FOR A RIVER
CHANNEL.

: Harrisburg, Pa, May 2l.-A hope.
full though belated movement for an
appropriation of 5000, 900 from the
State for the improvement of Phila-
delphia's Harbor and deepening the
Delaware River channel was begun
here to-day, through the introduc-
tion OF a bill in the House by Repre-
sentative Jones of Manayunk.
Tne I'LL appropriatcs that amount
to the department of Internal At
fairs, for the purpose of deepeningthe
channel OF the Delaware River from
the Port of Philadelphia to the Della
ware State line, SO that the same
shall have mean depth of 80 feet at
low water, and for improving the har.
Dor of the Port OF Philadelphia, 10 &C.
cordance with the plans OF the De-
partment of War of the United States
as approved by the act of Congress,
said amount to be paid to the Secre-
tary Of Internal Affairs ON warrant
of the Auditor General, and vouchers
for all expenses shall be certified and
filed with the Auditor General
Chairman Bliss Saysh he will arrange
for hearing on the bill Wednesday
evening, May 20, when representa-
tiveS Of Philadelphia's maritime in
terests may join the State Legisla-
tors from that city who propose toar-
que before the committee in support
of the measure, Many Representa-
tives from other parts of the State
are ready to advocate the bill on the
ground that the interests of phila-
delphia are those of the entire com.
m0nWealth.
AS a result of information that
Mayor Ashbridge is giving every pos
sihle encouragement to the shipbuild-
ers, shippers and maritime and com.
merclal interests generally, that are
understood to be back of the Jones
bill, efforts are being made TO call the
Philadelphia delegation together in
advance of the Appropriation Com
mittee S meeting, if possible for the
purpose of promoting the much need
ed improvement to the river that
fronts the metropolis.
Insurance Commissioner Durham
told Mr.. Jones that he favors the
BILL but its friends must ascertain
what other bills can be cuU down to
make up the 500, 600.
Chairman Bliss, of the Appropria-
tions Committee, though at present
talking very cautiously on this bill as
he does at the outset OF all important
appropriations, is undoubtedly friend
ly to the project Of further improving
the Delaware. Ills own county, Del
aware has a city, Chester, on that
river. When Bliss sees demonstrated
the ways and means Of providing the
money it is inferred from his com.
ment that lie will give all the help he
can to the Philadelphians.

The imported editor OF the Every
Evening is afraid the Republicans
Will carry the city election and are
predicting calamlties in such
case. The Republicans have con.
trolled the municipal affairs of our
city and have not increased the tax
rate. They can't do any worse
than the Democrats have done.
Never have the tax payers been so
aroused as at present, irrespective
Of party, and the people want a
change. There is no use fer the
Every Evening to kick against the
pricks, for the Democrats will not
be victorious at this election. Their
mad dog cry will avail nothing to
the Democrat nominees. A big
deficit now confronts the tax pay
crs and the Republicans were not
party to the same. Is this what
the property owners want? We
