Holman, Chairman of the House Com
mittee, in the remarks which he is pre-
pairing for publication in the Congress
SiOHGt Record concerning the appropria
tlons OF the Flity-second Congress shows
the appropriations of the session just
closed amount to $5l9, % ,S6l. From
this point of view the appropriations of
the Flfty-frst Congress aggregated ST.
Congress amount to $l,025 ,S22, ,029, or
S., ,S62,S70 less than those of the Fifty
hrst Congress. Holman will present
statements of the appropriations made
by the Fifty. second Congress as charged
against it under permanent appropria-
tions in accordance with the require
ments of laws enacted by the Flfty.firs
Congress. These include sums aggre-
eating in all 1854, 172,040. Judge Hol-
man states, if these appropriations had
not been made as required, the total ap-
preparation of the Fitty-second Congress
would show reduction OF more than
$l63, 100000 than the appropriations OF
the Fifty. first Congress.
To guard against deficit Henderson
warns this administration to give closer
attention to moonshiners and the
whisky ring" in the collecting of in
ternal revenue than it did from 1885 to
1889, when it collected $5l ,090, ,62S less
than President Arthur and $1l5,S5S,542
less than President Harrison. He saws
the retiring administration paid $780,
3l6,93i on the public debt, saving in in
terest $55, ,352, ,493 annually. He ouched
on pensions, showing that the pens on
bureau rolls will reach their highest
point December 81, 1894, with l,16l, ,9IS
names on the rolls, including invalids,
widows, orphans and dependent parents,
the annual value OF the rolls at that date
being $l55,s65 ,094; that in 1895 there
will be dropped from the rolls 1882
pensioners, with an increasing ratio
thereafter. Referring 70 the complaint
against widows PENSIONS, he shows, if
a the widows claims vet undispo. el of
were allowed, there would be 7(9,S34
dead soldiers unreprespnted on the tolls
by widows, orphans or dependent par
ents. He so points cut the danger to
the treasury from war claims, and says
Congress now has the data to show that
sbout $6 0,000,000 NAV yet be drawn
from it to satisfy their demands. Hen
derson refers to the defeat OF the bank
rupt bill in the House, the turial of the
pure food bill, the slaughter OF the anti
option hill, Congress- inability TO erap-
pie with the money question, its silent
adm ration of the Mckinley bill, and
predicts that the Fifty.second Congress
will go down to history as the know
nothing" and "do-nothing" Congress.
