: Delaware has recently chosen a
United States senator. Delaware !!
Hardly. After the Delaware legisla-
ture had gone through the form OF
electing Mr.. Alice, Mr.. Addicks said:

best friends, j. Frank Alice, United

Where did Mr.. Addicks get the mil
lions with which he corrupted the
state of Delaware and made his friend
senator?
He got these millions in Boston.
He got them in the form of dividends
upon Watered gas stocks. Virtually
| the Boston common council has been
issuing to this man franchises con-
ferring upon him a monopoly OF the
business of supplying the city with
gas, and also giving him the legal
privilege to charge more than the gas

| tributing to corruption fund to be
used to debauch legislatures in Della
ware. II you trace that corruption to

Boston council. Nay, you must go
back to the ignorance and Indifference

The Independent has made arrange
ments to receive each week an
abridgement of the sermons preached
by the Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, pas
tor of the Vine Street Congregational
church, Cincinnati. If other preach
ers had as clear conception of eco
nomic questions and were as fearless
in their utterances as is Mr.. Bigelow,
it would not take long to arouse the
people to the point where they would
correct the crying evils of our times.
Text: Render unto Caesar the things
which are, Caesars"
1t would be too much to-affirm that
Jesus, when he uttered these words,
intended to do more than to disclaim
any intention to incite people to in
surrection against the Roman rulers.
But if Jesus had had a, perfect
knowledge of modern civilization, and
If he had aimed to reduce to single
sentence the advice most needed at
this time, he could not have improved

Recently a train, loaded with peo-

That man lived within so miles of the

lionaires. The Mississippi has no arti-
fetal groves, no macadamed roads, no
palaces along its banks, but it has
more-nature.
The great bluffs are forest covered
with the picturesque irregularity that
nature alone can give. Where the for
ests give place to bold rocks they are
as nature fashioned them.
In historic interest no other stream

between their -ural homes and that

products of the individual farmer to
the consumer more economically and
with greater accommodation than the
railroads. AS you watch the boat pillow

tatoes, bale of cotton. or a t another
place half dozen hogs, few cattle
or sheep, one can realize the impor-
lance of these boats to the local com.
munities. To the small producer from
the soil they represent the expensive
middle man. At a small expense they
market his products. They will take a
single hog to market Tor him for so
cents, half a dozen sheep at 25 cents
each, cow for $1.50.
Along the lower river the railroad
may pass the farmers door; he may
be interested in watching the iron
horse pass backward AID forward from
day to day, but it is with the river
steamer that he is intimate. he knows
its owner. its captain. its pilot its
mate. To him it is friend, and not,

800 miles in about 40 hours, affording
an opportunity of leaving ST. Louis on
Saturday afternoon and returning on
Monday morning. Out of 200 passen-
gers on that boat, there were not half
dozen who were making the trip be-
cause of scenic or historic interest,
They were people of the small towns
returning home from the city, or, on
the up trip, going to the city for bust
ness or pleasure. They were people
from the city or the smaller towns out

their patronage, cater to the wishes of
this class OF patrons. Bands furnish

mains outside to view the passing

Take away this excursion business
and the local traffic between "land-
lngs' and the passenger travel on the
river would be almost thing of the
past. 1t would dwindle to such small
proportions that it would be unprofi-
table to cater to it at all, for the
stream as tourist route is not yet
fashionable. The railroads have killed
the commercial interest of the past,
and new interest has not yet been
awakened.

Louis seems busy stream to-day.
The great steamers, both side and
stern wheelers, line the wharf all
along the river front of the city. But
it is not the business of the past.
Where there is one boat to-day there
were three 20 years ago. Will the
holding of the exposition tend to re-
vive the old conditions? 1t seems
that it should.
Both freight and traffic made steam
boating profitable in the old days. 1t
was the great artery of commerce for
the middle west. To-day the railroads
have displaced it to a great extent.
They line both it's banks almost from
St. Paul to New Orleans. They touch
at practically every town. They have
gradually forced the freight rates
down until they are at bed rock. To
get any business at all, the boats must
necessarily make lower rate than
the railroads. and to do this leaves-but
small margin of profit on the COM
paratively small amount of traffic they
can secure. AS they make fat 100
pound rate, the freight shat is given
themis of the bulky class, which brings
but small returns in comparison to the
space il occupies, and is expensive to
handle.
These conditions the exposition at
St. Louis will not and cannot change,
but it should tend to materially in
crease the passenger traffic on the
river, and make it more popular with
the scenic-seeling tourist.

The exposition here will bring to
the banks of the Mississippi many
hundreds of thousands of people. The
excursion boats will carry goodly per-
centage of these people up and down
the river for short distances, at least.
Every person for love for the beau

of this desire will grow new period

OF course, this is but prophecy, but
remember it. If these things do not
make possible new lines of boats, built
for passenger service, the rivals and
superiors of those of the old days, then
the writer will acknowledge the inef-
ficiency of advertising. For the same
reasons that the boats from Albany
to New York are profitable to-day will
line of palatial steamers from ST.
Louis to New Orleans be profitable
within few years. To-day such trip
is impossible without change. From
st. Louis to Memphis is the longest
ride that can be taken upon any one
steamer engaged in regular service,
but the men and money are ready to
build the boats the public demands,
