What can the Park Commissioners moan hy
their o. stnate defiance Of public sentiment IN
the matter Of the mcnaGcrie removal? WHAT
can they mean by their absurd defence oi their
order Uclmittng ed" Stokes to dcsccratc the
tomb Of General Grant by putting his dirty
and ugly stables almost OH top of it. If they
suppose they are strong enough to ride rough
shod over the will Of the people and TO di,rc
card common sense and common dcccnCy III
thi, way they are profoundly mistaken Pub
lie opinion never expressed itself more clearly
or heartily than in condemning the mcnagerie

coming into THE TRIBUNE office plainly show,
public feeling is utterly SHOCKED by the insult
10 Grants .ncmOIy which is involved III the
presence Of those wretchod Stables within
few feet Of his grave The Park Commission
crs must not persist in conduct 50 antagOn>tic
to the will and interest of the city. Every
newspaper IN NcW-YOrk has stOuIly protested
against the REMOVAL Of the mcnagcric. Both
Mr. Omsted and Mr.. NauX have counsclled
against il. The arguments in proof Of It's folly
have been produced again and again, and moth
ing has been said or Can be said i'll reply 20

scrcncly on in wanton disregard of every prop

time mas come TO give them distinct notiiica
ton Of the fact that they are not the unchecked
masters of the people. They are Ill Office to
serve the public interest and not to violate it.
As servants of the people, they are expected

We had hoped that the return Of Mr.. Robb
would put an end 10 the dsordery and mis-
chievous behavior Of the Commission. but il
appears that he approves its proceedings and
is in favor of removing the menagerie and

landscape at Grants tomb. Mr. Robb has been

notable places of outdoor resort but in no cap
ital he has visited has such contemplate spec

Park to-day. Nowhere has he seen the public
parks deliberately ruined by filing their
meadow lands with shows, and by interSect-
ing foot and bride paths. We are convinced
that he cannot have considered these mat
tcls, and that he will move at the next meet
ing OF the Park Commissioners for reopening
of both these cases. Mr. Robb is not the sort
of man who believes in the destruction OF the

L4PGE APPROPRIATE ONS.

Speaker Reed has occasion 10 thank the
REPRESENTATIVE who assaulted him because tho
Speaker had used his Discretionary power u
check appropriations for public buildings The
discussion calls attention 10 the cXtrayagant
appropriations for which members of one house
or the other have already voted, and to the
wisdom and frmncss Of those Republican lead
eIs who are trying to keep the expenditures
within reasonable limits.
Most Of the statements on this subject from
Democratic sources are Incorrect When a
Democratic paper asserts that the appropIia
tons for the coming fiscal year have been 50
Swclled as 10 exceed four hundred and sixty
two millions, it expects the ordinary reader 10
overlook the fact that PoStoilice expenses are
included, whereas they are not included in the
ordinary official reports. Neither are the
permanent annual appropriations for the sink
ing fund. and for interest on the public debt
and some other purposes, usually included in
the statement of appropriations. The latest
Democratic arraignment Of Congress includes
for permanent annual appropriations SOL,
G2s,453, and for PoStOflce expenditures 49,,
226,G9s 90, which sums should be deducted
for comparison with appropriations in other
years.
Nevertheless there Is reason for great eau
ton The appropriation bills which have al
ready been passed and approved cover no less
than sos, 1906 20, and other regular APP
propriation bills at various stages Of progress

in or between the two houses cover 9oo'
.osO. 800. If these bills should pass without
increase or decrease the aggregate OF appro-
nriations for the fiscal year 1891 would DO
SoSS.5i1.253. and in this large sum Is not
included the as yet unknown amount when
the Dependent Pension bill will take from the
Treasury. With such appropriations known or
probable the question is naturally asked
ubother n deficit must not occur during the
fiscal year.
The appropriations for any fiscal year usual
w exceed by large sum the amount actuahy
expended within that year Thus the excess
of appropriations over expenditures 1of inc
fiscal year ending June 80 was about $50, 0OO,-
600. and the expenditures from the appro-
nrjations for the new fiscal year will probably
fall at least 800 O0O. 900 short of their amount
In that case about two hundred and sXty-elght
millions will he expended, besides the pcfina-
nent appropriations amounting to one hundred
and one millions. The revenue for the last
fiscal year, exclusive of the postal receipts was
q little over four hundred and two millions, so
that without further increase or change OF the
laws there would be Il surplus OF about 934,-
900 900, after fully satisfying the require
mcnts of the sinking fund, which are included
i'm the estimate of permanent appropriations
But the Dependent Pensions bill will take from
the Treasury an amount by some estimated
at forty millions.
The present available surplus in the Treas
my is larger than is necessary, and might he
70 some extent reduced with perfect safety
1t includes thirty-Gvc millions or more OF bank
redemption funds, not likely TO be required
this year, and in the usua! course OF events
smaller appropriations are TO be expected next
year The River and llarbOr bill, for instance,
is ordinarily passed in odd years and the
amount has of late years Lccn adjusted with
a view to this custom
1t still remains the fact that the approprIa-
ton, for th, year closely approach the amount
IF money at the disposal of Congress. There
is pending, and by the great party which the
majority in Congress represents there Is eX-
pcctcd to be passed, Il measure making large

glcs, must consider how they are 10 meet their

Every Republican Club in the State ought to
bear in mind that the convention called to take
place in Saratoga on September is to be a
club convention. That is to say, all Republican
Clubs are invited and expected to send dele
gates to Saratoga, whether they are formally
connected with the State League or not. In
this way large, enthusiastic and representative
convention will be held and from it will eman-
ate an influence that will be felt by the rank
and file of the party in all sections OF the state
Let the clubs everywhere make their propara-
tons betimes and send their best men to the
