RIVERS md HARBORS.

The President could not he blamed il all APP
propriatiOns for river and harbOr improve
ment should fail this year. 1t is the duty OF
| Congress to make honest and reasonable APP
proprations, and this no one can say that 1t has
done. With that strange and callOus cynlclsm
which pervades the atmosphere at Washington
members almost without exception confess that
the River and Ilarbor bill is indefensible as a
whole. though each member defends the par
ticular appropriations which he expects to help
his reelection. LII common talk at Washington
the bill is called The Big Divide" and there
is not even pretcnce OF denial that 1t en-
braces stealing to the amount of millions. The
President is fully aware of the fact. He knows,
also, that it embraces many appropriations for
important public works, which ought not to be
DELAYED for lack OF funds. Under these cir
cumstances, it might sbe difficult
matter for him to decide what to do, if a veto
of the bill necessarily involved failure of
appropriation for public works OF real merit,
| or if, on the othera hand, signing tie bill
necessarily involved expenditure of all the
money therein appropriated.
But the President is not in this posi-
ton. large amount of money remains
in the Treasury, in uneXpended balances
from appropriations for the last fiscal
year The aggregate is said to be about
s., 900, 900, which is quite enough to expend
for any honest purpose in the five months OF
August December inclusive, and before the
end of December Congress could make any
needful appropriation for the balance OF the
year. The precise amount thus available is
not known, for bills due under contracts for
last year have not yet been settled, bat 1t is
stated that the greater part of the uneXpended
money is available for the works of greatest
merit and Importance. If these are the crcum-
stances, veto would not involve the sns-
pension or abandonment of really needful
work, even though Congress should be unable
to make any new appropriations at this session.
On the other hand, signature of the bill would
not necessarily involve expenditure within the
present year of all the money appropriated.
That this is true clearly appears from the fact
that large unexpended balance from last
wears appropriations is now on hand. Presi-
dent Grant, it is true, claimed credit for formally
refusing to use all the money Congress had
voted. But other Presidents, including Cen
eral Arthur, have taken the same course with
cut making any rublic outcry, and there can
be no doubt that it is justified by precedent
and by law
Hence it is not matter OF Overpowerin2

out. Mr.. COoper's figures are simply prepos-
ferrous, and there is no reason to suppose that
he is deceived by them.
The plain fact is that there are two Republican
tickets in the field, and there are not enough Re-
publican votes in the State to elect more than
one. Indeed. it is notorious fact that first
class Republican ticket, satisfactory 10 DOM
Republican factions, could be elected over Mr.
Pattison the Democratic candidate, only by
hard work. 1t could be elected undoubtedly,
and would be- but it would require hard work
to do it. No party can breed quarrei IKE
that which Mr.. Camerons management mas
caused in Pennsylvania and not lose strength
bv il. In addition to this, there is MIR. Patti
SONS indenendent reform record, and the fact
that thousands of Republicans in Philadelphia
have voted for him as Controller and have seen
no cause for regretting it. What they have
done once they will find it easy to do again.
II is absurd to say, therefore, that General
Beaver has any chance of being elected. lie
could not be if the Independent ticket were
out of the field He simply blocks the way
The Independents say he represents Bosssm,
against which they are fighting, and that so long
rs he STAYS in the field they will stay. Upon
him and not upon them rests the responsibility
of the threatened disaster. Senator Cameron
put him in the field in the face OF the lndepeh-
dent protest because he did not believe The In
dependents would dare to continue their OPP
position He has found out now that he mis-
calculated, but rather than retreat he will de-
feat the party. Let the responsibility be put
where it belongs, upon the Boss system.
We have been hoping that the Republicans
of the State would rise IN their might and save
the party from defeat by deposing the Boss
before election day. Perhaps they will yet. but
the prospect is not encouraging.

public Importance whetherJhe President decides
to sign the River and Harbor bill, and to permit
the use of only so much of the money rs he
pleases, or to veto it, and rely upon une1-
pended balances for the previous year TO keep

to be rid of members whose principal object

But it contains provision for manyl useful
public works which the President will no doubt
take care to have prosecuted without delay

AJWAYS IN FAD COMPANY

The Democrats are everywhere having great
trouble with the temperance question. Here
tOfore they have been prOliting rather than
losing by i, for whenever the Temperance party
ran separate State ticket they worked in
directly but effectively in the interest or the
Democratic party The Democrats, while
not making open declaration of sympathy with
the liquor interests, were in close alliance
with them and were assured of all the votes
at their command. In this way they had the
aid of extreme temperance and antitemper-
ance people, while the Republicans, who were
the best friends the Temperance party ever
had. lost the votes of both. This situation
greatly delighted the Democrats, who looked
with much compacency upon the annual per
Torrance of the temperance people biting their
own noses oil.
This year, however, witnesses striking
change in the situation. The Temperance ana
Republican parties are working together Ill many
States, aud the Democrats find themselves III
a most perplcXing position. If they come out
openly i'll defence of the liquor sellers,
they invite overwhelming defeat, for in nearly
all the Western States the people are aroused
AS never before against free rum. If, on the
other hand, they assume a virtue, ana declare
in favor of temperance, they will ALLEVIATE the
liouor vote and cut themselves of from all
hope of victory. In States like Iowa it makes
little difference what position they take, for
they are certain of defeat anyway, but in Mainc
Ohio and Indiana the case is different If
they dodge the issue they are defeated and
if they take either side they are no better OIL
I'm Ohio they have lodged by meaningless
declaration against sumptuary laws. They
will face the question in Indiana tomorrow,
and will probably dodge again. There is ex-
cclent reason to believe that they will lose
both States by the naneuyre. In Maine they
are certain to be defeated anyway, and their
complete silence upon this absorbing question
will only magnify the disaster.
All this gives us great satisfaction. AT
last the Democracy is forced to the front in its
true character. 1t is aud always has been the
rum sellers party, and now that Justice has over
taken the rum-sellerS the party must share In
their punishment. There has not been bad cause
of any kind in this country since the party was
founded which it has not fostered in order to
gain its votes. Slavery, secession, reputation.
cheap money, Mormonism, Ku-KluXsm, free
rum-all have been nurSed and petted by the
Democracy sometimes openly sometimes
St cretly. One by one disaster has oyertaken
all, and whenever one goes down the glorious
old Democracy totters q little nearer to its
Grave.

but it may be some time before accounts can
be adjusted and increased payments made
1t has voted more money for rivers and har-
bors than the President will expend. On the
other hand, the interest now accrung is at
the rate of about $50, 100000, against about
$70,000,000 paid last year, railroad bonds
included, but will diminish at the rate of
$525,000 every time call for $15,000,000
natures. Thus, if the revenue increases
$4,000, 900, or only 10 per cent-and the
present increase in imports is much greater
the surplus is likely to be even larger this year
than it was last. To go before the country
insisting upon so large an excess of taxation,
for no better visible object than to force con-
traction of bank circulation as fast as possible,
does not seem wise policy
Gold is going out of the country still, of late
at the rate of about 81, 500, 900 each week. 1t
is true, the exports of wheat begin to increase,
but in corn, cotton or provisions no gain is to
be expected for months. Even if exports
should become as large in August and Sep
tember as they were in those months last year
or in 1880, which is not probable, even then
they would scarcely suffice to balance the de-
cared value in foreign ports of the present
imports each month, leaving the country in
debt for freight-money, interest, insurance,
profits of importers, and undervaluatiOns.
Hence, unless imports decline materially,
there is not much ground for believing that
shipments of gold will cease. The extraordi-
nary demands arising from the war in Egypt
may cause much larger sums to be drawn from
this country. And yet, with this state of facts,
Congress insists that the country shall con
tinue to pile up every month 50, 100000 in
silver dollars that it cannot possibly use, in
stead of sending to foreign markets the silver
bullion in place of gold. 1t is difficult to see
how this waste can be justified at time when
all intelligent bi-mctallists are declaring that
continued silver coinage here only helps Great
Britain to prevent silver coinage elsewhere by
international agreement.
Congress certainly ought to be able to leave
the country in a more satisfactory situation
II it is not now prepared to mature and enact
such changes of the laws as it DESIRES cannot
Congress invest the Secretary of the Treasury
temporarily with some discretionary power to
avert any mischief that may RESULT Is it not
possible to do little more wisely than Con-
gress has done thus far?
