THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


Tie president message is document
which does not reveal any great degree
Of craftsmanship III its author, but 1t
has the rare merit OF being confined to
matters in which the people are directly
interested. 1t Is by no means prolific of
suggestions 20 congress, nor does it treat
Of visionary schemes, which so often
Ienethen ont these addresses without con-
tributing 20 their value. The portion of
the message which will be read with the
greatest interest and which will provoke
the widest comment, Is that relating to
the south. Not that the suggestions of
the president are marked by any origin
ality or that the facts which he cites con-
vince any unprecedented person that re-
sort to the old policy Of executive inter
ference is essential to the enforcement of
the constitutional amendments in the
south But they are the expression of a
willingness to abandon the principles
promulgated by the president in his in
augural address. The president in this
portion of his message virtually announ-
ces his intention to bring his pacifcato-
" policy to q termination and his deter
mination to aid by the influence Of his
position the extreme wing of the repub-
lican party in perpetuating sectional dis
cord. 1t is pronouncirg the Shibboleth
which gives him fellowship with the
stalwarts.
The records Of the elections in Louis
lana and South Carolina (which impel
the conclusion that the rights of the col
ored voters have been oyerriden, are
based upon a comparison with records"
which were the product of corruption and
the result Of the intimidation of United
States troops. Democratic majorities in
Louisiana were impossible when the
''records" were manipulated by republi-
can returning boards If the president
were really DESTROYS Of Furnishing the
perpetrators Of wrong which prevented
honest suffrage, the elections OF 1876
gave him ample opportunity. But he
accepted an office secured to him by evils
more grieyous than those Of which he now
complains and instead Of furnishing the
wrong doors rewarded them with Office.
The president finds it unnecessary to
treat fully Of national finances as Secre-
tary Sherman's report IS mastery ex-
position OF that subject and whatever
facts the president gives are really re-
production Of the secretary's report.
His remarks on military affairs are a syn
opsis of McCrary's report. The same is
true of the navy and Indian affairs.
His remarks on agriculture are preem-
1nel.- --rrd The development of the
vast unoccupied territory or the .,.,siar, ia
something in which every citizen is in
tcrested and there can be no doubt that
those internal improvements which tend
TO make available the uncultlyated lands
Of the west, are most deserving Of the
attention of congress.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

THE Shawano Journal advises demo-
cratic legislators not to hold any caucus
for the nomination of q candidate for the
United States senate, but to support
Matt. Carpenter after obtaining his
pledge not to pursue the same course
Angus Cameron did. We cordially in
dorse the views Of the Journal, in all
but requiring the pledge. If Carpenter
pledged himself to do as Cameron did,
his strength of character would not allow
him to follow IN that nonentity's foot
steps.
Democrats should unite with Carpen-
ter's republican friends and thus elect
man, who viii be credit to the state,
and who has independence enough to re-
fuse to be entirely owned by party.
Democrats have more to hope from the
election of Matt. Carpenter, than from
the election of any other man whom it
is possible to elect as the successor of
Howe Carpenter will not be nominated
by the republican caucus. That fact the
present sufficiently foreshadows. But
there may be enough of his republican
friends who have more regard for Car
penter personally, than they have for
caucus dictation, whose strength added
to the "solid" democratic vote may be
sufficient to elect Carpenter. IF this
would not be a democratic victory. it
would at least be a triumph over ultra
republicanism. Let the idle form of 4
caucus be dispensed with, or at least let
it be understood that the caucus nomin-
alton will interpose no obstacle to the
support of Carpenter, if circumstances be
such as to make his election probable.

Perhaps the ablest document ever is
sued from the treasury department of
the United States, is the late report of
Secretary Sherman. 1t is q full and
complete answer TO almost every question
that could be put, in relation to the ma
tion's financial condition. The secretary
shows conclusively that free coinage of
silver with the present value of the sill
yer dollar maintained will result in the
csh, blishment of single metallic stand
ard, and that silver. The bimetalists
seem dcsn0us to have gold retained as
standard, but i IS clear to every one who
gives the subject any thought. that gold
will he entirely driven from circulation
by tie less valuable metal. Is the law
1T present stands, there can not be more
than $1,000, geo nor less chan 100000
per month coined. It is quite clear that
in time this will give 50 much silver coin
IN the country that it cannot be main
tanned ut par with gold. In view of this
fact the secretary earnestly requests
congress to place limit on the amount
of silver to be coined. He does not urge
any attempt at present, to bring the sill
Yer aud the gold coin to parity in COM
mercial value, deeming it wiser to limit
the issue Of the silver dollar and when
the relative value Of metals assumes a
fXitv. then to change the rau3 so that
the values may more nearly approximate.
There is every probability, however, that
q determined effort viii be made to Sc
cure free coinage. Should this be sue
cessfu. it would be the most utter folly
TO maintain the ratio of yaluo already
existing between these coins.
One other suggestion Of the secretary.
congress should act upon immediately.
The present methcd OF funding bonds
bearing n higher rate OF interest into
bonds bearing = less rate. Called bonds
are advertised months before they are
paid and cancelled. The secretary does
not advertise the bonds for redemption
before q sufficient amount IS subscribed
in bonds Of less interest as fund for the
payment Of the called bonds, and rs in
terest is paid on both classes of bonds
for those three months, it raises the in
terest on the amount 70 10 per cent for
the time. The Puor mentioned this
fact some few weeks ago aud showed
then that the funding of the debt il bonds
drawing low rate Of interest resulted in |
little or no saving to the government. |
The secretary says that there is 10 occa-
sion FOR giving three months notice and !
suggests that L be lea discretionary with /
him, limiting him &c ten days and three
months, rs minimum AID maximum.
lie deems no change in the lsv neces-
sary to empower him to direct that aftef
the first OF January next national cursen-
g wall be receivable for all dues to the
government. lie shows clearly the in
convenience which would resuls from re
curing custom duties to be paid in gold,
as at present. He insists that custom
duties should not be paid in anything but
in gold when United States notes are uos
redeenable in coin at the option of the
holder.
He is opposed to the issuance of coin
certificates when United States notes are

THE Secretary of war has made his an
nual report to the President. It treats
of Indian and Mexican troubles, yellow
fever, use of the army as a posse comita
tus internal improvements and many
other things. The Secretary is of the
same opinion as Gen. Sherman regarding
the Indians, that an army sufficiently
large to awe them, should be kept in
their country, and that they should be
taught to become herdsmen and through
this husbandmen. The report is particu-
larly severe on the law of Congress pro
hibiting the employment of soldiers for
any purpose other than provided for by
the constitution or the laws of congress.
Had not the power which the president
had over the army during Grants admins
tration been abused, the law complain ed
Of would never nave been passed. Under
the circumstances the law was a necessity,
and prevented military government. A
great deal should be left to the discretion
Of the president, but the events of the
past prove the folly of giving him unre-
stricted power oyer the army.

RUscoE CoNKLING, from present APP
pearances, viii be the next republican
nominee for president. In 1876, Conk-
ling was a representative of Grantism
and on that account would not be as
strong candidate as Hayes. But he
has been gaining popularity lately and
he is now one OF the most available men
on the republican side He is one of the
"stalwarts, - and his hostility to the south
is not diminished by time. Blaine is
placed in his ''little bed" In 1876 he
viewed the promised land, which like
Moses of old was not to be his.

An author named Busch has got himself
and Bismarck into peck of trouble by
writing bookon the Germ III Chancellor,
reproducing speeches OF Bismarck in his
eariy days, rejecting on the royal family

forcing the prince to make satisfaction
l:y making public disavowal of the speech
es with which he is credited in the work,
and some Of the young Germans whose
families are ridiculed talk OF the code

IT is said that number of proposals
will be made during the present session
Of Congress to amend the Constitution.
The Constitution WAS virtually ahnliehAd
aided by some of the corrupt judges of
the Supreme Court. The constitution is
a dead letter, something to be treated
with contempt when it stands in the way
OF party success. All respect for the con-
stitution and the Supreme Court is gone.
We have turned back the hands of the
clock, and are living over again the time
before constitutional governments came
into vogue. The party in power is now
the constitution and revolution is the
court Of last appeal. Amend the consti-
tuition indeed, As well try TO infuse life
into corpse.
