A Separate Bill for the Mississippi
improvements.

The one-third rule does not appear to
have been applied to the Mississippi river
estimates by the River and Harbor Com
mittee. The appropriation for that river
is NOT quite as much as was aske tot, but
it is certainly as large as could reason
ably have been expected, The amount is
So. 500. 600
The improvement Of the Mississippi
river having been determined upon, the
appropriations ought to re sufficiently
large to permit the work to be prosecuted
economically and successfully. II has
been decided that the river can be i'm
proved, but no engineer willundertake to
say what the Improvement OF it Will cost.
The best opinion appears to be that $780,
100000 is much too small an estimate.
Wnether it will require that amount or
double it, any one can see that as long as
appropriations for the Mississippi are
made in the river and harbor bill
public improvements Of less magnitude,
but Of no less Importance to those
interested in them, are going to be treated
with scant consideration. So large an
extent Of country is interested in that
river, and the influence in its behalf is so
great that it will be able always to get
about he appropriation 1t demands. while
the lear OF making the river and harbor
bin too LARGE will cause improvements
tor other river and harbor appropria ions
to be very small in mparison to their
needs.
Already the amount Of the river and
harbor bill is being criticised quite Sc
verey. Take from it the Mississippi,
NJ ssour and Ohio rivers apprOpria-
tions, however, and It's amount would
hardly attract attention; and vet 1t is be-
cause of the $5,OOO.0OO appropriation for
these rivers that savannah harbOr gets
only a patry $l25, 900, aud that. too when
the estimate was for completing the i'm
proyement.
The Mississippi river and all other
great public improvements which
are under the jurisdiction of a
commission ought TO be dealt
with Ia a bill separate from the river and
harbor bill. AS the Mississippi valley
grows in Influence the annual demands of
the Mississippi river Will increase until
other public Improvements will have to
take what the Mississippi valley interest
is willing to give them If all river and
harbor improvements continue to be ap-
nropriated for in one bill. Now is the
time to agltate divorce OF the improve
ments which are directed by a commits
sion from those which are wholly under
the direction Of army officers. The time
Is not distant when 1t will be too late TO
agitate it with any hope of success.

The President Increasing in Flesh.
The statement that the President has
gained y pounds since he became Presi-
dent and that he is steadily gaining flesh,
is calculated to start the inquiry whether
he is not fit subject for an attack OF
apOpleXy. He was a fat man when
he entered the White House, and
II he keeps on increasing in
flesh he will not have much shape by the
time his term expires. He has q short,
thick neck and little exertion makes his
breathing very laDored. He certainly
looks like a man who is in danger OF an
apoplectic attack. 1t has been suggested
TO him several times that he ought to
work less and take more eX-
ercise, but such suggestions have
not been acted upon. In fact, the Presi-
dent has enjoyed such good health that he
has always laughed at those who have
urged him to take better care Of himself.
The sudden illness OF Secretary Manning,
however, has made him serious, and he
now begins to think that it would be adj
visable for HIM to take more exercise,
and TO give fewer hours to work.
When be was Governor OF New York
be walked a great deal, and in that way
kept down his flesh. Since he has been
in Washington, however, he has walked
very little. He takes a ride once in
awhile, but that sort OF exercise is not the
kind that man who accommodating fat at
the rate of 81 pounds per month ought to
have.
1t is probable that Secretary Manning
would now be a comparatively well man
II he mad taken more exercise and burden
ed hims If less with the details of his de-
partment. He spent about ten hours day
a his office in the Treasury, and the Pres
Ident spends even more time at his desk.
Apoplexy is the dreaded enemy of short
necked fat men, AMI it attacks its victims
when least expected.

WORRYING Gen. LOGAN.

Senator Logan doesn't appear to make
much Roadway with his army bill. the
chief feature of which is TO increase the
number of men from %, 900 to 10000. The
greatest opposition to it comes from Re-
publican Senator'S. Those of them who
have taken part IN the debate have at
tempted to give it such a turn as to
injure Gen. Logan's popularity. They
have insinuated that he is the champion
OF additional turbelows, frills, aud shout
der-straps; that he wants to introduce
into this country the military methods Of
Germany; and. what is calculated to do
him more damage than any other of their
insinuatons, that he aims to hold labor
In check with the bayonet.
Such insnuations are calculated to
make Gen, Logan very unhappy. His
life purpose is to be President, and all
that he does is in support of that purpose.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore, that
the attacks Of his Republican associates
caused him to lose his temper and to sug-
gest that one OF them, at least, was a
demagogue.
Gen. Logan is a pretty level-headed sort
of man, ana his reasons for desiring the
army incre ased to 80. 600 men are, in the
main, good ones, but would it not be a
wiser plan to spend more money In in
creasing the efficiency of the militia than
in increasing the army!

The reports of the trial OF Butler Ma
hone at Washington, charged with shoot
ing at a hotel waiter. indicate that the
young man escaped being convicted of a
felony through the charge of Judge Nc
Arthur, which led the jury to believe
that if the accused was considered so
drunk he could not form an intent to Kill,
that he could be found guilty OF a simple
assault. When he paid the 800 fine, the
Judge read him a severe lecture. 1t
would seem that if young Malone was
too drunk TO form an intent TO kill, that
he was not competent to form an intent
to commit an assault. II drunkenness
can excuse felony, it ought certainly to
excuse a misdemeanor. Were this case
TO be made a precedent, and applied to
common drunken criminals as well as
the son Of senator, there would he very
little protection gwen human life by the
law. II is a question whether Judge
Macarthur will be able to point with pride
to this case when he makes final review
OF his judicial record. II his view Of the
law applicable TO the case is correct, it
looks as N the prisoner should have been
acquitted, or granted new trial in case
Of conviction, instead OF being fined and
scoded.

a Generons Congressman.

A few Of Hon. j. Pulltzer's newspaper
rivals are making great noise about his
absence from his place IN the House.
They appear to be particularly worried
because he has given his salary as Repre-
sentative for one year, amounting to
$1,000, to a charitable object. They do
not ind fault with him for advertising
himself and his paper, the World, under
the guise OF charity, but they complain
that he is liberal at the expense of the
people-that is, be has given away ,ohdt
he never earned, and, therefore, has no
right to.
II is true the proprietor of the World
seldom permits his attractive face to be
seen in the House. 1t is stated that his
presence at his post of duty is recorded
but six times since the beginning of the
session, but VINO is there who can say
that public business would have been
advanced, or that any benefit would
have accrued TO the country if Mr..
Pulitzer had been in his seat every
day that the House has been in
session? He knows better than his critics
whether or not he is fitted to discharge
legislative duties, and he has doubtless
discovered that the House can get along
as well without as with him. Indeed. it
is possible that he has found out that the
House doesn't regard his absence with
anxiety, or even with regret. II this Is
the state Of affairs how cruel it is for the
New York papers to continue to call at
tention 20 the tacs that he Is seldom in the
House.
The truth is that Mr.. Pulitzer is show
ing great good sense. He can render no
particular service in the House, and so
he doesn't 90 there often, and he has
given away his salary in way to adyer-
{ Sc himself and his paper because he
doesn't think he has earned it. What "A
delicate sense Of The fitness OF things is
here exhibited! Is it to be wondered al
that the tone of the World is 80 high?

Jacksonvillc's Municipal Contest

JaCkSOnVillc's MuniCtpal Contest.
The municipal election in Jacksonville,
Fla, is TO be again conducted GA party
lines. The Democrats have selected Pat
rick McQuaid for Mayor and the Re-
publicans will probably put up Peter
Jones, the United States Inspector OF
Hulls for this district, who mas had his
headquarters in Savannah for a number
Of years. Mr.. Jones was Mayor OF Jack
sonville for several terms and IL is said
he carries the Republican and negro vote

Mr. Jones has been sent for, aud is now

paign. IL will be quite a step backwards
tor that city 10 return to the political con-
dtion il was in a few years ago when the
worst OF the white element, together with
the negro roustabouts, ran the town.
Jacksonville is a prosperous and pro-
gressiye city with a growing trade. and
with It's government in the hands Of the
intelligent portion OF its citizens the city
will continue to be prosperous. The Re-
publican party at the NORTH may have
virtues, but we are pretty sure that Il
hasn't any at the South. A Republican
victory Ia southern city or State means
the checking Of prosperity and the ar
resting OF progress there. Business men
and property owners OF Jacksonville.
whatever their past political affiliations
may have been, should seek TO keep the

ment there. While it NAV not always

A Bill in the interest OF Justice.

Representative Perry Belmont, in &C
cOrdance with the suggestion of the
President. has introduced into the House
bill providing an appropriation to make
good the losses sustained by Cinnamon on
the Pacific coast at the hands of mobs,
The bill ought TO be passed without hest
tatiOn. 1t may be that there is nothing In
international law, or our treaties with
China which renders this government
liable for the losses which it is proposed
to pay, but 1t cannot be denied that the
Cinnamon were not given the protection
to which they are entitled under our
laws. and which they were, in effect,
promised when they made their homes in
this country:
There is another thing which ought not
to be overlooked. 1t is that there are
many thousands Of Americans in China,
and that many Of them own property
there. There may be outbreaks in China
against American residents, and the life
and property of American citizens may
be destroyed. II we refuse to do justice
to Cinnamon who suffered from outrages
on the Pacific coast the time may come
when American citizens in China may
appeal in vain to the government of that
country for justice. ltpays in the long
run to do what Is right.
