FLINT, Mich, June Sex Governor Jo-
siah w. BeSole died ut a few minutes be-
fore II o'clock Saturday night at his home
at 600 Beach street. Tho end came quickly
after a protracted season of illness due to
a general breaking down of a once robust
constitution consequent upon an injury
received a year ago last February by a fall
as he was about to enter a carriage at his
home. In the evening Of q wellspent life
and Of an honored career Michigan's kind
hearted and generally beloved ex-governor
passed peacefully away leaving as rich
legacy to his family an untarnished name
that is held in honor wherever it is known.
He leaves a widow and two children,
Mrs. Mary B., wife of w. C. Cummings,
of Otter Lake. and Charles NJ. Begole, of
this city. Ex-Governor Bcgole was pio-
neer in Masonry in this section of tho
state, having been made o member of tho
order about fifty years ago. He was 81
years old, The funeral will be held from

A VETO THAT DOES NOT FAIL.
The President Sustained In Knockout 4
the General Deficiency.

The President Sustained In q Knockout for
the General Deficiency.
WASHINGTON, June s.-The president
enough votes to stand and require tn
preparation of another bill. The bill was
the general deficiency, and the items OBJ
jected to are the French spoliation claims
and the Choteau claim. The latter Is for
an ironclad built during the rebellion and
the president evidently consideSs it pure
steal, as he says the boat was paid for once
together with n big bill for extras. The
French spoliation claims are different;
they never have been paid and the presi-
dent thinks they never should be paid,
especially those for insurance.
In the beginning of his message the
president makes a few remarks that per
haps Morgan of Alabama and some others
will take an early opportunity of replying
to, as they are evidently aimed Mt those
who have denounced the president for his
exercise Of the veto power. He says: ITO
the extent that the constitution has de-
volved upon the president q participation
in legislation, I suppose his action on bills
presented to him for approval involves a
duty to be performed, like others pertain
ing to his office, with care and circum-
spection and in full view of his response
bility to the people and his obligation to
snbserve the public welfare. 1t is difficult
to understand why under the constitution
it should be necessary to submit proposed
legislation to executive scrutiny and ap-
prevail except to invoke the exercise OF
executive Judgment and invite indepen-
dent executive action. The unpleasant
incidents which accompany the power
would tempt its avoidance If such q course
did not involve an abandonment Of con-
stitutional duty and assent to legislation
for which the executive is not willing to
share the responsibility"
The president partly justifies his veto Of
the spoliation claims by the statement of
the supreme court in its decision of the
sugar bounty claims, in which it classcd
the spoliation claims with those bounty
claims as such as should be paid as .
gratuity and not Of right. A brief history
Of the spoliation claims may be Of interest.
The treaty Of lis between the United
States and France led to q considerable
extent to the success Of the colonies
against England and was n treaty of
offense and defense to all intents and pur-
poses, France guaranteeing American
Independence and the United States recip-
rocating with u guaranty Of French pos
sessions in America
When the French revolution broke out
it's atrocities were SO great that the Ameri-
cans were disglsted, and as is known
they resulted in the lcaguing Of all Europe
against the French republic, bringing to
this country under the treaty the unpleas
ant prospect Of having to hsap Francs

NEWPORT, K, June s.-The common
wealth in the Walling trial consumed
Saturday in the examination of Chief Of
Police Phil Ditsch, of Cincinnati, and
others, Ditsch's testimony being the most
important, but it may be excluded after
the court hears arguments on its admis-
sion. The testimony in question consists
of many damaging admissions made by
Walling to Colonel Ditsch, among which
are that he (Walling) knew soon after the
holidays that jackson intended to bring
Pearl Bryan here, and he (Walling) had
agreed to perform an abortion on her,
that Jackson then changed his mind and
said he would kill her with quick poison
at some room and make it appear that
she had shielded; that he changed plans
again and said he would kill her and cut
her up and scatter the pieces around the
city sewers; finally that for three days be-
fore jackson did kill her he '(Walling)
knew jackson was going to cut her head

proclamation Of neutrality. France de-
manded the execution Of the treaty which
was refused and meantime Great Britain
got possession Of nearly all the French
West Indian possessions, which we had
guaranteed forever to France by the treaty
OF l11S. The Jay treaty was finally negoti-
ated abrogating the 177S treaty.
There was no war between the United
States and France, but to revenge herself
upon Us for our reputation of the 1778
treaty France had preyed upon our COM
merce, and seized ], 500 American vessels.
She also claimed an indemnity of $50, OOO,-
600 for our abrogation of the IT'S treaty
when these spoliation claims were present.
ed to her by our government. Finally we
went to war with her and several naval
engagements took place in which our navy
vas victorious, and this little war WINS
closed by the treaty of 1901, in which a
clause was inserted setting against each
other the claims of the French for indem-
nifty for our failure to keep the IT'S treaty
and our claims for seized ships, and call
ing them balanced.
That is the ground of the French spoila-
ton claims. Two prcsidents-Polk and
Pierce-have vetoed thern-th-ee with

A Fizzle.

AS mass meeting the Republi-
can gathering Tuesday evening was
a dismal failure. The mas" parade
consisted of probably from 40 to 80
torch bearers, onehalf men, the 9th
er half mere boys not yet in their
teens. The rink was filed but prin-
cipally by women, girls and children,
voters being scarce. Warner Miller,
the speaker of the evening, an eX-C.
S. Senator of New York, a man of
trusts and monopolies, and against
the interests of the common people,
harangued his hearers with the same
old story from q Republican stand
point, a story which has ended in the
condition the American farmer, busi-
ness man and laborer find themselves
to-day. a paid tool of trusts like Mil
ler, will make no Mckinley votes in
this county.

THE Ottawa t}0.cHc is still publish
ing the lie that Mr.. Meekison, two
weeks before his nomination, had said
that he would not support the Demo
cratic ticket this fall but wouldsupport
Mckinley. The lie is made out of
whole cloth and has been denied time
and again, but the G0-cHc keeps
right on publishing it. How could
Judge MeeIlison have made such Il
remark when the congressional con
vention was held some time before
the national convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Bryan? Itis not likely for
him to say he would not support q
ticket before it was made. That fact
alone stamps the report as lie. viii

Judge Meekison by contradicting the
story?
