From this entrance to Mr.. Bonaparte's
Office is a matter of only a few steps. j

Inland Waterways.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.


A committee of thirty, representing
the Rivers and HarbOrs Cangress,
waited on Speaker Cannon, OF the
House of the Representatives., last
Friday and presented resolutions in
behalf of thirty-six States, urging
the American Congress to adopt at
it's present session a broad, liberal
and comprehensive plan for the i'm
prOvement within the next ten years
of all the the truly meritoriOus and
deserving waterways in the Union
which have been approved by the
engineers department of the army
or may be approved
In reply, Speaker Cannon said that
SIP, 900, 900 had been appropriated
for rivers and harbOrs improvement,
and that additionally contracts had
been let to the total amount of 1884,
100000, and that up to 1890 the
total expenditure had been $34o,-
100000.
He pointed out that there is now
in the national treasury, available in
large part or in whole for these pnr-
poses. a surplus OF $24O, 100000,
which is more than possibly could
be expended during the life of the
present Congress in carrying out
these works. On the whole, Mr.. Can
non spoke approvingly and hopefully
OF the proposal, and no doubt he rep
resents the sentiment of Congress.
1t is a settled policy OF four Govern
ment to improve the inland water
ways and keep the harbors open, and
there is in it nothing in conflict with
Democratic principles. 1t is a policy
totally different from that of Govern
ment ownership and operation OF
railroads. The rivers and lakes are
public highways, open to all craft
upon equal terms. There is involved
no question either of Government
ownership or operation. The water
ways are public property, and they
afford the surest and best means Of
regulating railroad rates.
There are just two dangers to be
guarded against. One is that some
OF the money is apt to be wasted,
and the other that the railroads, if
they are not watched, will monopolize
the steamboat lines and the landing
