Tie economists and the ants have Join.
debate offour hours in the House of Representa-
sives today, the proposition Of Chairman Hol-
man OF the appropriations committee to re-
strict expenditures % absolutely necessary ap-
preparations TO- the support of governments
being the text for the discussion. Necessary
appropriation for the departments of govern

deemed indispensable in q wise administration
of those departments, not the very lowest cent
as which they can be served in any particular
year Otherwise We should see, rs often has
been seen N the history Of the government, a
pinch by one Congress leading to a necessary
bulge by the succeeding Congress SaTing at the
splgot Is sometimes waste atthe bung. Another
wise old saw is "A stitch in time saves nine"
The purpose should not be to lop of not only
unnecessary expenditures, but some that q
wise economy has heretofore considered neces-
sary The public have q right to expect that
their servants should be careful in handling
the general funds not to waste them, not to
permit them &c be Incorporated or stolen
But II is one thing to be economical with public
moneys and another to be niggardly with them
to the dstriment Of the service. II the Holman
resolutions mean simply to confne the expendi-
lures to prudent dispensation. rigid honesty,
close accounting, they will be une1ceptionsble.
II they are intended to reduce the totals simply
to make a showing for political effect. by ruth
less cutting down or mere cheese-paring, they
are not to be commended. The safe middle
path is the one to pursue in the matter of
appropriations-neither inclining to excessive
liberality nor to the other extreme of eventu-
ally wasteful niggardliness-

In every large city careful provision should

national capital looks to the Senate and House
committees and to the thoughtful members OF
Congress for its protection in this matter. Ex-
isting law may be good as far as il goes, but
there would seem to be great danger in resting

legislation obtainable- It cannot be denied
that defects in tho statutes have been

The venerable Cardinal Manning. who died
this morning in London, was not only one of
the most learned men of the Catholic hierarchy.
but he was thoroughly devoted to general moral
and social reforms. His influence over the
labor organizations was very great and was
steadily on the increase. Since the great
church leaders Of the middle ages there have
been few ecclesiastics whose abilities and op-
portunities have avaIled in a wider measure
for the moral, social and material welfare of
the masses Of the people. The death Of the
EnSlish cardinal is a loss to civilization.

The death today Of Albert Victor, duke of
Clarence, the oldest son of the Prince Of W sles
and heir presuniptive of the English crown,
will be felt by very few to be a blow. To
the people at large it will mean the succession
of bis younger, abler and more popular brother,
Prince George. in the event of the death of
Albert Edward before the demise of Queen
Victoria In the present advanced state of
British public opinion the character of the ner
monarch, il there shall be next. will have an
important bearing on British government.

A convention Of some importance to the
great body Of the people outside the cities and
large villages meets here today. 1t is the Ma
tional Association Of Fourth Glass Postmasters,
which association represents all the country
post Offices and many Of those in the villages
in all sections Of the republic. The purpose of
the organization is to secure better pay and
facilities for work Not only are the accom-
modstions at the rural post Office grossly in
adequate, but the compensation of the post
masters is so small as to be no object for secur-
ing the position 1t may be said that the place
Is very freely sought in many instances for the
advantages it gives to the cross roads
store keeper in drawing trade
While this is often true to small
extent, it is frequently the case
that the postmaster sacrifices his time. his con-
venience and his property for the public bene-
At without receiving anything in return, even
the thanks of the public he serves. The meas
ure introduced by Senator Brice yesterday in
sures a minimum compensation of SIS per an
nun, which is little enough The matter is
one that involves far more than merely the in
terest Of the postmaster; it concerns him and
the people alike. in this that the public secure
q better class OF postmasters and better service
In the handling and delivery Of their mails.
