The Presidents veto of the Judicial
Expenses bill finds the Democrats as
much at sea about their policy as ever
The wiser heads among them are en-
phatically opposed to leaving the Uni
ted States courts without the appropria-
tons necessary for the conduct of cur
rent business. The salaries of the chief
officers of these courts are provided for
in the regular appropriation bill, and
the stOppage of the contingent expenses
necessary to keep the courts running,
would merely result in leaving Judges,
District Attorneys, and District Mar
shals in enforced idleness, but in full en-
joyment of their salaries. To compel
the closing of these courts after the 1st
of July merely because the President re-
fused to permit the abrogation of the
power to appoint Deputy Marshals in
six or eight Congressional districts this
Fall would be an act of political lunacy
from which the majority of Democratic
Senators and the more reflective men,
bers Of the party in the House may well
shrink. Only four votes were cast in the
Sanate caucus in favor of the immediate
adjournment without further action,
which is favored by the extremists in
the House.
