and the House knows the Senate will, in
every instance, raise the appropriations
to amounts in some degree commensurate
with the needs of the public service. In
nearly every case the cabinet ministers
and heads of departments, affected by the
ruinous and absurd reductions made by
the House, have celne before the Senate
committee on appropriations and im-
plored that the amounts may be increased
above the amounts granted by the House.
By this thin and despicable sham the
democratic House leaders hope to work
the country into the belief that the demo-
cratic House is for economy, and the re-
publican Senate for extravagant appropri-
ations. Senator Platt put a bodkin
through this air-bladder of hypocrisy and
deceit on Saturday when he, by interroga-
tions, clearly showed this to be the de-
liberate purpose of the democratic majori-
ty of the House, and that one of two
things must be true—either that the demo-
cratic House was niggardly and appropri-
ated too little, or the democratic heads of
department. were asking for more money
than they needed, and which every in-
telligent legislator knew was not the fact.
Senator Platt asked Senator Allison,
chairman of the Senate committee on
appropriations, for a statement of the con.
dition of the several general appropriation
bills, when he replied that but one, the
army lill, had yet been passed and
signed by the President; and further said:
“I will say that during all my service
here in this body, and in the House of
Representatives, I have never known the
appropriation bills to be in the situation
they are today, with reference to forward-
ness at this period of time prior to ad-
- journment, and I want to say that the
Senate is in no sense to blame." He
stated further in reply to another question
fromSenator Platt that it would be impos-
sible for the Senate to properly consider
the four most important appropriation
bills, which had not yet come over from
the House.
The diplomatic and consular bill, “torn
and mangled" as Senator Hale described
it, then coming up, Senator Platt said:
“Perhaps it is jusc as well for me to
make an inquiry here us while the reading
of the bill progresses. I see that the
amount of the estimates for the year 1888
'was $1,935,722.14, that the amount of the
bill as passed by the House is $1,311,720.
That is nearly $600,000 less than the Sc-
cretai'y of State and the Secretary of the
Treasury say is a proper sum to be ex-
pended to properly sustain our diplomatic
and consularservice, and the Senate Com-
mittee on Appropriations has added to
the amount of the bill as passed by the
House $118,722.14. So the bill if it passes
as recommended by the Senate committee
will be $1,430,442, being still nearly$ 00,-
000 less than the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of the Treasury say is re-
quired for the proper maintenance of our
diplomatic and consularservicc. It seems
to me, 1011'. President, that our consular
and diplomatic service ought to be main-
tained and sustained. It ought to be
maintained and sustained in a manner he.
fitting a great nation like this, the first
nation in the world, and a nation which
should maintain the respect to which it is
entitled in the whole world ”
Bluff old Senator Beck of Kentucky re-
plied: "Mr. President, I desire to say
only a few words in regard to this bill in
answer to some of the questions pro-
pounded by the Senator from Connecticut.
This bill has been unfortunate up to
this time. The estimates sent in by the
State D. partment are perhaps fuller, more
comprehensive, and give more thorough
explanation of the needs'in the service
than any I have ever before observed in
any farmer of Estimates. The needs of
this Department of the Government are
fully set forth with absolute accuracy,
and the reasons are plainly and fairly
- assigned for the changes desired.
The Committee on Foreign Afiairs of
the House of Representatives, reported an
appropriation bill substantially ill accord.
ance with the estimates of the Depart-
ment. It. was awell considered bill. For
some reason or other the House took hold
of it, and made a very incongruous
measure out of it. What they so unwisely
did is well set forth in the letter published
iii the Record this morning from the
Secretary of State to Senator Allison. It.
explains many things which ought to be
understood before this bill is voted on.”
Mr. Plait, continuing:—Mr President,
I want to thank the Senator from Ken-
tucky ,(Mr. Beck) for the very manly and
stutcsmanlike explanation which he has
made of'this matter; and Iwant to say
that I do not believe that the estimates of
the Secretary of Slate, furnished to us as
I understand by the Treasury Depart-
ment, indorsed by the Treasury Depart-
ment, for the diplomatic and consular
Service of this country are any too high;
and if the appropriation bill could have
originated in the Senate, I do not believe
there would have been any party division
on the question as to whether the sum in
the aggregate recommended for the main-
tenance and sustenance of our consular
and diplomatic service should have been
appropriated. I am sure there would
have been none.
But the difficulty—and there is a dim-
eulty in voting by way of amendment
here the sums which are needed so to
sustain our consular and diplomatic scr-
vicc as to make this nation and its repre-
sentatives respectable in the eyes of the
other nations of the earth—is this: That
the House of Representatives, without
regard to the requirements of the service,
cuts down ruthlessly the estimates of the
State Department by about $600,000. and
then. when that spaS' . of economy is over
We on this side of the Chamber under-
stand perfectly well that when the bill is
raised even $100,000 we are to be charged
with being extravagant and the extrava-
gance of the Republican Senate is to be
contrasted with the economy of the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives. It dues
pro-Sent a difficulty and it does embarrass
a Senator, who, however mucllhe may
desire to sustain the Government and to
vote all needed sums, can not in the na-
ture of things help having some political
feeling on the subject.
Now, I find that in this desire to econo-
mize the House refuses to appropriate
for eighteen consular officers, among
whom are the agent and consul-general
at Cairo, the consul-general at Kanagawa,
at Panama, at Halifax, at Mexico, and St.
Petersburg, and the consuls at Hung.
Kong, at Sheffield, at Matamoros, at
Anuabcrg, and at Mahe.
\Vllat is the Senate to do? Is it to lake
the bill as it comes from the House of
Representatiws and agree Willi it in its
economy, or rather in its penuriousness,
or is the Senate to provide for the pay-
ment of the officers whom the House has
refused to provide for at the expense of
being; charged with extravagance?
I propose not to act front a politics
- standpoint. If I did, I should vote
against every one of these amendments,
ilIllI say that if the. Democratic House of
Representatives does not propose to pro.
vidc payment for its Democratic officials
abroad, let it take the medicme which it
plCSCl’IDtS; but having ill view the con.
tinuance of our service, not to say its
efficient-y, I am bound to vote for these
amendments; and I desire to express here
my wish that the Committee on Appm.
priations had gone even further and had
adopted mainly the estimates of the State
Department, so that we might have
abroad such a Service and such a repre-
sentatlon as the greatness and the grand-

has also sent in some half dozen private
pension vetoes. Senator Frye by his force-
ful eloquence, got a two thirds vote in the
Senate, to carry the bill, giving a Maine
soldier a chance to claim his arrears, over

“There were, living on a farm in
Maine in 1861 two boys, one sixteen
and the other twenty. The elder had
just been married. The war broke out.
Full of the inspiration of patriotism there
was a controversy between them as to
which should enlist. Finally it was de-
cided that the younger boy should start
first. He enlisted. In two months the
elder boy enlisted and was killed. The
younger went to the front and remained
there sixteen months. Then he was
stricken with a nervous disease and was
transferred to the Invalid Corps, in which
he remained till the close of the war. He
lied no physical strength to work on the
farm, and he returned to Washington,
where he was appointed a clerk in the
Treasury Department. He was there six
years,was twice promoted, and was ofier-
ed the chief clerk-ship at $2,500 a year.
But in the meantime he had studied law
and had passed his examination, and he
declined the prefermcnt, resigned his
place in the 'I‘reasuty and began the
practice of law, in which he built upa
practice worth from $3,000 to $4,000 a
year. He was a magnificent specimen of
a man, six feet high, handsome in person
and witha well cultivated mind. Early
in 1878 in the streets of Washington he
was stricken with his old disease and for
nine years never had stood on his feet.
These ‘had been nine years of terrible,
fearful pain, night and day. For two
years he cotild not lift a silver spoon.
One night about two months ago he was
carried on a reeling chair into his (Mr.
Frye’s) room and there he told his story,
Congress passed a bill opening the door to
him to apply for arrearages, and that hill
the President voted. The President said
that this was a dangerous door to open,
during the whole‘ two years that it was
open, under the law, this man had not
the power to avail himself of it."
The bill was passed over the President's
veto by a vote of 55 to 6; the six nays be-

that I could prescribe with as much con-
fidence of success as I can Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by you. Have pre-
scribed it a great many times and its effect
is wonderful, and would say in conclusion
that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh
that it would not cure, if they would take
it according to directions.
Yours truly, ,
L. L. Goasuon, M. D.,
Ofiice, 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of
Catarrh that can not be cured with Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Taken internally.
