The house went into committee of whole
(Mr. Reagan of Texas in the chair on the
Sunday civil appropriation bill.
Mr.. Hiscock of New York criticized the ap-
preparation for the public printing office as
being inadequate, and warned the Democratic
side that this pretense of economy could have
no other result than to swell the deficiencies,
which must be provided for next year. This
course Of conduct. followed by the Demo-
cratic party last year, had resulted in def
clency of $13,500,000, and the same conduct
followed this year would result in a deficiency
of Sl6,000,0O Was there any use in indulg-
ing in this cheap demagoguery? Mr.. Ran
dali of Pennsylvania said that of the de-
hciency for the present year. So, 500, 600 had
been for pensions, and yet congress last year
had appropriated every dollar of the esti-
mates for pensions, and the deficiency had
grown out of a more rapid adjustment of
the claims. Two and half millions
was for soldiers claims for bounty and back
pay, $500, QUO was to meet the judgments of
courts against the government so that there
was real deficiency of but S3,300,000 in the
appropriations for last year. The Demo-
cratic side had with iron will resisted subsidy
appropriations which had been insisted upon
by the Republican side and by Republican
senate. Applause. The gentleman from
New York might rely upon it that this same
iron will would continue to regulate the
Democratic side of the house against the
chronic effort Of the other side to raise appro-
priations everywhere. Applause on the
Democratic side. Believing that they were
here because of this policy, the Democrats
were not moved by the sneers or the taunts
of the gentlemen from New York. APP

avoiding several points of order, succeeded

that the house should reduce appropriations
so that members of that body could go before
their country and tell how economical the
house was and how eXIravagant the senate
He also read published interview with Mr.
Holman in which that gentleman is repre-
scented as saying that the extravaganza OF the
present house in voting appropriations was
outrage on the people and q violation of
the partyS pledges. Continuing, Mir. Bayne
charged that the appropriations made at this
session OF congress for the ordinary and cur
rent expenses of the government would be
larger than had ever been paid out by any
previous congress. iAt this point the COM
mittee rose and the house concurred Il the
senate amendments to the joint resolu ton
providing temporarily for the expenses of the
expenses OF the government. The committee
then resumed its SESSION. MIR. Holman of
Indiana declared that the appropriation bills
for the present session made q very good
showing. Mr.. HiscOck characterized what he
regarded as pretense of economy as

Applause on the Republican side Mr. Ran
dali presented in greater details the items of
the deficiency for the last fiscal year, ending
yesterday, in order to show that of the S13,-

from Pennsylvania Mr.. Bayne) had seen fit
to repeat language uged in another chamber.
He only wished to say in answer that there
was not al scintila of warrant or justifca-
ton for the criticism, whether it was applied
to any committee of the house or to the body
of the house on the Democratic side APP
plause on the Democratic side. He thought
that that was clean cut reply and he need
not say another word. Mr. Reed of Maine re-
marked that the other side had, with sundry
phrases. made a pretense of economy all
along the line, while the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. RandalD knew that pre-
tense consisted in making lower appropria-
tions than the public service required, and
demanding that the senate should stand I'D in
defense of the real necessary expenses of the
government. The gentleman said that his
iron will was going to control the Democra ratio
party.
Mr.. Randall did not say that said that
the iron will of this side of the house.
"Oh.' replied Mr.. Reid, ''everybody knows
that yours is
THE ONLY IRON WILL
there is there Laughter. and gentlemen are
smarting under it too much not to know that
such is the fact. What other iron will could
have foisted on this house, year after year,
without explanation or argument, such ar
engagements as we have had that have been
called appropriation billST'
Mr.. Randall, acting under instructions from
the committee on appropriations. offered an
amendment appropriating S47, 900 to meet the
expenses of the inauguration of the statue of
Liberty Enlightening the World. Mr.. Hewitt
of New York offered substitute appropriate
S106, 100 fer that purpose. Mr.. Bland of Maine
raised a point of order against both PROPOSE
positions. Mr.. Hewitt argued against the
point and coming down to the
MERITS OF THE PROPOSITION,
he said that the time had come when the I'M
paralleled evidence of sympathy and good
will Of a sister republic was to be inaugu-
rated by the president of the United States in
the presence OF the owner, which would look
on the monument as one of the grandest
achievements of art, and as proof that free
peoples retained for each other a feeling of
regard and sympathy higher than all mer-
cenary considerations of trade and commerce.
IL was q tribute 1rOu Tue uedrC OF the french
people to the heart of the American people
Mr.. Bland opposed the amendment, and
Messrs. Belmont, Hammond and Springer
supported it. The point of order was over
ruled. Finally Mr.. Hewitt's substitute
slightly modified was agreed to-116 to 40.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the house. The amendments were
agreed to in bulk, except those relating to
the issue of small greenbacks and small silver
certificates which were agreed to without a
division, and the Rartholdi statue amend
ment was rejected, yeas 103, nays log. The
bill was then passed and the house adjourned
