A Typical "Reformer."

George William Curtis, editor of Har-
service reform, and was member of the
original board of commissioners appoint
ed by President Grant. Naturally there
was some curiosity as to how he would
receive the Democratic nomination for
Vice President. Mr.. Stevenson is the an
tithesis of civil service reform, the EN-
bodiment of the spoils system. 'sTo the
victors belong the spoils'' was his motto
when first assistant postmaster general,
and he has been aptly termed ''the heads
man of Cleveland administration" Mr..
Curtis accepts the nomination of Mr..
Stevenson with remarkable subserviency.
In effect, he says that with MI. Cleveland
at the head of the ticket it matters little
who occupies the second place. The Vice
Presidency is not so regarded generally.
There is contingency that the Vice Presi-
dent may become the President. Tyler
thus succeeded Harrison; Fillmore sue
cee(ed Taylor; johnson succeeded Lin
coin: and Arthur succeeded Garfield. Mr..
ground to stand upon or else have admit
ted that his championship of civil service
reform is insincere, and that his professed
independence is merely intended to delude
his readers. Practically he wears the col
lar OF the Democracy and Tammany Hall
holds the other end of the chain. Kate
Field remarks. philosophically, in her
own Washington: 'The more l see, read
and hear of professional reformers, the
more faith have in the common variety
of humanity that makes no pretensions to
superiority.' The cap fits George Will
liam Curtis like the paper on the wall. -

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July II, 1S9

WASHINGTON, D. c., July II. 1892.
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Per-
haps some of your readers would like to
know the exact appropriations, made in the
river and harbor bill as it finally passed,
for our Congressional District They are
as follows:
For Porcupine Island, Maine: Continu-
ing improvement, fifty thousand dollars.
Improving harbor at Belfast, Maine !:
Continuing Improvement, ten thousand
dollars.
Improving Bagaduce River, Maine:
Continuing Improvements five thousand
dollars.
Improving Kennebec River, Maine;
Continuing improvements, one hundred
thousand dollars, of which not exceeding
five thousand dollars may, in the discre-
ton of the Secretary of War, be expend-
ed between the cities of Augusta and
Waterville amounting in all to Sl65. 600.
When at home | heard it said that these
improvements are not needed. and my
action in urging their recommendation
and before Congress was deprecated. If
they are not needed then no improvement
of our rivers and harbors by the Govern
ment should be made: for there are no
more meritorious cases in the entire river
and harbor bill than these.
The great necessity of dredging Belfast
harbor is known to all OF our citizens and
there has been an earnest call for it by all
who have vessels or cargoes enter or de
the people of the surrounding country,
whose products are shipped from Belfast
and to those away, who send cargoes to us.
1t is of great Importance that we should
have sufficient depth Of water for the Bos-
ton steamers and the vessels now of great
er draught than formerly, which enter
and clear from our harbor.
The breakwater at Bar Harbor is neces-
sary to protect steamers and shipping from
the southeasterly winds which now SWEEP
in there direct from the ocean.
The appropriation for Bagaduce river is
small. 1t is needed to clear out the OBJ
structions to navigation, which is impor
tant on account of the millions of brick:
and other freights which 90 out from that
river to the ocean, AS to Kennebec rive
no intelligent man will for q momen
doubt the great importance OF its i'm
provement. The amount Of tonnage which
enters and goes out from it during a yea
is enormous.
In the extent Of value of it's commerce
it is the fifth river in the United States
The distractions in it are such that it,
navigation by vessels of the Size whicl
now visit it. is exceedingly difficult The
plan is to clear it out so as to give a deptl
thence cut to sea: and the government cal
make no better investment for the benefits
Of the commerce of the country than t.
carry out this plan of improvement an(
complete it as soon as possible. Believing
thoroughly in the great good to accrue
from these projected Improvements shall
earnestly urge their continuance to com.
pletion, whoever may wall at them.
L think Congress will adjourn as sool
as the first of August, unless it shall be
detained by the embarrassment of oul
Democratic friends upon the silver qucs
ton. That seems to be a bad egg fol
them and they appear to be at loss to
know how to dispose of it.
