REPRESENTATIVE DAWES is a true
reprepresentative of the people in his
efforts to cut down the departmental
estimates for the current year. The
present Congress can not vote appro-
priations to the amount Of these esti-
mates without forfeiting the conf
dence of their constituents. We say
this boldly. because we know hal we
speak the feelings Of the Republicans
In this part of the State. Every
Indiana Congressman who votes
away money upon extravagant es-
Inmates, and for objects which may
be dispensed with for years to come,
such, for instance, as the League
Island project, may expect to be re.
pudiated by his constituents. Party
lines have heretofore been drawn
strongly. and many Republicans have
voted for men and measures they
did not fully approve, because of
other interests that would be
jeopardized by the success of the
Democratic party. Now. however,
that the work of reconstruction is
about completed by the ratification of
the Fifteenth Amendment, it will
prove dangerous to try the strength of
their allegiance to party too far. They
will not tolerate extravaganza, and
ought not. The burdens of the peo-
pie are heavy, but so long as they
know that the money is honestly ap-
piled In the reduction Of the National
debt, and thereby tending to restore
the finances Of the country to a condi-
ton that permits stability. they will
endure them cheerfully. But let it
be understood that the money result
ing from high taxation is squandered
in unnecessary Improvements or
among extravagant officials, aHd they
will very properly abandon the party
which does not repudiate such prae-
tees. 1t is time to talk plainly. We
hope eyeey Republican paper in the
West will speak out promptly and de-
cidedly on this point, so that Republi-
can Congressman cannot be in doubt
as to the position of their constitu-
ents.

Commissioners and the money OF the
people to prosecute the object Of his
hatred. With this fact before the
Board, they repeatedly sent for Judge
ROBINSON to know the law and the
evidence upon which he based his
expectation of recovering the money
named in his omnibus complaint. To
these requests, as we learn, the Judge
turned a contemptuous ear. The
question then REQUIRED to the Board
not. as the Judge would have the peo-
pie believe, whether VIcToR BIsCH
got twenty thousand dollars of the
peoples moaey hal he had no right
to hold"-but, whether the Commits
sioners should spend several thousand
dollars in a prosecution which was
likely to result in nothing but the
expediture of money. The Board had
the moro reason to hesitate before
employing several lawyers for such
prosecution in that their own
Attorney did not believe there was
anything in the proposed prosecution.
We insist that the Board acted wise
". They had no right to spend the
peoples money upon the mere ipse
dipit Of lawyers anxious for fat fees.
IF the Judge and his associates could
not or would not point out the specific
items in which money could be recov-
cred from the Auditor, and the law
by which the money could be re-
covered, tho Commissioners could not
in justice to themselves and the peo-
pie they represent, or the Auditor
himself. who. at least, should be pre-
sumed to be innocent until found
guilty, do anything but dismiss the
suit.
We have insisted all the time that
if VICTOR BIsoH had got money un-
lawfully out of the County Treasury
he should be made to disgorge. But
we insist equally strong that the law,
and the evidence of such fraudulent
transaction, ought to be laid before
the Commissioners before they in
volve the county in a law suit %involv-
ing the expenditure of additional
money.
We say that Judge ROBINSON is
responsible for all failures. He was
responsible for dismissing the suits
brought upon indictments of his own
procuring, and the reason he assigns
for their dismissal is frivolous and
~petifogging. The suit on which he
has been engaged for some time has
been fixed for this day, (Thursday)
and a "struck jury" empan-
neIed to try the same. IF the
trial does not come off or is
permitted to go by default in BIscH's
favor, Judge ROBINSON will be re-
sponsible and no one else. We are
aware that he is anxious to get well
out of the scrape, but for our part we
do not intend that he shall shirk a
responsibility of his own choosing
He has charged corruption and fraud
Unfortunately upon public officers,
and asserted that others are trying to
defraud public justice. Let him make
good ais assertions or stand before
the community, as he will, a mali
cious defamer of better men.
