Still Another Veto

Once, more the will of the American people as declared by their representatives in Congres? is overruled by a President who holds his place in defiance of the popular will. This timo it is the legislativo, judicial and exi cutive appropriation bilí tliat 9 vetoed. Not that its appropriations woro objectionable, butthatcertainconditionsattached thereto, taking the Federal hand off the elections in the States, should not bo granted. Tho veto and the reasons aseigned therefor have been anticipated. The stock argumenta of the Itepublican Congressional orators are boiled down in the message of His Fraudulency. No othor President, probably, would have presumed to assign unworthy motives and object to the frainers of a bilí. - Other Presidents would hare been content to discuas the effect. But nonelected Presidents, happily, are exceptional under our forin of goveminent, and we must not be surprised at their exceptional doings. The subject of eleotion frauda, on which Mr. Hayes prates so glibly, is of course a very familiar one to him. A man who owes his place to the most fla grant frauda of the contury can speak authoritatively on this subject. One would suppose, howover, that a becom ing modesty mighthave constrainedMr. Hayes to avoid referenoe to a subject of this sort. He must have blushed to bis boots when he did it. i i - ■ mm ■ i i i Ex-United States Senator Alooin (Rep.), of Mississippi, has written a letter to a friend in Kansas abont the negro exodus. He says that in his State there is no coiuplaint about labor or the payf it, but that the nogro shows an unconquerable repugnance to hard worlc. He continúes : " Threo years since I sold at fifteen cents per acre, cash, one thousand acres of land fronting on the Mississippi river, a good wood-yard and finely tirubered. This land, whicb brought me $150, and cost before the war $12,000. To-day the land is unoccupied. I would not receive it back at two cents per acre. Tho trouble lies in the fact that it is heavily timbered. - Clearing, fencing and building houses is work, and hard work." The negroes won't work in Mississippi any more than they will at homo. They expected to be ulied with milk and honey iu their new homes in the West without working for it. Fernando Wood the venerable premier of the House, shook thb Washington dust off his feet and sailed for Europe Saturday. Fernando has been in Congress, off and on, ever sinoe 1841. He is almost entitled to be dubbed an an Old Jfub Func. Satan rebuking sin is a picture not half so entertaining ag that of Hayes raising his hands in holy horror at election frauda. i- - i m i - 1 1 ■ _ Eare American and Foreign Coins for sale.
