Recently, under his letter to District Attorney Northrup, directing that there be a strict enforcement of the election laws, a num- ber of arrests were made by the federal an- thorities of persous charged with a violation of these laws.

Under ordinary cireumstanees they might plead as a reason for retusing to pass the appropriation bills that the amounts asked for by the different. departments are excessive; Dut the estimates for money to carry on the government for the next fiscal year are so low that it will be almost impossible to justly tind fault with them. The amounts to be asked for will be much smaller than have gone to Con- gress tor years. ‘The President has directed is. Several of his Cabinet officers, after being instructed by him to put their estimates down to as low a notch as possible, have, after cutting in every direction that seemed possible to them, gone to him with amounts that he has directed to be reduced hundreds of thousands of dollars, It is stated that none of the estimates will ex ceed the appropriations made by the last.
