RIVERS AND HARBORS.

There IS much hard, sound sense In the opln-
,son attributed to the chairman or the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors, to the effect
that while liberal appropriations should per
hans be made they should not be widely ana
sndiscrfmiuateIy scattered on schemes Of du-
Hious value or On those which cannot be nm
sshef In q reasonable length Of time. AS to the
general policy Of making river and harbor i'm
proyernents through federal aid there can be
no serious doubt The system has long been
established, with practically universal approval
IT is also confirmed by example elsewhere
Spend as freely as we may, we are not hKely
10 approximate TO the scale OF expenditures
prevailing In other lands or even TO that which
we ourselves have set UP IN our estimates Tor
an interoceanic canal in foreign land Large
as are our appropriations for commercial IA
cllities they are almost petty in comparison
with the volume and value of the commerce
which they are meant TO facilitate.
The true ground of objection TO or criticism
of big river and harbor bills has not been that
they were too big. but that they were not prop
erlv apportioned Such bills have, in the apt
colloouialism of the capital. become known as
pork barrels" from which each member, or
at least each state, is entitled to take succu-
lent portion. Some really important water

Improvement But the Representative of some
other district VIII not vote for il unless he
can get an appropriation for his district. too,
True there is no waterway In his district need
ing Improvement or worthy of 1T. No matter.
HIS constituents want some federal money
spent among them They want a chunk from
the pork barrel" So some rill must be
larped into a river, and water enough TO float
skiff must be pumped into it. The fine old
rule Of You tickle me and I'll tickle you pre-
walls. And so if the harbor which handles
more than half the country's commerce and
receives more than half It's revenue gets an
appropriation TO keep 1t in barely decent trim
some other place SO petty as to be Jumped
among the "also rams" must have an equal
bounty. The plan has been not TO put the
money where 1t would do the most good to
commerce. but TO distribute it according to the
covetougness Of constituencies.

INDIA.

Inc thlrtieth anniversary-On the first dav of
the present month-of the proclamation of Queen
Victoria OF England as Empress of India suggests
the fitness OF some consideration of the general
erects and results Of British rule in Hindostan.
or course, that rule far antedates the proclama-
uon Of the empire. India came directly under.
the Crown IN 1858. while the establishment OF
British dominance IN that land dates nearly a
century further back-it was In 1865 that Ben
gal was coded to John Company while Mysore
was taken In 1892, the Carnatic IN 1901. Scinda

population Of about 100000 0O0-with the one
exception Of China by far the largest in tina

ditionally held, the Justification of a govern.
ment is to be found In Its beneficence to the
people whom it governs the question is legit
fmately to be asked whether British rule in
India has, on the whole. resulted in good or in
evil to the Indian people
That question has been much debated both IN
England and In America. and with some occa-
slonal displays OF feeling In both countries The

which is the natural one for Americans TO as

possible TO conclude with reason that British

To argue otherwise would be TO deny that IT

roads and canals and irrigation works and uni

to combat with the resources of wealth and sci

and the rsrages OF disease. 1t is true that ap-
palling famines and epidemics have occurred In
India under British rule. They have occurred
however not because Of but In spite of that
rule. There Is full reason for believing that
they would have occurred Just the same had
England not been ruling india and there Is
complete conviction that In such absence OF
English rule their results would have been i'm
