MORE PRESIDENTIAL vErOEs.

Mostly Pension, and Reads Congress An
other Lecture.
Washington Special Telegram, June 81
Those who have been watching to sea what
effect the presidents wedding would have
upon his official couduct got good deal
OF information to-day. Assistant Secre
tary Pruden carried an armiul OF vetoes
to the capitol, which he divided about
equally between the senate and the house
Thevetoed measures numbered fifteen. Thir-
teen are private pension bills, and the
Others provide for public buildings at Sioux
City, Iowa, and GAINESVILLE, Ohio. Accom-
panying the vetoes was message, in
which the president scolded congress for
passing so many pension bills and enact
ing ''reconsidered legislation" and it reads
as follows:
l am SO thoroughly tired OF disapprov-
ing gifts OF public money to individuals
who, in my viow have no right or claim to
the same. notwithstanding apparent con-
gressional sanction, that interpose
with feeling OF relief in a case where
/ find it unnecessary to determine the
merits OF the application. In speaking of
the promiscuous and ill-advised grants OF
pensions which have lately been presented
to me for approval. l have spoken OF their
apparent congressional sanction" in rec
ognition OF the fact that a large proper
tlOn Oh tnebe Oils nave never De6n submit
ted to a majority OF either branch OF con-
gress, but are the result of nominal ses
sions held for the express purpose of their
consideration and attended by small
minority of the members of the houses OF
the legislative branch OF the government.
Thus, in considering these bills, have not
felt that l was aided by the deliberate
judgment of congress, and when 1 have
deemed it my duty to disapprove many of
the bills presented, 1 have hard
ly regarded my action as
dissent from the conclusions OF the
peoples representatives. I have not
been insensible to the suggestion which
should influence every citizen. either in
private station or official place, to exhibit
not only just but generous appreciation
OF the services OF our country's defenders
In reviewing the pension legislation pre-
sented to me many bills have been ap-
proved upon the theory that every doubt
should be resolved in favor Of the proposed
beneficiary. l have not, however, been
able to entirely divest myself OF the idea
that the public money appropriated for
pensions is the soldiers fund, which should
be devoted to the indemnification OF those
who in the defense ofthe Union have worth
lily deserved and who in the day of their

The Custer Massacre Revived.

Bismarck, Dak., Special: Capt. Godfrey,
Lieut.. Slocum, Surgeon Porter and other
SURVIVORS Of the ill-fated Custer expedition
have gone to the HISTORIC battle field to prop
erly observe the tenth anniversary Of the
massacre, in which over three hundred
whites under Gen. Custer were engaged and
not a single one escaped, The Sioux Chiet
Gaul, now at Standing Rock agency, was In
command OF the Indiana who massacred
Custer and his companions, but until now
has maintained silence as to the details OF
massacre. He has consented, after ten
years, to 60 with the party and explain just
how the massacre occurred, the point Of
attack, etc. 1t has never been shown by
any one who was there. The prevalent
opinion that Sitting Bull was in command
is erroneous. Gaul was the warrior who
led in the disaster to the crack regiment Of
the United States army.

dependence resulting from such suffering
are entitled to the benefits OF their govern
ment. This reflection lends the bestowal
OF pensions kind OF sacredness which in
vites the adoption OF such principles and
regulations as will exclude perversion as
we'll as insure liberal and generous appli-
cation OF grateful and benevolent designs.
Heedlessness and disregard OF the principle
which underlies the granting OF pensions is
unfair to the wounded, crippled soldier who
is honored in the just recognition OF his gov
ernment. Such man should never find
himself side by side on the pension roll
with those who have been brought to at
tribute their natural ills to which human
ity is heir, to service in the army. Every
relaxation of principle in the granting of
pensions invites applications without
merit and encourages honest men to be-
come dishonest. Thus is the demoralizing
lesson taught the people that as against
the public treasury the most questionable
expedients are allowable.
The president suggests the significance OF
the startling increase in pension legislation
and the consequences involved in it's con-
tinuance.
The president vetoed the Sioux City
postoffice bill. His message is as follows:
The report of the committee to whom this
bill was referred states that by the census
Of 1880, the population OF Sioux City was
nearly S,OOO and that by another emu
meration since made it's population would
seem to exceed 23, 900. 1t is further stated
in the report that for the accommodation OF
this population the city contains 393 brick
and 2, 984 frame buildings. 1t seems to me
that in consideration OF the merits OF this
bill the necessities OF the governments should
control the question, and that it should

pending upon the needs oil government

duces the value OF statistics showing popu-
lation. extent OF business, prospective
growth and matters of that kind, which,
though exceedingly interesting, do not al
penditure of a large sum OF money for
public building find upon examination
that United States courts are sometimes
held at Sioux City, but that they have
been thus far held in the county court
house without any serious Inconvenience
and without any expense to the gov
ernment. There were actually no other
federal officers here for whom the govern.
ment in any view should provide accom-
rnodatIons, except the postmaster. The
postoffice is now located in n building rent
ed by the government until January !,
1889, at the rate OF $4,000 per annum.
By the last report OF the supervising arch
itect it appears that on October I, 1885,
there were eighty new public buildings in
course of construction, and that the
amount expended thereon during the pre-.
ceding year was nearly two and q hall
millions OF dollars, while large appropria-
tions were asked to be expended on these
buildings during the current year. In my
judgment the number Of buildings should
not at this time be increased unless
greater necessity exists than in this case.
