Union Republican.
Washington, d. c., May 3.-After
cutting the salaries of clerks and mi
nor officials in the various depart

to-day, SO to AS, voted $4,000 ad-

clerical assistance. In so doing Dem

Johnson, of South Carolina, in charge

Kick EN- Ont.

II the Democratic party is truly
represented by its Congressman as a
whole, it should suffer defeat this
fall. 1t has been a standing joke that
it can be depended On to play the fool
at the wrong time. 1t was President
Grant who first said that the Repub-
lican party could win on the mistakes
of the fool Democrats, and since this
day they have been trying to make
the assertion good, though since the
present House has been in a minority
it has appeared that it was going to
fool the country and the common en-
envy, instead of confirming Grants
prediction. 1t has made a great rec
ord, with promises of still greater
time it made bad break 1t was
the same old story of economy for the
other fellow, not for members OF Con-
gress.
An outrage has been committed
for years in the mileage business.
Congressman are allowed 20 cents for
mileage; they pay three and pocket
the other II cents. Mild efforts have
been made once or twice to reduce it
to five cents. Last week the question
came up again and Congressman Page
of this State offered the amendment
cutting it down to five cents, but it
was overwhelmingly defeated Not
only this. but this same House that
has been clamoring for economy wad-
ed in and voted 200 additional
funds to itself for individual clerical
assistance. This was done over the
vehement protests of Chairman Fitz-
gerald, of the Appropriations Com
mittee, and Representative Johnson,
of South Carolina. in charge of the
| legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. The House put up a
poor and contemplate bluff by cut
ting of the salaries of various under
paid clerks and minor officials in the
| departments.-Gre Record.
