He was bound to Betio, Garawa ISL

with very bad weather and went adrift

A Just District Appropriation Bill.

In eliminating from the District of Columbia
appropriation bill it passed by the House
the Johnson amendment, which would reduce to
chaos the system of government under which the
Capital OF the United States has been progressing
and expanding since 1873 the Senate Committee on
Appropriations did what was expected of tits
duty, not only toward the people of Washington
but toward those of the whole country whose de-
sire it is to see their Capital grow and improve.
In adding $I,o28576 to the measure, bringing
the total appropriation up to $I234I GA the COM
mittce still further emphasized its appreciation Of
the fact that if the Capital is to be maintained in
bcfttng manner it must be given fair and rea-
sonable aid not niggardly appropriations. The
Senate committee not unmindful of the need
Of economy, for the it added to the bill is
urgently necessary for District governmental pur-
poses. 1t brings the total to within 100000 of
what the District Commissioners asked an es6-
mate which could only be regarded as modest and
which well within the amount justified by the
District revenues. For it must be remembered that
only half the appropriated by Congress comes
from the Federal Treasury. The other half is paid
in taxes cheerfully contributed by the people of
Washington.
The committee has reported bill that well
merits the confidence of the Senate which as
a body has always shown its appreciation of the
needs of the Capital and given them full and fair
consideration. There need be little apprehension
of serious opposition to the measure as reported
in the Senate When it goes to conference how
ever. undoubtedly determined effort will be made
to have the destructive Johnson rider restored.
The District again will have need of the support
OF all its friends the House SIDE where high
regard for its interests is, to say the least not
unanimous, and where understanding of its ne
cessities is less general than in the Senate. This
friendly support should be earnestly appealed to
and aroused by every one having interest in the
Nations Capital Since the appropriation bill went
from House to Senate some members of the former
body no doubt have found time to inform them
selves more in detaail to its provisions, and
if so they must now be awake to the disaster with
which the Johnson rider menaces the Capital The
influence of these members is important 1t may
mean a complete victory for the admirably just and
statesmanlike measure completed yesterday by the
Senate committee.

A "Pork Bill" Item.

Among the appropriations which Democratic
Congress is asked to. make in the pending Rivers
and Harbors bill is one of 100000 for St Lucie
Inlet FIa where there is population of thirty-two
persons and, according to the army engineers, mo
water-borne commerce in this locality" Still,
some of our Philadelphia Republican bosses spend
few weeks there in winter, and perhaps they have
a motorboat or two. Doubtless they would be
pleased to have the improvement made, especially
by Democrats, who would have to stand the odium
for such wicked waste of money. The complai-
sanee of the Democrats in the matter is harder to
understand.-Philadelphi Record,
