ANY action looking to the approval or
endorsement of the scheme for obtain
ing the unreasonable appropriation by
congress of seven and thlee-quarteI &
millions dollars ostensibly for deep sea
harbor at Galveston, might well be left
to those who could be benefited by the
passage ofsuch an act, and would bear
little significance from any quarter. 1t
is too plainly lobby measure to give
promise of serious consideration when
called up. The day of improvident and
reckless appropriations of public funds
closes with the advent of a Democratic
administration and the vivlfying OF
Democratic tenets. And under such an
administration, to obtain Federal aid
for public improvements it must be
made apparent that such improvements
promise benefits Of general character.
This can scarcely be the case in the
Galveston, matter Notwithstanding the
latest Typographical map.
