three topics at least will be largely dwell
upon by tine President IN his coming
message 10 Congress. These three
topics will embrace the public school
question. the finances and the condition
OF Affairs IN Cuba. Senator Morton,
who has been in the city for the las,
week CT so. is responsible IN a large de-
gree for the President assuming a posi-
lion upon the school question in the
coming message. He has been persuad-
ing the President that he must assume
the position of G!adstons in England
and Bismarck in Germany and come out
against the growing demands of Ca.holi-
cism. There ia but one thing 70 be said
about tine Presidents Cuban policy. aud
this can be said. by the high heat authority,
he will rot talk Of wsr or the possibility
of war in his message. but will urge
strongly the Justice OF recognizing the
rights of the bslligerent Cubans. He
has made up his mind that he will carry
his point in this regard. with the aid of
Congress. If he can; ard. if not, with
out its aid. In the absence of Congress
the Constitution gives him power to act.

one more opportunity to take the re-

President hopes to reach position Of
popularity that will cause the people to
forget the many sins OF the Admiuistra-

reign. Standing upon the platform
given above. he is certainly the strong

third term was never stronger than it 10
now among nen whose positions make
their opinions worthy of attention. The
annual message. which is now in prepa-
ration under the advice and assistance
OF Senator Morton, is being shaped upon
the idea that Grant is the only man who
can save the party and. consequently,
the country.
The foregoing is queer and fantastic
medley Of facts, deductions and fancies
When the sky is heavily overcast, and
dampness fills the afr and the telltals
mercury in the barometer is low, the
unavoidable guess is that it is going to |
rain. The President having Of late 10 |
signally indicated his views concerning
the school-Iuss.ion and the question of |
Free Cuba. not even a Washington |
writer Of special dispatches need to be
inspired with the gift Of rrophesy to
toreteli that the Presidents message
will discuss those subjects in very de-
cided and unequivocal fashion. And As
TO his views upon the financial plight |
of the country. are they not contained
in the volume Of his message to the
