by some, that waterways, being the
natural channels, provided without cost,
open to all who care to use them, would
always be able to command the car
riage of freights against the compe-
tition of railways, and that the latter
could only be profitably operated
where they did not come into compe-
tition with the highways of nature
After fifty years of test for this belief
there is not a single waterway in the
country that is not parallel by one or
more railways, and the latter have in
creased in number while water car
riers have diminished The Mississippi
is parallel by railways from Brainerd
to New Orleans. The great lakes are
skirted by lines of railways. The Ohio
and Missouri rivers find the steel rails
ringing their sides. The fleet of
steamers that once carried freight on
the rivers Of the interior have dwind-
led away as railways have increased.
On the lakes the competition of the
rail has been survived only by the
substitution of immense freighters
trailing laden barges.
The traffic of the Erie canal strik-
ingly illustrates this development,
with its paradox of the greater cheap
ness of the more costly channel of
freight movement. The Journal Of
Commerce shows that, in the last six
teen years, while the amount of grain
carried from Buffalo by rail has in
creased 800 per cent, the amount ship
ped by canal has diminished seventy
per cent OF the 100000 barrels of
flour that went from Buffalo to New
York in 1895, but 900 went by canal.
Figures are not accessible that would
show the proportion of grain arriving
in Buffalo by water and by rail, but it
is probable that the waterway would
show a larger amount, especially of
grain having its origin in the North
west. The fact, however, that in that
instance, with all the advantage OF
the long haul and deep water permit
ting large cargoes to be carried, the
rail is able to carry any of this freight
at all. shows how close a competitor
the latter has become and how it is
that. where conditions are more equal,
the rail has surpassed the vessel.
The function of the canal and other
waterways has developed out of this
strenuous contest. 1t bears the same
relation to the carrying trade that the
governor does to the engine. 1t regu-
lates charges AS Mr.. Bogart, late
state engineer for New York, said in
one of his reports, 1.-The amount of
grain transported by canal is not of so
much consequence as is the fact that
the canal is in existence and in condi-
ton to transport grain at moderate
rates in connection with lake vessels"
How far waterways act as governors
is seen every fall when navigation
closes, in the sharp increase of rail
freights where railways compete with
the water carriers. The speed of the
engine increases when the governor
belt slips off. The real question then
in the problem of canal construction
10 provide deep water from the lakes
to tidewater is whether it will be worth
its cost in its value as a governor.

LONG ON Politics.,

While the name of eX-Gov. Hoard,
Of Wisconsin, is not seen on the backs
of any dictionaries, to paraphrase a bit
of popular slang, yet when it comes to
the making of definitions he has a way
of putting English together in a very
effective way Within a few days the
Badger statesman delivered an address
before the Congregational club of st.
Louis, and indirectly devoted himself
to politics. What is the politician
who buys the peoples votes. trades Of
fees and attempts to corrupt the pub
lie morals? he asked. '"The begin
ming of a traitor" was the definition,
and it suits the facts to a nicely. The
man who plots against the morality
of his country is no less a traitor than
he who seeks to undermine it's in
tegrity or its honor. Loss of terri
tory or of national power can be en-
dured with less of lasting effect than
loss of Individual morality in politics.
and the spokesman. in this respect, is
worse than he who betrays his country
in camp or in council.
To oppose partisanship, the party
loyalty under which the spokesman
cloaks his plotting, Gov. Hoard sug-
gested patriotism as the effective
weapon. Public opinion is the only
master known to the practical poll
tician, and public opinion is the sum
total of individual morality. So long
as the balance is on the side of cor
ruption good citizenship must suffer
When the number of those who take an
interest in public affairs for patriotic
reasons exceeds the total of those in
politics for gain, the occupation of
the spokesman will lie gone. While pub
lie opinion ignores or endures the evils
of the present system of Office seek
ing and Office getting the nation must
suffer the consequences of neglect.
But if patriotism is the remedy, why
not apply it? Where is the country's

applied to the problem at hand? No
better answer can be given than that
found in the press report of Gov
! Hoard's lecture, which, in summarizing
his remarks, says: THE direct lesson
of the lecture was the necessity for
building up the spirit of patriotism in
| the public schools. There is the rem
edy and it's application in a single
sentence When every graduate of
every public school takes with him into
the world an abiding pride in his
| country's history and an abiding de-
termination to do his duty as a citi-
zen, the problem will be solved, and the
public school system, no matter what
its other defects, will have fulfilled its
greatest mission. Until then, in the
words of Gov. Hoard again, the coun-
try will be long on politics and short
! on patriotism"

THE USE OF WATERWAYS.

One of the current magazines has an
article on the construction of deep
waterway canal connecting the lakes
with tidewater. The purpose of the
writer apparently is to show that the
cost of construction and operation
would be much less than that given
by estimates made and based on the
coeS of previous similar constructions.
He cites the appliances used in the con-
struction of the Chicago drainage can
al, all the devices invented since the
work was undertaken and their use
resulting in a decrease of the estimated
cost of that great enterprise
amounting to several million dollars.
An Invention in locks also promises to
largely reduce their cost and increase
their efficiency, diminishing the num-
Der needed to reach the different levels,
and increasing the rapidity of their
working. From these data he con-
cIudes that the deep waterway will
cost very much less than the lowest
estimates yet made.
The development of our internal COM
merce, with the rivalry OF water and
rail routes. has overthrown a belief

LONDON MONEY MARKET.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-In the early part
of last week, with currency returning
from the provinces, the floating supply
of money seemed increasing, and rates
correspondingly weaker. The repay
ment of loans to the Bank of England
and further borrowing by the bank
stiffened the market.
The forthcoming settlement on the
exchange is tending to produce the
same effect, while the prospect of gold
going to the United States is the chief
factor in all estimates. Rates have
