EIGHTY MILLIONS MORE.

Having passed the River and Harbor Appro-
priatiOn bill, Congress has committed itself to
expenditures very much larger than were au-
thorzed by a Democratic majority for the last
fiscal year. Members have considered that
matter, no doubt, and are prepared to give &C
counts to constituents for an increase of
$SO,000,O00 in expenditures. If their con-
stituents are satisfied, objection from other
quarters will be barren. Nominations will
not be quite equivalent to elections this year,
if constituents are displeased, bat the usual
presumption is that the party having ma
jority in each district will be able to carry its
candidate, whether his Congressional record is
good or bad. Somebody, however, will have
to face the responsibility for an increase of
about $SO,O00,000 in the expenditures. 1t
is now reported that the increase in the APP
preparations for pensions will be about
$50, 000,0 besides deficiencies, and the in
crease in river and harbor appropriations is
$7,300,O00. In almost every other bill there
is some increase 81, 600 900 in the Legisla-
tive bill, 100000 in the Sundry Civil bill,
So, 700, 600 in the Postal bill, and considerable
amounts in the other Appropriation bills. For
this increase, said to be about SIS, 100000
already, members will be called upon to give
some explanation to constituents.
They have an ugly job before them. 1t will
he shown, on authority of Republican officials
of unquestionable character, that the Pensions
Act involves a dishonest expenditure of many
millions. 1t will be shown, on the authority of
the President and his Cabinet, that the River
and Harbor bill is immensely swollen by fraud.
Each of the other bills will be criticised in the
same manner. Reason will be given, in almost
every case, for the belief that the increase in
appropriations is mainly fraudulent and dis
honest. The member who has helped to vote |
away eighty millions will be asked, even by |
he least worthy OF his constituents, why he |
lid not secure larger share of the plumber.
Honest men in his district will want to know |
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-08-04

why he voted away eighty millions more than the
last Congress had taken.
The question will be hard one to answer.
The government of the country ought not to
cost a cent more than it cost last year, though
some expenditure for 1.-THE deficiencies dis
honestly left by the last Democratic Congress
was necessary. Deducting these, the appropri-
ations of the current year will be at least
$50. 900, 900 more than those of the last Dem
ocratic Congress, and the people have right
to ask why the cost of government has been
thus increased. Perhaps members Gao tell.
1t will be well for them if they can satisfy hon.
est and intelligent constituents on that point.
If they cannot, the satisfaction with which
jobbers and thieves regard their action will
not be very helpful.
This is not party question. The worst bills
have been supported by as many Democratic rs
Republican members, in proportion to numbers
voting. 1t is not strange that Democratic
members should be willing to allow Republl-
can Congress to ruin itself, and yet the mem
bers who favor improper measures ought to be
held to strict accountability. The belief of
members is that the people will not hold any
body responsible, because so many OF beth
parties have been engaged i'll the worst per-
formances. Possibly they may be right, but
that is question for the people to answer.
If they want eighty millions year added to
their public expenditures, the present MEN,
bers of Congress are good men to elect.

GIN THEFT BE STOPPEDf

Can no stop be put to the vantOn waste of
public money! Congress votes eighteen
millions for so-called improvements of rivers
and harbors, though the really meritoriOus
works named in the bill would not require
more than half as much during the fiscal year.
Is there no remedyY
Plainly there is, and itrests with the President
alone to apply it, He has shown so much good
sense and courage in his veto that the country
NAV look with reason for an exercise of all his
legitimate power to prevent fraudulent expendi-
ture If he should content himself with an
empty veto, there would be many who would
believe that he had in mind only personal pop
ularity, and net the public good. For his OBJ
lection to the River and Harbor bill can be
easily tested, and, if sustained by the courts,
made effective. The President has objected
that large part of the appropriations in this
bill are unconstitutional because they are not
Tor the common defence or the general welfare.
1t can be easily ascertained whether this objec-
ton is legally sound.
About every creek or inlet which it is
proposed to improve. for instance, there
are persons whose private rights would
be more or less affected 10y the con-
templated works. Let one of these ap-
peal to the courts. on the ground that an ap
preparation for the purpose named is beyond
the power of Congress, and ask an order pro-
hbiting the work proposed. The President
could properly ask from the Supreme Court
quick hearing and decision upon matter in
v0lvLg the expenditure of many millions of
public money. If the decision should he adj
verse TO the law, the President would be in ddty
bound TO act upon it in other cases of a similar
character.
Possibly. the decision might be reached even
more speedily by action of officers of the Treas
ury. The Controller, at the suggestion of
the President, might examine the question
whether proposed expenditures were warranted
by the Constitution. 1t is possible that he
might find reason to put his veto upon expendi-
lures that are not for the general welfare. In
that case, the matter would go to the courts
without delay, and an effort to compel him to
pass such expenditures would call out deci-
sion by the courts 1t does not matter in what
form the question is submitted. The Presl-
dent has abundant power, if he wishes to pre-
vent the expenditures which he considers un-
warranted and unconstitutional to cause the
authority for them to be tested. If he declines,
the criticisms of his course will have the greater
force If he calls for speedy action by the
courts we shall soon see whether members of
Congress have any right to vote away millions
of the public money to secure their own
election.

4 BUSINESS C1BIyET.

The authority of the French Premiership has
been hopelessly degraded. The first President
was his own Premier, fighting his battles in the
National Assembly and resignng like an Eng
lish Prime Minister when there was a clear
majority against him. The second President
was managed by his Premiers, who organized
the Cabinets and conducted the Administration
as the responsible agents of the Legislature.
The direction of public affairs passed out of his
hands, the Office acquiring dignity under the
Constitution, but losing actual power The
third President is the least ambitious man in
the public service. Recognizing the omnipotence
of the Chambers and holding it to be his con-
stitutional duty to carry into effect the will of
the majority in all circumstances, he has had
no desire to magnify the Importance of his
Office Yet the Presidency has increased, while
the Premiership has decreased. On three occa-
sions within two months Ministers have been
retained in Office through the personal inter-
ventiOn of the President, when the Deputies
had voted against Government proposal, and
the Premier had declined TO stand by his col
league. The resignation of NJ. de Freycinet's

gone by, and had managed their political bust
ness more fairly. Then they would not feel
troubled, as they do at present, lest they should
be unable to persuade their opponents in the
party that they would act in good faith in the
coming canvass. They say this is all that pre-
vents them from being able to carry out their
present plans. A machine has no conscience,
but the managers ought to be able to realize
that honesty is the best policy. Since the
Stalwarts find so large an obstacle in the way
of obtaining the nomination for Governor,
which they want why would 1T not be good
plan for them to give up wire-pulling and let
the rank and file of the party select the man
they desire 7 The Republican voters in the
State are fully able to name a candidate ana
elect him without any advice from self-con-
stituted small bosses.

The first act in the Democratic comedy OF
errors, that may be expected to remain on 'ne
stage until the day of election. will begin IN
Saratoga tomorrow. The actors ana the
scene shutters and other supernumeraries are
already rehearsing their parts. The play Is
that of Harmony" which the public Will
recognize as q familiar old farce, despite the
attempts of the managers to deceive the I'M
wary by advertising that it is a new drama OF
a most serious character. The show is to be
run on the combination plan, with few stock
actors from different companies, like John
Kelly and Hubert o. Thompson, in the leading
roles. There are indications, however, that
the jealousy and mutual distrust of the lead
ing PLAYERS will breed the usual dissensions In
the company, which may lead to failure and
disruption on the first night. But even If the
farce should continue on the boards until No
yember, it is absolutely certain that whenNthe
proceeds come to be divided and it is found,
as it will be, that the whole thing has been
pecuniary and artistic failure, the usual quar-
relling will follow. Of course the managers
will accuse one another of fraud and pecula
ton, and lay the blame on one another's
shoulders; but the public will recognize the
fact that in the honest management and SUI
perior attractions of the opposition company
are to be found the reasons for the Kelly
Thompson combinations failure.
