If there is any one thing which the
Dem ocrats have emphasized lin their
speeches) more than any
hing else, it is the necessity of econo-
ny in the administration of public
affairs. They have fairly stood on
their tip-toes and become black in the
face while they pledged themselves, if
they got chance, to run this govern
nent on a regular homemade Jackso-
MAN simplicity plan. Not Democrat
scarcely in the land but that denounced
the salary grab of 1872. No sooner,
however, had they got into power than
they seemed to forget their pledges to
the people, and have even outdone the
Republicans in reckless extravaganza.
The sgd congress, with its 14S majority
in the house. passed bill giving some
thing over $685. for extra clerk hire
But the 53rd congre SIS, notW ithstanding
their pledges to the people of retrench
ment ard reform, have gone further
than any other congress ever went, in
a reckless disregard for their pledges,
and in tie face of the hardest times
the nation ever saw, voted themselves
extra mileage, something never done
before, extra stationery, and paid
clerks for two months while the con-
gress was not in session, as follows:
ITO pay clerks to senators, and per
diem clerks, and those retained in the
service of the senate during the recess
of the 53rd congress, and the resolution
of the senate. of Sept. 80, 1890, s22, oss.
"For mileage of members of the house
of representatives and delegates from
territories $3.50, 900; for the second SEES
sion of the SD congress, $4,000
"To ENABLE the secretary of the SEN
ate and the sclerk of the house of rep
resentatives to pay to the officers and
employees of the senate and house,
borne on the annual and session rolls
on the Sd day of November, 1898, { in
Guiding the capitol police and official
reporters of the senate and house of
representatives for extra services dur
ing the SD congress, sum equal to
one months pay at the compensation
then paid them by law, the same to be
available"
The senate claim OF $3.50 for each OF
it's clerks was bitterly fought, but the
appropriation was carried through by
the following vote:
