HARBOR MATTERS.

r AGy;;es from Washington show that
there is nothing more encouraging re-.
garding the appropriations for our har-
Dor improvements than was acted last
week. The majority. in Congress seem
determined to cut down the appropria-
tons in every department, of public ser
vice, without any regard to the wants OF
that service. The carrying out of this
policy necessitated the cutting down Of
the appropriations for river and harbor
Improvements about two fifths. The
TRIBUNE showed last week that such
economy was extravaganza. In pursu-
ance to this programme Cheboygan har-
Dor was marked down by the committee
at $4,000, instead of enough to complete
the work as recommended by Gen. Welt
eel. r. Patterson, Esq. is now in Wash
ington. under instructions of the Board
of Directors Of the Improvement Asso-
citation, and has been st work to get the
estimate raised to $4,000, the same as
last year, and writes under the date of
the 10th that he has some assurances that
it may be raised to that sum. This is the
utmost that we can expect this year, and
selves well off.
Mr.. Patterson also writes that he feels
quite sure that the bill appropriating
$4,000 for range lights will pass, it hay
ing already gone through most of its
stages These are very important, and will,
when erected, make our harbor easy OF
access for all the business of commerce;
but the lack of the completion of the
harbor improvements, thus making a
harbor of refuge, will be severely felt By
the vessel interests, and the losses through
the failure Of completing it the coming
year will doubtless exceed many times
the estimated cost. The losses in the
straits last year, which harbor of refuge
here might have saved, would have COM
pleted the Improvement several times
over. We can only judge the future by
the past. We will have to be satisfied

The Michigan Press Association met

the appointment of a committee to take

two weeks prior to any municipal cleo

public business. It may he saidthat un-,
der the present-lawS, the books of all
public officers are open to inspection.
This is true enough, but how many of
the taxpayers inspect them? Very few,
so few that almost every board and pub
lie officer, which feel SO disposed, trans
act their business without due regard
forthe interests of the people, with rea-
soaable degree of certainty that no one
will examine Or. criticise the manner of
doing business. Outside of the fact that
the full publication of these matters
would bea restraint upon the manage
ment and expenditure of public funds,
there is another reason why the proposed
law should be enacted. Every taxpayer
should be enabled to know in just what
manner his money is spent without TAX
ing the trouble to go, i'm many cases, a
long distance and spend much time in the
examination of the books of officials.
When so much trouble has to be taken
for any such-purpose it is not done. The
best interests of the public at large re-
quire that this knowledge should be i'm
the hands of every person. The only
way that this can be done is in the man

trust will be successful.

geld mines in the Black Hills country,
nor that Congress must provide some
way for settling iwith the Sioux Indians
for the free occupation of the country.
There are .eyeIsthree thonsand niriers i'm
the Black Hills, and more are constantly
going there. A regular route to the Dig
gings has been established Mining vii
lages have sprung mp. Parties coming
out from the Hills bring back gold in
such quantities that doubt is impossible.
They also report many rich discoveries (;
and that most of the miners are doing
well, and will do still better when the
ground thaws in the spring. The miners
are much too strong to be driven out by
any possible Indian force. and they will
be too strong by the first of June for the
United States military to collect and
drive out, even if such a thing should be
attempted, as it will not be.

The proposals which were received by
the Local Commissioner ON Tuesday for
doing the work required to open naviga-
ton into Crooked Lake, renders the
completion of the work assured. Al
though the contracts will not be formal

clined 10 pay the. expense incurred for

cents. The benefits do not reach the
present only, but will reach into the fu-
ture many years, Increasing in proper

has refused to pay for the necessary pre-
r. limisiaiy Survey, which cost less than
four per cent. of the money to be ex-
