10 THE BIJJiLINGTON, VT., PKEE FllESS. FKJDAY, MARCH 4, 1887.- -TWELVE PAGES. DEPENDENT PENSION BILL PASSAGE OVER THE VETO DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE. Tho Prorldmit's Acllnll Strongly Siippott 'd by Uragg, HIoi Hum ami Otliors Tlm President- Oplnlm.s In 1881 mill InlKST ltmllrully llilt'moiit. V.slll'(iTOV, Feb. 1!!. The dependent pension bill was taken tip hy the House and dircitsi'd'with relerencoto ItH passage. over the veto of the president. Mr. Morrill of Knn-as pointed out and criticised what lie rewarded fal.-e ns-uniplionH and lncon ne-teiieies with whien the veto inesne;o nb'tnii'i.-il ; and app. .dcd to the IloiHeln the name of justice, urntit.udc and lin niuhilx to pais the hill which would ujve Nheltei' to the worn out veterans who otheruKe would lie left to the precarious provision of private charity or puh'ic aims. Mr, MracK of Winconsln Hpokc at great length in support of the veto and luferred to the hill as "one of the most scandalous bills which hail ever been Kent to the president." The people of the, country without regard to party have every reason to he thankful that this hill had been presented to an executive who had back bone enough to meet the situation It would grant pensions to men who had enlisted from December, 1304, to June, ltJ5. Who were those men F They were the f-tnni of theeaith. They htuyed in their homes until they were bought by men who speculated in blood. The gen tlemaii talked about soldiers being in almshouses, t he men who went there were native there. They lay down and opened their months for a teat to suicl. Mr. .Steele of Indiana interjected a remark. mt isragg said lie knew that the gentle man who had just interrupted him, if he dared vote his conviction, would vote as he (Hraggidid. He know who had com muted themselves day after day in opposl tl n to the principle of the bill and were grateful lor the veto. Cries of "who are they ? 'J I know what lam talking about. I have heard them repeated cries of ' name them, name your man, you can't do it" and much noise and confusion). "The republican con gressmen all ot them" was Jlragg's reply, which was greeted with mingled applause, laughter and jeers. Mr. Hnt!g declared that the press of the country was opposed to tile bill. These gentlemen who sat up aloft (pointing to the press gallery) might some tune or other turn this big pension boom into a much larger boomerang in some gentleman's district Applause. "We have fared as well In our districts as the gentleman has in his" exclaimed Hen derson of Iowa and thin allusion to Uragg's failure to secure a rcmomination was greeted with loud and continued laughter on the republican side. Mr. Uragg reunited that the pre-H was oppos ed to the bill. The gallant Holdier, tne governor of Maine, Chamberlain, stood by the president. "Yes," cried Boutelle, "and he stands alone in Maine." Applame o:i the re publican side. J "I speak for Maine." f.Ieers on the democratic side ami cries of "sorry for Maine." Mr Ur.igg continuing The great sol dier, Palmer of Illinois, . stood by the pres ident. Gov. Cox of Ohio stood by the president. Old Dan Sickles of the third army corps said the veto was a most glorious deed. It was only the little minds that went buzzing about like insects that opposed hi m, Henderson of Iowa (contemtuously.) Yon stand by the president ? Mr. Hragg Xo stair commissary can ever excite me. I am speaking for what I consider t lie soldiers' interest. The largest Grand Army post in my State yesterday voted not to n-k the members of Congress to go against the president. Whyluoknt the ellect. The confederate soldiers without hope are toiling day by day ai.d exhibiting thrift, industry and energy never expected ot them, while the Northern man, independent, self-reliant, indutihius, energetic anil enterprising lags b-hind into idleness. Why ?because he is waiting for his stipend to come from the government and when that btipend comes it is spent quickly and if lie comes from the poor house ho lapses back Into that position and waits for itnothci' stipend. Humanity only needs to bo encouraged to do uol l.ing. We are all liable todrop into the do nothing policy if we can pet some body to support Us and it is not good pub lic jioli-y for us to legislate to encourage vagab mdisni, whether among our soldiers or citizens. Mr. Morrison said, in my term of ollice I have v.'ted for every pension bill present ed. I voted for tins bill, hut I am satisfied t does not contain what its friends claim d. it and that it is lairly subject to the bjtetions urged against it in the veto. The president did not veto the bill because it pensioned loo many or too few, hut because by no leasonable construction could man tell wl'iit t d d mean. Mr. McKinley ol Ohio said that if he be lieved the bencliciuries of the bill were scoundrels and vagabonds ho would not vote lor its passage, but he did not believe with Mratrg that the beneficiaries were eithei" nli ks or vagabonds. He believed thore were thousands scattered over the count, v who fought as bravelyasthe gen tlenui' from Wisconsin, though they weie not h. if to tell ol tlieir deeds ol couraL'e atidgi'Jiy ll.oud laughter and applause on ii, c repimiican sine.) i hough they never i ode down the llnu amid the buzz is of the,r comrades Mr. Hepburn of Iowa commented on the fact that every gent lenian who ImiI spoken In opposition to the bill hkvo one had voted tor it originally. There must be some i i ason for this. A large number of them terminate their ollicial lives March I, and are now about the White House "bending the pregnant hinges of the knee that tl rift may follow fawning" Loud cneers aim laughter on the republican side J I deny the right, ho continued, of Mr Warner and Mr. Uragg to sneak for ineur.iud Army ot this country, 1 tell you that while these gentlemen once ilid oc cupy honorable places In the Grand Army and were everywhere received, yet they are looked upon to day when they rise In meir maces aim denounce their old comrades ns vagabonds and scamps aim scum oi Humanity as iieno diet Arnold was.

Mr. Matson of Indiana closed the de bate. He would be glad if lie could sun port the president's veto and present to the country an united party in support of that veto if his conscience and Ins heart won Id Derm t It. Ho had been asked whether the president bad over signed u petition asking that a pension bo granted io an soniiers or tne late war. lie had In bis hand a petition drawn u:i in lb8l. which was too long to read now. It was numerously signed and In substance asked that a pension of at least 18 a month be granted to nil honorably discharged sol diers. It contained this endorsement "1 nm sure that the subject of this petition is wormy or tne prompt anil careful con Hlderntlon of Congress and tho fullest justice should be done to the parties In whose Interests this movement Is made. Signed, Grover Cleveland." As Mr, Mat son concluded nearly every republican was on Ids feet and as Mr. Matson flu Ished reading tho endorsement, a loud burst of applause came from the republi can side of the chamber. The vote was then taken and It resulted yeas 17f, nays l'jn, not the constitutional tn-0-lhlr.ds in the allir. native. .mi:thoiist .iiimsti:i:s.

Two more shocks succeeded each other at brief inter vals, and the entire population rushed frantically into the streets, all in their nightdresses.
