many American statesmen 10 In
existence who have always regarded
the veto power granted the president
Of the United States as q relic OF mon
archism. They have always looked
upon the veto privilege with more or
less dissatisfaction, because they con-
tend that 1t abridges the power of the
people to a considerable extent and as
1t therefore interferes with the princi-
pie OF sci -government. it is not good
republicanism.
But casting aside this phase Of the
subject, we Q to the original ques-
ton OF whether the president Is not
obligated under certain conditions to
place his signature to a congressional
measure without question or comment.
When q measure like the Cuban reso-
luton receives such a hearty and en-.
thusiastic support from both branches
of the national legislature, and there is
no possible doubt but that 1t has the
overwhelming approval Of the people,
is the president justified in ~obtruding
his own personal vicws against what he
knows to be prevailing sentiment Of
the people!
Congress sometimes passes q meas
ure which the president may not per
sonally approve OF, and he may be In
doubt as to whether the people
would uphold it, IL they had an oppor-
tunity to express an opinion on the
subject. Under such circumstances, it
is doubtless proper for the president to
consider whether he will approve or
veto it, and no doubt such was the
idea OF the trainers of the constitution,
for IL any other Interpretation were
placed upon the veto clause therein,
the president would be to a great ex-
tent the practical law maker of the
country, as we'll Of Its chief executive
officer.
The president is the chief executive
officer of the countryside servant
Of the people, and whenever he has
good reason TO be satisfied that any
act passed by congress has the ap.
prevail Of the people, it is certainly his
duty to approve 1t without considering
for one moment what may be his per-
sonal views concerning the matter. As
there is no possible chance for him to
be mistaken regarding the attitude
OF the American people toward the
Cuban resolutions Of congress recog.
nizing the insurgents in that country
as belligerents, is it not his duty to
sign them promptly and without quss-
tioning the motives Of the people as
expressed through their chosen legisla-

If Mr.. Cleveland refuses to approve

collected here and there discussing the
murdered man and the murderer, and
the more it was discussed the deeper

and all.
The following morning, the citizens
of the town we're confronted with the
ghastly sight Of Cowley hanging from
a telegraph pole, but no n expressed
\ word Of sympathy. In q few short
years it was forgotten where the body
had been buried, and only some
months ago the bones we're discovered
with the shackies still securely fastened
to the ankles. Mr.. Harris at once
recognized them. They were brought
to Springer, where three or four OF our
citizens memory was refreshed by
their sight, and that eventful night re-
called as though it had been but yes

some very valuable papers and several
hundred dollars In money. What in
cited the citizens most was the fact
that he had been murdered while
