: BEFORE BREAKFAST.

An uneXuCctyd delegate, to whom no
place of entertainment had been as
signed made an early start for the con-
VcntiOn yesterday morning. He had
evidert tly sought in vain for admission
at the great doors of Elm PARK church
for when the sections looked out vigi-
lantly, as they frequently do look since
the fires, they behcld him occupying
the front porch at the parsonage. He
was a goat of robust proportions, and
he had climbed the stones steps and
was placidly waiting to be let in at the
door. 1t was with some difficulty that
his gOatship could be persuaded to
take himself off and several of the
EpwOrth league delegates were highly
amused by the performance attendant
upon his departure.
At a meeting of the West Side min
listers it was decided to hold union
Thanksgiving services i'm the Congrega-
tional church with Rev. p. f. Doty to
deliver the sermon.
street Commissioner Dunning fol-
lows the Scriptural injunction to do not
your good deeds before men that We
may be seen. for about 10 o'clock last
night he was discovered industriously
sweeping up the shattered remains Of
an arc light globe that had fallen in
front of a prominent business place on
Washington avenue. And behold the
bicycle rider shall rise up and call him
blessed.

The Democrats are already begin
ming their howl about the total amount
of the appropriations that will be
made by the fifty-fourth Congress. 1t
is true that the total of the appropria-
tions for two years will exceed 81, ,000,-
600, 900, but the Democrats would show
more wisdom if they would point out
single appropriation made, or to be
made in the short time remaining Of
the session, that is not needed, or
that the government will not get full
value for, instead Of yelling "extrava-
CANT appropriations" like lot Of par
rots. The senate is not Republican
body-would that it Were-yet it has
not only approved all Of the appropria-
tions made by the House, but has in
nearly every bill increased them. Be-
sides. it should not be forgotten that a
considerable amount of the money ap-
propriated by this Congress was made
necessary by continuing contracts
made by the last Democratic Congress
for River and Harbor improvements,
public buildings and the increase Of the
Navy. Chairman Cam on, of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
correctly stated the situation when he
said that contracts previously made
had to be observed; that Congress
could not allow unfinished public build
iags to remain exposed in all kinds Of
weather, and that the pension laws
could not be ignored. In short, th at
no appropriations have been made
that were not necessary for the con-
duct of the government and the
of it's interests. Mr.. Can
mons ideas Of economy in public expen-
ditures are SO rigid that he has offended
many personal friends by refusing to !
sanction propositions for appropriations
which have come before his committee.
There is no item in any appropriation
made by the fifty-fourth Congress that
any Republican need be ashamed Of;
the appropriations are all needed and
the money is all to be spent among the
people and for the people.
