We have not time or space 10 make more tn an
passing reference 20 the msnv important ST ate
nents and recon m. nd atoms of the Presidents
message. Naturally the reader will irst seek
the portion relating TO our difficulties with
Spain. The President makes clear expo
sition of the cause of these difficulties,
tracing it TO the existence of slavery in Cuba.
and the INSTRUMENTATION of the pro slavery and
aristocratic party in the home republican rule
The American people will heartily second the
hope expressed by the President that in the in
terests of humanity and progress this evil in
fuence may be soon diverted.
The various recommendations to Congress in
regard to SPECIAL subjects for legislation are
Learly all OF frst-class importance, and 1t is to
he hoped they will not be overlooked As pre-
vious suggestions in Executive messages have
been by that body.
