tions which failed of passage, and the
public schools may have to be closed in
consequence. Other instances are COM
ing to light daily as the books of the
Treasury show the exhaustion of regu
lar appropriations to exc out which de-
ficiency items were urged for adoption.
This is a slipshod method of conduct
ing great business such as that of the
tional administration. The real respon
sibility lies with the appropriations
committees, which prune down the esti
mates to the lowest possible point in
framing the major measures. The dread
of overappropriation drives them to the
extreme of underappropriation, with the
full knowledge that Deficiencies are to
be met annually in practically every
branch of the government service. 1t
has come to be common usage for COM
mittees to assure heads of departments
and bureaus that if the amounts allotted
are inadequate they can get deficiency
appropriations later The District once
had to depend upon these driblet hand
outs for cleaning money and was
often caught with blockaded streets and
sidewalks merely because Congress had
failed to grant sufficient money at the
outset of the fiscal year for this service
The failure of the deficiency bills this
year should teach a lesson in sufficient
appropriations. No such condition as
the present. with many of the most i'm
portant branches of the public service
crippled for lack of funds. should be
permitted in the future The cure lies
in adequate original appropriations.

The Inauguration Date Problem.

Just as always in the past whenever
the question of change of the inaugu-
raj date was broached, now arises the
suggestion that the date be shifted back
wards instead of forwards. One states
man has already urged that January
be named as the time for the ceremony.
This proposal is founded upon a mis-
conception of the relations between the
retiring Congress and the presidency.
Unless the Constitution is further
amended and the national legislature
ceases to be the final canvassing body
for the count of the electoral votes, the
Inauguration cannot take place in Janu-
ary. There is not time enough between
the election and such an Inauguration
date for a canvassing of the votes in
the states, for the meeting of the cleo
tors and for the dispatch of the elec-
toral votes to Washington and their
scrutiny by Congress in joint session.
If Congress is to remain the final can
vassing body a sufficient period Of time
must elapse between the converting of
that body and the Inauguration to per-
NIT a complete fulfllment of the duty
of the electors and the ultimate judges
of the election. With the Inauguration

Congress and Its Duty.

This question is under discussion: If
an extra session of Congress is called
soon, how long should it continue? The
proper answer is. as long as the press
ing business of the country demands
1t ought not to be assumed that the
only necessity for an extra session rises
out of the measures fatally caught in
the jam that marked the closing hours
of the Sixty-fourth Congress Some of
those measures are very important
Some will require when taken up again
no little debate. The supply bills
among them alone will need explana-
tions, and maybe amendments All
should be put in the best shape pos
sible.
1t should not be forgotten that much
of the work of the House was done at
top speed, and in expectation probably
of corrections by the Senate. That is
an old practice. Let it go through
now somebody in the House will say
behind his hand on matter in dispute,
"and it will be made all right in the
Senate, or in conference"
This time, however the Senate did not
get the chance TO make the disputed
things 'Hall right" 1t was all but par
alyzed as final adjournment approached,
and wiggled out its existence. Trappers
were trapped. Well laid plans of jam
mers went "agley'
What may be called unfinished bust
ness will take up time, but it may not.
probably will not, be the only business
presented at the extra session. Devel-
opments may be such that business of
'even more striking character will knock
for attention. And if it does it must. of
course. receive attention.
1t ought to be understood that, once
assembled, Congress will sit while there
is need of its presence in Washington
1t was elected in November, and passed
into commission on the 4th instant, and
therefore is fresh from the people. It's
powers are defined, and they cannot be
transferred Their exercise should not
be shirked. So far from being in the
way. Congress should show the way. 1t
should be organized as soon as possible,
and take up its share of burden which
nobody today minimizes, and which in
day. or even an hour, may increase in
size beyond anything the country has
known in half century.

votes. complicated counts in the states,
confusion in the final poll and the pos
sibility of contest would be grave. In
1867 every day Of the period between
election and Inauguration was needed.
1t may be desirable to eliminate the
short session of the expiring Congress
altogether, save perhaps for brief ses-
sion to canvass the votes. But that in
wolves complication that is almost be-
yond solution. The moment this mat
ter is viewed from another point than
that of securing safer date for the
ceremonial it becomes inextricably in
volved. The only clear line of approach
is that of the simple postponement of
the Inauguration to the last Thursday in
April, which assures clement day and
at the same time lengthens the short
session of Congress, now too restricted
for the transaction of the greatly in
creased business of the government.
