New-York tribune., 1879-04-29

President will direct the attention of the House TO
the Objectionable method by which it is attempted
10 force this legislation into the statute books 1t
is extraneous matter upon an appropriation Dill.
This method the President will critcise as always
Objectionable and dangerous, 1t was not the prac-
tce of Congress to resort to this expedent in the
early days of the Republic, if a single instance
of it occurred during the first forty years after the
Constitution adopted
The object of attaching riders to Appropriation
bills is to force through Congress measures which
cannot stand upon their own merits. OF in the way
of which the rules of house the other stand.
At the close of a session of Congress, when time is
limited, and when the eXtraneous legislation is
necessary and is known to meet the approval of
both houses of Congress and of the Executive, the
Presldent may admit there may be an excuse for
joining together in the same bill provisions which
have no relation TO OF dependence upon each other.
But that excuse cannot be advanced in this case.
This is the beginning of session of Congress, when
there is plenty Of time to pass the appropriation
bill and to vote upon these political measures
separately.
The President concludes, therefore, that the pur-
pose of the House Of Representatives IN putting
the sixth section into the Army bill is to the
Executive into the approval Of measure to which
he was known TO be opposed. This the President
believes is subyersive of the Constitution and not
TO be tolerated for moment. 1t would make the
House Of Representatives the usurper of all the
powers of government; for, although the
Army bill had the approval Of the Senate
In the present instance-and this fact makes
the situation more seriOus-the subject must be
dealt with in the light Of its history. The House
Of Representatives in the last Congress attempted
