VETOED,
President Puts His Disapproval ON River
and HarbOr Bill.

President Puts His Disapproval on River
and HarbOr Bill.
Washington, May 30.-The president
Friday sent to the house message Veto
ing the river and harbor appropriation
bill.
In his message the president says that
the bill contemplates the immediate ex-
penditure Of about $17 100000, and con-
tinues:
"A more startling feature Of this bin -
Its authorization Of contracts for river ana
harbor work amounting to more than $751;
100000. Though the payments on these
contracts are in most cases so distributed
that they are to be met by future appro-
priations more than $1,000 900 on their &C.
count are included in the direct appropria-
tions. OF the remainder nearly $20,O0O.Ooo
will fall due during the fiscal year ending
Juno 80, 1898, and amounts somewhat less
In the year Immediately succeeding. A
few contracts Of a like character, author-
lied under previous statutes, are still out
standing, and to meet payments on these
more than $4,000 must be appropriated
In the immediate future.
''If. therefore, this bill becomes law,
the obligations which will be imposed on
the government, together with the appro-
priations made for immediate expenditures
on account Of river and harbors' VIII
amount to about $4,000 Nor Is this
all: the bill directs numerous surveys and
examinations which contemplate new work
and further contracts, and which por-
tend largely Increased expenditures and
obligations.
me bv the constitution, it seems to me quite
clear that only discharge duty to our
people when interpose my d1sapproVa4 OF
the legislation proposed.
"Many Of the objects for which 1t appro-
pirates public money are not related to tho
nublic welfare and many OF them are
nalnably for the benefit of limited localities
or in the aid of Individual interests.
II learn from official sources that there
are appropriations contained in the bill to
nav Tor work which private parties have
actually agreed with this government to
do. in consideration Of their occupancy Of
public property.
penditure are sterling virtues which lead to
thrift and comfort Economy ana the ex-
priation of public moneys by the servants
of the people are not only virtues. but
solemn obligations.
IT believe no greater danger confronts us
as q nation than the unhappy decadence
among our people Of genuine and trust
worthy love and affection for our govern
ment as the embodiment of the highest and
best aspirations of humanity, and not as
the giver of gifts. and because its mission Is
the enforcement Of exact justice and eQual-
ty and not the allowance of unfair favor
itism.
II hope I may be permitted to suggest at
a time when the issue Of government bonds
to maintain the credit and financial stand
ing of the country is subject of criticism
that the contracts provided for in this bill
would create obligations Of the United
States amounting to 10000 no less bind
ing than its bonds for that sum-"
