VARIOUS VIEWS.

The Importance Of timely legislation with re-
spect to the ascertainment and declaration of
the vote for presidential electors was sharply
called to the attention of the people more than
four years aRo. 1t is to be hoped that some
well-defined measure may be devised before an
other national election which will render I'M
necessary a resort TO any expcdient Of a tenn
poraryc character for the determination of oues-
tons upon contested returns.
ALASKA.
l regret to state that the people of Alaska
have reason to complain that they are as vet
unproyided with any form Of government by
which life or property can be protected. While
the extent OF its population does not justify
rltorial administration, there is immediate ne
ce&sity for constituting such a form of govern
ment as will promote the education of the peo-
pie and secure the administration OF justice.
RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
j ADVISE appropriations for such international
improvements as the wisdom Of congress NAV
seem TO be OF public Importance. The neces.
SHY oI improving the navigation OF the Mfssis-
sippl river ~tustifes a special allusion to that
subject. i suggest the adoption Of some
measure Tor the em0val OF ~obstructlops which
now impede the navigation Of that great cham
mel of commerce.
A LIBRARY BUILDING.
The senate Mt its last session passed a bin
for the construction or a building
TOT the library OF congress, but It failed to he
a law. The provision OF suitable pro
lection for this great collection OF hooks and
Tor the important department copnectcd with
u, mas become q subject Of national importance.
ana should receive prompt attention.

MARINE.

"A QUESTlON OF GhEAT INHERITANCE.
The continued decline of the merchant ma
rine of the United States is to be greatly de-
plored. In view Of the fact that we furnish so
large a proportion OF the freights Of the COM
mercial world, and that our shipments are
steadily and rapidly increasing, 1t Is cause OF
surprise that not only is our navigation inter-
est diminishing, but 1t Is less than when our
exports and imports were not half as large as
now, either in bulk or in value. There must
be 4 peculiar hindlance TO the development of
this interest or the enterprise and energy of
American mechanics and capital would have
kept this country at least abreast of our rivals
in the friendly contest for ocean supremacy.
The substitution OF iron for wood, and Of steam
for sail, has wrought Il great revolution in the
trade OF the world, but these changes could not
have been adverse to America il we had given
10 navigation interests a portion of the aid and
protection which have been SO Wisely bestowed
upon our manufactures. Icommend the whole
subject to the wisdom OF congress, with the
thai not a question OF greater mag
nitude or farther reaching importance Gun en-
gage their attention.
TIL CARE OF IMMIGRANTS.
In 1875 the supreme court of the United
states declared Unconstitutional the stat
utes OF certain states which imposed upon
ship owners or consignees u tax of $l.O for
each passenger arriving from a foreign coun-
try, or in lieu thereof required 4 bond to in
denlnify the state aud local authorities against
expense for the future relief or support of
such passenger. Since this decision the ex-
pense attending the care and supervision of
immigrants has fallen on the state al whose
ports they have landed. As a large majority of
such Immigrants immediately upon their ar
rival proceed to the inland states and the terri
tories to seek permanent homes, it is mani
testify unjust to impose upon the state whose
shores they first reach the burden which it now
bears. For this reason, and because of the ma
tional importance of the subject, l recommend
legislation regarding the supervision and transit
tory care OF immigrants In the ports Of de-
barkaiion.

THE DISTRICT.

AnA nv De
The report of the commissioners OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, herewith transmitted, will
inform you fully Of the condition OF the affairs
of the district, and the vUMl Importance of
legislation for the reclamation and improve
ment of the marshes, and for the establishment
of the harbor lines along the Potomac river
front. 1t is represented that In their present con-
dition these marshes seriously affect the health
OF the residents OF the adjacent parts of the
city, aud that they greatly mar the general
aspect of the park in which stands the Wash
inRton monument. This Improvement would
add to that park and the park south of the ex-
ecutive mansion. u large area of valuable land,
and would transform what Is now believed to
be a dangerous nuisance into an attractive
landscape extending to the river front. They
recommend the removal of the steam railway
lines from the surface of the streets of the
city, and the location of the necessary depots
in such places rs may be convenient for the
public accommodation. They call attention to
the deficiency of the water supply, which seri-
ously affects the material prosperity Of the
city and the health and comfort of its inhabi-
tants. l commend these subjects to your
favorable consideration.
