The budget submitted to the Secretary
OF the Treasury by the District Commits
si0ners for transmission to Congress
amounts, in round numbers, to 81, so. 600.
As compared with last year, this is an in
crease Of $4,000 \ large proportion OF
this increase is due to the additional sal
aries granted during the last session Of
Congress 10 the school-teachers, police.
and iremen.
Deducting from the total estimates the
items which ought not TO be regarded as
current expenditures. such as s550.o0o for
completing the new municipal building,
$4,000 for the proposed pressure hre-
protection service, and amounting to more
than 100000. il VIII be seen that the
estimates are well within the anticipated
revenues for next year. These revenues.
in fact, are placed at Sl1,000.e00. so that
Congress can grant practically every item
and still avoid any Indebtedness. In their
effort TO reduce expenditures, the Com
niissioners eliminated no less than $780,
009 from the estimates as originally sub
mitted to them by the heads Of the various
departments, retaining only those items
which seemed TO them to be necessary
for the Districts proper development. A
glance at the budget shows that the pol

Oklahoma's civilization has evolved
many unique products. but none that
will attract more attention than the Hon.
Charles E. Hunter. Mr.. Hunter first won
the gratitude Of the nation as a Rough
Rider in which capacity he had the
rare good fortune, although a humble

the martial eye OF the lieutenant colonel
Of that celebrated regiment. He resumed
the ways OF peace after his return from
the campaign in Cuba. as those ways are
understood in Oklahoma. and not a great
while after his lieutenant colonel had be-
come President of the United States there
occurred a vacancy in the clerkship Of
the District Court at Oklahoma City. Mr.
Hunter was prevailed upon 10 accept
this Office. After having established an
astonishing record in the Office he now
threatens TO resign, for the following
strange reason, to-wit: The fees of his

ago he gave surprising emphasis TO his
views on this subject by writing to the
Department Of Justice suggesting that
court clerks in Oklahoma be put upon a
stipulated salary of $500 a year He
pointed out that in ninety days the clerk
fees in his district amounted 70 5000

4 Worthy Enterprise.

It is sincerely TO be hoped that the en-
deavor Of the colored people of Washing
ton 10 duplicate Mr.. Rockefeller's con-
tribution Of $500 for d colored branch OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
VIII meet with hearty support. The en-
terprise is one that appeals strongly to
al who have an interest in the develop
melt of the colOred race
IN some respects the conditions which
prevail in Washington are a disadvan-
tage TO the colored people. Their youth,
for instance, are almost literally COM
PEELED to seek their recreation amid cir
cumstances which are not elevating. The
pool room, with its throng of idle boys.
its low surroundings, and its temptations,
opens its doors to coIored youth, but no.
where else can the latter find legitimate
and healthy amusement 1t is proposed
to equip this new branch Of the Y. NJ.
{. A. with bowling alleys, shower baths,
reading rooms, &c, so that young men
cannot only be attracted thereto. but can
also enjoy themselves without moral or
physical detriment. There are IN Wash
ingtOn hundreds and even thousands Of
young colored men who would prefer A
decent environment like that which is
now proposed and who only congregata
elsewhere because they cannot help them
selves. With such an institution as this
branch Of the association. there ought TO
be no excuse for continued patronage Of
the places which mean injury to develop
ing character.
We venture 10 suggest, however. that
our colored people, before they appeal 10
their white brethren, endeavor to raise
this $4,000 among themselves. They can
do it if they viii only persevere. There
is In Washington an unusually large
number Of well-to-do colored people y
still larger number own their homes and
have little money in bank. Their
churches are. as a rule. we'll supported.
There is no reason, therefore, why the
structure which is to be erected should
not stand as a monument to the colored
people, designed by an architect of their
race, constructed by a builder of their
own color, and, finally, paid for by their
own contributions. In any event, the
building viii be an inspiration to the
colored people: but its uplifting value
will be far greater If every colored youth
who enters its portals can feel that il
was, from foundation TO roof, the work
Of his own race.

which concern the physical side OF the
Districts growth. For instance, they ask
$4,000 for repairing the streets, an ex-
penditure very necessary at this time An
other large appropriation Of $4,000 is
asked for the construction of suburban
sewers, which item vitality affects the
large population residing beyond the city's
limits. Considerable money is asked for
street improvements, while it is also pro-
posed to materially increase the number
Of fre-engines and truck houses. All these
things are greatly 10 be desired. and it is
to be hoped that Congress will appreciate
the necessity for them.
Generous provision has been made for
the public schools. A vast amount Of
money has already been expended upon
our schools. and if results bear any rela-
ton to capital invested, and Congress con-
tinues to manifest its liberality, the
Washington institutions ought to present
q record Of splendid achievement The
charities, too. are well cared for, over
81 ,00o,0G0 being estimated for them. An
other item of especial interest is $780,
Geo for the purchase of sites for public
Fairgrounds. This appropriation ought to
be made. 1t is an investment for genera
tons yet to come.
The Commissioners have acted wisely in
recommending very few increases to the
administrative force. There is already a
feeling in Congress that the District has
too many inspectors and clerks; ana while
this sentiment may be, and probably is.
without foundation. there is nothing to be
gained by inviting further criticism Upon
the whole. the budget presents every evil
dence Of careful consideration, and in all
of its essential items ought to receive the
favorable action Of Congress.

Women in the worlds work.

From the Technical World.
The increase in the number of women in
the trade and industry OF America is
alarming. Out OF sos ''gainful occupations
enumerated by the census Of the United
States there are only eight in which
women do not appear. From four out of
these eight occupations women are ex-
GUIDED by law. At the present time there
are over 100000 women at work in Va
rious trades and occupations in the United
States. IN 1900. of every five American
women over ten years Of age, there was
one who was going outside Of her family
duties and who was taking part in the
gainful work Of the working world. At
that time there We're forty women civil
