ST. LOUIS, June 12.-The Repu blican

dedicatory committee; Sam NJ. Ken

Walbridge of ST. Louis, and ex-Gov.

which still adheres to the infamous
SALARY grab congress. In one sense
perhaps the SALARY grab was a worse
performance than the river and har-
Dor grab. It was more directly selfish.
The distinction is, however, hardly
worth talking about. In the "salary
grab Legislation congressman robbed
the taxpayers directly for their own
personal purposes. In the river and
harbor grab the action was a little
more indirect; but it was just as much
for personal purposes-for the indi-
yidual benefit of the congressmen-as
the ''salary grab" was. In the first
instance they put money in their peck
cts. In the second they seek to put
money into the pockets of their corr
stituents in order to secure the votes
of the latter for their reelection. Thei:,
own advantage is the end in view il
both.
One effect the passage of the graf,
over the veto will have which some o.
the congressman will possibly regard
as a good one wholly aside from the
benefit it brings to them through their
constituents. Heretofore this congress
has been distinguished mostly as the
Go-nothing congress. Hereafter that
distinction will be submerged by the
distinction conferred by action on the
river and harbor grab. 1t is not very
high distinction. In fact it is an in
famous distinction. But it is change
from the notoriety which seemed to
be all that congress was likely to at
tain-the notoriety that comes from
doing nothing worth speaking of. One
of our poets has said that it is "better
almost be at work in sin than in a brute
inaction browse and Sleep If there
are any congressman or friends who
agree with the poet they will have some
slight ground for congratulation on
the passage of the river and harbor bill!

1t is sad commentary on the

long been awaited with eagerness and

bellicose jingoism, reckless silver fan

constitutional prerogative in vetoing
the extravagant river and harbor bill:

constitutional prerOgatlve in vetOing
the extravagant river and harbor bill:
ITO the extent that the constitution has
deVolved 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 circumspcc-
ton, and in full view of his responsibility
to the people and his obligation to sub
serve the public welfare. 1t Is difficult to
understand why, under the constitution,
1t should be necessary to submit the pro-
posed legislation to executive scrutiny and
approval except to invoke the exercise OF
executive judgment and invite independent
executive action.
This is simply unanswerable. What
is river and harbor bill sent to the
president for if he is not as free TO veto
as to sign it? The veto power has been
repeatedly exercised in such cases by
Mr.. Cleveland's predecessors. Indeed,
it is eminently desirable that the pres
ident should have such power, since this
class of legislation opens fertile field
of congressional extravaganza and job
berry, on which it is all important that
there should be salutary executive
check.
The two vetoes which Mr.. Cleveland
sent to congress within a few days
forcibly illustrate the defect in the
federal constitution which compels the
approval or the veto of every bill as a
whole. In New York and other states
the governor may veto one or more items
of an appropriation bill and approve
the others. Such provision in the con-
stitution of the United States would
be an improvement. of decided value to
the country.-N. y. Herald Ind.).

In the Atlantic states, in spite of the
dry weather in early spring, the crop
is a little earlier than usual Poor
stands, on account of drought, are re-
ported from two counties in North and
South Carolina and seven counties in
Georgia. But the crops are in fine con-
dition as respects both cultivation and
growth throughout this region. In
Florida the crop is late and stands are
poor on account of the excessive
drought. In Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and
Indian territory the crop is not very
early. but stands are good and out
look promising for full crop. In
few localities, however, there are re-
ports of damage by worms and lice.
In Texas the conditions have been
less favora BILE than in the Atlantic and
gulf states. The cold and damp
weather at seeding time not only
makes crops late, but has resulted in
infesting many fields in a large area in
the southwestern part of the state with
all manner of insects, doing damage to
the plant. A considerable improve.
ment, however, has been made with
in the past month. First paintings
seem to be doing much better than
late ones. In many heavy producing
counties the stands are good and give
close approximation to full crops.
Acreage of Wheat and Percentages OF
Areas Harvested.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE acreage
of wheat and percentages of areas
harvested last year have been obtained
from a greatly enlarged list of CORE
spondents, inquiries being addressed
in particular to $1,000 of the principal
millers throughout the country, to
whose careful comparison of present
acreage with that of previous years
many corrections of the preliminary
estimate of December last are due.
There has been some diminution OF
winter area, owing to the total failure
of the crop in some sections, the
ground being plowed up for spring
wheat or oats.

Strenuous efforts are being made by

neapolis and corps are here. Their
presence here is to make an accurate
survey of Big Stone and Traverse lakes,
also to survey the foot of Big Stone lake
for the proposed great dyke. An
accurate level will also be taken as.
suming given height of the dyke
at the foot of Big Stone and extend
ing that line through to the foot of
Lake Traverse. Thus with the survey
and level the amount of land necessa-
rily overflowed by any given height
Of dam can be accurately ascertained.
The excavation necessary to complete
the canal connecting the two lakes will
also be computed. The object of the
survey is to bring these lakes into the
reservoir system. This would make an
immense reservoir and would serve the
double purpose of relieving the Red
River of the North of it's surplus water
and supplying the Mississippi with
water during the dry season. 1t would
also make q water course of consider
able importance to Western Minnesota
and North and South Dakota.
