WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The President vetoed
three private pension bills to-day. In sending
to the Senate to-day his veto Of a bill to pension
Maria Somcrlat,a remarked widow Of volunteer
soldier, President Cleveland takes occasion to
define and defend his pension policy as follows:
"The rule governing the operation Of general
pension laws, which ~forfeits a widows pension
on her remarriage, seems so reasonable and Just
and Its relaxation must necessarily lead to such
q departure from Just principles and to such
vexatious pension administration, that I am
convinced It ought to be strictly maintained.
"I hope l may DO permitted to call the alton
tion Of the Senate TO the increasing latitude
clearly disccrnible in special pension legislation.
1t has seemed to me 30 useless to attempt to
stem the tide Of this legislation by executive in
reference that / have contcntcd myself with
non-acquiescence in numerous cases where I
could not approve.

executive action during the present session Of

The Truth About wyoming.


By request Of Miss Dopp, president of
the local Equal Suffrage association, We
publish the following from the pen of
Alice Stone Blackwell! of Boston:
An anonymous pamphlet lately pub
lisbed by the Anti-Suffrage association
asserts that Wyoming, where women
vote. is distinguished from other states
by the fact that gambling is licensed
there; that no city is allowed to forbid
gambling; that the restrictions on the
liquor traffic are less than IN most other
states, and that homicide Is legally ex-
cusable under certain circumstances.
4 letter from Chief Justice Groesbeck
of Wyoming, in response to a letter of
inquiry from Miss Blackwell, clearly
shows the falsity of these statements. ]
quote in part as follows:
After mentioning a number of other
states besides Wyoming where gambling
is legal, he continues:

ties, and has been for many years; and
this has been largely owing to the per
sistent efforts of the ladies.
Our liquor la ws are not less restrictive
than those of other states not under
prohibition; indeed, u liquor licenses
are very heavy, the annual licenses here
being $500 and 10 other towns $500. The
laws and ordinances are severe against
the sale or furnishing Of liquors OF to.
bacco to minors.
The law in relation to 'excusable HON

that placed upon it 10 the an~ti.suffrage

State Treasurer Phillips annual report

State Treasurer Phillips annual report
to the governor of the condition of the
state treasury for the tisc; | year ending
June 80, 1897, is a very gratifying docu-
ment. Our floating indebtedness has been
sinking rapidly and another such year of
reductions will wipe it out entirely.
The bonded indebtedness has also been
Ieduced to what it was at the commence
ment Of statehood. At the beginning of
the fiscal year, July l, 1896, for which
the treasurer now reports, the floating
debt was $500 At the end OF the
year, June 80, 1897, the debt was $780,
600, a net reduction of $4,000 during
the year and all expenses OF the legis-
lature paid. March 81, 1897, an issue Of
$4,000 of funding warrants was made
to meet current expenses Of the state,
due January l, 1898, and there is now
money in the treasury to pay them. The
interest on bonded Indebtedness has been
promptly paid and during the year the
following state bonds have been re-
deemed:
May l, $4,000 , per cent interest
bonds issued for the Normal school at
bends issued for the school of Deaf
Mutes at Sioux Falls, May l, 1883, and
$4,000 bearing the same rate of interest
and issued for the same school July l,
1895; 100000 per cent interest bonds
issued for the State University at Yer
million; $4,000 6 per cent interest
bonds issued for the State Agricultural
College at Brookiugs, July l, 1885; 3d.
600 6 per cent Interest bonds issued for
the Madison Normal School July l,
1885, $4,000 6 Ter cent bonds issued for
the School Of Mines at Rapid City, July
l, 1885.
THIS makes IL net reduction of the
bonded Indebtedness OF 3l5G,OOO, leaving
a total bonded Indebtedness of $l,O11,-
