WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The various appropriation
hills contain every year more than to separate items
providing money for contingent expenses Every
department has from 5000 to $4,000 to
spend in this way. Many of the bureaus
have their own separate contingent funds,
and almost every custom house, mint,
post Office and internal revenue office in the country
has set aside O sum of money ont of which 1t pays
for soap and candles if not for landaulets and
stylish bay horses. The only way 10 secure
an honest disbursement of this money,
the expenditure of which is left to the
discretion of public officers is TO require
them to report annually what they have done with
their contingent fund of the year before and for the
proper Committee of the House carefully to scan
these reports and to critcise them if anything wrong
rs found in them. Congress has always appreciated
tine necessity of this oversight and passed an act
providing for it as early az lSO9 In 1885, the follow
ing additional act was passed
