A Test Meanure.


Il is understood to be the purpose Of
the Democratic leaders to pass the bill
introduced by Senator Bnyard to regu-
late the pay and appointment Of special
deputy marshsls, through the House
and Senate and send II to tho President rs
early as possible next week. 1t differs
from the rider of the vetoed appropria-
ton bill by requiring appointments to
be made annually. and by rcason also
OF several amendments designated to be
made to Abviate objections that have
been urged against the forms Of expires.
sion and working machinery Of the
original clause.
Here is chance for Hayes 70 sho=
the people whether his veto OF the do.
ficiency bill was really, rs ho claims. be-
cause OF the above measure Icing
attached to il as n rider, or whether he
was governed in his action in the matter
by narrow partizan prejudice. The
only reason assigned by Mr.. Hayes for
his veto was his conscientious dIsap-
Proval Of the system inaugurated md
successfully practiced by Republicans
through n long course Of years. OF floating
disastrous measures upon the backs OF
appropriation bills. Although the Dem.
ocrats in Congress, in view of tue many
undue advantages taken OF them by
this process. were fully justified in their
late attempt to struggle against unjust
Partizan law. by adopting the unwar-
ranted course OF their political adversa-
ries. there will be no complaint from
Democrats at their defeat provided that
the Chief Magistrate shall frown upon
every effort of a similar nature from
whatever source. Presented in the
manner now proposed, the Presidents
former objections to the bill cannot be
urged. and his action will be awaited
with considerable interest. II his objec.
:ion to this bill was, as he claims. based
solely upon the ground Of its having
been a rider. TO which chumcter Of leg
is!"iion he is unqualifisdly opposed, he
must not hesitate to indorse its passage
as now presented.
The course pursued Mr.. Hayes since
he has been acting President, has not
been one calculated to inspire conf.
dence in his honesty or sincerity. but 1t
is possible that in this instance he may
SO fur violate his unfortunately misera-
Ile nature Rs to act consistently and
sincerely, just for once.
