Supervision o( so many important subjects that his report is o( especial value and interest. On the. 30th day of June. 1803. there were on the pension rolls 900 012 names, an increase of 89,941 over the number on the rolls June 30, 1892. Of these there were seventeen widows and daughters of Revolutionary soldiers, 5.423 survivors and widows of soldiers of the war of 1812.21.518 survivors and widows of the Mexican war, 3,882 survivors and widows of Indian *wars, 284 array nurses and 475.645 survivors and widows and children of deceased soldiers and sailors of the war of the rebellion. SUSPENSION OP PENSIONS. The discovery having been made that many names had been put on the pension roll by means of wholesale and gigantic frauds, the commissioner suspended payments upon a number of pensions which seemed to bo fraudulent or unauthorized, ponding a complete examination, giving notice to the pensioners, in order that they might have an opportunity to establish, if possible, the justice of theirclalms, notwithstanding apparent invalidity. CONDITION OK THE INDIANS. The condition of the Indians and their ultimate fate are subjects which are related to a sacred duty of the Government, and which strongly appeal to the sense of justice and the sympathy of our people. Our Indians number about • G '.,030. Most of them are located i n lt-1 reservations, containing 86.116.521 acres of land. About 110,009 of those Indians have, to a h r re degree, adopted civilized customs. Linds in several Territories ha\ o been allotted to many of them. Such allotments have been m uie to 10X0) individuals during the last fiscal year, embracing about I OXl.iCfl acres. DEPARTMENT OF AORICULTUKE. The report of the Secretary of Agriculture will be found exceedingly interesting. On the 7th day of March, 1893, there were upon the pay-rolls 2,430 employes of the department. Til's number has been reduced to 1,850 persons. During the first quarter of the present year the expenses of the department aggregated *345,876.76 against *402,012.42 for the corresponding period of the iiseal year ending June 30 1893. The Secretary makes apparent his intention to continue this rate of reduction by submitting estimates for the next liscal vear. less'by $991,280 than those for the present year. CIVIL SERVICE LAW. The continued Intelligent execution of the civil service law and the increased approval by the people of its operation are most gratifying. The recent extension of its limitations and regulations to the employes at free delivery poatoffices, which lias been honestly and promptly accomplished by the commission, with tin hearty co-operation of the PostmasterGeneral, is an immensely important advance In the usefulness of the system. REFORM OF THE TARIFF. Economy in public expenditure is a duty that cannot innocently be neglected bj those Intrusted with the control of money drawn from the people for public uses, it must be confessed that our apparently endless resources, the familiarity of our people with immense accumulations of wealth, the growing sentiment among them that the expenditure of public money should in some manner be to their immediate and personal advantage, the indirect an 1 almost stealthy manner in which a large part of our taxes are exacted and a degenerated sense of official accountability have led to growing extravagance in governmental appropriations. At this time, when a depleted public treasury confronts us, when'many of our people are engaged in a st.'ugg e for the necessities of life, and when forced economy is pressing upon the great mas - of our countrymen, I desire to urge with all the earnestness at my command that Congressional legislation be so limited by strict economy as to exhibit an appreciation of the condition of the Treasury and a sympathy with the straitened circumstances of our fellow-citizens. Manifestly, if we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of its most obvious features should be a reduction in the present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life. The ben ‘fits of such a reduction would bo palpable and substantial, seen and felt by thousands, who would be better fed, better clothed and better sheltered. These gifts should be the willing benefactions of a Government whose highest function is the promotion of the welfare of the people. Not loss closely related to our people’s prosperity and well-being is the removal of restrictions upon the importation oi raw materials necessary to our manufac tures. Tha world should be open to our national ingenuity and enterprise. Th s cannot be while Federal legislation through the imposition of high tariff, forbids to American manufacturers as cheap materials as those used by their competitors. A measure has been prepared by the appropriate Congressional committee embodying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested, which will be promptly submitted for legislative action. It is the result of much patriotic and unsellish work, and I believe it deals with its subject consistently and as thoroughly as existing conditions pi Trait. I am satisfied that the reduced tariff duties provided for in the proposed legislation, added to existing internal revenue taxation will, in the near future, though, perhaps, not immediately produce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the Government. In my great desire for the success of this measure. 1 cannot restrain the suggestion that its success can only be attained by means of unselfish counsel on the part of the friends of tariff reform and as result of their wi.l ngness to subordinate personal desires and ambitions to the general good. The local interests affected by the proposed reform are so numerous and so varied that if all arc insisted upon the legislation embodying the reform will inevitably fail. THE PRESIDENT’S CONCLUSION. In conclusion my intense feeling of responsibility impels me to invoke, for the manifold interests of a generous and confiding peoulo. the most scrupulous care, and plodpo my willing support to every legislative effort for the advancement of the greatness and prosperity of our beloved country.

PEOPLE. Joseph Samuels and wife, of Pape county. Va., are an uncommonly healthy old couple. She is 85, and he is 01; and they have never needed the services of a physician. Pope Leo’s family is very long lived. With the exception of his brother, the vcardinal, who died a few years ago at the ape of eiphtytwo, all his immediate relatives have lived to be more than ninety years old. Rudyard Kiplinp is said to have about completed a “long story.” There is curiosity to see what effect his change of environment has had on his workmanship. He has not attempted to make himself popular in the United States, and if all that is said of him is to be believed he is a very cranky young man. Silas Holbrook, of East Harpswell, Me., was out in a boat with his dog. The animal discovered that the boat was badly leaking, the plug having been removed from the opening in the bottom, After placing its paw over the hole to stop the leak, it directed the attention of Mr. Holbrook to the matter, and maintained its position until the plug was found and replaced. Sir George Humphsey, who has investigated the life history of centenarians in England with the view of ascertaining the causes and circumstances of longevity, has reported that centenarians are almost invariably lean people, of spare haoits, and small eaters and drinkers. He further adds that abstemiousness from alcohol is fonnd to be the general rule. Pennants, the great traveler, hated wigs, and got into innumerable broils by snatching off the head covering of every man he met who wore a wig. The auburn whiskers of Martin Dunbar, a school janitor at Town Hill, near New London, Conn., are his pride and delight. A few nights ago, while Martin was in bed, the lightning descended the chimney of the house and dimmed the natural radiance of his whiskers by plowing a furrow through them with a violet flajne. Goyham Abbott,ofWinsted, Conn., surprised his friends by beginning to talk after being dumb for thirty years. He was made deaf and dumb by an attack of scarlet fever in his youth. Within a week he has uttered several words coherently, and it is thought he may regain full power of speech. By the death of MacMahon, Canrobert is left the only surviving Marshal of France. He is in his 85th year and has held that high military rank since 1856. In the reign of Louis XIV the number of these officers reached its maximum, twenty. In the days of the first republic it was resolved to let the title die out, an example followed by the third republic. It is noteworthy that nearly all the famous Marshals, like the famous Generals elsewhere, lived to be old men. WOMEN. Dr. W. II. Watt'* Sanitarium, Mrs. H. M. Swain. M.

The American Plan. New York Weekly. Foreigner—What do you Americans do when the officials you elect fail in their duty to the public, and line their own pockets? American — Do? Why, sir, wo hold indignation meetings—yes, sir;, and sometimes, sir, our righteous wrath passes all bounds of propriety, and we actually burn them in effigy — yes, sir. “What do you do next?” “Why,—er—we go back to our business, forget all about it, and elect ’em again.” So Tenderhearted. Indianapolis Journal. She sat town with the fierce light of controversy shining in her eyes. “What’s the reason you think women should not be allowed to ■ote?" she aggressively inquired. “I don’t object to the single woman voting,” he answered,' “but I think a poor married woman who has a husband to look after has all the trouble on her hands she deserves. Tha’tiny only reason.” She arose with her face onwreathed in smiles. Free Medical Advice. Pimples are caused by eating too much meat, cheese or other rich food. Anybody who is troubled with them can banish them in a few weeks by a diet of fruit and simple food, and not very much of it. Meat, cheese and the like are too rich for the blood of some persons and cause a species of blood impurity, or mild poisoning in fact, that shows itself in pimples. In a Position to Know. Indianapolis Journal. “Talk about hard times,” said the fat man with the big diamond, “there are business men in this city of whom I have reason to believe that thev are starving—or at least do not have enough to eat at home.” “How do you figure that out?” “Well, you see, I run a free lunch in connection with my bar.” Troubles Threatening the K <1 ■ oy», Although th y are grievous and very often fa 4 tal if disregarded, may be prevented by a timely rescrl o that admirable safeguard of hea t I, Hestetter’s Stomach Bitters, a genial p omo'er of activity in the renal organs, the stomach and liver.

“August Flower”; “ For two years I suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by a physician.
