Total

Giving credit for this large sum, and
the regular supplies would foot up less
than one hundred and forty-six millions,
which is healthy showing under adverse
surroundings. The entire appropriations
made at the extra and regular sessions
amounted to s172,9OS,165 In this ag-
gregate is included s14,534, 672 for def
ciencies, extending back to 1870, and
down to 1873. But among the so-ealled
deficiencies are items which do not be-
long to that category at all, which swell
the figures 81, 1925, 900, and include the
star mail service, the cost of the fire in the
Patent Office, with new models, the silver
vault for the New York Sub-Treasury,
expenses of the extra session, and to meet
the possible falling of in the revenues of
the Post Office. Advances were also made
under the head Of deficiencies for public
buildings TO the extent of 81 ,122, 900, of
$500, 900 for subsistence to the army, and
of further sum of 81 100000 for the
same purpose.
An actual deficiency existed of about
81 100000 for the pay of the navy "di-
verted" by Secor Robson, and of nearly
S4,000,000 for contracts made without au-
thority of law. Many of these items were
stale and ought not to have been paid.
The navy contract job was carried through
by combination, the chiefs of which on
both sides are likely to retire to private
life, but doubtless with consolation enough
to make exile endurable. The old scores
which the Republicans left as legacies, are
now sponged out, and if there be an hon
est and earnest desire for retreuchment
next year, the House of Representatives
will have an opportunity to cut deep and
to initiate a system which will bring down
the expenditures to a real peace basis
Altogether, we have cause to be grateful
for what has been done in that direction,
by House embarrassed by Fraudulent
Administration and by prOdigal Senate.

Considering the anomalous condition Of
politics at Washington during the recent
session of Congress, with ! fraudulent
President antagOuized byshis own party in
the Senate, and supported by bare frac-
ton Of it in the other branch; with Re
publican Senate prDverbhI for extrava-
gance, and with a Democratic House
checked by faction holding the balance
of power on, measures of reform and re-
trenchrnent ike the army, the Robson
claims, and other jobs, the results are far
better than was anticipated. That is
to says the resolute Democratic mana
gers of the House on the committees
Of conference were able in the end to re-
strain the attempted prOdigality in appro-
priations, and to ent of numerous excres-
cences which the Senate had attached to
the supply bills.
I There are eleven regular appropriation
bills, which form the basis Of grants for
the public service. and for which estimates
are annually made by the Secretary of the
Treasury, They are known in legislation
under the following heads Military
Academy; Publications Consular and
Diplomatic; Navy; Post Office; Pension;
Indian; Army; Legislative, judicial and
Executive; sandfy Civil; and River and
Harbor. The table below condenses in a
summary the estimates, the action of each
House separately, and the laws on these
various measures in the aggregate,
EtiEldtes. As Pussod 1s Pussod LGus
sl7s-e ,2ss sl4z6s7.7s9 slel $500 sl57 2OOsss
s9o1dgO0 addfuonnl estimates were sent In not in
Guided in the regular book from the Treasury.
[ 1t appears by these figures that the
House appropriated twenty-eight and a
half millions less than the estimates; that
the Senate raised the bills of the House
more than fourteen millions, and that the
laws as passed exceeded the House grants
by nearly ten millions. In the last Con-
gress, when Mr.. Randall commenced the
work of reducing the public expenditures,
the Senate struck of ten millions from.his
budget of economy, and now they have
repeated that act of hostility To- the same
extent. These are the naked facts.
To appreciate the great change that has
taken place since the House passed out of
Republican control,s and De Golyer. Gar
field and his confederates ceased to hold
the purse string, a comparison between
the appropriations made during their rule
and since then viii tell the story most Eff
fectively and clearly. A period Of three
years of Republican and Of three years of
Democratic ascendancy win best repre-
sent eaeh7sido fairly, and under similar
conditions Of peace, when public policy
and duty to the taxpayers required the
strictest retrenchments In every branch of
the public service. The table below gives
the totals:
