II is very strange that some pre-
tended leaders In society and those who
are moulders Of public opinion, says the
PhilIppl Republican, will, by their nc.
tons and conversations, endorse and
we may well say, support such an
abominable thing as a speakeasy. We
have some such men in Phllippi. Such
people as well as the speak-easy should
be discarded by all good citizens.

yEw-YORK HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS

y +
The Senate Committee on Commerce has
made some amendments 10 the River ana Har-
hor hill including a number Of items affecting
New-YOrk IIarbor and the Hudson River. we
have published the gs, Of these and commend
them to careful consideration. II Will be seen
thai the provision for making the East Channel
thirty-fvc feet deep Is changed so as 10 make
il forty feet deep. and there is added pro-
vision looking TO the doing Of the work by the
Government itself instead of letting il out Oh
contract The Bay Ridge and Red Hook chan
nels are also TO be made forty feet deep. The
appropriations for the Harlem and East rivers
are considerably increased. though the exact
nature of the work to be done is not specified
There are also some appropriations for work
on the Hudson River and in its various harborS
The general appropriation for the Hudson is
less than ! per cent of the value of "a single
years traffic on that river. That surely ought
not to be objected TO as eXorbiant.
Several millions Of dollars are TO be expended
upon the harbor Of New-Nork if these items be-
come law Some of the appropriations are con
ditional But they may be rcckoned 10 amount
TO an aggregate Of not less than seven millions
Is that too much? Let us see. From the be
ginning Of our Government down TO 1896 New
81 252 500, out of total of 500, 46s. G53 given
10 all the harbors OF the Nation. That is 10
say. this port received less than per cent Of
the appropriations made for harbor improve
ments, while ii paid TO the Federal Treasury
more than CO per cent Of the latterS customs
revenues The contrast between the two per-
centages is significant. We have not reckOned
what percentage Of this years appropriations
is intended for New-York. But we have no
idea that II comes anywhere near TO being as
great as New-York's percentage Of the Nation
commerce. And we are quite certain that If
all the items proposed FOR NewYo rk be granted
this ports aggregate will not yet be 1.-THE Of
what II should be II ii were to be cOmmensu-
rate with the rank of this port among the ports
of the Nation When not only such ports as
Mobile. Galveston, Savannah and Baltimore
have received more for improvements than
New-YOrk. but the amounts appropriated for
the kentucky River, the Great kanawha River
and the Fox and Wisconsin rivers have far ex-
ceeded those for New-York Harbor there can
be no saying that this port is favored unduly.
The cold truth is that New York has been neg
lected beyond all reason, and that twice or
three times the proposed expenditures upon it
would be q mere bagatelle in proportion 10 IT'S
importance and 10 the expenditures elsewhere
made.
We moi arguing for extravaganza. We do
Ict believe in spending one cent needleSsly
upon this harbor. But we do believe that, in
view Of the small amounts hitherto given and
the vast importance of New-York to the com
s-erce and the revenues of the whole country,

TAKE CARE or MOUNT TOW.

The Municipal Art Commission meets to-day
10 consider the design for the proposed Sol
d.ers and Sailors Monument The question OF
site is Of quite rs great importance. If final
decision has not already been made, Mount
Tom I'm Riverside Park ought not to be select
ed without careful consideration Of the Obiec-
tons that have been raised by some of the
most competent experts in the community
The fact that such eminent critics as John O.
A. Ward. Andrew II. Green and Samuel Par
sons. ir. the former Superintendent Of Parks
unite in protesting against this use of one Of
the unique pieces Of natural landscape in the
city is ground for believing that the objections
have merit
Tie arguments urged will appeal 10 many
lovers of that beautiful spot. Mount Tom. these
critics say, is Itself a beautiful natural forma-
ton. that standing as II now does furnishes
the keynote to the whole landscape. If the
proposed monument were erected upon II the
unity and beauty Of the scene would he lost;
and once accomplished. It would be realized
that the same mistake had been made that all
competent observers recognized when the
Obclisk had been placed in its present elevated
position in Central Park. The surroundings
too. also strengthen the criticism The large
buildings on the opposite side Of Riverside
Drive would dwarf the monument and destroy
the vista that should he afforded it, Even for
the purposes Of military parade the situation
would prove unfortunate since no considerable
body of troops could be gathered in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF the monument. II there are
no sufficient answers to these objections. 1t IS
Of vastly greater importance that the selection
of the site should be delayed than that an
irreparable mistake should be made in
the choice OF an improper one.

rur PRESIDENT AND THE ARMY BILL

Whether any extra session of Congress will
ho called appears TO depend upon The action Of
Congress- M this session on the Army bill and
ono or two others. II is stated that the Presi-
don't has Informed influential men in tho IIonse
and IN the Senate that he will feel that 1t is
necessary for the public welfare to call law
makers together again In extra session II the
Army REORGANIZATION hill fails to pass.
The President is required TO call an extra scs-
sion Of Congress, Whenever matters remain OF
such public consequence rs 10 render ina
course in his Judgment necessary 1t is also
his duty 10 confer freely with Congress. 10 al
wise It by formal messages and otherwise re
oordlnc matters which should receive attention
or should allcc, It's action. The President is
simply performing a sworn duty if ne advises
Congress that in his judgment the Army rcor-
ronzation is necessary 10 the public welfare
and safety. And again. he + only performing
sworn duty. and also helping Congress as far as
no can 10 discharge IT, duty. If he informs Con
gressmcn that H. will be obliged 10 summon an
extra session in ease that measure fails When IL
IS remembered how scrupulously the President
has avoided appearance Of trenchins upon the
prcrocative Of Congress. and how much better
are his opportunities than those Of most con
orcssmen for knowing the inside workings OF
the Army Department. what difficulties il had
TO meet and overcome, and what changes have
become necessary TO the safety Of the country,
il seems strangely out Of place that he should
be accused OF undue influence or Improperly
because he advises Congress frankly and in
good season regarding what seem to him ur-
gent public necessities.

purely personal reasons, In order To snatch a
political gain by discrediting both the EXecu-
tive Of the Nation and lis Senate, or in order

The proposition to remodel the Hall OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington by abolishlng desks
and giving the members mere benches, such as
Members Of Parliament at Westminster have, is
decidedly interesting There is no doubt that
the desk system has been grossly abused. II
the abolition Of desks should result in making
members pay closer attention to business and
less to private affairs 1t would be the filling Of
n Iong-fct want 1t was attempted in the last
Congress before the Civil War. but the Repre-
sentatives then went mourning for their desks
rehclled against the benches. and in little while
reverted to the old system. If they should try
the experiment again now. it is to be hoped they
may have more staying power.
