lows:
1.-THE prohibition party in national con-
Ventlon assembled, declares its firm con.
viction that the manufacture, expectation,
importation and sale Of alcoholic beverages
has produced such social, commercial, in
dustrial and political wrongs, and Is now
threatening the perpetuity of all our social
and political institutions, that the suppress
sion of the same by a national party, or
gained therefor, is the greatest object to
be accomplished by the voters of our coun-
try; is of such Importance that it, of right.
ought to control the political action of all
our patriotic citizens until such suppress
sion Is accomplished. The urgency of this
cause demands the union without further
delay of all citizens who desire the prohi-
bition Of the liquor traffic. Therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we favor the legal pro-
hibition by state and national legislation
of the manufacture, importation, exporta-
ton. interstate transportation and sale of
alcoholic beverages.
''That we declare our purpose to organize
and unite all the friends Of prohibition into
our party and in order to accomplish this
end we deem it but right to leave every
prohibitionist the freedom of his own con-
victions upon all other questions and trust
our representatives to take such action
upon other political questions as the
changes occasioned by prohibition and the
welfare Of the whole people shall demand

President Puts His Disapproval on River
## and Harbor Bill.

President Puts His Disapproval on River
4 and Harbor Bill.
Washington, May 3O.-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 is
It's authorization of contracts for river and
harbor work amounting to more than $685.
100000. Though the payments on these
contracts are in most cases so distributed
that they are to be met by future appro-
pria tions, more than s., OO0, 900 on their ac-
count are included in the direct appropria-
lions. OF the remand er nearly $40, 600, 900
will fall due during the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1898. and amounts somewhat less
in the year Immediately succeeding. A.
few contracts Of like character, author
lied under previous statutes, are still out
standing, and to meet payments on these
more than $4,000, 900 must be appropriated
In the immediate future.
.1f, 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, will
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. - .s,aasaa5 .d'6
'.In view Of the obligation i'm posed upon
me by the constitution, it seems to me quite
clear that only discharge duty to our
people when interpose my disapproval Of
the legislation proposed.
"Many of the objects for which it appro-
priates public money are not related to the
public welfare and many of them are
palpably for the benefit of limited localities
or in the aid of individual interests.
IT learn from official sources that there
are appropriations contained in the bill to-
pay for work which private parties have
actually agreed with this government to
do, in consideration OF their occupancy Of
public property.
''Individual economy and careful ex-
penditure are sterling virtues which lead to
thrift and comfort. Economy and the ex-
action of clear justification for the appro-
priation of public moneys by the servants
of the people are not only virtues. but
solemn obligations
as 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 equali-
ty and not the allowance of unfair favor
ltism. -
II hope may be permitted to suggest at
! q time when the issue of government bonds
to maintain the credit and financial stand
ing Of the country is a subject Of criticism,
that the contracts provided for in this bill
would create obligations of the United
States amounting to $2,000000, no less bind
ing than its bonds for that sum-"
