RIVER AND HAkBOR BILL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senator
Dolph introduced in the senate an
amendment to the river and harbol
bill for the appropriation of 81, ,000,0 ,00C
for the commencement Of boat rail-
way at the dalles and Cello falls in
the Columbia river, the improvement
of Three and Ten-Mile rapids, and
the widening of the channel, in &C.
cordance with plans and recommen-
dations which will be submitted by a
board Of engineers appointed by the
secretary Of war, under the provisions
of the act OF August IL, 1888.
Dolph gave notice that he would
call the bill up in the senate as soon
as he could do 80 without interfering
with the consideration of the tariff
bill for the purpose of submitting
some remarks upon it. He said il
was introduced in anticipation OF the
final report of the board, which prob
ably will not be received until some
time in February; that he hoped il
would be received in time to be con
sidered by the senate committee on
commerce, in connection with the
river and harbor bill.
The house bill contains no appro
prIation for any new improvement,
but the Oregon senators hope that,
owing to the importance of the i'm
provement OF The Dalles rapids, and
that it has been made subject OF re.
port by a special board, the senate
may be induced to make this impor-
tant exception and put the sppropria-
ton in the river and harbOr bill for
the commencement Of work. 1t is
understood that the report Of the
board will be in favor of the improve
ment, and it is engaged in the con-
sideration Of various plans proposed
for the same.
Senator Dolph said last evening
that he thought there was nothing in
the report that the senate would not
consider the river and harbor bill.
The commerce committee was making
preparations to take up its consider
alton as soon as it came from the
house, and he thought il the bill
passed the house within any reason
able time, it would be passed by the
senate and signed by the president.
He thought that as usual in the
house Oregon improvements had not
been given their proper proportion,
but the Oregon appropriations would
undoubtedly increase in the senate.

Work at the Cascade locks is re-
ported to be progressing rapidly.
From 1000 to 1400 cubic yards OF
earth is being removed daily. Six
donkey engines are running, lifting
from 13O to lao buckets each, contain
ing from yard to a yard and quar-
ter OF earth to the bucket. At the
present rate of working, the excava-
tion will be completed up to the up
per walls by the middle of February.
As there is much dressed stone on
hand a splendid showing will be made
by next fall, providing that the pres
ent appropriation of Sl5O,00O is made
available.

ADVERSE CRITICISM.
PARIS, Jan. 4.-Most of the Repub-

tissue of columny and brag, and say
it is not worthy of discussion. GGu-
lois saws: "As Boulager's pro-
gramme is to ask the country to
make its voice heard, conservatives
intend to vote for him. A congress
of Republican senators, deputies and
editors opposed to Boulanger will
meet OF Sunday to select candidate
against him.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

The secret ballot is growing in favor in
every part of the country and there is rea-
son to hope il will become law in a major
ity OF the States before the next Presiden-
tial election comes round. It's success in
Louisville, and the fact that il has stood
the test OF ths Supreme Court OF Ken
lucky as n constitutional measure, will
give it great impetus at the South, and
will doubtless help TO secure the passage
Of the modified bill now before the Lcgis-
lature Of Alabama, in which event the
Southern statesare likely TO take ii up and
adopt IL rs radical and educational meas
ure that will go far TO settle all the
vexing questions that arise out Of the ex-
isting electoral systems. As The Louisville
COirier-JoTRdl said in announcing the
decision Of the Supreme Court Of that
State upon the consttutionalty Of the law,
il insurcs free ballot and fair count and
fixes upon the voters beyond dispute
entire responsibility for the character and
efficiency of the persons TO be hereafter
elected TO Office in that city In New
York, the Saxton bill, the text Of which,
a. well rs that OF the Alabama bill, has
already been published in these columns,
is being now debated by the Legislature
Of that State with a reasonable prospect of
It's becoming law. In New Jersey a
similar bill TO that Of Mr.. Saxton's Is
under consideration and the Legislature Of
Ohio is debating in committee bill as full
rs that which Massachusetts has adopted
and which goes into effect at the elections
to be held in that State this fall. TnE
APrEAL again recommends the secret bal
lot 20 the Legislature Of this State ~ meas
urc Of safety Tor the voter aud means OF
preventing the coruptions Of tho ballot
box aud the importing OF voters that are
becoming the source OF constant complaint
and the basis Of contcsting elections that
arc bringing the electoral system into
doubt aud contempt Tho Alabama bill
would presently answer every purpose in
this State and we commend il TO the care
iul consideration Of the members OF the
Legislature as we'll devised measure OF
electoral reform.
