reduce the salaries of some Of the high

Others. After conversation with Senators
they have become convinced that bill
fayoring reduction or abolition would
meet with resistance and defeat in the
Senate. If the bills are presented with the
same figures that passed last year they will
pass with but little debate in either House

time honored extravaganza is not OF the

United States army already numbers over
two thousand men; A greater disposition
