THE SICK CHIEFTAIN.
Dr. Pepper Says Sheridan Is No Worse
Not Rettsr.

Dr. Pepper Says Sheridan 10 No Worse II
Not Better.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-Dr. VIM.
Pepper stated to Q representative Of tho
Associated Press last night. that he had
returned at o'clock from visit to Gen.
Sheridan at the Delaware breakwater, In
consultation with his attending physicians.
There had been, Tuesday, return Of un-
favorable symptoms Of embarrassed breath
ing and circulation with mental confusion.
But the meaures, which were promptly
adopted, caused their rapid subsidence,
and reaction occurred much more promptly
than after any previous attack. Careful
examination showed that no local compli-
cation has developed and II is clear that
the above transient symptoms were largely
due to the disturbing and fatiguing effects
of an encounter of some hours duration
with quite rough weather before the shell
ter of the break water was reached.
This, however, was only temporary in
convenience. The advantages of his pres
ent position are manifest The voyage
will be speedily completed, 1t may be con.
fidently asserted. The substantial i'm
provement in all organic condition re-
mains, and the prospects Of satisfactory
progress Of the case are fully ~ good ~ ut
any previous time. II Is impossible to
overestimate the admirable advantages
provided for him on the Swatara, which
affords him the benefits Of pure, brscing
air, with all the safety and comfort Of his
home.

Railroad Men DESERVING Harrison by the

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 5.-The rail-
way employe element here is thoroughly
aroused as to the report of General Harri-
son in connection with it. Clubs Of rail
way men are being formed for the cam
paign. Among batch Of interviews held
with the class to-day the following are
selected:
W. L. Beeks-I intend to vote for Cleve-
land, and l can show you large number
Of railroad men who will do the same.
They do not like Harrison for the part he
took in the strike, Hundreds Of railroad
men throughout the State will vote the
Democratic ticket.
NJ. @. Ella, q Republican railroader, was
interviewed. He declared for Harrison,
and began to name other railway men who
were .iust like him." The first man he
named was Dan Dillon. Dillon happened
to come along just as Ella made the declar-
ton. Dillon fred up aud saidi Don't

THE VETO POWER
As Exercised by the President Defended IN
the Senate.


the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senator Turpie,
in behalf of the Democratic minority of the
Committee on Pensions, presented a mi
nori.y report in the Senate to-day, dis
senting from the views in regard to the
veto power expressed by Senator Davis.
The minority say: "We regard that power
as qualified negative upon that Of Con-
gress, not derogatory to their rights Of
action. Neither the power or its action
can be an encroachment upon the province
of Congress, since both are provided for
in the Constitution. Mr.. Storey, in his
Justly celebrated letter commenting upon
it says: The power is important as an ad-
tional security against the enactment Of
rash, mature and improper laws Speak
ing Of the action OF the executive therein,
the same author remarks; His view, if not
more wise or more elevated, will at least be
independent and under an entirely differ
ent responsibility to the nation from what
belongs TO Congress He is the representa-
tive Of the whole nation in the aggregate.
They are the representatives only Of dis
tinct parts.
1--WE do not think the frequency Of the
exercise of this power upon the subject of
private bills, even if it were legitimate OBJ
lection thereto is at all made out as
charged. 0ut ofthe large number Of such
bills very small percentage have heen re-
turned with objections. The vetoed tears
q very inconsiderable proportion to the
number of the applications As to the
means Of information made use of
by the executive as basis
tor his objections, the President has Ger
tainly 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
fund, out Of which pensions are paid, is Q
fund Of such quality that it cannot be
guarded too carefully sgainst immature
legislation. The President equally with
member of the legislative bodies has the
right and duty imposed upon him to form
and express his opinion with regard to the
justice of a pecuniary claim, against this
fund; being snswersble under his oath and
conscience only 10 the constituency of the
nation for his action therein. As to the
merits of the particular bills recited in the
committee, we deem it unnecessary for
rs to express an opinion at this time, being
willing to do 80 at such time rs the
qestion proper arises upon the final pass
sge thereof"
The report is signed by Senators Turpie,
Blodgett, Faulkner and Wilson, Of Mary
land,

IT Is UN-AMERICAN.
What . Prominent Manufactures says Of
the Republican Platform.

What . Prominent Manufacturer ssys o
the Republican Platform.
NEW YORK, July 4.-One Of the bes'
known manufacturers of brass and iror
goods in the West, Mr.. N. o. Nelson, ol
the N. o. Nelson Manufacturing Com
psny, Of st. Louis, is the latest to bolt The
Republican platform and its close-con.
munion protection plank. Mr.. Nelson
has never voted for Q Democrat and, q
be rays himself, was born . Republican,
but he can't stand the Chicago platform.
He employs 800 men and manufactures
machinery and steam and plumbing goods.
A reporter saw Mr.. Nelson at the Murray
Hill Hotel last night, and he was out
spoken in his disapprovAl Of what he
termed, 80 manifestly Q party slogan-a
catch"
''This country does not need the sort Of
protection they propose" he said. ut is
un-American. Ii is intended 10 be pro.
hibitory, and to cut of our trade with
other countries. 1t is in fact belittling
America by assuming that she hasn't got
surplus brains enough to compete with the
simple cheap labor Of other countries.
We are doing Q very considerable export
business now. Eastern manufacturers In
my own line send quantities Of goods to
Europe, and American lathes and tools,
iron pumps, pipe fittings, steam valves and
the like are exported regularly and largely,
Notwithstanding the alleged excessive cost
Of raw material. The radical mistake the
party made at Chicago was in setting their
face against reform Of any sort or proper
revision. which they promised in their
platform of 1884"
Then you are not one Of those manu-
facturers who tell their employees in case
Harrison is not elected wages will be cut
in two, and half the mills will be shut
down?'
THAT sort Of talk 10 the sheerest and
purest nonsense. Any manufacturer knows
it is rot the poorest and lowest-priced labor
that is the most profitable. That is well
illustrated by the fact that the slave labor
at the South could not compete with the
North, nor can convict labor compete with
free labor now"
Mr.. Nelson said that he had already met
scores Of his Republican friends who
thought ss he did in this matter. He sails
on the Alaska to-day for o two-months'
European trip. Mr.. Nelson Is one Of the
few manufacturers who share their profits
with their workmen.

The excuse that HARRISON'S friends
are now Offering for his Chinese votes is
absurd His many votes sgainst restric-
tion Of Chinese immigration were not cast
from any sense of treaty obligations, for
the simple reason that there were no such
Obligations in the case, as Speaker CAR
LIsLE has fully explained. The claim is
not only absurd when We consider the Da-
ture OF the amendments on which HARRI-
son voted, hut is an insult to the majority
Of Congress, including many Republicans,
who voted for the restriction, and the
memory OF President Arthur who signed
the bill. It is, furthermore, an insult 10
the millions of workiUgmen in the
United States ST whose behest Mr.
ARTHUR signed the measure. Has HAR-
RIsON's vote to admit skilled Chinese
laborsrs along with unskilled anything to
do with treaty obligations? Has his vote
to empower United States Courts to admit
Chinese to American citizenship and to
place the ballot in their bands anything to
do with treaty obligations, even though
such obligations had existed? Ga the in
side of this impression will be fonnd de-
tailed statement of the proceeding Of the
Senate on this Chinese restriction measure,
together with the various amendments
offered, and the Senators who voted with
HARRISON upon them, aud We leave these
questions for the people to answer after
they have rsad the record.
