Platform. Sec. II: The federal
government should care for and improve the
MISSISSIPPI river and other great waterways
OF the republic, SO as to secure for the in
terror states easy and cheap transportation to
the tidewater. When any waterway OF the
republic is of sufficient Importance to de-
mand aid of the government, such aid should
be extended on definite plan of continuous
WORK until permanent improvement is Sc
cured.
The disastrous floods of the past few
months have demonstrated anew the
necessity for a liberal expenditure of
the public moneys in the improvement
of our interior waterways. This is
case where an ounce of prevention is
worth an infinitude of cure. No RENE
dial legislation can give back the pre-
clous lives that were lost at Sioux City,
aud the national treasury is hardly rich
enough to reimburse the property loss
sustained there and elsewhere by floods
this spring and summer, even were it
compatible with good government to
vote such reimbursement. That catas-
trophe similar to that which befell Sioux
City was not visited upon St. Paul is
largely due to the efficiency and security
of the government dams and reservoirs
On the Upper Mississippi. Had the
Minnesota river been as we'll cared for
as:the MiSsissippi,e even the slight damage
done at this point would probably have
been averted. This waterways PLANK
in the Democratic platform, therefore,
has strong local significance, and will
appeal generally to jewellers along the
Mississippi and the other great rivers
of the country. For the preservation of
life and property, as we'll as in the in
terest of commerce, adequate appropri-
atoms for the improvement of water
ways are demanded. Adequate. but
not extravagant; generosity, but no
jobbery; liberal expenditures, but only
On definite plan of continuous work"
That is the Democratic announcement,
and a vote for Democratic candidates
Will be vote for the judicious improve
ment of waterways.

THE HIGHEST LAW.

The negroes who assembled in con-
yeution at Cincinnati the other day
seemed to be asking only for justice
when they demanded that deeds of VIC
1enee against their race should cease
1t would appear automatic that when a
man is charged with the commission of
crime, whether he is black or white,
he should be tried by jury of his peers,
and, if found guilty, punished according
to the provisions of law and the statutes,
and in this way alone.
But really the problem is not as
simple as it looks. Penal codes are
enacted to punish wrongdoers and to
prevent the commission of crime. To
the average negro in the South incarcer-
alton in the penitentiary is not a pun
ishment. 1t is social distinction. The
fear of the laws vengeance, if it is to
come in this shape, will not compel him
to withhold his hand when temptation
aIlures him.
1t is all very fine to talk about the
majesty of the regularly constituted
authorities and the Importance of OBJ
serving the safeguards of Anglo-Saxon
liberty. But a community has, first of
all, to protect its property from maraud-

THE STEWART BILL.

The GLOBE does not understand by
what logical table Congressman HALL
figures when he calculates that the pas
sage of the free-coinage bill by the
Democratic house will help the election
of CLEVELAND. He says that HAIR
RIsON would veto it, and that this
would bring him into disrepute in the
West and South, make the silver states
doubtful, and increase the Democracy's
chances of carrying them.
There does not seem to be anything
in such reasoning. In the first place, il
would not bring President HARRISON
into disrepute with anybody who has
any sense, no matter what his views on
the silver question, should he veto the
STEWART act. 1t is all impossible piece
of legislation as it stands, imperative
for the very purpose for which it was
designed. and the executive could forbid
its enactment without committing him
self at all either for or against free
coinage. .iasiA
But even if this were not true, it
would make no difference. Everybody
knows that Mr.. HARRISON believes in
honest money, and if anybody intends
to oppose his election OH this account,
he needs no further Incentives for doing
so. But Mr.. CLEVELAND believes in
honest money also, and the detection of
Republicans on this issue promises his
cause no recruits. 1t is one of the graf
flying features of the present campaign
that the repudiationists can find no
abiding place except in the society of
WILLIAM PETER and IGNATIUs Don
NELLY.
The GLOBES opinion is that the STEW
ART bill had better be killed. 1t is only
one more example of the fatality which
attends pedestrianism when the blind
undertake to lead. The silver cranks
do not know what they want, and have
proved themselves incapable of framing
an>lnt lligent measure in either house.
When an opportunity of triumph is in
their grasp they straIghtway proceed to
fall into the pit.

For several weighty reasons this ap-
p0lntment is blunder. So far as those
familiar with Fosters record are able to
judge he lacks the ability and mental
poise and dignity requisite in the head

posts.-St. Louis Globe-Democra RepD

AS regards the ordinary diplomatic
business of the Department OF state he

How far Fosters connection with the
state department was in the capacity of
a spy on Blaine remains to be developed,
but his connection with Balmaceda is a
much more serious matter. Before he
is confirmed the senate ought to know

task OF teaching them. 1t went rather

While they were thus engaged they
conspired together for vengeance, and
before their final exit interviewed the
management. The management hap
pened TO be sixty years old instead of
eighteen, and in feeble health. They
interviewed him first with their pro-
posals. and when they had broken
these they interviewed him with their
nngernallS. His personal powers Of rep
artee failed him quite early in the
game, but they scintillated charmingly
long after he was completely ex-
hausted, and until their own animation
began to flag. Then they went off to
consult lawyer. and the management
went to the hospital. He is still forced

be inferred. without further argument,
that their way is not adapted for the

brightly in some other sphere. The

pear with some regularity at the per-
formances.

FARMER MARSH AND THE
TARIFF.

Here is another illustration of the
operations of our unique tariff law, says
the Boston Herald. Mr.. Marsh owns
and occupies farm which is partly in
Vermont and partly in Canada. His
pasture is on the Canadian side, while
his barn is on the Vermont side. Some
time ago Farmer Marsh bought ten
horses in Canada and brought them
over the line to his Vermont farm, pay
ing the regular tariff duty on the ami
mails. Subsequently he turned them
out into his pasture, and as they strayed
across The line While browsing Farmer
Marsh was called upon to pay new
duty of $50 per head when he undertook
to bring the animals back to his barn.
The board of general appraisers having
been appealed to by Farmer Marsh, that
solemn body af1irms the decision of the
collector, who will continue to keep an
eye on Farmer Marsh and assess him
$500 every time he bring his horses in
from his pasture.
