This was Of tho nature OF pledge or guar

and had returned in Its place by the tidal
wave vote Of 1874 n House lnlcr Democratic
control by majority of SIXTY.
The HOLMAN anti.subsidv and nnti-cX-
trAvagance pledge OF 1915 was adopted by
the Forty-fourth House by Il vote OF 1913 to
-. More than that. thanks to tho firm will
0l RANDALL and tho sleepless vigilance OF
HOLMAN and the loyal good faith OF the

! pledge was kept. The aggregate OF the np-
Preparations voted by that Congress, includ-
Ing the permanent annual appropriation
for the two years OF It's existence was 1884,

1um scattered to the winds in 1899 and 1891
BY the Billion Congress.
: In lees than year after the adoption OF
tho HOLMAN resolution. SAMUEL J. TILDES
. Democrat. was elected as President OF the
United States. He was elected as the rep
resentative Of the policy Of retrenchment
OF the national expenses. administrative re-
form. and honest government. He was
elected on the issue presented in the HoL-
MAN resolution Of December, 1S75-not
however. merely because the pledge was
given. but because 1t was kept.
The conditions under which the second
anti-subsidy and anti-extravagance resolu-
ton was adopted on Friday last at Judge
HoLMAN's instance are strikingly like those
OF slxteen years ago. Once more Judge
HonMAN is at the head OF Appropriations.

Test against preceding Congress OF job

These facts do not in any respect dinln-

fore Congress. ThOy simply show that
resorting to lump sum like that Of Mr..
DOLpH's bill Is method Of appropriation
not warranted. characterization bills might
do very wcll for tho Billion Congress, but
demand closer scrutipy now. When Mr..
DoLpH's bill was originally brought for
ward there was an enormous surplus In

grent sum to the important work of pro-
lection. providing for eleven years of it ut

Besides. tho highest military authorities

1.-THE important question Of national de-
fence Is row confidently regarded as. set

point has now been reached when. by tho
continuance of the present rate Of aDpro-
priations for coast dcfenccS. which have
been moderate. the work can be carried on
Systematically and iuhiciously."
With this point settled. the present Con-
gress can properly substitute for Mr.

amply supply all the money that can be
probably used for coast defence during the

tinue the two recent annual appropriations

How About Another Commission 2
