I'm PERFECT TOUCH"
Congressman johnson Has Weight In
Congress.

(F,rom the Calaveras Prospect.)
A contemporary that tries to pose as
an exponent of Democracy is seeking to
make political capital by attacking the
record of Congressman Johnson. 1t is
working in a very poor field. While it
is attacking him for pushing bills ap-
propriating large sums of money for
various Government work in this State,
it seems to forget that these same ap-
propriations have been special objects
of his Democratic predecessors for
years, and that every Democrat in the
State, as we'll as every one else with a
particle of sense, has been advocating.
That we have been shamefully neg
public buildings and river and harbor
Improvement are concerned, is well
known, as well known as the other fact
that it is mainly due to the inefficiency
of Democratic Congressman that it is
so. Mr.. Johnson appears to have some
weight in Congress, and by his untiring
energy he may succeed at length in Sc
curing some attention to our needs
With two great rivers draining an area
equal to nearly the whole of the South
Atlantic States, or from Maine to the
mouth OF the Chesapeake, the Gov
ernment has hardly expended for their
Improvement in thirty years as much
as has been done for a single river in
that country. The Voice" will have
to seek other cause against Johnson.
He is in perfect touch with the people
on the appropriation matter.
