THE H4RBOR IMPROVEMENT.

Some of our bilious contemporaries, tired
with watching and waiting for Congressional
action about the Kidwell Bottoms, lifted up
their voices and scolded Senator Ransom.
Had their foresight been up to the require
ments of first-class journalism it would have
occurred to them that the gallant North
Carolinian is not only good friend of the
District, but good strategist He knew
that though lie might perhaps get a good
bill to reclaim the flats and improve our
harbor through the Senate it would De apt
to get a black eye in the House. As it il the
first step that costs, he wisely took the view
that half million in the River and Herbor
Bill, where, we may remark in passing, the
subject properly belongs, would be better
than million and half in a separate bill
sent over to the bear garden " to be there
smothered under the multitude of bills on
the table. Besides many others, the Sem
atOr's plan has the merit that it avoids all
direct controversy with the numerous cranks
on engineering and river hydraulics who
belabor as impracticable every definite propo-
sition to benefit the District. By turning
the details over TO the Army engineers who
have charge of harbor improvements all over
the country, "a. Watson " and " b. Sever
" "son" are left painfully out in the cold.
Senator RansOm's sagacity has proved equal
to his courtesy.

While bombarding Alexandra, Mr.. Glad,

iessions of freedom from "blood- outlines, +"

better from the lingoes " they have taught
their followers to despise. When it is re-
membered that Gladstone and his following
have cultivated a feeling of hatred for the
Turks, and that they have now actually

States, we can see where the course of the
acute Beaconsfeld would probably have

Cabinet is forcing the Sultan into the arms

seizure and fortfcation of the Suez Canal.
But then, will not a permanent occupation
of Egypt destroy the AngloFrench concert,
and leave England without an ally on the
Continent The situation seems TO be
fraught with dangers of the utmost gravity,
yet, on the other hand, it is possible that the
Liberal ministry may welcome foreign war
as diversion of the public mind from the
lamentable failure they have made in

The first step taken by the English com.
mander has been painful failure. He is in
possession of 4 city in ashes and some ruins
OF forts, but Arab and his army must be
pursued up the Nile. 1t is needless to say
that Admiral Seymour is further from gain
ing the object sought than when he had his
enemy i'll Alexandria. The proper English
policy was TO temporize until ready to land q
force and capture the cause of all the trouble
The massacre of numerous Europeans, the
destruction of a vast amount of property, and
the escape of the Egyptian leader and his
army, are the natural consequences of the
stupidity which has governed the movements
of the English. They would have done well
to have conned the speeches at the recent
reunion in Detroit, where it was shown thai
the vital error which made failures of 81
many campaigns of the Army of the Potoma,
was in treating places like Richmond instead
of the opposing armies as the military OBJ
iprtiVp.

NAVAL MEDICAL CoRPs.-There is one pro-
vision In the Naval Appropriation nm as 1t came from
the Senate which meets the hearty appreciation OF
the Medical Corps, and somewhat reconclles them 10
their loss OF numbers, namely, the abolition OF the
title Assistant Surgeon and the stil clumser desgna
tion OF Passed Assistant Surgeon. In calling all the
junior medical officers surgeons the Senate has sim.
ply followed the example OF the French and British
nayies, IN which this has been the rulo for years.
The young medical oflicer enters the service not as
uovicc but regularly ordained priest Of his pro-
fcssion, iocordtus in drts msdicd, and may at
bo calod upon, unaided aud alone, to exercise the
highest functions and the gravest responsible
tiles of his calling.

sold last Tuesday, at Steilacoom, to

The aggregate amount this year is
smaller than the clip of 1881, but the

The shortage is attributed to the
loss of sheep by wild animals, the
bounty for killing which has been

GRAND LODGE AMENDMENTS.

The most important business IRAN
sacted by the Grand Ledge of Work
men at their session Just closed in
this, place was the adoption of the
following section in the new consti-
tuition:
Any beneficiary certificate sus-
pended by reason of non-payment of
assessments thereon, may be re-
newed, if the member be living, at
any time within period of three
months from the date of suspension,
upon the following conditions, and
none other; that is to say: LIST.
All assessments that have been made
during that time shall be paid. ID.
This fact shall be reported to the
lodge at stated meeting. 3D..
The lodge shall by majority vote
declare said certificate renewed.
When all these conditions shall have
been complied with, the beneficiary
certificate shall be held as renewed
and in full force, and not before.
Heretofore the constitution has
not been clear on this subject. Some
lodges held that the payment of
dues alone was sufficient to restore n
member to the benefits, without for
NAL action of the lodge, and courts
in several cases have thus decided.
Under the section above quoted
beneficiary certificates can only be
renewed by a majority vote of the
lodge.
The question of creating a reserve
or sinking fund has been discussed
in many lodges for the past year,
and was brought before the Grand
Lodges. Sentiment for and against
the measure was about equally Ii
vided. 1t is we'll known that in all
orders which pay benefits to the fami-
lies of members, the older ones
seldom withdraw, and to keep the
ranks filled up with young men is
no easy matter. The fund is pro-
posed for two reasons: First, to be
drawn from in case of excessive death
rate from epidemics or other causes;
and second, to insure to young MEM
bers that their burden of assessments
will not be greater as they advance
in years. The question as to how
the fund shall be created was re-
ferred to a committee of five, who
will report to the Grand Master, and
he will submit their report to the
subordinate lodges. Grand Master
Child has not yet named the COM
mittee but will do so i'll few days.
DR.. J. \. Child, Grand Master of
the \. 0. L. W. has announced the
following committee to devise plan
for creating the reserve fund for the
payment Of death assessments: w. ID.
Hare of Washington county, Chair
man; j. H. Skilmore of Sheridan, J.

ANOTHER CAsuMrY.-Last Satur-
day, as Arthur and Carroll Brown,
SONS of Mr.. b. +. Brown, of Napa-
vine, were in pursuit of deer, the
former mistook a sudden movement
of the underbrush for the trail Of the
animal and discharged his gun, seri-
ously, if not fatally wounding, his
younger brother. The ball entered
between the right shoulder blade
and the spine, passing through the
lung and coming out just below the
light shoulder in front. 1t is a dam
gerous wound, but some hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
