shall . WidOwer Marry q De.
ceaseA Wffess Sister.

THE Prince of Wales and his brot her
the Duke Of EdinbIrg last night figured
In the British House of Lords as cham
pion of the cause of deceased wives SIS
ters. The Prince presented a petition
from q, 3,258 Norfolk farmers asking for the
assage of . bill permitting a man to
marry his deceased wifes sister, and he
made speech in advocacy OF the meas
ure. On the second reading of the bill
the Prince and his brother voted for it,
but it failed, nevertheless, by vote OF
l01 TO S1-fourteen of the bishops voting
to sustain the Government in its opposi-
lion to the measure. This is, we believe
the first time that the Prince OF Wales
has ever figured in the House of Lords as
the direct advocate of any measure, and
he certainly might have gone further aud
done worse in seeking for q mea ,ure TO
advocate. The plohibi ion against the
marrying of man with his deceased
wife's sister seems to be supported by
most of those who do support it with con-
siderable obstinacy on the same grounds
that Lord Piunket supported the Estab-
lished Church.. e., because it was es-
tablished. 1t is scarcely to be supposed

the arguments in favor of the measure
which the Prince of Wales and his brother

lutely no good reason in morals or COM

VETO MESSAGE NO. ).

Thursday the President sent 10 the House
his objections 10 the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation bill, which
may be briefly stated - follows:
!. Because the bill which contains the
grant of money essential 10 keep in opera
ton the functions OF Che great depart
mentS of the Government embraces num-
Der of clauses wholly foreign 10 such u
measure, which have been tackled 10 it by
Congress for the purpose of depriying the
Executive of his constitutional rights and
10 the free exercise of his own discretion
and judgment touching general legislation
> Because the clauses of the bill referred
To, amending and repeating the existing
election laws, while they admit, in vague
and feeble manner, the right of the Federal
Government 10 Scrutinize elections, de-
prive it OF the power 10 interfere in = man
ner To protect citizens in their rights and
10 prevent fraud.
3. Because the history of recent elections
in the large cities proves the necessity Of
Federal supervision and the enforcement
OF the existing laws in order to insure fair
elections and 10 prevent those Slaring
frauds, which, if allowed to be repeated,
will render free government impossible.
ANY one of the reasons above given al
fordS sufficient ground for the veto Of the
Legislative bill. Taken together, the OBJ
iections of the President 10 the clauses Of
the bill repeating the election laws leave
the majority no tenable ground for further
attempts to repeal existing statutes. Frauds
have been proven, frauds of the most pos
tive and glaring nature. Ii is shown that
the present laws are sufficient TO prevent
them. The best sentiment Of the country,
its conscience and patriotic intelligence,
in all parties, demand free and fair cleo
tions. That sentiment will sustain the
President in his efforts 10 Illustrate the

any such scheme IS that, vet it may be
well to inquire into the workings Of "a
plan which Is 50 seriously advocated by
many members of this party.
II there were three Governmental loan
Offices In Maine, as Mr.. Miller suggests,
II would be impossible for the agents TO
know whether or not every loan asked for
were based upon good security, and thus
thc Government would lose largely by
bad debts. Our Savings Banks, located
within comparatively "a few miles Of one
another, make many bad debts. They
are managed by business men who have
been In the habi, Of loaning money, and
who are better acquainted with the mort

plan. You can suggest no means by
which the agent could ascertain the value
of property with any certainty. If ne

agents, for him. TO visit the property, the
capital would soon be eaten up IN fees.
The governments loss, by poor invest
mCnts, would be enormous, # the money
II proposed TO loan were of any value.
Declarations by bank cashiers and post
masters are very common. If men in

HOW EATON DROPPED WEBSTER.

\ few weeks ago Senator Eaton, of Con-
necticut, interrupted Senator Dawes, of
Mass, with the assertion that Daniel
Webster had characterized the Union rs
IA confedcracy.' Mr.. Dawes did not
seem positive enough to deny it, but Mr..
Blaine did and a sharp little colloquy en-
sued, ending by Mr.. Eaton's promise to
produce Webster's language to prove his
statement. The public have been waiting
ever since. and Connecticut paper whet-
ted curiosity by announcing that Eaton
was going to ''jump on Blaine" Senator
Eaton made his speech ut last on Friday
and set everybody laughing by good-na-
turcdly confcSsing at the outset that he
was mistaken about the doctrines andwords
of Webster. He caused good deal of
mirth by adding, that he had made his re
mark about Webster to the Senator from
Massachusetts, and there would not have
been any controversy if the Senator from
Maine had not put In his oar Mr.. Blaine

auditors.
