Preserving "scenery."

Not long ago a man Of national i'm
portance characterized an attempt to
beautify the city Of Washington as
spending money for scenery" The
phrase may be taken a. sneer, ~ II
was Intended to be taken. or with ap-
proval. n expressing q truth and q
wise policy. Spending money for
scenery. remarks Youths Companion.
Is one of the most hopeful signs Of q
reawakening to natural possibilities
It Ia not confined to any one region.
San Francisco ia already talking about
the Burnham plans for beautifying the
city, which have long been in abey-
ance. The rebuilding of the Gateway
Of the west now affords an opportunity
TO put them in practice. Niagara falls.
the White mountains. the Appalachi-
ans and the Palisades are eastern
scenery. but they are also national
possessions. and 1t is with sort OF
wonder that commercial interests have
against destroying them or encroach-
ing seriously upon them. The old state
house in Boston and Independence hall
In Philadelphia are more local ex-
amples OF the same quality of public
interest which lies in sentiment. They
are scenery" Of sort which appeals
to a pride as stubborn as the power
Of money. and more creditable. The
man who cares for his fathers grave
and preserves the old family home is
paying money for scenery" too. but
more persons understand that kind Of
sentiment. The other kind-the larger.
more communal and fraternal kind
is just as surely coming into it's own.

An abundance of work and a fam.
Inc Of workmen represent a condition
ttat is constantly growing more COM
mon in America. The greatest trouble
is the dearth of farm hands, as shown
by the report Of the states free public
employment office in this city. Mem
absolutely refuse to leave the cities for
the fields. But the problem is not
confined to the country. In the cities
there is work a-plenty and dearth
Of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not q
notable increase in the number Of
vagfants and able-bodied paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fac. that prosperity and thrift
have depleted the ranks of common
,aborers. leading them to geek better
things in life.

Principal Appropriations.

Washington.-Chairm Tawney OF
the House appropriations committee
made the following statement as to
the appropriations for the fiscal year
1907:
THE total appropriations made at
this session OF Congress. including
those carried in the regular appropri-
alton acts, all deficiencies. miscella-
neous matters and permanent annual
appropriations, aggregate $3.50. .1S3,-
3O1.
This is an apparent increase OF
sec, 100000 over the appropriations
made at the last session Of Congress.
This is more than accounted for
in the three following items:
For the Isthmian canal, $42.447.-
900: under the statehood bill, $10.-
$50, 900; toward the construction Of
new buildings authorized at this ses-
sion, $1O.321 900, making a total of
$63, ,O18. 900, to which might be added
properly $5,OO0.000 for San Francisco.
"Other notable increases are 3d.
100000 for inspection of meat pro-
ducts and $10,600,000 on account Of
the postal service.
THE total apparent appropriations
made at this session, $3.50, 1873 ,301, do
not constitute in their entirety a
charge against the revenues OF the
government for the next fiscal year,
for the reason that there must be de-
Quoted deficiencies that are charge
able to the service of the current
year and to meet expenditures al
ready incurred on account thereof, ap-
proximating at least $35.000,000 This
sum includes $16,000,000 for the 18th
mian canal.
There should be deducted also $751;
100000 for the sinking fund.- which
may or may not be met in whole or
discretion with the secretary of the
treasury to utilize the surplus for
that purpose.
There should also be deducted
$22, 900. 900. which is estimated and
included in the whole sum of appro-
priations to be paid out OF deposits
of national banks in redemption OF
circulating notes of banks. The de-
posits are not credited as a part OF
the revenues of the government, and
therefore redemptions made from the
fund thus arising should not be
charged to expenditures.
THE $25,456,415 appropriated for
work on the Isthmian canal is pay
able from or reimbursable to the
treasury out of bonds that are au-
thorized to be sold for that purpose
and should also be deducted from the
appropriations for 1907.
The sums mentioned amount to
more than $139,00O,000, and when de-
Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only $741 100000 to be met out of
the revenues Of the next fiscal year.
'In my judgment the ordinary reve-
nues of the next fiscal year will
amount to at least $500, 100000. The
postal revenues are estimated at
$1S1, ,973. 900 for 1907, making the total
apparent resources of the government
for next year not less than $7S1 ,573, :
600, or at least $40.0OO,000 in excess
of appropriations that may be
charged against them"
