A BILlION-DOILAR SESSION.
The Present Session Of Congress Was An
Ealrasagant One.

Washington. II. G. March 4.--The
session Of Congress which came 10 am
end at noon today has been one Of the
most extravagant since the founda-
tion Of the government. The appro-
priations OF the session aggregate a
billion dollars.
The growth of federal expenditures
during the past twenty years has been
most remarkable. The gross appro-
priations By Congress in 1887 amount
ed to only s3S7, $50. 97l. From this
figure, which at the time was thought
somew hat extraxagant. the appTopria-
tions have erept up year by year until
tile high water mark of $500. ls4, 624
was reached last year.
Ii has been only fifteen years since
the first billion dollar Congress came
into view when the appropriations
for two sessions of Congress aggre-
gated billion dollars. Some conse r
vative mindedemen felt then that the
government was running to extrava-
ganee. but now the country has Wit
messed -billion dollar session-two
billion dollar Congress, for il is pretty
safe 10 predict that now the billion
dollar stage has been reached for a
single session, succeeding sessions
will find IL necessary TO appropriate
as much as has been appropriated at
any preceding session.

the simplest ceremonies that the oc-
casion permitted George B. .Crtelyou

the Treasury and James A. Garfield,

their snbordinates was dispensed
with as both Secretary Cortelyou and
Secretary Garfield have been in public
life here so long and are so well
known in all the departments OF the
government that the formality Of in
production was not deemed necessary.
