No APPROPRIATION for work on League
Island is contained in the naval appropria-
tion bill, and it seems that the only chance of
having money devoted to that purpose, at the
present session of Congress, is to have a
clause inserted in the miscellaneous appro-
priation bill. 1t is astonishing how uni
formly Congress draws the purse-strings
tightly when any appropriation which would
benefit Philadelphia comes up for considera-
ton. The standard maxim seems to be,
Millions for New England, New York, or the
West, but not a penny for the metropolis of
Pennsylv ania.

ABoTHEB PENSION LAW was under con al de
ration in the Senate yesterday. Som ething
more is to be done for all soldiers of the war
of 1912 who served their country for the
protracted term of fourteen days, aud also
for the widows of these veterans. 1t was
estimated that this bill would take S., 900, 900
annually from the Treasury; and, from the
nature of the proposed pension claims, there
can be little doubt that large portion of
this money will go into the pockets of the
pension agents. Congress seems disposed to
run the pension business in the ground The
home guards and State militia who served
thirty days in the late war are not generally
considered as particularly deserving objects
of annual pensions, aud we can scarcely see
that justice demands, in the present state of
the national finances, that men who sixty
years ago gave two weeks time to their coun-
try should now be made recipients of liberal
pensions. Before taxpayers display too
much gratitude for this new imposition, they
should be careful to inquire how much of it
is intended for the benefit of greedy agents
and how much for the fourteen-day veterans.

drazo, one OF the Vice Presidents of the Con =
stsuent C0rtes, is made Minister of Public
Works, place for which he is especially suited
10y his practical acquaintance with its require
ments. MalcamDo is given the Ministry of
Ultramar, where his knowledge of the misera-
bie administration of the Colonies ought to
be OF some service to him, if it is possible for
n Spaniard TO learn anything on this subject.
Sagasta, the general utility man of the Pro-
gresista party, returns to the Ministry of For
cign Affairs, for which We offer to the Diplo-
matte Body of Madrid our expressions of SYM
pathy. He is one Of the ablest aud most cx-
asperatlng of the sld MaChiayellian school of
Spanish politicians.
The Cabinet. for Spain, is u good one, but
no man in Madrid, or out of it, can give any
assurance as to its duration. There is a dan
gerous parallel between this and the Bravo
Ministry of 1868, where the President of the
Council, like Mr.. ZorrIla to-day, took the
Department of the Interior and gave the army
into the hands of an old soldier, out of whose
nerveless grasp it slipped away into rebellion. 1t
will require the most earnest and united support
Of the adherents of the Government to enable
this Ministry to weather the present crisis. In
the great debate of the 93d of June, CASTELAR,
said in behalf of the Republicans that, while
they would oppose with all their force Coali-
ton Ministry, they would regard Radical
one with an attitude of expectancy and
good will. 1t is not likely that the inhex-
ible patriots of the extreme Left will
consider themselves bound to observe any
terms with a homogeneous Cabinet of Pro-
grcsistas; but Mr.. Zorrilla and biz associates
are certainly entitled to, and will probably
receive, more confidence and kindness from
the Democrats and Republicans than any
combination which the veteran inrisuers OF
the Liberal Union could have framed.

POOR RULE THAT FONT FORK BOTH WAYS.
The Times says: "We once in the usual
"course of business published advertisements
"for the City, for which the ordinary and proper
crates were charged, and for which therefore
eve were entitled to be paid, as much as any
"of our wOrkmen are entitled to be paid for
"the labor they perform for us. We compelled
"the authorities to pay our bill, as all business
"men would have done in our place" And The
Times argues that it is unreasonable to draw
any inferences to its disadvantage from the
fact that its present severe attack upon the
Mayor and Controller was not made until it
had ceased in the usual course of business TO
publish those advertisements. After this,
"therefore because of this is not, in its opin-
ion, good logic or fair Judgment.
But in the same article, referring to other
papers situated now precisely as it was at the
time to which it applies this reasoning, (if
not indeed far more Independently, The
Times, with ludicrOus because unconscious
as well as stupid inconsistency, continues
"The corporation has every daily paper in this
"city in its pay except The Times, and almost
"every weekly paper except Harper's WeekIy"
Now if publishing the corporation advertise
ments "in the usual course of business" and
at the ordinary and proper rates." is being
in the pay of the corporation, then The Times
was subsidized until recently, and only began
its Jealous efforts for municipal honesty and
economy when the subsidy was stopped. 1t
makes this charge by implication against it
self; we do not make it.

Tho Rev. Mr. Ash the Chaplain of the British Le-
CATION at Buenos Ayres, has published a pamphlet
respecting the late pestilence there from which it
appears that out of population of 10000 about two
thirds fled and about 10000 perished, the mortality
ranging from 400 to 800 per diemmOre than per cent
of the inhabitants. The city is said to have been
reeking with filth, "steaming like dung-hill when
ever a hot sun came after a rain-fallP The River
Plate was poisoned that the fish died in it, yet
this water was what the inhabitants had to drink.
There were no drainage facilities, and what wells
there were in the city utterly unfit for use On
the 10th of April there so inteIments. On the
10th the pestence began visibly to decline; but it
will require years to repair the ravages of the ep

THE ZORRTLLA CABINET.

1t remains to be seen what support the new
Cabinet presented by SenOr Ruiz Zerrilla will
receive at the hands of the Cortes and from
the country at large, but there can be no
question as to its great superiority to the one
proposed by SerranO, and considered at length
in these columns. In the list of names brought
forward by the Duke de la Tore, their
personal insignificance was equaled by
their unpOpularity in politics, while
the Ministry selected by Zorrilla to serve
under his presidency is composed of men not
only distinguished in recent history, but also
we'll known representatives of the Progresista
party, which has been, since the death of Prim,
excluded from the influence which rightfully
belonged to it in the councils of the Govern
ment it did so much to call into being. The
Cabinet would have been greatly improved by a
more marked infusion Of the Democratic element.
The retention of Mr.. Martos as Minister of
State would have afforded more encourage
ment to the sincere and earnest Liberals of
Spain than the substitution of Sagasta in his
place. But it has seemed best to Mr.. Ruiz
Zorrilla to avoid the numberless annOyances
and vexatiOns that attend in Spain the fOrma-
ton of a Cabinet of Coalition, by bringing to-
getler a homogeneous Ministry of Pro-
gresstas.
As in the ill-starred Government of Con
zales Bravo, the position of President of the
Council is dissociated from that of Minister
OF War. The new War Secretary, Gen. de
Cordova, is one of the most universally re-
spected officers of the army. He Is now III his
10Th year, though still robust aud active. He
was long ago designated for the successor of
CaballerO in the Government of Cuba, but the
fear of the Volunteers has thus far
prevented his appointment. He acted
as the second of Montpensier in his
duel with Prince Henry of Bourbon.
Montero Rios retains the Department of JUS
tice which he managed with such liberaty
and success last year. Senor Gomez has yet
to win his spurs in the difficult and almost
impossible work OF finance. Beranger goes

glined the good opinion of the country by his
oaict and efficient administration. Senor Ma

Gen. Butler is already promising candi-
date for Governor of Massachusetts,. AT a
somewhat slender meeting of Temperance
Alliance in Boston, yesterday, delegate effu-
sively announced that Gen. Butler had prom
ised, if he should be nominated and elected
and if Boston should cast its vote against
him, to make that city as hot for rumsellers
as he made New-Orleans for Rebels. With
this threat ringing in their ears, the Alliance
was ready then and there to nominate the
gallant general; but, upon sober second

uromise should he reduced to writing.

reasons given for this step are not humani-

the introduction of what he considers a dis

Another fatal railway accident has occurred
in the Southwest. A long grain-laden train,
going south, ran into a gravel train, on the
Toledo and Wabash Railroad, near st. Louis.
