UNEXPENDED APPROPRIATIONS
A GREAT deal of trouble is being experienced
in carrying on the operations or some of the
departments of the Government on account
of the decision of Attorney General Akerman
that the unexpended balances of former ap-
preparations cannot be used, but must be
covered" into the Treasury. The Attorney
General says that this is the only logical
Interpretation that can be placed upon the
very loosely-worded law passed by Congress
at its last session; and if this is the case, it
was his duty to decide as he did,
no matter what the consequences may
be. Strange to say, however, some of
the newspapers of the country are sneering at
the Attorney General for giving this opinion,
and are holding him responsible for the
trouble and annoyance occasioned by it, just
as if it were his duty to interpret the laws of
Congress according to the seeming
necessities of the hour, and not ac-
cording to their most obvious meaning.
The practice of using the balances of the un-
expended appropriations for purposes for
which Congress forgot to provide, according
to the discretion of the heads of department
or the chiefs of bureaus, was a very loose and
improper way of doing business, and Con-
gress wasperfectly justified in putting stop
to it. The truth is, however, that Congress
transacts its business in even Iooser style than
the executive branch of the Government,
and the consequence is that while the
departments are prohibited from using the
money remaining in their hands, no new ap-
propriations have been made for objects of
the very highest Importance, and national
works that ought to be pushed forward with
all possible rapidity are brought to a stand
still. For this state of affairs Congress is
alone to blame, and it is the height of folly
to throw the responsibility on the shoulders
of the Attorney-General. The last session
of Congress was trihed away in Improbable
discussions over matters of very little interest
and importance, and the real work of the
session was deferred until the very latest hour,
and left only half finished at the adjournment,
and it is certainly not a matter for surprise
that embarrassments of most serious char
acter should ensue. The opinion of the
Attorney General may create great inconve-
nience, but it will demonstrate the import
ance of clear and definite action on the part
of Congress with regard to such matters in
the future, and the greater the trouble that is
occasioned now the more likely it will be that
such a stat of affairs will not occur again.

In reply to the objections of member OF

public officials such instances occur Ia the
ratio .of ten to one Hundreds OF those
defec,ions were never heard Of. Clerks
sailed constantly out of the great custom

and were never prosecuted.
