exist and govern peacefully. But unles
the bitter hatred now existing between
the different races in the island can be
greatly moderated or removed altogether
the establishment of such government
will be next to impossible. OF course
time will do much toward softening the
present bitterness, and perhaps after
military occupation by us for year OF
two, it may be so far subdued that some
thing may be done toward the setting up
of home government. But it is evident
that to abandon the island to its inhabit-
ants at the present time would be TO turn
it over to anarchy as bad and probably
worse than that from which we have just
rescued it,

| At the beginning of every session of
| Congress the head of the several depart
ments submit estimates of the amounts
of money that will be needed to carry on
| the work under their direction during the
nsxt fiscal year, which begins July l.
| These estimates year ago amounted to
| 1862, 647, 1856, but th3 Spanish war SO
swelled the expenses that it has been nee.
essary to pass deficiency bills, which have
swelled the total for the twelve months
ending next year, which is known rs the
year 1885, to Ss03, SIS, 5l3, or nearly 34s
millions more than was supposed would
be sufficient. The appropriations for the
military establishment are $3S7, 64l, 446,
and for the naval establishment $107, 1916, :
1853. The estimates for the year ending
June 80, 1900, which must be voted by
the present Congress, amount to $685.
| 048, 37S.
In comparing the estimates for 1899
and 1900 some interesting differences will
| be noted. The estimate for the military
establishments for 1900 is S145, 119, 431
| while that for 1899 was only $24, $50, 043
A list in detail gives us the larger items
of the former as follows:
| Pay and travelling expenses Of the
army, 500, 43), 909; increase, SAL, 443. SAP.

| Regular supplies, quartermaster's de-
partDent, $l4 QUO, 600: increase, Sl2, O00, 600
| The naval estimates show a considera
BILE inc ease also, from S29, 929, $50 to
| $50, ia, 652; pensions advance from SAL
257, 750 to Sl45, 233, $50, and the permanent
annual appropriations from SLIT, 1886, go
to $l2S, 67S, 80. There are other minor
| increases which may be set down to nat
uraI development, and there is one nota-
BILE decrease. The estimates for public
works are cut from $73,364, 1874 to $780,

It seems to be impossible for the Farmer

it on the table. So it is not true that

Mai. W. A. Simpson who has ben sta

OF the United States officers in the Philip
pines were opposed to holding the is lands

it. Major Simpson thought 10000 troops

Probably the time will come when it
will be for the interest of Portland to
have South Portland annexed to it, but
the time is not yet. The probability is
that this winter the legislature will pass
an act uniting Portland and Deering.
This union will bring many problems to
be solved, and give the people of both
cities enough questions to deal with for
some time to come If South Portland
should be annexed at the same time the
situation would be greatly complicated and
In all probability much mischief result.
The questions involved in the union Of
Portland and Deering have been thor
oughly studied for years, and are pretty
well understood by the people of both
towns But there has been nosdiscussion
whatever in regard to union of Portland
and South Portland. and the people of
neither town are sufficiently informed
about it to express an intelligent opinion.
This question therefore should be left for
the future. Thers is story floating about
that the reason it is precipitated at this
time is that it may introduce complica-
tions which will hinder the union of
Portland aud Deering This may not be
the purpose of it's promoters but that it
will have that effect we have 0 doubt.
