The Approximation Bill.

While the District 10 grateful for the
increases in the appropriation bill agreed
upon by the Senate appropriations commit
tee. amounting to $6SS.s9S over the allot-
ments Of District money by the House.
the increase. nevertheless. fails to bring
the total up to the necessary and justi-
fable limit of the anticipated revenues.
The Commissioners wrote their estimates
this year In strict accordance with the
provisions of the current appropriation
act limiting them to statement of the
Districts needs in terms of the expected
revenues. Indeed, the Commissioners
went beyond what some considered to be
the actual requirements of this law by
providing In their estimates for a large
installment of District money as a refund
of the federal advances. But even with
this allowance for the retirement Of the
floating debt the bill as it comes from
the Senate appropriations committee
leaves about 100000 OF District revenue
unallOtted. This balance remains after
the deduction of not only the amounts
carried by the District bill, but those
which are chargeable against the District
carried by the legislative and sundry
civil bills. Thus as the bill stands the
District will pay about 100000 back to
the United States as a refund of moneys
advanced from the federal treasury.
1t was hoped that inasmuch as the
Commissioners made estimates for
large permanent improvements and ad-
hered strictly to the restrictions of the
current appropriation act. the Senate
committee would at least grant larger ad-
ditions to the current maintenance funds
of the various departments. If il did not
depart from the policy laid down by the
House and provide for the inauguration
of necessary large works. under a COM
prehenaive scheme of funds provision. In
view OF the Senate committees action
it becomes apparent that q separate
enactment is needed to readjust the
financial relations OF the District and the
federal government. and to establish the
local finances upon businesSlike basis.
IL is gratifying that the Senate COM
mittee struck from the bill the unwar-
ranted and dangerous provision of the
House that all of the appropriation o:
$1,000 for the maintenance and equip
ment of Fairgrounds should be paid ex-
clusiveiy from the District revenues. IL
was inconceivable that this infraction OF
the principle underlying the organic &C,
should be permitted TO go uncorrected.

Local Legislation.

The Senate yesterday held short ses-
sion as the board of aldermen of the
District of Columbia and transacted con-
siderable business. including some i'm
portant measures. 1t passed without de-
bate the bill to establish a probation and
parole system for the District. which is
the first of the enactments following the
recomm endations of the Jail commission
whose report was submitted year ago
With this bill approved by the House and
President it will be possible to relieve
the congestion upon the penal institutions
Of the District, to prevent the imprison-
ment of offenders who may be safely re-
leased on probation or discharged before
the expiration of their terms on parole
and to save a large amount of money
annually for the support of those de-
pendent upon the casual offenders who
are not of the criminal type.
Another measure of Importance to the
District which the Senate passed yester-
day was that authorizing the Commission
ers to accept donations of money and
land for the establishment of a branch
library at TakQma Park. Thus the SEN
ate once more records itself in favor of
the acceptance of Mr.. Carnegie's pro-
posal to establish branches of the Public
Library from time to time as the needs OF
the District develop. In order to insure a
continuance of this offer it is necessary
for Congress formally to accept the gift
of a single specific branch. and a need
for such a branch having been disclosed
at Takoma Park, the people of which
stand ready to furnish the necessary site,
it is proposed to locate the first brapch
there. This measure has been pending
for several years. the Senate having
passed 1t in the present form twice and
the House on one occasion having passed
a much broader bill. to which the Senate
would not then assent. Concurrent ac-
ton by the House is To be hoped tor al
this present session.
Numerous smaller measures were given
the approval of the Senate-a bill to ia
ciltate the manufacture of ice, several
street extension bills. a bill to establish q
home for feeble-luinded children, one to
make uniform the law of warehouse re-
cedpts in the District and measure to
relieve small secondhand bookshops OF
the license tax.
While the District has no specified day
in the Senate, 1t fares well in that cham
Der in the matter of securing considera-
ton for its necessary legislative PROPOSE
tons. The rule OF objections is seldom
invoked against measures that are ready
for action and upon which the District
committee has set it's seal of approval.

Bryan.

This prophet enjoys honor in his owI
country. To meet the wishes OF Mr.
Bryan. the Governor of Nebraska. who is
his friend and follower. will call the legis-
lature together in extra session to pass
upon the proposition of the initiative an
referendum. The proposition is described
by many democrats and republicans al
popuIistic, but it is no more so than
other propositions for which Mr. Bryan
stands. Besides. as there are seventeen
kinds of democrats, and an increasing
variety of republicans. what is a little
populism among those cropping for the
light and right?

The Farmer.

He used to wear his pantaloons
Inside his muddy boots:
He used to sing Outlandish tunes
And dress In misfit suits;
He used to rise at half-past four
And milk and hoe and pillow;
He doesn't do SO any more.
He's counting money now.
The callouses upon his hands
Were softened long ago;
For employees prepare his lands
For natures fertile show.
There is no sorrow in his eye
Nor anger on his brow.
Things are not as In days gone by
He's counting money now.

The yachting cruise which was given
yesterday for the benefit Of the Hawaii
was a complete and glorious success in
every way, and all those who took
part hope that another Que will be
given again before the yacht is started
ON her way to San Pedro.
Long before the time set for the
start people started to wend their way
down to the foot of Fort street, every
one bent on having a good time,
which they surely had The weather,
which had been doubtful very early in
the morning, looked as if it would
be the cause of a postponement, but
the sun came out in all its glary and
the good stiff breeze from N. e. soon
dispelled all fears
The start was made shortly after
ten O'Clock, the Hawaii being the last
one to leave, making the trip down in
one hour and thirty-seven minutes.
The wrens which were to race down to
Pearl Harbor for the cup given by
George Turner got away at nine O'Clock,
the fast wren owned by Mr.. Bowen
coming in first, with Charieys a close
second
As the Hawaii passed the steam
dredge South Bay, her whistles were
blown in long salutes to the pride Of
Hawaii, the passengers of the Hawai-
returning the salutes with housing
cheers. Captain Quick, of the Ed
ward Sewall, handled the Hawaii OH
the trip down, and, judging from his
way of handling a small boat, his ser
vices would be very valuable if they
could be secured for this year
/ AS soon as all the yachts arrived at
the harbor, the barge race between
Punahou and High School was run, the
Highs winning by a boat length amid
rousing cheers from tbA crowd. me

was made at four o'clock arriving
at the Oceanic wharf a few minutes
after eight. The committee who work
ed hard to make the day a success
were more than rewarded, and, if il
can be arranged, another cruise will be
made some time next month.

Before a large number OF spectators

Mckinley High School defeated Pu-
nahou and Kamehameha schools in
the second triangular interscholastic

afternoon, with "A IL points to their

while Kamehameha scored only II

it was some time after five before
the meet was over.
One island record was lowered and
several eQualled and, considering the
wind, the time in the track events

the participants were erected in the

of the most exciting events on the
program were the finals of the broad

POLO DOUBTFUL THIS YEAR.

One Of the well known polo play
ers, in talking the other day about
the game, remarked that it was very
doubtful if a tournament would be
played here this year. Some Of the
best players viii be out of town at
the usual time for the tournament,
and the great game will have to be
called off l am afraid" This news,
although not POSITIVE is enough 30
make some immediate action on the
part of the polo club necessary.
