Restraint Upon the Veto Power

Ex-President Harrison writes of the
veto and treaty-making powers OF the
President In May Ladies' Home Journal
-"This Country of Ours" series of arti-
eles. He discusses the "pocket veto, ("
and says concerning the restraints against
the exercise OF the veto power that are i'm
posed upon the President: Z" :. There
IL another practice in legislation that
greatly restrains the freedom of the Presi-
dent In using the veto power. Whist are
called riders are often placed in general
appropriation bills-tbat is, legislation
oil general character having nothing to
do with appropriations is put into an ap-
preparation bill. This is equivalent TO
saying to the President, Give your ap-
provai TO this general legislation 10 go
without the appropriations necessary to
carry on the Government
"There are other practical restraints
upon the freedom OF the President in the
exercise OF the veto power. Very IN any
iRws contain more than one proposition
some number of such-and the Presi
cent must deal with them as thus sssoci-
ated. In each OF the great appropriatio
bills many hundreds OF distinct appropri-
atlons are made. Some of these the Presi-
dent may think To be wrong, either as a
matter OF policy, or of constitutional
power; but he cannot single these out
he must take the bin as whole. 1t has
been much contended that the veto was
given to enable the President to defend
himself against legislative attempts to
encroach upon his constitutional powers,
or those of the judiciary; and that he
should exercise 1t only where he finds
constitutional objections to bill. But
the power Is not so limited, and from the
beginning has been exercised upon the
ground OF the inexpediency or unwisdom
OF the legislation proposed, as well as
upon constitutional grounds. ! do not
suppose that any President has ever dealt
with the bills submitted for his approval
upon the principle that he should approve
only such as ne would have voted for II
he had been member of Congress. Much
Difference Is due to the Congress, and
vetoes have customarily been used only
when the fault in the proposed legislation
was serious in itself. or as q precedent. ~

The Old Rivalry Between Two Fa-
nous Horsemen.

Mr.. Bonner had put Flathush Maid and
Lacy Pal,ner together, and they made q
team watch was the admiration OF the
town. In the autumn of 1891 he drove
them around Union Course in 2:27, but
there was good deal of envious talk.
Comm odore Vanderbilt owned Post Boy
and Plow Boy at that time. and his cro-
nfes whispered. with shoulder shrugs
that Mr.. Bonner's friends had timed the
two mares fest to please him. MAY 10, 1862,
there was to be race at Fashion Course,
and MIR. Bonner managed so as to have
Alderman Jewett, who controlled the
track, invite the commodore TO seat in
the judges stand. The team was driven
to road wagon, two miles. in r: ::0lll,
the trst mile in 226, and doubts about
their speed were completely wiped out.
The first real friction between those
two prominent riders occurred at the Du-
bois track.
The commod ore STOPPED in front OF the
clubhouse one day with newly-purchas-
ed team, and when Informed that Mr..
Bonner had Just driven fast quarter,
sneered: "Whst is q quarter on half
mile track?'
Mr.. Bonner, who was sitting on tho
piazza, sprang TO his feet and said, with
considerable emphasis:
"Commodore, can beat your tea m a
quarter, a half mile, mile, or two
miles. I"
The grim-faced old gentleman simply
remarked, "we win see about that" and
his rival replied, "All right.
The feeling grew, and just after the
purchase OF Dexter, Commodore Vanuer-
bilt bought Mountain Boy, who was fast
er than his record Of 2:2Oa4, and when
his friends began TO brag about his abil-
ity to beat 2:17li, Mr.. Bonner paid $40,
600 for Edward Everett, the sire of Noun
tain Boy.
After this the commodore could rot
grow enthusiastic over his horse without
rejecting credit on'a horse in the Bonner
stable. From "Ihe Evolution of the
1rotting Horse" by Hamilton Busbey

The first kite-shaped track to command
general attention was built at Independ-
ence Ia, in 1890. Its one long turn
made 1t considerably faster than the reg
ulation or oval track with two turns. A
kite record. therefore, is not valued as
highly as regulation track record.
In July, 1892, the 2S-ineh wheel, pneu-
matte tire, of the bicycle, was applied to
the sulky, and II was quickly demon
strated to be so much faster than the
high-wheel sulky that its use is now al
most universal. II Is rare to see high l.
wheel sulky in a race. As the bicycle is
from four'to five seconds faster than the
high-wheel, record TO that kind of
vehicle ranks lower than one made to the
old-fashicned sulky. The best record OF
high-wheel sulky on a regulation track is
the 2:0s3l Of Maud :. The best record
TO high-w sulky on kite track Is
he 2:0Sla of Sunol. The records of Nancy
Hanks and Alix were made TO bicycle
sulky. Maud ). trotted to 3s-pound
sulky, and Alix TO sulky OF 2S pounds.
The two, ear-old record OF Arion was
made TO high-wheel sulky on n kite, and
on the strength OF NJ he was sold for sl25-
600. The pacing records of John X.
Gentry, 2:03S,, and Robert j., 2:0iia. were
made to bicycle. From "The Evolution
OF the Trotting Horse" by Hamilton
Bustey, IN the May Scribners.

PATERSON. N. j.. May 6.-Circus day
has come to be general holiday In Pater-
son, and Barnum Il Bailey's show being
billed to appear hero yesterday, the
streets were thronged with peepis to see
the moving parade. Main street was
especially crowded. Between Market and
Smith streets the sidewalks were impassa-
BILE. r.
About 1890 the circus parade came up
Main street. Half way between Market
and Smith the driver OF heavily loaded
coal wagon, belonging to White a. Hop
per, had drawn Is team to the left hand
side Of the curb going up, in order to
get out OF the way OF the parade. People
at this point were jammed so closely to-
getheir that 1t was impossible. to turn
round.
When the parade was abont finished
herd of elephants came along. The
horses attached to the coal wagon had
been uneasy since the parade began to
pass, and at sight of the huge beasts, with
their ponderous howdahs, the horses be-
gan to plunge wildly. The people OH the
sidewalk tried to eoge away from the
team, but could not get far because OF
the crowd, then the team got away from
the driver and ran into the crowd.
For 70 feet the team dragged its heavy
load, and then the pole, striking against
an iron hydrant, brought them to stop,
and they we're gradually .subdued. In the
track were lying a number of people,
mostly women and children. The driver
had been thrown over the dash board
under the horses heels. He rolled out
from underneath the wagon wheels. He
was badly cut about the facc. He gave his
name as William II. Schanhauser of 20
Close street. He was arrested, but re-
leased later, heing found to be blameless
for the accident.
When the team had been quieted down
most OF tboe lying on the ground got up,
but womsn and two boys lay motion
less. The one first exa ined was Edward
Schulz, IL years old of 26 Cross street.
He was close to the wagon when IL start
ed, and the heavy wheel passed over his
chest. He was taken in an ambulance TO
st. Joseph's Hospital, where nc died at
z O'Clock.
Olga Olson, aged Is, OF Clinton street
was also knocked down, and her right
arm and leg were badly crushed. Thomas
Hend0n of 10 Main street was uncon-
scious, but he was able TO walk home,
his injuries not being serious. Several
others were hurt, but not badly.

1t is not possible to anticipate the action
of the General Assembly on the transfer
bill offered by the House judiciary COM
mittee as a substitute for the absurd and
outrageous proposition made 10 the As
sembly by the joint committee OF the
City Council The original bin, however,
is dead and buried and that may well be
matter for public satisfaction. 1t was
conceived In malice and It's only purpose
was to maintain strife. So long as it was
in controversy the public interests would
be at standstill. The Council COM
mittee could never have hoped for its pas
sage, but as the course Of procedure on
the part of a majority of them sinco they
began political agitation last fall justi-
fies the belief that they cared much less
about securing transfers tnan they did
about making politics out of what orui-
narily would have been perfectly simple
subject for straightforward and business
like consideration between the municipal
corporation and the trolley corporation,
it is reasonable to suppose that they
would have been perfectly satisfied 10
have had their proposition side-trscked,
and so be given the opportunity to drag
the General Assembly into the mess OF
trolley politics that they have made.
But the judiciary committee of the
House have taken the bull by the horns.
They have thrown out the preposterous
proposition presented them and have re-
buked the men who made it., although
the public interests and "the high respect
which the committee have for the source
from which this somewhat peremptory
demand emanates," moved the judiciary
committee to frame substitute bill that
is OF itself sharp rebuke to the Council
committees majority, since 1t proposes
practically what the trolley company
offered, and that the Council committee
threw back in its face with scant consid-
Grafton, and in addition, provides for the
terms for when the council committee
would take no step to arrange or to meet
the trolley company on a business like
basis.
| The report OF the judiciary committee
| which Judge BLoDaETT presented yester-
day is OF great value and is calculated TO
forever bar further attempts to seek to
overthrow law and right in the interests
OF malicious or partizan hot heads and
to compromise the good name Of the
State 1t is hardly to be expected that
| the Goo-Goo Councilmen will like the
report or approve OF the substitute bill.
But they have been given a sharp lesson
that ought to be OF benefit to them IL not
to their political amb tions. They can pose
for time before the citizens OF Providence
and threaten to destroy one of its corpora
tions, but this report OF the judiciary
committee will stand as notice to them
and any like them, In future, that the
sovereign State of Rhode Island cannot be
dragged into such scheming and that an
intelligent General Assembly will not be
moved by bullyragging or bluff.
