as they may unite with Arab, England begin

Elliott, Streator photographer, having
sold his car to a Mr.. Callahan tor $1j cash

in hurry, carrying away all the available

Elliott had been on drunken caroGse for the

vicious habits from time to time and his de-

THE VETO VETOED,

Congress on Wednesday gave President Ar
thur an awful black eye by passing the rive
and harbor bill over his veto. The credit Of
managing the rebellion" is given to Congress
man Page of California. AT no test vote taken
on the bill in the house while on It's passage
had there ever been two.thlrds in its favor
The last vote of the kind, taken week ago
showed that it lacked eleven votes of having
twothirds.
| However, after the reading of the veto on
succeeded in forcing an adjournment, and
they had the night to work IN. They soon
got assurances from senators that if the house
passed the bill over the veto the senate would
do So This was strong lever in the hands
of the friends of the bill, and they made the
best use of 1t. When the house met on
Wednesday they were ready, and as the veto
was first IN order and there could be no debate
upon it, voting at once began. The vote stood
1879 for to SO against the passage of the bill
over the veto, being more than twothirds
Seventy three members, however, were paired,
and as each pared vote counted two tor the
bill to one against it, the bill, on a full vote of
all the members would have been defeated.
Mr. Page is credited with the ingenuity of
having devised the success of the bill by in.
ducing SO many members to pair off
In the senate the veto Jared worse than In
the house. The vote on the passage of the
bill, "the Presidents objections to the contra.
ry notwithstanding" stood 41 to &c. There
was no pairing of, and of the 10 absentees
the majority.
Politically the vote is about equally divided /;
that is, of those in the house who voted
against sustaining the veto IS were democrats
and 81 republicans, and of those who voted for
1t q were democrats and 30 republicans, IN
each case the number corresponding with the
relative strength of the two parties In the
senate there were % democratic to IS republl
can votes against the veto and 10 republican
and democratic to sustain it,
Probably no language the President might
have employed IN the veto-no arguments
presented-would have changed this outcome;
yet II is admitted that the veto, which we
publish elsewhere, was weak document. For
instance, the President places his opposition
to the bill upon the ground that it is uncon.
stitutional, yet he says II 1t contained pro.
vision that not more than one-half of the
amount appropriated in each case need be ex-
pended except in the discretion of the execu.
tive, he would have approved it-approved
an unconstitutional bill!
The victory Is one of the West and South
over the East. Hitherto all the heavy appro-
prlations were made tor improving harbors,
building lighthouses and docks on the Allan,
tie coast, and on Eastern bays and inets,,
while the great western rivers got compare.
lively nothing. Now the tables are turned.
The West and South claim share and as
they have had little heretofore and have the
strength in congress, they go in for a big
share!
