sIGcARpNEs, II APPROPRIATIONS.


Congress is now engaged in discussing q
number Of bills in which large appropriations
for public purposes are made, and there u a
very strong inclination on the part Of the
Democratic ma ority to apply the principle
Of the most rigid economy as TO the amounts
10 be allowed
No fault can be found with the general
propriety Of this disposition. The numerical
preponderance which the Democrats have III
the House is principally due to the revolt OK
the people at the last election against the I'M
precedented extravaganza Of the Congress
over whose deliberations Mr.. Reed presided
a Congress which earned the name Of the
billion Congress. and which will go down IN
the history Of the United States as the most
reckessly wasteful body which had assem-
bled in the Capitol during the first century OF
the Governments existence
A counterpart of such body as this would
not be tolerated. repetition OF its acts
even in an extremely modified form, would
excite the most pronounced popular censure.
Economical methods constitute one Of the
leading claims of the Democratic party to the
confidence Of the people. Economy in the
public expenditures has always been one Of
its cardinal doctrines and is likely to continue
to be such.
Warmly. however. as the public approves
of the disposition OF the present Congress TO
curtail every kind Of expense and reduce the
demands upon the public revenue 10
very low point still this disposition would
not be commended if it were to be pushed 10
the extent of nggardness, as there Is now
some danger that it will be in the not I'M
natural desire to avoid the great mistakes into
which the.Republicans fell at the last session.
Economy in the public expenditures should
not be carried 50 far that the usefulness of any
branch of the public service will be seriously
hampered and injured. Special care should
be taken that the appropriations should be
sufficiently large to permit the further en-
largement of the navy. movement which
was 30 auspiciously begun under the admin
istration of Mr.. Cleveland and which
has diligently gone on on the lines laid
down at that time A number OF additional
battle ships gun boats and torpedo boats
are needed TO put our naval force IN the con-
ditlon which would ensure q successful de-
tense of our coasts in case OF foreign war.
A refusal to grant fund for the construc-
ton of these vessels would be extremely i'll
timed and we are confident would not have
the approval of public opinion.
Any disposition TO reduce the appropria-
tions for the improvement OF haroors and
rivers to point which would not allow the
sum required for the work to be performed
would also show defective judgment, as would
also refusal to yield to a moderate demand
for appropriations for necessary public build
ings.
A Democratic Congress should be emil
nently prudent in distributing the public
moneys. and should be careful TO restrict the
appropriations to the absolute needs Of the
people. but at the same time. grave error
can be made in adopting policy Of economy
that amounts only to policy OF short-sighted
niggarduess

e,rvx,.x, AND THE FORCE BILL.

The enemies Of Mr.. Cleveland in the Demo
cratic marty a,a constantly asserting that ho
never raised b,s voice against tho Force bill
when that Infamous piece OF Revolutionary
legislation was being discussed III inc fhy-
first Congress. II is unfortunate that these
gentlemen have such short memories On
the sth Of January. 1891. while the Force bill
was pending in the United States Senate,
Mr.. Cleveland made speech in Philadei-
phia. in which he used these words:
when we see our political adversaries bent
upon the passage OF Federal law with the
scarcely denied purpose Of perpetuating par
tisan supremacy. which inyades the States
with election machinery designed to promote
Federal interference with the rights OF the
people of the localities concerned. dIscrediting
their honesty and fairness and justly arousing
their jealousy OF centralized power. we Will
stubbornly resist such dangerous and reyo-
lutionary scheme in obedience 70 our pledges
for the support Of the State governments IN
all their rights
This language is surely plain enough. II
Mr. Cleveland had never opened his mouth
about the Force bill. his course during his adj
mnistration in recognizing the rights OF the
South in the mon. and in appointing South
ern men to positions of the highest honor
and trust. would have been sufficient to prove
his adherence Of any such measure. But IA
addition to his acts we have here the positive
proof that he also emphatically denounced
the bill in words. and the mouths Of those who
have been accustomed to assert to the con-
trary should henceforth be ehectually 81

COLONEL sPorswOoD's DEMAND FOR
RECOUNT

1t is not a matter of such great moment to
the citv of Richmond whether Colonel Spots
wood is her next Commonwealth s Attorney
or whether Mr.. Smith is. Either of these
gentlemen would make good officer. but it
is matter of the very greatest importance that
there shall be no suspicion that whoever is
Commonwealth Attorney Is put into the
office by fraud. We have good reason to be-
lieye the city committee will do Colonel Spots
wood a great injustice If II refuses him access
to the poll-book of the Third precinct of JEFF
ferson ward or to allow him all
reasonable latitude in maturing the case
which he desires to present to it, and we pro.
pose to discuss that matter very fully to-mor-
row morning. Meanwhile we urge members
of the committee to consider the matter we'll
before his request is refused. The good
name of the city and the integrity of our cleo
tons is involved il this matter. and we can
not afford to make any mistake about it.

A COMMISSION of experts have recently ex
amined the vaults of the national treasury
and found them to be in highly insecure
condition. If this conclusion had been
reached in the time of a Republican Con
gress no one would have been surprised, but
it seems like the irony of circumstances that
it should be brought in during the session of
Congress which is so much disposed 10 cut
down the appropriations Of every kind to the
very lowest point To shut out the vulgar
burglar and to admit the roDber who comes
in the security Of the law is the very height
of inconsistency. Make the vaults not only
burg!ar-proof, but also proof against every
man and every interest possessing no claim
upon the public treasury.
