THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Productivity to be Avoided in Providing
for Government Needs.

The preparation of the general appropriation
bills should be conducted with the greatest care
and the closest scrutiny of expenditures APP
priatons should be adequate to the needs OF the
public service, but they should be absolutely
free from prodigality.
venture again to remind you that the brief
time remaining for the consideration OF the i'm
portant legislation now awaiting your attention
offers no margin for waste, If the present duty
is disc charged with diligence, fidelity and cour-
age, the work of the Fifty first Congress may be
confidently submitted to the considerate judg
ment of the people. BENJAMIN HARRISON

A Foolish Thing 10 DO,

In undertaking to fix sum which
shall be paid per car by the street car
companies for the privilege they obtain
from the city, we have said that in our
Judgment the councils will act very inn
providently and exceed their proper
powers. The sum they fix now may be
u very adequate one but IL SO it will
certainly be very inadequate many
years from now. They are undertaking
to name now tax which shall be paid
for all time upon each street railway
car /; and he who does not think that is
silly thing TO do has very different
comprehension of business conduct from
ours. Each citizens tax is annually
fixed. The councils of this year do
not and cannot lay the tax for next
year. So we believe that the coun-
ellis that assume to fix now the tax
upon street cars and poles for all future
time will find that they have exceeded
their authority and that their work
will moi be binding upon the councils of
the future. But this only makes the
essay more foolish. To attempt to do an
unwise thing, ard to afterwards find
the attempt abortive, does not relieve its
authors from opprobrium. Ifthe councils
of to-day desire to favor the establish
ment of electric street ear propulsion,
weshould not complain if they remitted
the car and pole tax altogether during
their term of Office what we do object
to is their undertaking to sell at the
price of to-day a privilege which is to
be enjoyed during long future.

NOT A JOKE FOR THE BRIDE.
A Nebraska Girl Blindly Coos Through
IA Marriage Ceremony,

This place is enjoying an unique sensa-
tion, says dispatch from Schuyler, Neb.
County Judge Thomas was called TO the
residence of Mr.. Poole, whose daughter
Nellie was TO marry Mr.. Patterson, one
day last week. When he reached the
house George Pool, a brother of the
brde-elect, told the Judge privately
that Miss Belle Worth and himself were
to be welded afler the marriage of his
sister and Mr.. Patterson, and he suggested
that they perpetrate a little practical Joke
on the guests by reversing the order of the
ceremonies. The guests, in the meantime,
who had been told that George and Miss
Worth were To act as best man and brides
maid respectively for the other couple,
were greatly surprised when they came
out as the star actors in the matrimonial
drama. The other marriage ceremony
quickly followed, and then came the sensa-
tion.
Miss Worth, upon being told that she
was now the lawful wife Of Mr.. Poole, de-
clared Indignantly that she had gone
through the performance with Judge
Thomas on the suppostion that this was
necessary to the proper performance of
her duties as bridesmaid, and that she
would never be the wife of George Poole.
Miss Worth is very handsome. She still
remains under the parental roof and her
father, who Is very indignant over the
affair, says he will take steps TO have the
marriage annulled. Poole has been going
with Miss Worth two or three years.

A Great Resolution,

1t is reported from the capital of the
United States that President BENJAMIN
Harrison has declared that Mrs. Mckee
should hold the head Of the line at
receptions ''if 1t busted the cabinet"
The correspondent adds that in his
earnestness the president actually used
the word busted" This is more
important item than may at first
appear. A president of the United
States with sufficient backbone to
mangle the English language and
defy cabinet led by brilliant and
magnetic Premier Blaine and sanctiiied
by John Wanamaker must he a presi-
dent with distinct impression that he
Is one. Captious critics might suggest
that this remark, 50 gleefuily telegraphed
over the nation, was merely a manifes-
tation of momentary intellectual intoxi-
cation, produced on the first day Of the
year by the taking Of good resolutions.
However plausible this theory may seem
II Is more reasonable and charitable to
assume that Benjamin Harrison has
thus deliberately announced, in language
chosen for rugged and picturesque en-
ergy, that he Is determined to he presi-
dent, and has begun on the solid car
dinal principle of subjugating the
subjugators Of his domineering cabinet
one can almost see with the minds eve
how this great utterance was evolved

The Origin of Fire.

From the St. Louis Republic.
The RepUe ScjeRtlfgHe prints n curious
paper by Professor Joby, in which he
inquiries by whom and when fire was first
discovered, Abiding TO the fable of
Prometheus, he finds ii OF Indian origin.
In the Nedas, the god of fire, AgIu (com-
pare with the Latin, I9nis) is concealed
In secret place whence the god
Metarishyan forces him out, aud
makes him communicate the celestial
fire To Manou, the first man. The very
name of Prometheus is traceable 10 the
Nedas and calls To mind the process em-
ployed by the ancient Brahmins to obtain
the sacred fire. For this purpose they
used a stick, called "A pramatha, which they
ignitcd by friction. The prefix pra gives
the idea of taking by force, a circumstance
which strengthens the evidence offered by
the resemblance of that word to Prone
theus. There arc several ways of obtain
ing fire by friction. The most primitive
one consists In rubbing two pieces of dry
wood against each other, but this was i'm
proved in course of time. Next stick
was made TO slide very fast up and down
in groove; then came the I" fire drill"
consisting in piece OF wood having a
cavity in which stick was inserted which
was pressed by the operator, who at the
same time made IL turn very fast, after the
fashion Of wimble. The Brahmins used
this drill, but with a cord rolled around 1t,
by pulling which they gave an alternate,
rotary motion to the stick. Another mode
Of obtaining fire was that of striking two
hints together, etc.

How to Ride on the Rail.

From the scranton Truth.
To people who do not care to read, and
are not interested in a conversation in "A
long ride in the ears there may be satisiac-
tion in knowing that "wayside cribbage"
is a new game that most anyone may enjoy
ON the rapid ride 10 anywhere. For in
stance in a two-handed game one pas
senger takes one side of the ear,
and another the opposite and both
keep a sharp lookout for objects that are
specified in tho game. A horse counts one,
a COW two, dog live and cat ten, but
any sort of schedule can be arranged by
the parties interested in the game. The
usual points are fitty to decide the game,
and ice cream, soda water or oysters at the
end of the ride charged To the passenger
who had the fewer objects to his record
This diversion has more in IL than simple
amusement. Ii impels one toa closer Oh
servation of things generally overlooked,
and after few attempts at the game in
spires one with sense of enjoyment that
rapid progress, even through a well-known
section of country, has never aroused.
Most all passengers on railway train get
aboard with the simple purpose of getting"
somewhere. They look out Of the window
with eyes wide open and consciousness
closed.

the Harrisonian hat. BY the way, IL is
a curious fact that the mind Is credited
with but one eye in spite of the evident
cross-cyed mental vision of some people.
As minds eye" could not well be
crosseyed with, itself II is evident
that this ancient figure of speech
needs revision. But 1t Is not
hard meanwhile to imagine that Benja-
min Harrison awoke on New Years
morning to reflect that the sun had
arisen upon the first day of the last de-
cade of the worlds most active century
TO find one Benjamin, of the tribe Of
Harrison, ruler over the newest
and biggest thing in the way OF
nations. Then must have followed,
like the choking dregs Of n pleasant
draught, the bitter reflection that said
BENJAMIN was but the creature OF cir
cumstance, aided and abetted 10y one
Quay and many dollars. Then, no
doubt, he sprang from his couch, wear
ing the famous hat OF his grand
father, which is firmly nailed
fast TO his head, and exclaimed to him
himself and 10 Baby Mckee " would
rather be president than he right, and
as I now seem To he neither, do re-
solve TO be both !" Tho course OF Prcsi-
dent Harrison should now be closely
watched and his every word carefully
pondered, for great things may per.
chance result from n New Years day
resolve, even IL there be no great man
back of them.

Ir is ALWAYS well to hear both sides of
the question. and there can DO little doubt
that Americans have heard far more of tho
liberal and Irish side of the Irish situation
than they have of the Conservative and
Tory part of the argument. Tory mem
Der of Parliament and large land holder
from North Ireland county has an inter
view in the New York star in which he
indicates n possible development of the
present troubles to others even greater
GAS soon as the tenants are satisfied at the
ex pense of the landlords, the agitators will
begin TO put in their fine work with tho
laborers and soon the cry will go up that
the tenant is not the actual tiller of the soil
The political agitator has here "A grand,
untitled field, and he will have no hesta~
ton in working il for all ii is worth. In
stead of times improving, | am afraid that
things will only go from bad to worse in
Ireland. and the outlook to mo is very
dismal" He admits that an election now
would return the radicals TO power, but
thinks that Parliament will not be dissolved
before it iuns its seven years, so that the
next election would be in 1893. The great
strikes fill him with alarm and altogether
this NJ, 4. is mighty pessimistic. When
political struggles are hot and bitt9r the
men on the losing side are usually con-
vipced that the country is going To de-
struction,

How a washington Physician settled
Accounts with Joker.

How washington Physiclan settled
Accounts with . Joker.
From the Washington Post
IT, prominent physician over in the
northwest hasn't aot even with one practi-
cal joker then II doesn't lie in the telling.
The physician lives In very modern es-
tabliehment. Not only IL there n special
night bell, but speaking tube connects
the doorsteps with the head of his bed.
The practical joker has had fun with this,
He has been coming along about 1:3O a. IN.
and standing on the opposite corner and
laughing until his sides ached thinking
how funny he was and what good time he
was having. Then he would cross over
and ring the night bell and howl up the
speaking tube as IL q whole regiment of
n,others-in- law on the next block had ten
minute cholera and were dying by the
wagon load. And the poor, tired doctor
would rouse out OF his first sweet sleep
and hello" down the tube. Then the
funny man would say:
Does DR.. J. live hereg"
"Iiave you lived hero long,"
"For twenty years. Who are you? What
the blazes do you want ?"
Jest want 70 know why you don't move.
That's all. Tai tat
And then the funny man bounces down
into the street aud scoots home, where he
laughs for half an hour straight.
He didn't laugh half so much the other
night. The doctor was loaded for him. He
knew that laugh and that yell, and he
stuck funnel In the tube and poured in
two quarts of aqua fortis. Static DIS indeli-
BILE ink, liquid lye. and few chemical
whiffs of torment. 1t gurgled and gurgled
for one second then struck Dofunny in the
mug just as he opened his mouth for an
other howl. 1t came with thirty foot fall
and ten pound pressure to the square
inch. He swallowed pint before he could
get his mouth shut, and the impromptu
hat and shirt front, and dress suit. 1t was
a roof-raiser, and curled him like cock
roach on hot shovel.
IL will cost the doctor $40 for plumbing,
but he grins every time he thinks of IL.

Is these winter days of feasting, when
the raw oysters so prominent leader OF
bills of fare, and is cooked In so many ways
and eaten in vast quantities. II is interesting
to note some of the steps taken TO prevent
his total determination. National and state
commissions have secured tho passage of
laws governing oyster planting, and the
famous oyster pirates of the Chesapeake
were rebels against laws of this kind that
were too far reaching in their effect to be APP
preciated by the eyster dredgers.
The New York commission has just
finished careful survey Of the oyster ter
ritory. cit is marked out into squares and
located as thoroughly and scientifically as q
corner lot on Broadway. An oyster planter
by this arrangement can engage certain
number of these submarine farms, and be
enabled to plant and work, investing any
amount of money he pleases. without run
ming the risk of being robbed and having
his work all undone."I 1t has been discovered
that oysters can be made to thrive as well
in deep as in shallow water, and IL Is hoped
that the supply OF bivalves may be greatly
increased by tho scientific cultivation OF
deep water oyster farms.
