Presidential vetoes.

Reviewis & the past, it is not easy tc
find instances where veto has worked
anything approaching irreparable hafm,
or where the President exercising it may
not be regarded as acting in harmony
with his con ,ictions and political pfin-
ciples, certainly with his sincere
prejudices. On the other hand, Grants
opportune veto of the Senate Currency
bill, was one of the essential steps in that
splendid financial policy which saved
the nation from the perils of irredeem-
able paper money and strengthened its
credit beyond all precedent in his
tory Seven times did President HAYES,
one of the least popular and most meri.
torious Of the Presidential line, interpose
his veto when Congress, with hostile
majority, undertook to starve the Execu-
tive into submission by insisting on ac-
companying every appropriation for the
maintenance OF the government with
riders removing the safeguards that had
been thrown around elections in the re-
constructed Southern States. The vetoes,
like Andrew Jackson's veto of the Tenure
OF Civil Office bill, which became law
notwithstanding his objections, are in
terestlng examples OF what the trainers
regarded as the first and most inn
portant function of the veto, TO wit,
resistance 10 the encroschments of the
legislative power--a power against which,
they, mindful of the tyranny OF majyri.
ties, especially attempted to guard, by
resorting to all sorts of checks. such as
to congressional branches differing in
their constituencies, numbers and
lengths OF term; such also as the juris-
diction OF the Supreme Court over cases
arising under the Constitution and laws
of the United States, and especially by
lodging limited veto in the President.
1t Is a power which is likely to be ex-
ercised more and more freely than at
first. The delicacy with which the early
Presidents resorted to it is thing OF the
past. Even grim Jacks IN pales before
johnson, his brother Tennessean, in the
number and obstinacy of his vetoes. The
latter, and also Hayes. Grant and Ar
thur, exercised the power freely, and all
on the broadcast possible grounds-often
on the bald ground that there was s'no
necessity for" the measure proposed !;
again, as when there was question of the
admission OF Colorado or Nebraska as a
State; that the time had not come when
for the people Of the Territory its admis-
sion was wise. not in their opin-
ion, but the Presidents: or again,
that the proposed bill was in
furious to the banking system. The
business of the country increases as legis-
lation piles up its bills still higher. and
as The whole social and political network
grows more complicated in its demands
and conflict OF interests, and its multi
plicity Of interferences, more and more
will be the necessity of cutting Gordian
knots with the swift. sharp edge OF 9

in front Of the house where M. Grevy
regularly spends his afternoons. He
steps on to it the moment the dejeuner is

ite ancient authors-by the hundred

Presidents motto, and it is in the long
mornings which his matutinal habits
place at his disposal that he dispatches
the bulk OF his official business.

Those admirers of outdoor sports who
visited old Fleetwood Park on Saturday
afternoon last anticipating the pleasure
of witnessing sharply contested and
memorable struggle between those rival
runners, Edward G. Carter, of the New
York Athletic Club, the amateur cham
pion, and P. 7. Coneff, the Manhattan
A. G. crack, in the contest for individual
honors in the team race for the amateur
cross country championship, had their
expectations more than realized. 1t was
undeniably race for blood" from start
to finish, and more determined or gam
er struggle was never waged anywhere
Carter set out to make the pace, which
was warm throughout, and although his
special opponent kept close to him
until they were half mile from the goal +,
the severe lax upon his powers then
proved too great for nature to bear up
under and onnef fell on the track in q
dead faint, while his more fortunate an
tagonist went on and won the prize. Both
men had run the latter part OF the crack
ing race on pure gameness, and, although
Carter managed to keep on his feet to the

reached the worsted He could never
have had a race that put his speed,
stamina and pluck to a greater test than
this one, and he is certainly deserving OF
warm praise for victory so we'll earned.
Much concern was felt for the welfare
Of the gallant Irish lad, who lay insensi-
BILE on the path while shouts rent the air
in honor OF his coDqueror, and he was
given prompt attention. Naturally he was
very much disappointed over the result,
for this was race for which he had care
fully prepared himself, and which he
earnestly hoped and confidently expected
to win; but his defeat has nothing OF dis
grace attendant upon it, beaten as he was
by SO fine runner as Carter, whose stay
ing powers on this occasion
proved to be superior. 1t is not at all
likely that Connect will rest content with
defeat, however, and lovers Of The game
have reason to congratulate themselves
on The prospect of interesting and excit-
ing contests yet to take place between the
heroes of Saturdays event. AS was the
case last year, the team contest resulted
in the victory OF the Suburban Harriers,
whose representatives won with ease.
Owing to the absence w. J. nj. Barry
and w. l.. Coudon, the heavyweight
competition was less interesting than had
been anticipated, nothing remarkable be-
ing accomplished.

cricket in Southern California, as hear
that the CLUB have at last some slight
hope of securing suitable location on
which to practice the English national

not be disappointed as it would be a
great pity for the game to die out
amongst us after the brilliant start made
last season. Snould ground be secured
the club can hardly fail to have sue

menu prepared by the chef Of the es-
tablishment. In the brief speech made
by Sullivan, in response to the toast in
his honor, he wisely refrained
from offering excuses for his
virtual defeat in the battle with
Mi hell, further than to intimate
that the latter had really lost the fight
repeatedly by foul practices, and he took
occasion to reiterate in brief the formal
challenge issued by him to any man in
tne world, to fight in a sixteen foot ring,
for any part Of $4,000 a side, the same
being especially intended for his recent
antagonist and Jake Kilrain. Mitchell,
we'll satisfied to retire on the laurels
gained by making draw with the unde-
feated Sullivan on French soil, has
allowed the challenge to pass unheeded,
but Kilrain has signified his willingness
to make match, the fight to take place
in England, France, or West of the Mis-
souri, River. AS to whether he will agree
to battle in other than regulation sized
ring remains to be seen, but if he does not
he cannot be blamed, as the ground as
sumed by the Bostonian regarding the
dimensions OF the Enclosure is untenable,
and is virtual admission that he lacks
some of the essential qualities that COM
bine to make fifst-cla<s pugilist. As
Sullivan appears to be very anxious for
meeting, being aware that he must do
something to regain his lost prestige, he
probably will not insist upon the pro-
posed fight taking place in sixteen foot
ring, at least il Kilrain is to be his op 90
nent. The latter's hacker states his
readiness to match him for any part of
$25. 900, and asks the challenger to de-
posit 81 900 as evidence of good faith,
which amount he will promptly cover.

RIcycling.

The career of the American bicyclist,
Wi liam A. Rowe, abroad has not opened
very auspiciously, and from present ap-
pearances it does not seem likely that il
will result in much pecuniary profit, al
least for the person most interested. His
defeat by the English champion, ''Dick"
Howell, was supplemented by reverse
at the hands of William Wood. The
distance was twenty miles, and the ex-
citing and desperate character Of the con-
test may be inferred from the fact that
the Englishman won by foot only.
This Wood is not the professional rider
who visited this country and partici-
pated in one Of the tourna-
ments at Springfield, as likewise
elsewhere during his sojourn
in the States, but is an ex-amateur
rider, who, though not we'll known to
/ American riders or readers, either per-
sonally or by reputation, is very fast
racer, and is by many looked upon as
the looming man" beyond the briny.
That there is good reason for SO believing
is apparent, from the fact that a short
time ago he defeated Howell in race OF
hCoiiy viz catilC NicudttSC, AHio llinS iui
ther ahead than he did in the race with
the New Highlander; so that the latter's
defeat by him is hardly to be wondered
at. 1t seems to be simply question OF
time and opportunity for Wood to reach
the top Of the cycling tree in the land
where the pastime fourishes most.
Our representative was also unfortn-
nate in the second race of the champion
ship series with Howell. 1t took place
on saturday afternoon on the fast rack
at Wolverhampton, the distance being
one mile, and the Englishmun finished
score of yards ahead Of Rowe. The
friends of the American regarded this
event as almost certainty for him, and
his easy defeat would seem to indicate
that either he is not in the best of condi-
ton, or the English champion is even a
better wheelraan than his performances
