Already the merchant who is alive and
who believes that his mission is to do

holiday goods and to tell the people

the maiden.

THE Philadelphia papers are discuss
Il ing with entire approval certain
expressions OF opinion by Representa-
tive Burton. chairman Of the River and
Hanbor Committee. Mr.. Burton inu-
mates that in the bin which he thinks
Is certain TO be passed. only streams Of
real Importance and harbors frequent
cd 10y many craft viii be regarded. At
least this seems TO be the interpreta-
iion put upon his remarks.
This program, however, may be modi-
fed when the bill is whipped into its
final shape, for the reason that Con-
gressmon are widely scattered, and each
OF them is interested in some local pro-
ject.
Doubtless there has been and Is a
great deal Of public money wasted on
streams that in no true sense are nav
igable yet the aggregate business in
passenger and freight traffic Of our
small streams is so vast as to be worthy
Of protection and encouragement.
And not every boat that goes up IN,
Delaware or which sails into New Yorl
harbor draws 80 feet Of water. There
are hundreds of sailing vessels and
small steamers which go over bars with
only five or six feet Of water under
their keels. These craft must have a
sailing point as well as a port Of des-
tination. Every small stream down the
Delaware Bay with six feet OF water,
sends its craft laden with passengers
and freight TO Philadelphia
It is Just as important to keep these
streams open to navigation as it is to
keep open the great harbors to deer
draught vessels. Congressman Burton
may not see this, and the great city
dailies may ignore &c. but the averag,
Congressman viii remember it.
