ministrations -Harrison's and that of his
successor.
The River and Harbor problem is a
vast one. In the matter Of improving
our water ways an unwise economy has
often been practiced in Difference to just
such howls as Democratic kickers are
now emitting, SO that work has been
wasteful and unnecessarily expensive by
being done too slowly. This would be
the NEWS main criticism upon such
work for these many years. 1t has not
been too bold. 1t has not been bold
enough. We have been busying our
selves with Mussel Shoals and Cheese
quakes Creek when we should have been
digging a deep water canal from Chicago
to the seaboard, from the lakes to the
Mississippi and from Portland to Gal
weston along the line Of sounds and in
land bays which dent the Atlantic coast.
We should reverse our processes and let
the little work wait until the big work
is done.
River and harbor work is worth a
moments consideration from the trade
point of view. Like any great public
work it makes business lively, gives en-
ployment to many, keeps wages firm
and creates brisk demand for material.
In the larger analysis, heavy public
works prevent a too rapid payment of
our national debt and consequent de-
rangement of the banking and currency
systems based upon it.
Against expenditures for improving
navigation, for building navy and for
erecting suitable coast defences, no
patriotic American ought ever to OBJ
ject, except on the score of faulty de-
tails, waste or mismanagement, or Sec
tional favoritism.

Democratic Promises versus Protection

Democratic Promises versus Protection.
The Democrats never tire Of preaching
economy, but they never practice what
they preach. When they stole the New
York legislature they justified the crime
on the ground that they intended to give
the people of that state an economic ad
ministration. The legislature has been
Democratic in both branches, the first
of its kind in many years. 1t had no ex-
cuse for not introducing economy into
its administration with the whole state
government in the hands of Democrats.
But the appropriations of this Legislature
foot up $50, ,00O, 900, as against $40, ,SS6,041
for the Republican Legislature of 1891;
S17,446, 1854 for that of 1890; $15, ,940, ,S47
for that of 1889; sl7.626,557 for 1888;
$40, III ,44S for 1887; $l4, ,4e9, ,S05 for 1886,
and $l5. 1929, ,124 for 1886. All these pre-
ceding legislatures were Republican in
one or both branches, and none of their
appropriations came within $40, 900, 900
of this pending Democratic administra-
tion ut Albany.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE REGISTRY BILL.

The Senate has passed the registry
bill and "Old Glory" will now fly in
stead of the flag of the Royal Naval Re-
serve over the fastest ships-with the
simple exception of the Majestic-on the
ocean. The country gains two swift,
powerful, commerce-destroying cruisers,
available in case Of war, and it main
tains in its integrity the fixed policy of
the government to require vessels fly
ing the American flag to be built in
this country, for it prohibits the two
British-built vessels from plying in
coast-wise trade, restricting them to
transatlantic voyages, and it conditions
the granting of the registry upon the
awarding of contracts within six
months time for the building of two
vessels of equal tonnage in American
shipyards, thus giving a fresh stimulus
to ship building in this country and pro-
viding for the expenditure of at least
s., ,000, 900 for American labor and ma
terials.
Even more important results are pos
sible, for the British government has the
option of buying the City of Paris and
the City of New York, in which case the
mmans viii buftd four or five steam-
ships, the crack cruisers of the world,
for the rehabilitation of our merchant
marine. The passage of the bill was as
important piece Of legislation as has
been accomplished at this session.

usual. which would not be bad STATE Of
affairs by any means
That any conceivable state of affairs
should fail to be a bad one, is some
thing of an admission for an indepen.
dent ink-weeper. Nor will we quarrel
with the fact that the coming contest,
with Cleveland and Harrison up, will be
one of issues and principles We think
it will be. But we have as little faith
as the Herald in the ''unpopularity" Of
either candidate named.
Political parties do not nominate to
high Office unpopular men. If Mr..
Cleveland is the Democratic nominee, it
will be because the masses of plain
Democrats demand him. II Mr.. Har-
rison is nominated it will be because the
masses of plain Republicans-who would
prefer Blaine if he could be had-see in
the President strong and splendid
man, a positive character, wise
and successful administrator, an
American of firm patriotic temper, a
brave soldier and civilian of soldier
like grit. They know him as the man
who wasn't afraid to discipline Chile be-
cause she was little or be firm with
Great Britain because she was big. They
know him as the executive Of reciprocity
and of the Mckinley bill. They know
him as the head of glorious Republic
cal administration.
Oh, dear no! Ben Harrison isn't un-
popular.

RIVERS AND HARBORs.

There has been great deal of outcry
about the River and Harbor bill, passed
by the Democrats House of Represen-
tatives, much Of it from Democratic
papers, quick to see the inconsistency of
reasonably generous bill with their
former outcry against the "billion dol
lar Congress" Democratic orators on
the floor of the House, too, have made
merry at the bills expense, or
mourned over it, according to
their habits and characteristics. Thus,
while Judge Holman has been de-
ploring all those sections of the bill
which do not relate to Indiana, Mr..
Bryan Of Nebraska has appealed in
piteous tones to the House to send engi-
neers to Nebraska to try and discover
some navigable streams which might be
used as mediums of spending money.
Mr.. Caruth wanted less discretion given
to the Secretary of War, and Mr.. Outh-
waite wanted to cut all the appropria-
tions down 90 per cent, which rule-of-
thumb style of procedure is about as
nonsensical confession of inability to
legislate inteliigently as was Morrison's
famous Horizontal Reduction BILL
1t seems to us the duty of the NEWS,
as a fair-minded Republican organ, to
come to the defence of the Democrats
against themselves We think Mr.. Mr.
Holman is wrong in deprecating, and
Mr.. Bryan in ridiculing, appropriations
in general. To find fault with details
would be easy. The bill is probably
defective. Any measure born of the
ignorance and incompetence of the
present House of Representatives could
scarcely prove otherwise. But to con-
denim it as a whole, unread and un.
examined, simply because it appro-
PIRATES a large sum of money is an
injustice which few Democrats
would, we think, commit We're they not
impelled by the spectacle of their own
inconsistency in denouncing Republican
expenditure, and had they not before
election promised prodigies of retrench-
ment which they now find themselves
unable TO carry out. II is because Demo-
Gratis see that their own experience
proves the Fifty-frst Congress to have
been economical and judicious in ex-
penditure. and because the campaign is
close upon us, that they are abusing
what their own Mr.. Blanchard calls
"the best River and Harbor bill ever
presented to Congress- and which yes
terday passed the House by strictly
non-partisan vote.
Nor do we think the contract provis-
ion OF the bill so bad in theory or practise
as Judge Holman seemed in debate 20
think. Indeed, contract work is about
the best method of carrying out public
improvements on large scale, as muni-
cipal experience proves. II 10 We're not
so, and IL the work 10 be done were not
in the main necessary, Democratic
House would hardly put such powers
over the expenditure OF large sum of
money into the hands Of Republican ad-

The Secretary Su,taincd.

Last week the FREE Press gave a
somewhat extended notice of the contro-
verSy between the Pierre printing svnd-
cate and tho secretary of state, and then
took the position that the secretary was
justified in rejecting the joint bid. both
in law and in equity. Viewers then sat-
isied tina, the secretary was well fortified
in his position.
On Tuesday night of this week Judge
Fuller heard the arguments in the case
wherein the printers ask for a writ Of
mandamus compelling the secretary to
contract with them. and the judge
promptly decided that the secretary vas
justified in his action. and denied the
writ. y stay of proceedings was also de-
MED. and the secretary is free to go ahead
and let the contract under the advertise
ment which appears elsewhere in this pa
per. Thus it will be seen that the circuit
court upholds the secretary and the posi-
ton OF the FREE PRESS.

AFur,ncr pierre Printer.

Verne JayncS, the printer who is in Jail
in Sioux City for throwing coal, was a
Pierre printer for a long time and an en-
ploye OF the FREE PRESS. lie quit the
FREE PRESS with several others on a
strike, and went to Sioux City where he
has been for a couple OF years. He was a
good printer and generally very nice. but
he seems to have got into bad company.
The Sioux City journal has the following:
William Luke, the printer who was
with Verne Jaynes Saturday night when
the chunk of coal was thrown at +. A.
Conway through the window OF his Office
at All Douglas street, was arrested by the
police Yesterday morning charged with
completely in the crime. lie acknowl-
edged that he was present at the time and
said that .laynes threw the piece of coal
Lou Guide, another printer, and the
one who said he was in the alley and saw
Jaynes throw the piece Of coal, was also
arrested. Jaynes in conversation with
the police officers yesterday, admitted his
guilt, but offered as an excuse the fact
that he was drunk and that he was urged
to throw the coal by other printers who
were in he .oY Friday night.
The men are being held on a charge of
destroying the property of another, but it
is probable that charge of assault with
intent to kill. or assault with intent to do
great bodily injury, will be lodged against
them before they are arragned in police
court today.
