ONE of the immediate effects of fail
ure ofthe last Congress topass the Army
Appropriation bill will be the suspension
of work in the national armories and ar
senals. 1t will be absolutely necessary
to keep few men to take care of the
property, but the main body of the en-
ployes-some six hundred men-must
be discharged for lack of money to pay
them. The patriotic gentlemen who
controlled the House of Representatives
at its last session are still congratulate
ing themselves on their frugal manage
ment; but the gradual suspension of &C
tivity, which their economy and perver
seness have produced in different de-
partments of the Government, is not
pleasant to consider If any sudden
emergency should arise, and the Gov
eminent should be unable to meet it,
the House, which withheld the usual
and legal supplies. may very properly
be held responsible.

THE talk about internal improve
ments of one kind and another has in
duced "The Cincinnati Commercial to
make an interesting calculation. 1t
finds that all the Government appro-
priations for railroads, canals, &c from
1889 to 1875 amount to about $l04 900,
900, of which sum $4,000 900 was in
Pacific Railway subsidies "The Com
mercal adds "It results from these
figures that what the Government is
now asked to garentee for one single in
ternal improvement, the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad, demands as much almost
as has been expended in internal i'm
provements from 1889 to 1878, includ-
ing the enormous Paciicic Railroad
subsidies Of eighty-four millions. And
single one of the great canal improve
ment schemes now proposed in the South
will cost more than three times as much
as the Government laid out for every
canal, highway, and military road con-
structed or aided by the United States
from the beginning until now"

Mr.. RANDALL, ex-Speaker of the
House in the Forty-fourth, and would
be Speaker fohthe Forty-fifth Congress
has just been making bid for Southern
popularity. He has written letter to
some Galveston correspondents, with
great many glowing and complimentary
words and numerous figures in it, in
tended to aatter the feelings and raise
the hopes of the "Texian." He tells
them that the foreign trade of the
American Continent south of the United
States is 100000, 900, and that we get
only $ll2,OO0,0OO of this amount, and
he declares that, in his opinion, the time
has come when the policy of the Gov
eminent should be to enlarge our trade
relations with Mexico and with the
Central and South American States.
He adds that "when the extended poli-
cy to which have referred is inaugur-
ated, as it must and will be, then will
your city, your State, and entire coast
Of the Gulf receive the advantages
which nature has bespoken for them"
But Mr.. RANDALL fails to say what
measures the policy he advocates calls
for. Is he preparing to hold the South
ern vote by liberal subsidies for South
American steamship lines? His letter
is suggestive.
