The President and Congress.

We take from two newspapers, as re-
as Dan is from Beersheba, two expres-
sions of the same opinion sent from
Washington. This opinion, which
every Democrat will believe or hope to
be erroneous, is that Mr.. Cleveland is
not confning himself to the constitu-
tional duties of his Office, but is seek
ing to dictate the character and even
the order of legislation in Congress.
Whatever may be the fervor of Mr..
Cleveland's conviction as to the neces-
| sity of repeating the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, it seems impossible
that he should assume the attitude of
a dictator toward Congress. Such q
violation of the Constitution would
only defeat his object, by embittering
the men in Congress who are exercis-
ing no more than their rights and
privileges in opposing repeal; and it
would excite the quick jealousy Of the
friends of repeal, unwilling to submit
to encroachment from the Executive.
If Mr.. Cleveland has any further infor-
nation of the state of the Union to give
to the Congress, or any other measures
which he judges necessary and exped-
lent to recommend to their considera-
ton, he can do so. II not, he has
nothing to do with legislation until
measures are put before him for his
signature or veto or refusal; and under
no considerations can the order of bus
mess in Congress be any business of
his.
OF this Mr.. Cleveland must be per-
fectly aware; and it is with regret that
we notice, sometimes in newspapers
friendly to him, and sometimes in
newspapers that are hostile to him the
ascription to him of confusion and
ursurpation of functions not to be ex-
pected in constitutional ruler, and
least of all in President elected by
the Democratic party, the party of
close adherence to the letter of the
Constitution. 1t will be sorry day
when the President of the United States
uses the patronage and influence OF his
office to bribe or frighten Congress, and
to filch from the representatives of the
people the power of making laws.
There can be little danger of that,
however, and still less that there will
come to be in Congress a set of SUBJ
missive members, puppets of the Exec
utive, the Presidents Friends, like the |
Kings Friends in the English Parlia-
ments of hundred years ago.-N Y.

The Final Outcome Of the French
Elections.

! Although the result of the second
baHotings which took place on Sunday,
is now known, it is still impossible to
say how many supporters the Dupuy
Cabinet can count upon in the new
Chamber of Deputies. All we can say
the upholders of the present form of
government, as opposed to a mon
archy on the one hand, and to So
cialist regime on the other, will be in
overwhelming strength, but what pro-
portion OF them will adhere to Presi-
dent Carnot and his present advisor is
not yet known.
The new Chamber will contain five
hundred and eighty-one members, or
three less than the last, owing to the
shrinkage in the population of France.
It follows that two hundred and nine.
ty-one votes will constitute bare ma
jority of one. As the Monarchists are
reduced to sixty-eight, and the Social
lists, although they have made gains,
will muster only sixty. it IS oblivious
that both these groups of irreconcila-
Bile enemies of the present republic will
need at least one hundred and sixty
three coadjutors in order to turn out
a Ministry. Ceadjutors for such pur-
pose can be looked for only in the ex-
treme left wing OF the Republicans,
among the mem oers elected, like M. |
Goblet, under the hybrid designation
of Radical-Socialists. How numerous
these are we do not know, but it Is im-
probable that they can furnish the

of $685. names he would have placed
upon that roll but 10000.

OF 330, ,OOO names he would have placed
upon that roll but 15O, 1000.
It thus seems, General Raum being
the unwilling witness, that there are
now upon the new roll of invalid pen
sioners 200, 900 persons having no legal
right to be there. Having discovered
| their stupendous error, it was clearly
President Harrison's duty to have
ordered a revision of the rolls with a
view to the elimination of that large
number, whose annual payments. at an
average of SO per month, amount to
S24, 900, 900. But it was determined to
bequeath this legacy to the Cleveland
administration, and the Pension
Bureau has now no option but to elm
mate that excess of 100000 pensioners
or to treat the remaining hundreds of
thousands of claimants with the same
-libera1ity that characterized Raum's
order of October. 1890.
1t has been very costly error.
Each of those 200, 900 men has receiv-
ed, as Mr.. Raum states, an average
''frsst-payment" of $11S.9 80, or $23, $780,
900, and also eighteen months OF PEN.
sions, at SO per month, aggregating
$36, 100000. Ignoring the Sc, 900, 900
those pensioners are drawing every
quarter, the government to June 80,
1898, has suffered an irrecoverable loss
of $50. $780, 900. This merely represents
the .oss incurred by placing men on
roll who had no legal right there, and
to that must be added the cost of the
excessive pensions granted 20 those
legally entitled to a place on the roll.
If the Bussey decision of January, 1898,
would hav g excluded 200, 900 pension
ers, there can be no doubt that it would
also have reduced the average rate of
pensions under the new law from $40
to 50 per month, thereby preventing an
irrecoverable loss in ..iirst-payments"
and pensions paid OF nearly SO, 00O,O 900.
On June 20, 1892, there were 1884,
794 old-law invalid pensioners, of
whom only 5O,537, or less than IS per
cent. were drawing $12 per month. |
Thus stood the record nearly 80 years
after ther war; but at the above date, |
at the close Of the second years record |
of the new law, of the 393 O6S new in
valid pensioners, 160,985 or 55 per
cent. of them were receiving that |
high rate of pension. Take this in
with the fact that General
Raum gave to new-law pensioners, a
rate SO per cent. higher than
to old-law pensioners, and there can
be no doubt these new-law pensioners
have been rated unjustly to the gov
srnment and with equal injustice to all
other pensioners. philadelphia Times.

whose Jealous compliance with the

How this bit of information will startle

were kept in refrigerators, So after
all it seems that the children of presi-
dents wives are very much like other
