The Patriot is out this morning making q
decidedly handsome appearance for a first issue.
The editorials are rather long to our notion,
but probably now that the paper has defined its
POSITION, it will not find it necessary to indulge
m two column leaders. OF course the Patriot
Is stiffiy democratic as was to be expected from
a paper starting out on that avowed mission.
In its business announcements Ii has the good
sense to declare that Ii will not solicit
advertisements by runners, believing this
practice TO be neither profitable nor credi-
table to . journal of good standing. This Is the
doctrine THE STAR has always maintained and
practieed with the most satisfactory result. The
news and local department of the Patri0, are
well filled, and the paper throughout bears the
marks Of ability and enterprise. We welcome
1t very cordially to the field of Washington
journalism.

DAWES on THE FISASoks AGAIN.-Say

the associated press dispatch
Dawes proceeded to address the committee
in reply to the speech of Butler yesterday
criticsing the former speech of Dawes on the
expenditures Of the Administration. Dawes
defended his former speech as true in every
particular and as proper for him tn make.
With book estimates in his hand he proceeded
to refer, item bv item, 20 the estimates OF the
various Departments, tn show that his orig
inal statement in regard TO The excess Of es-
Inmates aver appropriations last year were in
every respect correct. He INDICATED himself
from the charge of making the SPEECH from
improper motives, and related the experience
of himself and other members of the Commit
tee on Appropriations in visiting the various
departments and LAYING before them their sew
eral estimates and endeavorlug to procure a
reduction. He stated that while each head
Of department expressed regret for the large
balances, all declared that they could not be
reduced. He spoke about two hours, and
during the delivery of his speech the aisles
in his vicinity were crowded with large num-
bers. AT the conclusion the committee rose.
