THE VETO POWER.

From the ST. Joe News.
Colonel Frederick A. Conkling, in the
January Forum. writes about the menace
of the veto power. He gives an inter-
esting sketch of the introduction of this
power into the governments of the ma
ton aud state. and describes its abuses
He declares that it has never been APP
proved at popular election, and that it
is hated by the people.
The opponents of the veto power &C
cording to Colonel Conkling, contend
for democracy, pure and simple-not in
the sense OF the spirit and practice of the
Democratic party, but in the sense of that
form of government in which the su-
preme power is vested in the people at
large. They insist that this prerogative,
as at present interpreted. so far from
being safeguard to free government, is
a standing menace to the liberties of the
people.
At the close of the last session of the
legislature of the state of New York, In
May. 1888, there were 451 bills awaiting
the action of the governor. The bills
were all passed amid the hurry and con-
fusion of the, last ten days of the session.
The procedure is without parallel in
our history. The only approach to it
is to be found in the carnival of fraud
and infamy which marked the era of
what is known as the Tweed ring. Un-
doubtedly the chief cause of the demon
alization, not to say the degradation,
which has of late prevailed at Albany, is
to be found in the wholesale abuse of the
veto power, by both the present COVER
nor and by his immediate predecessor In
office. The common sentiment regard
ing the passage of every measure,
whether good, bad or Indifferent, has of
late been-''Let it go through, the gov
ernor is sure TO veto ii" OF the 4l5 bills
referred TO, 113 remained unsigned at the
expiration of thirty days from the date
of the adjournment. These fell TO the
ground like so much waste paper. Fur
thermore, in the annual supply bill. sew
enty-seven specific items We're vetoed.
Add TO these the sixty-three bills vetoed
during the session of the legislature, and
we have an aggregate of 3l3 measures
which have failed. during the year, TO
receive the governors approval.
Colonel Conkling says the existence of
the veto power has completely democrat
lied the New York legislature and
opened the doors TO corruption. All
thinking people will not agree with the
writer on the general propositions of his
article, but there is much food for re-
Election in 1t.

SOUTHERN KANSAS.

From the Barber County Index.
There is to be meeting of representa-
tive men of southern Kansas, at Wich-
ita. January 18th, for the purpose of or
ganizing an immigration society, for the
purpose of advertising this section of the
state, in the east. The meeting should
be attended by representatives from
every county. With the admirable
showing that this part of the state can
now make, it being the center of the
coming industry, the sorghum and beet
sugar business, with the unprecedented
crops of corn, oats and wheat that were
garnered the past season; with the &C.
ment and plaster works and salt plants;
with never-failing streams; millions Of
acres of rich natural grasses; with sea-
sons so pleasant that stock needs to be
fed but ninety days of the year; with
good schools, prosperous church organ
izations, good towns, convenient railroad
accommodations and the best natural
roads in the world. southern Kansas has
something to advertise.

try in Kansas, since the official announce

duct for 1890 was nearly thirteen hun
bred thousand pounds, or nearly double
what it was in 1888? The states bounty
on the years product amounts to over
$25, 000 Since nothing succeeds like

be constrained to espouse the cause of

A discussion is going on among the
press Of the southern states of the ques-
ton of which one is entitled to the dis
tinction of "the empire state of the
south" a settlement of the question
will depend upon what basis is to be
taken for making the estimate. If it be
a question of ares or of population or
both, Texas will unquestionably be ac-
corded the distinction, since it is twice
as large as any of the others and has
several hundred thousand more popula-
ton at the present time. If, however,
industrial interests or aggregate wealth
are taken into account, two or three of
the other southern states will compete
closely. if one of them does not win.
Georgia has long enjoyed the distinction.

TIME AND THE NEW YEAR.

Father time look We out,
know your so old
That word OF advice
From me seems bold.
But there's weather prophets
Turned loose in the land.
Who say winters wronged
By your partial hand.
They think you too old
To manage the seasons,
Whose conduct of late
They give US as reasons.
There's danger. old friend,
or losing your place,
You're really too old
To fall In disgrace.
TITS fact that the seasons,
Seem bound to dlsown
Their cold brother winter,
Who clings TO his throne.
When showed from his place
BY his enemy, spring,
He haunts till her wee birds
Forget how 10 sing.
And even the face of lovely May.
Is oft overcast by winters ray
Aprfi's laughing tears are lost,
Hardened by his ally. frost.
And the warm young life Of the tender bud
That the spring time loves SO much.
Hath felt the edge of his keen revenge,
And withered at the touch.
II you could hear how people talk,
Your New Years day conclusion
Would hold the seasons TO their place,
And stop this queer confusion
What's that you say? The seasons. too,
Have wearied the old tread-mill
They've snapt the chain you forged for them.
And caper around at Will. BETH.

On the heels of Brazils turn several
small but significant revolutionary fires
have been struck into flame here and
there over the world. The king of the
Relgians, Leopold. is the latest to be
touched, by the incendiary burning of
the royal palace at Brussels. 1t seems a
great pity that q democratic warfare
against monarchies means grievous de-
struction of invaluable collections of fine
arts and a wanton blindness to the
preservation of all that is beautiful. 1t
is great pity, but when the people are
belligerent and up in arms for their
rights the artistic feeling is lost and any
hope of its presence in a revolutionist is
vain.
