Too liONE>r EY IlALF.-One dav about
three weeks ago. d. strange customer came
to Detroit grocer. He wanted some
goods aud he paid cash down. The hext
dav he made another purchase and paid
cash, and as The days went by his face and
his cash became familiar. One day he re-
turned with the change @i'en him and said
II believe | am an honest man. You
paid me twenty cents too much"
The grocer received it and was pleased.
Two days after the stranger returned from
the curbstone 10 say:
Another mistake on your part. You
oyCrpaid me forty cents"
The grocer was glad 10 have found an
honest man. and was puzzled to know he
should have counted SO far out of the way
Three days more, and the stranger picked
up dollar bill in the store, and said
''Th, is not my dollar. found it on the
floor and YOU must take charge of it,"
The grocer's heart melted and he WON
dered II the world was not progressing
backwards to the Old time honesty. A skip
of one day. and then the honest man
brought down a wheelbarrow and ordered
eighteen dollars worth of groceries. and
would have paid cash had he not forgotten
his wallet He would hand it in at noon
when he went past.
That was the last of the honest man
morning faded to noon, and noon melts
away In darkness, but he cometh not.
There are no more mistakes in change
no more dollar bills on the floor, and the
glocer's eyes wear way off expression az
| ii yearning to see some one for about two
minutes.

The report OF the Secretary of the navy

possible 10 rival the costly aud progressive
establishments of great European powers
with the old material OF our navy, to which
io increase has been authorized since the
war. except the eight small cruisers built
TO supply the places of those which had
gone TO decay. yet the most has been done
that was possible with the means at COM
mand and by substantially rebuldin :
some OF our old ships with durable mate

our monitor fleet our navy has been grad

not maintain its relative position among
the progressive navies of the world. il is
nov in a condition more powerful and tf-

peace.
The complete repairs Of our five heavy
irUn-clads are only delayed on account OF
the inadequacy of the appropriations made

exhibition Congress may provide for. For
this act Of generosity they should receive
the thanks of the people. and | respectful
| ly suggest that resolution OF Congress to
that effect be adopted.
| THE METHOD OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
| The attention of Congress cannot be too
earnestly called to the necessity of throw
| ing some greater safeguard over the meth
cd of choosing and declaring the election
of President. Under the present system
| there seems to be no provided remedy for
contesting the election in any one state
The remedy partially lies no doubt n the
eulghtment of electors, the compulsory
support of the free schools and the dis
| franchisement of all who cannot read and
write the English language after fixed
| probation. aud such remedy would meet
my hearty approval. | would not make
this apply, however, to those already vo-
tiers, but | would to all becoming so after
the expiration of the probation fxed upon.
Foreigners coming TO this country to be-
come citizens, who are educated in their
own languages, would acquire the requis-
ite knowledge of ours during the necessary
residence to obtain naturalization. Ifthey
did not take interest enough in our Ian
guage 10 acquire sufficient knowledge ofIC
to enable them to study the institutions and
! laws OF the country intelligently, | would
not confer upon them the right to make
such laws nor select those who do.

reference Il synopsis of administrative
events and of all recommendations to Con-
gress made by me during the last seven
years Time NAV show some of these re-
Communications not to have been wisely
conceived. believe the larger part will
be no discredit 10 the administration.
THE SAN DOMINGO SCHEME.
One Of these recommendations met with
the united opposition OF one political party
in the Senate and with a strong opposition
from the other, namely, the treaty for the
annexation of Santo Domingo to the United
States, to which | shall expressly refer,
maintaining ,aS do that ii my views had
been concurred in the cOuutry would be in
