Some one has taken the trouble to
look through the records of century
and evolve the interesting fact that
more than one third Of all the men ap-
pointed to cabinet positions in this
government have resigned their of
fees, this not inclusive of men who
have been transferred from ono de.
partment to another or to those who
retire with outgoing Presidents. But
one OF the Presidents had his Cabinet
more or less broken up by deaths or
designations. Though it is customary
for all of the members of the Cabinet
council to retire when their chiefs
term Of Office expires, there have been
exceptions even to this rule. In the
early part of the republics history
Gideon Granger served as Postmaster
General thirteen years continuously
that is, in four different presidential
terms. The largest number of re-
signations has been from the Office OF
Attorney General, fifteen out OF thirty
eight resigning. - Chicago Times Her.

SAVERS STATEMENT
OF the Congressional Appropriations
Contrast to CannOn'S Clap.trap.
The Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee States
Some Convincing Facts.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-There is a
refreshing frankness aid clearness in
the straightforward statement OF
Chairman Sayers, of the Appropria-
tions Committee of the House, in reply
to the catch penny harangue of Mr..
Cannon sent out last night for politi
cal purposes. Mr.. Cannon, for his
own party reasons, permitted himself
to bequoted in such way as to hide
the fact that the Fifty-frst Congress
was "billion" Congress, while he
dwelt upon the fact that the FiIty-third
Congress was nearly "bilIion" Con
gress in its appropriations. Mr.. Can
non forgot, when he was writing hig
paragraph for the political press, the
strenuous efforts made by himself and
Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, to check the
headIong extravaganza of his party
Tor Cannon is much behind his party
in its determination to fling away all
the money it can control, if liberia
expenditure of the money promises tc
help the party at the polls.
Mr.. Sayers' statement really needs
no preface to classify it to any one
who has the slightest acquaintance
with the appropriation. He can say
truly for House about which little
good can be said that it was careful il
making the appropriation bills, but
that it was much too liberal to be al
all subject to the criticism that it wal
"starving" the government. Mr.. Can
non ought to start little when hi
reads about the reckless appropriations
made in the Fifty.first Congress 10,
public buildings, for no member o.
the House was more conscious than
he that the performance of the Re
publicans in that matter had as mucf
to do with the defeat that he suffered
as his reluctant vote for the McKinle,
bill.
The appropriations made by the
Fifty-third Congress, including per
manent appropriations show reduc
ton of $36, ,765, ,S56.S8 under the appro
priations made by the Fifty-seconC
Congress, and $45,341 1880 unde
those made by the Fifty-frst Congress
Mr.. Ssyers shows:
First, that the bills, including def
tiencies, as passed by the House, mad
a reduction under the estimates sub
mitted to Congress OF 1885 ,389.52
Second, that the bills were increased
as reported from committees to tn
Senate, $3,494 ,573,77.
Third, that the bills were increased
as passed by the Senate. $40, ,170136 on
Fourth, that the bills as they becam
laws, including miscellaneous items
appropriated lees than the estimates
$l6,4S4, ,4S0.49; more than as the,
passed the House, $S,03O9090S; les
than as they passed the Senate, $1l
139, ,227.0l; less than the laws for 1885,
| $6, 121 ,95534.

priations which are not subject to th
action Of Congress are increased b
