INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS.

n AMENDMENTS to the suudry civil appropria- \ ton bill agreed upon by the Senate Commit tee on Appropriations in many ways fav- orable to California and afford evidence of the ex- cellent work done by delegation in Congress in advancing the internal improvement of the State If the amendments are adopted by the Senate and ac- cepted by the House the bill will be much more ad- vantageous to us than in its original form.
 All the appropriations made for California in the original bill are retained. The fight against San Pedro failed in the Senate committee it failed in the House. and the prospects are that this long struggle for much needed improvement has now seen decisivey There is however, one more chance for the monopoly to win It has some strong supporters and faithful servants in the Senate, and not until the final the bill has been taken we rejoice in the assurance of completed victory.
 There will be good deal of qualification over the appropriation of $25oooo for the improvement of the rivers to carry the of 1896 for the erection of restraining dams This amount, taken in connection with that made by the State gives for river improve ment the sum of S5ooooo and under judicious man agement vast benefit be accomplished for the State by its expenditure It is of sufficient to defray the of all the work required but it is reasonable to that the results achieved by 1t will be sufficient to demonstrate the value of such inn provements and thereby incline Congress to make further appropriations hereafter to complete the work and keep the rivers in good order.
 There are several other amendments recommended by the committee of less note, but of considerable in terest to the State Among these appropriations for Yosemite and Sequoia parks, for repairs i'm provements on national buildings in this and other cities and for Eshtships and light stations along the coast The bill is in every respect more liberal measure than that adopted by the House, and for once at any the Senate has it's usefulness as a check on the lower branch of Congress. It has prevented in this instance seeming economy in the work of internal improvement which would have nroved in the long run wastefu and foolish policy

THE HOSPITALITY CAME HIGH.

o 0 o 0 were standirg in the lobby of the hotel the other evening, when they were approached by an ac- quaintance who resides in the city and invited to go out to his house and dine. They were reluctant to accept the tnvi- tation at first, but as he continued to urge them, saying that there was no req son why they should not go with him and enjoy a good dinner instead of dining downtown at an expense of a couple of dollars, they finally accepted, and the whole party started out of the hotel. AS they passed a well-known saloon the host suggested that they go in and shake for a cocktail. His proposition met with the approval of the other two and the trio went inside where they remained long enough to shake three times, one guest losing twice and the other once. At the next bar they met a large crowd of friends of the host just after one of the guests had been stuck, and it cost him s1 9 to pay for what they drank. A cigar stand was their next stop, and 1t cost one guest $1 50 for what he lost shaking, while the other dropped $3 40 in the machine, winning a sufficient number of cigars to make it unneces: " for the host to buy. On the car they matched for the fare, and again it was one of the guests who paid the conductor.
 At the house a miserable dinner awaited them, after which the host proposed a game of poker, which lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning, and which re- suited in the two visitors being complete lv cleaned out and signing notes for amounts which ran way into the three figures.
 The next day the two gentlemen, after paving their losses. compared notes, and found that the invitation had cost them together exactly s792 45, all of which had gone either into the pockets or stomach of their hospitable entertainer, whose ac- auaintance they had made on the train.

FOREIGN PRIsoh-MADE GOODS.

n CORRESPONDENT of the American Econ / \ omist, writing from Germany, says: From what have learned positive that large quantity of prison-made goods is being shipped to the United States There are in this empire fifty fu-sized prisons many containing thousand souls, and great majority have workshops where quanti- ties of cheap stuff turned out. The authorities do not wish this material to into competition with local tradespeop1e or dealers as 1t would se- riously injure their business and they wink at the export of these prison-made goods to foreign coun- tries. Consequently the export of prisonmade stuff to the United States the increase, greatly the injury of the working classes of America"
 The Economist does not give the of its cor respondent but vouches for his report and says "he is accurately informed the facts in the and his statements undoubtedly reliable" On this showing 1t becomes the duty of customs officers to exercise than ordinary in the inspection of European imports. While the report to the Econ omist speaks of German prisons only it is not likely that the Germans are the sole people who unload their prison made goods far as they can. close watch will have to be kept the whole inn pert trade
 The Dngley tariff provides for the exclusion from our markets of all foreign prison-made goods of whatever kind. The language is emphatic and clear. It is declared that "goods wares articles and mer- CnanQlSc naHuldCluleQ WnOLy or III part III any IO1- cign country by convict labor shall be entitled entry any of the ports of the United States and the importation thereof is hereby prohibited"
 The opposition to the import of prison-made goods has long been the policy of the people of the United States and Is well founded. At the present time a bill is before Congress prohibiting the export of such goods from State to another and has been strongly supported It is an evidence of the ness Of the American people in the struggle to pro free labor from the competition of convcts and may be cited proof that the competition has been felt tc be injurious within the limits of country. If this is the consequence of the sale of goods made in home prisons it is easy to that the import of the product of foreign prisons would be tremely pernicious
 The matter is which should be attended to by our foreign Consuls as we'll by our customs off cias It hardly be wholly guarded against at the port of entry. There must be watch kept at the point of export. The Economist has done we'll in directing attention to the extent to which the evil is carried on and it is to be hoped the Government will at once take steps to check the practice.

Street Music.

A crisis was reached in Boston about
two weeks ago. The citizens OF that
learned town decided that some restric-
tion must positively be placed on the
street-piano business. The city council
therefore appointed committee on music.
which caused all the street musicians in
town 10 appear before it with their pianos,
organs and monkeys. Then they had
competitive examination.
The result of the examination was that
two hundred Of the musicians were ruled
out on the first day, while fifty were dis
missed with the permission to continue in
business. What the exiled two hundred
will do is not yet known. 1t would seem
that they might proftably seek employ

MIR. EVANS ENTERS THE
LISToF POSSIBILITIES
Commissioner of Pensions Talked
of for Secretary Bliss Place
in the Cabinet.

A strong influence is being exerted in
favor of Hon. H. Clay Evans for Secre-
tary Of the Interiee, TO succeed Mr.. Bliss.
AS is well known, Mr.. Evans is now at
the head of the Pension Office. which is
the largest bureau4in the department. He
was prominent candidate for Vice Presi-
dent at the St Louis convention of 1895,
was formerly member Of Congress from
the Chattanooga district OF Tennessee,
and toward the close of the Harrison Ad-
ministration was Assistant Postmaster
General. Having had a valuable legisla-
tive and executive experience, the friends
of Mr.. Evans consider him eminently
qualified for a Cabinet position.
II Is reported on pretty good authority
that In the event President Mckinley calls
Mr. Evans to a higher place, Land Com
missioner Hermann will be transferred TO
the Pension Commissionership and a new
selection will probably be made for the
head of the Land Office.
