What it said about a "black eye" to tariff reform was applied to David B. Ilill, who supported Crisp.

THE MESSAGE.

(CONTINUED I'HOM PIHST l»AOE,)

was happily free from tnoLlents 01 Violence. It was source of gn*ut regret that I was not uhle to open at tho same time the surplus lands of tho Oheyenno and Arapahoe reservation, amounting to about 3,000,000 acres, bv reason of the insufficiency of the appropriation for making the allotments. Deserving and impatient settlors are waiting to occupy these lands and I urgently recommend that a special deficiency appropriation be promptly made of the small amount noe^d. 60 that the allotments maybe completed and the surplus lands opened in time to permit tho nettlcr* to get upon their homesteads In tho early spring.

Penftion*.

The administration of the pension bureau has beeu characterized during the year by great diligence. The total number of pensioners upon the roll on the 80th day of June, 1891, wo There were ollowed duriug tho tlscal year ending at that time. SVO.M.i cases. Of this number, 108,387 were allowed under the law of Juno 37, 1890. The isulng of e«rtiilcrtt»*s hn* been proceeding at the rate of about 30.000 per month, about 7 per cent, of these being cases under the new l»w. The commissioner expresses the opinion that he will he able to carefully adjudicate and allow .rA0 claims during tho present rtscal year. The appropriation for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year was tlttf.ASft.7Wt.SP and the amount expended leaving un unexpended surplus of f9.l5ft.l-M.01. The commissioner Is quite confident that there will be no call this year for a deficiency appropiatU-n, notwithstanding the rapidity with which the work i* boing pushed.

Subsidized Hallway*.

The report of the commissioner of railroads shows that tho total debt of tho subsidized railroads io tho United States was, on Decern* ber 81. 1SW, 111^.513,618.06. A large part or this debt is now approaching maturity with no adequate provision for its payment. Some policy for dealitiK with this debt, with a view to its ultimate collection, should be at om*e adopted.

Tho Territories*

The report of the secretary exhibits, with interesting fullness, the condition of the territories. They have shared with the states the

fng

reat increase in farm products and are brUig yearly large aroas into cultivation by extending their irrigating canals. This work is being dc..e by individuals or local corporations and without that systom which a full prelim Inary survey of the water supply and of the Ir rigable lands would enable them to adopt. The future of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah in their material growth and in the Increase, independence and happiness of their people Is very largely dependent upon wise and timely legislation, either by congress or their own legislatures, regulating tho distribution of th® water supply furnished by their streams. If this matter much longer neg» lectcd. private corporations will have unrestricted control of one of the elements of life aud the patentees of the and lands will be tenants at will of the water companies. The improvident granting of franchises of enormous value without recompense to the state or municipality from which they proceed and without proper protection of tlje public interests

the most noticeable and flagrant evil of modern legislation. This fault should not be committed In dealing with a subject that will before many years affect so vitally thousands of our people.

Suppression of Polygmiij*.

The legislation of congress for the repression of polygamy has, after years ot resistance on the part of the Mormons, at last brought them to the conclusion that resistance is unprofitable and unavailing. The power of congress over this subject should not be surrendered until we have satisfactory evidence that the people of the states to be created would exercise the exclusive power of the state over this subject in the same way.

Government for Alaska.

I recommend that provision be made for the organization of a simple form of town government in Alaska witn power to regulate such matters as are usually in the states under municipal control.

The Agricultural Department. If the establishment of the department of agriculture was regarded by anyone as a mere concession to the unenlightened demand of a worthy class of people, that impression has been most effectually removed by the great results already attained. Its home influence has been very great in disseminating agricultural and liorticultu.nl information: in stimulating and directing a further diversification of crops in detecting and eradicating diseases of domestic animals: and more than all. In the close and informal contact which it has established and maintained with the farmers and stock raisers of the whole country. Every request for information has had prompt attention and every subject merited consideration. Tho sci entitle corp» of the department is of a high order and is pushing its Investigations with method and enthusiasm.

Meat Inspection.

The Inspection by this department of cattle and pork products intended for shipment abroad has been the basis of the success which has attended our efforts to secure the removal of the restrictions maintained by the European governments. Kor ten years protests and petitions upon this subject from the packers and stock-raisers of the United States have been directed against these restrictions, which so seriously limited our markets and curtailed the profits of the farm. It is a source of genrral congratulation that success has at last been attained, for the effect of an enlarged foreign market for these meats will be felt, not only by the farmer, but in our public finances and in every branch of trade.

Our Great Grain Crop.

The gralu crop of this year was the largest in our history.

per cent, greater than that of

last year, and yet the new markets (hat have been opened and the large demand resulting from short crops in Europe have sustained prices to such an extent that the enormous surplus of meats and breadstuffs will bo marketed at good prices, bringing relief and prosperity to an industry that was much depressed. The value of the grain crop of the United States is estimated bv the secretary to be this year

ftOO,000,000

AVniint

more than last of

meats, flW).0J0,0J0 more, and of all products of the farm $750,000,000 more. It is not inapnroprlate, I think, here to suggest that our satis"&v°.n

,n lhe

uoniumolation

or thig murvclmis

addition to the national wealth is unclouded by any suspicion of the currency by which it is measured and in which the farmer is naid for the product of his fields.

The Civil Service.

The report of the civil service commission Should receive the careful attention of the opponents as well as the friends of this reform The commission Invites a personal inspection of senators and representatives of its records and methods, and every fair critic will feel that such an examination should precede judi/* ment of condemnation either of the system or its administration. It is not claimed that either is perfect., but I believe that tp« law has been executed with impartiality, and that the system Is incomparably better and fairer than that of appointments upon fuvor. I have during tho year extended the clussllicd service to include superintendents. teachers, matrons and physicians In the Indian service. This branch of tho service is largely related to educational and philanthropic work and will obviously be the better for the change. The heads of the several executlre departments hnvo been directed to establish at once an efficient record as tho basis of a comparative rating of the clerks within the classified service with a »lew to placing promotions therein upon the basis of merit.

Safety Appliailces for Rnlltrityii. I have twice before urgently called the attention of ctinBrii'-.s to the necessity of legislation for the protection of tho lives of railroad employe*. but nothing has yet been done.

dintrleU. A minority rulo is

established thut only a political convulsion can

overthrow. An election implies a body of olectors having prescribed qn llP.ontians, enoh one of whom has un equnl value and intlucnco in determining the result. So when the constitution provides that "each state shall appoint" (elect). "In such manner us the legislature thereof may direct, a number ot electors, etc.," an unrestricted power wis not given to tho legislatures In the selection of the methods to be used. "A repuilean form of government" is guaranteed hy the constitution to each state, and the power given by the same instrument to the legislatures uf the stutes, to escribe methods for the choice by the state of electors, must be exercised under that limitation. The esscutial features of such a government are the right of the people to choose their own officers and the nearest practicable equality of value in the suffrages given lu determining that choice, it will not be claimed that the power given to the legislature would support a law providing that the persons receiving the smallest vote should be the electors or a law that allows that the electors should be chosen by the voters of a single cougr.'slonal district. The state is to choose, ami under the pretense of regulating methods the legislature can neither vest the right «f choice elsewhere nor adopt methods not conformable to republican institution*.

The Gerrymander Mtht Go. It is not my purpose here to discus* the question whether a choice by the tegislatureor by the voters of equal single districts is a choice by the state, but only to reeomtuend such regulations of thl- matter bv constitutional amend ment which will secure uniformity and prevent that disgraceful partisan jugglerv to which Mich a liberty of choice, if it exists, oilers a temptation. Nothing just now more important than to pro\ide -very guarantv for the absolutely fair and free choice "by an 'equal suffrage within the respective states of all the officers of the national governments, whether that suffrage is appUed directly, as in the choice of members of the house of representatives, or indirectly, us in the choice ol senators and electors of president. Hespect for public oftlcers and rtbedi»»nee to law will not eeaso to be the characteristics of our people until out election* eea-e to declare the will of majorities fairly ascertained, without fraud, suppression or gerrymander.

Our f'lilef N thumi Danger. If I were called upon to declare wherein out chief national danger lie*, 1 should say, without hesitation, in the overthrow of majority control by the suppression or supervision of the popular sulfrage. That there is real dangei here all must agree, but the energies of those vho see it have been ehleflv expended in Iry ing to fix responsibility upon the opposite party, rather loan in efforts to make such practice* impossible by either partv.

Is it not possible now to adjourn that interminable and inconclusive debate while wc take, by consent, one step in the direction reform by eliminating the gerrymander which has been denounced by all parties, as an influence In the selection of electors of president and members of congress?

An attempt was made in the last eon gross to bring to bear the constitutional powers of the general government for the correction of frauos against tho suffrage, lt islm portunt to know whether the opposition to such measures is really vested in particular features supposed to be objectionable or includes any proposition to rive to the election laws of the United States powers adequate to the correction of grave and acknowledged evils. I must yet entertain the hope that it Is possible to so curc a calm, patriotic consideration of such constitutional or statutory changes as may be necessary to secure the choice of the officers ol the government to the people by fair apportionments aud free elections.

I have alluded to the gerrymander as affecting the method of selecting electors of president by congressional districts, but the prU rnary Intent and effect of this form of political robbery have relation to the selection of members of the house of representatives. The power of congress is ample to deal with this threatening and intolerable abuse. The unfailing test of sincerity in election reform will be found in a willingness to confer as to remedies and to put into force such measures oj will most effectually preserve the right of people to free and equal representation.

A Commission Needed.

I believe it would be possible to constitute a commission, non-partisan in its managership and composed of patriotic, wise aud impartial men, to whom a consideration of the question of the evils connected with our election system and methods might be committed with a good prospect of securing unanimity in some plan for removing or mitigating these evils. The constitution would permit tho selection of the commission to be vested in the supreme court, if that method would give the best guaranty of impartiality. This commission should be charged with the duty of Inquiring into the whole subject of the law of elections as related to the choice of officers of tho national government with a view to securing to every elector a free and unmolested ex* ercise of the suffrage and as near an approach to aa equality of value in each ballot cast as Is attainable. While the policies of the general government upon the tariff, upon the restoration of our merchant marine, upon river and harbor improvements and other such matters of grave anil general concern are liable to be turned this way or that by the results of congressional elections and administrative policies sometimes involving issuos that tend to peace or war, to be turned this way or that by the results of a presidential election, there is a rightful interest in all tho states and iu every congressional district that will not be deceived or silenocd by tho audacious pretense that the question of the right of any body of iegal voters in any state or in any congressional district to their suffrages force upon these general questions is a matter of only local concern or control. The demand that the limitation of suffrage should be found in the law and only there is a just demand and no just man should resent or resist it. My appeal is, and must continue to be, for a consultation that shall -proceed with candor, calmness and patience upon the lines of justice and humauItv, not of prejudice and cruelty." To the consideration of these very grave questions I invite not only the attention of congress, but that of all patriotic citi/.ens. We must not entertain the delusion that our people have ceased to regard a free ballot and equal representation as the price of their allegiance to laws and to civil magistrates.

Conclusion.

1 have been greatly rejoiced to notice many evidences of the iucreased unification of our people and of a revived national spirit. The vista thut now opens to us is wider and more glorious than ever before. Gratification and amazement struggle for supremacy as we contemplate the population, wealth and moral strength of our country. A trust, momentous In Its influence upon our people and upon the world, is for a brief time committed to us. and we must not he faithless to Its first condltionthe defense of the free and equal influences of the people in the choice of public officers and In the control of public affairs.

The laws of health nre taught in the schools but not iu a way to be of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples, which in many caaos might easily be done. If some scholar, who hnd just contracted a cold, was brought before tho school, so that all could hear the dry, loud cough and know its significance see tho thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what the first symptoms of a cold wero. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that even a soveie cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly mitigated, when properly treated as soon as the first symptoms appear. This remedy is famous for its cures of coughs colds and croup.* It is made especially for these diseases and is tho most prompt and most reliable medicine known for the purpose. 50 cent bottles for sale bv Nye & Co.
