The st. DO. Gazette is about the
only honest, outspokeu liquor organ in
the country. II doesn't waste any ink ar
guing the question OF liberty and the con-
stitutionality Of prohibition, but comes
out squarely in defense Of rum. IL says:
"All the warrior races of the earth have
been drinkers OF alcohol. All the
conquerIng races of the earth have
been drinkers OF alcohol. The stronger
the alcohol the more heroic they were
the more memorable were the things that
they did; the more prodigious were the
labors that they performed. Without rum
1t is doubtful If Washington would have
won in the Revolutionary war. Next to
good discipline, said Napoleon Bonaparte,
good ration Of brandy is II fine thing for
a SOLDIER

The Tribune, speaking as the Republican
organ, finds fault with the Democrats in Con-
gress that at this session they have not re-
formed all the abuses which have got fastened,
like barnacles, on the government during the
long Republican mlsrule. Well. the Demo-
Gratis have done something. Not so much "a
they ought, that we grant; not SO much as
they would have done mad not the Republl-
cans in House and Senate SO vigorously oo-
posed every reform. But considering That
the need for Democratic reform comes from
the persistent piling up of abuses by the Re
publicans, ought not the Tribune TO be little
more modest?

The President has notified Congress
that he shall not 20 to tue capitol on the

The River and Harbor Bill

The conference committee to which
was referred the river and harbOr bill has
reached an agreement. and its report will
no doubt be approved by both houses.
The House cOnferees conceded more than
the Senate cOnferees, and there is doubt
less some dissatisfaction in the House
with the result Of the conference, but this
dissatisfaction will hardly be sufficient
to prevent the adoption of the report of
the committee. To refuse to adopt it
would, In all probability, defeat
the bill altogether, as there is hardly time
for further conference. The House doubt
less would rather have the bill as it is
than no bill at all.
AS agreed upon, the bill appropriates a
little more than $14,600,000. AS this
amount covers two years it will not ap-
pear to the country to be so very large.
There is no reason to fear that the Presi-
dent will veto the bill. There have been
extraordinary efforts to keep it within
reasonable limits, and he is doubtless
aware that he could hardly do anything
that would be more unpopular in the
South and West than to veto it.
The bill gives Savannah harbor $3.50, 900.
This Is hardly half of what is needed to
complete the improvement for which the
existing survey provides, but it Will be
enough to carry on the work until another
appropriation can be obtained. The small.
ness of the appropriation, however, delays
the completion OF the work. The full
amount asked for could have been advan-
tageously used within wear

The epidemic OF typhoid fever that is
now raging among the GLASGOW iron
workers in Montgomery county, Pa,
shows how important it is that the great
est care should be observed in sanitary
matters. Fifty stalwart iron workers
and several OF their wives and little ones
are now down with the disease. IL was
only on Wednesday night OF last week
that the flames shot out OF the tall towers
of the works, and the little valley n which
the plant stands resOunded with the indus
trious music Of scores OF workmen. On
Tuesday night of this week the fires were
banked and many of the sturdy fellows
who made the hum Of week ago were
enieehled and wrecked by sickness. 1t
is generally agreed by the doctors OF tho
neighborhood and others who have made
an investigation that the germs of the
fever have been lurking IN the spring in
the yard at the works from which tho mill
men and many OF the women and children
living in the vicinity drew their supply
OF water.
