I'rexidont Cleveland')* tneHHagc to C'onKres.s, delivered on Toe day, has een the rhief tlicnie of discussi? duriug the wenk. The Republican loaders pronounce itanout a fid out free trade document and profess themselves quite willto go to the country ujxm the issue thus presented, provided that, the Democrats have the courage to stand by Mr. Cleveland.
On tho other hand the Chicago Tribune a "Republican newspaper of moderate protection ideas, coinmonded the message, declaring that it but utters the sentiments which both parties have expressed through their national platforms io recent yearn. It certainly makes the tarifl' issue the overshadow iug one in the next "campaign, unless the present Congress .ihall disposo of the question in a manner that will be reasonably satisfactory to the country. Such must have been Mr. Cleveland's idea when ho purftuod tho unprecedented course of oonlining his message to a single subject of discussion, thus emphasizing its importance.
I 'p'm two points it may be said that tho country, without distinction of party is fully agreed, viz: that the revenue is excessive and that it ought to be reduced. The plan suggested by the President for accomplishing this is to rudtiee the taxes on imports by increasing the free list and reducing the tariff on necessaries To this it is objected by the Republicans that lowering the tariff duties will open the doors to the cheap goods of Europe, ami thus bring American labor down to tho level of Europe. It is cortaln, how ever, that thore is a strong feelingamong business men and others that the bur den of unnecessary taxation should be lifted from the people and it will be in teresting to observe the position which the two parties will Anally take on the quostion in Congross.
Mr. RIaino's prompt interview in op position to tho message is undoubtedly intended as tho key note of tho Repub Mean campaign lfSKSand places him for umlly in tho ring as a candidate.

VICTORY.
The rocent decision of tho Supreme urt of tho United Statos in tho Kansas lienor cases will afford much encourage iiK-ut to the friends of Prohibition. Tho -.rt holdf that a State may law hlblt th^manufacture iro|tl sale .Seating liquors and that no tompen lion may bo demanded by brewers and "-tillers fordamagos sustained by them 'Viie decision does not rost upon the round that tho State may confiscate private property, but upon tho principle that all property is hold subject to the obligation that it shall not be used so as to injure the rights of others.
One ofloot of this decisiou will be to discourage investment in distilleries, broworios and saloons, since money invested in that kind of property is subject to police regulation and police regu at ion may practically amount to contention, if tho Legislature choosed to ako that view of the subject. Nor does federal liconso to carry on the prohlbtod businoss afford protection, since the tato is clothod with the absolute right determine the question of police reguation.
This decision appears to be of root and •ranch throughness and to go as far as he most ardent Prohibitionist could ave hoped or desired. Being by the ixhost judicial tribunal in the land it Is (inclusive and binding throughout all arts of tho Union. It is a decided vicrv for the prohibition people and lllusates the popular tendency in thedirecon of more rigid restraint of the liquor •a file.

M. Sadi-Carnot is the new President the French Republic, elected by the Mmtors and Deputies. After all the utter jwvssed off more quietly than had bon expected and that fussy country beeotne as quiescent again as it can E\»ll be expected to be. The new man compromise between the friends of *rry and those of Freycinet and appears be a rather unknown quantity whose opacity for administration is yet to be «ted.
The poril of France has been passed the present, but a greater peril is ibably in store against the time when ance shall become involved in foreign r. It is always in times of military I'itetnent that systems of government put'toth" severest strains and if in tes of pcace the republican instituns of France are supposed to be imiled, what may be expected of such •olatile, impulsive and hot-headed bple under the wtvene strain of war? [j» hardly poswibl© that Franco could |r have gone thrm a:h a war like tbat listil in America nod held together |cr a Republican form of gorerment, until Republican principles are firmly established iu the minds ^er people and the following of the larch lata become* formidable it now is, it may well be doubtful her France will be able to endure lin of another war with Germany »ut overtopllog the present form of ^tment. such a war will come in the Mar is the judgment ot all intelligent

World. The general expectation is that the death of the present aped ruler of Germany, which may occur at any moment, will precipitate the conflict. Roth nations have been preparing for war for some years past and a favorable opportunity is only wanted to make a cause for the opening of hostilities. When that war comes Republicanism in France will be put to a more crucial test than it ha«,yet experienced.
IN his ani.ual report Secretary Laniar claims that some 31,000,000 acres of public land have been reclaimed from corporations and restored to the public during the past year.' That is a good record certainly and one that all fair-minded citizens can commend. There is a great deal of public land yet for all -who want it, but the time is fast approaching in this country when every acre of land will be needed to supply our rapidly growing population.
IT looks very much as though Jay Gould and Russell Sago would be indicted for larceny on withholding assets to securc bond-holders of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The claim that the statute of limitations is a bar to the action is denied and the case will porbably go before tho courts. The matter ought to be pushed with all the vigor necessary to bring these grand rascals to justis^.
IT cannot be said that Mr. Cleveland does not believe in young-blood in politics. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, who takes Mr. Lamar's place as Secretary ol'the Interior, is only 41, and Mr. Vilas was but
45
when he became Postmaster
General. ChatlesS. Fairchild also becomes Secretary at the age of 45. But all of them are strong men for their years
ONCE more an intimate friend of Mr. Blaine comes forward with the assurance that he will not be a candidate next year that he loves private lifo so well ho will never consent to assume the burdens of public office again. Well, we shall know lots more about it after the next Republican natioual convention has adjtyrned.
FRED GRANT said it was easier to man age a surplus than a deficit but the Democrats do not seem to have found it so. The one and only Bard problem that has confronted them since their advent to power has been how to get rid of the surplus money in the national Treasury and they have not succeeded in working it out yet.
DR. JOSEPH PARKER, of Londouj made somo bad blunders during his brief tour in the United States. It is probably safe to say that the Doctor's reputation was greater among Americans before his coming than it will be upon his return home.
JOHANN MOST, the New York anarchist, was sentenced on Thursday to one year in the penitentiary. Ponding an appeal toa higllpr oourt, he was admitted to bail\ii wcfuian going on his bond for $5,000.
THE 19th of June has been selected as the time and Chicago the place for holding the next Republican. National convention to nominate a candidate for President.
TnK first chapters of a charming new serial story by "The Duchess," the most popular story writer of the present time, will be given in The Mail next week.
