reforms. In the meantime the Indie.
pendent North, from whom the cast,
ing vote must come, has plainly laid
down the law that whoever be in The
wrong the appropriations must not be
shut of. Recognizing this ultimatum,
the Democratic party has cndcavorcd
TO carry it measures without resorting
to extremes. But Hayes has vetoed
every proposition. 1t has hccn gen
orally thought that Congress would
now pass the appropriation bills and
adjourn without delay. But the cau-
Gus has determined to make another
effort. The army appropriation bill
will be passed with simple proviso
that no money shall be expended in
paying troops detailed on police duty.
In the other bill no provision will bc
made for paying supervisors and
deputy marshals, and in addition to
tho law already existing that no ap-
pointmcnt shall be made for any
office before Congress makes an appro-
priation for it, an additional proviso
will be inserted that no obligation
shall be incurred in advance Of appro-
priations. 1t has heretofore been the
custom to appoint marshals and to ask
Congress to pay them. The enact
mcnt Of this proviso will prevent this
In future. The new measure instead
of clanging the law for all time to
come is merely in force for this year.
The advocates Of the new measure
claim that president cannot veto
al appropriation bill which docs not
provide everything. But VIC think
that Hayes has just now reached that
degree Of stifl-ncckcdncss that he will
veto the proposed bill as swiftly as he
did any others. lie will say that This
is mere subtcrfuge to paralyzo the
arm of tho executive, and must be
disapproved. We sec little use in
trying any further. Should this latest
move be successful we confess the
Democrats will have scored u point.
But it docs seem too late to try it now
There was time when Hayes would
have approved such II bill, but he has
gone over bodily into the stalwart
camp, and nothing need be expected
OF him. Congress may yet have
either to pass the bills pure and SIM
pic or run the risk Of fighting the
North.

who, after having been given up rs

and nothing was heard Of him until
after August. His ship, tho Vcgo, was
