The amounts appropriated for 1901,
were slightly altered by the subsequent
amendment of bills-fOr instance, the
Indian appropriation was increased more
than 81, 600, OOO-but no material change
was made in the aggregate amount of ap-
preparations. The expenses were in
creased instead of diminished by the last
Congress, and that fact should be kept
steadily before the people. The public
can form some idea of the business of the
claim to ECONOMY" set up by this Ad-
ministration by a glance at the official
figures Just furnished by the Secretary of
I-.---If--nnI--- -A--E-.l- GRIAandi-
lures Of the Government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1860, were
$63, ops, 7S0, while those for the fiscal
year Just closed amount to the enormous
sum Of 1922, 113, 1868. If from this latter
amount be deducted the interest paid
upon the public debt (S127, 7O2, $3.50, the
cost of collecting the internal revenue
C$7, ZOO, OO0,) and an estimated increase
on account Of army and navy pensions Of
$50, 900, 600 (the gross amount paid pen
si0ncrs the last year being put down by
the Department at $4,000, 900 in round
numbers), there will remain the sum of
$I37,4lO, 931 as the amount of expendi-
lures beyond those of the legitimate re-
suit of the civil war. The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
referring to this comparison, says
''Surely there are no substantial reasons
why the Government outlay should be
greater, at least to any considerable extent,
now with the exception as to the items
named) than in 1860. We are at pro
found peace with all the world, and yet
our expenditures the past year, after de-
Quoting every item proper to be deducted
in this connection, have been more than
double those of the year Immediately pre-
ceding the war 1t is sheer impudence,
therefore, in the Radical party, in the
face Of these facts, to claim credit for an
economical administration of the govern
ment, or for the apologist of the Radical
majoritics in Congress to pretend that a
single step has been taken in the direction
of reducing the public burdens dy
leSsening the public expenses. To
meet these expenditures $408, s31, 372
were wrung from the hard hands of the
industrial classes. The difference be-
tween this sum and the amount expended,

TEE PENSION ERAUDS-STEEL
AFTER RODERICK.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, Radical,) writes I'M
der date of July 30:
AS already intimated, the Pension Of
fee has found a number of well known
persons engaged in swindling that office
and pensioners, and is now taking active
legal measures against them. The mem
bcrs Of Congress whose cases are now in
the hands OF CliCeTs, with authority to
examine more fully and make arrests in
each case, are ROdCrick Il. Butler Of
Tennessee, and Judge Wimpy, member
elect from Georgia. Both appear, from
the official documents, to have Endorsed
the names of persons, without authority,
unon checks for pensions, and to have
retained the money. In one of Buffers
cases. an Office brief sets forth that he re-
ccivcd a check here in Washington for
Sf73, payable to the order of widow in
North Carolina, in whose behalf he was
acting rs attorney. Butter Endorsed his
name and drew. Here tie matter was
discovered by tie pcnsioner complaining
Ia fhe Office that she had never received
her certificate or any money. Butier
pleaded various matters in explanation,
and finally filed power of attorney from
the woman, dated prior to the actof 1869,
the time he had Endorsed the check, and
also an affidavit dated April, 1870, setting
forth that in her first letter she had writ
ten under a misrepresentation. On in
specting these papers it appeared that they
l,otb 6noy, written on the same sheet
and then torn apart. The certificate OF
court attached to them was affixed by the
clerk, who is Buffers son.

quiry as to how 50 many munitions Of

calls them, in his employ, Gen. Mott be-
ing at the head. France and England are
watch-dogs of the Suez Canal, and snarl

these powers enough to do for some time,

STILL ANOTHER IMPRESSION.

The Columbia Herald, another ''of
our best and most reliable exchanges"
says:
The history of all great parties which
have ruled the minority for years is that
the prime cause of disintegratiOn is found
within themselves. Their downfall is
brought about by men of more ambition
than patriotism, who create division in
the ranks by raising a new issue or reviV-
inc dead ones Men are always found
who endeayor to lead the party into eX-
IRENE measures in order to glorify them
selves, while others prefer the weak
knecd policy, leaving these who prefer
the Happy medium OF sound Judg-
ment and common sense with no re-
course but TO follow ore wing Or
the other. The old Wing party was
broken up in this way, and likewise the
Democratic party before the war. And
now the great Observation-Disclosures
vatiye party, which is just fairly rising
into power with healing in its wings, is
threatened with the same distntegrating
clements. There are those who cling to
the principles Of by-gone years, made
obsolete by war and subjugation; and ex-
treuists on the other wing, while they are
far more liberal to the common foe, Radl-
caIism, hate with the perfect hatred OF
ante-bellum partisans, all who did
not belong to their party in the
old times. The latter wing has It's
oracle at Nashville, which, being
very influential, threatens TO rend asunder
the Democratic Wing Conservative party,
and let the hungry Radical hordes into
power again, under guise of some white
washed name. A paper that will persist

lieying the nation of its present incubus,

choice explosives of men who have served

WHAT RADICAL RULE MEANS.

The Washington correspondent of the |
New York Tribune wrote on the 2lst OF |
May last as follows:
s'Themanner in which partisan kilograms
from the South have been manufactured |
and published in the North, to further the
personal designs of inscriptions and am
bilious men, was well shown up on the
developments brought out in reference to
the Washington Chronicle during the
progress of the recent Georgia investiga
ton. The same game is now going on in
connection with the internal affairs of
| the other Southern States. 1t is believed
thst the ensuing elections in the South
| will result, in some instances, not perhaps
| in the defeat of the Republican party,
| but in the defeat of certain individuals
who are and have been using that party
| as means only to their own selfish ad
vancement. Foreseeing this, the effort is
to get up an excuse to declare martial
1 law, the local newspapers in the interest
of the men alluded to are teeming with
accounts of 'outrages' This is particu-
larry the case in North Carolina, and no
surprise need be felt ct q daily dish of
horrors from that State, served up in the
| Chronicle, 'for, said one of the North
Carolina Senators, we intend to use the
military, and, in justification, we must
get these statements disseminated through
the North. p"
Here was Radical waning The people
of the North, more than two months ago,
of what the Radical carpet-baggers and
scalawags in North Carolina would do to
carry that State at the canning election.
How truly has his prediction been fulfilled!
And what state of public affairs is that
in which the Governor of State is found
capable of lending himself to such 8
scheme-and what the condition Of the
political party who resort to it This is
a specimen of Radical Reconstruction
This is their Interpretation of ''repub-
lican form Of government" When like.
/, | ly to be overthrown in e State, they cal
out the military resort to martial law
arrest citizens because they will not wor
ship the Radical dynasty; destroy the
writ of habeas corpus; spurn the decision:
of the highest tribunal, and inauguratt
condition of anarchy and lawlessness!
