RIVERS AND HARBORS.

Senators and representatives in
congress from the middle western and
southern states are in receipt of invi-
tations from the business mems league
of St Louis to attend monster con-
vention at which the subject of wa
terway improvement will be discussed.
The convention is to be held in st.
Louis November 10 and 16, and mea-
sures will be taken connecting the
Great lakes with the Gulf of Mexico.
Almost every member of congress
from the widespread district to be ben
Gifted will be present, unless some
thing unforeseen happens to prevent.
The development of the great ship
canal, however, will be only one among
many topics considered. The better.
ment of the waterways of the nation
generally will be taken UP, and efforts
will be made to impress on congress
the immediate need for appropriating
more money for this work. The great
increase in the internal commerce Of
the nation will be put forward as a
leading argument, and 1t will be shown
that the competition of navigable wa.
terways will result in far better ad-
justment of transportation tolls than
ever could be undertaken by the in.
terstate commerce commission or any
other body.
At present more than 40 per cent OF
the total revenues of the government
are devoted to the pension list and to
providing for the maintenance and bet
terment of the army and navy estab
lishments. While this percentage un
doubtedly is necessary, still the friends
of waterway development point out
that ii is strange that congress will

The old soldiers of Norfolk, who

three long, tedious years of constant

all of their prayers to Congressman

more than one instance in the state

offered Of the manner in which he has
conducted the Office of secretary Of

ground for criticism, because his ev-

an open book for which reason the
