THE river and harbor bill has passed
the house and now goes to the senate.
Bills of this character, are required
under our constitution to originate in
the house, the idea of the trainers of
the constitution being, that the money
of the people should be voted away by
those whom they elect directly, to-wit;
the representatives from the various
districts. The theory is that senators
represent states in their sovereign ca
pacity. Of course the senators soon
found u way out of that corner. II
they cannot originate revenue bills,
they can amend them, and keep on
amending them, until like JosEPH's
coat, they are of 40 many colors that it
is impossible to detect the shade OF the
original garment. This river and
harbor bill will undoubtedly be
amended in the senate, so that each
senator, as each representative has
done. will il possible "get in his
work" for his section. That means,
for himself. We are told, in vague,
oif-hand way, by Mr.. BLANCHARD,
the gentleman who had charge OF the
bill on the floor of the house, "that
the aggregate appropriations OF the
bill were only twenty-five thousand
dollars more than they were when
the bill was last considered in the
committee Of the whole" Probably,
when the bill passes both houses in
the last hours of the session, and is
stuck under the nose of the president
for approval, the country will find out
it's provisions. Mr.. CLEvE3A
vetoed the last measure of this kind,
and but for the feeling that he was
acuated by sense of duty, that veto
would have raised against him such a
storm of indignation, as would have
rendered his denomination an .impos-
sibility. The republican party GER
tainly, and we believe the country, is
in favor of liberal appropriations for
rivers and harbors if they are of
character to warrant any appropria-
tion at all. When, however, bill APP
propriating over fifteen millions of
dollars and containing hundreds of
different items, is passed by congress,
the president has the right to have
time to examine it. The true way out
OF the difficulty is to pass law allow
ing the president to veto u part of
bill and approve the rest. Congress
seems to be in no hnmor to pass such
law and the reason is apparent.

that was instituted, he was dangerous

work. He confessed, however, that
although the plan had benefited
thousands, and pacitied the country,
he would then have advised against ii,
because it contained features inimical
to a national solution of the questio
and would serve as pretext for the
torys to infiict further coercion. When
in 1887 he was able to speak it was
too late. The government had already
struck at DILLON and O'BRIEN and he
thought it better to let matters rest,
but he stipulated that neither the
league nor the Parnelltes should be
identified with this plan and that the
sphere of the plan should be restricted

years, serving as high baliff in Essex
county for two years during this time.

tile business with Jonathan Baker un-

THE RAILROAD SHOPS.
The Correspondence I'm Relation to their
Removal.

Reference was made last week to the
correspondence in relation to the re-
moval of the railroad shops from Lyn-
donville to st. Johnsbury. Superin-
the committee chosen at the citizens
meeting here requesting conference
on the matter, contains some state
ments that have direct bearing on the
question, and may help to more in
telligent understanding of the situation
by the citizens of st. Johnsbury. Mr..
Mellen states that the question of re-
moval has been mentioned to him sew
eral times by citizens of st. Johnsbury
and that his reply has invariably been
that it would be time to seriously con-
slider. the matter VIXEN some definite
proposition was received from St.
Johnsbury. While convinced that the
location of the shops here would be
more convenient and in every respect
desirable, Mr.. Mellen questions wheth
er the company can afford to abandon
it's plant at Lyndonville, or in other
words he does not see how the people
of ST. Johnsbury can afford to raise a
sum sufficient to make up the loss con-
sequent upon such removal. When
the appraisal was made at the time of
the lease of the Passumpsic the build
ings at Lyndonville were valued at
$l5S, ,503, this, presumably, includ-
ing not only the railroad shops but all
the tenement houses, etc, that belong
to the company. The road manage
ment figures that they will be out of
pocket that amount less whatever st.
Johnsbury may contribute toward
making them whole. Of course the
$25, 900 that has been talked of would
not make any heavy inroads on the de-
| ficit. How much is ST. Johnsbury
ready to do to bring about the desired
results That seems to be the question
before the house.
While it is we'll enough to know the
facts in the case, and to have the mat
ter under consideration, it is well
enough for the people here to keep
cool until after the conference between
the committee and Mr.. Mellen which
has not yet taken place.
