RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Some Figures on Government Expenses
on the MuslSingum.


For the improvement of the Mus
kingum river there has been expended
TO the close of the fiscal year s94,247.
Many repairs and some reconstruc-
ton work was necessary when the
United States assumed charge of the
slack water navigation of the Mus
kingum river in 1887. This report is
limited to work carried on under an
appropriation of 100000 for the con-
structiou of lock at Taylorsville and
the reconstruction of a lock at Zanes-
vile. This latter work was indeh-
nitely postponed, and Congress di-
verted to other uses the money origin
ally appropriated for it.
As originally improved by the State
of Ohio, II dams and 12 locks were
built on the 81 miles of water from its
mouth in the Ohio at Marietta to Dres-
den, where connection was made with
the Ohio Canal, which carried the
slack water navigation to Lake Erie at
Cleveland. The lock and dam above
LaneSVllie is now IN Il STATE OF ruin, puI
the T5 miles of slack water between
Zanesyille and the Ohio river has been
maintained. The locks and dams on
this part of the river passed into the
hands of the United States in 1887. All
the works were in bad repair.
On this work the United States has
eXpended ST. 1T3. $50.
The total commerce transported on
the river during the calendar year 1896
was SO, 597 tons of freight valued at
So, 302 $40; passengers carried, ~, 470.
Whenever warranted, all repair ard
reconstruction is done with a view to
permanence, thereby reducing the cost
of future maintenance to a minimum,
but, as many of the structures are old,
an exact statement cannot be made in
advance of the cost of keeping them in
condition. Probably the
yearly expense of operating and care
of the locks and dams will not exceed
l per cent of the value of the commerce

improvements are still in progress
at the Mount Clare shops of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road and it will
not be long until they will be the most
thoroughly modern shops in the coun-
try. Labor saving devices and methods
for the rapid repair of rolling stock are
being constantly intro luced and one
of the latest Improvements consists of
a sunken track whereby all the cinders.
sweepings etc. are loaded directly from
carts and wheelbarrows into cars with
out further handling and then trans
ported directly to the dumping grounds.
Heretofore this material has been
handled from to 7 times in getting it
on the cars. This arrangement will
also be used in shipping scrap material
such as car wheels, etc. which has had
to be handled by cranes but which can
now be placed on the cars without be.
ing elevated, thereby decreasing the
time and labor of loading.

REPUBLICANS, remember that the
man who asks you to scratch your
ticket is Democrat, and that eyery
vote against your candidate for Repre-
sentative or State Senator is an en-
dorsement of the infamous Chicago

Democratic U. S. Senator and a
Congressional gerrymander of the
State. In the heart of the loyal citizen
party principles are above personal
desires.

Importance of seeing that the party
strength is out to the poles in full.
Democratic managers figure confident
ly on large number of stay-at.home
Republicans and oy combining every
effort upon the Legislative ticket they
hope to carry the Legislature on joint
ballot, give Ohio another Democratic
U. S, Senator and gerrymander the
Republicans out of dozen memb bers of
Congress. They realize that there is
no hope for Chapman, the labor
crusher and in every county and SEN
atorial district in the state they have
secretly made preparations to sacrifice
everything TO the aspirations of
Mclean to be U. 5. Senator. They
will spring on and before election day
every sort of abuse, villdcaton and
falsehood in order TO encompass the de-
feat of Republican candidates for Rep
resentative and State Senator.
Republicans must be on their guard
to combat the unholy scheme. In this
hour their duty is to their party,
which needs them to preserve the pow
er of the Mckinley administration

iously begun, of restoring the country

The nature of the reply made by the
new Spanish ministry to the sugges-
tion of President Mckinley that the
war in Cuba be brought to a speedy
close caused no surprise. 1t is Just
above what it was expected to be-a
polite, diplomatic plea for this govern
ment to keep its hands off until the
new ministry has had chance TO put
its new policy in effect in Cuba. and
the expression of the belief that peace
will soon result. President Mckinley
may believe, as 90 many others, that
the answer is nothing more substantial
than an evasive attempt to gain time,
but he will be compelled by the diplo-
matte usage OF nations to accept the
answer for what it purports to be, and
TO give the new ministry reasona BILE
amount of time to try its policy, be-
fore again pressing it on the subject
of an immediate peace in Cuba. But
President Mckinley intends to keep
himself fully informed as to what is
done in trying to carry out the New
Spanish policy. AS one of the various
ways of doing that he has directed
Consul General Lee to return to Cuba
not later than the Goth inst. and to
closely observe the conduct of the new
Spanish officers on the island. Presi-
dent Mckinley doesn't wish to take
any step that will look to the rest OF
the world like bullying Spain. but he
is none the less fully determined that
the interests of the U. s. demand peace
in Cuba, and if Spain fails to bring it
about he will do it himself.

diseases which owe their origin to that
common disorder. Weak digestions and
poor appetites are total strangers to Hotel

greater per cent of constituents curative
of the class of disease referred to than any
