that the veto was given to enable the

legislative attempts to encroach upon his
constitutional powers, or those Of the
judiciary; and that he should exercise
it only where ne finds constitutional

not 80 limited, and from the beginning
has been exercised upon the ground OF
the inexpediency or unwisdom OF the
legislation proposed, as we'll as upon
constitutional grounds. I do not sup

upon the principle that he should approve

Senator Buffers Legal Tender BIZ.


Among the few really good measures
introduced in Congress during the past
few weeks is the following by Senator
Butler of North Carolina:
"a bill to prevent discrimination be-
tween various kinds of legal tender
money of the United States, and to
maintain the equal debt,psying and
purchasing power thereof, and for other
purposes.
"Be 1t enacted, ETC., that any note,
bill, bond, draft, check, exchange, con.
tract, mortgage, public or private Obll-
cation, or pecunisry liability, hereafter
made or contracted, which may provide
for its payment in a specific kind or
kinds of legal tender money of the
United States, may be paid or dis
charged in any kind of legal tender
money of the United States, current at
the time Of It's maturity, or collection,
at It's face value, such stipulation or
agreement to the contrary notWith.

In presenting this bill Senator Butler
said "By its title 1t will be seen that
it is q bill to maintain the equal debt
paying and purchasing power Of all the
legal tender currency of the country.
see that the various State conventions
now being held to elect delegates to
the Republican National convention
are declaring In favor Of this policy,
and pledging their party to give the
people such a currency. Both Of the
old parties declared it their policy In
their last national platform, and will
probably so declare again this year. In
order that we may be able to turn these
promises into performances before an
other campaign, hope the Committee
on Finance will report this bill
promptly. We shall then be able to re-
deem, before their next National con.
VeDtions are held, the promises which
both of the old parties made, so they
will not have to make these promises
over again. The Peoples party stands
ready to help either party to redeem
this promise. We are ready to do 1t
now. Gold mortgages are plsstered
over every town and hamlet in this
country, and nearly every man to-day
who borroWs money is forced to give
gOld-bearing mortgage or note. No
government should allow such discrim-

Was Plumb q Calamity HOwlerG

According to the ideas entertained
by latter.day Republicans, Senator
P. B. Plumb must have been bowling
calamity and giving aid and comfort
to the heresies of POpullsm when, In a
speech In the Senate, he said:
ave are 65 millions of people, soon
to be 100 millions, possessing q cOnti-
nent of immense resources, with more
intelligence and enterprise than any
other people In the world. The Anglo
Saxon race is bound to lead, and the
American people ought to have pri-
macy In the councils Of that race. We
do not need to ask what London or
Germany wants. Our opportunity and
career is before US, and may consist In
defying the policies of the older ma
tlOns. Leadership is more the result
of courage than that of finesse. We
need the courage now to take the first
place and mark out policy which all
the nations will be under ConstrAint
presently to follow. We need for our
own use all the silver we have and all
Europe dare to send us, and the more
they send as the richer we shall be.
The good sense, no less than the pa.
triOtism, Of the Senate Is appealed to,
TO create the broad foundation on
which we can safely build and which
will make the opportunity which our
people will gladly embrace.
''Let Us break whatever bands bind
US to the body Of death represented by
that fixed capital which produces moth
ing, which shuns the sea Of adventure,
which discoursges enterprise and which
Oppresses labor! 1t is joined to It's
idols. Let 1t alone. Instead let US
legislste for the majority, the people
whom Lincoln called the common peo-
pie, whom he trusted and upon whom
the republic rested during the fateful
period of the war, and who brought

spring, when the streams are released,
and the clouds are loose and hiRh-Bailing,
and the wOoing south-wind makes all
the trees uneasy to take on color and to
burst their buds into bloom. On any day
when the sun, climbing northwsrd, at
tacks the frost, and the snow aud ice
slide with thunder-rumble off the steep
New England farm house roofs, the crow
is abroad calling us to new life. It is
the harshest voice in the whole orchestra
Of birds, yet it is homelike and sincere,
and has in it note OF wild freedom, Of
indefinite promise. The crow has never
yielded to the modern demand for
culture, and his "csw" is almost the
only thing in civilized life that can take
US back to the untamed and primevRl
nature. He belongs to the forests, to
the free buccaneering life we all secretly
long for. When we walk In the woods
in the spring, it is the call OF the crow
that interprsts for US our wild desires.
For myself, I confess that he stirs in me
more memories and sets me in q more
sympathetic thrill with nature than any
other Of her voices. He is not for me
the raven Of poetry-the dark-winged
symbol of a maiden's hair-nor the
ancestral and domestic roob, but the

elasticity to the mind" providing a
means of enjoyment and pleasure at
the same time. They are also con-
venient sometimes from a business
point of view, and it is said they do not
cost as much to keep as horse. 1t has
also been said that the riders look very
unique on wheel, and altogether a lot
of them together make a very pic
turesque gaze for the Onlooker. Now,
if this was all the "resk" there was to
it, this article for the press would never
have been written. But it is not al
ways convenient to climb telegraph
pole when one or a dozen of these
wheelmen are aiming for you, and the
writer sincerely suggests that some
regulation should be passed by our
proper authorities prohibiting fast
driving with bicycles on the streets of
our city. We would give them the
same privilege as carriages and no
more. excepting that while carriages
make more or less noise ard SO give q
pedestrian fair warning. wheels are
noiseless and in that way are much
more dangerous The number Of
wheels owned now calls for some action
in this matter. Ladies complain that
they hardly dare to cross a street in
