LEGISLATION FOR EFFECT.
Many of the Bills introduced in Congress
to Innress Constituents at Home.

Many of the Bulls introduced IA soDss -
to Impress Constituents at Home.
Less than five per cent Of the bills
introduced in Congress relate to PuD.se
business. Instead, they have to 90 Wish
matters bearing directly or indirectly
on the congressman's hope Of renomlns-
ton and reelection. The total numDer
Of house bills introduced during the
first session of the fifty eighth Congress
Gncluding the special SESSION., was lo,-
576. OF these, only 1,645 were puD'ic
measures. The other 1921 were prf-
vate. Two hundred and sixty-four pup
lie laws we're enacted and 1896 private
laws. Much Of the proposed private
legislation was put in without any
thought of its ultimate passage; but,
whether it was expected to pass or not,
and whether it was pushed or not, the
purpose Of its introduction was generally
the same-to give an appearance OF
activity and influence "the boys" az
home.
About thirty-fve per cent of the coz
gressmen rely on river and harbor leg1s-
lation to carry them through. Many
bills relating to proposed improvements
are introduced which are not included
in the big general measures, but some
times they do almost as much good as
if they were passed, SO far as their
effect on the voters is concerned, e.
pecially ii the introducer is Of the mi-
nority party. Then he can assert that
the demons Of the other side prevented
favorable action on his projects, and
thus kept justice from her throne.
Not many years ago man who had
persistently brought the claims Of pet
project before the river and harbor COM
mittee broke down when he saw that
his reiterated arguments were hav-
ing no effect.

bled committeeman, as he wiped the

Driving Her Along

copyright, 1906. by Homer sprague.l
Captain Keggs was fifty years old
the day that the steam collier Arab
finally limped into the port Of London
after the longest and most tempestuous
voyage she had ever made and during
which she had come close to founder
ing several times. When the captain
went up to the office to report he found
a new man at the desk Bliss the elder
had died. and Bliss the younger had
taken his place. He was man OF
twenty- three, who had just left cricket
and college and life of do nothing,
and he had come into the firm to teach
it how to do business. He was waiting
for Captain Keggs.
MIR. Bliss, we have had the worst
gale for ten years back. A part of the
time the Arab was actually driving
astern with every pound or steam the
boilers could bear
what the boat evidently needs is a
new captain and engineer.
But no man can do better than his
best, sir, and it was touch and go with
her half d dozen times on this trip.
Some of the big liners waited day
before going out"

Eyes, sir" replied the old captain as
he turned pale and swallowed at the
lump In his throat.
'',rhe weather will be no excuse after
this. The Arab viii either come In on

he had been told what time was to be
allowed the collier for her future trips.
ITO make that time we'd want mill

and back. and then the engines would
be jumping out Of her or shaking them
selves to pieces. Is there no allowance
for gales or fogs?n
None whatever"
s'But there are laws to compel as tc

MODERN CANALS.
Waterways in Europe and Some Planned
in America.
E. A. Drown, Barre, Vt.

Since the war with Germany, in 1870
II, the canal system of France has been
improved and enlarged at the cost of
about $500000,000. That country has
over 1900 miles of canals and nearly
400 miles of rivers so improved for
purposes of navigation that they are in
large measure artificial waterways. The
great network of French canals is all
government property, and tolls are not
charged.
In Germany the cost of improvements
in internal waterways, mainly rivers,
in the decade from 1890 to 1899, both
years inclusive, was nearly s75,000,000.
In recent years the development of Ger
man canals and rivers has gone forward
at a great pace, and many important
projects remain TO be carried out. The
Rhine and the Weser are to be con-
nected by canal Berlin is to be made
much more truly seaport than it is
now. the upper Danube is TO be Joined
with the Rhine and other vast improve
ments are to be undertaken.
Less advanced countries have made
notable progress in this development of
internal waterways. Austria Hungary
has approved a project for the connec-
ton Of the Danube with the Oder and
ultimately through the Oder TO the Elbe
and eastward to the VistuIa, at the ex
pense Of S50,000000. Russia is seri-
ously considering the opening Of ship
canal between the Back Sea and the
Baltic
The Don and other rivers would be
utilized for large part Of the distance,
Ia f.f-
paratively few engineering problems.
1t is a large enterprise, demanding much
money, and it may be delayed because
of Russia's financial burdens, but there
is no doubt of its feasibility, and ii
will yet become a fact.
All through Europe the canal and the
canalized river are more valued than
such waterways were a few years ago.
The railroad is no longer looked upon
as the destroyer of inland waterways.
1t is perceived that both the railways
and the canals and rivers will be needed
to meet the demands of trade and in
dustry.
These Old World conditions show that
the canals and other internal waterways
of the United States will surely enter
upon stage of development which will
far exceed their earlier usefulness. The
realization of great canal projects which
have seemed extravagant to many Amer
leans is only question of time.
There win yet be a ship canal between
Lake Erie and the Ohio river. Another
win connect Lake Michigan with the
canalized tributaries Of the Mississippi.
There will be deep water channel all
the way from the lakes to the Missis-
sippi and the Gulf, probably two such
highways OF commerce. 1t il likely that
a channel for large ships will be cut
from Delaware Bay TO Chesapeake Bay,
another from Georgian Bay TO the ST.
Lawrence by river. improvements and
canals available for large vessels. There
is no limit to the great undertakings
Of this kind which may yet be carried
to entire success in the United States
and Canada
The twentieth century may prove the
greatest century for canals which the
world has ever known Cleveland Lead
