THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The president's . message . has been
made public, and although it contains
20,000 words, the unbiased reader can
not discover in that fact any reason why
the president should have shot himself
up for two weeks to create it. It is a
resume of the past year's acts of the ad
ministration and therefore devoid of in
terest. That part of it which will at-
.Mt ffia mnot attention ia that, cnnnfirn-
injr the proposed changes in the banking
aydtem. The president heartily in
dorses Secretary Carlisle's plan of chang
ing this system so as to allow of more
rapid expansion of the currency.
Concerning the tariff, which is still
the one great question, he speaks as fol
lows: "The tariff act, passed at the last ses
sion of congress needs important amend
ments if it is to be executed effectively
and with certainty. In addition to such
necessary amendments as will not
change tbe rates of duty, I am still very
decidedly in favor of putting coal and
iron upon the free list. So far as tbe
sugar schedule is concerned, I would be
glad, under the existing aggravations, to
see every particle of differential duty in
favor of refined sugar stricken out of
our tariff law. If with all the favor ac
corded the sugar-refining interest in our
tariff laws, it still languishes to the ex
tent of closing refineries and discharing
thousands of workmen, it would seem to
present a hopeless case for reasonable
legislation. Whatever else is done or
omitted, I earnestly repeat here the
recomruendation I have made in an
other portion of this communication,
that the additional duty of l-10th of a
cent per pound, laid upon sugar im
ported from countries paying a bounty
on its export be abrogated. It seems to
me that exceedingly important consid
erations point to tbe propriety of this
amendment with the advent of a new
tariff, not only calculated to relieve the
consumers of our land in the cost of
their daily life, but to invite a better de
velopment of American thrift and create
for us closer and - more profitable com
mercial relations with the .rest of the
world, it follows as a logical and impera
tive necessity that we should at once re
move the chief, it not the only obstacle
which has so long prevented our partici
pation in tbe foreign carrying tradd of
the sea. A tariff built upon the theory
that it. is well to check imports, and
that a home market should bound the
industry and effort of American pro
ducers, was fitly supplemented by a re
fusal to allow American registry to ves
sels buit abroad, though owned and
navigated by our people, thus exhibit
ing a willingness to abandon all "contest
for the advantage of American trans
oceanic carriage. Oar new tariff policy,
built upon the theory that it is well to
encourage such importations as our peo
ple need, and that our products and
.manufactures should find markets in
every part of the habitable globe, is
, consistently supplemented by the great
est possible liberty to our citizens in the
ownership and navigation of ships in
which our products and manufactures
may be transported. Tbe millions now
paid to foreigners for carrying American
passengers and products across the sea
should be turned into American hands.
Shipbuilding, which has been protected
to strangulation, should be revived by
the prospect of profitable employment
for ships when built, and the American
- sailor should be resurrected and again
take his place, a sturdy and industrious
citizen in time of peace and a patriotic
and safe defender of American interests
in the' days of conflict. The ancient
provision of our law, denying American
' registry to ships built abroad and owned
' by Americans, appears in the light of
present conditions not only to be a fail
ure for good at every point, but to be
nearer a relic of barbarism than any
thing that exists under the permission
of a statute of the United States. I
earnestly recommend its prompt re
peal." The other parts of the message are ex
ceedingly commonplace. The pension
list is spoken of briefly, the president
indorsing the action of the present head
of the department in guarding against
fraud. The compilation of the census
of 1890, we are assured, will be com:
pleted in 1895. The president thinks
very properly that the postoffice depart
ment is abused by persons sending
cheap advertising schemes and trashy lit
erature through the mails as periodicals.
The message then proceeds to mention
in detail every branch "oi the govern
ment service, most of which being of an
uninteresting character, will be left un
read. The bank robbery at Portland last
week has some features about it that
look exceedingly "fisby." ' The safe in
stead of being a burglar proof time lock
affair is said by the Sun to be a second
band box that half a gill of black
powder would have blown open. Some
money found on the .floor was not
mutilated any, as it would certainly
have been had it been in the safe' at the
time of tbe explosion. The indications
are that the money was taken out of the
safe previous to the explosion. -When
tbe public understands that it was a
building .and loan association that was
robbed it will lose all interest in tbe
affair, considering it a bit of poetic jus
tice and letting it go at that.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Fiom our regular correspondent.
"Washington, Nov. 37, 1894.
The democratic senators who have ar
rived in Washington are disposed to ac
cept philosophically the fact that tbe
republican senators are masters of the
situation and that no more tinkering of
the tariff will be allowed. Even as rad
ical a free trader as Mills of Texas, who
prefaced his vote for the Gorman-Brice
tariff bill with tbe statement that' he
would follow it up with an attempt to
further extend the free list, now con
fesses that be has little hope of seeing
any of the Dopgun tariff .bills passed.
It is noteworthy that the most sensa
tional stories concerning the alleged
danger of war with England, on account
of the diplomatic complications arising
out of the changed attitude of England
towards Nicaragua, emanated from
sources friendly to the administration.
This is absolutely nothing in the situa
tion so far as known here that cannot
easily be settled by .diplomacy, even of
the bungling sort, -which has heretofore
characterized this administration, but
there is little doubt that tbe administra
tion would gladly welcome a serious dis
greement with England, or any other
country, an anything calculated to arouse
the patriotism of the country would dis
tract public attention from tbe monu
mental failure of tbe domestic policy of
the administration in all its branches.
Mr. Cleveland would much rather that
the Monroe Doctrine be discussed in
congress than some other things.
Mr. Cleveland did not enjoy his
Thanksgiving day dinner, for several
good and sufficient reasons. He has a
bad attack of the gout, and everybody
who has had any experience with a man
suffering with that complaint knows
that it makes tbe most amiable of men
savage. Besides, he has a number of
very troublesome questions to deal with
in his annual message to congress. He
hasn't been to the white house for ten
days.
A lot of defeated democratic congress
men thought they had a nice little snap
to get sums running from $1,500 and up
wards for each man from Uncle Sam's
coffers, without even making a pretense
of earning it. Present indications are
that the snap will have to be abandoned
as unworkable. These men concluded
that they would noc come to Washing
ton to take part in the short session of
congress, but would utilize tbe time in
trying to "catch on" to something out
of which they could live, meanwhile
continuing to draw their salaries as con
gresemen $416,66 a month until the
3rd of next March.- But that was not
enough for them. They actually had
tbe audacity to write to tbe eergeant-at-
arms of the house, directing him to for
ward them ebecks for the mileage which
would have been due them for coming
to Washington and returning to their
homes at the close of the session. Tiiat
demand has probably broken up the
whole scheme, as the sergeant at arms
has very properly refused to pay mileage
.to members who do not come, to Wash
ington, and a movement is on foot to
stop the salary of members who remain
away from Washington, except when
compelled by sickness to do so.
Although tbe members of tbe. admin
istration pretend to be entirely indiffer
ent as to whether democratic senators
and representatives carry out their
threats of making an attack upon Mr
Cleveland in congress, it is known that
Mr. Cleveland has, through third parties,
made overtures to some of the most vig
orous kickers looking towards patching
up a truce, and intimating very plainly
that some of those who have not been
able to even name a fourth class post
master will be allowed to control a cer
tain amount of patronage during the re
mainder of the administration, if they
will refrain from abusing the president
and the administration. Several have
been promised, it is eaid, that they will
personally be taken care of after their
terms expire. But there are some of
the kickers whom it will be difficult, if
not impossible, to muzzle, with offices or
anything else.
The . democratic congressional leaders
might hs well be deaf and dumb so far
as giving any intimation of what they
propose to try to do during the coming
session, for. publication, is. concerned.
Among themselves, .they express tbe
opinion that they will be fortunate if
they can keep a quorum of the house
here without tbe assistance of tbe re
publicans, in order to pass the appropri
ations. There is no occasion for them to
indulge in any fears on that account.
The republicans will gladly assist tbem
in maintaining a quorum to act upon
the' appropriation bills, but not upon
other legislation.
There are rumors of an attempt to kill
the income tax law, either by direct re
peal or by withholding the half-million
dollar appropriation that will be asked
for by Secretary Carlisle to put the law
into effect, but they are probably with
out material foundation. There is likely
to be much talk against the law when
the appropriation- comes up, but there is
no good reason to expect the failure of
the appropriation, and no probability
of repeal. . Cas. .

da::cir3 o pilgrims.
Some of Them That Aro Eocoimtered on
lonrneys to Mooca. "
The risks of a pilgrinJtig'e to Mecca-
may well make tbe most earnest Mus
sulman hesitate to undertake that
pious duty. Of the sixty-six thousand
pilgrims who have sailed from various
Oriental ports for this sacred spot dur
ing the last six years some twenty-two
thousand have never returned, says the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A few. it is
thought, may possibly find their way
back by other routes. Many, it is
feared, are murdered by ganjjs of bad
mashes, who are believed to travel
regnlarly by the Jedda steamers, mark
ing down pilgrims who are possessed
of valuables and attacking1 them when
favorable opportunity occurs.
It is said, however, that by far the
greater number fall by the wayside on
the long tramp from Jedda to Mecca or
Medina. So far as the sea voyage is
concerned the return journey is for ob
vious reasons the more dangerous.
The overland tramp to and from the
sacred cities has the effect of lowering
the vitality of the traveler, and he ar
rives at Jedda in a state which predis
poses him to the attacks of epidemic
diseases, engendered by the overcrowd
ing and unspeakable filth of the pil
grim vessels. -
An Kye on the Main Chance.
A "Virginia judge once visited a plan
tation where the darky who met him
at the gate asked him which barn he
would have his horse put in. "Have
you two barns?" inquired the judge.
"Yes, sah, replied the darky; "dar s
de ele barn, and mas'r has jes' build a
new" one. Where do you usually put
the horses of visitors who come to see
your " master?" ' "Well, sah, if dey's
Metodis s or Baptis s, We gen rally puts
'em in de old barn; but if dey's Pis
copal, we puts 'em in de new one."
"Well, Sam. you can put my horse in
the new barn; I'm a Baptist, but my
horse is an Episcopalian."
Fecundity of Fishes. . '
Only the innumerable accidents to
which fishes' eggs are subject prevent
the overpeopling of all bodies of water
containing fish. A single carp has
yielded 300,000 eggs; a single cod, 9,
000,000; a sole, 100,000; a mackerel,
500,000; a flounder, 1,357,000, and a
pike, 160,000. The eggs' of one stur
geon when counted numbered 1,567,000,
and there is a tradition of a giant
sturgeon from which 119 pounds of roe
were taken. That would indicate
7,650,000 enrrrs.
