The Proposed Hail.

The decision OF Judge Adams, refusing
the application for an injunction against
the County Commissioners IN the county
jail case, no doubt meets with the ap-
proval OF about all the citizens of the
county. 1t is to be hoped that no further
effort will be made to prevent the building
of the jail or TO prevent 1t from being
located on the site selected for 1t.
The Commissioners have in their DOS
session dozen or more plans for Jail
building, some OF which were prepared
by architects OF national reputation.
There is no good reason why these plans
should not be examined at once, with the
view Of selecting one OF them. II there
ls not among them one that will meet the
requirements of the Commissioners, other
plans ought to be solicited without delay.
There Is "a general desire that the jail en-
terprise shall he pushed forward as rap
idly as possible.
The understanding seems to be that the
Commissioners are disposed to act
promptly, and that II no further obstacles
are thrown In their way it will not be very
long before the cornerstone Of the struc-
ture will he laid. Indeed IL il probable
that II they will act with energy and de-
cision they Will not be troubled to any
great extent by the opposition OF those
who have been hindering them.
There is no occasion to fear that there
will be a decrease In the value Of property
IN the vicinity OF the proposed jail. The
Commissioners are pledged TO erect
structure hat will be an ornament to the
city. II will rather help than hurt prop
erty in its neighborhood. Let the Com
missioners meet at once and 20 forward
with their work.

A few days ago the newspapers stated
that the President had expressed a desire
to see at the White House Senators who
had objections to make to any OF his APP
pOintments. Considerable doubt was ex-
pressed relative to the truth OF this state
ment. Some of the Republican Senator'S
thought they would rather take their
| chances OF defeating in the Senate nomlna-
tons Objectionable to them than to 90 to the
President about them. 1t seems, how
ever, that Senator CullOm, of Illinois, and
Congressman Plumb, OF that State, con-
cluded they would see the President about
an appointment particularly obnoxious to
them. The appointee in question Is the
Postmaster at Streator, Ill. They were
kindly received, and the President said
that the newspaper statement, that he
would like to see those Senators and
Representatives who had complaints to
make about his appointments, was true.
Messrs. Cullom and Plumb told their
story about the postmaster in question.
The President asked them if they knew
the information they furnished him to be
true. They answered that they did not;
they only gave what they had heard. OF
course this was not satisfactory. The
President informed them that he would
have inquiries made, and if their COM
plant was we'll founded he would not
send the name of the Streator post
master to the Senate.
Could anything be fairer than this? By
his conduct in this case did the President
not prove his only object to be to put good
men in office? Would it not be a much
wiser plan for all the Senators who think
they know OF appointments not fit to be
made to go to the President and state
their reasons for thinking SOP If they
are DESTROYS OF doing only what is right
It is probable they will accept the invita-
ton the President has extended to them.
Ii Senator Cullom had not called on the
President he would have objected doubt
less to the confirmation of the Streator
Postmaster, and yet, from his own story,
he knew nothing against him that
he could testify to. Perhaps objec-
tons will be made to a good many
Of the nominations on mere heresay evil
dence. If the nomination of the Streator
postmaster is sent TO the Senate Senator
Cullom will know that his charges were
not we'll founded, and will have, therefore,
no occasion to raise an objection, but if it
is not sent then he will know that the
President has found the charges to be
true, and discussion of the matter by
the Senate will have been prevented.
More of the Senators ought to follow Sena-
tor Cullom's example.

From the "Reminiscences of Ben: Per5y Poor.
After Gen. Grant had appointed Judge Taft
Secretary of War, he invited a number Of the
leading Republican Senators to dine with him
at the White House, that they might become
personally acquainted. He forgot, however,
to invite Judge Taft, who consequently was
not present, 80 those invited to meet him did
not have the pleasure of seeing him,
On another occasion, when Congress was in
vestigating the Washington real estate pool,
Gen. Grant sent one of his sons to the capitol.
TO invite informally dozen Republican Sena-
tors to dine at the White House for a confer
ence- The young Grant mistook that stanch
Democrat, Senator Eli Salisbury, for Senator
Morrill,, of Vermont, and so invited the Della
warlan. His presence acted like an extin-
guisher on all political talk. and he. after
having wondered all through the dinner why
he was invited, hurriedly took his leave when
the cigars were introduced.

The Inland Route to Florida.

Before the passage OF the last river and
harbor bill, the MORNING NEWS called
attention several times to the necessity
for making an effort TO get Congress to
make appropriation for the opening of
Understands cut, through Romney marsh,
instead Of wasting money to open way
through the marsh for the sole purpose of
reaching Warsaw island by Ia short route
Those who ought to make the interests OF
the city their own, however. neglected to
take any action in the matter, and the
small appropriation that was made for
opening route through the marsh was
ordered to be applied to the cut that has
for its object the Improvement Of Warsaw
Island.
There Is no objection to the improve
ment of that island, provided the improves
ment IN not at the expense of import
ant interests of the city. The money that
has been spent in Romney marsh has not
done, and is not likely to do, the city any
good. This our business men are begin
ming to see. They are now ready to ack-
nowledge that they made a mistake when
they neglected to follow the suggestions
Of the MORNING NEWS at the time the
last river and harbor bill was being
framed.
What is wanted is a good inland route
for steamboats, to Florida. and this can be
had only by opening Habersham's cut
The preparation OF another river and bar
Dor bill will soon be begun, and our citl,
zeDs, particularly those who have an in
terest in the trade along the coast, and
the inland waters of the section OF coun.
try to the south of us, should not waste
any time in getting an expression of opin-
ion and all the influence they can control
in favor OF an appropriation for opening
Understands cut. 1t will not answer to
have little meeting and pass a set OF
resolutions. What is wanted is a petit
tion signed by all whose names Will likely
have influence where influence is needed.
There is no doubt that the opening OF a
satisfactory water way between this
point and the Florida line would help this
city, in a business way, wonderfully. The
engineers are familiar with the Haber-
sham's cut route, and have always an
proved it. They can be depended upon 10
recommend that whatever money is ap-
propriated for opening a route through
Romney marsh shall be applied to Haber-
sham's cut. The steamboatmen, the mas
ters Of vessels who have occasion to use
the inland route, and the rice planters
south N the city, want this cut made
navigsble. Why then should there be
delay in taking steps to secure the neces-
sary appropriation. The Board OF Trade
is supposed TO lead in such matters q Q
this. Let it be heard from as soon as pos
sible.
