FRTDAY. MARCH 9.

The House went into Committee of the Whole
on the Notifications and appropriations bill
The total sum carried by the bill was 81 2I9 654
upon an estimate OF S7,438,4l3. This was passed
after the appropriation for carriages for field
gun batteries was reduced from SCI, 900 to
$4,000. and that for carriages for breechload-
ing riied mortars of I2-inch calibre was in
creased from $4,000 to SIS 600.
The House went back into Committee Of the
Whole for the consideration Of the pension
appropriation bill.
Mr.. ONeil Mass, d., in charge of the meas
ure, explained its provisions. The bill carried
for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1885, STA
e59,3J0 less than the bill last year. The orig
inal estimate for the coming fiscal year for
pensions was $l60,000000, but it had been re-
Vised and cut down later by Commissioner Loeb
rem to $l50,0O0.000. Mr. O'Neil argued that
while the appropriations for pensions might
wayer for few years, the maximum of pensions
appropriations had been passed. and hereafter
there would he material reduction in the
amount needed for pensions. There were on the
rolls in 1893 9G6, 0l2 pensioners. The annual in-
crease had been steadily declining.
The FIRST year, 1891, after the passage OF the
act of June q. 1880, lbs, 600 names were added
10 the roll; the next year, 1892 there was an
increase Of 10000, and almost 100000 names
were added the next year. 1893 the number
fell off remarkably. and only 10000 we're added,
falling of Of 10000 in the dumber of addi-
tions TO the roll in single year, and the report
for the last six months showed that the mum Der
added TO the roll would not greatly exceed the
number dropped on account of death and other
causes, so that he appropriation named in the
bill is ample for the needs of the Department,
eDd there would be no deficiency.
But an examination Of the Commissioner
report" said Mr.. ONeil, might create some
misgivings as to the correctness of this esti-
mate when it appears that there we're pending

" The school board has. as Is well known, recently secured plans and spec iflcations for a handsome school build- ing. Contracts have been let, and
 work will be commenced CD the new structure before the middle of next
 week. The meeting Monday after
 noon will bring out many interesting facts which all are anxious to know and 1t Is the duty of every citizen who feels any interest in the prosperity of this section, to go prepared to encourage the board ill the laudable undertaking
 which they have in hand. Go determ-
 ined to be in harmony with those who are endeavOring to give us tirst-class school facilities. Let us become uni fed first upon the fact that we must have the school building and then de- termine to render every assistance within our power to aid and encourage
 the board, who are our public servants.
 to erect the building, giving them
 credit for good judgment. and being
 willing to place our school interests in their hands. We have elected the
 school board solely for the purpose of guarding and guiding the school in- terests and affairs of this district. THE
 TIMES believes the board will do the
 best they can under all the circum-
 stances and If every patriot in the dis
 trict will applaud and encourage them
 in their work as they deserve, we feel
 no hesitancy in saying that before an other twelve months are numbered among the past Forrest City will have the best school facilities of any town of it's size in the state. It is proposed
 to have thorougly graded school. and
 none but frst-class instructors.
 We can have these If we will deter mine to pull together.
 Let us do this and hope that our population shall be trebled within two or three years.
