Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1875-02-09
GLORIA Is EXCELSIS,- so FAR.

Netoes have never been particularly
popular with our Legislatures. We do
remember us how that, in the rustic
days when the Cap'n of Wabash stern
wheeler. then at tine gubernatorial helm,
tempted thereto by sundry advisers from
the malarious law-schools of Mad River
ana the eccentric and somewhat nomadic
universities of Boonville, began tine
vetoes of what are called Legislative
Appropriation Bills" And oh, how well
do we remember the glee and reckless
gladsomness Of promptitude with which
the Legislature thus momentarily baulk-
ed. rolled the vote OF ror popui over the
same, and caused its instant and isnomi-
nious witherment. You, dear reader
from the cow-counties, yea, and you
from the Great Bonanza, will we'll re-
member how. in the days Of the veto
ings of Andy johnson of constitutional
memory. 4 gifted Speaker of the Maine
tines:
Veto voided vote,
Vote voided veto.
Governor (od I,ttrim) Adams. with
the tempting, puzzling and dangerous
prerogatiye queerly enough vested by the
people who are jealous of The one man
Power" in the hands of single cleo
tive executive officer, has been fit to dis
approve, upon high constitutional
gIt unds of the so-called Battle Noun
tain aud Austin Railroad Bill" We
confess to not having read his Excellen-
cy's veto message, but We make no
doubt he finds according to his own
fashion Of reasoning) ample cause to
withhold his signature from the bill in
question. (The miserable idea that be-
cause the Governor pro ten. and the Gov
error d. tdcto are bull-teamous.y and
automatically inclined. are opposed to
the newer and swifter modes Of locomo-
ton, we scant and fiout as we do the
to future political honors) But We hear
much of the dubiosity of lone mans
voting into another mans hands third
mans property" We have heard
enough Of this. Indeed, this character of
lodging the question has been done here,
past all further usefulness. Here is the
opposite OF the case i'll briess, plain
terms, we've no space for elaboration
as follows, namely: Ninety and nine
Just men in a community who own
neither OK nor mule nor ass. vote, under
authorization Of law, to give to the Dog
town and Rabbit Greek Railway Compa-
ny a given sum Of money which must
be raised by taxation. An unjust and
bull~ hacking sinner gets up. and says
be. I'm agin this yer business. These
neishbors of mine hAint got no right to
take money out Of my pocket and put it
in the pockets af that-thar railroad com.
pany" Under the Wabash and Nissou-
ri rulings sustained by our excellent but
d.lndsd Acting Governor this ono con-
tumacious man has right and the pow
er. IS we'll. to take Progress BY the
throat and hold its advocates subject to
his whims and selfish purposes. Away
with such mouldy twsddle! Let Us re-
joice and be glad that the Senate has
passed the bill over the Governors veto.
Let US hope that the Assembly may echo
back this most excellent action. Let ~
rejoice, When that is done. that the
Spirit Of the Age asserts itself above tho
mirage which lying afar. upon the edge
Of the desert, deludss weak minds with |
the belief that here. here in the sage |
brush, Civilization is inverted, natural !
ly, constitutionally and forever. |
