It is understood that this action is taken to allow Mr. Manning to accept the Presi­dency of the new Western National Bank N e w York City. It is e ipected that Mr. Manning will continue to »ct as Secretary

for several weeks yet and nothing definite ig yet known as to who hi* successor will be. It is understood that the position has been offered to Hoa . Smith M. Weed, who declined it. There is a rumor that Mr. Bayard will resign as Secretary of State and succeed Mr. Manning, and another rumor says that Wm. L . Fairchild will be the new Secretary of Treasury, but at present there appears to be no reliable basis for forecasting the future in the mat­ter. It is understood that Mr. Manning leaves the Cabinet with the best of feeling between him and the President, his resig­nation having long ago been determined on account of the state of his health.

President Cleveland sent to Congress his veto of the Dependent Pension Bill Feb. 11th. The following extracts from the message will serve to indicate its tone.-

This is the first general bill that has been sanctioned by Congress since the close of the late civil war permitting a pension to the soldiers and sailors who served in that war upon the ground of service and present disability alone, and in the entire absence of any injuries received by the casualties or incidents of such service.

While by almost constant legislation s ince the close of this war there has been compensation awarded for every possible injury receded as a result of military ser­vice in the Union army, and while a great number of laws passed for that purpose have been administered with great liber­ality, and have been supplemented bv numerous private acts to reach special case*, there has not, until now, been an avowed departure from the principle thus far adhered to respecting Union soldiers, that the bounty of the government in the w a y of pensions is generously bestowed when granted to those who in this mili­tary service, and in the line of military duty, have to a greater or less extent, been disabled.

THE REBELLION.

The War of the Rebellion terminated nearly twenty-two years ago; the hambef of men furnished for its prosecution is stated to be 2,,72,408, No corresponding number of statutes have ever been passed to cover every kind of injury or disability incurred in. the military service of war. I'nder these statutes 561,576 pensions have been granted from the year 1861 to June 30, lH^f;, and more than twenty-six hun­dred pensioners have been added to the rolls by private acts passed to meet the cases, many of them of questionable merit, which the general laws did not cover.

On the 1st day of July, 1886, 365,763 pensioners of all classes were upon the pension rolls, of whom 305,005 were sur­vivors of the War of the Rebellion and their widows and dependents. For the year ending June 30, 1S87, #75,000,000 have been appropriated for the pa3-ment of pensions, and the amount expended for that purpose from 1861 to July 1, 1886, is 8308,624,811.51.

While annually paying out such a vast sum for pensions already granted, it is now proposed by the bill under consider­ation to award a service pension to the soldiers of all wars in which the United States has been engaged, including, of course, the War of the Rebellion, and to pay those entitled to the benefits of the act the .gum. of $12 per month.

So far as it relates to the soldiers of the late civil war the bounty it affords them is given thirteen years earlier than it has been furnished to the soldiers of any other war and before a large majority of its bene­ficiaries have advanced in age beyond the strength and vigor of the prime of life.

It exacts only a military or naval service of three months, without any requirement of actual engagement wi th an enemy in battle and without a subjection to any of the actual dangers of war.

» » • . + • A SPI' STSTEil.

What is support? Who is to determine whether a man earns it or has it not ? 13 the government to enter the homes of claimants for pensions, and, after an ex­amination of their surroundings and cir-cumstanGes, settle those questions ? Shall the government say to one man that his manner of subsistence by his earnings is a support and to another that the things his earnings furnish are not a support ? A n y attempt, however honest, to admin­ister this law in such a manner would ne­cessarily produce more unfairness and un­just discrimination and give more scope for partisan partiality and would result in perversion of the government's benevo­lent intentions than the erecution of any statute ought to permit.

If, in the effort to carry out the propos­ed law, the degree of disability as related to earnings be considered for the purpose of discovering if, in any way, it curtails the support which the applicant, if entire­ly *ound, would earn, and to which he is entitled, we enter the broad field long oc­cupied by the Pens ion Bureau, and w e recognize as the only difference between the proposed legislation and previous laws passed for the benefit of the surviving soldiers of the civil war the incurrence in case of disabilities in military service and in the other disabilities existing but in no way connected with or resulting from such service.

» » « * + * A ROLL OF HOXOH.

I cannot believe that the vast, peaceful army of Union soldiers, who, having con-tendedly resumed their places in the or­dinary avocations of life, cherish as sacred the memory of patriotic service, or -vrixo,

having been disabled by the castulities of war, just ly regard the present pension roll, on which appear their names, aa a roll of honor, desire at this time and in the present exigency to be confounded with those who through such a bill as this are willing to be objects of simple chanty and to gain a place upon the pension roll through alleged dependence.

Recent personal observation and exper­ience constrain me to refer to another re­sult which will inevitably follow the pas­sage of this bill. I t is sad, but neverthe­less true, that already in the matter of procuring pensions there exists a wide­spread disregard of truth and good faith, stimulated by tho»e who as agents under­take to establish claims for pensions heed­lessly entered upon by the expectant ben­eficiary, and encouraged, or at least not condemned, by those unwilling to obstruct a neighbor's plans.

In the execution of this proposed law under an interpretation a wide Said of In­quiry would be opened for the oataehsh. ment of facts largely witkia the knowledge of the ciaisaanU alone, aad these can be no doubt that the race after the peassons offered by this bill would not only stimu­late weakness and pretended incapacity for labor, but a farther presnians o n dis­honesty and tnendacHy.

The effect of new invitations to apply for penakme or of new advantages added to causes for pensions already existing i s ">metis»ei startling.

Thus on Jfareb, 1879, large arrearages of pensions were allowed t o h e added t o all elaists t i e d prior to July I, IffM. For

tion upon our labor and production has increased in volume and urgency.

I am not willing to approve a measnre presenting the objections to which this bill is subject and which moreover will have tbc effect nf disappointing the ex­pectation of f n u p people and thrir desire and hope for relief from war taxation in time of peace.

WASHUfOTOJf. Feb . 18,18*7, Tbe «en«ation of the p a n week on Capi­

tol Hill was the President's veto of one of the mopt reckless =penmcn- of legislation that wa* ever pre=enfed tn any CnpErpw — "The Universal Pfn^i^n bill." N H t h i t hi= nr'k>n was a =urprice t-> thr">e who have watched his cour«c in regard , n P' n-sion matters, for he has shown, on several occasions already that he ha« the courazp to do his dnty. But, as Representative Springer said, no man no m m cvtr filler] the office nf President before Mr. Cleve­land, who would have had the h.->Mne«s to veto such a bill which had pvs*rd both Houses of Congress by more than two-thirds majority, and which had so power­ful a tpntiment at th» back of it.

Echoes of congratulation have been com­ing back to the President from a'l parts of the country, and he has lvnrd plenty of censure from the mere partisans w h o have learned to regard the war as thoir personal legacy. But be will h i v e the praise approval" and gratitude of the great mass of the people of all sections, the tax-paying civilian and the honc-t vete­ran, of ail true patriots both North and South.

The reading of the President's message explaining his reasons for the veto com­manded close attention from the House of Representatives. Many Congressmen are now unable to say what their future ac­tion will be until" they have heard from their constituents. It is thought, Low-ever, that the bill could not be passed over the veto, for many members who voted for it have been surprised since at the condemnation it received from peo­ple among all parties.

Should this remarkable pension bill be­come a law, it would give a pension to every ex-Union soldier w h o cannot earn the sort of living he would like—in other words, to every man w h o wa^ in the Federal army and is yet alive. I t would give a pension to every drunkard and shiftless loafer who was in the army for ninety days, even if his disability is due solelj- to his own vices. It would give a premium to medicaucy and indolence, for nothing convinces a man that he is un­able to work like showing him that he can live without it.

A n d then think of the millions after millions of the people's money that such a bill would waste. It would double the pension burden of the United States, mak­ing it if 150,000,000 a year. It would make the roll Gail of pensioners larger than the Federal army ever was and four times as large a3 the whole standing army of England.

The Republican members of Congress have made but little comment upon the subject. The veto message seems to have taken their breath. Rep . Stalnecker of N . T . , thinks the message is the ablest state paper of Mr. Cleveland's term. Said he. "It takes up the bill, section by sec­tion, and just tears it to tatters. In stat­ing his reasons for the veto, he has built a fort around him which it will be difficult to storm."

A western congressman, who w a s speaking of the President's courage said, "My admiration for him w a s never great until now. H e has turned his face against a sentiment before which all parties have bowed, and if he is sustained by Con­gress, this incident may be the turning point of a popular reaction against the abuse of the whole pension business."

Another enthusiast over the President's pluck said, "It is the greatest and the best thing that Cleveland ever did. It re­quired just such a roan as he to put a firm foot down against a 9ystem of legislation which threatened to swamp this Govern­ment." Representative Oates of Alabama, remarked that this veto would make the South solid again.

Indeed there w a s no limit to this pen­sion business and there appeared to be nobody with courage enough to say where it should .stop. Of course the Presdent has hot fixed a final l imit to thi3 kind of pernicious legislation, but he has Shown himself equal to the situation. He has drawn the attention of the country to the abuse in such a way that the people p a y the taxes will begin to think i t over.

If he had signed this Pauper Pension bill, he would doubtless have been called upen during the year to sign a supple­mentary bill—a bill pensioning all men who wanted to enlist in the Federal arm}', but who were physically unable or were needed at home by dependent families. W h y not? If all men who enlisted, and who want more for support than their present incomes, are entitled to pensions, w h y should not- all men be equally deserv­ing of pensions w h o wanted to enlist and could not?
