which freedom should secure, but has not eff

Assuming, from the action of the last
Congress, in appointing Il Committee
on Privileges and Elections, to prepare
and report to this Congress cOnstitu-
tional amendment to provide for a bet
ter method of electing the President
and Vice President of the States, and
also from the necessity of such an amend
ment, that there will be submitted to the
State Legislatures for ratification such
an improvement in our Constitution,
suggest two others for your considera-
ton: First, to authorize the Executive
To approve of so much of any measures
passing the two houses of Congress as
his Judgment may dictate, without ap-
proving the whole, the disapproved por-
ton or portions to be subjected to the
some rules rs now, to wit: to he re-
ferrcd back TO the house i'm which the
measure of measures originated, and if
passed by two-thir,ls vote of the two
houses, then to become i law, without
the approval of the President. would
add to this provision that there should
be no legislation by Congress during the
last twcnty-four hours of sitting, ex-
cept upon vetoes, in order to give the
Executive an opportunity to examine
and approve or disapprove understand
ingly.
Second, to provide by amendment
that when an extra session OF Congress

In three successive messages to Congress,
have called attention to the subject Of civil
service reform. Action has been taken so far
as to authorize the appointment of board to
devise rules governing the methods OF ormaking
and promotions, but there never
has been any action making these rules or any
rules binding or even entitled to observance,
where persons desire the appointment of a
friend or the removal of an Official who may
be disagreeable to them. To have any rules
effective they must have the acquiescence of
Congress as well as the Executives / recon-
mend, therefore, the subject to your attention,
and suggest that q special Committee Of Con-
gress might confer with the Civil Board dur
Ing the present session, for the purpose of de-
vising such rules as will be maintained, and
which will secure the services of honest and
capable officials osd which will also protect
them in adcgree ofindependence of while in Of
caution and will prove Of great value to the
public at large.

The Ottoman Government and
that of Egypt have latterly shown a
disposition to relieve foreign con-
srls of the Judicial powers which
heretofore they have exercised in
the Turkish dominions by organic
ing other tribunals. AS Congress,
has by law provided for the dis
charge of judicial functions by the
Consuls of the United States in
that quarter under the treaty of
1880, i have not felt at tlilserty for
mally to accept the present charge
without the assent of Congress.
whose decision upon the subject at
as early period as may be conven
lent is earnestly reuuested

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT..
The receipts of the Government from
all sources for the last fiscal year were
$3.50, ,73S. .204, and the expenditures on all
accounts $290,3f5, ,245, thus showing an
excess of receipts over expenditures of
$43, ,392 $50, but it is not probable that
this favorable exhibit will be shown for
the present fiscal year. Indeed, it is
very doubtful whether, except with
great economy on the part of Congress
in making appropriations, and the same
economy on the part of the Administra-
ton in administering the various de-
partmentS of the Government, the reve-
nnes will not fail short OF meeting the
annual expenses, including the interest
on the public debt

During the past year our navy has
been reduced by the sale OF some YES
sells no longer fit for naval purposos,a and
by the condemnation of others not yet
of. This, however, has been
more than compensated for by the re-
pair of the old wooden ships and by the
of eight new sloOps of war,
by the last Congress. The
of these latter has occurred ut
Il doubly fortunate time. They are
about being compl eted, when they will

VI sUcCuidllOll. IL pTtNclt IIe ldlleT, =,
it seems to me that one great step would
be taken by prohibiting the National
Banks from paying interest on deposits
by requiring them to hold their reserves
in their own vaults, and by forcing
them into resumption, though it would
be only in legal tender notes.
WHAT Is RECOMMENDED.
For this purpose 1 would suggest the
establishment Of clearing houses for
your former consideration. To secure
the former many plans have been sug-
gested, most, if not all, of which look
to me like imitation, on one hand, or
compelling the Government, on the
other, to pay interest, without cores
ponding benefits, upon the surplus
funds of the country, during the sea-
sons when otherwise unemployed. L
submit for your consideration, whether
this difficulty might not be overcome by
authorizing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to issue at any time to nominal
banks of issue, any amount of their
notes below fixed per centage of their
issue, say forty per cent. upon the banks
with the Treasurer of the
United States an amount of Govern
ment bonds equal to the amount of rates
banks to forfeit to the Gov
ernment, say four per cent. on the in
terest accruing on the bonds so pledged
during the time they remain with the
Treasury as security for the increase of
the bonds SO pledged TO be
by the banks ut their pleas
IRE, either in whole or in part, by re-
turning their own bills for cancellation
10 an amount equal to the face of the
ponds withdrawn. | would further
suggest for your consideration the pro-
,riety of authorizing national banks to
liminish their standing issue at pleas
ire, by returning for cancellation their
'wn bills and withdrawing so many
United States bonds as are pledged for

of the order of his superiors at Mad
rid which had pertained in the office
since 1925. All these liberal steps
were taken in the face of violent op
position directed by the reactionary
slave holders of Havana, who are
vainly striving to stay the march of
ideas which has terminated slavery
in Christendom.. Cuba only excep-
ted. Unhappily, however, this bane-
full influence has thus far succeeded
in defeating the efforts of all liberal
minded men in Spain TO abolish slav-
cry in Cuba, and in preventing the
promised reform in that Island. The
struggle for political supremacy con-
tinues. The pro-slavery aristocracy
in Cuba is gradually arraying g itself
in more and more open defiance
and hostility to the Home Govern
ment, while it still maintains poll
tical connection with the Republic
in the Peninsula and although usur-
patton or defiance tends in the di
fectlon OF oppression or OF the main
tenance of abuses, it Is still a power
in Madrid and recognized by the
Government. Thus an element more
dangerous to continue colonial re
lations between Cuba an Spain than
that which inspired the insurrection
at Yara an element opposed to grant
ing any relief misrule aud abuse,
with no aspirations after freedom,
commnning no sympathies in gener-
GUS breasts, aiming to rivet still
stronger the shackles of sla ,ery and
has seized many of the
emblems of power in Cuba, and un-
der profession of loyalty to the
mother country is eXhausting the
resources of the island, and is doing
acts which are at variances with
those principles of justice of LIBERIA
lity and of right, which gave nobili-
ty character to a republic. In the
interests of humanity, of civilization,
and ofprogress, it is to be hoped
hat this evil influence may be soon
lverted.

A sensible correspondent of the Country
Gentleman discusses the question why the hay
crop is growing lighter from year to year.
Among other things he says:
Another thing has been whispered, which
is this: That on account of the great compe-
tition among the different moving machine
manufacturers, as to which machine shall
shave-yes, literally shave-the surface of our
meadows the closest, the roots of the grass are
really and permanently injured by leaving
them bare, and thus very liable to be frozen
out absolutely. We believe a good deal of
clover is killed out in this way, the crowns
sliced off to the very roots. Close moving of
grass, like close cropping of the human hair,
is very senseless practice. The "velvet cut"
as it is called, which makes men with dark
brown hair for all the world look like mon
keys, deprives the head, to all intents and
purposes of its natural protection. SO "shav-
ing the meadows deprives them of that ma
tural mulching which is such protection
against the drougkts ofsummer and the rigors
of witer

.. If you cut off of thrifty trees the growth

would force out the next years buds and gain
one year.

An interesting article recently appeared in
the London Bur Journal concerning the val.
ue of milk as a remedial agent in certain di.
seases. Several physicians of high standing
regard it as a specific for diarrhoea, dysen,
terry and incipient cholera. The milk should
not be boiled, but heated sufficiently to be
agreeably warm. II is also recommended as
of great value in typhoid fevers-as cooling
and nourishing, and as promoting sleep.
