clared , was not actuited by nnj icgaid tor
the worth or meiit of piivate pension bills.
Ills lenson lei vetoing the bills was not that
tlioyweie unworlliv. Ills IPI OII v\as nj > -
patent on the face ot the messages , He was
in s.vmpathj with the palt.v opposed to pen-
sionlnc union snldleis and hu did not pro
pose Hint any union soldlci should be pen
sioned U ho could avoid It. It was said tli.it
thu president meant light. He did mean
light to plciso a ccitaln element In the
eountrj , hut not right to ple.i c honest , loyal
people.
Mi. MeMillin of Tennessee The president
has signed mote pilvato pensions than any
other president in the same spice of time.
Mi. Jackson And he hns vetoed ten times
more good ones than all other piesldeiits put
together.
Mr. Pnrklns of Kansas nddicssed himself
to the consideration of the piesldent's mes
sage , nnd criticised the position taken bv
thu president thnt the government should
not assure Its soldiers nirnlnst iiuaiielbome
propensities or unprovoked assaults.
Mi. Matson thought the messages should be
considercd carefully. Tlie gentleman on the
othe ; side seemed ndvetse to eet at the presi
dent. ' 1 be democrats weie determined thu
president should have fail play , and thev
would stand b > that position. It wns not fail
piny to the piesident to undeitakc , upon

veto.

Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin said there seemed
to bj nn idea In the house that It was the
duty ot the piesident to vindicate his oflicn in
Invor of the majority of the committee on In
valid pensions whenever , in the excrcisu of
the constitutional pruioiMlnoelvcn him , he
examined legislation to see vvhethei 01 not it
was piov ident and wise. It vv as charged that
ho had perpetrated an outiage on the Ameil-
can people. He ( Uiau'g ) maintained that the
president was honestlv discharging tils duty
when , In the exercise ot his judgment , ho
sent legislation hick with his icnsons for
withholding his approval. The house should
act upon the question , not with iivm igo ical
speeches , but with judicial and
deliberate consideration. lie ( Ihairg )
wns glnil to lind that at last there vvnbaimui
In the executive chait who had the none and

when ho thought It impropei , whether it was

Mi. Harrows' motion to instruct was lost

lerrcd to the committee on invalid pensions.
Thn next message was ono vetoing the bill

Mr. Watson diew a comparison between
thu workot n republican and a democratic
congtoss for the pinposo of pointing out that
nearly nil pension legislation or importance
had been unacted by tlio democrats. Only a

against the proposition to raise money tor the

WASHINGTON , Julj 7. [ SjK'dnl Telegrnni
to the BIK. : ] After the exhibition of deniO'
cnitlc hostility to pensions given on the floor
of the house to-diy , there need be no hope by
soldiers of Iho country for justice as longns
the . picscnt partv is In power. N'umeious
lenders of the domocincj , among them Clnlr-
mnn Matson , of tlio commlttco nn invalid
pensions , nnd the pretentious Uolmnn en-
doised the vetoes of Piesidenl Cleveland nml
voted to sustain him In Ids work of depriving
soldieis , their widows ami oiphnus , ot whnt
is Justly duo them. G ncral Browne of In
diana , Hepburn and Henderson , of Iowa ,
Mr. Cannon , of Illinols.aml other piomlncnt
republicans exposed the flimsy hypocrisy of
these demagogues who pretend to woik for
pensions , but who nro secretly opposing
them. Yet the hypocrites spoke and voted
with the president.
Up to to day President Cleveland has ve
toed cightj-clghtpilvatcpciislonbills. When
ho vetoes eleven more ho will have vetoed as
many private pension bills as the aggiegnto
of nil the vetoes of eveiy class bj all other
presidents. It seems that Mi. CIcvelind Is
bent on outdoing thu whole iccoid of vetoes
by nil ot his piedecessors , nnd not go outside
of prlv ate pension bills to do It. It has been
claimed by dcmociats In congress that tlm
president Is justlilcd in vetoing so many pen
sion bills because enotmous sums of monej ,
aggicgatlm : millions nnnuilly , have been
voted away In spccliic or piivato pensions.
It hns been ascertained that all pensions
drawn by special acts of congicss nt thlstlmn
amount to less than hall a million dollars n
yenr-and thnt statements to the contiary aio
biscM upon those greatly exaggerated and
uniformly deceiving estimates made
designedly by Commissioner Ulaek. Nearly
all the pensionsginntcd Dy special act are
lei only SB a monthand at least nineteen out
of tw enty are for this amount. It Is learned
that anunibcr ot times President Cleveland
has dismissed cabinet meetings whether
matters of national Impoitancc , such as the
fisheries , financial , Chinese , etc. , woie being
discussed to veto pilvate pension bills. Fur-
tliei , it Is learned thnt the piesident Ins icllcd
solely for evidrnce upon which to write his
vetoes , on the briefs made at the pension
odlco In thocnses wacn they were rejected.
All these briefs weio wilttcn jears ago ,
many tw enty j ears ago , nnd none contain the
no.v testimony In the cases , and all contain
more 01 less ot new matter.
A good deal was said to day , in debilo nnd
In pi i\ ate , about the sneers , slurs and jocu-
lai obscivationsof tlio piusident In his ve
toes , and a good deal of feeling is being
shown on account of them. These add Insult
to injury , are wholly gratuitous , and show the
flippant dlsrcgaid of Mr. Cleveland , not only'
for the condition of the soldicis nnd these
dependent upon them , but the cause they
repicsent. "Ho is just like all copperncads , "
wns hcnid n number of times to day.
Rcpiescntatlvo Owen , of Indiana , a Iruo
friend of the soldiers and just pensions , expressed -
pressed tlie belief that thoie had ucvci been
such bold woik on the floor of the house by
the enemies of pensions as that of to-day ,
now M'jmtA.SKA viujinins STOOIJ.
All of the Nebraska members were In theli

an intcicsting question. AVIicn the Om.i-

who freely expressed the opinion that
Chicago would always ronuin the chief
market of the country for live stock.
That the business was so firmly rooted
weio other people who thought differ
ently. Sonic ot these lind faith that it
could bo done , and they set to work to
bring it about. They invested their
money in Omaha , linn in the fsiith that : i
long Fmnl for live stock is not the prollta-
blc tiling. Although the Omaha ijlant is
a young one , it is exceedingly vigorous
nnd gives great promise for the future.
Chicago live stock dealers nro ut length
avvakcnhigtotho fact that the trade of the
noithwpbt is slipping sway from them.
Many of them are making investments
ut the Omalm stock ynuis. and more

in order for Omana to icnp the full

omcigency. She can hardly alibi d to
let the present go by without making a
move in tins direction.
