PENSION vEToEs.


Several Private Pension Bills D1sapproved
by the Presldenf
WASHINGTON. June 2-The president
Yesterday sent to congress his veto of
three pension bills, sSsong them tn .
following:
To the Senate: I herewith return without
approval senate bill No 1ze. entitled IAN act
granting pension to Helen NJ Jacobs "
The purpose of this bill is to grant a pention
of s12 per month to Helen NJ Jacobs. of
Rochester. Ind. widow of Benjamin Odea
West 1t appears from the records of the war
department that Benjamin o. West served in
the Mexican from January to November
in the year 1s4.. The beneficiary named in this
bill was married to him in 1850. and he died in
1856 She was peusioned his widow and re-
ceived such pensfsa from the date OF her hus-
bands death until April IL, 1861. On that day
she married William jacobs,
whereupon the pension ceased. but two
minor children were awarded pensions
and continued in the ecetpt of the same until
january, 1873. when the younger child became
10 years Of age The entire absence OF any
fixed reasonable principle or rule regulating
private pension legislation this time sug-
gests the danger OF its near approach in many
cases to caprice and favoritism- Though I
have in a number of instances deferred to the
judgment of congress and refrained from in
terposing objections to bills of this character
which seemed to me to be OF doubtful merit,
am unwilling to follow such a wide departure
from palpably just pension theory and
anent to the establishment of such
fortunate precedent as this bill involves
the government to a soldiers widow. except it
be worked out through the deceased soldier
She is pensioned only because he served his
country and because through his death she as
his wife has lost his support. In other words,
she becomes a beneficiary of the government
because she is soldiers widow. When she
marries again and thus displaces the memory
of her soldier husband and surrenders all that
belongs to soldier widowhood she certainly
ought not on the death of her second husband
to be allowed to claim that she is again the
soldiers widow. GROVER CLEVELAND

TOO MUCH MONEY.
A Story that the O'NeiI Boys Fall Heir
to Several Millions.

Mr., John Booth, while riding on a
train few days ago, engaged in CONVEX
sation with Catholic priest. who, ac-
according to Booth, lived at Fossil. The
priest, learning he was from The Dalles,
told HIM of the good fortune of two of it's
residents, who fall heir to $50, ,000, 600
each. An immense property in Ireland,
which had been in litigation for fifty
years has finally been settled by the
courts. The estate comprises a whole
county and is valued az many million
pounds. 1t is the Roderick O'Neil estate
which the priest says is to be divided,
among six O'Neils who will each receive
six million pounds. Two he said lived
in The Dalles, two in Seattle and two in
Sacramento. 1.-THE priests story is true,
the O'Neils of The Dalles meant, may
be Will and John O'Neil. No other
O'Neils are known.
Both are now absent from the city and
and their family history could not be
learned. John O'Niel is at present in
the Greenhorn district near Canyon City,
where he went over week ago. VIM
O'Neil is working at Seufert's cannery
Mrs. O'Neil is also away from home to-
day.
Mrs. Johns, her mother, knew but
little about the family history of her SON
in law, merely knowing that the boys
father, and believing that the boys
grandfather was born in America.
The story can scarcely be true. Sixty
million dollars is too much money to fall
into The Dalles at one drop. One or
two hundred thousand dollars might
have been credited, but the larger
amount-well hardly.
