TURPIE ON VCTOES.
Minority Report of the Senate Committee
on Pensions.

on Pensions.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Scnator Turp c,
in behalf of the Democratic minority of the
Committee on Pensions, yesterday present
ed a minority report dissenting from the
views in regard 10 the veto power eX-
pressed by Senator Davis in ma jority
report from the Pensions Committee. The
minority says
We regard that power as qualified negative
upon that of Congress- not derOgatory to their
rights of action. Neither the power Of its exeT'
else eGh be regarded as an encreachmeut upon
the province OF Congress, since both are pro
vided for in the Constitution. Mr., Story in his
justly celebrated commentary upon that instru-
ment says respecting it, THE power is impor-
tant as an additional security against the enact
ment OF rash, immature and improper laws.
Speaking OF the action Of the executive there
in, the same author renarksi His views If not
more wise, or more elevated will II least be in
dependent and under entirely different re'
sponsibility TO the Nation from what belongs 10
Congress. He is the representative OF the
whole Nation in the aggregate; they are the
representatives only of districts in parts
We do not think the frequency Of the e1er'
else OF this power upon the subject of private
bills, even if it were a legitimate objection
thereto, is at all made out as charged. Out OF
the large number OF such bills very small per
The frequency bears a. very incons iderable pro-
portion to the number of the applications As
10 the means OF information made use Of by
the executive as a basis for his objections, the
President has certainly the same right to make
use of the records, files, reports and opln.
ions of the Pension Bureau as members OF Con-
gress. The money OF the people in the treas
ury, the fund out of which pensions are paid, is
a fund OF such quality that il can not be guarded
too carefully against immature legislation.
The President, equally with any member of the
legislative bodies, has the right and duty i'm
posed upon HIM to form and express his opinion
with respect to the justice OF pecuniary claim
against this fund, being answerable, under his
oath and conscience, only to the constituency
of the Nation for his action therein. As TO the
merits OF the particular bills recited in the com
mittee's report, We deem it here unnecessary
for US to express an opinion at this time, beng
willing TO do so at such time as the question
arises upon the final passage thereof.
The report is signed by Senators Turpi",

HONORING HERSELF.
How a Bright Vassar Girl Earned He
College Expenses.

College Expenses
Every girl knows the value put upon
money by schoolgirls, even when they
become college girls, and the one who
would have the courage TO be-
come in sense the maid and
seamstress OF n claSsmate for
the sake of earning money to pay her
expenses deserves the honor, respect
and admiration of every American girl.
Nothing paltry nor mean could touch
such a girl. She will make her mark,
and win any position for which she
aims.
Some of the girls who go to Vassar,
SAYS one of our exchanges, are as help
less as babes. They are the daughters
of rich men. and would not have it
supposed that they ever brushed their
own hair or sewed button on their
boots In their lives. They are only
too glad to have some one do these
things for them, and that is how the
poorer girls make pocket money. Last
year a pretty, blue-eyed girl came to
college, and stated during the first
week that her tuition and board were
paid by a kind relative, but every pen
ny for dress, car fare. and the thousand
and one little incidentals she must
earn herself.
Soon after her arrival the following
announcement appeared on her door:
Gloves and shoes neatly mended for
ten cents each.
breakfast brought up for ten cents,
Hair brushed each night for twenty
five cents week.
Beds made up at ten cents week. }"
That little freshman made one hun
dred and fifty dollars the first year, and
that paid all her expenses, and a good
part of her tuition fees.-I Youths Cone

Electric Coal-Mining Machine.

miles. The plant, as a whole, is TO
consist of central dynamo, conduct
ing wires, coal-cutting machine, cleo

for hanging the mining cars. The in
ventors claim, as an advantage in favor
of the coal cutters, that single ma
chine will not weigh more than five
hundred pounds. According to esti-
mates, which. it is claimed, are made

THE Department of Agriculture's re-
port on the fruit prospects this year
says that 1888 being numerically an
even year, should be favorable season
for apples, and the fruit returns of the
season show generally a good pros
pect in every important fruit sec
ton. especially in New England and
the Middle States. The outlook is less
favorable in Virginia, the Carolinas
and Georgia than any other part of the
country. The condition of the peach
crop is generally reported lower than
that of apples. but in the most impor-
tant States the reverse of this seems to
he true.
