The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-07-03

That is more than double the
amount required for the expenses of
our government ten or II years ago,
and the actual requirements of the
government have not so increased.
The population of the country has
not doubled, nor has it's wealth. The
responsibilities of the government
have increased and the wealth of the
country has increased during the past
few years, but the appropriations
which the congress continues to
make are manifestly greater than
should be made.
The river and harbor bill, which
takes an average of $2O,OO0,OOO from
the treasury every two years, has in
the past 20 years taken well-nigh
$200,O00,000; and everybody in Wash
ington speaks of that bill as "a steal"
which cannot be disguised in this city,
although the people SEEM to know
nothing about it. Then the habit of
voting money from the treasury for
public buildings and grounds has so
increased that almost every commu-
nifty is clamoring for a public build
ing; and the men who want to be
custodians and janitors of the pro-
posed buildings are urging their con-
gressmen to foster this eXtrava gance.
The people who have the right to
reward the faithful public servants
by re-electing them, and to PUNISH
the unfaithful by not re-electing
them, are responsible for existing
conditions. Uncle Sam is rich and
can afford some luXuries, but prodi-
gality and wastefulness are little less
than criminal in governments as we'll
as in individuals. Uncle Gam can
stand a little summer shower of ex-
travagalce while the bank account
is in good condition, but a deluge OF
wastefulness disgusts him, and his
wrath arises.
The people must not place the
blame for these conditions upon any
political party. The writer has seen
democrats, republicans, greenbackers,
and even populists in congress max
ing frantic grabs at the treasury for
part of the surplus. The first ad
ministration of Grover Cleveland was
one of the most honorable and com
mendable that this country has ever
had, and the second was regarded as
most profigate. Tie administration
of Benjamin Harrison was not alto
gether blameless, nor was the Nc
Kinley administration absolutely frse
from abuses of power. People ara
narrow in tie extreme who imagine
that any one political party can be
perfect.
What the people ought to do is to
nominate only good men whom they
know to be honorable; and to elect
only those who will pledge them
selves to economy in government ex-
penses, and keep those pledges. The
fault lies not with parties, but with
the plain people themselves. They
cannot shift the blame. 1t must rest
upon their own shoulders. They
must look more closely into the polit.
zeal affairs of their country.

Saturday, outside Of furry at Sum
NIT Hill, where strikers surrounded
the home Of a nOn-union man and made
a wild demonstration, nothing Of ar
untoward nature occurred.
At LansfOrd, however, there appears
to be a deep undercurrent of dissats
faction that would require little tc
surge it into the riotous condition that
existed until lately, when General Go

The strike leaders are loud in theiI
denunciation of the order, and brand
it as unnecessary, and issued in the in
terest Of the corporations. General
Goblin denied this and while he ad'
mitted that the order was drastic in
its nature, he considered that the sit.

More men reported for work Satur.
day than on any other day since the
strike began. They were put to work
at No. colliery where the coal has
been mined for the past week.
A leading official of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company admitted that
1000 tons Of coal are being mined and
shipped daily. He said that Monday
would see still more men at work.
They will be put to work at No. s col
lery. This colliery has been in opera
ton several weeks, washing coal from
a nearby bank.
On Monday, an effort to mine coal
here will be made. In this maLner II
is expected that in the course of a
week or so every colliery in the Pan
