NOW FOR THE SENATE.

House Appropriations Have Been More
Economical This Year Than Last.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations
is taking up the appropriation bills very
promptly upon their receipt, with the purpose
OF having them acted upon as soon as posi-
Bile in the Senate to the end that the adjourn
ment of Congress can be accomplished when
the tariff bill shall be disposed Of.
The Notifications bill was the first of the
appropriation measures to be received from
the House, and it has already been reported
to the Senate. Subcommittee of the full
Senate committee are now considering the
pension and District of Columbia appropria-
tion bills, and as soon as these are out OF the
way will take up the sundry civil bill. which
has Just been received.
There is probably more popular interest in
the sundrv civil bill than in any other of the
appropriation bills, as it effects a larger
variety OF interests, and it is more likely to be
amended in important particulars than any
other. The bill, as it passed the House, shows
reduction from last years appropriations OF
almost SO, SOC, 900 and ii is not probable that
the Senate will increase it SO as to bring
the figures up TO those OF last year.
TIE principal item of decrease in the bill
this year is in the appropriation for rivers
and harbors. amounting. as it does. to 1885,
153. The House gave this year for this pur-
pose Ss,300.000.

abolish All PrOhibi-
tive Liquor Laws. -

The creation of crimes by means OF statutes
providing for their punishment, says Apple
ton Morgan in the Popular Science Monthly
for March, has generally proved itself bad
policy. The absolute, unqualified. and dis
tinguished failure OF all laws for the abolish
ment Of the traffic in liquors is speedily con-
vincing the most sanguine prohibitionist of
the expediency of wiping them from every
statute-book in the land They have had
their origins always and without exception in
sparsely-settlei communities, where personal
liberty was so absolute and unquestioned that
it became irksome, where liquor was almost
unknown and the user of it curiosity. and
where the only horrors of intoxication the
village possessed was derived from itinerant
temperance orators, who dilated upon the
terrible consequences of the rum habit to a
roomful OF fearful old women, noLe of whom
knew the taste of liquor or of anything
stronger than green tea.
Liquor is legitimately and logically sub
ject of excise, and excise laws, which NAV
operate in rem-that is, against the thing
itself-are proper and constitutional. But it
would puzzle writers upon constitutional law
to find an origin for laws prohibiting the
manufacture or purchase or sale OF an article
of commerce, though laws regulating all three
are neither unconstitutional nor improper.
Drunkenness is a crime in itself and the fruit
full mother of other crimes. Let the criminal
law, then, attend to the case of the drunkard
and Of the rumseller who will knowingly make
his feeble or hereditarily weak fellow-man a
drunkard. But piohibitory liquor laws have
still another and Interior effect, to wit: they
beget an exaggerated oratory and an appetite
for sweeping statements which, by the culti-
walton Of false statistics, becomes absolute dis
honesty, and so burden upon and a reproach
to public morals.
But everybody knows that drunkenness ID

4 4,000- Mile Railroad.

People who have considered the proposed
railway from the United States through Mex

limits Of the continent mere idle fancy, says
the Portland Argus, will find cause to revise
their idea on seeing the report Of the chief
engineer, Mr.. Skunk, to the commission. The
survey appears to have been made all the way
to Buenos Ayres and to be found feasible.
will be traversed at great attitudes for railway
travel, the survey including sections that rise
to heights of 1000 and $4,000 feet above sea
level. Such elevated rapid transit ought to
afford much striking scenery, as well as de-
cidedly cool weather for travellers. irrespective
OF the season. The survey makes the length
of the proposed line 1900 miles from the Mex
lean starting place to Buenos Ayres, and the
cost OF the completed road is put at S50.000
per mile, including some formidable grading
and bridging, or about $500 ,0O0, 900 in all, for
which the funds are TO be paid proportionately
by the countries interested.
The beginning of the line will be at a point
in Mexico which will make the new line con-
tinuous with the existing system in that
country and the United States. Thus the
completion Of the road will enable a passen-
ger ~ pO Dy fdu All the way lfOlu tdudud dl-
most to the very borders of the vast and bare
South American region known as Patagonia.
1t will be good while yet before the pro-
posed road is constructed as far as Buenos
Ayres. And il will be great deal longer be-
fore a railroad is built through Patagonia.
But Buenos Ayres "a large city now is itself
located almost down 10 south latitude So de-

Everybody conversant with the history of
the siege OF Paris by the Germans will re-
member that the inhabitants of the be-
leaguered city were fed for a time on the flesh
Of African and Asiatic beasts and birds of
Frey from the geological gardens. There has
lately been discovered = packet OF letters
which throw an interesting light on this mat
ter. These documents refer 10 the prices
which were asked for the animals required
for the nourishment OF starving Parisians.
Zebras. .buGa,oes. reindeer, antelope, wild boars
u kangaroo. Il cassowary, and a black swan
were kiled during the month of October.
1870, together with several rare ducks. pheas-
ants. and geese. The cassowary was sold for
Is and the kangaroo for half that sum. In
November an antelope fetched so. and prices
began 10 ascend rapidly all round. Thus a
bear cost the butcher Deboos eco. and sSS
was given for wild boar. During the Christ
mas period two camels from the garden were
sold at 600. On December SO NJ. Deboos
took over the two elephants. which were the
ver:table pieces de resistance of his food sup
ply They cost him q, 900 francs, or f1 ,0S0.
He soon sawed up their colossal carcasses and
sold the pieces at profit.
