The mnl Fight on Cleveland.

On the eve OF the inauguration OF
President,elect Cleveland, a bitter
war is being waged in New York
State OH all Cleveland men holding

Cleveland wing Of the party. In view

In the discussion in the recent
House OF Representatives on the
Legislative Appropriation bill, 1t was
stated that the appropriations OF the
present Congress would reach the nn-
precedented sum of 81 ,038. 000, 600, or
$40, 900, 900 in excess Of those OF the
Fifty first Congress, which Democratic
organs we're wont to stigmatjze as the
"billion-dollar Congress. While PEN
sion expenditures have gone far to-
ward this enormous increase, the
wholly inexcusable and unprecedented
appropriations for river and harbor
improvements have been the principal
channel Of extravaganza. Many of
the @rivers and harbors" to which ap-
preparations are annually made are
simply convenient siuices for convey
ing money from the Treasury to con-
stituents of congressman, who form
a mutual aid society In this
business. Millions are annually
spent in this way which yield no ap-
preciable dividend to the country In
the shape OF enlarged commerce orr
commercial facilities This extrava-,
gance has been steadily growing foH
years. 1t Is not measured by the alb
solutc needs OF the country or by its
development, but has far outstripped
both. Yet few voices are raised
against it; few IL any Democratic or
gans have called for reform" In this
matter, although the waste here IL
greater than In any other channel OF
Government expenditure. During
the discussion on this bill, one Con-
grcssman gravely moved, as meas
urc OF retrenchment, that the salary
Of the President he reduced to $25,-.
900 and that OF Congressman tn
$4,000. This is what might he termed
retrenchment by way OF the spigot
while the bung remains unobstrncted.
Congress presents, at every session,
many instances OF this kind, showing
an almost infantile lack OF true bnsi-
ness knowledge and methods
