WHAT CoNaoEss WILL SAVE.

Mr. Dockery OF Missouri states that
in the two sessions OF the present con-
gress the appropriations will be redue ID
about siOO,OOO,OOO.
The general statement must be taken
on the faith of Mr.. Dockery's reputation
for accuracy, which Is very high. 1t
seems to be certain, however, that aside
from the river and harbor bill there will
be saving this year Of moro than $780,
00O,0OO and 1t is expected that at least
100000 will be saved on the river and
hal Dor bill.
The task Of saving money after the leg
islation OF the last Congress was very diff
cult. The permanent appropriations had
been increased for the purpose OF retrench-
ment II the Democratic majority suc-
ceeds, therefore, in cutting down appro-
priations in the first session, outside OF
the river and harbor bill, by S3O,OOO, 900, 1t
is greal triumph so far as it goes. II IS a
pity that the cutting should not go further
and that more money should not be saved
in the annual logrolling scheme.
