SYNOPSIS OF THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-The Presi-
dent, in his message, holds the ground that
both silver and gold ought to be utilized in
the currency of the country, but he does not
agree with those who would undertake to
legislate that 80 or go cents worth of silver
shall pass or be receivable in place of 100
cents worth of gold. The public debt of the
country was contracted in the money of the
world, and with the understanding that it
should be paid, principal and interest, in the
money of the world. He does not, there
fore, favor any legislation that would force
the creditors of the United States to receive
in payment of what is due them any silver
currency worth less than par in gold. In
lief in the good policy of using both precious
metals, but he states his opposition to any
proposition that Congress shall exercise the
power given it by the Constitution to coin
way as to swindle the people. The Presi-
dent is in favor of making silver liberal
subsidiary coin, with legal tender limit
somewhat greater than at present, but he is
not in favor of making it an unlimited legal
tender
The New York World says: The Pref
dents messages most important features are
known to be
First-Opposition to the repeal of the re-
sumption Act, or TO any modification that
will delay specie resumption. He will state
that both the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Comptroller of the Currency believe that
the government and national banks can re-
sumo on the day named by law.
Second-He will favor the demonstration
of the silver dollar, with feed legal tender,
and legislation looking to conference with
other nations on the bimetalic standard
Third-He will indicate an earnest Mexi-
can policy and the protection of the Rio
Grande border, stating that he is about to
order there the increased force of cavalry
lately authorized by Congress.
Fourth-He will comment upon at length

RENO'S PENDING DOOM.

Like the Sodomites and Gomarribles, the
Renoites are trembling at the approach of the
avenging hand of DOOM Mercury Ohe god
of thieves) writes a communication to the
Reno Journal as follows:
EDITOR JoURNAL:-You are probably aware
| that Pyramid Lake is gradually filling up, say
one foot year. We all know that the lake
has no outlet, and therefore evaporation and
underground suction or channel are the only
means of emptying itself. Now the fact of its
rising foot year proves conclusively, with
out demonstration, that the underwater out
let is becoming clogged for the evaporation
of necessity remains the same, if it does not
increase with the increasing surface the water
attained. This position none will dispute. If
then the seepage is becoming clogged by the
sawdust and other sediment which finds its
way to the lake, the water must continue to
rise, and as the additional sediment will
still further retard the seepage, the water
will rise more rapidly each year. With the
Truckee river constantly flowing into Pyramid
Lake, and this, reinforced by the winters
storms and floods, will soon make the lake
encroach upon the surrounding country and
gradually wend its way Renoward, and in
time form lake here of like dimensions to
the ancient one-the traces of which are so
visible all around us. With two or three
hundred feet of water on top of this
valley it is plain it would not
offer very superior inducements to settlers.
If this section of country once held lake
which none will deny, who will see the evil
dences given by the washed boulders, and the
lack of vegetation-it stands to reason it can
again, and to accomplish this all that is neces-
sary is to stop the water outlets and the thing
is done. The yearly rising of Pyramid Lake
is proof that the damning is going on and al |
ready the dreadful encroachment has COM
menced.
