The Presidents Message

Upon he style of the Exec
utiye Message no words need
be wasted. 1t betrays none of
the serious thought and patient
care which a nation like ours
has a right to look for in the
annual communication Of its
Chief Magistrate to the Nation
al Legislature. The bombas-
'tic, historic opening is poor
stuff, even tor bombast, and will
carry its author but a little way
on its weak back. Nor is it Of
much more importance TO know
what the President thinks Of
he coming than Of the past
century OF the National exis-
tence. The Des Moines inco-
herency is injected as a stump
speech into the head Of The Mes
sage, as if Congress ought to
looh after popular education in
the States rather than the do
ings Of Washington and Whis-
ky Rings. That au immense
sum total of church property
groes untaxed IN The country is
true enough, and has long been
known in al its numerical en0r-
nifty; but just what the Fed
eral Government has to do with
the correction Of the growing
evil is not plain in the light Of
existing circumstances. The
Message ends abruptly, very
much as if its author were writ
ing it in pencil or when in haste,
to meet a waiting personal en-
gagenent. The most impor-
tant oi It's suggestions, howev-
er, is the propriety Of placing
Il statesman in the Executive
office who will devote his time
and thought to the welfare of
the country, without any Of
these mwelcome symptoms in
al official address of preoccu-
patton and haste. The people
will supply what the Message
hurriedIy omits.

Married in the Snow.

4 writer tells a story Of &
runaway couple who reached
the p lrson'S house at the dead
OF night, when the snow lay on
the ground and the winter winds
hoWled an anthem for the we'd
ding march. They succeeded
in aroueing the parson, who had
been snugly tucked in his warm
bed for several hours. The
good man reluctantly raised the
window and asked "who was
there" With chattering teeth
the would-be bridegroom an
nounced his GRAND. Not even
the piety Of the parson preven-
ted his uttering a few impatient
grOWls at this unreasonable in
terruption of his dreams. He
did not tarry to put on the we'd
ding or any other garment, but
in laundering tones ordered the
couple to stand well off in the
moonlight and to clasp hands.
Then he demanded their names.
"John Williams" said he, ''do
you swear in the presence Of
God. as you will answer i'm the
day Of Judgment, that you will
take Eliza Catherine to be your
own, your true and your only
wife, and that you will freeze to
her as long as both shall live?"
The promise was given but the
cold was SO intense that the la
dy was spared the question that
had been given and answered
by the man. II pronounce you
man and wife and the biggest
fools that I ever metw conclud-
ing this brief and all sufficient
ceremony; the banging Of the
closing window intimated to
the loving pair that they had
nothing more to expect from
that quarter, and they soon dis
appeared, wondering at the
strangeness Of the situation, and
yet doubtful if they were as
much married as they might
have been under more favorable
circumstances.

A Haven of Unrest.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Bishop Gilbert Haven, of the
Methodist Church North, has
done a very indiscreet and very
indefensible thing. He has de-
monstrated most emphatically
that he understands neither the
political nor religious proprie-
ties of his relations, and in the
dramatic attempt at sensation
al nomination for the Presiden-
cy has damaged. according to
his best ability, himself, his can
didate, and his church.
With singular indebtedness,
at the very moment that the
President is sending to Con-
gress a grave and we'll digested
message warning the country
of the dangers which threaten
it from cecil siasliyal ambition
and aggression, Bishop Haven,
himself an ccclesiastic, and one
Of vast power and influence, if
his church organization amounts
to anything, in a religious con-
yention called together profess
edly for religious purposes, was
engaged in making a political
nomination to the first Office in
the Nation.
Had Cardinal McCloskey in
an Episcopal Convention Of hl~
Church nominated Judge Kel-
ly or Governor Carroll for the
Presidency the uproar all over
the land would have been ire
mendous. That an cutlery from
East to West is not heard over
Bishop Hayen's poIitico-reli-
gious venture is simply because
his action does not carry the
weight that. Dir. McCloskcy's
would have done, and is not,
therefore, felt to be practically
as dangerous. It's improperly
and mdecorousness, however,
we have no doubt will be re-
buked by nearly every reSpec-
table journal in the country
What the people most unmis-
takably will resent and punish
promptly, and III every section,
is ecclesiastical interference
with our politics, be the hierarch /
Roman Catholic, Buddhist, Meth |
odist, Pagan, Presbyterian Or
