THE PRESIDENTS VETO.
It's Probable Effect on Bills That Are
Pending.

The action of the President in vetoing the
bill to grant an honorable discharge to
Glass, whose record contained a charge Of
desertion from the navy, will probably in
f1uence the naval committee of the Senate.
as it will all the committees having con-
sideration of bills to remove the charge Of
desertion, to practically establish rule
that bills be not reported favorably that
contain the same line of circumstances
that surrounded the case Of Glass. There
are now before the Senate committee on
naval affairs, from which the bill to grant
Glass an honorable discharge was favor
ably reported, four bills, and three other
bills have been favorably reported by that
committee to the Senate during the pres
ent session.
Yesterday the Senate passed bill to re-
move the charge of desertion from the rec
ord of Thomas Cordingly. In this case 1t
appears that Cordingly was assigned to
duty on the receiving ship Vermont in 1854.
to be mustered out at the Brooklyn navy
yard. A dispute arose concerning the
amount OF salary due him, and he declined
to sign the necessary papers. Not knowing
that this was placing the charge of deser-
tion against his name. he thought nothing
further Of the matter until he received
notice through the Navy Department that
a charge of desertion rested against his
name 1t is not believed in this case that
the bill meets the objection made by the
President against the Glass case.
While there was some irritation on the
part of certain senators over the action OF
the President in yetoing the Glass bill.
there Is no likelihood that the committee
on naval affairs will reconsider the bill.
1t will accept the Presidents action as
final, and the Glass case will form q prece-
dent to indicate the class Of bills that can
be approved by the President. The COM
mittee in nearly every case 1t passes on re-
fers bills Of this character to the Navy De-
partment for information. Many Of these
bills emanate from the Navy Department.
The subcommittee, Of which Senator Platt
of New York is chairman, has been accus-
toned to take into consideration the ex-
treme youth of those charged with deser-
some additional important factors enter
into cases Of that sort 1t is not likely that
the youthfulness OF a deserter will in the
ports as in the past.

II particular expense is within the OBJ

whether it Is necessary or appropriate
thereto is one which is ordinarily within the
discretion Of the officer having control Of
the disbursement of the moneys appropri-
ated. But this discretion is not an unlimit-

toned by the accounting officers II In so
doing they incur expenses not within the
object OF the appropriation.
There Is, so far as can learn, an entire
absence Of congressional legislation as to
who shall be the beneflciaries OF these ap-
preparations. Whether adults shall be ad-
Of the District, or whether their benefits
shall be confined to minors, as In the states
supporting free school systems, Is left un-
answered by congressional legislation.
Whether certain class only shall have
the benefit of a certain school Is the Ques-
tion arising under the case submitted. The
appropriations are made for public schools,
ane the establishment of night schools Is
recognized, but whether school confined
to particular class of adults such as the
f1remen stationed at a particular engine
house, Is a public school. Is question con-
corning which I am not at all free from
doubt.
In the absence, however, of any at
tempted definition or limitation Of what
constitutes a public school in the District
of Columbia, and in view of the broad dis
cretion given the board Of education as re-
CARDS these night schools, do not on the
whole feel authorized - question the dis
cretion which the board has exercised IN
thus establishing these schools and limiting
the attendance, by holding that the appro-
priations are unavailable for the payments
ercise of discretion is one that merits con-
