The River and Harbor Hill.
A CURIOUS COLLECTION Or JOBS THAT IS TO
BE PUT THROUGH CONGRESS BV T.OO-ROL
LING.
Bp*cml DNtt(h lo Ihe World.
WASHINGTON, Juno 16. The River I
and Harbor bill pending in the House
is a more picturesque collection of jobs
than has ever before been presented to i
Congress in that annual and curious
pi&:e of legislation. It is the product
of four months of logrolling in the
Committee on Commerce. It finds in
thirty-live of the thirty-eight States
inlets and creeks, oyster bay* and
fishing-coves and pollywog streams
which demand " improvement,'" and it j
is largely devoted to the increase of the
push-boat navigation of the country.
The committee in the report accom
panying the bill boldly announces its
purpose and makes some extraordinary
statements: "The committee believe
that at no time in the history of our
Government have the people so unani i
mously demanded of Congress liberal
appropriations for rivers and harbors."
This belief, of course, is not well-ground
ed in the convictions of the masse* of j
the taxpayers of the country. The
committee say "that at no time in its
history has the United States Treasury
been in such a condition as to warrant
large expenditures in this direction.'"
This allusion to the vast surplus in the
Treasury, taken out of the pockets of
the people, as a prey for spoilsmen, is
unquestionably and lamentably true;
but the committee have the audacity to
say "that it is the desire of the people,
rather than reduce the taxes upon the
luxuries of life, as has been contemplat
ed by this House, that relief be given
to them by large appropriations for in
ternal improvements." This "desire,"
1 need not say, exists only among the
beneficiaries of the appropriations.
While the great river systems of the
United States remain the same from
year to year, the most remarkable dis
coveries are annually made of new
streams which need improvement.
Forty such streams have been discovered
since last year. The rapid and alarm
ing growth of the sums appropriated in :
the River and Harbor bill from year to
year should attract the attention and
indignation of the taxpayers. In 1861*-
70 the amount appropriated in this bill j
was leas than $4,000,000; in 1870-71 >
the sum was $1,400,000; in 1871-72.5•">.-
588,000 in 1872-73 it was $6,193,000;
During the life of the Forty fourth
Congress, the House being largely Dem
ocratic, the appropriation for two years
was only $5,015,000 for rivers and
• harbors. The appropriations called for
by the bill now pending for one year
are $17,350,000 in round numbers.
Last year this appropriation was sll,
000,000. The increase in the appropria
tions for this purpose over those of last
year is about 50 per cent., and the Re
publican policy seems to be to maintain
this rate of increase so that next year
about $26,000,000 would be shovelled
into rivers and harbor*.
Appropriations once begun are not
easy to stop. Portland last year had an
appropriation of $20,000, this year it has
$110,000; New Haven last year had $60,-
000, now $200,000; Baltimore last year
$150,000, now $000,000; Chareston •175.-
UOO, now $750,000; Cumberland Sound
had laat year SIOO,OOO, now $500,000;
Michigan City, Indiana, last year $45,-
000, this year $170,000:-Yellow Stone ri
ver, laat year $20,000. now SIOO,OOO.
Such is the increasing avarice of our riv
ers and harbors. As Mr. Cox remarks,
" It ia not water that raises appropria
tions but it is the appropriations that
raise water."
There •re fifteen members of the
House Committee on Commerce. I need
not observe that the States from which
they bail are liberally provided for in
this bill. Nearly seven millions of the
ten millions apportioned to the States
for purposes no* miscellaneous are given
to these fifteen Slates represented on
the Committee of Commerce, which a
member cells "comroitte States". These
commute sUtes, that ia, receive about
three-fourths of all the appropriations
made outside of the miscellaneous ap
propristions for rivers and harbors. Of
course this measure, in which thirty-five
SUtes are interested, would get through
Congress even it were ten timee as ab
surdly extravagant* The large percent
age of the improvements for which it
makes provision ere in no sense nation
al in character and will in no apprecia
ble degree enhance the navigable facili
ties tnd usefulness of the American
eoaat and inland waters. They are lo
cal ir. every sense and waateful in the
last degree. Against the purely local
alleged improvements two otyeotions of
course Iks, out in vain. They are unoon
•litutiooai in the first pleoe; in the so
cond place they are lawless raids upon
ilie public Treasury, which amount* to
robberies of tho taxpayer*; and the
House Committee on Commerce openly
avows the purpose of continuing these
excessive appropriations for internal im
provements, rather than the purpose o(
reducing taxation. The Republican fis
cal policy is, therefore to keep the tre
mendous surplus revenue in the Treas
ury to be expended as proposed in
this bill for tho promotion of private
schemes, individual jobs and the glorifi
cation of the Republican party.
The Treasury surplus is a fund to be
used by the dominaAt party to main
tain itself in power, a truth of which
the pending River and Harbor hill fur
nishes a pertinent and painful illustra
tion.
What the Republicans Mean.
Wellington VI
The Republicans in the House of Rep
resentatives are playing a deeper game
than is implied in the gaining of two or
three votes which do not materially im
prove their narrow majority. They are
still trying to retrieve their well-nigh
fatal blunder in giving the suffrage
wholesale to tho late slaves in the south,
in the idea that they could so secure a
permanent majority there for many
years. The invention returned to plague
them by merely giving increased repre
sentation to the south, which to their
consternation turned out to he steadily
Democratic, simply because that party
represents both freedom and good order
there. The present scandalous proceed
ings in the House are of a piece with
the Administration's dalliance with the
Repudiationists in Virginia and other
States, and before that, again, tirant's
characteristic efforts in the way of brute
force, by tho use of the military. It is
to serve notice on all the scalawags, ad
venturers, and discontented spirits in
the southern Deraocratie-Kiate.* that a
reactionary movement by them, intend
ed to overthrow the natural supremacy
of the intelligent, order loving, and pro
gressive classes and put the black voting
masses once more in the ascendancy, a
immediately after the war, will meet
with prompt and whole hearted a-is!
ance from the Radical Republican party
north, no matter how wild, desperate,
and lawless the movement be. Tin
majority in the House has virtually ad
vertised for all the disreputable schem
ers in the "black belt" to get up "con
tests'' for the seats of duly elected
Democratic Representative*, promising
by deeds, if not by words, to seat them
though every principle of I'arliamet)
tary law and tho Constitution Itself
must t overridden to do so. It i- nt
necessary to go further in discussing
and denouncing this factious and crimi
nal attempt. It sullices to point out to
its most violent promoters that it i
doomed to failure in the worst possible
way. The Republican voters in the
north are not all desperadoes, and in
fact the majorities of that party ar
gained by the votes of the Indepen
dents, who will not tolerate such dan
gerou* usurpations nor lollow where
their would be "Stalwart'' leaders wish
to take them hv the nose- Have the
Radicals forgotten what followed the
high-handed performances of liratit
when he tried to make himself militCTy
dictator of three States of tins t'nion?
Nothing less than the "tidal wave,''
~hich left the Republicans in a minority
in Congress, and brought them down to
a very small kind of larceny to secure
the I'residency of Hayes, instead of the
triumphant swoop they had planed.
In other words, while the
straining to recover some of the south
ern States which they regard a their
natural prey, the very violence of their
measures loses them their efficient sup
port in the north, and they are left
hanging between heaven and earth in
n* bad a plight as their man Mahone in
Virginia. Cunning may preserve for a
while the fruit* of defeated force, but it
still remains true that "Corruption win*
not more than honesty,'' and every
abuse of this kind is sure to be set right
by the people, when they get a chance
to speak upon it.

Das MOINES, JUNE 18.
A tornado swept through Central
lowa lute lnt night, from northwest to
southeast, for twenty miles north ol
Den Moines. The town of (Jritinell was
struck hy it ami hull of the town was
lett in ruins. The lateness of the hour
at which anything like authentic state
ments could he had last night from the
tornado at Grintiell and the consei|Ueiit
prostration Of the wires prevented any
report being sent out. The first start
ling reports of the loss of life were soon
confirmed and later and authentic re
ports swelled the list of dead at < iritinell
to about forty, with several severely
hurt and Cornell College buildings
ruined. Kight, at least, were also killed
at Malcolm Station and several living in
the farming district between. Freight
trains on the Hock Island Hold between
towns were caught in the wind arid
baoly wrecked, detaining trains west
three hours. A freight train on the
lnwa Central, just north of Grinnell,
was also badly derailed.
A TOWN IN RUINS.
The first authentic news of the terri
ble havoc was received by the llr/ntcr,
as follows :
Ki 1.1.000, June 17—llifiO P. M.—Both
college buildings at (irintiell were
blown down, withi half of the north part
of the town in ruins, and a large num
her of killed and injured. You can send
doctors on the passenger No. 'J, that
will be held to bring them on.
The following dispatch was received
from • iritinell early this morning:
< <ur city is half 111 ruins hy a cyclone.
From live to ten persons are killed and
from fifty to one hundred wounded.
Send doctors from Newton and In*

worse than lirst reported. Thirty two
people are dead and about 100 or more
were wounded.
Kight deaths are reported from Mai
colru, whicti is enterely leveled and de
stroyed. Brooklyn has also suffered
some. Some eight of the students are
badly injured, having been dug out of
die ruins. The Chspin House has been

injured. Not far away was the residence
ot Mr. I.ewia, an old gentleman and
lady, who were both killed. From
here the storm pursued a ~gzag direr
tion to the north of the city, when, af
ter wiping out the finest residence por
tion of the city, it moved toward the
college. The next building was dump
ed into a heap of lath and plaster and
broken timber, burying beneath it eight
students, who roomed therein all of
whom afterwards rescued more or
less injured. One subsequently died.
In two-story house a Miss Atbie Agard
was killed. There is hardly a sign left
of the house. In the vicinity was a
block which contained nine houses all
at once leveled. In one house of this
block four person* were killed—Mr
Ford and wife, a hired girl and Mr.
Totten. In this vicinity F. W. Williams'
house wa* unroofed. Prolesor Derrick's
and Mrs. Morris'houses were hunched
together. The scenes around the ruins
are heartrending. The engine house,
where seventeen of the dead bodies are

back army days. Some of the dead are
in the wrecks of their homes. The

The latest from Hrinnell is that the
surgeon* now repom that forty-one are j
dead and that five or six more cannot
live through the night. The number of
wounded exceeds one hundred and fif
ty and the number of bouses destroyed
is between one hundred and forty and
one hundred and fifty. The total loss
of property is now estimated at s<><lo,ooo.
it is feared that the number of deaths
at Hrinnell will reach seventy five.
News has been received that Mr. James,
wife and two daughters and two other
persons living four miles northwest ol
Hrinnell are dead. It is now thought
that the loss of life outside of Hrinnell
will reach twentv five and the total loss
nearly one hundred. %
In Kansas also, the storm was fright
fully severe,resulting in great damage to
property in Kansas City and I<eaven
wortb, and loss of life. The crops are
reported to be badly damaged.
IT is astonishing how many people
Brady found to embark with him in the
cheerful business of plundering the
United Mute* treasury. The indict
ment* of the Brady-1 >orsey gang have
twice passed the icrunity of the grand
jury and the trial ha been under way
for week*, but still the !i*t of case*
against Brady ia not exhausted. It
seems to make *ery little difference who
the parties may be that are charged
with fraud, or in what division of our
east postal system the peculations took
place, Brady is always there a* a partner
and accomnlioe, a coconspirator and
sharer of the plunder. On Saturday
last three new indictments were filed
on presentment by the jury, and Brady
was a party to them all. If it keep*
on in this way the ex-Assistant Post
master General will beat all the records
and be the most indicted man in the
history of a much plundered nation.
If he should happen to be corioted on
all these charge* the age of Methuselah
would not be sufficient to enable him to
terra out his term of imprisonment.

A San Francisco exchange says that
the wool clip of the current year p>romi
ses to be the largest over grown in the
country. Sbeep raisers have suffered
lo than the usual loss, owing to the
open winter, and the stock as a general
thing is in excellent condition and
likely to yield a larger percentage of de
sirable wool. The harkward spring has
delayed shearing, but has not injured
the clip.

aged thirty, and hia young wife were
employed in fhe steward's department
of Trinity College in this oity. Tbey

188! Hall ran away. Six months ago
he appeared in Uoiyokey Maao., where
ho was employe] to take care of the
premise* of K rich gentleman. Adjoin
ing these premise* wa* u young ladies'
high school, ati'i among the pupils wo*
one named Mamie Grover, the daughter
"I William tirorer, a well t „ ,| 0 , ni/.'-n,
superintendent of one of the large mill*
in Hoi yoke. It was noon noticed that
Mamie and Hall were often together.
Whenever she could leave the school
room and meet him she did so, and the
two frequently rode and walked to
getber. On learning of their clandes
tine meetings, Grover forbade hi*
daughter to have further intercourse
with Hall, hut to hi* command Mamie,
who up to thin time had been a dutiful,
gentle mannered child, gave no heed)
and continued to secretly meet her
lover on all possible occasion*. Khe be
came completely infatuated with the
fellow, notwithstanding their difference
of race, he being a mulatto, and was
happy only when in his presence.
Late on the night of May J.'Sth last,
she returned to her father'* house from
wh.it purported to have been a visit to
a neighbor. (In the ne*t day her father
made the discovery that la* daughter
and Hall had been married on that day
at -Springfield, Mae*., by a white clergy
man. Mamie was immediately locked
in her room and kept there. Hall
meanwhile left the town hurriedlv.
1-T<*ry effort wu ru 'i#j by Mr. Orov€?r to
procure a divorce for hi" daughter, but
Mamie would not consent to a separa
tion. Graver /ecently heard of Hall *
previous marriage, and at once sent de
tectives after the fellow with warrant*
to nrn-st him for bigamy. Hall arrived
in this city to-day from Meriden, and
was arrested, and upon declining to go
to Massachusetts without a requisition,
he was locked up to await the arrival of
the document. He stated this after
noon that he was ready to do anything
that might he required of him in the
way of divorcing himself from Mamie.
He professes to believe that his first wife
had obtained a legal separation from
him. Hal! i* fairly intelligent and
