WASHINGTON, ID. C., June ). 1880.
Wien the river and harbor bill was under
discussion in the Senate, Senator Voorhees,
expressed himself as anxious to see rivers
of silver" flowing through Indiana. OF
course by this he meant he wanted large APP
preparations made for his State, and was
willing to have rivers manufactured to ac-
commodate the silver he desired to see flow
ing through them. This idea seems preya-
lent among the Democrats. They don't
consider the true principle of national i'm
proyement contemplated. bu, TO gain favor
with the people, appropriate the public mon
ey for improvements Of merely local impor-
lance. and even Improvements where no nv
ers or harboys exist. As an outcome of this
desire we see this bill increased. by the dis
ciplcs of "retreuehmcnt" and reform" TO
twice the amount estimated BY the Republic

mates Of the Treasury Department were

sary TO carry out the principle of National
