at the lung session continuing
appropriations are made a. n d
money is provideil for objects
that arc not ordinarily deal t
with at the short session. For
example the appropriations for
rivers and harbors last yenr
were about .i0,()()t),()00 greaten
than those ni ide this year: the
public buildings bill of last ses

lor a large number of structures
which were uuthorized but not

to tho denifiiid of congress the
administration this winter sent
estimates of appropriations for
the bail lines and these have
been passed and the moicy ap
propriated So it would be posd
bldto go through a list ot items
which ought not to lutve been
adopted nt this session and which
have brought the totil uf ap-
propriations up to substantial

be 011 a normal basis, they
should have been much smaller.

One of the most astonishing
things is how flagrant abuses can
continue to live against uuiver
sal adverse criticism. Forexnm
ple, the sheep-killing diigs seem
to be one of the most useless
things in the wutld, and the Leg
islature ought to unanimously
p iss a law to kill theia in favor
uf sheep husbandry. Yet it is
never dun".
Again, the matter of carrying
concealed weapons is the basis of
a great many murders and
ho.niciJcs. There is a law, of
course, against carrying conceal-
led weapon., but it is not elfec
tive One way to make it effec
tive won! I ha to ma'se it against
the law to sell a pistol except to
a man who takes uut a license tu
buy one for use in the house, and
another lor carrying it in his
pocket, and requiring a fee for
each license. Ytt nothing is ever
done about it.
The crime at Whiteville. seems
to have beta base 1 upon the fact
that there were two pistols lying
around the house loose. Char
