FROM LAKE TO GILL;

The victory won at the Peoria con-
vention for deep waterway from Chi
cago TO the gulf is bearing fruit. The
executive committee of the Illinois VAL
ley association, representing interests
hitherto hostile to the Chicago drain
age canal, has taken steps to secure q
congressional order for surveys OF a
route along which to extend the drain
age canal to the Mississippi. This
marks the beginning Of the second
stage in one Of the greatest commercial
enterprises that the world has ever
seen. The first stage was the construc-
ton Of the Chicago drainage canal
a work whose magnitude has not been

CRITICISM GOING MAD

There is nothing more remarkable in
the administration OF the army and
navy than the amazing inability Of off,
Gals to keep their mouths shut, says
the Chicago Tribune. The retailing OF
gossip, and scandals as well, and the
public criticism OF officers and OF su-
periors is something unprecedented in
the military annals of this or any other
country. The latest illustration OF
this is contained in the unbecoming
and astonishing report OF Admiral
Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of
navigation, to the secretary OF the
navy, in which thinly disguised at
tack was made upon Admirals Dewey
and Schley and upon congress.

The Late Ohio Campaign.

Conservatively put, the modifying OF
the president and cabinet forces by
Senator Mark Hanna in the endeavor
to save Ohio for the Republicans has
cost the taxpayers one-quarter OF a
million dollars. True, the nation was
not called on to pay directly the ex-
penses OF the stumpers on their palace
car, vote-cajoling tour, but indirectly
il will foot the entire bill, says q New
York weekly. From the departure OF
the special train carrying the execu-
tive and all his cabinet save Gage
who fed the town before the men
agerie was corralled-there was COM
plete stagnRtion Of public work. The
business OF the nation was practically
suspended. Government taxeaters had
a grand holiday. Many were assessed
TO aid the corruption OF the ballot in
Ohio, but this was looked upon as a
necessary evil. Even the president
was assessed. His personal check for
$1,000 was given to Senator Hanna the
day following the T. st OF Admiral
Dewey, at which the great sea-fghter
firmly and emphatically declined to
become a member OF the presidential
stumping combination. This refusal
spoiled a scheme OF Hanna-McKinley
Matching. But the special train OF ad
ministration stumpers made its
schedule round. For the first time in
history the dignity OF presidential Of
fee and cabinet portfolio was lowered
by an exhibition. vulgar, yet purely
Hannaesque.

Which Show How Little We Know sf
Each Other and of Our Country.
Only eighteen percent of all the fam
lilies in America employ domestic help,
leaving eighty-two percent without
even one servant. II all the dress
makers known to exist in America
worked twenty-four hours Of each day
for a whole year, without stopping for
sleep or meals, they would still be
able to make only one dress apiece for
less than seven-eights of the women
OF America. Not six per cent of all the
women in America spend as much
money as fifty dollars per year on
their clothes. Out of twelve million
American families the income OF four
million Of these families is less than
$500 each per year, and the incomes OF
nearly eighty per cent Of the entire
number are less than $1,000 each per
year. There are scores OF placs In

Columbus, Ohio. Telegram: Strong
resolutions denouncing Hannaism and
trusts were passed at a mass meeting
OF the city travelling statesmen the
other night. Every wholesale and
jobbing house in Columbus which sells
to the city trade was represented by
one or more men. or the total Of 14O
city statesmen a large majority were
present. In selling goods to the retail
stores OF the city the statesmen have
had bitter occasion to rue the existence
OF trusts. Prices OF the staple COM
modlties used in every household OF
necessity have been steadily rising
for the past year. The work OF sales
men has therefore been made harder.
while In no instance have their salaries
been increased proportionate to the
extra work involved. and the increased
expense OF maintaining their families.
At to-night's meeting OF the statesmen
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas. During the last eighteen
months trusts have been formed with
out number, until today We find every
article OF household use controlled by
trusts or combinations, and
Whereas. BY comparing the prices Of
1899 as against those Of 1898, we find
an advance OF from so to $50 per cent
in every household necessity. OF which
