Congress her constitutional prerogative Of

money it appropriates shall be used.
The only preteKt for q veto is the omission
Of any appropriation for supervisors and
deputy marshals; and to refuse to approve
a bill appropriating money for various
specified objects, on the ground that II does
not contain an appropriation for some
other purpose, would be such an unpreoe-
dsnted attempt to coerce Congress. that

The speech of Hon, Benz. F. Jonas, Of
Louisiana, in the United States Senate on
the Goth of last May, was a complete and
unanswerable exposition of the corrupting
influence of employing Federal troops at
the polls. The law authorizing it ought to
be repealed, and the issue between Con-
greSs and the President is an issue in which
Congress is clearly in the right 1t may
not have been altogether wise for Congress
to bring up the issue exactly as it did, but
it Is obvious enough that Democrats have
taken a position on this question in har-
mony with the theory, practice and Con-
stitution of the Government Of the United
States. They can afford to go before the
country upon it. The charge that the
Democrats of Congress are prostituting
their positions to a mere question of Press
is an idle one, and not worth
considering. They are contending for
a principle vital to the liberty of the coun>
try and the purity of the ballot-box, and if
this sound principle is crushed for time
let the condemnation fall where it belongs.
