A Mhole Family Bnrned.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, July "A farm
house belonging to George Dobbs, located
about seven miles from here on the Canada
side of the river, was destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning. Four of the inmates
persisted in the flames. The fire started
from smudge and when discovered by Mrs.
DObbs, who is seventy years of age, had made
such Roadway as to be beyond control. Mrs.
Dobbs quickly awoke her husband. George
Dobbs, aged seventy-two, and David MerTi-
field aged twenty-one, and descended to the
lower -four. While cropping about in the
smoke she stumbled and fell through
a trap door into cellar and from
there made her escape to the open
air. The two men, unable to find any
means of exit in the dense smoke, fell back
into The flames and were consumed. Two
children, Alice Thompson, aged nine, and an
other child, were asleep in another part of the
house and persisted without a sound, being
probably sufiocated. The woman, who had no
time TO put on any clothing, lay exposed to the
chilly air until morning, when her cries at.
tracted the attention of a neighboring farmer.
She is badly burned and there is little hope for
her recovery

A sample Protectionist.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 5.-[Special.l-
The consideration of the Mills tariff bill still
continues. The republicans are stubbornly
opposing every effort of the democrats to re-
duce the tariff on the most common nocessaries
of life. Congressman White, of Indiana, is a
fair sample of the opposition to such reduction.
In speaking of the sugar tax he recently said
on the floor of the house: 81 only wish they
(the commmittee) had doubled it. 1t would be
no hardship to the people of this county if
they had doubled The tariff on sugar As it is
now, the tariff on sugar is nOtenough." Further
on Mr.. White also said ''The poor people
pay none of the tariff except on whisky and
tobacco" He favored taking the tax off of
these items, because, he said, at would relieve
the workingmen from the tax they pay
on whisky and tobacco" This latter
remark was loudly cheered by the re-
publican protectionist from the East
to whom Mr.. White seemed to adj
dress his remarks. 1t is not likely that vote
on the Mills bill viii be reached for sometime
yet and perhaps it is well, as the reform tariff
sentiment is gaining ground all over the coun-
try daily.

THE PENSION VEToEs.
Views of the Democratic Minority of the
Committee of the Senate.

views or the Democratic Minority OF tn
Committee of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senator Turpie in
behalf of the democratic minority of the COM
mittee on pensions to-day presented minority
report dissenting from the views in regard to
the veto power expressed by Senator Davis in
a majority report from the pensions commit
tee. The minority says: 1--WE regard that
power as a qualified negative upon that of con-
gress, not derogatory to their rights or action.
Neither can the power of its exercise be re-
garded as an encroachment upon the province
of congress since both are provided for in the
constitution. Mr.. Story, in his justly cele-
brated commentary upon that instrument, says
respecting it: The power is important as an
additional security against the enactment of
rash, immature and improper laws Speaking
of the action of the executive therein the same
author remarks: His views, if not more wise
or more elevated, will at least be independent
and under an entirely different responsibility
TO the nation from what belongs TO congress.
He is the representative OF the whole nation in
the aggregate; they are the representatives only
of distinct parts
ave do not think the frequency Of the 'exer-
else of this power upon the subject of private
bills, even if it "a Legitimate objection
thereto, is at all made out as charged. Out of
the large number of such bills very small per-
centage have been returned with objections
The frequency bears a very inconsiderable
proportion to the number of applications. AS
to the means. of information made use of by the
executive as basis for his objections, the
president has certainly the same right to make
use of the records, files reports and opinions of
the pension bureau as members of congress
The money of the people in the treasury, the
fund out of which pensions are paid, is a
fund of such quality that it can
not be guarded too carefully against immature
legislation. The president equally with any
member of the legislative bodies has the right
and duty imposed upon him to form and ex-
press his opinion with respect to the justice of
a pecuniary claim against this fund, being an
swerable under his oath and conscience only to
the constituency of the nation for his action
therein.
Gas to the merits of the particular bills re-
cited in the committed report wedeem it TO be
here unnecessary for us to express opinion
at this time, being willing to do so at some such
time as questions properly arise on the final
passage thereof" The report is signed by
Senators Turpie, Blodgett, Faulkner, and VIII

The President Again Expresses His Views
Upon the Many Private Measures.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE president sent to
congress to-day message vetoing bill grant
ing pension to Mary Ann Doherty. 1t states
that large share of the report of the senate
committee on pensions adopted also by the
house committee) consists of the. petition in
which the woman says that her husband who
had served in a New Jersey regiment) left her
in 1865 and has not been heard of since. She
had received pension as the widow of Daniel
Doherty until it was discovered that he was
alive aud living in Philadelphia, and was him
self drawing a pension there. She had sue
ceeded in getting the pension in the first in
stance by much false swearing. The police
records of Washington (where she has been
living) show her to be a woman of very bad
character and that she had been under arrest
nine times for drunkenness larceny, creating
disturbances and other misdemeanors
The president then enters upon considera-
ton of the pension legislation generally, and
says: 81 cannot spell out any principle upon
which the bounty of the government is
bestowed through the instrumentality of the
flood of private pension bills that reach me-
The theory seems TO have been adopted that no
man who served in the army can be the subject
of DEATH or impaired health, except that they
are chargeable to his service. Medical theories
are set at naught aud the most startling rea-
ton is claimed between alleged incidents of
military service and disability or death. Fatal
apoplexy is admitted as the result of quite in
