FET0 OF THE RHzER IND
 MIRROR BILL.

President Cleveland's veto of the River and Harbor Bill should be a source Of qualification to the tax payers of the nation out of whose pockets all appropriations must finally come. His reasons are clear ly set forth in his veto message, which must appeal to the patriot ism of the entire country.
 The President correctly declares e'that many of the objects for which the river and harbor bill appropri- ates public money are not related to the public welfare;" says the Chicago Record an independent newspaper, in discussing this subject, and many of them are palpablY for the benefit of limited localities or in aid Of individyal interest He also says that some of the projects for which appropriations are proposed in the bill have been entered upon without the approval or against the objee- tions of the examining engineers. A more remarkable statement is the following.
 "4I learn from official sources that there are appropriations con- tained in the bill for work which private parties have actually agreed with the government to do in con- sideration of their occupancy of public property.
 "The President points out that there are AT items of appropriations contained in the bill and that every part of the country is repre- sented in the distribution of it's favors. Therefore, while it is true the bill contains meritorious pro- visions, it will be suspected that it's strength with Congressmen is due to the fact that it is in great part a log-rolIing measure, in which the special and pet interests of members are looked out for without regard to the effect on the public treasury. As President Arthur said of such meas ures in veto of river and harbor bill in 1882 Thus as the bill be- comes more objectionable it secures more support.
 Congress is especially to be crit icised for extravaganza in appro- priations at time when the Gov ernment revenues are small At tention is called to this point by the President. It looks very much as if the way was being prepared by Congress and an excuse devised for the enactment of another hightariff law as soon as there shall be a change of administration.
 It has been expected, even in Congress, that the President would veto this bill just as he has done. In anticipation of such action ad- iournment was delayed long enough to give an opportunity to pass the measure over the veto. The objec- tions of the President ale to be over ridden, not because they are ill- taken, but simply because there may be votes enongh to do so. This will be sorry spectacle if the pro- gramme is carried out The Presi- dential veto will receive the sane tion of ealm-minded men generally.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The clipper ship Tam O1Shanter of Portland, Me, has arrived here from Hong Kong af- ter an eventful passage of 110 days. Captain Peabody reports that when two days out from Hong Kong he encoun- tered a heavy typhoon lasting forty eight hours. The storm was accompa- nied by a tremendous rain storm which deluged the ship for two whole days, accompanied by severe thunder and lightning. Captain Peabody, who is not prone ito telling fish or snake stor- ies, reports that off the coast of Bor- neo the ship passed through fifty miles of water literally covered with snakes of all sizes and colors. Such large numbers of snakes are frequently seen in eastern seas.

A Native Offers an Explanation-Britain'
 .. Naval Superiority.
 How was it that falf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine. it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize. to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessiye seafaring invaders of these is lands who were tra;ned for generations m the arduous defense of these shores. and taught to achieve naval superior ity as a necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularitv of our position became more marked as our possessions, in, Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands. whose preoccupations have rot risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been tho guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
A Very Quiet Day and a Light Vote
 PoIlled.

The Democrats yesterday held their primaries for the election of delegates to the county convention, which will convene on the 11th inst.
 1t was a hard matter to tell that anything was going on, as everything was so quiet. On Wall street only, the polling place of the Third ward, was anything unusual noticed. The polls opened at 1 o'clock and closed at D. m. There was no rush to deposit votes, nor were rustlers in evidence, the reason being that there was no op- position. The tickets at the caucuses gave satisfaction and no scratching was done. The total vote cast was 276, the heaviest vote boiled was in the Third ward, 132 being the number In the Second and Fourth wards 52 votes each were boiled and 40 in the First.
 The delegates elected are as follows:
 First ward-Phil Brannen, c. A. Luke, Jas. McNamara, T. M. Nolin, w. B. Lount, J. M. Shott, s. w. Purdy, Ed Schwartz, Geo. McF'all.

J. F. MTCOY'S DEATH.
His Body Found in Cornfeld Near Belleville, III.

J. F. Mccoy left Prescott at o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, August 26, on the northbound train for Athens, Alabama, where his wife has been vis- iting and where he expected to remain, says The Journal-Miner. Since that nothing has been heard from him by his relatives, until yesterday, when a telegram was received, announcing his failure to arrive at his destination. His relatives here as we'll as at Athens, Alabama, immediately commenced an investigation by telegraph, and the first definite news was received this morning from St. Louis, saying that he had left St. Louis at 9.25 p. m, Friday, August 28. The conductor thought that he had left the train at Mousea- tah, Illinois, and that section men had found his cruteh, hat, small bundle and his ticket to Athens, near Belle vile, Illinois. Latter this afternoon another telegram was received saying that his body had been found in a corn field near Belleville today in a badly decomposed condition.
 MT. Mccoy was accidentally shot in the leg some time since at Chaparral, and had never fully recovered from the effect of it, and walked with a crutch. The only plausible theory is that while in a dazed condition after leaving St. Louis, he walked off the train and wandered into the corn field. where he died and where his dead body was found today. He had resided for three or four years in Prescott, but fN1d fha WIitpr, nf tihic at Ash Eo,.Iy that he intended remaining in the east.

BRYAN AT MILWAUKEE.
Many Leaders Brave the Elements to
 Hear Him Speak.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 5.-The platform arranged for Bryan to speak upon this afternoon was erected in the midst of the National park, comprising ten acres in the south side about three miles from the heart of town. The long distance and lack of facilities for transportation and the threatening weather probably prevented the crowd being large as it otherwise would have been. The ground surrounding the four sides of the platform was filled with people as far out as the voice of the speaker could be heard. The crowd was variously estimated from 6,000,000 to 100000 Many ladies braved the dampness for the oppor- tunity to ihear Bryan speak.

The September number of the Arena continues the valuable educational work of that able magazine on the great issue confronting the American people today, namely, the adjustment of the future currency of the nation A portrait of Hon. w. J. Bryan forms the frontspiece, and the opening pa- per is a reproduction of remarkable article by MT. Bryan on the money question, which, in the light of pres ent events, reads like prophecy, and shows in a striking way the marvel lous foresight and statesmanlike acuteness of Mr. Bryan. Wm P. St. John, M. A., until recently president of the Mercantile National bank of New York, now treasurer of the Ma tional Democratic and National bi- metallic parties, discusses free silver in a valuable paper entitled Free Sil- yer and Prosperity" in which he points out in a clear. concise manner the dis astrous effects of the present financial system on the prosperity of the Ma tion.
 McClure's Magazine for September will contain the first report ever pub hshed of Abraham Lincoln's famous Lost Speech" delivered at Blooming ton, before the first Republican state convention held in Illinois. "I never witnessed such a scene before or since," says Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune" who was a member of the convention and writes ipfr k<n1 <Nf 1 speech describing the occasion.
 Justice to the unknown great, when first sought, years after their achieve ments, is always doubly hard to se- cure. 1t has certainly been tardy in coming to Anna Ella Carroll. But after reading the masterly array of testimony in her behalf marshalled in the September number of Godey' s Magazine, the difficulty would seem to lie in denying justice to her longer. It seems to be incontestably estab- lished that she was one of the acutest strategists of all history, and tbat her | radical changes in governmental plans for prosecuting the Civil War actually entitle her to being called '"The Wo- man That Saved the Undon.''
 The accounts of 1.-The New Olympian Games" at Anthems came to this coun- try in brief cable, dispatches or scrappy letters.
