WASHINGTON NEWS, Gathered for the Banner Readers by Our Special Corres¬ pondent, The United States Treasury is bankrupt, as far as the reckless and extravagant appropriations voted by the republican congress can make it so, and it would be actually so to today if all of the appropriations had to be paid at once. In the dying hours of the Fifty-first congress the republi¬ cans threw prudence, conscience, fear of a hereafter and every other restraining influence overboard, and'boldly voted for every possible thing that promised to assist in the footing of the Treasury, which their leaders had agreed upon for the purpose of confronting the democratic congress with a de ficiency. Old rnouldly claims that had been refused a hundred times were tacked on the appro¬ priation bills, and railroaded through, extra salaries were voted to employes who are alreaded paid beyond their deserts, and money was scattered around in every direction as though the Treasury was overflowing with a surplus, as it was two years ago when turned over to the repnb lican?. Where the money is to come from to pay all of these wild ap¬ propriations is more than any one can see at this time; it isn't in the Treasury nor can it possi¬ bly get there under the present methods of taxation. Two years of democratic economy in the House and a purging of the pen¬ sion rolls of the frauds thereon may pull the country through without making it necessary to put new taxes upon the already tariff ridden people. The republican ex-Representa tives are loath to leave Washing¬ ton until Mr. Harrison has dis¬ tributed the plums now at his dis¬ posal, which includes nine new U. S. circuit court judges as pro¬ vided by the new law, which pur¬ ports to be for the relief of the Supreme Court; but Mr. Harrison proposes to try their patience, as he is going to Maryland to-mor¬ row for a few days of wild duck shooting, and says he will do nothing in the matter until his return, Ex-Speaker Reed has a pretty thick skin, but he couldn’t hide the chagrin he felt when every democrat in the House voted against .r, the usnal resolution c f thanks 1 that 11 . Mr. XT McKinley, nr xr- 1 after ti vainly trying to persuade a dem ocrat to do it, had offered. Served him right is the verdict among democrats * Senator Vilas is here looking just as natural as when he so successfully presided over the In tenor department under Mr. “ n vieveland. , . He says that Wis consin has cut loose from the re publican party for good and all, and that her vote may be confi dently counted upon tor the dem ocratic candidate next year. It is pleasing to know that the Fifty-first congress did one good thing. It passed the Internation ei al enriOTj-ut copyright bill, although ,il . it was apparently done under a misun derstanding, signed it with and quill Mr. Harrison the wing of a pen, from an American eagle, CONYERS, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11. 1891. which had been provided for the occasion by one of the editors of the Century magazine. Senator Edmunds is entitled to thanks for having balked Senator Plumb’s scheme for transferring the employes of the Census bu¬ reau to the regular classified de¬ partmental service, without the formality of a civil service exami¬ nation. Mr. Plumb attempted to hitch it on to an appropriation bill, but Mr. Edmunds raised a point of order against it, which was sustained by the chair. And while giving thanks I must not forget the democrats in the House, who with the aid of a few republicans jumped cu the Pacific cable suosidy “job,” after it had been agreed to by a con¬ ference committee, and strangled the life from it. The democratic Senators also deserve well for the smartness they displayed in preventing tho mail subsidy bill from being sent to a conference committee, which would surely have incorporated the tonnage subsidy bill in it. It is much better to accept the least of two evils than to have to take them both. Senator Ingalls has made a very “small” use of his last officia hour. He dismissed the clerk o the committee of which he was chairman and appointed his son, Paul Ingalls, clerk to the commit¬ tee. The object lies in the fact that the clerk draws his salary during the recess, but does no work. Senator Wolcott at once employed the dismissed clerk as private secretary. There were some disgraceful scenes at the last night session of Congress, caused by that old time offender, John Barleycorn. The tipsy statesmen were kept off the floor of House and Senate With some difficulty by their friends, but their antics in the committee rooms and corridors were wit¬ nessed by many.
