SATURDAY, MAY 80. 1896.
HE VETOED IT.

They made a good guess who pre-
dicted that President Cleveland would
veto the river and harbor bill, which is
among the most important pieces of
legislation of the session.
In his veto. the president takes ac-
count of the amount of money which
the bill disposes of; he finds that sixty
millions will be needed to meet it's pro-
visions. He discovers that some of the
appropriations are recklessly made and
that most of them are ill-timed He
reminds congress that the pace of Its
first session will send 1t well beyond
the billion-dollar limit.
The president also suggests to con-
gress that, in a financial way, the
country Is in hard lines. The amount
involved in the river and harbor bill
seems to him to be extravagant in
these depressed days He speaks of
bonds and of the lack of revenue; these
must have been unpleasant themes for
the president.
That a good many millions of money
in the river and harbor bill are rank
robbery. is perfectly we'll understood
by the public. That. in an abstract
sense, the president is right in almost
every word of his veto message. is
true. Nevertheless. the bill is likely to
score a majority over the veto. In
senate and house the opinion prevails
that good faith is not behind the
presidents refusal to sign the bill, but
that he was prompted by a vengeful
spdrit and a peevish purpose.
In plain, congress has not sought to
be especially pleasant toward the presi-
dent; the presumption is that the pres
ident proposes to get even. The house
is republican; Its majority has only n
partial responsibility; in the senate
few democrats sit who care a rap for
the administrator record. In senate
and house are republicans and demo-
Gratis who resent the idea that, after
legislation. the country needs to be
saved by the executive from the al
legged extravagant voting away of pub
lie money.
The chances. therefore. are that, Law
tsh as the sums are which go in uhe
river and harbor bill. It will command
the two-thirds vote which will carry IL
ever the head of the president. BY his
veto comment, the president tried TO hit
congress very hard.

Magistrate Mott in Jefferson Market
Court to-day. charged with larceny. He
was arrested at the request of Chief OF
Police of Boston. 1t is said that Simp-
son is one of a gang that has been

in Boston and Philadelphia have sus-
tanned heavy losses by their operations.
