THE WESTERN BRIDGES BILL.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat publishes
the text of Senator VESTS bill, introduced
into the senate on the Sth of this month, to
allow the construction of bridges across the
Western navigable rivers at all necessary
points to accommodate interstate commerce,
and at the same time place such restrictions
upon bridge constructors that the bridge
shall not be a hindrance to navigation.
The bill, after a statement of its purpose,
defines what is meant by low, medium and
high-water mark, the terms always to have a
local application at the point where the
bridge is to be constructed, and the high
and low-water mark of one point not to be
applicable to another. The difference
between high and low bridges is
also defined. All slow bridges" must
be at least ten feet above high-water mark
and are required to be provided with a
draw worked by steam. Further provision
is made in the case of all draw bridges
against delay, either to boats or trains. All
bridges are to have their piers so located as
to leave navigable channel at all seasons
of the year. For draw-bridges booms and
protection piers must be provided, and the
bill forbids the construction of piers in such
places as to cause the formation of shoals
or cross currents. The bill provides that
bridges between st. Paul and the mouth of
the Missouri river may be either pile
or pontoon bridges, like the Prairie
du Chen pontoon bridge. From
st. Paul to Keokuk low bridges must have
two pivot spans, each of 100 feet, so located
as to leave navigable channels, while the
high bridges shall have at least two channel
spans, each of 800 feet. with clear chan
nelway under them. Before operations of
any kind may be begun on bridge over
any part of the rivers covered by the pro-
visions of the bill two weeks notice must be
given in the leading newspapers of the state
or states in which the bridge is to be loca-

P0OL-sELAERs swlNDLED.
How They Were ShreSvdIy Worked
for $4,000.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The booksellers
and bookmakers in this city We're swindled
last Saturday out of 5000 by band of
spectators. Since the opening of the
racing season at New Orleans most of the
boOkmakers here have been doing a good
business Notwithstanding the talk of the
| police, their rooms have been well patron
lied On Saturday business was especially
good. The different places were all filled
with crowd that placed their bets in
lavish manner. The betting on the third
race came in from the track. 1t was to be a
mile race, with five starters, and the odds
against them were even money on Bad
Swim. 9 to l on John Sullivan, to on
Fetch Taylor, 8 to l on Fleur de Lis, and
to on Judge Jackson, with Godfrey on the
outside The public played on nothing but
THE THREE FAVoRITES,
and some very large bets were made. All
of the bets had been made and the books
were about to be closed at No. As Chatham
street, where Goodwin Sc Co. keep open
house. Just before the instrument an
nounced the start, young man about "a
years old walked in, and drawing out
pocketbook coolly placed S25 on Judge
J Jackson at the odds of 80 to l, and walked
out He stood to win $3.50 or lose his S25.
The players in the Office thought this rather
peculiar, as no one had bet on the short
| horse. and the young mans face was not
familiar to any of them. THAT fellow is q
Western Union speculator," said tele-
graph operator in the room. Then the
books were closed. The result came more
quickly than was expected, and the short"
horse, Judge Jackson, was the winner. The
young man returned and nonchalantly drew
out $3.50 and disappeared. In all of the
different offices in the city the same incl
dent happened.
THE B0OKMAKERS
all paid their bets, but it was long before
the sequel to the young mans actions came
out. Ii began to be rumored that there had
been dot" among the telegraph opera
! tors to play a little game on the bo9fmlk
ers, and by comparison it was found that
the lively young men knew Judge Jackson
had won when they made their bets. The
bets rarely exceeded $25, yet every place
down town was worked alike and it is esti-
mated that over $4,000 in clear money was
taken out of the bookmakers' hands on this
| third race alone. The Western Union peO-
pie deny that any Of their operators lamp
cred with the wires or used information be-
fore sending out the start. They placed
the blame on the bookmakers who. they
say, have some private scheme of their
OWN.

BECK'S REVOLT.

Senator BECK may not be Judicious
man, but he is an exceedingly bold one.
True to the instincts of his nationality, he
possesses the old-fashIoned honest way of
a Scotchman of hurting out just what he
thinks, and will do it in the kirk just as
soon as in the closet. His assault on the
administration yesterday in the senate was
not the most polite thing in the world, yet
in spite of the unhappy effect it may have
of creating breach in the Democratic
party when of all things else unity is
needed, one cannot help but admire the
courageous manner of the Kentucky
senator in boarding the hon in
his den. He imagines > that the
administration is in league with the gold
bugs in an attempt to bulldoze congress into
some sort of a measure which will virtually
retire silver from circulation, and to that
extent appreciate the market value of gold.
BECK is bold commoner, who believes in
the old Democratic idea that the function of
an administration is to carry out the will Of
the people and to protect them from the
rapacity of spectators. Whether Ms.
BECK has just ground for his suspicious Of
the administration or not, it is evident that
he thinks he has. and is honest in his de-
nunciation of it. 1t is possible that the Ken
lucky senator has been led astray by his i'm
pulses. 1t will occur to the country that
he ought to have waited until he had ocular
demonstration of the business of his sus-
picions. The matter of regulating the cur
rency is now in the hands of congress. The
president has taken the liberty which the
constitution has granted him of expressing
his individual opinions and of making rec
concentrations to congress. His opinions
do not agree with Mr.. BECK's. but that if
no justification for the latter's harsh eX-
pressions regarding the administration.
When congress has disposed of the
subject there is no reason to
doubt that the presidents purpose
Is to execute the will of that body.
Whatever law congress may pass upon that
subject, it will be the duty of the president
to enforce it. If no bill amending the pres
ent law in regard to silver coinage be passed,
then it will be the presidents duty to en-
force the law now in existence. If he fails to
perform that duty, it will be time enough for
Mr.. BECK to assist him. Aid under such
a provocation as that he would have the
whole country at his back when he makes the
assault. As the matter now stands, Mr..
BECK exposes himself to the criticism of
seeking to vent his personal spleen toward
the administration at the expense of the
harmony of the party to which he owes his
position in the senate.

EASTERN papers are magnifying the recent
movements in Dakota looking towards state
hood. Nothing revolutionary is intended.
The recent action at Huron was simply the
expression of q portion of the people who
saw an opportunity for little brief notoriety.
None the less, the sentiment of the people as
whole is for the admission of the undivided
territory, with all due observance of formal
ity, as speedily as possible.

What a Governor Might DO.

New Y Ork World.
The Dakota politicians who are playing at
make-believe state-building should not go so
far as to elect governor of their bogus com
monwealth. A governor might appoint a
military staff, defy the territorial authorities
and call out the militia to storm the gates OF
congress. In that event Gen. Sheridan would
be forced to go out with his army and give the
southern end of Dakota to the sword.

A PRIVATE sECRETARY's JOKE

A PRIVATE SECRETARY'S JOKE.
Men of state have their worries as well
as men of low estate. Cabinet officers are
WHITNEY can very we'll testify. 1t is an
absolute impossibility for cabinet officer to
give his personal attention to the number of
letters which are daily laid on his desk
Consequently he is compelled to turn them
over to his secretary and leave to his discre-
ton the manner of answering them. 1t
happens that whenever any sort of public
meeting is to be held anywhere in the
country, from Maine to Texas, the first
thing the invitation committee does
is to send letters to the president and his
cabinet requesting their presence. The
stereotyped reply generally comes back of
regrets at being kept away by press Of of
fetal business and an expression OF sympa-
thy with the object of the meeting. When
a convention was recently called in New
York to further the cause of free silver
coinage, Invitations were sent to Mr..
CLEVELAND and all the members of the
cabinet requesting their presence. The
president and other members of the cabinet
either paid no attention to the invitation or
worded their replies in such guarded Ian
guage as to be non-committal. But See
rotary WHITNEY, according to his
usual custom, turned the matter over to his
secretary and thought nothing more of it,
until he was Mortified by reading in the press
dispatches an account of the proceedings of
the convention, in which appeared letter
addressed by himself to the convention, in
which is expressed the deepest regret that
he could not be present and that he was
heart and soul in the movement. The joke
of it is that perhaps no member of the cab
met is more bitter and uncompromising
enemy to the silver dollar than Mr. WHIT
NEY. His own statement is published to
the world placing him in false position.
No amount of explanation on his part will
remove the effect of his letter. Do YOU
| know, Mr.. WHITNEY, that the private sec
rotary is the man who did the mischief?
