Thus it appears thatthe Reformers have made the
diplomatic service cost the People in year. SEW
ENTY-sEyEN THOUSAND DOLLARS than it had

we adverted yesterday, and now advert again to
particular circumstance connected with this shame
less waste OF the public money. On the 10th OF
February last year, friend of General jackson af
ter stating that he had been informed that our min
listers to France and Mexico were about returning
nome and referring to the appropriation bill of 1895
lot Precedents OF approprationsat the commencement
OF new Administration, of salaries and outfits fol
our ministers in Europe and America, moved thai
the sum of Siaa875 should be appropriated for thu
salaries and outfits Of our Ministers to foreign coun
tries. The House, either lot psrceivine that the
precedents were applicable, on other grounds no,
admitting the force ofthe urged by the Iaoy

and 1t was got. His account of the business is con
tanned IN the following conundrum extracted from
MS estimates, transmitted to Congress- of the dipo-
matte expense for the present year
or Quilts OF Ministers Of the United States to Great m
tan france SPAIN and Colombia and Charge dies AfaIes

This confused jargon would be absolutely unin
tei!Igibe. but for the clue to its meaning which
Is afforded by the fact that Congress HAVING pro-
vIded no money to pay for Gen. Jackson's un-
necessary missions, he took it out of. the continent
fund; fund which the Committee on the Ex-
penditures in the Department of State, in April
1929, say In their Report, it is an act of susur-
patton" to make subject to such purpose.
