their threats Of starving out tho Government. |
They now resort 10 ingenuity and ohicanery
10 accomplish what thoy have not boen able |
TO accomplish by bluff and brnggadocio.
Whether tho aew programme can osoape
Executive interference by voto or not, CANNOT
l,o fully determined until tho exact language

tious aha1I DO rettinizod. In the meantime,
howevor, 1t ia cert}iu that tho now device is
the shrowdsst that the Democrats have yet
proposed, md TINT, II not dofoatct, 1t will
practically achieve, tpr the next fiscal year
Mt least, tho nul1iasatpn Of The Election
laws whicl, they have tricl In vain to repeal.
Tho now programme in,ludcs tl,reo bills
which aro designod to appropriate for all
necessary e1peusos except taoso incident to
tho enforcement Of tho ELECTION laws, Their
character md scope may BE- bridy defined Us
follows:
l. Tho Army Appropriation Bll will bo

In the vetoed Army bill, tho sixth section

but will endeayor to rouder # mil an,1 yo,i
by prohibiting tho usc Of approrriatafl
,aonoys for Tho puspose authorized nv tba

though essentially dishonest, may doter tho
lresidont from vetbIng the bill, ajnce lo mav
not bo willing to lsputo tho AUTHORITY Of
Congress to bostow and withhold appropria-.
tions recording to its own Judgment.
2. The Legislative, Executive, aud Ju-
iicial Appropriation ti]l of last year
will be extended for another year,
with materially tha samo itons and
details, except aa 10 tho provision for pnyi,tp
the arrearages OF pensions out Of tho fund
hsld heretofore for tho redemption Of frac-
tiona} currency. There has bon no Disagree
ment botwoeu the President and the ruling
majority in Congress Oh to tho amount Of ap-
propriations; and, as tho President eau only
accept what Congress chooses to give for the
maintenance of tho Government, there would
seem to ho no reasonable ground for vatoing
this bill. Nevertheless this extension Of last
years bill will leave tho "jndicial expenses"
uuproyidod fur, which include fees for iurors
and witnesses, cost Of obtaining prisoners.
