THE THREE MILLION BILL

Mr.. King, of Alabama, known as the old
mad OF the Senate, in the debate on the propose,
t'on to place three millions of dollars in the hands
OF the President, that he might be better enabIedio
provoke war with France, asserted that the COD
si''o''on did not require specific appropriations
anu 10 sustain this assertion referred to the prac+
'lce under the administrations of Washington and
the elder Adams when he said " all appropriations
were generat-applying a gross sum for the e1-
pend'turc ofthe dieren, departments OF the govern
mcnt mndcr The direction o. the P,cs,den.j and 1t
was not, Continued Mr.. King) until after MI
JEFFERSON came into Office, that, at his recommeesa'
!'on, SPECIFIC appropriations were adopted Even
mao ms been true, It would seem strange that a.
prominent defender Of this administration should
attempt to find precedents for its conduc. in tho
abuses which were rectihed by Mr.. Jefferson But
IT is not true. A correspondent Of the National
inteligencer states that during the whole Of Gen.
Wash'ngton's administration, the appropriations
were spccifc'-and farther that the only la"
passed during Mr.. Jeffersons administration for
the more specific accountability of the public
money, was passed on the 81 of March, 1909, tho
saA day of his second term Of Office the principal
object of which was to prevent money appropriate
from one branch Of expenditure in u Department
from being applied to another branch in the same
department. So much for one specimen OF the AL
ALBANIA Senator's ignorance Now for another.
MR.. k'ng pretended TO justify the three million
by asserting, that, durng Mr.. Jefer'
sons administration an appropriation almost as
great IN amount, and resting upon similar prlncl'
pies, had been made This assertion is refucd by
me same writcr--whO says:
The short history Of the two million appropr'a-
