| | git? 0 omen OO PENSION BILLS VETOED. ithe financial question the issue, | whether the Republicans prefer to ' make the fight on that issue or not. The President Gives bis Reasons in Two Pecahiar Cases. Washington, D. C., April 22 The President to-day sent to the Senate vetoes of two Senate pension | bills. The first was in the case of Charles E. Jones, a P »hotographer, | which attracted considerable atten- | tion in the House. It is as follows: | To the Senate—I return herewith without my approval Senate bill No 249, entitled an act granting a pen- sion to Charles E. Jones. The bene- ficiary named in this bill was a pho tographer who accompanied one of} the regiments of the Union army in| the war of the Rebellion. He was injured apparently not very seriously while taking photographs and where no battle was in actual progress. He was not enlisted and was in no manner in the military service of the United States. Aside from the question as to whether bis present sad condition is attributable to the injury sustained, it seems to me the extension of pen- sion relief to such cases would open the door to legislation hard to justi- fy and impossible to restrain from abuse. (Signed) Grover CLEVELAND. Executive Mansion, April 21, 1596. The other veto was in the case of the bill for a pension to Nancy G. Allabach. It provides for a pension for Mrs. Allabach, who is the widow of Peter H. Allabach, who seryed in both the Mexican war and the war of the rebellion. The President calls attention to the fact that Mr. Alla bach made no application for pension on account of disabilities during his life. “It is not,” he says, “now claimed that he was in the least dis abled as an incident of his military service, nor is it alleged that his death, which occurred nearly twenty- aine years after his discharge from the army, was in any degree related to such service.” He says the widow was pensioned after her husband’s death as the widow of a Mexican soldier, and that her case falls under the general act of 1890. “It is proposed, how- ever,” he continues, “‘by this special aet under consideration to give this widow a pensicn of $30 a month, without the least suggestion of the death or disability of her husband having been caused by his military service and solely, so far as discover able upon the ground that she is poor and needs the money. The condition is precisely covered by ex- isting laws; and if a precedent is to be established by the special legisla tion proposed, I do not see how the same relief asis contained in this bill can be denied to the many thou- sands of widows who are in similar situations and not on the pension rolls under general laws.” Finance the Issue, Kansas City World. The Republicans of both Maryland and Connecticut yesterday declared unequivocally in favor of the single gold standard. The Connecticut plat- form says: “We are unalterably opposed to the issue of unsecured paper curren- cy, either by the government or by the hanks; the free coinage of silver at any ratio, and we favor a single standard of value, and that value gold.” The Maryland currency plank says “We believe in the gold standard upon which to base our circulating medium, are opposed to the free, un- limited coinage of silver until an in- ternational agreement of the import- | poliey is decided upon the better. jcurrency would be the issue. As a matter of fact, the great mass of voters would prefer to see the contest made on the lines mappe ai jout by the Republicans of Massa-} chusetts and Connecticut.

Hall’s Hair Renewer is the best pre- ventive. The Cost of the mennte: Globe-Democrat, The people are not generally aware of the fact that the senate of the United States is one of the most ex- pensive legislative bodies in the world. They know that each sena- tor has a salary of $5,000 a year, which is certainly not very extrava- gant; but this stipulated and reason- able corapensation constitutes only a part of the aggregate cost of the senate. The expense apart from salaries is $4,888 per memker, which is to say that, with the salary includ- ed, each senator costs the country $9,883 per year. In Great Britain and in Germany the same class of officers not only get no salaries, but have to pay all of their incidental expenses out of their own pockets; andin France a member of the chamber of deputies gets only $1,800 per annum. 1t can hardly be claimed that our senators earn more than men performing like service in other countries, or that they have an exceptional value for ornamental purposes. They receive $5,000 apiece for the work that they do, and there is no room for complaint about that; but in order to get the work done an expenditure of nearly as much more is made. This is surely an exorbitant sum to pay for things which the senators consider necessary in the procession of legis- lation. There is no desire that men in the public service stall work for nothing or deprive’ themselves of ordinary comforts and conveniences; but when a salary of $5,000 a year is paid, there is certainly no excuse for nearly doubling the expense in that relation. These expenditures are constantly increasing in the senate. That is to say, the senators are con- stantly making themselves a more costly luxury, without any corres- ponding gain tothe country in the way of improyed service dr other- wise. There is obvious need of re- trenchment and reform in this mat- ter. The senators sheuld contrive to get along without some of the things for which the people are now paying beyond the amount of the regular salaries. They have an op portunity to practico the economy which they are so fond of preaching by cutting down their own expenzes. The average cost of a representative $939 in excess of the salary, and the people cannot be made to believe that a senator needs or deserves $4,883 in addition to his salary. To be sure, the postion is one of great dignity and responsibility, but it is| not one that justifies extravagance in the use of public money. The taxe payers have a right to protest when it takes almost as much to pay the| incidental expenses of the senators as it takes to pay their salaries, and| ant world shall give silver a larger use.” Pennsylvania will unquestionably | follow Maryland and Connecticut | to-day, and every Eastern state will send delegations to St. Louis pledged to the single gold standard.

Goodwin, $(Pop.,) was sworn in in his place. The retirement of Mr. Cobb of Alabama, from the member- ship of the house reduces the Dem- ocratic representation in that body to 99 the lowest since the Forty- thicd congress, when they had but 88. The Democrats had the high- water mark in the house in the Fifty- second congress, when they hada total of 230 which was reduced in the Fifty-third congress to 200 and 104 in the beginning of the present one. Probably five or six Democrats are still to go before the session closes and one case, that against Downing ofjIllinois, was reported to the house yesterday. The Repub- licans have reached the highwater mark of their existence in the pres- 250 members. The lowest number by which they were every represent- ed was 92 in the Tirty-fifth congress.
