we can present in this great crisis, for
one must decline to follow it. l repudlate
the spurious Democracy of these modern
apostles and prophets, who are part Mug
wumps and part Populists and the least
Democratic are those who seek to lead us
astray after false gods, false theories and
false methods. I object to our restoring
a war tax which the Republicans them
selves rejected years ago with our ap-
probation. Iprotest against the lack OF
foresight and judgment on the part OF
some professed Democrats who always
seek an excuse to adopt whatever the Re-
publicans and the people have repudiated.
CAN NOT FOLLOW
leadership which shifts, turns and tenn
porises upon every pubic question;
which compromises every well established
Democratic principle for which the party
contenled when out of power; which
stands ready to adopt every passing issue
of the hour; which surrenders principle
for expedience. If the political success
of my party is only to be purchased by
such methods and with such sacrifices
prefer defeat and the preservation of
self respect"
THE DEFICIENCY BILL.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill now before the house is SO closely
drawn on the lines of economically ad-
ministered government that itgoes mil
lions of dollars below the record of like
bills, and at the same time has the unani-
nous approval of Republicans as well as
of Democrats of the committee. ...
The present bill appropriates $780,
593. This sum, together with what has
been heretofore appropriated for def
ciencies, makes total of $10,5oS,235.
1t is interesting to compare this amount
with the deficiency appropriations of for
mer congresses. The first session of the
51st congress, under Republican rule, ap-
propriated 1851, ,44S; the second session,
38,699, ,746. The SD congress, first ses-
sion, appropriated $15,905,19l second
session, $22,277,0S6.
No appropriation is recommended for
the payment of judgments of the court of
claims for Indian depredations, but the
following is substituted: "For the inves-
tigation under the direction of the attor-
ney general of judgments of the court OF
claims rendered under the act approved
March 3, 1891, entitled an act to provide
! for the adjustment and payment of claims
arising from Indian depredations, which
have not been appropriated for, $6000
which shall continue available until ex'
pended"
