RIVERS And HARBORS.

OF the 100 Democrats in the House, 90 voted
TO pass without debate or amendment the River
and Harbor bill appropriating over $4,000
600. Only 90 voted against it and 8 were abb
cent. OF the 152 Republicans in the House,
60 voted for the bill, voted against it and AZ
were absent The other affirmative vote was
cast by a Labor member, Mr.. Hopkins. Of Vir-
ginia.
II is only six years since bill appropriating
about SO 900, 900 less than this was passed IN
n Republican House, and was denounced by the
entire Democratic party as most infamous
swindle. The feeling of the people about IL
was shown in the defeat Of surprisingly large
proportion of the members who had supported
the measure and in the election OF Democratic
House. The same party which then shouted
"Turn the rascals out' now casts 90 votes 1or
and only 0 against bill in every respect worse
and more dishonest, bill appropriating moro
money, a bill so disgracefully sectional that II
there were no other reason it ought to be de-
feated on that account alone. 1t is hard TO see
how the insincerty Of the DemocIatic party
could be more convincIngly shown.
The go Republicans who voted for this meas
ire will answer to their own constituents. 1helr
plea will be that the bill contained greatly
needed appropriations for public works of local
importance so that they did not feel at liberty
TO defeat it because of the multitude OF SWIM
dies it also contained That IS exactly the OK
cuse which was made by the Democrats Tor
those Democratic members who supported the
bill of six years ago; the Republican party con-
trolled the committee, they said, and was re-
sponsble for putting all sorts of rascallties into
the bill, and they were obliged to vote for it or
TO defeat appropriations which they considered
meritorous. Now the Democrats have the COM
mittee. and have crammed the bill full of thefts,
and the Republican members who vote for 1t
will saw with truth that they could not make the
measure an honest or decent one, and were COM
nelled TO defeat it as whole or to vote for 1t.
The excuse did not seem to Republican voters
entirely satisfactory when Democratic mem
hers urged it, but perhaps its merits will now
be more apparent
The objection to this bill is not that 1t appro-
pirates large sum of public money to useful
public works The appropriations of that sort are
not as large as they ought to be- The objection is
that the bill contains hundreds Of swindles for
political purposes only; appropriations Tor
creeks and shadows where no commerce exists
On that ground alone the measure is condemned,
and the party responsible for it will be called to
answer.

further as we'll as long series IN dehuhc'a

cbomnioning the Irish cause with great ability
and collecting enormous sums Of money for
legitimate political agitation made serious
,,,istoke in 1888. and merited the criticism
which he received. That he fully appreciates
his error of Judgment is shown by the scfupu-
lous pains now taken by The Irish Worid' 10

patience and moderation in the American coul-
ellis of the National League. With Mr. fords
record as an agtator we are not cohcefheu'
When he has deserved censure in these col

nth tho ideas recently expressed in an inter-
view ON the political situation that we nave
been dealing, and with nothing else lie as
serts that it is an evil thing to have the Irish
vote cast solidly for the Democratic party as II
was before 1884, and that it will be great gam
for the country il that vote can be divided IN
1885 between the parties. This is true. Mr..
Ford il q coed American when he denounces
" so,id voting, of races, nationaities and creeds
and urges men of Irish birth to come out OF the
Democratic party where they have been for
wears and support Republican candidate who
represents American principles and sympathies'
OF course, it suits the purposes of our neigh
bor TO intimate that we accept the dynamite
propaganda as essentially American" IN idea,
and that prominence is given to Mr., Ford as
"the author Of flendish rawlings" The cam
pagn is approaching and the wheels OF reform
journalism are already trundling in the ruts OF
partisan mendacity.N The facts of plain mat
ter cannot, however, be clouded by mlsrepre-
sentation The Irish vote ought not to be cast
in one mass for President Cleveland as 1t has
been for other Democratic candidates for the
Presidency. 1t should be divided between the
PARTIES and in that event we are confident that
Irish intelligence will be found in 1888 as IN
1884 on the side of the Republican party ana
protection, and Irish ignorance and crime on 'he
side of Cleveland and English free-trade

THAT" POPULAR UPRISING' FOR GRACE.
WAS there a great popular uprising" for
William r. Grace in 1884? Why cer'nly
there was. Who says no? If any, speak, for
him has Samuel Palmer, of Long Island, Of
Tended. The affidavit which Samuel has pre-
na,ed and which was published in THE TRIB-
r-xe ~ Tuesday is conclusive on that point.
Seen by the white light beating upon 1t from
the affidavit. the popular uprising" for Grace
wildly recalls John b. Coughs story of the
popular uprising for William Sampson
William resided in a Western town that was
sororal siyes smaller than his consuming ambi-
tion for notoriety. One evening great meet
ing was held which was attended by nearly
everybody in the town that was anybody Half
a dozen distinguished speakers from distance
were listened to to the delight OF the multitude.
But as each one finished and took his seat, and
before the next one could be introduced, tall
man IN the rear Of the hall sprang to his feet and
vigorously called for Sampson Sampson |,
William SAMPSON Up At length. toward the
end Of the evening, the chairman arose and re-
marked. "Air. Brown, whom we all hoped to
hear from. is unavoidably absent. But iudg-
ing from the repeated calls for Mr.. Sampson,
conclude that there is a popular uprising in his
behalf I therefore have the pleasure Of in
viting Mr. Sampson to address you" samp-
son. after being urged little, came modestly
forward and made his bow, but was unable to
proceed owing to the frantic cries Of the tall
man near the door for Sampson Sampson

That the Rev. DR.. Hastings has reconsidered
his decision regarding the presidency of the

heart of every friend and well-wisher Of that
institution. When elected in February he felt

easier for him. and the announcement of his
acceptance was joyful feature Of the ami
versary exercises last night.
Mr. Voorhees, made what he called an apology
in the Senate yesterday. He expressed regret
at having used improper language on the floor
of that body, but he did it in a half-hearted
way and with the air Of q schoolboy who has
been caught disobeying his teacher. The
apology clearly due from Mr.. Voorhees, was not
forthcoming. He was guilty Of applying to

In the Assembly yesterday the death blow
was given TO the Brundage Tax bill, which had
nothing to commend it and the opposition to
which was so strong that no small degree of
hardihood would have been required to pass it
in the face of clearly expressed public opinion
The bill was mistake in conception and its en-
actment would have meant an outrageous inva-
sion of private rights. Happily this danger is
past.
The State Senate has acted wisely in defeat
ing the bill authorizing the leasing of fve-acre
plots Of State lands in the Adirondack forest
II is matter Of supreme interest to the people
at large that the forests should be preserved
from cncrOachments Of all kinds. In the hands
Of wise commissioners this bill might not have
proved a source Of serious danger but it gave
large powers to these officials and opened the
way for grave abuses It's defeat is q cause
for congratulation.

delegates to the National Convention were held

strnc,ions were given, and so far as is known
the delegates have no deeply rooted preference

Northern Copperheads the Chief-Justlceship. PHI

people and vehicles on Eleventh street south
