RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

The United States Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors has transmitted to Congress report
which is of great consequence to St Louis and to
the Mississippi Valley territory between this city
and Cairo. 1t contains estimates Of the work neceS
sary to deepen the channel and Of the probable cost.
The board holds that the channel should be eight
feet in depth and 200 feet WIDE or wider where the
alignment is unfavorabe. The tentative estimated
cost is $20O00.O0O in addition to expenditures al
ready made. with an annual expenditure of 100000
for maintenance after completion It is recommend
ed that $1.2Oo00O be appropriated at the present
session of Congress- to be devoted solely to dredging
and that 100000 should be expended annually for
cxpedients and permanent work other than dredg-
ing.
The bad state of the river between St Louis and
Cairo is notorious fact. This unfortunate situa-
ton seriously hampers the river trade. 1t is incun
bent upon Congress to take such steps will result
in the eventual improvement of the channel. The
appropriation as suggested by the board Is not too
large In view of the interests involved. National
moneys have gone chiefly to the lower river, which
now is well improved, and, accordingly, the claim
of the st. Louis Cairo district is urgent and impor
tant.

the aforesaid broad minded persons call "hobby,

But there are mighty few good fellows. in politics

when the question is put as to what he stands for,
there is no hesitation about the answer. He presses
along within certain narrow limits, distinct end
and aim in view. His energies not distributed
over wide field, but confined within circum-
scribed channel. If it comes To n matter of a vote
for him you know precisely for what you vOt-

best asset he has, and the best guarantee of effec-
tive conduct III office.
Professor James of Harvard. in writing upon
totally different theme, incidentally remarked: Po-
tca reformers accomplish their successive tasks in
the history of nations by being blind for the time
to other causes" This seems to sum it UP.

that an Interpretation of the Drabee primary law

HOLIDAY RECESS.

Tile House has passed the Terminal bill, but the
bill is not yet law. As it stands the legislation is
merely holiday comfort for the business fraternity
of ST. Louis At best it is assurance that the
House recognizes the claims of mercantile interests
and is disposed to give some help in removing the
serious difficulties.
Business men feared that the House would take
no action whatever. The passage Of the bill, even
with two amendments, produced feeling of relief.
But there would have been more cause for congrat-
ulation and qualification If the House had finally
settled the matter by carrying the motion to recon
slider the motion by which the bill had been passed
and lay it the table, Then the passage of the
bill would have been definite certainty.
The bill is passed and will be transmitted to the
Council January for concurrence with the Houses
two amendments. but the House may. on that date.
reconsider the bin and recommit it. &c. while the
bill is passed, It is not passed.
However, the motion to reconsider must be made.

that the company should meet circumstances they
are and accept the bill. Although the House erred
in declining to lay the motion the table, there is
probability that will reverse the action taken
just prior to adjournment there u.s. on the contrary
every prospect that the House will abide by that ac
ton. Therefore, while the House might become re-
fractory again, the company has a basis upon which
it arrange plans for beginning work at an early
date.
Commercial interests are suffering serious injury
from the nadequacy of terminal facilities. The ia
ciiities were adequate several years ago; but the
city and its trafac have grown considerably since
and at present the capacity is not sufficient for
Culinary conditions. Preparations must be made rap
idly, therefore. for the demands of the Worlds Fair
period.
tits true that legislators will have different views
to the details Of legislation like this and that, to
degree differences Of opinion should be respected.
Yet, there can be excuse for legislator in post
