TIE BRIDGE SITUATION.

The Senate Commerce Committee yester-
day postponed consideration Of the Mem
phis Bridge Bill until Friday, owing to the
absence of interested parties. Senator
Harris stated in an interview printed yes
terday, that he would not press his bill,
but would leave the com.
mittee FREQ to choose between the
Phelan bill and the old Ford charter.
TnE APPEALS dispatch from Washington
states that Gen. Field, Prcsiden. Of the
Union Bridge Company, would appear be-
fore the committee in behalf OF the Van
Benthuyscn party. The people can, there
fore, contemplate the situation with great
deal OF satisfaction, for the reason that q
point has been reached where the holders
of the old charter feel compelled TO
make demonstration OF earncstness and
good intention. II is to be hoped the
representatives OF the interests OF Mem
phis will mako II very clear 20 the com
mittee that promises butter no parsnips
and that the most substantial evidence OF
determination to Immediately build the
bridge must be submitted by the
Van Benthuysen party. The committee
should he made 10 understand that the
Phelan bill would probably never haye
been proposed II that party had ever put
n spade into the earth. II Is itself re-
sponsible for the presentation OF the
Phclan bill. At no time has date been
fixed for beginning the work, nor has
dollar Of money ever been shown.
Other people have rights as we'll as the
Van Benthuysen party, and the people
claim the right Of submitting no longer TO
idle promises and TO the raising Of false
hopes. The citizens Of Memphis should
continue their vigilance until the commit
tee shall make its report Tho battle Is
not yet won. The Van Bonthuysen party
must be brought TO showdown or q
back-out. The work ON tho bridge should
he begun this spring. The commercial
progress Of Memphis demands II.
