Missouri Valley has never followed the
natural channel to the sea and market
by way of the Missouri River to st. Louis,
the Mississippi River to New Orleans. and
thence by ship to Havre or Liverpool;
it has always travelled across country by
rail TO Chicago. and thence bv canal-barge
or rail to New York. So in Kansas. That
State has a fine river system. The Kaw
is navigable to Salinas. and from that
point a small expenditure would make the
Solomon naviga BILE for long distance.
Southern Kansas has an admirable outlet
in the Arkansas. which is never closed by
ice, but rarely ton of the grain or pork of
Kansas goes to market by boat: it goes
overland by rail. Even Tennessee and
Mississippi ship much of their cotton to
New York by rail instead of letting it
float down the river to New Orleans.
These violations of the natura! law of
transportation have been brought about
by the dexterous management Of the rail-
roads. The river had no friends to plead
its cause. and its bosom, which used to be
a scene of busy traffic, is now rarely
darkened by smoke. 1t is the story Of the
contest between our Sacramento and the
Central Pacific over again.
Mr.. Fisk will render the river valleys
service if he awakens their people to the
duty of using their waterways. Some
fifteen years ago company was formed in
Kansas City to ship grain in barges down
the Missouri to st. Louis and down the
Mississippi to New Orleans. 1t was an
tagouized by the Union Pacific and the
Missouri roads, and was crushed out. Ii
it had fulfilled its purpose, Kansas might
have been richer to-day.

AN APPEAL FOR WATERWAYS

A Mr.. Fisk, who has some connection
with the PopuliSt party and likewise with
the silver miners of Denver, has a remedy
for the present dull times. He proposes
that the West. by which term he means
the country lying west of the Mississippi
Valley. shall sever its commercial ties
with the East, Withdrawing its trade and
money reserve, and shall establish trade
relations with Europe by way Of New Or
leans and the gulf ports. He feels conf
dent that ST. Louis, Chicago and San
Francisco stand ready to break off all
business relations with the East, in order
to punish New York for Directing to the
Sherman law.
Strange to say, Mr.. Fisk is not as crazy
as in his secret soul he must think that he
is. There is more in his wild idea than he
imagines. Not that any Westerner out
side of an asylum proposes to head a
secession of the West from the East, but
that the West is not utilizing its southern
outlets as it might do. 1t is the merest
axiom in political economy that where two
lines Of transportation offer-a waterway
and landway-the former is always the
cheaper; yet st. Louis, which for the
garded as the center Of ''the West" having
waterway and landway, has for thirty
years neglected the former to throw all
her business upon the latter.
Up to 1856 this was not the case, That
portion of the produce of the Northwestern
country which did not seek tdewater over
the Erie canal and nearly all the produce

nessee, Southern Ohio. Mississippi and

Europe. In the decade of $4,000 the great
railroads were built, and their owners Of

corn. provisions and cotton to send their
stuff to market by rail to New York. They
were assisted by the war. which for four
wears rendered the navigation of the Mis-
sissippi dangerous. After the war the old
lines of river steamers had been broken
up, and the railroads made rates which
discouraged transportation agencies from
reviving them. Thus the produce of the
West continued to drift east instead of 90
ing south in other words, il took the dear
road to market instead of the cheap road.
This was the case in the Missouri Valley
and further West. as we'll as in the Missis-
sippi Valley. Wheat grown in the upper

WITH CAUSE.

Mr.. George Gould thinks that the hostile
attitude assumed by the legislators of the
country to great corporations is the prin-
cipal cause of the present industrial! de-
preston. The policy of State and Gen.
corporations down instead OF building
them up. This, OF course, is the corpora
ton view. Without DOUBT Mr.. Coils F.
Huntington considers the attitude of the
General Government toward the Pacific
railroads hostile. The only thing that
can change his mind would be bill to
refund the debt of the Central Pacific at a
nominal rate of interest and for long
term of years. Mr.. George Gould has in
herited fortune of S15,0O0.O00. large
portion of which was acquired through the
wrecking of railroads. The Erie Railroad.
which recently went into the hands of re-
ceivers, contributed largely to the Gould
millions. The earnings of the road were
diverted from the stockholders to specu-
lators. A road which never paid a divi-
dend. which was costly property to
owners, made several outsiders million
aires. Taking the Central Pacific. we find
that the original proprietOrs made them
SClSCS OuL Ol a DTOpertV
which could not pay its deOts. Not only
has the principal been left unprovided for.
but the General Government has had the
interest to pay. Mr.. Gould must admit
that if certain legislators are now as
Stunning hostile attitude to great
corporations they have some cause.
For more than thirty years the lob
bies of Congress and of State legis.
latures have swarmed with corporation
agents employed to promote legislation in
the interests of the great corporations.
These agents have been literally suppl ed
with money which they we're auth orized
to place where it would produce the best
results for their employers. In conven-
tons in this State and others the agents
of corporations have dictated nominations
and always in their own interest. It has
been rather rare thing to elect a man to
sponsi0e Office who was not under
some kind Of obligation to consider the
interests Of corporations rather than of the
public. Ii there is change in the attitude
OF Legislators it proves good to the public
rather than evil. When railroads are run
on business principles there Is no feeling
against them. But the people have be-
come tired of paying twice or three times
the cost of service that the railroad mag
mates may have large corruption fund to
use bribing legislators and courts.

THE MONTERREY.

The officers and crew OF the Monterey
contradict the report circulated few
days since that the vessel is less comfort
able at sea than other warships. There
were no leaking boilers. 10 red-hot smoke
stack, 10 burned deck planks. OR other
such conditions as were reported. At the
different ports north sixteen landsme en- did
not make connection with the vessel
when the hour come to sail, but whether
these men deliberately deserted or were
having the usual sailors good time ashore
is not known. From the persistence with
which false reports are put in circulation
about the Monterey the conclusion is be-

Work STOPPED.

No work whatever is being done by the
City Railroad Company in the building of
the promised electric car line on Mission

why work on the laying of the roadbed as

There is yet several blocks of roadbed to
be laid from Main stree,1to The ferries.
