RIVERS AND HARs06S,

congressman Anderson and
Capehart were before the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors on
the 18th inst. They put in some
good work for the rivers in South
ern West Virginia including the
Guyandotte and Tug fork Of Big
Sandy. We, however, expect but
little, for either the Guyandotte
or Tug Fork, as the people direct
ly interested in the improvement
have SO far failed to make any eff
fort for an appropriation. Enough
timber alone is lost every year
upon these streams to pay the ex-
penses of their improvement, but
member of Congress unaided by
the people who know the facts has
a poor show of bringing the facts
in such a light before the Com.
mittee as to justify them in acting
as literally as they should IN
their appropriations. Get to work
and help your c Congressman. tits
much better than finding fault
with him.

The Grafton Leader says: "Hon
John d. Anderson, representative
from the Third District, has been
selected as one of the two Secre-
taries of the Democratic Congress
siOnal caucus. The position is
one of honor and has been fitting
ly bestowed. Mr.. Anderson has
had abundant legislative expert.
ence. As clerk of the State Sen,
ate for number of sessions, and
one among the best that ever oc.
cupied the position, he could
keep the legislative machinery in
proper running order and contrib
ute greatly towards making good
laws and nnmaking bad ones
He brings that experience added
to good Judgment and high abili-
ties to the House of Representa-.
tives, and has already taken ex.
cellent rank among the active
workers and good parliamentar-
ians of that body.

WHAT CAUSES ir...-A

A correspondent of the Star
Tribune, under the initials ~. r.
in criticising the call Of Governor
Fleming for aid to the Russian
peasants, truthfully says.
1t will not do to say "none of
our people are starving to death
while the: Russians are dying"
Our people are dying Hunger
is killing many; of them slowly.
but just as inevitably as it is
killing those unfortunate peas
ants abroad. 1t is breaking down
the health, inflicting disease,
breeding bad morals, running
souls and drawing ont by slow
torture the life of soul and body
from its myriad victims, in this
land where plenty sits smiling in
the face of want.
But he fails to tell US that the
class legislation of the last thirty
years is the cause of the suffering.

When n. Crisp received the
caucus nomination for Speaker Of
the House he promised the conn
try thatno step backward would
be taken in the matter of tariff
reform, and those who had learn
ed to love him on account Of his
fighting qualities in the 51st Con-
gress believed him, and their con-
fidence has not been misplaced.
A few impracticabies, however,
who care more for theory than
for actual results, have been loud
in their denunciation of both Mr..
Crisp and Mr.. Springer, the chair
man Of the Ways and Means
Committee, and all sorts OF rot
has been published by Republic
can papers as well as by a few i'm
practicable Democratic sheets in
regard to Brice German and Hill
and their intention of making
terms with those benefited by a
protective policy. Mr.. Springer
and his committee have, however,
defined the present policy of the
House upon the tariff question,
and will attack the hydra-headed
monster in detail and thereby
give the people such relief as a
Republican Senate and a Repub-
lican President will allow. Hon.
David A.iNe a,=whs isreeognized
as not only one among the ablest
leaders Of tariff reform, but who
is entirely unconnected with par
ty politics, approves the plan, and
we hope that we may now have q
united Democracy, and that the
Ways and Means Committee may
have that support from the Dem
ocratic press to which it is entitled.

The fight between the Hill and,
Cleveland factions in New York
is getting tosbe as bitter rs the
unpleasantness between the same
factions in Is4S, then known as
the Hunkers and Barnburners,
and under the leadership of Dan
iel S.Dickinson and VanBuren re-
spectively. For quarter Of a cent
ury New York has not only named
the leader Of the Democratic par
ty, but has dictated its policy, and
the party should be congratulated
on the split. The National Con-
yention in making it's platform
can now look TO the wants! and
wishes of the toiling millions Of
the West and South without con-
snlting the tastes of either the
importers or brokers of New
York, and in naming its candi
dates can also look to the West
and South. The Democratic ma
.jority in Congress is relieved of
the pressure of Wall Street and
can deal fairly with the great ag-
ricultural and mining interests Of
the West ami South, and at the
same time take care of all of the
industrial interests of the coun-
try. Hill and Cleveland may be
large men, but combined they
are not so large as the Democratic
party, and as great as is the State
of New York, we can elect the
next President without her aid,
and even defeat is preferable to
New York dictation. No Demo
crat outside of New York can ap-
prove either the mid-winter con-.
vention or the fractional bolt, and
intact there is but little either in
the leadersor in the methods of
the so called Democracy of New
York that can be approved by
any one.

ed on account of the war between

progress, and his defeat would
have been equivalent to an aban-
donment of the struggle. Grants
reelection was accomplished par
tly in consequence of the recon-

then pending, partly through the
money and influence of the whis-
