The santa Monica appropriation.


our dispatches from Washington say
that much surprise is expressed that the
Senate committee on commerce should
have appropriated $3O9S, 900 for the i'm
provement Of Santa Monica harbor in
Southern California. There appears tobe
good ground for surprise. Both of the
California senator's and the representative
of the Los Angeles district oppose the
appropriation. Even the army engineers
are against it, they having reported that
it is doubtful If the harbor can be made
a good one.
Why, then, does the committee on COM
merce insist on making the appropriation?
If the projected Improvement were a meri-
torious one it would have commanded
the approval of the river and harbor com
mittee That that committee declined to
make an appropriation for it is pretty
good evidence that il should not be made
Rumor has it that the parties to be
benefited by the Improvement are the
Southern Pacific railway people. Mr.. c.
p. Huntingdon, it is alleged, has been
using his influence in behalf of an appro-
priation for Santa Monica, and while he
was not able to make a favorable i'm.
preston on the river and harbor commit
tee he succeeded in getting the commerce
committee 10 do what he wanted done.
There may be. of course, good reasons
for spending millions of dollars in max,
ing harbor at Santa Monica. If there
fore the House viii agree to an appropria-
ton for it. The public are yet in the
dark as to what the reasons are.

Joke on the Republicans.
From the Richmond Dispatch Dem.).

One of our northern exchanges seriously
reports that stocks went down in New
York on Thursday because Mckinley led
so far the other aspirants to the presi-
dency. This is a good joke on the republic
cans What would have happened If a
free coinage candidate had been nomi-
mated, or recommended for nomination?

Come, get TO work; I'm not goin' to

These dreadful words We're heard by a
mild-mannered citizen as he was passing
big apartment house in Eighteenth
street, between Firth and Sixth avenues,
at about O'Clock yesterday morning.
The street was deserted, the night was
both dark and still, a very IDEAL season
for burglars, and the dialogue came from
the depths of the basement OF the fiat
house, says the New York Herald
The timid citizen felt his marrow con-
geal, and he looked this way and that,
hoping for the friendly CLINT of brass but

membered the maxim of his good old
father, When in doubt, mind your own
business and he walked on.
At Broadway, however he saw a police
man., TO whom he related what he had
heard.

bluecoat, because this thing is out of

The citizen looked ruefully at his slen-

The citizen has decided that the next

and deliver unto him a document signed
