Limiting the Expense to the Government
ItvO Thousand Dollars Only to be Give,.

Washington Special (March 10y to Chicago
Times.
very important provision was included
in the appropriations of the last session of
Congress for the sundry civil expenses of the
government. It limits the amount to be
paid for the expenses to contestants and con-
testees for seats in the House of Representa-
tives to $4,000. In the same law there is
appropriated $46,616 to be paid to con-
testants and contestees in the last Congress.
Of these there are twenty-six. Including
this amount, there has been paid out on &C
count of these election contests nearly $780,
900. This is an average of over $4,000 to
each contestant or contestee. Not half of
these cases have been determined by the
House, although in every case a
large quantity of testimony has
been taken involving great expense
to the government. In the majority of in
stances this expense was useless, as it did
not result in unseating the contestee, or in
any action being taken whatever by the
House. A great deal of the testi mony was

of this was irrelevant. At all events the

cost the government over $4,000. Had the
new law been in force the contested cases of
the Forty-ffth Congress would have cost the
government only $4,000.
The new law requires that before any sum
whatever shall be paid to contestant or
contested he shall file with the clerk of the
committee on elections full and detailed
account of his expenses, accompanied by
vouchers and receipts for each item, which
account and vouchers shall be sworn to by
the person presenting the same, and no
charges for witness fees shall be allowed in
their accounts unless in strict conformity
with law. Thus By these provisions large
and unnecessary drain upon the treasury will
be stopped in the future.

conference of Mr.. Blackburn's friends was
held at his headquarters tonight in regard
to reports circulated by telegraph and
otherwise, to the effect that in contin-
gency Blackburn may withdraw and some
one else be substituted in his stead. The
whole thing was unanimously denounced as
a device of enemies rather than friends of
Blackburn, and it was directed to be au-
thoritively announced that the issue was un
alterably made as between Blackburn and
Randall, and that if any dark horses were to
be brought out it must be by the withdrawal
of Randall instead of Blackburn.

CLEVELAND, March l4.-Right Rev. Bishop
Gilmour has issued pastoral letter to the
clergy Of this diocese3 which condemns the
Irish World, published in New York, as being
antagonistic to true Catholic principles. It
condemns labor unions for their secrecy; for
bids Catholic parents, under threats of excom-
munication, sending children to public schools
where Catholic parochial school is easy of ac-
cess; and gives the Hibernians severe repri-
mand for not allowing priests to act as their
spiritual advisers, and for not allowing them at
all their meetings. The bishop urges upon
Catholics the necessity of subscribing to the
diocesan Catholic journal in preference to all
others, and repeats his order to young Catholics
not to marry outside their religious faith. His
letter concludes with unimportant suggestions
as to funerals, etc.
