WASHINGTON.
The President VetOes the Senate FL
nance Bill.
About the wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The President
vetoed the finance bill, saying he was dis
posed at first to give great weight to the
argument, that there was an unequal dis
tribution of the national currency, but
thought differently upon considering the
fact that four millions of such CURRENCY
still remained in the Treasury, subject to
the demand of the sections desiring it.
He adds, the fact cannot be concealed, that
the bill increases the paper circulation of
the country one hundred millions. The
theory in his belief is departure from the
true principles of finance, and its approval
would be a departure from every message
sent by him to Congress.
The Department of Agriculture has re-
ceived very full information concerning
the appearance of the wheat throughout
the country. The returns cover large
proportion of the winter wheat area of
each State. The winter has been exceed
ingly favorable in all sections. No pre-
Wious season has been more generally so
since the inauguration of crop reports.

In the South the growth is luxuriant,
and everywhere the promise is remarkable.
WAsHINGToN, April 25.-The Judiciary

REFERENCE TO BISHOP cuMM1Ns.

REFERENCE TO BISHOP CUMMINS.
In reference to the new church move
ment of Bishop Cummins, we quote Bishop
Quintard's remarks in full. He said
And another Bishop of the Church has
gone from us-gone from us and passed
not through gate of Gods own opening
of whom we can not say, as with thank
full hearts, of our dead fathers in God, that
I" God took him. One who shared with
us the dignity of the Apostolic office, and
who should have shared the burdens which
belong to it, has cast aside the one and re-
treated from the other. think / should
fail to express the mind and spirit of the
Church did / follow him with one word of
reproach.
Personally stand appalled, in contem-
plation of the weight of responsibility he
has chosen without his Office in & position
to which God has not invited HMM ex-
change for that which belonged to him in
his office. But tho matter is by no means
a personal one. The Church is not APP
palled. She looks with mothers tender
ness, intensified by disappointment, upon
the evil course of her hayward son; and she
will never cease to pursue him with her
prayers for the grace of repentance and a
better mind.
The Bishop made appropriate illusions
to the death of Bishops Armitage of Wis
consin; Randall, of Colorado; and Auer,
of Africa also of the sad death of Rev.
Mr.. Royce, of Nashville, by cholera last
summer.
OF clerical support the Bishop spoke at
length, urging upon the clergy the propri-
ETY. of invoking from their parishes more
earnest efforts to discharge their duties in
this reference.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-12-21

The Republican members Of the Senate
held caucus Saturday night and agreed
upon the leading points of financial bill,
a synopsis OF which will be found in an
other column. The action which was
then taken is a healthy sign of the times,
and we rejoice that the Republican leaders
have had the good sense and judgment to
at last come up to the demands of the
people upon this grave subject Of the ma
tional finances and deal with it in the only
way it should be dealt with, upon the basis
OF honor and honesty.
OF course, there will be several obiec-
tons TO the bill. On the one hand it will
not satisfy the hard money men. The day
set for resumption is too far distant-fOur
years in the dark and uncertain future.
And, on the other hand, the contraction
idea embraced in it will be opposed by the
infiatiOnists, who complain now that all the
evils and misfOTtUncs that have come upon
the country are due to contraction. But,
after all, it seems to us that it would be
better to accept this compromise measure
as the best that can be obtained from the
present Congress. 1t does not go as far
as we should like, but it is step in the
right direction, and it is the best and most
important move the Republican party has
made during the last three years. Anyway,
it throws upon the Opposition the burden
presenting something better and stronger
and more eficacious, and gives its leaders
the opportunity they claim to be so
anxiOusly desiring Of giving the country a
sound financial policy.
The friends Of the bill must see to it that
it is not beaten by party tactics or by the
tactics of the gentlemen who hold ideas
contrary to those embodied in it. Its
friends should put it right upon itspassage,
cut off debate and put it into the statutes
before the list of February. The Repub-
Ican who does not accept it, or rather the
ideas in il, should be notified to leave the
party Immediately. This question of the
regulation Of the finances is the greatest
and most important the party has to deal
