Mississippi River Appropriation.


The committee appointed by the Alssis-
sippi river convention, recently held in this
city, appeared before the committee on rivers
and harbors to-day and made arguments in
favor of an appropriation for the improve
ment of the Mississippi and its tributaries.
Representative Clardy appeared for ex-Gov.
Stanard, Mo, president of the convention,
who was unable to be present. Clardy urged
the appropriation of the amount recommend
ed by the Mississippi river commission for
the river below Cairo, and the amount
recommended by the army engi-
neers for the river above Cairo especi-
ally, and he urged the appropriation of
$1,000, 900, the sum recommended by the
engineers for the improvement of the river
between Cairo and st. Louis. He said the
appropriations for the past few years had not
been commensurate with the necessities Of
the case, and advocated larger appropriations
generally for rivers of national importance,
and smaller appropriations, or none at all,
for the smaller streams heretofore provided
for. Clardy also favored an appropriation in
accordance with the recommendation of
Major Senter, for the general improvement
of the navigation of the Missouri river. He
was disposed to look with disfavor ON the
appropriations for special locations.
Geo. >. wright, secretary OF the recent
Mississippi river convention, said the Missis-
sippi river had not received its proper pIopor-
ton of past appropriations He asserted
that out of appropriations amounting to
S476,000,000 made for internal improve
ments up to 1880, the Mississippi valley had
received only $4,000, 900, while the east and
lake country received $500, 100000. Our
people, he continued in view of these things,
cannot understand why it is that when de-
mand is made for the Mississippi river and
other great interests of the valley, the major
ity Of the eastern members sit as if chained
to their seats, and almost unanimously vote
nay. He asserted that while
the people of the Mississippi valley were di-
vided in every other question: they were
united on this, 'the first question upon
which, for a century, they could mite"
