The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-05-25

SAYS the Chicago IInles:-Connecti
cuts most dogmatic senator, Eaton,
declares that the president has no
| power to veto any bill unless it be an
unconstitutional bill. As the president
has no deciding power over the constitu.
| tionality or unconstitutionality of any
bill, 1t results from Mr.. Eaton's deci-
sion that the president has no power TO
veto any bill at all. This seems to be
the latest bourbonic construction of
the presidents veto power.
PAROLE is enjoying a rest prepare
tory to contesting in the famous Oar
by races for the gold cup, which will
take place next week. AS this is a
weight for age ace the champion horse
will have to carry only 1875 pounds. The
Ascot stakes will be commended for on
June 10th, and Parole will be a con-
testant. This race will be a handicap,
and the distance nearly two miles.
A BALTIMORE preacher found his
congregation in arrears with ~his,,salary,
and saw no immediate prospect of pay
ment. So he concluded to act on the
business-like maxim of ''no pay no gos-
pei" Accordingly he nailed up the
pews of the delinquents, and when they
came to church in style the next Sun
day they were informed of the cause of
the blockade. They all paid up, and
now the minister is preaching away
with as much zeal as if he were really
a disciple of Christ.
JUDGE DILLON, in leaving the
United States judgeship, assumes q po-
sition far more c%ongenial. He will be-
come professor of municipal and real
estate law in the Columbia law school
in New York, at a salary of 1880 per
annum. This new position will leave
him ample leisure for completing some
legal works he has commenced, and he
will be allowed to accept fees as con-
sulting attorney, although he will not
go into the courts. Judge Dillon will
hold a term of court in st. Paul in
June, and his resignation will take effect
on the LIST of September, before the
opening of the law school.
JAY GOULD can probably see as far
through a milestone as most any mar
who speculates in the future. 1t is not
surprising, considering his famous
shrewdness, that he has purchased q
vitality important railroad bridge as an
individual speculation. The railroad
bridge over the Missouri river at st.
Joseph came into his possession for the
sun Of 100000. And there's millions
in it, too. Every railroad car on the
several roads crossing it will have to
pay him from "a to So, and the pur.
chase, it is said, gives him complete
control of the railroad communications
in that region. The bridge has cost its
bond and stock holders more than
twice the amount he paid for it.
JUDGE TERRY, backed up by the
San Francisco Chronicle, and a lot OF
small fry politicians are laboring hard in
the attempt to form a third party to
scoop all the offices in California here.
after. The excuse is that a party
friendly to the new constitution must
be in power to give it force. A very
taking bait truly. And then the orr
ginal intention was to capture Kearney
and his party and snatch victory from
the snow capped crags of the Sierras.
Nice scheme that, and it gave promise
of containing millions. But Dennis
mounted a.dry goods box in the sand
lots the other day to say: "Of some of
the men who are advocating the new
party, rs far as / am individually con-
cerned, say 1 would rather a thousand
times vote for Leland Stanford as gov
erhor of California than 1 would for
four-ffths of the blatant blatherskites
who advocate the new constitution out
side Of the workingmens' party"
Kearney's sentiments were endorsed
by resolutions. Thus Dennis has di-
vided the new party at the outset and
it will therefore lack in the requisite
strength to carry success The
fight will now lie between the republi-
cans and democrats with the odds in
favor Of the former because the ranks
or the latter have been depleted to fill
up the new party.
