, HE PRESIDENT'S MESSAUB
Tlie president's message it lengthy. It
deals first with the liehring sea troubles, end
ing uji with the statement that an agreement
lias been arrived at between the United States
and Great Uritain by l.ichthe whole nutter
i to be arbitrated, and that nothing remains
JfQ be done but to select the arbitrators.
Attention is called to the boundaijf dispute
between Great I3iitainand Venezuela touch
in the western frontier of British Guiana.
Hesays the eflbrtsof the United States to
nssist in a friendly way to settle the dispute
bas been unsuccessful and says our govern
ment wsll always view with concern any
encroachment on territories or the western
conrinent, but thote who read the message
willobseive that the president, in speaking of
differences with Great Britain has much less of
the spirit of bravado than w hen speaking of
-Chili. The president tells us that it is grati
fying to be allowed to say that Germany,
Denmaik. Italy, Austria and France have
opened their ports to out inspected pork.
will be remembered that republicans all over
the country have been espatiating elaborately
upon the beauties of reciprocity in thus open
ing these foreign markets to American pork,
but the president himself upsets tins very
beautiful theory by saying: "The removal ol
these restrictions in every instance was asked
for and given solely upon the ground that we
liad now provided - a meat inspection that
should be accepted as adrquate to the complete
removal of dangers real or fancied which had
been previously urged." So from the presi
dents own words it appears there was no
-reciprocity in it. The president thinks that
in case like the killing of the Italians in New
Osleans it would be competent for congress to
give the federal courts jurisdiction of such
crimes. Verv few men will agree with him
He talks right to the point about the cruel
treatment meted out to American seamen at
Valparaiso by the Chilians. Every patriotic
man will endorse the president's words.
Attention is called to the prosecution of the
Jews in Russia and the friendly interposition
of our government to prevent it. Speaking of
the McKinley tariff law the president lays:
Rerely, if ever before in the history of the
countrv, has there been a lime
when the proceeds of one day's labor or the
product of one farm crop could purchase such a
large amount of things that enter into the
living of the masses of the people, I believe
tl.at a full test will develop the fact that the
tariff act of the Fifty first congress is very
favorable in its average effee' upon the prices
of articles flowing into common use.
Jt would have been impossible for the
president to have made a more absurd state
ment. 'I o attribute the good prices of wheat
corn and other farm products to the passage of
the McKinley bill is trifling w ith the good
sense of men merely of ordinary intelligence.
These prices come as the result of short crops
in Europe, and the president gains no credit
in this bungling attempt to mislead the people.
They cannot be deceived in that way. He
opposes die free coinage of silver and stands
by the present law. The message is very
lengthy and will on many pniiv.s provoke the
strongesi kind of criticism, especially that
part of the message whirh treats of the new
method of appointing presidential electors in
Michigan. We shall have occasion to say
something of that part oi the message at
another time.
ve been heard In nil parts ot tne gauer-
es, and even upon the floor of the House.
Never before were there so many new
faces In a single congress, an J in conse
quence there has been an umitual run on
the first edition of the Congressional Di
rectory. Everybody wunts to find out
something ubout the unknown men. The
occupations of the representatives, as
given in the Directory, hi- thut the law
yers are still In the majority, there being
313 who are owner 1 of legal "slieepkkin,'
farmers came with 65, school teachers 4:
merchants 34, manufacturers 20, banker
and capitalists ly, journalists 10, prlnteis
9, physicians j, sailors 3, clergymen 2
miner, 1 machinist, 1 blacksmith, 1 book
binder, 1 carpenter, I tanner, 1 car fini-her
and 1 harness makei The total of occu
patlons given is greater than the member
ship, but that is because some of the mem-
beis have followed more than one occu
pation. 9 of the members were born In
Ireland, 3 in Germany, 3 In Onada, 3 In
Norway, 1 In Sweden, 1 in Greece, I
Eneland. and 1 in Scotland. It would be
difficult to get a more leprescntative body
together.
The fellow who thinks he knows what
the House is going to do, is as numerous
as usual, but the man who really knows
what the House will do does not exist. It
will take some little time for the members
to confer and arrive at some concl usion.
Nothing wilt be done hastily, and nothing
will be dene before it has been appioved
with practical unanimity by the demo
cratic members. Every member with
whom your correspondent has talked ap
pears to fully realize that upon the action
or nonaction of the House m?y depend
the election of a democratic president next
year.
The senate also has an inllux of new
members, there being 15 of them, includ
ing the three alliance senators, Irby,Peffer
and Kyle, the first of whom will vote with
the democrats, thesecund with the repub
licans, and the last as he happens to feel
at the time, upon all political questions.
Mr Harrison announced today that, as
the House would take considerable time to
organize, he would not send in his message
until tomorrow. There is reason for be
lieving that the change of program vas
made not because of the organization of
the House, but because of a change which
Mr Harrison was persuaded by Mr Blaine
to make in that portion of his message re
lating to foreign affairs.
The deadlock in the democratic caucus
from Saturday until today, ave many of
the new members an entirely new view of
congressional politics.

WASHINGTON.
(Prom our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 7, 1S91.
The speaker of the House, as he was
escorted to the speaker's chair after having
been elected by the unanimous vote of the
democialic representatives today, was
greeted by salvo after salvo nf applause
"from the floor anJ from the galleries, and
from the earnest manner in which he v.is
applauded by every democrat in the
chamber, it was apparent that the long
and hotly contested fight in the caucup
the longest for many years had left no
bad blood among the friends of trie, de
bated candidates. Another noticeable
and commendable thing is that the friends
of the victorious candidate have shown no
disposition to crow over the friends of
these who were defeated. The democrats
of the House are today a united and com
pact body, and there is every prospect of
their remainining such, notwithstanding
the herculean efforts of the republicans to
create discord, and falling In tint, to
Create the public impression that there is
JUcord.
The speaker desk was literally covci
ed with flowers, sent by admiring friends,
a few minutes after he took his seat. The
first business after the election of the
speaker was the election of the other
Honte officers. The retiring republican
officials were all given the complimentary
nomination of their party, although it is
known that Rome of the republicans ere
opposed to so honoring M Reed.
Never was the circus, which is always a
part of the drawing by lottery for seals in
the House on the first day of a new con
gress, more enjoyed by the members and
spectators than it was today, and the ring
leaders in the fun were mostly the men
whDse nerves had been racked to their ut
most tension during the long uncertain
period of the speakership conte?-t in the
caucus. The gayety t.f the nieniuers to
day was therefore but the natural reaction
of nature. The spectator in the j.al!erie
also took p.irt in the sport. When the
members were all huddled up in il
