The Situation To-day.

HOW THE SECOND VETO MESSAGE IS RECEIVED.
The republicans in Congress are of course
elated over yesterdays veto message, declare
that 1t Is an able state paper, and more than
that, the act certainly demonstrates that the
President Is In complete accord with the party

declare that the message is insolent and dlsin-
genious, the abler minds In the afty frankly
meaning OF the bill he has vetoed In q fallactous
light, that the message is as strong document
In defence OF what they say Is the the Presidents
made, and is formulated In strong argumenta-
tive way. 1t is impossible to predict what
The NEXT MOVE OF THE DEMOCRATS
Wl be- for the good tia
know. The Bourbon elements OF the party
say that the democrats must now either back
squarely out or sail in. BY this is meant that
without the political riders, or that Congress
must adjourn and let both bills fail. The trou-
BILE with the latter plan is that the party cannot
OF attempting 1t is that it would probably fail
and then the party would be placed in a bad
light before the country. Another plan which
sand men, abolish the Office of general and
keep the forces to the front and lop OF all whose
headquarters have been In cities and who are
known as citizen soldiers.
THE PLAN MOST SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATED
Lnough Is TO go ahead and pass the legislative
bill with the political riders attached In the
Senate; Then wait for the veto, which is
assuredly expected. Next pass the political
riders in separare bills, and IL they are vetoed
pass the legislative bill without them, with the
proviso In all the items for the Department of
Justice, that not one dollar is to be used for the
pay ment OF SUI Lervisors or deputy marshals. If
the President signs the bill In this shape, which
is an open question, the army bill will then be
passed with restrictions in the items providing
np.nane f9r the transportation Of the troops. The
seek to accomplish in this roundabout way that
which they have failed to get in g direct way
that the President will again veto the bill
on the ground that it aims to restrict his DOW

ch1ef OF the army. Should he do this there Will
De three horns to the democratic dilemma:
aSa Back out and pass the pending bill; pass res
o!ut1on extending the disputed bill on the basis
1a1l. There are some who favor passing the
legislative bill and to let the army bill fall. It
is expected that joint caucus will be held to-
morrow to consider the matter

both houses have had conference and make
