OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
PASSAGE OF THE RIVER APPRO-
PRLA TON BILL.
" ASHINGTON, d. u April 10, 1910

L
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10, 1875.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The House passed the river and harbor
bill, which appropriates $5,972, $50 for
the improvement of rivers and harb0rs
throughout the country. Tennessee gets
S422, 600, of which the Tennessee gets
$500, 600; French Broad to Leadvale gets
only 10, 900; the Clinch and Powel's riv-
ers get $22, 900. A provision authorizes
the survey of the Holston river above
the mouth of French Broad to Union,
and Of the Nolachucky river. The bill
received the support of most of the Ten
nessee members, all except Thornburg
of the Knoxville district, who voted
against it. The sum appropriated to our
rivers is not as large as desired, but it
commits the Government to the work of
improving our rivers. and is in that re-
gard an important advance. This is the
only appropriation made by the Govern
ment of the United States for the inn
provement of the rivers east of Knox
Vile Not a dollar has ever been ex-
pended by the Government under Re-
publican rule for fifteen years. With a
Republican Representative for eight
years past, not dollar has been receiv-
| ed or asked for our rivers east of Knox

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
This ancient town has been quite live

and the Holston Presbytery, have drawn
a number of people from abroad and the
home-folks have opened wide their hearts
and houses for the entertainment of their
visitors.
came here on Friday last, by the way
of New Market The road is somewhat
rough but the Intelligent contraband'
who held the reins was careful to select
the smoothest drive. Being his only
passenger he seemed to consider it his
duty to entertain me, which he did with
out once referring to the vexed question
of politics.
The first time mine eyes rested upon
cambridge | was not favorably impress
ed with it. There are charming homes
here into which / have been privileged
to enter and where l have found a gen
uine hospitality not surpassed anywhere.
[ see but few evidences of hard times
in this town. There are number of
churches, two good schools and two
good hotels.
The church members are said to be
earnest and active and the schools and
hotels receive a liberal patronage
Speaking of hotels reminds me that
there are some miserable failures in this
line, throughout the South. You some
times find an abundance of table cloth
but nothing to eat, while at other times,
the dishes are not very INVITING owing
TO an abundant lack of soap and water
[ notice the attacks upon Gov. Porter
because of his appointment of Col Nc
Kinney, to the judgeship made vacant
by the death of Judge Gillenwaters.
When the matter is understood fully
| it will be seen that the Governor has
not acted with indecent haste" but that
he did what was entirely proper under
| the circumstances
1t is an easy matter to ''pitch inn to
! public officer, but there is frequently
| more sound than sense in these on
slaughts.
Senator Key seems to be catching it
| now from the wise men in charge of
newspapers.
He may have erred in his vote in the
Mississippi matter, but if so, he was
honest in his view of the case. l move
that we ''call off the dogs" and let the
Senator explain. A man who has the

spected for his fearlessness and not be
slimed over with abuse for doing what
he understood to be his duty.
