Principal Appropriations.

washingion.-Chnirm Tawney OF
the House appropriations committee
made the following statement AZ 10
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 SSS0.lS3.-
3O1.
This is an apparent increase OF
$GO. .00O.0 900 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.-
600: under the statehood bill. 31O.,
$50 900: toward the construction OF
new buildings authorized at this ses-
sion. $1O.321 900. making total OF
So, ,O1S. 900. to which might be added
properly $5.00O.0 900 for San Francisco.
other notable increases are 3d..
900 900 for inspection Of meat pro-
ducts and $1O600.0O0 on account Of
the postal service.
THE total apparent appropriations
made at this session. $3.50. .3O1. do
not constitute in their entirety q
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.O0O.000. This
sum includes $16,OOO.OOO for the lstn'
mian canal
There should be deducted also $57s
900 900 for the sinking fund which
may or may not be met In whole OF
in part. as 1t is purely a matter OF
discretion with the secretary Of the
treasury to utilize the surplus for
that purpose.
There should also be deducted
$22, ,000. 900. which is estimated and
included in the whole sum OF appro
priations to be paid out OF deposits
of national banks in redemption ot
circulating notes OF hanks. The de-
posits are not credited as part OF
the revenues of the government. and
therefore redemptions made from thi
fund thus arising should not be
charged to expenditures.
1.-The $25.456,415 appropriated for
work on the Isthmian canal Is pay
able from or reimbursable to the
| thorized to be yold for that purpose
and should also be deducted from the
appropriations for 1907.
THE sums mentioned amount ia
more than $139,00O,000. and when de.
Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only $741. .OOO. 900 to be met out ot
the revenues Of the next fiscal year.
I'm my judgment the ordinary reve
nues Of the next fiscal year Will
amount to at least $500. 100000. This
postal revenues are estimated AT
3181, ,973. 900 for 1907, making the total
apparent resources of the government
for next year not less than $791.67Ss,
! 900. or at least $40,000,000 In excess
Of appropriations that may b
charged against them"

NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
Denver Murderer Must Serve Life
Sentence.

Denver.-RusselI Boles. convicted
for the murder of Harold Fridborn and
OF assaulting his sister. Florence Frid-
born. must serve HIS life sentence. un-
less he receives freedom through some
iother channel than the Supreme
Court. A decision written by Justice
,Gabbert and handed down Monday up
holds the decision OF the District
Court.
The court declares that the conten-
,tion of the defendants counsel that
the crimes were committed by para
'mour OF the girl are cruel and unjust,
las well as unreasonable. we con-
clude that the evidence abundantly
supports the finding OF the jury. and,
this being true. in absence OF error in
the law committed during the prog
iress Of the trial. we should leave the
verdict and sentence uudisturbed:
The Fridborn murder was committed
December 81, 1901. and Boles was ar
rested in Vancouver. British Columbia

supreme Court Decision In Denver
Labor Case.

Denver.-The eight-hour law of
colorado Ia sound. 1t was upheld by
q decision In the Supreme Court yes
tcrday. Chief Justice Gabbert writing
the opinion. According to this de-
cision the municipalities are merely
branches OF the state government. and
the Legislature can regulate the hours
OF labor.
4 The decision was rendered In the
case OF John A. Keefe, contractor.
against the people OF the state. The
District Court found for the defendant.
and this judgment OF the lower court
! Ii affirmed.
; Justice Gabbert cites at great
length from the opinion OF Justice
Harlan OF the United States Supreme
Court on the principle OF eight-hour
Legislation. and says:
The municipality of Denver
though created by constitutional
amendment by direct vote OF the peo-
Ole. and having the power to frame It's
Town charter. is Just as much an
agency OF the state for the purpose Of
government as II II were organized
under general law passed by the
General Assembly. The mode of It's
'croation does not change the nature
1 OF Its relation to the state. Like cities
and towns organized under the general
statutes. II is still part OF the state
government.
This act, in effect. declares that IL
Is the public policy OF the state not to
permit any officer or agent OF the
state, or its municipalities, or any con
tractor thereof to employ any working
mar In the prosecution OF public work
for more than eight hours day. and
for the violation OF the statute pen
atty is provided.
( THE state has never relinquishcd to
the new city and county OF Denver.
and never can surrender to It. the
power to enact laws to punish crimes
and misdemeanoI3. and the operation
OF such laws embraces all the people
OF the state. whether living In NUM-
cipalities or counties created directly
by the constitution or organized
under general laws Such legislation
would not be valid II It expressly ex.
empted the city and county of Denver
from its operation"

CONGRESS ADjOURNS after D0INe
MUCH VERY IMPORTANT work

the Congress has done more substan-
tial work for good. than any Congress
at any session since ! became familiar
with public affairs. The legislation
has been along the line OF real con-
structive craftsmanship OF the most
practical and efficient type. and hill af-
ter bill has been enacted which has
been OF an importance so great that It
Is fair to say that the enactment OF
any one Of them would have made the
session memorable: such. for instance.
as the railroad rate bill. the meat In
spection measure. the pure food bill.
the bill for free alcohol in tho arts.
the consular reform bill. the Panama
canal legislation. the joint statehood
bill and the naturalization bill.
unseifish and Wise.
II certainly have no disposition to
blink at what there In OF evil in our no.
cial. industrial or political life of to-day.
but II seems TO me that the men Of gen
uine patriotism. who genuinely wish
well to their country. have the right
to feel a profound satisfaction In the
entire course OF this Congress. i
would not be afraid to compare its rec
ord with that OF any previous Congress
In our history. not alone for the wis
dom. but for the disinterested high
mindedness which has controlled It's
action.
1T Is noteworthy that not single
measure which the closest scrutiny
would warrant us In calling OF doubt
ful propriety has been enacted. and ON

kind has availed to prevent the enact

HUMP YARDS UNSUCCESSFUL.

New Burlington Yards at GaIesbura
Not Giving Satisfactory Results.
An article in the Galesburg Republi.
can Register infers that the Burlington
experiment with hump yards In that
city is not all that 1t might be. A
clipping from the article states:
According to the practical tests
thus far given them, the gigantic new
hump yards of the Burlington south
OF the city are not giving anything
like satisfactory results, although the
building Of them involved an expen.
dlture OF three and one-half millions
of dollars and kept small army Of
men busy during the summer Of 1905
an nearly all Of the present season.
In the beginning the road has been
handicapped with the inability too get
the services of experienced hump"
switchmen, scare article in the pres
ent times, as the species of yards are
not numerous through the railroad
world.
Since the yards have been in opera
ton here the road has had to contend
with many small smash-ups and it has
become almost necessary to keep a
Wrecker constantly near the scene.
