RIVERS AND HARBORS.

The Presidents timely recommendation OF
economy In appropriations, in order that the
Governments expenditures may he kept within
its receipts, was well placed at the end Of his
Message to Congress, where it has the force Of
n final appeal to patriotic prudence. 1t is graft
fying to learn that influential members of the
House are in sympathy with the spirit Of the
Presidents advice and in considering how the
probable resources of the Government can be
most wisely applied to meet its requirements
have already given approval to the suggestion
that an important saving can be effected in
river and harbor improvements without risk OF
serious harm The estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 3d. 1890, include under the head of
public works an outlay Of about S49,OOOOOO
on rivers and harbors The magnitude Of this
sum is perhaps sufficiently striking without
comparisons but It Is at least interesting to re-
call. as an example Of the facility with which
public expenditures grow that the River and
Harbor bill which President Arthur vetoed In
1882, thereby performing the most conspicuous
end perhaps in general estimation the most
creditable act Of his Administration, called for
only S18,743,S76, or less than twO-ffths Of the
huge total which Is contemplated in the estl-
mates for the next fiscal year.
The proposal which is attracting favorable
attention among leading Representatives Is
that nothing shall be appropriated for rivers
and harbors at this session beyond the amount
required to meet existing contracts for improve
ments already authorized and under way. 1t
appears to us'that this Is reasonable curtail-
ment which It should be the aim Of Congress 10
achieve. II Is true that such a restriction might
exclude some deserving objects but. on the
other hand, TO open the door to exceptions ex-
cept In cases Of absolute and obvious necessity,
would be pretty sure to aggravate the evil or
log-rollng and In the end spoil the plan of
economy. A brief halt in the progress of river
and harbor development could not do much
HARM while 1t is probable that the balance Of
advantage would be large. without regard TO
the condition Of the National Treasury.
But that Is a consideration which cannot he
ignored with safety or honor. Congress Is
bound 10 act In accordance not with It's under
standing Of what various localities would like
to have, but with It's best judgment Of what the
country is able to pay for. Prompt execution
Of work already begun and exact fulflment Of
contracts are likely TO be profitable in the out
come as we'll as creditable; but new projects
of improvement ought 10 be examined with
scrupulous care and with firm purpose to post
pone them in every possible instance to more
convenient season.
