An additional appropriation is asked
for to enable the Government TO make &
decent showing at. the Centennial Fair.
The attention of Congress is called to
the Iamentable state OF things on the
, Texas border.
With regard to the important matter
Of tsIecTaphic communication With
Europe tine President submits some well
disested views I'd statements which he
summarizes as follows:
FirSt-<o line should ~ allowed tu land

The fact that foreign-born people,
some of whom nsver having been in The
United States, live abroad and enjoy the
protection Of our flag by having in their
possession certificates of naturalization
which they have purchased or otherwise
become the holders of. is
; presented to Congress. Also. the at
e1t;on Of that body Is directed to the
act that We have 10 laws under which
my citizen Of this country may e1pa-
rate himself.
The necessity for return to specie
payments Is argued at length and with
much force. This, too, Is OF too much
TO be treated il a necessarily
arrow epitone. We shall aliude TO it

Certain measures OF legislation for
IL promotion OF the further efficiency
I the army are recommended. The
.2rd;t;on Of the navy is spoken of in
-er! encouraging terms. Our wooden

The Presidents views on the Postal
ystem are liberal and broad. Says he :
. In a country so vast in area rs the
nited States, with large portions
parsley settled, it must be expected
hat this important service will be more
II less q burd en- on the Treasury for
ONE years to come. This is equiva-
snt to saying that it ought to be-as it
ught.
On two subjects in which we Of the
ar West are all more or less interested,
lie President expresses himself in the
Glowing terms:
