The President complains that the
Freedmen's Bureau costs too much
money, while we are of opinion
that its absence would cost us a great
deal more. Those who do. not think
that the President himself is too ex-
pensive an article. will find no OBJ
lection, of course, to the extravagant
escort the President takes with him,
on his political funeral tour to the
tomb Of Douglas. The procession,

meraries who are paid by the job, is,

OF the Journey uDouglas-ward, and we
