BOOMING NAVIGATION

The Bismarck Tribune gives an in
timation of the possibilities of Mis-
souri, river navigation. The Northern
Pacific road has put on fleet Of
boats, and now comes the report that
the Milwaukee will do likewise.
The Tribune SAYS: There is to be
thousand cars of Hooking Valley
coal shipped from the river landing
here to points on the construction
| work of this new extension of the N.
p.
Men and pile drivers are at pres-
ent employed at the landing driving
plllng Tor the construction of new
docks, upon which q side track will
be laid to allow the boats to be loaded
direct from the cars. Those who
have not visited the landing since the
spring season on the river opened,
have little idea Of the amount Of
shipping that is being done there.
All of the diminutive locomotives
that will be used on the construction
work have been loaded on barges and
will start down the river Thursday
morning to their respective destina-
tlons. There are several boats at
the landing waiting for their cargoes
each day, and it is stated that
couple more large steamers have
been secured for the work on The up
per river and are expected to arrive
here in few days.
ut is undoubtedly the businest
season that has enjoyed in local
waters for these days.

A FRANK CONFESSION.

Elihu Root, admitted to have been
the brainest man in Roosevelt's cabi-
net, and one of the ablest men In pub
lie life today said in addressing the
senate on the tariff bill:
We have been here for over three
months considering and discussing
and voting upon the measure Sof pro-
lection that it is necessary to give to
keep alive and prosperous the bust
ness Of tens and hundreds of thous-
ands of corporations engaged in man
ufacture and trade affected by the
protection tariff. What do you know
about these corporations? Upon one
hand we have garbled and partial
statements; upon the other equally
garbled and partial stasements: and
no means of distinguishing the truth.
we are under the necessity of pro-
ceeding by guess work, by conjecture
always with dissatisfaction because
we recognize the chance that we may
have guessed wrong about whose
statements come nearest the truth. I
should like to see the commissioners
OF internal revenue the next time the
tariff bill comes before congress,
statements, under oath and tested
year by year, about the business Of
all this vast multitude of corpora
tlons that come appealing to us for
help, so that we shall not again be
compelled to come to the conclusion
that all Of the business Of the United
States is on the brink Of failure
In so speaking Mr. Root stated the
plain truth. The tariff question has
never been dealt with as it's impor-
tance deserves. 1t has been foot.
ball for politicians and manufactur-
ers. So it is encouraging to hear
man occupying the position Of Mr..
Root take such sensible position
and give such excellent advice upon
this subject.

TO CONGRESS: PLEASE ADJOURN.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: For
more than one reason the country
Will be glad to see the Payne bill en-
acted and congress adjourn. The
tariff has engrossed the country's at
tention for over four months, to the
exclusion of almost everything else.
1t wants now to be allowed to give
some thought to other matters. The
crops are beginning to be harvested.
For the next few months the farmers
will be busy gathering the proceeds
OF their seasons labors. Soon the
railroads will begin to feel the impe-
tus of the great tribute of the wheat
and corn fields. We are promised a
larger yield of corn and oats than the
country has ever seen, while the
wheat will not be far below the big
gest record. The mills, textile as
we'll as metal, are getting up momen-
tum which recalls the busiest days of
the past. All the signs in the finan-
cial sky-all except continued high
prices for food--are propitious. The
only favor which the country can
reasonably ask now is that congress
shall finish it's work on the tariff just
as speedily as practicable, so that
business, in making it's contracts for
the future, can have something de-
finite to build upon.
