What it Costs Uncle Sam to Keep House

The appropriations voted by the Second Ses-
sion of the XXXIXth Congress to pay for
the current expenses of the Government du
ring the coming year and to supply the def
ciencies of the last fiscal PERIOD amount to the
pretty little sum of $l44, 793,037 81. The Ar
my takes $23, ,S3l ,654 the Navy, SIG, 794, 244
Mr.. Seward receives two allowances Of $30,O0O
each for his Atlantic Gable bills !; and the Post
master General gets $4,000 worth of twine.
The Military Academy at West Point is very
literally provided for, at an expense of $263,-
9l3, of which that cminently useless body, the
Board of Visitors consumes $4,000, and anoth-
er $4,000 is applied to an enlargement of the
cadets laundry, which we should think ought
to be big enough now to keep that dapper lit
tie company of soldiers as clean as a row OF
pins. The printing Of our Government money
costs $2O0, 900; the management of loans and
notes cannot be effected for less than $2,00O,-
600; and for the detection of counterfeiters we
have bill of $l500O0. Our expensive old
friend, Pub. Doc. dances in it to the tune Of
81, l69 1913, which surely ought to make Con-
gress ashamed of itself. Next to the salary OF
Mr.. johnson, the charge under which it strikes
us that we get the poorest equivalent for our
money is that of 1914, ,695 for the Department
of Agriculture. The purchase and distribution
of seeds which nobody wants costs $4,000,
and the Botanical Garden, where Mr.. Commits
sioner Newton raises hot-house flowers for
Members of Congress- is supported at an out
lay of $l0,675. Ten thousand dollars for bou-
quets But after all that is not worse than
the Legislative" appropriation of $40, ,230 for
horses and carriages little bit of luxury in
which we mistakenly supposed the Common
Council of New York were unrivaled.
The most bewildering thing of all is the list
of appropriations for keeping our public ofh-
ces warm. Here, for example, we have 3d.
600 for heating the Supreme Court Room
So, 900 for heating the cadets mess-room at
West Point; $40, 900 for heating and ventila-
ting their barracks $4,000 worth of heating
apparatus for the public buildings; $1,000
worth of ditto for the library of Congress; S..
600 worth of fuel for the White House; $l5,'
600 worth of fuel and lights for Congress; $500
for heating the Capitol; $4,000 for fuel again
at the White House and Capitol. How
in the world it is possible in single Winter t
consume such enormous quantities of coal, ii
problem quite beyond our comprehension. =
There is an item of $55, ,0O5 for lighting the
Capitol and White House, besides which tht
illumination of the Rotunda by electricity in
wolves an annual expense Of $4,000, and thu
Government has to pay an electrician 81 200 ;
year to attend to it.-N. Y. Tribune.

Religious Exercises In Congress.

The Tribune has the following paragraph,
which we indorse as word spoken in season
Congress may not be in session over anoth-
er Sunday, but it is prompt to choose its Chap
lam. We do not believe in legislative nor po-
litical chaplains. All the good Congress will
get by having special man to pray for them,
we presume, is not much. Let them call upon
the occupants of the Washington pulpits, who
will not, we venture to say, refuse to perform
in turn the missionary work of Capitol Hill for
a very moderate stipend. There is another re-
form we beg to suggest. That is the dispens-
ing with public funerals of private members.
1t Is custom more hOnOred in the breach than
in the observance. The interjectiOn of funeral
oratlOns into the very heart Of Congressional
proceedings, as is often done by our wholly
unique custom of treating this subject is some
times quite too grotesque to beft so solemn an
event.
Religion, like everything else in Washing
ton, is shamelessly prostituted to the necessi-
ties and conveniences OF partisan politics. =
Chaplalns are elected just as door-keepers and
tde-walters are appointed, on account Of their
political opinions, and they are expected to
pray and preach in the service and for the pro-
fit of the party that elects them. Party zeal
is often quite an apparent in the opening pray
er of the Congressional Chaplain as in the
ward harangue of the Treasury Clerk. The
Chaplain is expected to pray for his party
friends and at his party foes The irreverence
of some of these so-called prayers often borders
on blasphemy. Last Winter one of these etfu-
sions began, "Oh Lord, Thou hath ruled this
world for six thousand years, and, as aoe be-
liere, Thou hath ruled it WE'LL" People may
fancy this is either thanksgiving or prayer; it
is really little better than blasphemy and not a
whit less offensive. 1t was a condescending
Endorsement on behalf of Congress, of the Al
mighty's official conduct.
Eulogies of deceased members have become
equally unmeaning and offensive. They COM
mand neither respect nor attention, and shock
all genuine sentiment as much as they outrage
propriety and good taste. The custom ha.
come to be initiated by Common Councils anG
FIRE companies and it is just as sensible ant
proper in either as it is in Congress. 1t is due
to the determination of everybody to be just a
great as anybody else if Clay and Webster
are to be eulogized in Congress when they die
Hon. Ezekiel Muggins thinks that, before alsC
member of Congress, he has an equal righ
to be eulogized also The habits utterly de
stroy the valor of all eulogies, and is a serious
encroachment on the public time, as well as
violation of public taste.-N Y Times.

POET r Y .
/" TOO LATE. "

"Too late for love, too late for joy,
Too late too late
You trlf1ed on the road too long,
You tarried at the gate;
The enchanted dove upon her branch
Died without mate;
The enchanted princess in her tower
Slept, died behind the CRATE;
Her heart was starving all this while
You made it wait.
Ten years ago, FIVE years ago,
One year ago,
Even then you had arrived in time,
Though somewhat slow;
Then you had known her living face,
Which now you cannot know;
The frozen fountain would have leaped,
The buds gone on to blow,
The warm south wind would have awaked
To melt the snow.
ave never heard her speak in haste;
Her tones were sweet,
And modulated just so much
AS 1t was meet;
Her heart sat silent through the noise
And concourse of the street.
There was no hurry in her hands,
No hurry in her feet;
There was no bliss drew nigh to her,
That she might run to greet.
"You should have wept her yesterday,
Wasting upon her bed;
But wherefore should you weep to-day
That she is dead
Lo. we who love weep not to-day,
But crown her royal head.
Let be these popDies that we strew
Your roses are too red;
LIE: be these poppies, not for you
Cut down and spread"

WOODEN NUTMEGs. State of Conneo-
ticut, whether justly or not we cannot say, is
generally regarded as the chief land of hum
bug in the New England States. A cores
pondent of Pittsburg paper writes, that whilst
travelling through Connecticut recently, at one
of the depots he saw man who was bundling
up brooms for market. Tying them in punches
OF half dozen, he stripped off the seeds on the
outside with a currycomb and then with pair
of sheep-shears squared the end of the bundle,
thus, making it altogether lovely on the out
side, while within it was full of broom corn
seed. He said he was inclined to cry out sar-
castieally, "Wooden nutmegs!" but the car
window was stuck fast, and his honest indig-
nation was suppressed.
