A Few Pertinent Questions.

N II CIV EhCosiOhos
7 Why should the corpor alton carts
haul off the dirt made by gas filters
and plumbers in repairing pipes?
Why should the same thing be done
when the electric railway plants poles
and throws the dirt in the street?
Why can't the police see ashes and
other refuse when thrown in the streets
contrary to law?
Why doesn't the Superintendent of
Police make an effort to clean the
streets and patch the holes in roadways
and sidewalks?
Why doesn't some one compel the
electric railway to complete the re-
pairs on upper King street? That
street has been torn up for three or
four months.
Why doesn't the Mayor enforce the
provisions Of the ordinance which re-
quires the electric railway to pave
Royal street, between the rails and
two feet on either side, from King to
Wilkes, and protect the track with
planking from Wilkes to Franklin ?
The same ordinance provides for a
flagman at the intersection of Wilkes
and Royal streets. The provisions
should be enforced or the ordinance so
amended 10 suit the notions of the rail-
way officials. QUEsTIoNER.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 9. 1885.

THE NEGROES of New York. who, al
most to man, voted the republican
ticket at the last election there, or now
say they did, are very angry witp' anu
are loudly denouncing Mr.. Strong Inc
republican mayor, whom their ballots
helped to elect, because he, ike zen
cral Malone, but unlike President
Cleveland, believe it is not yet time 70
nut negroes in prominent positions, and
only gives them messengers and
laborers' places. Northern republicans
think, or at least say they do, that
negroes are good enough to hold i'm
portant and responsible Offices in the
South, but the idea Of bestowing such
offices upon them in the North never
seems to enter their heads. With them,
it should be mixed government in the
South, but white mans government
in the North.

writer across the Atlantic the
whole tone of woman's dress is
going to alter with the spring.

much trimmed will be de riguenr.
Gauze, tulle, crepe and crepon will be

THE TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS.

THE TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The official statement as to the total
appropriations of the last session OF
Congress have not yet been prepared,
aud none will be given out until the
close of the present week, when they
they will be put forth by Chairman
Savers. of the House committee on ap-
preparations, and by Rep. Can
non, with comments in the interests of
the democratic and republican parties,
respectively. The total will not be far
from 1896, 600, 900 for the entire session,
and, assuming this figure to be correct,
the total appropriations for 1895 and
1896 combined would be 1888, 230, 685,
that for 1895 being 1892, 23O,685 The
estimates of the Treasury Department
as to the requirements of the various
departments made at the beginning of
the session placed the total at $497 ,342, :
4S6. 1t will be seen that the appropri-
ations in the total come very near the
mark set by the Treasury Department,
though the moneys are not distributed
in the way indicated as most desirable.
When these estimates of money for ex-
penditure were sent in they were &C
companied by another estimate placing
he probable revenue for 1896 at S476,-
9O7 .4O7. If this estimate should prove
to be correct there would be defcien-
cv of about sl9,O00,O00. Later esti-
mates have, however, increased the
figures on the revenue for next year.
Representative Cannon claims q large
increase in appropriations by. the Fifty
second and Fifty-third Congresses over
