KANSAS CITY Is working very vigor ously and olllclontly in behalf of her proposed Missouri Rlvor Improvement convention which Is to m ot December 15 and 10.

The scope of the discussion and wide range of membership give promise of a very Interesting meeting. MUH. J. EhiMiX FOSTHK in a long and well written artlolo In last week's Now York Tndependont admits that prohibi tion was the primary cause of republi can defeat in Iowa. She alloos that prohibition democrats talked against but voted for Boles and something like 15,000 other prohibitionists went oil after pooplo'd party straugo gods. Still J. Kllou believes in prohibition and plain- tlvoly declares that she and the prohi bitionists will fight for every inch of Iowa soil. It is clear , however , that the luloutod and nonpartlsan lady BOOS the handwriting of future defeat on the AtiKHICAX TIIADK. TIIK HrK prints olsowhcro an tutor- vlow with lion. J. W. Love , consul to San Salvador , which contains valuable suggestions for tlio inniinfiioturors and merchants of the United States regardIng - Ing trnilo with Central America. It nocd hardly bo said that Consul Love Is thoroughly convinced , as the result of very oaroful Investigation and observa tion , that great benefits may bo derived by tills country from the cultivation of closer eommorcinl relations with the Central American state * Progress In this direction Is being made , the statis tics allowing that there has boon a stonily growth of trade between the United States and the countries of Cen tral America ; but there Is opportunity for enlarging our business with those people , who are generally very friendly to tills country. Consul Love points out I hat one of the first things requiring the attention of the shippers of American ire nls to Cen tral America is to puck thorn with refer ence to the conditions of Inland trans portation. Most of this Is done by the primitive means of ox-carts and inulo- backs , so that packages must bo of such size and weight as to render the handling convenient and the carriage practicable. Hut our great dlsadvant age is in the higher fi'oignt ' rates which are chained on American mer chandise competing with Huropeun mer chandise. Heroin is presented another example of what wo are losing for the want of it merchant marine.Vo must depend on foreign ships to take our goods to the ports of Central America , and they naturally discriminate in the matter of charges in favor of the manu facturer ) * and merchants of their own countries. Thus it is that Europeans can ship goods from their principal ports to Central America at a lower charge for transportation than similar merchandise is required to pay when shipped from Now York , although the dilTurenco in distance is largely in favor of the American port. Tills disadvan tage will continue so long as wo do not have our own vessels for the transporta tion of our own products , oven though wo should bo able to undersell the foreign competitors. Mr. Love states that of the fourteen lines of ships handling the trade of Central America only one sails under the flag of the United States. It is probably only a question of time when reciprocity arrangements will be effected with the republics of Central America , and when this is accomplished it may prove an incentive to the estab lishment of American transportation lines. The people of those southern countries , whoso trade is worth 1111 ef fort to secure , are anxious to bo on closer commercial relations with the United States , and according to Consul Love they are prepared to enter into any fair and equitable arrangement this country may propose. Whenever they can deal with our manufacturers and merchants aa advantageously as with those of Europe wo shall have no trouble in securing their trade. * . \r.itu.in. The reports regarding , the state of trade in England indicate the beginning of n period of depression which may have serious consequences for that coun try , and which suggest some eonsidora- tioif.as to the possible olTect upon the United States. England has enjoyed several yours of more than ordinary prosperity. Ilor manufacturing in dustries have been making money , her commercial enterprises have boon profit able , her transportation interests have paid good returns. There has boon a steady and largo accumulation of capital which , being in excess of the demands and opportunities for homo investment , has found employment in various parts of the world , a considerable amount having coino to the United States. Por- Iiaps if her prosperity had boon loss crcnorous the outlook would not now bo quite as threatening as reported , for a much less amount of capital would have gone to aid such wild and reckless financial schemes as those In Argentine , which drove the great banking house of the Barings to the verge of bankruptcy. The shock of that event the financial system of England Ins not recovered from , and it is doubtless to a larger de gree responsible for the existing condi tion of all'airs than any othoronociroum- stance. It created a deep sense of dis trust that must have had a damaging effect on enterprise. Another cause cited in explanation of the growing trade depression In Entrl.itul is the hos tile tirtlTs , which on every nido are re ducing the markets for the manufac tured products of that country , our own tarilT playing a larger part in tills direc tion than that of any other nation. Ad vices from Franco report that a uumlrjr of industries in that country are also depressed , and tito cause of this is charged directly to the operation of the American turilT. Some of the -ouch manufacturers whoso business lias mi- torially decreased allege this cause with a good deal of asperity. It is an obviously sound general pro position that the permanent prosperity of aVy nation doing business witli the world at largo depends upon all the na tions being prosperous. D it in tlu present somewhat exceptional clrcnin stances the immediate prosperity of this country is assured regardless of what may h.ippan to the Industries of Europe. Our surplus products will certainly find a market there , whatever the measure of economy that may be forced upon the people by reason of inadequate employ ment and reduced earnings , and they will bo taken at prlcoj that will bo profitable to our producers. It has boon a question as to what extent Europe would bo able or disposed to pay for our products in cash , and this is suggested with rather more force by the reported prevailing conditions , but It Is Interesting to ob serve that thus far there Is no disposi tion to return American securities , they being , on the contrary , the only securi ties sought after. It Is possible that later on a change may come In this par ticular , and it Is not Improbable that Europeans may force their products upon the American market in exchange for our products ; but , In any event , we should bo the gainers. There la still another consideration , and that la the probability that a largo amount o' capltil cm ploy oil In Euronoan manufacturing industries will bo trans ferred to the United States. From every point of view there appears no reason to apprehend that the prosperity of the fulled States will bo adversely alToeled , at least In the Immediate future , by the growing commorclal and Industrial de pression abroad. . Tim txiHitiuti nnr.inrstKST. Hon. John W. Noble , secretary of the Interior , has presented lits report to the president , It Is very voluminous , but also able and Interesting. It Illustrates the great Importance and variety of , ad ministrative topic * entrusted to a single dop.'irtnu'nt and Is a Very strong argil' mont in favor of a division of its duties. No one man can possibly master the essential principles ' incident to the wide range of subjects grouped Into tills department , Originally it was perhaps ol little comparative consequence quence , but it has grown with the rapid development of the country to bo the department employing the great est number of olllcors and clerks , ex pending directly the largest amounts of money. Tliero are half ajlo/.on bureaus included in the Interim1 department which embrace administrative duties requiring the highest olllclal qualifica tions. Running over the topics treated in Secretary Noble's rnport , wo Hud that ho reviews the bureaus of lands , Indian atTalrs , pensions , census , patents , rail roads and education. In addition , the geologieal survey , the terri tories , Yellowstone National park , Yosemite - semite National park , the Hot Springs reservation In Arkansas , G moral Grant National park , the Casa Grande ruins in Arizona , the Sequoia National park , the Nicaragua ! ! canal , Howard university , Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb , the national institutions for the blind , for feeble-minded and for foundlings , the Frcodman's hospital , the general hospital for the insane in Wash ington , are all _ under the supervision of the secretary of the interior , to whom also the architect of the capitol reports. Tno bureaus of public lands , educa tion. Indian all'airs , pensions , patents , railroads and the census aroeacli de partments in themselves , distinct from each other , and requiring of their chiefs rare administrative ability , hard work and special information and experi ence. The land commissioner must bo a lawyer and a judge , as well as an cfllcicnt executive. The commissioner of Indian all'airs must bo gifted as an executive olliccr , and bo able also to pass upon the most delicate points of law. In addition , ho must also bo a philanthrop ist and educator. The commissioner of education cannot perform his duties sat isfactorily unless ho be a man of broad culture and experienced in the practical duties of the instructor. The pension commisioner occupies the most delicate position of all , for to him como ques tions of law , justice and right , upon tiio determination of which the expenditure of millions of dollat a of piiblie money depends , to say nothing of individ ual interests of nonsionors. The superintendent of the ' census can not bo a man of mediocre attainments in the line in which ho is especially expected to servo the public. The ramifications of statistical informa tion arc infinite , and the head of the Census bureau must bo a very level headed , competent executive. The patent business is a profession and a trade. The growth of this branch of the public service has boon most remark able. No small man can succeed at the head of this department. The railroad commissioner must bo a man of Integrity and ability. His duties are peculiarly dillicult of performance. When wo como to think that after the i-ecrotary of the interior lias given each of his bureau ollicers the time necessaiy to transact their business properly , ho is only about half through , and that the small and exasperating details of a score of other administrative matters are thrown upon his shoulders , we may well wonder how any man's health bears up under this immense load of responsi bility.

SOMKUODY is to blame for the utter indHTorcnco to public convenience shown by the grading contractors. Our streets aio simply disgusting by reason of the earth dropped from dirt wagons. The Hoard of Public Works lias very little to do tjioso days , and might follow up some of the violators of the ordinance , prohibiting the removal of oirth in any thing except close bottomed wagons , file formal complaints in the police court , and prosecute the same with vigor and persistence.

Inland commerce was somewhat contracted , because there was In all but 100 miles of railroad which wore owned by the governments and operated by them or under lease. As u consequence , nearly all the transportation was either by two-whcclou ox-carts , on pnjU mules , or on the beads of men. This was a matter which the American shipper should understand and bo guldod by in the matter of making shipments to these countries. Heretofore , they had experienced n number of drawbacks , because of the slzo ot the packages in which they made up their exports. Experience had taught them that a bundle of goods for those countries , to be1 handled easily , should not exceed lf > 0 .pounds in weight. All the big machinery to bo used in mining and in the cultivation of sugar and rlto nnd all electric plants for thu Interior wont there piecemeal , in uaru weighing at the utmost not moro than UOO pounds. What This Country Kiirnlslii-H. The United States furnished at least 75 per cent of the equipment , nnd roll ing stock used on all the railroads. Daldwln anginas were used there on all the roads. The latter in the main were narrow gauge. The majority of the rails wcro made in the United States , though some of them came from England. Mr. Love said that a great drawback which our people suffered from was the fact that our hardware did not reach those repub lics. It was wanted there. The reason it did not llnd on try wns uoc.uiso of the freight rates. There were few Unltod Stales ships , and the freight was less from Kurupo than from Now York. Ships could bo loaded tit Antwerp , llelgium , or in England , with nails , bar iron , shcot iron or barbed wire fencing , which could bo bnuuht nt the same prlco as In New York , but which , notwithstanding the great uilTorqnco in thodistanco in favor of the United States , could bo delivered there at less OXDOIISO to the consumer. These vessels returned to their Oivn countries laden with coffee , sugar , dye ana fancy woods. Ot the fourteen lines of ships handling tlio trade of Central and Soutli America , only ono carried or sailed under the stars and stripes. This told the story. England and Cicrmany , and by Germany was understood there Belgium , Holland , Sweden and other countries , were manufact uring articles of various kinds and standard reputation In this country and labeling them with American branus. Mr. Love know of many cases of this infringement. The goods were generally of an Inferior charac ter , ilo had seen so branded Colt's re volvers , Smith & Wesson revolvers , Florida water and a number of other goods. 1'roof of this deception was now being taken with n view to seeing whether or not it could bo prevented. People AVIio Go Tliero. Mr. Love stated that In Central America ho did not beliova there was one native norn citizen of the United States In every four elnltnintr our protection. The majority were from foreign counuios. There were many Germans and Jews. They wcro good business men , and were prosperous. In many of the cities , however , there were people who had loft this country for their own protection or who had erono thither simply to make money nnd return whence they had como. These mndo poor citizens. They were bad representatives of the United States. - Business men , oven with little means , but honest and energetic , would bo appreciated by citizens nnd olliclals and would make a financial success. The republics of Central America oxpoctcd the United States to bo the dominating power of the American continent , and would readily join in any line of eommnnlcatlnn or international entornriso or commercial rela tions that might bo brought about.They a.ikod the United Stntos to incromo Iho com- niorco between the two countries ny inonni of United .States steamships from Now Yor and San Kraticl.sco nnd nlso that the lines that the United States had already MibsUt. Izoil bo looked Into. They nlso nskod that thooxtcnslvo thieving from package whllo lit transit , be fully Inrestlgiuod nnd some body or company bo hold responsible for such loss , rho busitic.s.s firm * In most cnso had no recourse for any coeds so lost. They also wanted n quicker , moro extensive - sivo and closer connection by means of caolo and telegraph with the United Stntos. When they could , they scoured all lines of United btntc.s products , building material , fabrics , canned goods nnd medicines. 1'hoy claimed also that they could got from the factories and Jobbers of the United States bolter goods for their money than they could gut from European houses. American producer. ? could judge , ho said , as to the prollt there was In trailo with those countries when they learned that sugar cured hams retailed nt from 75 cents to t\ \ per pound , . ' nnd that American canned button from San Francisco also sold for fl per pound. The greater part of the butlur consumed , however , com us from the iirltlsh Inte.s and the Netherlands , All the butter could nnd ought , ho said , bo furnished by the United States. ami Skilled Men. There wcro vast quantities of cotton goods used which were not manufactured In Cen tral America. In this line the United Stntos took the lead. Uui England made uvtry effort to deprive her of It by tlio Introduction of shoddy mid Inferior stuff nt lower prices. In thu matter of labor there was an open ing for reliable and campotont cnclncoiM and mechanics. To such , good positions were certain and pay was nmme. Electrical engineers , railroad engineers , master inechanlc.s and engineers for coffee and sugar plantations would find no diniculty In securing good places , fair , wages mid extensive authority. They had had too many fnko engineers and worthless Individuals who had boon Intro duced by moans of fraudulent papers. Any engineer of reliability and ox porliMicu could get f 151) ) to $ . ' 100 n month. More- than that , also , had been paid. Mr. Love know of a colored mnii who was recolvlngl-"i a month. Each engineer was also allowed a servant. Climate of tlio Country. The climate was anything that might bo desired. It varied according lo Uio oiova- lion. On the lowlands and ut llu < coast It was hot , but not of the dopre.sMng er the destructive - structivo heat which prevails in this couu try. Sunstrokes were unknown. At an ele vation of from li)00 , to 'J , 500 foot the climate was perfect. In a year It would not vary I0 = . The seasons wcro divided Into what were known as the rainy ami dry .seasons , or winter tor and summer. The former was also con sidered the winter nnd began In May or Juno and extended to October or November. The dry season continued the remainder ot the year. In the order of their importance the crop * weru coffee , sugar , malzo or corn , rlco nnd in digo for the upper lands 1 , ' , ' 00 foot and up wards. In fruits they produced bananas of all varieties , many of which were never seen In this country ; cocoannts , pine npnles , he- sldo other nnd unnumbered fruits of nil kinds. I'otntoos , wheat nnd oats were shipppcd into the country , nnd commanded high prices. Corn was cultivated there In n manner en tirely different from our style , and was of an Interior quality. Salvador is uno of the most thickly settled places on the globo. The population was composed of Ca Ultnii Spaniards , Salvador eans and a few Iribcs of Indians. Thu people wcro bright , Intelligent , linoly formed , , Industrious nnd peaceable. The wholesale trudo of the country was conducted by foreigners. Germans were iti the lead. England was second and the United Stntos was third. Tlio banking system of Central America was conducted by British capitalists. The retail trade was conducted wholly by women in their markets nnd bunks on the streets. They had many line stores nnd big ones , too. From Immnmiel llospllal. OMAHA , Nov. 28.
