BOLD BANK ROBBERY. A HOOSIER BANK TOUCHED FOB SI5.0OO. A Thief Gats In tbe Vault White a Confederate Kujragee the Cashier Mexican BevolationbtK Win Another Victory Accident on the Fort Wayne Road. THE BOLDEST ROBBERY In the History of the Booster State. The boldest robbery in the annals of crime in Indiana was committed at South Bend, the victim being the South Bend National Bank, one of the Msaaiag osuuung concerns 01 wo smss. The amount taken was $I,.!H!. Xo cine to the identity of the robbers has yet come to light 'and they seem to hare made good their escape. The South tfend National Bank is located on North Michigan street, the First National Bank being just north of it, an iron fence joining: them. Shortly after noon the other day. while Cashier Campbell was absent at dinner. Assistant Cashier Kolley. who resides in the rear of the building, was called to his front door bv a man who said he wanted to sen htm on some business. Just about this time a man appeared at the bank building on the north and effected an entrance to the directors' room, pry nsr open the window sash with a steel chisel. He then forced a heavy oak door and was immediately in front of the vault. The outer vault door was open, but a two-inch middle door bad been closed by Cashier Campbell. This yielded readily, the combination having for some reason tailed to work, and before the robber stood the counter tray containing between three and ten thousand dollars. In the safe a pile of 914,000 in go'.A and many thousands in greenbacks va; arranged on shelves. The prime idea seemed to be to take as much as possible of tho money in sight without arousing suspicion so as the robbers could have plenty ot time to make good their escape. For this reason the counter tray, with its loose thousands, was undisturbed, the robber confining his theft to the safe, from which he took M,000 in yellow coin, about all he ould carry, and 11,900 in bills. No silver coin was touched. The vault was then closed and the robber made his escape by means of a hock door before Assistant Kelly had again passed through the building. The money was not missed until sometime after Cashier Campbell returned from dinner, and then information of the theft was suppressed for sometime in the hope that some clue to the robbers might be discovered. Mexican Revolutionists. Deming (X. M.) special: A report was brought in recently that a body ol Mexican troops, consisting of t wo officers and thirty soldiers, mirching overland from the City of Chihuahua to Aaoenawa. were) attteekexi hp -rebels. The Captain was killed and twenty-live soldiers deserted to the rebels. Reports of skirmishes are frequently circulated but the Government makes every effort tosuppre-s information so that the outde world may not realize the extent of the unrest of tho people. The present aim of the rebels is to secure possession of the State of Chihuahua. Organized mobs are inprogress in Chihuahua, Sonora. Slnolia and Guerrero. The revolution undoubtedly is of serious consequence. Saloon Blown Up. The Tennaire frame block at Ossian, Ind., which had been leased by a Bluffton man for a saloon, was blown np by dynamite. The noise of the explosion was deafening and the building was left a total wreck. ' The roof was blown off and the front went oat in the street in splinters. The people of Ossian are opposed to saloons and it is difficult to find out who did the job. Help for Destitutes in Michigan. Gov. Rich of Michigan, says that it was not imnrobable that a special session of the legislature would be called to consider the matter of relief for the Upper Peninsula miners. It i.i estimated that l.i0,fl00 will he needed to tide them over until May J. He is preparing to go and make personal investigation, and wilt decide about a special session on his return. An AnceMent on the Fort Wayne Koail. At Helena, Ohio, a small station on the Pennsylvania Railroad, a sleigh containing seven people was struck 'by a freight train. The occupants jumne'd and escaped serious injury except Mrs. W. H. K. Gossard, who remained in the sleigh until it was overturned and received iLjdries that will probably prove fatal. Many Lives Lost by Storm in Japan. According to Oriental newspapers a heavy gale in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, did great damage to lives and property. On one steam vessel twenty-nine persons were lost. A Steamer Abandoned. The big steamer, V. W. Wheeler, ashore three miles east of Michigan City, Ind.. haS been abandoned as a total wreck and the wrecking expedition was sent back to Chicago. Next spring an effort will be made to recover her machinery, but that isall which will be worth saving. He Had a Roll. At Indianapolis, Joseph Heitch, & Hebrew, died recently, and frM.OUO in gold was found concealed in his house. Sues Her Father for Damages. An an neurit case hit been placed on trla at Warren. Obla Elizabeth Kibbee. ot Bristol, sues William Noble, her father, for (1,000 darnnces for having, as she alleles, maltreated ber and turned her from his house. The defendant claims tho plaintiff's conduct was such as to warrant him in moderately rhastlslnz ber, anil some sensational testimony touching upoi that point ha been introduced. Bis; Express Contract. John J. Valentine, president of the WelleFargo Express Ccmpanjr, lias secured n contract with the Southern Pacific fir using their lines in California for & term of twenty-one years, paying therefor 81. 700,000 and 40 per cent cf the gross earning; of the express company.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.

The President Submits His Annual Address. REYIEW OF AFFAIRS. uAuiAii rr Dtrrcic attcw TION LATER. Our Relations with Foreign rowers Finance, of the Government Work of the Several Departments Advises Delay in Dealing with the Currency Subject Passage of the Wilson Tariff Measure Is Recommended Course of the Pension Bureau Approved, Etc. President Cleveland's message to the Fifty-third Congress in regular session was delivered to that body without delay on its assemblage at Washington. The organization of both branches having been effected at the late special session, there was nothing to interfere with the regular ordor of business. The message is of unusual length, exceeding in this respect Mr. Cleveland's famous address of 1885. A considerable part of the document Is devoted to the Wilson tariff bill, silver purchase repeal, and the subject of pensions. Hawaiian matters are but briefly touched upon, the President indicating that he will submit a special message on this complication later. The message reads as follows: To tbe Congress of tbe United States: The constitutional duty which reqnlres the President from time to time to give to the Congress icformation of the state of tbe Union, and recommend to their consideration suoh measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient, is fittingly entered upon by commendlnir to the Congress a careful examination of tbe detailed statements and well supported recom mendations contained in the reports of tbe heads of departments, who are ,!L .2ff!" this communication aa much as ia convenient wit h its purpose I shall supplement a brief reference to the contents of these departmental reports by the mention of -uch executive business and incidents aa are not embraced therein, and by suoh recommendations as appear to be at this particular time appropriate. While our foreign relations have not at all times during the past year been entirely free from perplexity, no embarrassing situations remain that will not yield to the spirit of fairness and love of justice, which. Joined with consistent firmness, characterize a truly American foreign policy. My predecessor having accepted the office of arbitrator of the longstanding missions boundary dispute, tendered to the President by the Argentine Republic and Brazil, it has been my agreeable duty to receive the special envoys commissioned by those states to lay befor me evidence and arguments in behalf of their respective governments. Relations with Brazil. The outbreak ot domestic hostilities in the Republic of Brazil found the United States alert to watch the interests of our citizens in that country, with which we carry on important commerce. Several vessels of our new navy are now, and for some time have been, stationed at Bio de Janeiro. The struggle being between the established Government, which controls the machinery of administration, and with which we maintain friendly relations, and certain officers of the navy employing the vessels of their command in an attack upon the national capital and chief seaport, I nave failed to see that the insurgents can reasonably claim recognition as belligerents. Thus far the position ot out Government has been that of an attentive but impartial observer ot the unfortunate conflict. Emphasizing our fixed policy of imDartial ne utrality in such a condition of affairs as now exists, 1 deemed It necessary to disavow, in a manner not to be misunderstood, the unauthorized action of the late naval commander in those waters in saluting the revolted Brazilian Admiral, being indisposed to countenance an act calculated to give gratuitous sanction to the local insurrection. Chilian Compllcatious. The conventi on between our Government ana umn, naving xor its object the settlement and adjustment of the demands of the two countries against each other, has been made ) effective by t .e organization of the Claims Commission provided for. The two governments falling to agree upon the third member of the commission, the good offices of the President of the Swiss repnbllo were invoked, aa provided In tbe treaty, and the selection of the Swiss representative In this country to complete the organization was gratifying alike to the United States and Chill. The vexations question of so-called legation asylum for offenders against the state and its laws was presented anew In Chill by the unauthorized action of the late United States Minister in rcoeivlng into his residence two persons who had Just failed in an attempt at revolution and against whom criminal charges were pending, growing out of a former abortive disturbance . A temperate demand havtnr been made by the Chilian Government for the correction of this conduct in the instance mentioned, the minister was Instructed no longer to harbor the offenders, Registration of Chinese. The legislation of last year, known as the Geary law, requiring the registration of all Chinese laborers entitled to residence in the United States, and the deportation of all not complying with the provisions of the act within the time prescribed, met with much opposition from Chin. men in this country. Acting upon the advlco of eminent counsel that the law was unconstitutional, the great mass of Chinese laborers, pending judical Inquiry as to its validity. In good faith declined to apply for the certificates required by its provisions. A test case npor. proceedings by nabeas corpus was brought before tbe Supreme Court, and on May ir. 1SVJ. a decision was made by that tribunal sustaining the law. It is believed that, under the recent amendment to the act extending the time for registration, the Chinese laborers thereto entitled who desire to reside in this country will now avail themselves f the renewed privilege thus afforded of establishing by lawful procedure their right to remain, and that thereby the necessity or enforcing deportation may to a great degree be avoided. It has devolved upon the United States Minister at Peking, as dean of the diplomatic body, and in the absence of a representative of Sweden and Xor way, to press upon the Chinese uovernment reparation for the recent murder of Swedish missionaries at Sung-Pu. This question is of vital interest to all countries whose citizens engage in missionary work In the interior. Costa Rlea's Friendliness. Costa Rica has lately testified its friendliness by surrendering to the United States, in the absence of a convention ot extradition, but upon duly submitted evidence of criminality, a noted fugitive from justice. It Is trusted that the negotiation of a treaty with that country to meet recurring cases of this kind will soon be accomplished. In my opinion treaties for reciprocal extradition should be concluded with all those countries with which the United States has not already conventional arrangements of that character. I have deemed it fitting to express to the governments of Costa Kica and Colombia the kindly desire of the United States to see their pending boundary dispute finally closed by arbitration In conformity with the spirit of the treaty concluded between them some years ago. Our relations with the French Republic continue to be intimate and cordial. I sincerely hope that the extradition treaty with that country, as amended by the Senate, will soon be operative. While occasionitl questions affecting our naturalized citizens returning to tbe land of their birth, have arisen in our intercourse with Germany, our relations with that conntry continue satisfactory. Relations with Great Britain. The questions affecting our relations with Great Britain have been treated In a spirit of friendliness. Negotiations are in progress between the two Governments with a view to such concurrent action as will make the award and regulations agreed upon by the Behrlng Sea tribunal ot arbitration practically effective; and it is not doubted that Great Itrltaln will co-operate freely with this country for the accomplishment of that pnrpose. Toe dispute growing out of the discriminating tolls imposed In the Welland Canal upon oargocs of cereals bound t and from the lake ports of the United States was adjusted by the substitution of a more equltahlo sobedule of charges, and my predecessor thereupon suspended bis proclamation imposing descrlmtnatlng tolls upon British transit through our canals. A request for additions to the list of extraditable offenses covered by the existing treaty between the two countries Is under consideration. During the past year an American citizen, employed in a subordinate commercial position tn Ilaytl, after suffering a protracted imprisonment on an unfounded chargo ot smuggling, was finally liberated on judicial examination. Upon urgent representation to the liaytian Government, a suitable Indemnity was paid to the sufferer. Upon receiving authentic Information of the tiring upon an American mall steamer touching at the port of Amapala, because her captin refused to deliver up a passenger from Nicaragua to Guatemala, uion demand of tho military authorities of Honduras, our Minister to that country under Instructions protested against the wanton act and demanded satisfaction. The government of Honduras, actuated by a sense of justice, and in a spirit of the utmost friendship, promptly disavowed the illegal conduct of Its officers and expressed sincere regret tor the occurrence. Interest In Liberia. A notable part ot tbe southeasterly coast of Liberia between tbe Cavally and San Pedro Rivers, which for nearly half a century has been generally recognized as belonging to that republic by cession end pnrobaae, has been claimed to be under the protectorate of

Franoe In virtue ol an agreement entered into by tho native tribes over whom Liberia's control has not been well maintained. More recently negotiations between tho I, Iberian representative and the Prenoh Government- resulted in the signature at Pari of a treaty whereby as an adjust ment certain Siberian territory Is ceded to Franoe. This convention at last advices had nut been ratiflod by the Llberlan Legislature and executive. Our relations with Mexico continue to be of that cl080 and friendly nature which should always characterize the intercourse of two neighboring republics. The work of relocating the monuments marking the boundary between the countries from l'aso del Norte to the Pacltlc is now nearly completed. The commission recently organized under the conventions of Itisi and 1.11. it Is expected, will speedily settle disputes growing out of the shifting currents of the Hlo Orundo ltiver east of 1.1 Paso. Nicaragua and the rnniil.

Early in the life of this triple protectorate, the nativo distentions it wan. designed to qncll revived. Quite lately, at the request of the other powei s, and in fulfillment of iu treaty obligaticn, this Government agreed to unite in a joint military movement of such dimensions as would probably secure tho surrender of the insurgents without bloodshed. The warship Philadelphia was accordingly put nnla nw1aN nv iat-nna tmfnA oh. ... 'h1i,ar. of men Wiled. The British and (ierrnan naval vessels present snbsertnentlv secured the snr render of Mataafa and his adherents. This lnoident and the events leading np to it signally illnstrate tbo impolicy of entangling alliances with foreign powers. Claims Against Spain. Vore than fifteen rears ago this Government preferred a olaim against Spain in behalf ot one of our citizens for property seized and confiscated in ( una. In l&sft the claim was adjusted, Spain agreeing tj pay unconditionally as a fair indemnity Sl.MO.ixm. A respectful bnt earnest note was recently addressed to the Spanish (iovenimeir. insisting upon a prompt fulfillment ot its long neglected obligation. Other claims, pieferred by the I'nlted States against Spain In behalf of American citizens for property confiscated tn Cuba, have been pending for many years. At the time Spam's title to the Caroline Islands was confirmed by arbitration, that Government agreed that the rights which had been aeonired theie by American missionaries should be recognized and respected. The reproduced caravel, Santa Maria, built by Spain and sent to the Columbian Exposition, has been presented to the United btates in token of amity and In commemoration of the event It was designed to celebrate. I recommend that, in accepting this gift. Congress make grateful recognition of the sincere friendship which prompted itAmerican Missions in Turkey. Important matters have demanded attention In our relations with the Ottoman Porte, The firing and partial destruction, by an unrestrained mob, of one of the school buildings of Anatolia College, est ablished by cit izens of t he I'nitod States at Marsovan, and the apparent indifference of the Turkish Government to the outrage, notwithstanding the complicity of some of its officials, called for earnest remonstrance, which was followed by promises of reparation and punishment of the offendcre. Indemnity for the injurvw the building has already been paid, permission to rebuild given, registration of the school property in the name of the American owners secured, and efficient protection guaranteed. Hawaiian Mltnatlott. It Is hardly necessary for me to state that questions arising from our relations with Hawaii have cansed serious embarrassment. Justprlorto the installation of the present administration the existing government of Hawaii naci oeeu suuaeniy overthrown anil treaty of annexation had ueeu negotiated between the Provisional Government ot the Islands and the I ultetl States and submitted to the Senate for ratification. This treaty I withdrew for examination, and dispatched the Hon. James H. lllount, of Georgia, to Honolulu, as a special commissioner to make an lmpartlul investigation of the circumstances attending the ohange of government, and ot all the conditions bearing upon the subject of the treat v. After a thorough and exhaustive examination Mr. Blount submitted to me his report showing beyond all question that the Constitutional Govemmout of Hawaii bad beeu subverted with tbe active aid of our representative to that Government, and through the intimidation cansed by t he presence of an armed naval force of the United States, which was landed for that purpose at the instance ot our Minister. Upon the facta developed it seemed to me the only honorable course tor our Govern ment to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us. jiau ueea uone oy muso repreeeniniK . and to rentore, a far as practicable, the! atatns existing at tue tuna or our forcible intervcntlou. With a view of accomplishing this result within the constitutional limit oi oniigations ana responsibilities gr -wing ont of any changed conditions brought about by our unjustifiable interference, our present Minister at Honolulu has received appropriate instructions to that end. Thus far no information of the accomplishment of any definite results has been received from him. Additional advice-t are soon expected. When received they will be promptly sent to the Congress, together with all other information at hand, accom5anied by a special executive message fully let ailing all the facts necessary to a complete understanding of the ease, and presenting a history of all th: material events leading up to the present ituation.

"April ts is:m, i the International American Conft.rence of Washington. by & resolution, expressed the wltdi that all controversies j between the republics of America imd the nations of Europe might be settled by arbitra- I tion, and recommended that the government of each nation represented in that conference tshonld communicate thin wish to all friendly i powers. A favorable response has been received from Great Itrltaln Id the shape of a 1 resolution adopted by i'arlt anient July n last, ! cordially sympathizing wiib the purpose in I view, ( Thenionetarv conference which assembled ' at Brussels, upon our invitation, was adjourned to the yoth t.ny of November lu tho present year. The considerations just stated, aurl the fact that a definite proposition from us setmied to be expected upu the rc assembling of the conference, led me to express a willingness to have tbe meeting still further postponed It seems to me that it would be wise to give general authorit y to tho President to invite other nations to fcuch a conference at any time when there (should be m fair prospect of accomplishing an international agreement on tiie subject of coinage. I desire also to earnestly suggest the wisdom of amending existing statutes iu regard to the issuance of Government bond. The authority now vested in the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds is not as clear as it should be, and the bonds authorized are disadvantageous to the Government, both auto the time of their maturity aud rate of interest. National Ouarnntiop. Tho admonitions of the last two years touch tng our publio health, and the demonstrated danger of the introduction of eoutitgfous diseases from foreign purts has invested the subject of national quarantine with lucrcased interest. A more general and hsnnou ons system than now exists, acting promptly and direetly everywhere, and constantly operating by preventive means to shield our conntry lrom tho Invasion of disease, and nt the same time hnving due regard to the rights and duties of local agencies, would, I bolieve, add greatly to the safety of our people. I'ruee. Within Our Ilordcrs. Neither Indian outbreak uor domestic violence have called the army into service during the year, and ?,he only active military auty quired of It has been In the department of ! Texas, where violations of the neutrality laws ! of tbe Vnltcd States and Mexico were prompt- i ly and effietentlv dealt with bv the troops, ellcttincf the warm nnurnval nf Mm civil and military authorities of both countries. I The adoption of ba tal ion formation for Infantry regiments, the htremrthcniug of the artillery forces, the abandonment of small and unnecessary posts, and the massing of the troops at important and accessible stations, all promise to promote the usefulness of the army. In the judgment of army officers, with but few exceptions, th? operation ot the law forbidding the re-enlistment or men aiter ten years of service has no; proved itn wisdom, and while tho arguments that led to its adoition were not without merit, the experience of the year constrains me to join in tbo recommendation for its repeal. l'urehaie. of Silver.

WJ3. ; Ninety-three other cities and towns are now ; entitled to this service under the law, but ; it has not been accorded them on ac i count of Insufficient funds to meet the expense of its establishment I am decidedly of the opinion that the provisions of the jjresent law permit as general an introduction of this feature of mail service as is ueccssary or justifiable, and that it ought not to be cxtended to smaller communities than are now j designated. The exiiense of free delivery for i tbe liscal year emllng- .rune so, lsi'l, will be more than $ll,ooo,oix, and, under legislation j now existing, there must lie a co-'staiit increase in this item ot expenditure.

Navy Department lmring the past six months the demands for cruising vessels have been many and urgent. Progress in the construction of new vessels luts not been as rapid as was anticipated. There hove been delays in the tornpie tion of nnarmored vessels, but for the most part they have been snch as are constantly occur ring even in countries having the largest experience in naval ehlp-bnild- i ing. The most serious delays, however, have oecn in tne worn upon armoreu snips, me trouble ha lietn the failure of contractors ' to deliver armor as agreed. The difficulties seem now, however, to have been ; all overcome, and armor is be inn Ieliv- ! ered with satisfactory promptness. The iSec-

rated of" building up a thorough und efficient 1 tered.. These gifts should be the willing benenavy, I can not refrain from the suggestion factions of a Government whose highest fune-

that the Congress should carefully take Into account the number of unfinished vessels on our hands and the depleted condition ot our Treasury in considering the propriety of an appropriation at thl time to leu in new work. On tho PouhIou ItoU. On tbe 3'th day of June, there were on tho pension roll.? !0ti,0l2 names, an in crease of su,UG over the number on tho J rolls Juno 3", ISO'. Of these there were 17 widows and daughters of revolutionary soldier-, Burvivors of the war of lsia. ! .,-tj. winows oi soiaiers oi tnat war, -u..! survivors and widows of the Mexican war, widows of soldiers of that war, 2i.:i n.KHi survivors and wiJows of Indian wars. 2-4 army nurses, and ilMT survivors and widows and children of deceased soldiers and sailors of the war of the rebellion. The latter number represents those pensioned on account of disabilities or death resulting from army and navy service. The number of persons remaining on the rolls June 30, isy:i, who were pensioned under the act of June 27. 1-.k, which allows pensions ott account of death and disability not chargeable tu any service, was 4 ii.l.v.. The number added to the rolls during the year was iW.ft.i and the number dropped was 'A ;,ti;H. The first payments on pensions allowed during the year amounted to tXf, ;.''.. r4.v.H. This includes arrears or the accumulation between the time from which the allowance of the pension dates and the time of actually irrantiiig ti e certificate. Alt hough the law of i- permits pensions for disabilities not related to military service, yet, as a requisite to its benefits, a disability must exist incapacitating applicants "from the performance of manual labor to such a degree as to render them una )e to earn a support." The execution of this law in tt$ early stages does not eem to have been in accord with its true intention; bin toward the. close ot the last administ ration an authoritative construction was given to the statute, and since that time this construction has beeu followed, '.'.'bis has had the effect of limiting the operatiors of the law to its intended purisise. Tbe discovery having been made that many names have been put upon the pension roll by means of wholesale nn I irigantic frauds, the Commissioner suspended payments upon a number of pensious which seemed to be fraudulent or unauthorized pending a complete examination, giving notice to thfi pensioners iu order that they might have an opportuuitv to establish, if possible, the justice of their claims, notwithstanding ap.Mireut invalidity. This. I understand. I the practice which has for a lontz time prevailed in the Tension Hu-ff-an. lint lifter entering upon these recent Investigations, the 1 1 ommlsslouei -modified this rule su as not to allow, until after complete e.minanon, lmeriercncc witn me payment f a tension apparently not altogether void, but which merely had been fixed at a rate hi 'her than that authorized bv law. am unable to understand why frauds In the pension rolls slmnldnot be exjH'.sd and corrected with thoroughness and vigor, livery nam fraudulently put upon these rolls is a wicked Imposition upon tin kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin. Kvery fraduleut pensioner has become a bad citi sen: every false onth in support of a pennim has made perjury more common, ami false and undeserving pensioners rob tho people not only of their money, but of the patriotic sentiment which the survivors of a war, fought for the- preservation of tho Vniun, oiu'ht to inspire. Thousands nf neitrh-t.-nrhoods have their well-known fraudulent pensioners, and recent developments by the bureau establish appall inn conspiracies to a eompii-h pension frauds. By no means tbo leust wrong dono is to brave ami deserving pensioners . who certainly outht not to be couficninea 10 ucn. association, jnose who attempt, ia the line or duty, to rctty theae -wrongs, should not be aoeused of enmity or j

There is danger of great abuses creeping into the prosecution of claims for ludiau depredations, and 1 recommnid that every possible Kafeguard be provided against the enforcement of unjust and fictitious claims of this description. Department of Agriculture. The report of the Secretary f Agriculture will be found exceedingly intcreHting. During the first quarter of the pre.-cnt year the expetiHes of the department augretfaunl ? ;.. Vf. a against $loj,iiii,tj tor the corresponding period of the flsral year ending June ;:', iv-':s. The Secretary makes apparent his intention tu continue this rate of reauctlon by submitting estimates for (he next ilecal year le;-s by i'.r..4,.fS;i than those for the present year. The regulat ions of istficouceruing Texas fever have been enforced during the last year. While contagions plenro-pueumonia lu cuttle has been eradicated and animal tuberculosis --a disease widespread and mow dangerous to human life than id uro-pnen-moula is still prevalent, iuve-ttgatioiiH have been made during the past year as tn the mean of its communication end the mithod of its correct diauuosis. Much progress has been made in this direction by the studies of the division of animal pathology, but the work ought to be extended iu co-operation with local authorities, until the danger to human life arising from this cause is reduced to a minimum. I join the Secretary in recommending that hereafter each applicant for the position of Inspector or Assistant lnpectorin the Bureau of Ani mid Industry be required, us a condition urecedent to his appointment, to exhibit to the United States Civil Service Commission his dinloma from an established, regular and '" ; renu table veterinary collece. and that this be supplemented by such an examination in vetaj j erinary science as the commission may prei division of the Department or Agriculture has grown to its present unwieldy and unjustifiably extravagant proportions. During the last fiscal year the cost of seeds purchased wus &t'.5i.t;i. The remainder of an appropriation of Sias,') was expended In putting them np and distributing them. It surely never could have entered the minds of those who first sanctioned appropriations of public money for the purchase of new and improved varieties of seeds for gratuitous distribution that from this would grow large appropriations for the purchase and distribution, by members of Congress, of oidiuary Beeds, Milbs, and cuttings which are common in all the StateB and Territories, and everywhere easily obtainable at low i.rice. In view nf these facts this ; honestly and promptly accomplished by the Commission, with the hearty cooperation of the Postmaster General, is an immensely important advance in the usefulness of the system. I am, if possible, more than ever convinced of the incalculable benefits conferred by the civil service law, not only in its effect upon the public service but also, what is more important, in Its effect in elevating the tone of political life generally. Time to Cut Appropriation. Economy in public expenditure Is a duty that cannot lie innocently neglected by those Intrusted with the control of money drawn from the people for publio uses. It must be confessed that our apjiareutly endIces resources, the familiarity of our people with immense accumulations of wealth, tho growing sentiment among them that the expenditure of public money should In some mauner be to their immediate and ix-rsonai advantage, the indirect aud almost stealthy manner iu which a large part of our taxes is exacted, and a degenerated sense of official accountability, have led to growing extravagance in governmental appropriai tlons. At this time when a depleted publl u. vl, ! I'Ple ar.e DT '2 f ha,rd ".'"i??1 .if" necessaries of life, and when enforced econo my is pressing upon the great n.ass of our countrymen. 1 desire to urge, with all tbe eurnestuess at my command, that ioncreslonal legislation be so limited by such strict economy as to exhibit an appreciation of the condition of the treasury and a sympathy with the straitened circumstances of our fellow-citizens. The duty of public economy is also of immense importance in its intimate and necessary relation to the task now iu hand, of providing revenue to meet governmental expenditures aud yet reducing the people's burden of Federal taxation. The- Promise of Tariff Itcforin. After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly hetore us. Nothing so important claims our attention, and nothing ho clearly presents itself as both an opportunity and a duty an opportunity to deserve the gratitude of our fellow-citizens, and a duty imposed upon us by our oft-repeated professions snu dv me empnatio manual o or uie people, ut f 'f u dis0Ussi0X! our countrymen have oke in favor of this reform, umi they hm coutlded the work of itsaccompMshment 'to the HM"l of t"8e who are solemnly pledged to lt, !f there is anything in the t eory of a representation in puouc places or me people tneir aebirt.( jf public officers are reallv the servants of the people, aud if polit j DTOmi8es and professions have any bind ing iorce, our failure to give the relief so lout; awa.ted will bs sheer rtcresncy. N thing eriouiti imerveue 10 uisiriwcr our attention or disturb our effort until thi: reform is accomplished by wise and careful legislation. While we should utanchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of revenue Juntihes the imposition ot tariff duties and other Federal taxation, and that they should be limited by strict economy, we can not close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown which, injustness and fairness, call for dls eriniiuatinir care in tbe discrimination of nuch duties and taxation as the emegencies of our Government actually demand. Manifestly, if we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of its niObt obvious features should be a reduction in present tariif charges upon the necessaries of life. The benefits of such a reiieonle. Not less closely related to our people's prosperity and well-being is the removal of restrfctious upon the impoitations of thtr raw materials necessary to our manufacturersThe world should be open to onr national ingenuity and enterprise. This cau not be white Kedeial legislation, through the imposition of high tariff, forbids to American manufacturers as eh?ap mat erials as thoe used by their competitors. It is quite obvious that the enfinii.iiinr. nf tliA iii-i itf nil'- niiiiinfui-tlirf.l , " ,:v ' v , : ; pro.iuots, resulting from this yoiioy, not only - " V"V01-. iwwn--7 within our own borders, to the direct disadvantage of our manufacturers, hut also increases their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly, involved in this feature of our iurift system. The sharp compeiititin and active struggle among our mui nfacturers to supply the limited demand for their goods, soon till the narrow market to which they are confined. Then follows a suspension of work lu the mills and factories, a discharge of employes, and distress in the homes of our workiugmen. Kvenit the otteu disproved assertion could be made trood that a lower rate of wages would result lrom free raw materials aud low tariff duties, the intelligence of onr workingmeu leads them quickly to discover that their : fady employment, permitted by tree raw materials, is the most important factor iu their relation to tarin' legislation. A measure has been prepared by the appropriate t'ongressjoual committee embo lying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested which will be promptly submitted for legislative action, it is the rt'Hult of much patriotic and uncltish work, and I believe it deals with its subject consistently and as thoroughly as existing conditions permit. I am satisfied that the reduced tarilY duties provided for iu the proposed legislation, added to the existing internal revenue taaliitti. will, in the near future, though perhaps not immediately, produce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the Government. Additional Intermit It1 venue Ttixen. The committee after full consideration, and to provide against n temporary detloieiicy whl h may exist before the business of the country adjusts itself to the new tariff schedules, have wisely embraced iu their plan a few additional internal revenue t xes, including a small tax umt incomes derived from certain corporate investments. These new assessment are not only absolutely iut and easily borne but they have the further merit of helm? such as can be remitted without unfavorable business disturbance whenever the necessity of the imirosition no longer exists, lu my great-desire tor the success of this measure 1 cau not restrain th suggestion that its success can only be atttiinrd by moans of unselfish counsel on the part of the friends of tariff reform, ami as a resuit of their witiiugness to subordinate personal dcslr.'s and ambitions to the general good. The local interests affected by the pioposed reform are so numerous and so varied that if allure insisted upon the legislation embody tng the reform must inevitably fait, In conclusion, my int ense feel ng nf responsibility impels me to invoke for the manifold interests of a generous aud confiding people the most scrupulous cure. :uid to pledge my willing support to every legislative effort for the Advancement of the greatness aud prosperity of our beloved coui.trv. li hover Cleveland.

StomachLiver Cure The Most Astordshing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the jjroprietors and munufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of tho general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause, It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, aud by its g""t curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowe!.8. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengtheuerof the life forces of the human body, ard as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Touie, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This groat strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to tho aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life.

As a euro for every class of Nervous 'Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very -pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon tho youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human

family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired dices

lion. When there is an insufficient

general state of debility of the brain, spins 1 marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved musclts, become strong when the

right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. Aa the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of tho kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its -universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
