Tho Threat of "a Veto.

~HAT was an unlikely-looking dis
patch in yesterday afternoons
report which announced that the
president had decided to veto the Gu
bar resolutions IL they carry recognition
of Cuban Independence and that Mr..
Mckinley has said as much to senator's
who called on him. To make a threat
OF the kin would be something re-
markable.
1t is easy to see that the president
has been put in unpleasant quarters
for which experience he has himself to
blame. He kept congress waiting while
he dickered with Madrid: he asked an
armistice. Spain granted II and con-
gress-improperly. as the Standard can
not help thinking-shows no disposition
to respect the concession. So that IL
puzzles one to see what rights the
president has in the anne anyhow.
When. by offering an armistice. Spain
adroitly got the top hand in its deal
with the president. Mr.. Mckinley
turned the whole business over to the
two houses and. in the closing para
graphs of his message. he said: THE
issue is now with congress. 1t is n
solemn responsibility. i have exhaust
ed every effort to relieve the intolerable
condition of affairs which Is at our
doors. Prepared to execute every obli-
cation imposed upon me by the consti-
tuition and law. and ! await your ac-
tion."
There was nothing conditional abou
this: the country had no reason to be-
lieye that the presiden; YOU sulk
il congress doesn't happen to act
his way. II Is true that ever since the
Wednesday when the president ought
TO have sen. in his message and didn't
do II. the administration forces have
been bringing every pound Of pressure
they can muster to bear on republicans:
II Is also true that pressure was sue
cessful in turning the house republicans
scores Of them-from their fixed pur-
pose to insist on the recognition of Gu
ban independence.
Perhaps the president Is not to be
called severely to account for this
course on his part. But when II comes
TO forcing his policy. the senate is toe
many for Mr.. Mckinley. II he has said
to senators. in advance Of a vote in
that body. that he will veto a declara-
tion OF Cuba's independence. h loyalty
of enators to their convictions and %
their opinion as to h IL right will
draw the lines between & and
the executive more distinctly than ever
BY this we mean between the major
lily of congress and the executive. for
beyond a doubt. a large majority In
congress is heartily for recognition
and when the conference stage Is
reached. which will come after both
houses have acted independently-th'
president may discover that admins
tration pressure has ceased to be po
tent. The rumor touching the presi
dents intention is rot denied. Thi
morning a Washington dispatch midi,
says that IL is "unconfirmed."
