IL
Washington, March 1O.-Availlng
himself of the privilege accorded by the
House of Representatives previous to
adjournment. Chairman Cannon, OF the
committee on appropriations. has pre-
pared for the Congressional Record n
more extensive statement Of the appro-
print!ons made by the Fifty-nfth Con-
gress than he made the day after the
adjournment. He places the total an
preparations for the entire Congress a,

thorized for future Congresses under
the continuing contract system for bat
tleships, river and harbor improvemcn
ana public buildings At $4,000. coo
The total appropriations made at tho
last session MIR. Cannon places at SOS.
C3S,iO0. showing an apparent reduction
OF S2l95'3,2li below the appropriations
OF the preceding session. Mr.. Cannon
attributes this reduction to the extra
ordinary war expenses of the preceding
session. OF the total appropriations for
the Congress he says that the sum of
SIS, 90 .0S3 is directly chargcable 10 the
war with Spain. He thus shows that
the ordinary expenditures fcr the two
years covered by the Congress were ST.
oil $50 - and this sum exceeds the to-
tai appropriations Of the Fifty fourth
Congress by $S9,I46, SOS.
CALCULATIONS.
MIR. Cannon congratulatcs Congress
ana the country upon this showing ana
also upon the fact that notwithstand-
ing the war, close attention was given
10 the ordinary expenditures of the
Government. which is. he thinks. nm
usual. lie cites the defeat of the pro-
vision for the construction of the Mica
ragua canal. which the Senate attempt
ed to get through in connection with
the sundry civil appropriation bill. as
an instance of the success of this
watchfuness on the part of the House.
If ne says on this point. ";he SEN
ate bill or any measure proposed had
been enacted. the United States would
have paid $4,000. coo for Il worthless con-
cession. and would have been commit
ted by lax to the construction of a ca
nal along the Nicaragua route. and
under such conditions il would have
been compelled. before we threw Il

gan actual construction. to have nc.

Costa Rica, the territory whereon 10

FUTURE LEGISLATION.
In conclusion Mr.. Cannon declines to
c"lci upon the present discussion OF
future legislation, saying:

TALK OF the creation OF rev state
out of the territory of New Mexico
and the western portion of the state OF
Texas is increasing. The territorial
papers are discussing the matter all
the time, and New Mexico seems to
take more interest in the matter than
our own people If public expressions
are good guide. Today we print
some new information in regard to the
proposition, and also an interview
with a prominent New Mexican. The
question is one that will become in
creasingly important as the years 60
by. It is not one to be settled hastily,
but VIXEN all the considerations in
volved are taken into account it must
be apparent that the fact that the
proposal could arouse IS much public
interest as it has is of great signifi-
canoe. Considered abstractly aud
theoretically, the scheme would seem
to be to the clear advantage of New
Mexico and of the city of Ell Paso. Ell
Paso now holds the first place among
all the cities of the great southwest.
She has no competitor between Fort
Worth, Los Angeles, and Denver.
There is no reason to believe that she
will ever forfeit this leading position,
for she has all the necessary ad-
vantages to assure brilliant future,
far outclassing all her neighbors.
But with all this, Ell Paso is at
a great disadvantage just now by
reason of her isolation with
reference to the rest of the great
state to which she nominally beings.
We have virtually no recognition poll
tically, either in the state or nation.
There is nothing to be gained by bring
ing our forces to bear on state or ma
tional politics, for our people would be
deprived of the reward should we sue
coed in impressing our Importance on
the rest of the state and the nation. ALL
this would be changed il Ell Paso should
become the capital and the metropolis
a commanding position that would be
used for the advantage of all the terri
tory about US. Most of the territory
that would be included in the new state
is now actually tributary to this city,
and our scope of trade influence is
every day. OF course the
question is broad one, and it will take
lime to consider it in all it's lights. But
me thing Is certain. In the event of
such consolidation, statehood for the
newly organized territory would not be
comes growth, expansion, upon scale
low undreamt of.

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THE public library will have suitable
rooms in the new city hall. This is
now practically certain. The library
with it's twelve hundred books is the
nucleus for public library that shall
before long be proportionate to the
size and Importance of this city. In
Fort Worth the erection of fine new
building for the city public library has
been begun. Here the work of col
providing for circulation, and all the
various matters that come up in con-
nection with such an undertaking, are
and have been from the first in the
hands of a few public spirited women.
ALI credit Is due to those who have
striven 80 faithfully and so successful
~ for the accomplishment of these
ends.
Now that the library is about to be
given quarters that are to some degree
commensurate with it's Importance, it
is the duty of every citizen to help
along in every way the movement for
broadening the scope and increasing
the size of the library. just now the
library is very excellent collection of
books of general interest,
principally fiction, designed
especially for circulation. AS
is known, the library has been entirely
dependent for it's support and growth
upon the dues of the members and con-
tributions; from outside sources. No
aid has been given it at any time by
the city, although the city charter ex-
pressly provides that the city council
shall have power.to make proper provi-
sion for the establishment and mainte
nance of public libraries.
Just now the time is especially op-
Fortune for all the citizens to come to
the aid of the library. 1t is needless to
argue upon the proposition that pub
lie library, intelligently conducted. is
one of the most potent agencies for
good in any community, and one of the
most efficient agents with which to
fight the forces of evil. If it is asked
what the individual can do to help the
library along, let us say that if q large
number will afford substantial proof of
