AUDITORS ESTIMATES.
Mr.. Garrison Says He Will Need $24,
O7O to Meet Running Expenses.

District Auditor John r. Garrison today
submitted to Commissioner West his esti-
mate Of the funds required for the conduct
of his Office during the fiscal year 1906. Mr..
Garrison asks for $24,O70, an increase of
s., 600 over the amount appropriated for the
current fiscal year.
Mr.. Garrison requests that a chief audit
clerk, at a salary of 81 $40, be provided for
his office; also one additional clerk at
81 400 two additional clerks at 81 600 EACH
and two additional clerks at $500 each. In
commenting upon the increased clerk hire
requested Auditor Garrison says:
THE estimate provides for giving regular
annual salaries to the three per diem clerks
now employed in the auditors office, and
for two additional clerks at 81. 600 each.
THE Endorsement of The Engineer Com
missioner in assigning the appropriations
for the pay of the per diem clerks makes 1t
clear that the clerical force of the auditors
Office should be regularly appropriated for
at fixed salaries, since their duties neces-
sarily relate to all appropriations and can
not be restricted to work falling under one
or more special appropriations. The in
creased force asked for is absolutely neces-
sary for a proper and systematic perform
ance of the additional work which devolves
upon the auditors Office by reason of the
large increase in the Expenditures to be au-
dited and properly accounted for, as Wen
as suecial work required by recent legisla-
ton and by orders of the Commissioners.

STEERS who have stalls in the market
The hucksters In the market, 1t was

The President Took No Part.

The President Took No Part.
Postmaster General Payne statement and
course relative to the controversy as to the
naming of a post office in Mississippi for the
governor of the state, Vardaman, was gen.
orally approved by White House callers to-
day. 1t may be stated on the most excel
lent authority that the President had no
knowledge whatever of the AFFAIR until yes
terday afternoon, when 1t was brought to
his attention by Mr.. Payne. 1t is said by
those who know his feelings WELL however
that ne does not seek to 'shirk responsibility
for the action taken, nor is he likely to
mitigate the Postmaster's decision by any
concession in the future
The administration Is In the unfortunate
posltlon, II the controversy reaches the pro-
portion of the Booker Washington episode,
or being unable to present on Its side OF
the dispute the publication which caused
the department to take SO forceful stand
1t is to vile and indecent to make public.
1t has been suggested. however, that any
newspaper which feels disposed to criticlse
the Post Office Departments policy In this
respect might be pardoned for reproducing
Nardaman attack in order that Its readers
seeing cause and effect side by side, might
consider the question whether the author
OF the differences was entitled to complain
at the course of the administration But
except among the Presidents critics there
is no desire to have the Vardcman attack
revived or reproduced
He is in this sheltered lust as Macauley
said that Barrere was protected from the
historians, as the skunk was protected from
hunters-by his own foulness SUCH editors
