and endangers the lives and property of our citizens Considered in another light, the cost of the saloon over against the cost of schools, roads. rent, lights, fuel. stationary and incidentals is as ? to 8. And what of the bene- fitsP Every fair-minded man will agree that unless some benefit to the community is derived in a financial way there can be none at all from this business.
 For it does not improve society, it prevents intelligence audmorality, and it does not meet any real need of the community, The claim is made, how ever, that the saloons furnish lodg- ing for many unfortunate men who would otherwise be compelled 10 sleep out of doors. But any such claim may be answered by the fact that nine out of every ten persons who are brought to such q condition arc victims of strong drink, or of habits of dissipation and vagrancy, which the saloon more than any other institution encourages.

The Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress.

The next session of the -MissiS- sippi Commercial Congress will con. vene in St. Louis, on invitation of the Merchants Exchange of this city, on Monday, November 26, 1891, and will probably continue four days. This date has been selected with the special view of securing the attendance of western members of the United States congress en route to Washington for the re-asSembling of that body.
 The territory embraced in the repre- srntatlon to the congress includes all states aud territories lying west of the Mississippi river, and those small DOT tions of Louisiana and Minnesota which lie east of it.
 The object of the Congress is to discuss all questions affecting the in- terests of the people in the foregoing territory, which may be the subject of legislation by the United States Con gress, and to express to it, through resolutions and otherwise, the senti- ments of the western people. It will also emdeavor to take such steps for the presentation of these resolutions to that body, as will command it's atteu- tion and action.
 While any such questions may prop crIy be brought forward for discussion, among those which are most likely to be prominent are: The remOnetization of silver; irrigation of arid and other lands; the disposition of Indian and public lands; the Nicaragua canal; a national bankrupt law: the improve ment of western rivers and harbors; anti-optiou legislation; mining laws; admission of territory to statehood.
 The governor of each state and ter ritory may appoint ten delegates.
 Each county is entitled to one dele gate, to be appointed by it's commis- sioners or judges.
 The Mayor of each city may appoint one delegate, and an additional dele gate for every 10000 population, pro vided. however, that not more than ten delegates shall be thus appointed from any one city.
 Each commercial body, or business organization, may appoint three dele gates and one additional delegate for each 100 members.
 Ex-Prcsidents of the Congress, Gov clnOrs of states or territories west of ihe Mississippi river, and all members of the US. Congress are eX-oliicio dele gates. with all the privileges of aI- pointed delegates, except those of vo- ting and election to office. ..
