SENATOR MILLER'S VIEWS.
WHY HE VOTED FOR THE BIII~IMPoRiANCE of
SPENDING LARGE SUMS on IMPORTANT WORKS


SPENDING LARGE SUMS on IMPORTANT "ohAs
AND FINISHING THEM PROMPTLY.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHNGToN. Aug 2.-Senator Miller, of New
York made 4 statement of his position regarding
the River and Harbor bill in brief talk with a
TRIBUNE correspondent. He said: | always voted
for the River and Harbor bill while was III the
House, though my district did not get a dollar out
of il. and vote for it now. | do not think the Dill
has had fair treatment in the public discussions
The question is not as II seems to me- IS the Dill a
bir one but are the improvements necessary, ana
have we the money to pay for them. nave studied
this bill with great care, as member OF the
Commerce Committee, and l do not De-
lieye there is ten per cent OF waste
in the whole of it. When You can say
that of an appropriation bill, you are dong very
well. My only objection would be that not enough
money is expended on the large and important
works The bill might wisely be much larger than
il is. if it was increased by more liberal appropra-
tions for great and necessary improvements; but
man in whose districts small Improvements OF much
local interest are needed Will not vote sums 1or
large improvements OF National charac, er wlthout
Getting consideration for their own localities Ill re-
fnrn' In that way a great many small items are
brought into the DILL . =, ,.-:s :s m
"As matter of policy it would be wiser II sufii-
cient money were appropriated to carry forward
great National works to speedy completion, taking
them up in turn instead of dribbling out fifty or
sixty thousand dollars year for ten OF fteen years
for some work instead of closing it up in three or
four; ANY business man If he had house 5 to 9uid
would build 1T as rapidly as he could DO
1t economically, and then he would be
getting return for his money There are great %
works i'm this bill, like those in Yaquna Bay, Ore
gon, Charleston HarbOr, South Carolina and at
Baltimore The true policy wonld be, instead OF
appropriating handful of money for long mum;
Der of wears to such works. to give the engineers all
the money needed as fast they could properly
spend it; then we should get prompt return from
the outlay: ~, ~ os
great Importance ana benefit to the people OF New
York although the press and people OF that city are
against it. One of the first things that follow the
opening of great harbOr anywhere Is the estab-
lishment of a line of steamers to New-York, thus
developing its trade as well as that OF the whole
country Besides the people of New-fork, who
have one of the finest natural harbors i'll the world
and who have done most of the work that Is needed
there ought to be willing now to see other local.

follows the policy / have spok ken OF, and spends
very large sums in completing improvements rap
idly instead of making great many piecemeals."

HARMONIZING THE PARTY.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-AnOther of the Pennsyl-
vania 3O6" has been forced to take an office In
order to do his share of harmonizing the party.
Harrison Allen, who was nominated the other day
for Marshal i'll Dakota, was a Grant delegate at
Chicago, and was talked of for the appointment
of United States Marshal for the Western
District of Pennsylvania. which was afterward
given to james S. Rutan. well-known Pennsyl-
vania Republican, who has taken no part with the
Independents publicly privately, said today that
President Arthur had not made single appoint
ment of general Importance i'll that state
which Senator Cameron had not asked
for. The only general appointment which was
really satisfactory TO the anti-CamcrOn element
was that of j. i. Wickersham to be Minister TO
Denmark, and this Senator Cameron had joined i'll
asking for. The rcappolntment of Mr.. Eyeter to be
Assistant Treasurer at Philadelphia determined
upon by Cameron only after the Independent re-
volt. Previous TO that time he had intended to
remove Eyster and put in one of his own men, and
yet the President really seemed to think, this gen
tleman said, that he was harmonizing the party

FLORAL TRIBUTE TO SENATOR CAMERON


WASHINGTON, Aug PA handsome floral anchor
made its appearance on Senator Cameron's desk yes
terday morning. The youthful Senator who is never
sentimental except when dispensing champagne
10 fellow Senators in a committee-roOm preparatory
TO vote ON disputed post office, seemed a little
uneasy, and the anchor soon disappeared. A great
many asked themselves what 1T meant without
getting any satisfactory answer. The idea that it
was in some way symbohcal OF balm for political
toothache was rejected after mature reflection as
entirely illogical suggestion that il was sent in
by some of the Senator's constituents. who sup
ress by this time, thought be an exhibition Of
leyIty on "a very serious subject The most natural
inference seemed TO be that 1t sent by the RI
resentauyes OF the POI Naval officers 10 whom Mr.
Cameron has recently rendered such conspicuous
service,
