Inauguration Expenses.

The District of Columbia is once
more agitating for an appropriation by
congress to pay the expenses of the
Inauguration on the fourth of March
next. Probably many persons imagine
that the nation does pay for this
pageant, but it does not give penny.
The entire expense is assumed by the
residents of the District of Columbia,
and 1t is big sum for a community
that has little commerce. All tina
money for the parades, ETC., is fur
nished by the citizens through sub.
scriptions, save what can be secured
by selling seats ON grandstands and
tickets to the so-called inaugural
ball." OF course, the states which send
military organizations to participate
pay their way, but at the same time
the District committee has to do some
thing toward entertaining them. The
cost has become a burden and really
