The Civil Appropriation Bill.

Congress, In its praiseworthy desire of re-
should still be cautious, remember
ing the maxim "penny wise aud pound foolish"
and be careful that in Topping Off appropriations
they do not embarrass the Departments and do
more evil than good. Appropriations that are
necessary for the machinery Of the various
branches of Government to be kept energetically
moving should at once be made, and all hesitation
thrown aside. There are two Departments
which will be seriously affected II proper sums
are not voted to meet their exigencies, viz; the
Post Once and Agricultural Departments. 1t Is
the duty of Senators and Representatives to
earnestly inquire into facts In the case ere they
cut down the appropriations asked for BY the
Postmaster General and Commissioner OF Agrl-
culture, for upon the amounts solicited depends
In a great measure the regularity and success Of
these branches OF the public service. The Post
Ohicc Department, as we understand, has been
well and economically managed the past few
years, and with judlcious Congressional en-
couragement will not only sustain itself, but
yield a revenue toward reducing the expenses of
the general Government.
Where new post Office routes are establish ed
agents are necessary where new post Offices are
located postmasters must have charge; and these
are constantly increasing. 1t cannot be expected
that the revenue will cancel the expenses and
yet Congress establishes these routes and Offices
andfaiis to make appropriations for the support
OF the same. We hope more generous view
will be taken of tho matter, and that the Legis.
latiye branch OF the Government is fully alive
to the Importance of sustaining most important
department Of our public service.
The Agricultural Department also requires
certain appropriations toward Its support, and,
the new Commissioner, Hon. Horace Capron,
has been very moderate in his solicitations. II
is not necessary to speak Of the Importance at
tached to this Department, and we only hope thai
Congress are fully aware of it, and will show by
their legislation their appreciation Of an indis
pensable publ 10 bureau.
