Nearly all sesrions end up in rush and bu end unprofitable conclusion, but it veems ar though the record would be broken this time. There are twelve appropriation Dilla by the provisions of which the government isto be operated during the coming fiscal year, and although Congress must perforce adjourn at noon of Saturday next but two of these bills fortifications and arimy—have finally passed both houses, and only one of there, the firat pamed, has received the presidential! approval ‘The Military Academy and the District of Columbia bills are in conference, but the legis- lative, the diplomatic and cousular and the sundry civil bills have not reached the con-| ference committees, although all threo have Deen passed. The pension bil! has gone through the House and was reported to the Senate, while the agricultural, naval, post office and deficiency bills have not yet been acted upon the Senate committee on appropriations. | Of course these measures will become law, but that they will be less effective by reason of the | haste with. which they must be bandied eannot but be evident to any one who! gives the subject even the slightest con- sideration.

Altogether it seems, even to the most coneervative. as though this year of grace was going to be ex- tremely prosperous eo far as the District of | Columbta is concerned. | ————— | It now seems certain that a greater naval spectacle than any this country ever had oppor- | ‘© | tunity to behold will mark the opening of the | world’s Columbian exposition. M: ments have been invited to participate in the review, all or nearlyall have accepted, and some of the vessels are already on their way to | the rendezvous in Hampton Roads. Having invited other nations to join in the celebration, | which, in many respects, promises to be the most noteworthy in modern history, it behooves | Congress as the keeper of the public cash to make ample provision for a creditable display on the part of our own navy and for the recep- tion and entertainment of the country’s guests. —— The manner in which a Brooklyn ferry boat ran down and sank a revenue cutter is another revelation of the latent aggressiveness in craft necessary. If the traffic boats continue to dis- ablo the fighting boats it may yet be deemed expedient to put the Mary Washington in the navy. ———_+ ++ —__ It may be that the exaggerated idea preva- lent in Europe concerning the money to be made in this country comes from reading the accounts of large private incomes that men forsake here in order to accept public appoint- ments, ——_+ ++ —__ The fact that it does not pay to take the pub- second Congress can exist, and among the evil consequences we may look for will bo failure in some really important legislative proposition, simply because congressional procrastinat!e: made calm scrutiny impossible. Present metk- | ods, orrather lack of method, will run on the lot- | tery idea—perhaps you may draw a prize, but the chances are decidediy against you. So far | as the District of Columbia is concerned there is but little to hope for. Half a dozen import- ‘ent local measures are in various stages of con- sideration, but the most recklers would har: dare bet on the fate which may be theirs, Per- Baps some Senator or Representative may be found who will defend present conditions, but the whereabouts of a basis for his argument is not now apparent.

Proposition which cannot fail to become in- stantaneously popular among those distin- guished statesmen who occupy seats in the halls ©f Congress. He proposes the formation of = commission which shall be authorized to pro- ceed to Honolulu and to any other portions of ‘any of the other islands in the Hawaiian group, there to secure information as to the precise Condition of affairs upon which to base recom- mendations as to annexation or non-annexa- tion. Those who have hoped for imme- diate annexation will find danger in Mr. Neumann's idea, for there is nothing so dear to the legislative heart as an excursion to some far-away region. Everybody will hope to bea member of the party and there will be almost unanimous encouragement of the Neu- mann proposition by those willing servants of the peopie whose committees have not yet ro- ceived permission to draw without limit during the coming summer upon the contingent funds of the Senste and House. Mr. Neumann may bea pilgrim and stranger, but be knows as ‘much as some natives. +e The report of the conference committee on the District of Columbia appropriation bill is now due, and when it makes its appearance there will probably be debate upon the liquor | license amendment framed by Senator Hunton | and inserted in the bill on motion of Senator ‘MeMillan. No true friend to law and order will do otherwise than endeavor to have re- tained in the measure thet simple yet effective | Provision.
