The
Government’s bookkeepers have;
footed up their .accounts for tb.e
fiscal year that came to an end on
June 3Ab, and the figures are even
more satisfactory than could have
been expected. The receipts ex-
^eeded the expenditures by $90,-
528,546. The receipts and expen
ditures for the fiscal year compared
with the last preceding one, show 1
an increase of revenues of about)
$14,500,000. Customs receipts are j
some $11,000,000 better, internal
revenue $4,500,000 and miscella
neous $3,000,000. The ordinary
expenses are $22,400,000 less than
last year, interest is nearly $1,000,-
000 less and pensions are $8,600,-
000 more.
Yes, dining the year just closed
the Pension Office issued 81,422
pension certificates, a larger num
ber by 6,721 than ever were issued
in any previous year. And when
it is remembered that this immense
work has been performed with a
force of clerks less by over 100
than for the three previous, there
seems to be sufficient reason for
congratulating the present Com
missioner of Pensions, Gen. Black,
upon retrenchment in his office.
At a recent Cabinet meeting the
question of how many telephones
were in use at the seveial execu
tive depar numbs of the Govern
ment in this city came up. The
President asked each of his Sec
retaries bow many the department
ever which he presided used. The
Attorney General said two. Sec-
retary Lamar gave what he tho’t
was his number, and so on around.
They made up about fifty altogeth
er. The F resident asked them to
look into the matter and report at
the next meeting. They did and
Attorney General Garland was the
only one who had made a correct
return. The total was one hun
dred and fifty. The average cost
of each telephone—because the de
partments have a number of special
wires—is $100 a year.
Thus for telephonic service for
the departments in this city alone,
the Government, pays nearly $15,-
000 a year. This was thought to
be too high by the Cabinet officers
and retrenchment in this line has
begun. Fifteen telephones have
already been taken out of the
Treasury department, leaving only
one on each floor.
The salaries of Government
clerks comes out of the Legislative,
Executive and Appropriation bill.

caused an unusual outlook for the
new. The departments opened on
trust July 1st, it being against the
law to make any contracts for ser
vices in excess of appropriations.
“So you are without pay,’' was the
remark made to a Government
clerk, “that must be uncomforta
ble.” He showed no anxiety on
the subject however. Said he,
‘‘the pay of members of Congress
is provided for in this .appropria
tion bill just the same as mine is.
Soyou see I am all right. Every
Congressman will see that I am
provided for in time.”
It was Senator Ruldleberger
who introduced the bill to reduce
the salaries of Congressmen and
certain high officials twenty-live
per cent. This reminds me of the
difficulty of getting good business
men to take the responsible places
in the departments. There is no
trouble at all in getting mere poli
ticians for these places, but it has
been the President’s id^a to get
good business men. Such men
come here occasionally tempted by
tlie allurements of office, although
they can do much better in private
life. For instance, the U.S. Treas-

and excellent substitute for more
expensive amusements,.
