Congress has recently appropriated
$2O,000,OOO to improve" rivers and
harbors. Such extravagant and IN
necessary Legislation is little less than
criminal There is no necessity for
the appropriation of dollar for such
a purpose. If the Government would
expend half that amount
In breaking up the prairie
and planting out forest trees and
adopting some wise methods for irri-
eating Colorado, Arizona and West
em Kansas great good would result
to the people. The river and harbor
scheme" for voting vast sums Of
money out of the treasury into the
pockets Of a few men is only a scape
goat and a humbug.

No Tariff Tinkerinp

I. V. POwderly, general master
workman of the Knights of Labor, de-
clares himself on tariff tinkering and
free trade. He says: 81 am high
tariff man and protectionist, and for
the reason that I am an American and
a friend to American labor. Nowork-
ing man has ever called for a reduc-
ton, and no reduction should be made
until it is demanded by the people. We
need no tariff tinkering. We want pro-
lection from one end Of the country to
the other; touch not the tariff, raise
the duties SO high that not a single
article Of foreign manufacture can
come in.'

Jr. Mrs. Loughlin VA also charged With
assaulting John O'Neil. and she was repre-
senied by Mr.. Samuel NJ. Page. There were
a large number Of witnesses on each side,
and the testimony was voiuninous and on
some points quite contradictory. The
trouble occurred on Seventeenth street on
THURSDAY. and was the outgrowth OF fight
between John O'NeIl and Mrs. Louehlin's
son, who II much smaller than the ONeil
boy. Young Lougllin bitONeIl and O'Neil
struck l. Oushlin on the head. Mrs. Lougblin
went out and slapped John ONeil and

Wen, you'll give feler chance to work
aud make the money to pay you, won't
you?" Justice Crutchfield smiled ard told

Chris,,sa Work Among xeamen.

Rev. A. ]. Withersp0oD, ID. D., OF New
Orleans. who is widely known as the sea-
meu's friend, is IN the city, and will to-mor-
row morning preach at DR.. Kerr's church.
and at night (s:15 o'cIeck) at DR.. Hoge's
church will hold meeting in the interest of
the cause TO which be has devoted so many
years OF his life, and viii have the assistance
OF several other eloquent speakers.
Some idea Of the importance OF this bethel
work in New Orleans may be gathered from
the fact that from January |. 1887, TO Janu-
ary 1, 1858, according TO data In the custom
house, the total sail and steam vessels from
all ports 10 New Orleans was 1.ll9; total
tonnage, 1,2i2,002; total sailors, 27,S73.
The little chapel Is situated on Fulton near
Jackson street. New Orleans, and the home
which adjOins the Bethel has sheltered many
a poor sailor. In 1878 the Bethel church
was opened. The concert.hall and reading
room and the seaman's home were snhse-
Quently added, with its handsome parlors,
Kitchen, dining-hall, and eleven dormito-
ries- seventeen rooms in all. DR.. Wlther-
spoon is entitled to and should receive every
consideration from the phianthropic and
Christian men and women of the country
who have at heart the spiritual and personal
welfare OF the sailor.
