OUR MILITARY,
The Military Academy ApprOpria'
ton Bill Passed.
The Labor Question introduced
Into the Debate.
The President Sent Two Veto
Messages to the Senate.

WAsHNGToN, May 8.-The House went
into Committee of the Whole on the Mill
tary Academy Appropriation bill Mr.,
Wheeler, of Alabama, said that no com
plant had been heard against single pro-
vision of the bill by the Secretary OF War
and thai. thersfors-it might be safely as,
sumed that the measure was adequate in
all its appropriations. The sum carried
by the bill was 1921 sO5. as against an ap,
preparation of $3lO,O2l for the current
fiscal year. Though the country was en-.
joying period of profound peace, ard
though some gentlemen thought an sppro-
priotion for the maintenance of the
Military Academy was unnecessary,
he coatended that it was wise that the
youth of the country should receive a
knowledge Of military tactics. All rations
in their dreams of peace forget the xperi-
encs of other nations.
T4E GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAY
WAS not the silver question, nor the tariff
qlestion, but it was the great labor queE-
ton. If the country was so happy as 10
change the laws which retained the pro-
duct of American labor at home and pre-
vented it's finding foreign market it
will surely come iuto contact and conflict
with foreign nations aud it was not too
early to consider the subject. Every great
country must have an army as symbol OF
its power. Up TO this time the national
honor was unimpeached but it was the
duty of members OF Congress to satisfy
themselves that it was impossible for one
nation or two nations to force the United
Stetes to permit New York and
Philadelphia and other Sea ports
20 be destroyed or to submit
an iguomimous peace. Every measure
Tor periecting the military strength OF
America should be well considered. The
military system should be improved, the
navy rehabilitated and the Notifications
put in a condition of defense.
Ms. WILSON oF WEST VIRGINIA.
while he was not in favor of lowering the
graduation standard at Annapolis or West
Point, thought the standard of admission to
institution at those places was too high
and exclded from the benefits Of military
and naval education fully 80 per cent OF
the youth Of the laad.
Mr. Henderson, Of Indiana, took the
same view.
The bill was then read by sections but
no amendments were offered. The com.
mttee rose and the bill was passed.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION.
The House again went into a committee
on the army appropriation bill.
Mr.. Rockwell, OF Massachusetts. criti-
ciz4d the appropriation Of 100000 for the
m manufacture OF arms at the National
armories, maintaining it was inadequate
aud tavoriug Gu increase to S400, 600. The
oil was then read by sections for amend
ment but without making much progress,
aud the committee rose and the House ad
iourned.

Gains which have been denied By such
bureau bearing the evidence tended to
show that the disability, though contracted
IN the service, was not incurred in line of
duty; 33 cover claims which have
been denied because the evidence
tended to show that the dis-
ability originated after the soldiers
discharge from the army; II cover clslms,
which have been denied because the gen.
eral pension laws contain 10 provision un-
der which they could be allowed; "a claims
have never been presented to the Pension
Bureau. l estimated the expenditure in.
volved in the bills at more than $35, 900
annually. Though my conception of pub
lie duty leads me to the conclusion upon
the slight examination which l have been
able to give to such Of those bills as
are not embraced in the first
class above mentioned, that may
OF them should be disappointed lam ut.
terly unable to submit within the time al
loved me for that pose for the ssne.
They will therefore become operative With.
out my approval. A sufficient reason for
the return of the particular bill now under
consideration is found in the fact that it
provides that the name of Andrew J. Hill
will be placed on the pension roll, while
the records of the bureau discloses the
fact that the name of the beneficiary is
Alfred Hill GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, May 8, 1886.
THE SECOND VETO MESSAGE
is as follows: herewith return without
approval bill numbered 5000, entitled
An act to increase the pension of Abigail
Smith, which bill originated in the House
Of Representatives. This proposed legis-
lstion does injustice to very worthy pen
sioner who was on the pansion roll at the
time OF the passage of the law which took
effect on the 10Th day of March last, and
by virtue OF which all pensions of her
class were increased from $3 to Sl2 per
month. Under this law she became eni
tied to her increased pension from the
date Of its passage.
The bill now returned allows her the
same amount, but if it becomes o law
suppose it would supersede her claim IN.
der the present statutes, aud postI one the
receipt by her OF the increase o the date
of the passage OF the new law. She would
thus lose for nearly two months the in
crease Of pension already secured to her"
Will be Acted Upo1.
