TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR,
THE PRESS ON THE VETO.
what the New York Papers say

NEW YORK, April 23.-The veto OF the tnsn-
cal bill is hailed with enthusiasm by the morn
ht the remarkable faculty OF doing the right
thing NJ the right time, ana that the veto OF the
OIL Will stand out rs the most conspicuous act
In bis memorable and extraC rdinary career
The Tribune says:-'.Grant has once more de-
Q rved well OF the country. and merits the
thanks OF Congress no less than years ago when
gerous enemy. His veto il an act of great
moral courage under the circumstances under
which II was done, and the whole country will
thank him to-day for an act OF simple honesty
which showed yesterday that he l. not entirely
in hands which have already done him 50 much
dsmsge. The bill tended 10 abolish in Congress
a. d in the public mind all lingering ideas OF the
ssnctity Of national obligations, and TO set Us
adrift upon current which ran unchecked to-
ward reputation and infsmy. The veto of the
President is, therefore. far more important for
what IL prevents than for what IL fmme iistely
sccomplishes. We congratulate him and the
country upon IL, not because 10 kills this par
ucular bill, but because 1t issues fair warn ng
70 the inhationsts in Congress that In all future
schemes Tor debasing the currency they must
count upon the opposition Of the President. In
this view OF the case Grant has been able
by one stroke of the pen, 70 do q greater
complish in a life time.
The Times thinks the great majority OF the
prudent and intelligent business men will be
satisfied with the veto. The Presidents course
is satisfactory, not merely because IL kills a
very bungling and confused piece of legislation
passed with a wholly indefe nsible purpose, but
also because IL proves the coDstancy Of the
President in his devotion to the cause OF specie
payments.
Tho World, after stating thas it had regarded
the possibility OF a veto OF an imitation measure
as out OF the illusions Of hope, says:-"It is
therefore with a surprised qualification that we
record the veto of yesterday, by which Presi-
dent Grant has killed the imitation scheme ana
deserved well Of all who love the honor of the
Omitted States."
The SUMS leader is as Acknowledgement
Grants veto Of the bill TO initiate the Currency
IS the smartest thing that he has ever done since
he was elected President. Never mind the little
family jar which IL will make at Washing ton
that Is Of no consequence.
What the Philadelphia Papers Say.
PHILABELPHIA. April 23.-Au the papers of
Philadelphia, except the Press and Inquirer
express approval Of the Presidents veto. The
Press says: elf we accept his decision against
the Senate bill as indicative of his determine
ton to arrest ell other attempts to relieve the
country by an increase OF the circulating me-
dunn, 1t is clear that he has taken issue with a
very large majority OF the American people
including very large majority OF the republi-
can party"
