MONEY FOR DISTRICT
Estimates for 1911-12 Prob.
ably Exceed $4,000, 900.
JUSTIFIED By REVENUE
Facts and Figures Forwarded to Sec
retary of the Treasury.
ALL SECTIONS CONSIDERED
Commissioners Give Particular At
tention to Demands for
Improvements.
ALL SECTIONS CONSIDERED

Work was completed today by the Com
missioners on their annual estimates,
and the whole weighty document of facts
and figures was submitted to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Under the provis-
ions OF the law relating to the prepara-
ton of the estimates. the Commissioners
are required to make their report to
the Secretary of the Treasury not later
than October ID, and this was the last
possible day on which the estimates for
the fiscal year 1011-12 could be forwarded.
The law also provides that the fig
ures contained in the budget may not
be made public until they have been
submitted to Congress. so that it is
impossible to state exactly what
amount the Commissioners believe will
be necessary in the next fiscal year
for the maintenance Of the various de-
partments of the local government. the
schools. the eleemosynary institutions
and other branches of the municipality.
In general way 1t Is understood, how
ever, that the estimates will call for
total of more than S12,000.OO0. and
it is believed a request for an appro-
prlation OF this amount will be fully
justified by the showing made by the
District in increases in its revenues
during the past fiscal year.
Half-and-Half Principle.
According to the organic act. by which
the general government is obligated to
assume one-half of the expenses of the
District Of Columbia. the United States
is required to pay an amount equal to the
sum raised by the District in taxes and
from other sources of revenue, and on
this basis-Since the revenues of the next
fiscal year are estimated to be more than
$1,000, ,OOO-the Commissioners might We'll
ask a total appropriation in excess of
13.COO,OO0. 1t is understood, however
that the District executives are planning
to make large repayments into the Treas
ury of money which has been appropri-
ated in recent years for permanent inn
provements.
Material increases will be necessary in
the estimates for the public schools, be-
cause several new buildings are believed
to be absolutely necessary, and a larger
appropriation is needd for the mainten-
ance Of the constantly enlarging equip
ment Of the schools and the necessary
increase in the pay rolls because Of the
larger force of teachers.
The Commissioners have given particu-
lar attention to the wants of each section
Of the District In the way Of street,
road and alley improvements, and it is
believed an Arrangement has been made
that will cause no one section to be Inn
proved at the expense Of another.

The manner in which the editors of these

ard, Jefferson Davis, William Writ and Hugh
Legare.
After the War, Cabinet-making underwent
a change. 'Interests," specially favored bv
law and by the Government, began to secure
the appointment of men who were their at
torneys, in fact or in law.
Nevertheless, every President since the
War, even, has honored the old tradition; and
some member, or members, of the Cabinet
represented the whole republic, and not some
special interest"
General Grant was a noble character, a
great commander an honest man; but he had
had no experience in politics nor government:
and his knowledge of public issues and public
men could not have been extensive His Cab
met gave the country disagreeable surprise,
IN spite Of the fact that he named men of
character and reputation.
Elihu B. Washburne had long been nation
ally eminent, having been a member of Con-
gress for eighteen years
Jacob D. Cox, Grants Secretary of the In
terror, had distinguished himself as soldier,
and had been Governor of Ohio.
E. lockwood Hoar, Grants Attorney Gen
eral, was member of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts; and was recognized every
where as a scholar of varied culture and
gentleman of the frst-class.
John A. j. Creswell, of Maryland, was
Grants Postmaster General and he was
about as prominent border state Unionist
as Andrew johnson himself
While these were all capable and we'll
known men, they were not the Hamiltons.
Jeffersons, and Madisons of their day; there
was certainly no enthusiasm over their selec-
ton.
But the other two members of the Grant
Cabinet created astonishment-A T. Stewart
the New York dry-goods merchant; and
Adolph E. Borie, of Philadelphia, merely a
wealthy man.
Yet, Stewart would have made an adlnira-
BILE Secretary of the Treasury; and the ap-
pOintment was made as a recognition of most
valuable services to the Government, during
the War.
AS to Borie, he was known to be man of
absolute purity of character; and his reputa-
ton in his own State was we'll established.
NOao compare the Cabinet Of the honest but
inexperienced soldier, General Grant, aCith
the bunch Of corporation zaa0yers that the er-
perienced, qcorzdzy aoiSe Mr.. Taft gathered
around him.
Who ever heard of Dickinson, excepting as
one of Harrimans railroad attorneys?
Who ever heard of Wickersham at all? We
now know that he says he was a law-partner
of Henry Taft, (Bill's "bud",) and that his
partner was the attorney of the Sugar Trust,
but that he, WickerSh0no aCaSr't. That state
