Bry 513 FOURTRENTIL STREET, l Wasinxotey, D, C., July 2. ) A black eye was given tho M 3 comuisaion in the senate th is aftor ing the canuideration af the river and harbor bill. M Plumb, of Kansas, made a fierce attack upon the commission and moved to strike out the approprintion providing for its continuance, The 1 1 Com ttee of the whole declared it would do this on Satur day. It is probable that e aypropr for improvemenis for the Missouri along Nebraska and Iowa had more to do with suz gesting the abolition of the sommission than unything else. Senators Peddock and Alli son sprang w the front and defended the ftems in whicn lowa and Nebraska are inter , and their work proved very effective ator Plumb declared that the present systom of improvement under the Missouri river eommmission was ineffective, 8o far s the genezal dmprovoment of navigation was concerned. He said he would prefer that a lump sum of money be appropriated for all improvements of rivers and harbors, and that should ve placed at the disposition of the president, so that there would be no favor. itism excreised and the mouey would not be applied to the preservation of private property, as it has becn He sadd the enginsers who recommended the work and superintended it, are not educated to navigation and do not know what 1s needed.

The improvements proposed for Nebraska and Jowa were, he said, parts and parcels of the general plan of the commission. He had no interest whatever in the personnel of the commission —in point of fact one member of the commis sion is personully offensive to him, while an other he does not know, Mr. Paddock calied attention tothe fuct that the committee on the Misissippi river and its tributaries, of which he i8 chairman, is now and has been for some sime conducting an investigation into the plans aud work of the Missouri and Missis- sippi river commission and that the subject was being probed deeply and thoroughly, and that ¢ merit and demerit would be arrived at and shortly reported to the senate. He thonght the committee ought to be permitted to com- plete its investigations before either one of ke river commissions were condemned, He called attention to the enormous value of the Missouri and Mississippi, and said toat while he was not prepared to endorse ecither com- misgion he thought there should be more known of them before they were abolished He asked thut no action, such as was pro- posed, ba taken until the committee had com pleted its work, und then action be taken in a telligently Senator Allison’s remarks were in the sam direction. Senator Edmunds followed up the genera linc of attack made by Senator Plamb declured that the Unit ites did not own the great rivers; that they were the pro; of the people who were compelled to pay for the improvements, and that they should be allowed to navigate them freely. He W opposcd to taking money out of the treasury o protoct, property along navizated under color of assisting navi that it had been long o sl seople’s moncey, to proteet projects, improve nds and belp private interests under the se of improvivg navigation, while in point expenditure was made t senhance the value of *private property, Tho amendment proposing toubolish the Missour: river commission was defeated, and as the river aud harbor bill passed it continues the commission us heretofore and all of the pro visions for Nebr and lowa, Had it not been for Senator Paddock’s speech tie com mission would have been abolished.

BColonel Bain then began his gospel tem- perance sermon. It wasa logical and elo- quent appeal for total abstinence. Drunk- ards are made from moderate drinkers and never from total avstainers, Moderate drinking is safe for a few people, a curse to a great many, and a risk to everybody, while total abstinence is safe for everybody and a curse to nobody. In reply to the argu- ment that the Savior made wine, the lec turer said he would ot object to wine were it made out of only what the Sa- vior made it—cold water. The wine that the Bible blesses isuot the wine thatthe Bible cnrses. The Bible's definition of tem- perance is this: Moderation in regard to everything useful and right; total abstinence in regard to everything hurtful and wrong. Colonel Bain spoke of the danger of woder- ate drinking, referring to the fate of Edgar Allen Fee, John Howard Payne, George D.
