REBUILDING QUEBEC BRIDGE.

The engineering periodicals con- ment favorably on the decision of the Canadian bridge over the St. Law renee at Quebec, which failed so dis astrously under construction a year ago, Says the Scientific American: Following the report of the royal commission of engineers, another body known as the parliamentary commit tee, which was appointed to look into the financial and political aspects of the situation, reported in favor of reconstruction. At its last session it was decided by the Canadian government to assume all the assets and liabilities of the Quebec bridge and railroad company. and proceed with the work of rebuilding.
 It is safe to say that outside of the foundations and masonry piers. no part of the old structure will enter into the new bridge. The cantilever which fell is to-day mass of broken and badly twisted stel. The other half of the bridge was so far advance at the time Of the disaster that the whole of the material had been man. ufactured at the shops, and the great. CT part of it stored at or near the this material. amounting probably to about 10000 tons, can be used It is rumored that the work of de- signing and rebuilding will be placed in the hands of three leading bridge engineers. representing Canada, the , United States and Great Britain whether this be so or not. it will he a matter of great interest 10 observe how far, both in the outline and de. tails of the new design, the lessons of the great disaster have been in l eorporated. ."-Literary Digest.

It is very interesting to look at the
 history of the United States navy in the last forty years, as showing how
 the application of this same basic
 principle has been productive of
 splendid results. For a period ex- tending from shortly after the civil
 war until almost the beginning of the
 century, the promotion of officers was
 absolutely by seniority, this in turn
 depending on the vacancies produced by natural causes alone, thus assur- ing extreme slowness in attaining
 higher rank. AS if this were not
 enough to discourage able men, says
 writer in Engineering Magazine, in 1882 the number of officers was re-
 duced, making it almost certain that
 life time would be spent in the low
 CT grades. The natural result fol- lowed, and great many very able young officers, whose service should
 never have been lost, left the navy to
 engage in private business with it's
 much greater pecuniary reward. In 1897 the personnel board, under the
 chairmanship of MT Roosevelt, then
 assistant secretary of the navy. pro- vided for steady flow of promotion,
 which would guarantee to competent
 officers that they would get to posi- tions of importance, with reasonable 1 compensation, before they were old
 men. This system has been in opera tion now for about ten years only, yet the results are shown by an all most complete absence of resigna- tions. The bright men, whom the government has educated at great expense, are retained in the service, and it would require inducements which very few outside concerns
 would be prepared to offer, to get | them to leave. Indeed, the prospects l of any but the most brilliant men be- low the age of thirty are now much better in the navy than in business life. Incidentally it may be remark
 ed that the only thing that did keep l the good men who remained in the service during these discouraging l times was the assurance of a fixed tenure of office and the retired list in
 old age or in the case of breakdown. These, however, are rewards-al- though as has been shown previously,
 they were not adequate for the ablest
 men, the very ones whose resigna- tion should have been made almost impossible

Two and a half million investors own the American corporations Twenty million thrifty Americans are Indirect partners in corporate ven lures, says Frank Fayant in the De- cember Appleton's. These two dry as-dust statements of cold fact con- trast strangely with the highly col ored figures of speech of certain vel tion and with the fantastic fairy-tale pictures of the yellow cartoonists. The car seat student of American af- fairs who assimilates pseudo-political economy from head lines and car toons, has been led to believe that few ''magnates" own the railroads, the industries and the banks of the country, and that they are leagued together to enslave the common peo- pie" But the cold figures as reveal ed in the stock books of the corpora tions, tell very different story. The widespread ownership of the corpora tions is striking evidence of the faith the great body of industrious, thrifty Americans have in corporate enter prise, despite all recent disclosures Of the misuse of corporate power by the interruptions. This faith was shown, as it never had been before in our history in the recent disastrous finan- cial panic, when hundreds of thou sands of small investors came into the market place with their savings to take railroad, industrial and bank shares off the hands of thoroughly frightened speculators and capital ists. The popular fallacy regarding the ownership of the corporations has been in part due to very natural misconception. The rapid growth of industrial trusts and railroad com- binations in the past ten years has centralized control, and the careless observer has mistaken this for cen tralized ownership. But the central ization of control has been accompa- nied by the spreading out of owner ship.

Tariff agitation is not having the unsettling effect upon business at one time feared: the fact that many in dustries are less dependent upon the tariff than formerly and that no
 radical reductions are probable be- ing responsible for this state of pub lie opinion. says Banker Clews. It is very evident that the tariff is going to be reformed by it's friends only, and that no serious nsettlement of business is in sight. Even MT Car negie's remarkable statements had
 little effect, except to excite the op- position of other manufacturers. Upon steel securities the influence was practically nothing. In the mer- chandise markets prospective revis- ion creates little comment, because importers are carrying small stocks and a reduction in rates would help and not depress this line of business
 There is no doubt that judicious and moderate revision of the tariff would be positively stimulating to business. The only sufferers would be those who are now enjoying swollen profits and these concerns could often do equally well by simply using more modern and more economical meth ods Free raw materials would be a great advantage to many manufac- turers, especially when not produced in this country. The tariff upon lum- Der should receive attention, because it destroys instead of protecting one of our most valuable natural re- sources. The tariff on art. is also one of several absurdities, since it protects no interests and is positively detrimental to the development fart which could prosper vastly more in the United States if the best foreign examples were admitted free. This country is now so strong industrially
