TEE 491u, DEBATED ToB TIE 50TE
CoSGRSs.

The defeat Of William r. Morrison, of
illinois, is the most remarkable II suit
Of tie political contests this November.
Mr.. Morrison, leader Of tie Tariff re-
form mon IL the present Congress, Is
counted among the beaten candidates
fer q scat IL the House OF Represen
tiyes. Free Traders and these more or
less in sympathy with their views feel
ncutely the defeat Of taoir leader IN the
House Of Representative at Washing
ton; and PTotectioDists, On the other
hand, are happy II the contemplation
OF their unexpected victory. Less than
two weeks before election there seemed
to be no chance that the Protectionist
candidate could win. His success was
due to the appearance on the field Of
dispute, namely the eighteenth district
OF illinois, OF John Jarrett, x-PTes.-
dent Of the Amalgan4ated Association
OF Iron and Steel " orkers, who claimed
to be the r pr sentative OF the =" Work
ingmen's 1arf Club, Of Pittsburg,
Penn. He worked with great energy
to procure the defeat of MIR Morrison,
in the interests Of Protection, and his
success is the leading fact II domestic
politics ut the present time.
The eminent statesman whom his
action has retired to private life. VII
liam X. Morrison, was born III Monroe
County. Illinois, Oh the 14th Of Septem-
Der, 1926. Hewas educated at the com
mon school and at McKendree College
OF his native State. At the end of his
course in college lie began the study Of
law, and soon after his admission to the
Bar, became Clerk Of the Circuit Court.
He also became 4 politician Of local
prominence, and was elected fer four
consecutive terms to the Illinois House
Of Representatives,, serving one term rs
Speaker. His career IN the State Leg
islature was stch as to commend him
for still higher Aonors, and retiring
from that body he was elected to the
Thirty -eighth Congress. He was re-
elected to the Folty-thrd, and has
until now retained his seat.

ADDITIONAL FIGURES.

| The Speaker OF the Last House of Repre-
sentatives on Democratic "Extrava-
gance."
AS in some sort response to the
accusation of extravaganza on the part
of Mr.. Cleveland's Administration,
which has found a place in most of the
Republican platforms this year,
Speaker Carlisle has made public, in
the form of an interview, summary
of the expenditures of the Government
during the past year, which is instruc-
tive through its conciseness. The
fiscal year ending June 80 last is the
first complete year of this Admins
tration. In the usual course of
things, it should have been a year of
large expenditure, by reason of the
addition of $780, 900 to the pension
list A comparison with the year pre-
ceding, however, shows that, notwith-
standing this increase, there was net
saving of S17, 743 900; or, regarding the
ordinary expenditures only, the reduc-
ton in the cost of running the Govern
ment amounted to more than $25, 900, =
Mr.. Cleveland is denounced in most of
the Republican platforms for his vetoes
of private pension bills which are clear
ly improper and often fraudulent, this
great addition to the pension list was
caused by the prompt adjudication, and
allowance of claims under the new Ad-
ministration. A larger number were
thus disposed of than in any preceding
year. This, moreover, was accom-
plished at the same time that consid-
cradle saving was made in the cost Of
operating the bureau. Every depart
ment, in fact, showed economy in ex-
penditure over the figures of the year
preceding.
For the year that has now opened,
July 1, 1886, to June 80. 1887, the ten
appropriation bills which provide for
the regular annual expenses of Govern
ment look to a still further reduction,
the amount appropriated for the dc.
partments being Sc, $4,000 less than
last year. Itremains to be seen whether
the result will confirm this expectation,
or large deficiency be found to be
provided for; but the experience of the
year just closed justifies the belief that
the estimate will be found correct The
appropriations, indeed. would have
been much greater if the Senate could
have had its way; but the additions
made by the Upper House to the
amount of $4,000, 900 were chiefly in
the shape OF river and harbor jobs and
unwise pension bills, and had no rela-
ton to the legitimate expenses of the
Government. Mr.. Carlisle refers with
reasonable pride to the fact that the
House threw out S1O,OOO,0O0 of these
Senatorial extrayagances- - Boston
