sTOP THAT FLATS TALK

The one thing that has done more than all
others to retard the necessary appropria-
tions for our harhor Improvement has been
the habit Of our people and their newspa-
pers Of speaking Of it as " the reclamation Of
"the nats," OF "the river lats improve,
Inent instead of calling it what il really
is, viz; u harbor improvement. Thus the
incidental good to be accomplished has al
ways been pushed TO the front, while the
substantial feature Of 4 necessary and proper
harbor improvement has been kept in tho
background. As the improvement of a
good harbor, which has an important com
meros Ianguishing because il has not re-
ceiyed the care from the General Government
which all harbors that have Congressmen to
look after them receive, the claims Of the
harbor of Washington would command re-
spect and attention that will not be given tC
any Rchomes for reolaimiug a marsh for the
rake Of making more healthlul what is al
ready one of the healthiest cities in the
world. This misnomer has done and will
do the harbor improvement great harm. i

sEauLAmY enough, although the great
railway corporations have partly succeeded
in tneir struggle against the striking freight
handlers, the defeated strikers come out of
the contest with the sympathy Of the pub

because their demands were moderate, and
because their conduct was peaceable The
victory of the corporations will be the
costliest one they have ever gained, The

carrying Federal interference into every

framed with special and exclusive reference

can the Federal statutes regulating their

Evidently MIR. Brewster's distinction is a
mere legal quibble devised to serve present
party eXigency. 1t has already been pointed
out as in obvious conflict with the Hubbell
theory, that IL members of Congress are not
officers of the United States, the President
of the Senate and Speaker of the House are
not eligible to the succession TO the Presi-
