Columbia River Inpro yeneutg.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Towards the i'm
provement of the mouth of the Columbia
river, Oregon, Major Thomas H. Hand
bury, engineer in charge, reports that there
have been expended S614, 253, leaving a
balance of S173,247 unexpended. For the
coming year he recommends an appropria-
ton of S700,000 1t will require $242, 300 for
the construction of the canal at the
Columbia river cascades and accompanying
improvement of the river also under
Major Handbury's charge. For the ensuing
year it is estimated that S700,000 can be
proitably expended for other improve
ments in Oregon and Washington territory.
Major Handbury makes the following re
commentator for appropriation. Chechalis
river, $1,000; Skagit Stietquamish, Nool-
sack, Snohomish and Snoqualmi rivers, 49,,
000 The work of gauging the waters Of
the Columbia is of great service to com
merce and can be maintained for another

THE oFFENsE CANNOT BE OBsCURED.

The tergiversations of those standby
him-anyway organs, the Lincoln Journal
and the Republican OF this city, in trying
to palliate Harrison's bad break in remov-
ing an upright Judge because he admins
tered the laws in conformity with his own
conscience rather than the policy of the
executive, are really painful to behold.
Either through ignorance or its pretense,
they will not see that there is only one
point at issue. The Herald will agree that
many of the Mormons are law breakers
and chat such as are should be given the
punishment of the law. 1t will agree that
Harrison has right to appoint Republicans
All these and other points raised are but
side issues and not germane to the point
in contention that the President has
committed an offense which should be re
buked by arbitrarily stepping with the
executive power into the domain of the
Judiciary to lay down a policy" for the
guidance of the latter. In other words in
structing the construer. Never before has
a President of this republic ventured to
arrogate such authority. The legislative
branch of government has attmpted to en-
croach upon the executive perOgatives,
but the judiciary has been reverently kept
above political proclamation, President
Harrison is the first man to go on record
in favor of making the judiciary the tool
of the executive. This fact is too patent
to be obscured by invective against the
Mormons or the politics Of the removed
Judge. The offense has not to do with the
conditions or environments. 1t is pure ly
and simply the right of President to seize
upon more than his constitutional perOga-
tiVas. Come to the point at issue.-Omana

pledges in conventions and campaigns.

dents ask that no school lands be sold for
less than $40 per acre without the consent
of at least two consecutive legislatures;
that no more than One-fourth of the lands
shall be sold within five years, and that at

lows: Providinga that the license for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors shall be 81 900
in cities of over five thousand population,
and $500 in towns of less; making the basis
of representation in the legislature one
representative to every 200 voters; making
