The following Is the text OF the pres
ident's message, Yetolng the marshal
bill:
! To he House Of Representatives.:
return TO the house of representatives, in which
it originated, the BILL entitled, IAN act making APP
preparations TO pay the fees OF United States
shais land their general deputies, with the following
OBJECTIONS
to its becoming law. The bill !appropriates the
sum of S600,00O for the payment during the fiscal
wear ending June 30, 1889, Of
UNITED STATES NARsHALs
and their general deputies. The officers thus provi-
ded Tor essential to the faithful execution of the
laws They were created and their powers and dp-
ties defined by congress at its first session after the
adoption of the constitution In the Judiciary act
which was approved September "a 1883, their gen.
era duties defined in the act which originally
tablished them, We're substantially as those pre-
scribed in the statutes now in force The principal
provision on the subject in the revised statutes is
Section 49, at shall be the

courts, when sitting therein, and TO execute through
the district all lawful precepts directed to him
and issued under authority of the United States and
be shall have power to command all necessary assist
ance in the execution of his duty" The original
act was amended February IS, 1895, and the amend
ment is found in the revised statutes in the fol-
lowing form :" Section 7Ss. The marshals and
their deputies shall have in each state the pow

of which is required for the efficiency Of almost
every branch of the public service. Without these
officers there would be no means of executing war

THE OBJECT MANlFEsTLY0
to place before the executive thNalternatiyc;
Either To allow the necessary functions 81 the
public service to be crippled or suspended for
want OF the appropriations required to keep them
in operation or to approve legislation, which III
hts official communication to congress he has de-
Cared would be a violation OF his constitutional
duty. Thus in this bill the principle is clearly
embodied that by virtue OF the provision of the
constitution which requires that all bills for rats
ing revenue SHOULD originate In hehouse Of rep
reseutatives, and bare majority Of the house OF
representatives has the right to withhold appro-
prrtlOns FOR The support Of the government, un-
less the executive consent to approve any legis-
lation which may be attached to appropriation
bills,
RESPECTFULLY REFER
TO the communications ON this subject which
have sent 10 congress, during it's present session,
Tor u statement or the grounds of my conclusions
and desire here merely to repeat that in my
judgment to establish the principle OF this bill is
to make Il radical, dangerous ana unconstituton-
al change IN the character OF our Institutions.
