We submit President Hayes mes
sage without room for extended editO-
rial comment. We Interpret the finan-
cIal portion Of 1t to say that he is In
favor of enforcing the resumption law
as It stands, in favor of paying all
government bonds In gold, and OPP
posed to the reconciliation OF silver,
except on the basis OF gold valuation,
which Is, of course, the same IS gold
itself, and is therefore In. favor Of pay
ing all debts In gold. He claims that
the success Of his southern policy Is al
ready practically demonstrated BY the
cessation of outrages, desires 70 revive
Grants civil service bureau TO aid In
tie work OF civil service reform, and
presents, on the whole. q very compre-
hensive and interesting message, the
longest because Of Its being also COM
pendulum of department reports since
Abraham Lincoln's message OF Deem
Der, 1861. The tone throughout is as
ssamiably stubborn" as President
Hayes character Is said TO be, and he
has for the first time defined what he
understands the word specie to mean,
viz, gold, and gold only. It is time
that the juggling use OF the term "spe-
Gle" be dropped, and gold spoken
plainly, and we are glad that Hayes
hes done this, for 1t viii greatly aid
the people to understand the financial
policy Of hts administration. In that
policy, at least, he will receive the
combined and active support of all the
monied influences OF this country and
Europe, through ali grades and classes
OF society, and this immense material
support will suffice to Withstand most
any probable amount OF popular dis
content or opposition either from the
party which opposed his election or
the dlsaffected portion OF the party
that supported him. Whatever may
be ultimate results OF the "coming
strug gle," it looks as IL the President
will have little difficulty In maintain
ing his policy In force until Jan. LIST,
1879, either demonstrates It's success or
It's impracticabilIty. And We submit
that in his financial and civil service
policies 1t least he IL standing up In
good faith for what nearly all the peO-
pie OF the United States have been de-
handing, and his southern policy is
approved by the democratic party and
Justified by most OF the republican par
ty as q necessary, If not entirely sue
cessful, experiment. Substantially
then, President Hayes message ex-
presses the views which the people of
the United States, through the medium
OF their two great political parties,
demanded in 1876 should be carried
into effect, and he can justly claim to
be consistent both with his pledges,
and with the prevailing public senti-
ment of the presidential canvass which
ekulted In his election.

kilograms, last week, to come to
Washington and prevent the demo-
Gratis gaining control Of the Senate,
that he could not afford to neglect

he was the rich man of Nevada, and

Mr.. Bland says that the amend
ment adopted by the Senate FL
nance Committee makes the silver
bill worse than no bill at all, and he
does not think the House will pass
1t with those amendments, even If
the Senate does. Senator Jones will
try to have them stricken out in the
Senate, but 1t is not probable that
he will succeed. If the House is in
real earnest on the silver question,
it will undoubtedly stand by BIand's
bill just as 1t passed it, and 1t can af-
ford to go before the people on that
issue.
