SENATOR SMITHS SPEECH.
An Extemporaneous EGort In Sup.
port OF the President,s Yefo.

port OF the Presidents Veto.
WASHINGTON, Tune 4, 1896.5Senator
Smith made a speech on the River and
Harbor bill yesterday 1t was in support
of the Presidents message. That it was
an cxtemporaneous effort-for which he
had had no opportunity to make prepara-
tion-made it a notable one. 1t was well
delivered and well phrased, and he held
the ear of his colleagues on the floor as
c~en and Vest. who preceded
him in speeches advocating the bill in
: : .-.v yeeo, had.
8 One of the Senator's points was that
the right or propriety of a Presidential
veto of a River and Harbor bill was not
a new one in the Senate. He cited a num-
Der of Presidential vetoes of the same bill
IN other Congresses as presidents. That
one was made by General Grant struck
the guns Of Directing Republicapn { senos
tors. The protesting Democratic Senators
were reminded that 50 good a Democrat
his foot on a bill of the same class.
The Senator's second strong point was
that concerning $40, 500, 900 of the improve
out consulate ton with the Board of En-
gineers, and $1,500,O 900 more of them
against the judgment and advice of the
He thought it bad policy, too, for the
CONGRESS to put this great debt upon the
country in a year when its revenues
threaten to fall $780, 900, 900 short of its
needs, It. was especially ungenerous for
the Senate which had criticised the Ad-
ministration for a bond issue to force an
expenditure that will force the nation to
another issue of bonds.
The bill was passed all the same over
the veto.
There is some talk about the Presidents
vetoing the Sundry Civil bill. Tt is said
that the act cannot command a two-thirds
vote, and that If the President interferes.
the drawing of a new bill and its enact
ment will be necessary. In that event
Congress may be kept for two or three
weeks longer.
II there are nc complications over the
Monday.

the Legislature left between $50 and 2N
bills. The Governor has dealt with these
in a manner at once leisurely and IN
mary. He has taken from March p tc
June 8 to dispose of them-a little more
than W full months, and he has signed
them or killed them according to his OWE
sweet will, without regard to the wis
dom OF the Legislature or the desires Of
the people.
1t is q great thing to be a reformer.
