filed subsequent to the passage OF the law
As bis family are without means and his con-
dition 10 such 40 to make him an object Of
special consideration. Congress passed bill
exempting him from this limitation and CIV
ing him arrears. The President vetoed the
act on the ground that under it he would be
paid the sum Of $4,000. This, he thought. was
establishing bad precedent. and while he
admitted the justice of the claim he looked
upon the bill az a mere charity and objected
TO it for that reason.
For vetoing bills which have no merit,
which establish precedents that open the
door to fraud, the President is certainly to
be commended. but with an ex-rebel at
the head of the department embracing the
Pension Bureau, receiving salary OF
$1,000 year. the country will not praise
the President for insisting on technicalities
andvetoing "meritorious'' bills. The peo-
pie will rather look at his doings in this
direction as small and contemplate bust
ness. He had better look after the cor
ruption which exists in his Cabinet, and
give his attention to checking the rapacity
of his political henchmen in Congress and
the country, if he desires the good will
