Extravagance in Congress.

The San Jose Courier, "loyal" journal,
thus speaks of the reckless extravaganza of
Congress:
Whoever should visit the city of Wash
ngton and observe the action Of the House
of Representatives during the session of Con.
gress, without knowledge of the condition
Of the country, would suppose there was no
such thing as war, and imagine the country
in possession of unlimited wealth which they
were commissioned to throw away. During
the session just closed, and even every ses'
sion since the commencement of the rebel
lion, there has been no disposition to econo
mize the resources of the country, but on
the contrary, they have been distributed with
a most prodigal hand upon every project
which solicited appropriations. Money is
voted for purposes which in times of peace
would have been rejected; fortiications have
been built where there was no need of them;
half million of dollars were appropriated
to defend the city Of Washngton; tens of
millions have been voted for the construction
of immense canals; for the payment of clam
orous idlers who ho,d office and do little or
nothing except brag and bluster-draw their
pay and ask for more; the merest oAicia
beggars who could not be induced to forsake
their places even though their salaries were
placed at half their present amount. This
lavish expenditure of money is astonishing
Half the appropriations made are for pur
poses not necessary at this time. This IS
done in many cases to the exclusion of mern
torous claims, especially if they come up in
the shape Of private demands for services
rendered., or money expended in behalf of
the Government Whenever claims of this
kind are presented there are usually loud
protesations of desire to retrench the ma
TONS expenditures, and the claimant is
obliged to see his hard earned wages cast
aside to give place to the mos. extravagant
donations, under the plea of public necessity.
The House Of Representatives is free in its
expenditures, and never in the history of the
Government has there been such an utter
disregard Of all precedents in disbursing the
public fuuds. Economy seems to have been
disregarded at the very time the country
needed It most. The greatest industry has
been displayed in devising methods Of squan,
dering the nations money and the substance
of the people has been scattered to the winds.
There must be limit to this; a point beyond
which Congress cannot go. How long it
will be before check is put upon it no one
can tell. The most judicious methods of
raising money should be devised, and when
once obtained, it should be expended with a
careful prudent hand. There is large gap
between income and expense on the NationaI
ledger which need not have existed, had
there been economy and circumspection on
the part Of those whose business it was to
balance the books and keep within bounds

THE HORRORS OF INDIG EsTION.

You complain of your stomach. unfortunate dys-
peptic; but ought not your stomach to complain
ofyou2 Possibly the pangs you endure are Simply
the stomsch's method of taking revenge upon you
for neglecting and abusing it. Perhaps you have
never made effort to improve it's condition, but
on the other hand are continually examining itwith
unwholesome and incop gruous food. Have you
ever tried HosTR7TER's STOMACH BITTERs a proper
diet and regular meals? The Btters In a week
would put your digestive apparatus in perfect
der. sate the flow of bile in accordance with the
laws of health, and produce just so much sperient
action as would be necessary for your good; and
when you were once all right, judicious and reg
ular dieting, with little of the Tonic now and
then, would keep You so. If you have neglected
these means of cure, don t blame your stomach for
its rebellion. 1t is merely natures hint that she
wants help. If you glect it, the next thing may
be Innamation, or scirrhus Cancer, or some other
violent and dangerous dsea.e. There is such a
thing as being toe late in these matters. HOSTEL
