For River improvements.

From The Missouri Statesman.
The Missouri delegation made its last
stand Monday for river improvements
for the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
They appeared before the river and
harbor committee. All urged liberal
appropriations and made a plea for
substantial aid. They were a unit in
insisting that the committee make it
mandatory upon either contractors or
the Mlssissippy River commission to
adopt the dredging system.
Mr.. Cobb spoke in behalf of both
rivers and the adoption of the dredging
system, either by private contract or
under control of the government. He
had heard that Missouri was to be left
out entirely. This he hoped was not
true. While both the Missouri and
Missippi were probably in no better
condition now than they were fifteen
years ago 1t was due to the system.
The people were crying for relief.
They wanted the dredging system. If
this could not be put out by private
contract with bond guarantee he
hoped that the committee would at
least make It mandatory upon the gov
eminent to try the dredging system.
Congressman Tracy, who followed
Mr.. Cobb, spoke for the Missouri
mainly. He said that the time was
not far distant when the Mississippi
would show q navigable channel of at
least nine feet from St. I.onis to New
Orleans. Speaking for the Missouri,
he said that the engineers OF the war
department had furnished him esti-
mates of the cost of improving the
Missouri from St. Louis to Sioux City,
$50 uniles. These estimates gave $45,-
600 eer mile as the total cost for the
entire distance. The engineers also
said that the work of improvement
would reclaim at least l 200 acres of
land for every mile improved and that
this land could be sold at public
auction for more than $50 per acre.
This alone would more than pay for
the entire cost of the improvement.
For the purpose of facilitating the
commerce of the people, not only
alone of the river, but in the entire
country, the contract system was far
better than the government system.
He urged an apr pEpropriation OF ut least
$500, 200 year for four years.

Blsmarck's Birthday,

From the POST -D1Spatcn.
The 1st of April, the Feast of Fools
elsewhere, has acquired new signifi-
canoe in Germany. On that day
eighty-one years ago there was born on
its soil Bismarck, the greatest figure in
the living world, and, with but one
possible exception, the greatest figure
of the century.
Admittedly the greatest statesman
Germany has ever produced, Bismarck
reached the eIghty-first milestone of
his life's journey with his marvellous
mental faculties showing no sign of
decay and with his physical powers
wonderfully preserved.
Little wonder that on his birthday
his countrymen from all over the
empire made piIgramages to Fried
richsruhe to lay congratulations and
birth tokens at the feet of the grand
old statesman.
His genius humbled Austria, crushed
France, and checked the advance OF
Russian aggression. He found Prussia
third-rate power, he made her the
German empire in fact-the arbiter
and mistress of the nations of conti-
mental Europe.
Born three days after NapOleon's
sun sank at Waterloo, he seems 20
have inherited that great mans faculty
for changing the map of Europe. In
the history of the century Bismarck's
name and deeds will bulk largely. He
Is the living incarnation of the military
glory and national greatness OF the
Germany OF today,

8-Thou shalt not be a drinking man,
But live on prohibition plan.
9-Thou shalt not fiirt, but must allow
Thy wife such freedom anyhow.
1O-Thou shalt get up when baby cries.
And try the child to tranquilize.
These my commands, from day to day,
Implicitly, thou shalt obey.

A Frank Confession.

From the sedalia Democrat
Failure can truthfully be written
across the record of the present repub-
lican congress.
The Globe-Democrat, the great
republican organ of the west, with its
face in the dust of humiliation, makes
this confession:
ga New York paper has been inter-
viewing merchants and business men
in the principal commercial centers of
the country as to the influences which
have checked the favoring prospects of
trade that prevailed last fall. The
general opinion thus obtained Is to the
effect that the explanation lies mainly
in the course that has been pursued by
congress. That body had a fine OPP
portunity to promote the revival of
business, to restore confidence, and to
encourage enterprise. The people
looked to it for sound and practical
legislation on subjects vitality related
to the question of national prosperity.
1t assembled with a perfect under
standing of what was expected of it.
The november elections had left no
room for doubt about the popular
desire with regard to measures of relief
and stimulation. Every member knew
what his constituents wanted and how
they could be benefited. But the i'm
portant duty of carrying out the we'll
defined aud well-emphasized will of
the people was treated with indiffer-
ence, and subordinated to compare
lively light and irrelevant considera-
tions. The business interests of the
land waited for helpful legislation only
to be disappointed. Instead of the
assistance that they have anticipated,
they got kind of treatment that was
enervating and dispirating, and all OF
their sunny calculations were more or
less eclipsed. IL is no Won
der, therefore, that the gratifying pros
poets of trade which existed last fall
have failed to maintain their bright
ness. Congress has done nothing to
better the situation and hasten the
return of good times; and the country
now contemplates 1t only with an anx-
ious hope for the adjournment as soon
as possible.
Voters should preserve this. Ii Is
an admission that should close the
mouth of every republican orator in
the country and cause the people to
overwhelmingly defeat tie party which
has so deceived them.

A PhilanthrOpic Object.

From the Liberty Advance.
James Aull, of Kansas City, a
nephew of the phllanthropic Mrs.
Elizabeth Aull, who bequeathed fund
to be used in aid of educating the poor
children of Clay county, believes that,
since the establishment Of our public
school system, the fund is not further
needed for the purpose it was intended
to serve. He now represents hve-
eights OF the heirs of Mrs. Aull, and
thinks he can secure the consent of the
remaining three-eights to have the
Sl2 800 of this fund used in erecting a
splendid school building and library
here. The sum of So, 900, If voted at
the school election, would be INSULT
cient to meet present needs, and we
believe Mr.. Aull's suggestion should
be needed. If this money can be so
applied, we are in favor of using it in
the erection of a commodious and
slightly structure in some desirable and
convenient part of the city, Let the
matter be inquired into.

LETTER FROM CARLISLE.
Not Candidate, But Would Like Ken-
tueky's Endorsement.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.-Sec-
retary Carlisle has written the follow
ing letter on the subject of his
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
ton at the Chicago convention:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 4, '96.
Charles X. Long. Esq. Chairman Democratic
State Central Committee. Louisville. Ky.
MY DEAR SIR: Your favor of March
80, IN which you say, in substance,
that many of my friends in Kentucky
and elsewhere desire me to become q
candidate before the approaching
National Democratic Convention for
nomination for the Office of president,
and requesting me to give "some
authoritative or definite expression
upon the subject, was duly received
and has been maturely considered.
Many communications upon the same
subject and similar import have been
received from friends in different parts
of the country, and while very grateful
for these numerous expressions of con-
fidence and esteem upon the part OF
my democratic citizens, l have
not been able to reach the conclusion
that the existing conditions require me
to comply with their requests by
| authorizing them to announce me as a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton.
When l feel q profound interest in
the welfare of my party, L am much
more concerned about its declaration
of principles than its selection of can
didates, because, in my opinion, its
failure or success at the election, as
well as its capacity for useful service
in the country in the future, depend
upon the position it takes, or omits to
take, upon the public questions now
engaging the attention of the people,
and especially the questions affecting
the monetary system of the country
and the character and amount OF
taxation to be imposed upon our
citizens.
Its position upon these and other
subjects have been agreed upon and
clearly and distinctly announced, the
convention ought to have no difficulty
in selecting an acceptable candidate
who will fairly represent its views, and
in order that its deliberations may be
embarrassed as little as possible by the
contentious of rival aspirants and their
friends, l think my duty to the party
will be best performed by declining to
participate in a contest for the nom-
| ination.
The obligations assumed when I
accepted my present official position
required me to devote my entire time
and attention to the public interests
committed to my care, and shall
continue to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon me to the best of my ability
and in such manner as will, in my
judgment, most certainly promote the
true interests of the country; and if, in
the opinion of my fellow democrats OF
Kentucky, my services entitle me to
their commendation and approval, ]
would regard their Endorsement of my
public course as an ample reward for
the little l have been able to accom-
plish in behalf of honest administration
and sound financial policy.
With many thanks for your kind
letter, am, very truly yours,
j. G. CARLISLE.

Silver Mug cts.

BY Lon. V. Stephens.
l recently wrote Mr.. Jay Cooke, one
of the greatest living financiers, for
copies OF his late articles on free silver
coinage, and duly received the follow
ing response from him:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March IS, '9G.
81 have yours of the 9th inst. /

route to my Lake Erie, Gibraltar
Island home, and reporters always
catch me and get few answers to
their varied inquiries, have, therefore,

''I am glad to see such unanimity as
the people of Missouri show on the
side of the restoration of silver to its
rightful position, and it is difficult for
me 10 understand how any true Amer
lean can be a believer in a single gold
standard.
81 still regard the act OF 1873 as q
violation of the constitutional right
which was granted to the powers OF
either gold or silver bullion as to free
coinage at the mInts, and think that
unless the right is speedily restored,
either by a concurrence of action on
the part of the United States and a
portion of Europe, or by our indepen-
dent action, we will see a continuance
of the present evil times, and, in fact,
will see worse times. 1t cannot be
otherwise. | will send you some
documents which express my views.
Yours very truly,

But few of the readers of these Mug
gets do not remember the eminent
financier, Mr.. Jay Cooke. 1t was he,
who, during the civil war, placed the
enormous amount of $4,000, 100000
government securities with the people
of the United States, without personal
profit to himself. In speech made in
the United States senate, in March,
1864, Senator John Sherman stated
that the secretary of the treasury had
vainly solicited subscriptions to the
$40 loan from private capitalists for
whole year before Mr.. Cooke took hold
of the loan end procured the money
direct from the people.
The views of one of ouch prominence,
at this time, cannot fail to be of weight
and value. Mr.. Cooke is now in his
18th year, and for lifty-five years he
has been in active business life as
financier and a railroad man. Speaking
of the free coinage issue, he says: "No
issue before the country, in my iudg-
ment, is of snch supreme Importance
as the question of silver. 1 am fully
convinced that prosperity-and, in
fact, the very salvation of the country
depends upon the return to bimetal-
lism and free coinage"
1.-The decentralization of silver" he
said, "was a national crime, because
at one. blow it cut off one-half of the
basis of values, and that, after all, lies
at the root of the money question. l
am bimetallist from head to foot, and
[ believe much of our troubles may be
traced to the blow at our silver. The
fight against silver has been carried on
for more than fifteen years, and it has
been aided by official antagonism on
the part of secretaries of the treasury
as much as anything else. One of the
things we need is the reconciliation
of silver. We need it, too, without
any cowardly makeshifts, without Sher-
man bills, or any other kind of bills.
1 know the objection will be raised
that the United States cannot act inde-
pendently in a matter of this kind, but
beg leave to dissent. A small issue
of bonds would more than cover all the
silver that would come to US from
abroad. Besides this, only the silver
from our own mines should be coined
at the mints, and then a tariff could be
put on all foreign silver. 1t would not
be long before most of the countries
of Europe would be with us. This, 1
consider, real protection of American
industry. One thing the gold advo-
Gates forget, and that is the army of
men that would be set to work digging
for silver would at the same time dis
cover considerable gold. know that
am speaking for an unpopular cause,
and that the manufactured sentiment
of the country is against it, but l be-
lieve what say, and l think the time
will come when the country will be
educated up to the same ideas. A man
that talks for silver in these days is
accused Of either having interest in
silver mines or of being a crank.
have not to-day single dollar invest
ed in a silver mine, and l respectfully
disclaim the distinction of being

the sustenance of human life, is
more than all the others, and thus tn
most valuable fruit in the world.
Even with us it already holds Its own
when compared with any other fruit,
while in some countries-Africa, for
instance-its position is as important
as that of wheat in the United States
or Rice IN China. Bananas are
becoming so plentiful that new and
hitherto undreamed of uses are rapidly
being found for them. A banana meal

make an infinitely more nutritious

perimental stage. Banana skins con
tain a tough fiber from which the
finest of cloth can be woven. rhe
juice yielded by these same despiseI
skins, during the process of extracting
the fiber, can be used either as an
indelible ink or fermented into good
vinegar.
Could anything be more contrary to
our preconceived notions than bananas
as food for babiesP Yet only last
summer 1 was introduced to a perfectly
we'll, sturdy and rosy-cheeked little
chap a year old who, so his parents
assured me, had never tasted milk, and
had, during the first six months of his
life, been fed wholly on ripe bananas.
At that age nuts were added to his
daily bill OF fare. From all this it
would seem that we have only begun
to make the acquaintance of the
banana as an article of daily food. At
the rate with which our knowledge OF
its many admirable qualities Is increas-
ing, however, we shall ere long be
willing to admit that il is the king of
fruits, and chief among the fool
products of our good mother earth.
