A VETO TO BE IGNORED.
The Pire Per Cent. Public Land
Pond
Merely Held in Trnst.
Salem, Feb. 22. The "omnibus wagon
road bill" was not received by the gov
ernor in time for his excellency to return
it with, his veto before the legislature
adjourned sine die. It w.s, however,
filed Saturday evening in the office of
tne secretary oi state, .f ollowing is the
veto:
I herewith leturn bouse bill 306 with
my dissent. This bill appropriates " 'out
of the 5 per cent, United States land
sale fund of the state of Oregon the sum
of 51JJ7,OW " to aid the county courts of
certain counties in the construction of
certain wagon roads specified in the bill.
There is now in the state treasury of the
fun above mentioned the sum of $6,389.
12. - Section 3 of the bill provides" 'that
whenever the county courts of any county
named in section 2 of this act shall cer
tify to the eecretary of state that the
amount named in aid Of such court has
been expended in the repairs or con
struction of the road or roads named for
said county, as provided in section 2, or
shall certify that any portion of the sum
set apart for the repairs or construc
tion of any road in said county,
provided for in said section 2, has been ex
pended and applied as provided by this
act, the said secretary of state' shall
draw h's warrant in favor of said county
for the sum certified, provided the said
amount shall in no instance, exceed the
sum set apart in aid of the county court
tor the particular road certihed, as pro
vided by section 2 of this act. It thus
appears that the county court must first
incur the inaeDteanes Detore tne state
assumes it. This is plainly repugnant
to section 8, article 11, of the state con
stitution, which expressly declares that
the state shall never assume the debt
of any county, town or other corporation
wha'ever, unless such debts shall have
been created to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection or defend the state m war.'
The bill is also repugnant to section 7 of
the same article, which limits the liabil
ities of the state to $oU,(HH).
This action of the governor will not
disconcert the wagon-road men in the
least. The organic act admitting Ore
gon into the Union provides that the
proceeds derived from 5 per cent, of the
sale of public lands in the state may be
used for the building of public roads or
other internal improvements, as the leg- I
tslature. may- direct. This bill, which
the governor has just vetoed, ia not an
appropriation of state money, in any
sense, but merely a direction of the leg
islature how the land received from the
United States shall be applied. Despite
the growing "Pennoyer boom," the gov
ernor is not yet president, and can
hardly hope at the present time to veto
an act of congress. -The . bill did not
recognize the governor at all, for the
emergency clause read that It "shall be
in efi'ect from and after its passage."
The county courts of - Josephine and
Curry counties will teat the soundness
of this position immediately, The road
down Rogue river will be built as soon
as possible, and then the secretary of
state will be called upon to draw his
warrant for $16,000 for the two counties.
Should he refuse, as he is quite likely to
do under the circumstances, suit will be
brought in the supreme court to compel
him to issue the warrants, and it is confi
dently expected that the court will hold
that the governor has no power to direct
or interfere with the legislature in the
disposition of this fund. The weakness
of the governor's position was pointed
out by himself, it is claimed, when he
sent his message to the legislature, urg
ing it to take steps to get the consent of
congress to the transference of this
money to the common school fund.
WHAT WAS HIS FAITH?
Anotlier Letter Prom Pather Sherman
Regarding His Pather's Belief.
- New York, Feb. Ho. some time ago
the Evf.nina World quoted Rev. Thomas
E. Sherman as saying that his father,
the dead general, was not a Catholic.
The next day it printed an interview
in which the priest said his father had
been baptized in the Catholic church,
married in the Catholic church, and had
expressed to him a belief that if there
, . ii i i at fi..t. i :
was any irue reiigiuu it ww lug abuuut;,
The Times now prints a letter of the Rev.
Mr. Sherman, written in 1878 to Samuel
Reber. a kinsman of the family, announc
his intention bf going abroad to study
for the priesthood, although his father
had educated him for the bar, faying :
"As with me alone rested the duty and
burden of choosing my path in life, so
with me alone restsathe blame or praise
in having chosen the church instead of
the law. Aiy iatner, as you Know, is not
a Catholic, and therefore the step I am
taking seems as startling and as strange
to him as I have no doubt it does to you,
my dear sir. I go without his approval,
sanction or consent; in fact,-in direct
opposition to his best wishes in my be
half, for he had formed other plans for
me, which are now defeated, and had
other hopes and other expectations in
my regard, which are necessarily dashed
to the ground.' Feeling painfully aware
that I have aggrieved and disappointed
my father, I beg my friends and his, one
and all, of whatever religion they may be,
to spare him inquiries or 'comments of
any sort, for I cannot help feeling that
anything of the kind will be ill-timed
and inappropriate."

ORAT'H HARBOK I.IXE.
Hnnt Said to Have Abandoned His
l'ro-
posed Road.
Tacoma, Feb. 25. It was rumored
here today that (Jr. W. Hunt, the rail
way magnate, has concluded to abandon
his proposed line in the Gray's harbor
country.. Every effort was made to
gain some authoritative statement con- .
cerning the report, but without success,
although it was generally believed. A
gentleman well informed in regard to
Hunt s plans, so far as the building of
his contemplated line to the coast is con
cerned, said f . ,
"1 am satisfied that Hunt has entirely
abandoned his plans, not because he batt
not found them possible, but because he
has met with so many olstacles and so
much opposition from his enemies in
the railroad world. It is safe to say .
that the Northern Pacific has been a
very important factor in Hunt's decision
to give up his plans. When it first be
came known that Hunt contemplated
the building of the line the Northern
Pacific made overtures to liiru which he
rejected. Efforts were made to have
him listen to that corporation, but he
declined. As 1 understand it, the North
ern Pacific concluded that Mr. Hunt
would find more trouble in the consum
mation of his plans than he anticipated.
Now we see that the Northern Pacific i
running trains into that country, while
Mr. Hunt is practically no nearer that
fulfillment of his plans than he wan
when he first decided to run a line to
that section.
A Portune Bequeathed Mrs. O'Shea..-
London, Feb. 25. The will of Mrs.
Woods, aunt of Mrs. O'Shea, bequeathed
to Mrs. O'Shea a large fortune, of which
the divorcee expected to obtain posses
sion, hut the frequent public allusions to
Parnell's probable interest in the fortune
induced her brothers to bring action to
have the will declared invalid on the
ground of undue influence used, and de
ceased being incapable of making a will.
Applications are made to see the docu
ments, which Mrs. O'Shea does not want
produced, including the diary of her
aunt which iB likely to show Mrs. Wood's
mental condition.
The 3few Proces.
Beklin, Feb. 25. Liebrcieh's new.
method of treating tuberculosis was des
cribed by the discoverer today. The
substance used is cantharidate of potash,
which is administered in solution by
systematic injections under the skin.
Clinical experiments seem to prove it is
remedial in tuberculosis and other dis
eases. Liebreich says he is still carrying
on investigations, and the announcement
is made prematurely.
