Carnation Day.

Carnation day has become one of the
or anniversaries of the coun-
try, and although it began in an obscure
way, the observance of 1t spreads. 1t is
a good sentiment. The authorship of the
idea has not been determined. and per-
haps cannot be fixed with certainty. The
custom originated among some of the
personal friends of Mr.. Mckinley, who
gave to one another this outward
symbol of their remembrance of his birth
day. Carnation day in America is dis
tinguished from primrose day in England
in that the former signalizes a birthday
and the latter a death day-the anniver-
sary of the death of Benjamin Disraeli
Lord Beaconsfield.
The wearing of carnations on this day
is a happy sentiment. for it is we'll to
keep alive in the minds of Americans, a
busy, quick-living people. the memory of
so good a man and statesman as Mr.. Nc
kinley.

District Appropriations.

The District of Columbia appropriation
bill reported to the House OF Representa-
tives today carries the sum of 11.c21-9Ei
which is S9I?, 80; more than carried
in the District appropriation bill for the
fiscal year of 1913 upon being reported to
the House January II, 1912, and which is
S.I,l 81 more than the amount of the APP
preparation finally approved for the gen
eral expenses of the District government
for the current fiscal year.
When the appropriation bill for the
fiscal year of 1913 was reported it car
ried the sum of $1O3O2. POS. exclusive of
the water revenues, which was S2,252,-
$3.50 less than the estimates submitted
by the Commissioners and 81 ga. 80
less than the then current law. That bill
was. however the most unsatisfactory
District appropriation measure ever re-
ported by the committee on appropria-
tons to the House.
There is a suggestion of satisfaction
in the fact that the present bill carries
something more than half a million
dollars more than the current law, but
this satisfaction is modified by the fact
that the appropriation under the cur
rent law is far below the legitimate
and actual requirements of the Dis
trict.
The appropriation provided for in the
bill reported today is 81, 90, :,;333 30 less
than the estimates submitted to Congress
by the Commissioners, who in preparing
them complied strictly with the law re-
quiring them to estimate expenditures only
TO the extent of the estimated revenues
The Commissioners in applying the pro-
spective revenues to the municipal needs
under the law have been compelled to
cut out many worthy projects of public
Improvement. which would have been
wisely cared for if the revenues had suf
feed: and have cut to the bone in their
recommendations concerning this budget
apportionment. The downward revision
pared, by an amount exceeding million
and a half is very serious reduction.
4 distinctly better start is made this
year than last. Developing and con-
structive legislation is provided affecting
schools, bridges, parks, the water front
and fre-extinguishing equipment. In
stead of universal cutting and crippling
there is a measure of upbuilding of the
municipal service. And for every such
indication and evidence of fair and liberal
dealing with the nations ward by its
exclusive legislature Washington is heart
lily grateful.
