While Passing along they were greeted

protection to labor only to employers.

CoMPL1MENrING THE PRESIDENT

Perhaps no newspaper in the land
has said meaner things about Presl
dent Cleveland in the matter of his
pension bill vetoes than the New York
Tribune, the recognized chief organ OF
the Republican party. The editor goes
frantic with rage every time the Presl-
dent returns one of these bills without
his approval, and day after day the
Tribune teens with abuse of Mr.. Cleve-
land on account of his vetoes. At last
however, though we must believe 1t has
done so unwittingly, the atore-men-
toned organ has paid the President q
very high compliment. It confesses
that Congress passes and approves
good many fraudulent pension claims
but defends it on the ground that the
National L legislature has not the time
to INQUIRE into such tritiing matters.
Says the editor: If Congress should
undertake to examine these cases ID
detail, it would have no time to do any
thing else. 1t certainly has more I'm
portrait functions than to inquire into
all the minute of the evidence respect
ing a claim to say $12 per month upon
the National Treasury.
Congress should not do this WORK
whose business is itP Not even the
Republican editor will have the brazen
impudence to assert that a fraudulent
claim should be allowed. Be the calm
little or much, it should be a merltorl-
ous one to re ceiye recognition. Some
BODY who is responsible should ascer-
tain the facts, whether the sum asked
for be a million dollars or fifty cents.
The principle involved is the same IN
either case. Congress, by refusing TO
INQUIRE into these claims, forces the
duty upon the President who has
equally important functions to attend
tc. To prevent the Treasury from
being swindled by unworthy and fraud
ulent claimants, the President IS COM
nslled to do much which ought not to
he REQUIRED of him. He does the work
Of Congress as well as of the Executive
ard according to the confession of the
chief Republican newspaper, makes the
only inquiry into the merits OF pension
bills.
twill occur to intelligent people tn at
the T, ibunes criticism in this matter Is
really high praise for President Cleve-
land. To say that Congress has more
important functions than to examine
private pensions bills, and THAI the
President, by picking out the merl-
torious from the fraudulent, STANDS De-
tween the Treasury and those who
would permit its robbery, is to pay that
official a very high compliment. AND
