Reasons for Larger Appropriation
| Some of the Congressman from this State
may wonder why the MORNING NEWS in
| slsts upon a more liberal appropriation for
the Savannah harbor than that which the
pending river and harbor bill provides If
they will read the statement Of the condi-
ton of the harbor published in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday they will cease to wonder.
They will discover that owing to the sus-
pension of work on the harbor improve
mentS and the unfinished condition of that
Improvement, shoals are forming IN
the harbor Several vessels have been
aground lately, and so serious an OBJ
struct!on to commerce are these shoals be
coming that the Ocean Steamship Company
may be forced to do some dredging at its
own expense.
1t seems remarkable in view of the i'm
portance of this port, and the extent of its
commerce, that the River and Harbor Com
mittee should not appreciate the necessity
for keeping its harbor in a navigable con-
dition. 1t is unfair and unjust to this port
to appropriate only $1,000 for its harbor,
when hundreds of thousands Of dollars are
appropriated for harbors OF much less i'm
pol tant ports.
When an attempt was made last Monday
to pass the river and harbor bill under a
suspension of the rules. Congressman Cox,
Of New York, objected, for the reason that
the bill made an insufficient appropriation
for the hsrbor of New York He pointed
out the Importance of that harbor, and de-
clared that it had not received its proper
proportion Of the SIS, 600 900 which the bill
carries. The bill appropriates about $780,,
900 for New York harbor. and if that is not
a fair proportion for that harbor of the
the amount carried by the bill. can it be
said that the $4,000 which Savannah har-
Dor gets is its fair proportion of the whole
appropriation
1t is reported that the chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee says that the
committee appreciates the importance Of
Savannah harbor. If it does it has failed
to show its appreciation. Its appreciation
is certainly not of kind to do this port
any good. Expressions of appreciation
may be very gratifying, but they accomplish
no object. What is wanted is an appro-
priation large enough to enable the engi-
neer in charge of our harbor improvement
to go steadily forward with the work of
making a channel to the sea deep enough to
accommodate all the vessels which are
likely to seek this port for cargoeS If all
the Congressman from this State unite in
demanding such an appropriation there is
some probability that it will be obtained

me Louisiana Election.

The election in Louisiana has attracted
very general attention, chiefly for the reason
that the Republicans there before the cleo
ton asserted that if they were given a free
ballot and a fair count they would carry
the State. They knew, of course, that
there was no ground for such an assertion.
They made it doubtless with two
objects in view. First, to induce
their Northern friends to send them
money for campaign purposes, and,
second, to put themselves in a
position to say that they would have car
ried the State if it had not been for fraud
and bulldozing on the part of tho Demo-
Gratis. They got no money from Northern
friends, because in the North it was not be-
lieved that they had any chance to carry
the State. In the approaching Presidential
campaign, however, it will be asserted,
doubtless, that the reason the Republicans
were defeated was that the colored voters
were intimidated and driven away from
the polls. Assertions of this sort may have
some effect in Republican strongholds but
they will not have much influence with In
dependent voters, who have heard them so
confidence in them. \
The truth is, there are a few noisy, white
Republicans in New Orleans, and some
much more noisy black ones in the country
parishes who continue to pretend that Lou
isiana is Republican because there are more
black than white voters in the State They
assume that all the black voters are Repub-
licans, and that they will all vote if not
prevented. These black and white Repnb-
lican politicians know very well that it re-
quires the most thorough organization in
all the parishes to get the black voters TO
the polls, and that when they are there
very considerable percentage of them votes
the Democratic ticket AS a matter of fact
the Republicans have no organized party in
Louisiana. They may have an organiza-
ton in a lew parishes, and in these parishes
the returns will doubtless show that their
ticket received fair support. But in the
great majority of the parishes they had no
organization whatever, and in them they
poled comparatively few votes Bulldozing
and intimidation had nothing to do with
the result of the election. The Republicans
were beaten fairly, and that will be the YER
dict of the country. They might as well,
therefore, cease making their ridiculous
charges ard admit the truth.

A Wild Rose.

The first wild rose in wayside hedge
This year / wandering see,
Ipluck, and send it as pledge,
MY own Wild Rose to thee.
For when my gaze first felt thy gaze,
We were knee-deep in June;
The nights were only DREAMER days,
And all the hours In tune
found thee like the eglantine,
Sweet, simple, and apart,
And from that hour thy smile hath been
The flower that scents my heart
And ever now when June doth grace
Fresh copse or weathered bole
With roses, straight ! see thy face,
And gaze into thy soul
A natural bud of love thou art,
Where, bending down, / view,
Deep hidden in thy fragrant heart,
drop of heavenly dew.
Go, wild Rose, to my Wild Rose dear,
Bid her come swift and soon.
o, would that She were always here
1t then were always June

Mr.. Ewing Watterson, son of editor
Henry Watterson, of Louisville, has gotten
himself in trouble. When young Watterson
went TO Washington some time ago he
secured rooms at a private house Shortly af-
terward Mrs. Irene Unkel, handsome young
widow from Richmond, took rooms in the
same house. The two at once proceeded to
fall in love with each other. The other day
Watterson asked Mrs Unkel to go with him
to an entertainment, and she declined on
the score of previous engagement. Upon
her refusal to break the engagement, Wat
tersou, who was drinking, opened his knife
and plunged the blade into her side. He
would doubtless have repeated the act had
not Mrs. Unkels screams brought several
inmates Of the house to the scene. The
young man was locked up. Mrs Unkel's
wound is not serious She attempts TO de-
fend Watterson. and if she marres him the
probability is that she will have to devote
most of her time to defending him.

Mr. John F. Collin, of Hillsdale, N V,
enjoys the distinction of being the oldest
living Congressman. He is Sc years old,
and was a member of the Twenty-ffth
Congress, 1856. Gen. Banks, of Massa-
chusetts, is another one of the old ex-Con-
gressmen, and now that he has been al
lowed to lay aside the duties of the Mar
shalship, his friends are talking of sending
him back to Washington. The General is
not averse to being sent back In fact,
there are few things that would please him
better. He has 'placed himself in the
hands of his friends" which means that
if there is any chance for him to get the
nomination, he won't let it Slide

a House committee has favorably re-
ported bill providing that no person who
shall hereafter be candidate for nomina-
ton or for election to the Senate or House
shall pay or contribute, directly or in
directly, any money or articles Of value for
campaign purposes. The penalty proposed
is a fine not exceeding $1,000, or imprison-
ment for not more than two years. This is
another one of the bills recently introduced
that will never pass. The men who are to
vote on tiff it ever comes to a vote-are
those who contribute funds for campaign
purposes.

From the Neto York EUeni1tg Post Qnd)

Mr. Cleveland would not dare TO veto any of
their pension schemes this year, in view OF his
probable candidacy for reelection. The three
setoes OF private pension bills sent IN me other

lected to executive scrutiny is as necessary as it

Senator Sherman appears to be greatly
concerned about the colored voters of the
South. Perhaps he is more concerned
about them now than he will be few
months hence, but his interest is hardly
sufficient to cause him to approve the sug-
gestion made by some co ored people in
Washington the other day, that the Repub-
licau ticket be composed of Sherman and
a negro politician from Virginia. In Sher-
mans opinion the negro is here for two
purposes, viz: TO send Sherman delegates
to National Conventions and to vote the
Republican ticket

The South Carolina Project.

The people of Barnwell and Hampton
counties, South Carolina, are showing a
commendable amount of energy in their
efforts for railroad communication with
Savannah, and if they fail in getting what
they want it will not be because of indiffer-
ence on their part. There are two routes
projected, and they have no connection
with each other. 1t would seem as if only
bad management could defeat the building
of a road on one or the other of Them
Some very liberal subscriptions have been
promised, and there is no reason to doubt
that the promise of others could easily be
obtained if they were sought in the right
way. 1t requires a good deal of money,
however, to build a railroad, even though
the road be a short one.
1t is hardly probable that the people of
Barnwell and Hampton, although they are
quite prosperous, can raise among them
selves sum sufficient to build road to
this city, and, therefore, to insure the build
ing of it Savannah will have to give them
some assistance There is not merchant
in Savannah who would not be benefited
by such road, and that is q strong reason
why 1t should receive substantial assistance
here. The question whether the projected
road would pay has been carefully can
vassed, and the conclusion reached that if
economically built it would return good
interest on the money invested in 1T. Would
it not be good move on the part of the
business men of this city to look into this
South Carolina enterprise with a view of
determining whether it is not entitled to
their assistance from a business point OF

outstanding this outburst on the part of

Mr.. Cleveland carried Louisiana in 1886

N wages that We reproduce it. Mr. Me-
iay says:
II have visited the London docks and
thousands of idle men there. At roll call

up on the massive gates SO they may be seen
