We are glad to learn from an exchange
that "NIr. Thomas believes in the improve
ment Of the Mississippi river ami has ac-
cordingly introduced bill In the house ap-
proprating $6,0O00O0 for that purpose."--
But is it really true? Does Mr. Thomas
really believe as this exchange says he
doesl Did he really do what it says he
did, II so, h. has experienced a complete
change of heart and mind which his con
srituenls will certainly applaud. But we
will not congratulate ourself too hastily;
we will wait and see how he votes. Form
erly he was always in favor of river i'm
provement unit ballot was about to be
taken upon the subject, when he would
play either the coward or the open enemy.
We shall dstrust him now until he proves
hmaef to be what the exchange would
have us believe him to be.
