TULSDAY, DEOiJMEEB 7. 1886

In the future no well-regulated city will be without a committee of One Hundred.

The president's message is like a patent office report. It seems to be a necetsary evil, but nobody wants to read it.

The general opinion of the Democratic press seems to be that Mr. Cleveland could not retrieve himself, had he twnty years, instead of two, in which to make amends for his behavior. That

Democratic president should give a Republican an office, or retain a Republican in office, is an unpardonable sin ic the eyes of his constituents. From the aged philosopher, who toasts his toes at the stove of the country grocery, to the Wall street autocrat, or the journalistic solon, the condemnation is unanimous and profane.

Miss Mary Naylor, of Crawfordsville, is announced as a candidate for state librarian. Her father was Judsre Isaac Naylor, well known throughout the state as a lawyer and judge. She comes of well-known staunch Whig and .Republican stock and a loDg line of soldier ancestry, and has always been herself strong in the faith of her fathers. Miss N&ylor has been prominent in moral educational and philanthropic work, and, having been assistant librarian from April 1, 1S77, to April 1, 1879, performing the duties of the position acceptably, is peculiarly adapted to the place. She has many friends throughout the stats ^ho will interest themselves in her behalf.

Mr. Blaine has been visiting Williams College, and while there wished to know why the majority of students are freetraders. The question is easily answered because they use free trade text books and are instructed by men who are scholars and for this reason learn little knowledge of practical matters. When they graduate and begin to «ee and act and think for themselves, they Eoon modify their views. In the .North probably three-fouiths of the students of all the colleges are Republicans. When they begin to interest thcroseivfs in politics personally and actively, their free trade teaching melts like frost in the sun. By the way, it might boa profitable work for some competent man to prepare a text book on political economy, thatj would be in accordance with the priucipies of the majority of these who a likely to study such a work.

The Macon Telegraph thinks that Samuel J. Randall will be an ideal candidate, one whom the Labor party can indorse enthusiastically. It preceives in him the working-man's friend, the de. fense of American industries, the man whom New York will support, the man whom Pennsylvania will support, the man whom the awakened South will support, the man whom every industrial state will support, a man whom the Democratic party will endorse, and re-nomi-nate, and a'l hccause stranger things than this have happened. This places Mr. Bandall a long wsy ahead of Mr. Georg« or Ben Butler, and, in the essentials of political and private character several notches above the .father of his country, or Thomas Jefferson.1

Theie are drawbacks to Mr. Bftcdftll prospects, however, which the Telegraph overlooks: ha ia t»o able and intensely rsspteiaHa man to b« populrr #ith bis own party. He will have no chance for nomination, over the hundreds who have not these disqualifications, and who have hosts of friends to rally around them at the proper time.

President Cleveland's message will not be handed dewn as a great state doco ment. The moet important foreign question before the country is the fisheries His remarks on lhat qaeetion place him in a bad position before the country. Admitting that a satisfactory settlement has not been arrived at, all he has to effer are his "hopes" that the question will be satisfactory settled, and "the attitude of the administration clearly comprehended."

On the Mexican question he is equally lame. He has no remedy to offer for the existing state of affairs, and "trusts that ia the interests of good neighborhood the statute referred to (the one under which Cutting was punished) will be so modified as to eliminate the present possibilities of danger to the peace of the two countries." He only "trusts," and has no plan by which the two countries can come to a closer understanding.

His remarks on the tariff question are undoubtedly a bid for a renomination in 1888. He places himself in direct opposition to the welfare of tho manufacturing interests of the country, ignoring the fact, or perhaps he is totally ignorant of it, that when the wheels of our manufacturing industries are turning, laboring men havf work, and farmers have good markets.!

He piaces himself on record as an enemy o| the silver dollar, and does not see necessity for its further coinage. On that question he is ia accord with the eastera wing of his party, and in oppo. sition to the western wing.

A careful perusal of the message will convince *Mr. Cleveland's most ardent admirers that it is a very weak state document.

There ia still a prolonged and piteous yelp from what the Mugwumps term "the spoils orgaas," over the enforcement of civil service ruies. These, with the New York Sun at their head, frankly confess that the Democracy elected a president from no motives of patriotism, but solely to get the officee. Many of theso have been given Republicans, or are still held by them, while the poor Bourbon wbo cheered till his throat was sore, worked eaily and late, carried a torch of cold October evenings, is, figuratively speak ing, out in the cold still. Under Republican rule many competent Democrats were appointed to important positions, but the honor thus conferred was voluntary, and was not the ^fulfillment of any promise or the recognition of any pledge. It was simply the quiet enforcement of a principle that would have been, eventually, firmly established. Republicans, as a rule, are not constitutional office-seekers. They comprise the greater portion of the professional and commercial classes, and as such, are occupied with their private business. They desire that the affairs of the country shall bo carried on to 'subserve the highest good of the greatest possible number. That this is true can be proved by the fact that with cach election, scores of competent men, who are pre-eminently fitted for public work, decline nomination, and it is not infrequently a difllcult matter to induce a fitting man, one whom the better element will support, to become a candidate. Witn the Democracy the case is wholly different. They are born with a thirst for office, which grows with their years and strengthens with their strength. In youth they whine for it in manhood the whine develops into an ear-splitting howl, which is neither softened nor tempered by advancing age.

General improvements have recently been made in the core room. The heating ovens have been repaired and a tmoke stack added, and another oil box added. The electric lights will soon be put in, as part of the force is working at night.

Wabash Rolling Mill.

The mill is running full in all departments. Richard Walker has been off duty a portion of the week on account of sickness.

James Cahill, helper in the Grude mill, was married this week to a North Third street lady.

The blast furnace still continues in full operation, and prospects are that it will not shutdown all winter.

William Long, Jr.' has resigned his position in the mill and taken a place in the Phosnix foundry and machine works.

James Eyaus received a telegram last Saturday night from Bealark, Kan., bringing to him the sad news of the death of his little boy, the youngest of his family. He left on the first train for that place, and returned with the body, which was buried on Friday of this week.

THE MESSAuc.

[COHTnnrKffTSOM FIRST PAOS.]

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

In considering the report of tbe secretary of the interior, the president says: When the existing system was adopted, the Indian race was outside of the limits of organized stvtee and territories and behind the immediate reach and operations of civilization, and all efforts were mainly directed to the maintenance of iriendly relations and the preservation of peace and quiet on the frontier. All this is now changed. There is no such thing as the Indian frontier. Civilization, with the busy hum of industry, and the influence of Christianity, surrounds these people at every point. None of the tribes are outside of tbe bounds of organized government society, except that the territorial system bas not been extended over that portion of the country known as the Indian territory. As a race, the Indians are no longer hostile, but may be considered as submissive to the control of the government, as few of them only are troublesome. Except the fiagments of several bands, all are now gath-.red upon reservations. It is no longer possible for them to subsist by the chase and the spontaneous productions of the earth with an abundance of land, if furnished with the means and implements for profitable husbandry, their iife of entire depended upon government rations from day to day—no longer defensible. Their inclination, long fostered by a defective system or control, is to cling to the habits and customs of their ancestors, and struggle with persistence against the change of life wlfich their altered circumstances press uponjthem. But barbarism and civilization cannot live together. It is impossible that such incongruous conditions should coexist on tlie same soil. They area portion of our government and have a peculiar claim upon aud are entitled to the fostering care and protection of the nation. The government cannot relieve itself of this responsibility until they are so far trained and civilized as to be able wholly to manage and care for themselves. The paths in which they should walk must be clearly marked out for them, and they must be led cr guided until they are familiar with the way and competent to assume the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. Progress in this great work will continue only at tbe present slow pace, and at great expense, unless the system and methods of management are improved to meet the changed conditions and urgent demands of the service.

The appointment of a commission to consider the whole question is urged. PENSION8.

Referring to the Batifactory exhibit of operations of the pension bureau during the last fiscal year, and to pension matters generally, the president says the usefullness and justice of any system for distribution of pensions depends the equality and uniformity of its operations, and as long as we adhere to the principles of granting pensions for service and disability as the result of service, the allowence of pensions should be re stricted to cases presenting these features.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Of Pacific railroad debt and extension proposition, he says, that congress, in considering the plan suggested by the secretary of tbe interior, and endorsed by the board of government directors, the sole matters of which should be taken into account, are the situation of govern ment as a creditor and the surest way to secure the payment of the principal and interest of its debt.

INTER-STATE COMMERCE.

Of inter-state commerce he says that by the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States it has been adjudged that the laws of the several states are inoperative to regulate the rates of transportation upon railroads. If such regulation interferes with the rate of carriage from one state into another, this important field of control and regulation having been thu- left entirely unoccupied, the expediency of Federal action upon the subject is worthy of consideration.

LAD0R AND CAPITAL.

Of the relations of labor to capital, the president thinks thatjwhen these differ

men last week Mr. Charles Jones has gone from the Tences between employer and employed reach such a stage as to result in thie interruption of commerce between states, the application of arbitration by the general government might be regarded as entirely within its constitutional powers.

He thinks we might reasonably hope that such arbitrators, if carefully selected, and if entitled to the confidence of

eected would be yol-

troversies of less extent andv'not necessarily within the domain of federal regulation.

THE FREEDSIAN'S SAVINGS BANK. The president recommends as the plain duty, on the part of the government, the payment of a million and a quarter dollars still due t^ the Freedman's Savings bank depositors.

CIVIL SERVICE.

Civil service reform is the last important topic discussed in the message. The continued operation of the civil service law, he asserts, have added the most convincing proofs of its necessity and usefulness. Every public officer who has a just idea of his duty to the people,testifies to the value of this reform. Its stauchest friends are found among those who understood it best, and its warmest eupporters are those who are restrained and protected by its requirements. The meaning of such restraint and protection is not appreciated by those who want places under the government, regardless of merit and efficiency, nor by those who insist that the selection for such places should rest upon the proper credentials ehowing active partisan work. They mean to public officers the only opportunities afforded them to attend to public business, and they mean to the good people of the country better performance of the work of their government. It is exceedingly strange, the president thinks, that the scope and nature of this reform are BO little understood, that so many things not included within its. pl^n are called by its name. When the cavil yield* more fully to the examination system it will have larger additions to the number of its friends. Oar civil service reform, the president says, may be imperfect in aome of ita detail*. It may be misunderstood mod opposed it may not always be fmithfuHj applied ita design may sometimes miKarrytbroagfc mistake or wHfal intent,

THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS.

Showing the Opera Ions of tho Treasury, VTsrandlaierior D.piitm-.ni'.

The annual reports of the operations of tbe various department* of the government for the fiscal year ending Jane 30, 18S6, have been made.

T.ouu er Jordan's R»port. Treasurer Jordan in his report of the financial operations of the government for the year ending June 30,1886, shows that tbe net receipts were $336,439,727, and the net expenditures, $241,483,133. The receipts were $12,749 029 greater and the expenditures $17,743,796 less than last year, making an increase in tbe net receipts for tbe past fiscal year over that of 1885 of $30,492,S17. The excess of ic venue over expenditures was $93,956,5S9. During the year bonds amounting to $44,531,350 were redeemed and applied to the sinking fund. Treasurer Jordan suggests a revision of the method heretofore adopted in making up the sinking fund by which the sinking fund charge for the current year will be $37,436.45S, instead of $49,843,728, according to the present method. By the present method the entire debt

ot

The War Department.

The report of Secretary Endicott shows that the expenditures of the war department Jor the fear were $36,990,903 30 of which $1,992,469 were for salaries and contingent expenses, $24,297,500 for military establishments, $6,294,305 for public works, and $4,406,627 for miscellaneous expenditures. The appropriations for the current year are $40,027,559.80, and the estimate for the year ending June 30, 1888, are $48,260 835. Tbe army at this date consists of 2,103 officers and 23,946 entered men, which

t~

the United

States will be retired by the year 1908, and if the method suggested by Treasurer Jordan is adopted the debt will be extinguished by the year 1913. At the close of the year the United States bonds held as security for national bank circulation amounted to $275,974,800, a reduction of $36,170,400 during the year. Three per cent bonds amounting to $34,458,750 were withdrawn during the year, most of which were surrendered for redemption. The amount of bonds deposited during the year was $26,924,900, and the bonds withdrawn amounted to $61,062,400, showing a decrease of $34,117,500. During the year national bank notes amounting to $130,296,606 were presented for redemption, a falling off of 13 26 per cent, from last year. The decrease in the volume of bank notes in circulation since 1882 seems to indicate that since that time il has been excessive, or above a point at whit it could be profitably maintained. The total reduction in four years was $58,919,747, and this has apparently had the effect to check the decrease in bank note redemptions, as they have steadily fallen off until they are 31 per cent, less for the current year than they were for the preceding year. The report states that 61,761,448 standard silver dollars are now in circulation, and that $65,000,000 is the extreme limit of circulation that may be obtained. When the new $1 and $2 silver certificates become circulated, a return of one-half of the standard dollars to the treasury may be expected, and, in view of this fact, Mr. Jordan asks whether further coinage may not be dispensed with, even if the bullion is purchased, as the cost of coinage amounts to two cents per dollar. The amount of silver dollars coined to date is $246,673,386 the amount of gold coin and bullion on hand is $254,450 853. The cost of the $246,673,386 of silver is $216,804,269, the present $188,014,354, showing an actual loss of $28,034,914. Mr. Jordan recommends alterations in the present sub-treasury system, in order that it may conform to the financial changes which have taken place since the system was adopted. With the extinction of thu 3 per cent, bonds, the only bonds available for the purpose of the sinking fund are tbe 4 per cents, and the 4} per cents. At the present cost of the collection of the revenue, the loss on the existing sinking funil will be $765,000 per annum, aseuming that the bonds can earn only 2 per cent. Consequently there will continue to be a derangement of the existing financial system if the purchases of the sinking fund are to be maintained at the present figures. As these de rangements happen almost invariably at the time of the raoving of the crops of the country, this statement is equivalent to saying that every pr iduotive interest in the country must pay loll to foreign buyers through the lower range of prices which obtain at such times, because of the fact that our arrangements for collecting and disbursing our revenues are so defective as to need an artificial and violent remedy in order to place in active circulatir-a tbe moneys withdrawn from the business of the country. This method of dealing with the public mcney is not true of any country but this, and Ihe practical sense of the American people, as shown through its representatives in congress, should be adequate to find a remedy for this constantly-recurring evil one sure to grow and become more burdensome in our future national history. This remedy, he says, shouid be found and adopted with the coming session of congress, because the evil complained of will be upon us before its next meeting and the treasury left without anj? means of supplying the urgent needs of the country.

ten generals, 1,213 members of the general staff, 10 regiments of cavalry of 6,-92 men, five regiments of artillery of 2,473 men 25 regiments of infantry of 10,721 men, 595 Indian scouts, and 2,003 in the general service. A considerable portion of the report is devoted to an account of the southwestern campaign against tbe Apache Indians, concluding with an expression of hope that the wars and ^aids wbich have devastated Arizona and New Mexico for years were at an end. There are 425 signal service I stations in operation and the increasing demand for weather forecasts show the value of the service. An increase of $10,000 in the appropriation i? asked for the efficiency of the service. The secretary recommends that the rolls and rec* ord books in the department which are fast becoming illegible, be preserved by being printed and bound in substantial form, and asks that he be authorized to employ the clerks in the department who are familiar with these records to assist in this work. He also recommends that congress make provision for the appointment of an assistant secretary of war.

The Interior Department.

The annual report of the secretary of war is very lengthy. The thread ot it is devoted to ihe discussion of Indian affain which are at present quiet. Out of a total Indian population of 260,000, less than 100 nave been engaged in open op-, position to the au'hority Of the government. There has bean a steady improvement in tbe moral material and intelJactual condition of the Indiana daring the year. They an mora tractable fairer

crimes and depredations are charged against them more of them than at any prior period are engaged in r.seful and profitable industries more than ever before are located upon individual allotments of land, tilling the soil and living in houses more have laid aside the blanket for the dress of civilisation. The average attendance ot children in the achools is about 1,600 greater than heretofore, and many more of the parents are anxious for tbe education of their children. The estimates for tho Indian eer vice for tbe ensuing year are $422,386 less than last year. The only altern.itive, the secretary says, for the American Ia dian race is speedy entrance into the pale of American civilization or tctl extinction.

The report of the general land oifi'n shows that 23,326,065 acres were disp*sai of during the year—the receipts from ali sources being $9,031,0S4. Active measures are recommended to prevent the illegal occupation and pot?se*sion rf the public lands, and in connection with ihis the secretary says of the letter of S W. Dorsey, explaiuing the methods of ranchmen in saizing upon vast incts of land: "It will be perceived that tlwre ia no deaial by the writer of th letter lhat the public domain has been unlawful.y fenced, and no apology id suggested fi.r the unlawful acts. The ingenious simplicity which, without coccealme.it cr defense, admits the violation of the l»w, and the naive frankness which assorts that reasons exist why the viol*tion should-be continued, are equaled only by the innocent unconsciousness of any moral wrong in thus deliberately disregardingthe hw-rf the country.

The report of the commissioner of patents shows that the application? of all kinds during the year numbered 40,678, and that 2,5S6 caveats were received 24,134 patents, including reissues an4 designs, were granted 1,038 trade marks were registered, and 379 lables were registered 2,758 patents were withheld for non-payment of final fees. The receipts of tbe office during the year wfire $1,205,167.80.

The report of the labor bureau says that its investigations show conclusively that the impression wbich hss existed in the United States for the past half decade has heen contemporaneous, not only in features but extent with depressTons in other industrial countries. The facts pollected warrant the deduction that industrial depressions are largely exaggerated through the apprehensions af business men and the public generally, growing out of a want of clearly defined knowledge of current events. Among the various causes aleged by manufacturers and others the existence of industrial depressions are to be found in the irregularities existing in rates of duty under present tarifl legislation. The nature and influence of these irregularities are illustrated by statistics gathered by agents of the bureau, relating to lines of goods manufactured in England and largely imported into our markets. Many wellinformed business men allege that high duties on imported goods constitute a serious disturbing influence in manufacturing, but they complain more of the inequalities in rates than of high or low rates of duty. The statistics just referred to show that in one line of goods manufactueid at Leeds the variation is from 50 per cent, to over 180 per cent, on the price at the factory in England, the highest priced goods being west of-Eng-land broadcloth, worth $3.60 per yard in Leeds, the specific duty being 35 cents per pound and the ad valorem 40 per cent., making a total of 53.3 per cent, on the value at the factory, while it is further shown that this per cent, on cost steadily increases until it reaches 180.7 percent, on low-priced goods.

The commissioner recommends the following remedial agencies: "The judicious revision of tariff, regulating duties on a just and equitable basis, in so far as it removes apprehension and puts all interests on a fairer basis, would be a remedial measure. Such adjustment .JOUM b»L^ W,u!I! relieve manufacturers of anxiety, would satisfy labor, and would keep ihe treasury supplied with funds. Practically these are tbe ends sought, it is presumed, b". any adjustment of the tariff, etc. Any adjustment on the b°sis of the cost of production would inevitably result in a conetsat enlargement of the free list, and in so far would have a moral effect in the community which could not be otherwise than healthful. "And further, that a statutory provision should he made by which the tariff should be regulated on a basis of justice and science, and not on a haphazard basis, which affects only individual in terests and oftentimes inflicts general harm."

Of Rework of the Utah commission, the secretary reports that the laws agaioBt polygajpy have been well enforced, for during the year there were ninety-three convictions under it, and there are no 123 indictments pending. Of these bin seven have promised to obey the laws in the future, and thus secured their freedom.

Evidence was beard and(Judge Mack rendered a judgment of one cent and costs a 'ainst Record. Judge Eggleston was Stewart's attorney. ''I'll just pay you the one cent now," r,aid Record, and he handed over a five-cent piece to Judge Eggleston. The judge said he had no change and was proceeding to pocket the five cent?, when Record Baid: "Here, I want my change." The judge handed the money back to Record and said that he should go and get it changed, for he would not go to that trouble to get his client a penuy.
