NATIONAL FINANCES
Alter summarizing Sbermau's rgpoct.
the President says: In the present Enans
cial condition of the country, l am per-
suaded that the welfare Of legitimate bust
ness and industry Of every description will
be best promoted by abstainiEg from 81!
TO make radical charges in the
existing financia. legislation. But let !. be
understood that during the coming ygar
the business ofthe country viii remain un-

with laws affecting it, and we may conn
IDENTIFY expect that the resumption ofspoui5
payments, which will take place st the ap-

THE JUDICIARY.
The creation Of additional Circuit
Judges is recommended as s. remedy for
the delay of justice and possible oppression
to suitors occasioned by the great increase
in the business of the Supreme Court, and
of the courts IN many of the circuits.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
The President Ioncurs in the recoiu-
mendation Of the Secretary Of War and
Interior that Congress provide f1r the or
ganization OF a corps Of mounted Indian
auXiliares to be under the control of the
army, and be used to keep Unruly Indians
on their reser sations, or repreSs distur-
Dances. This would weaken the restless
element among the Indians by giving a
number of young men congenial employ
ment and would aid the army in the task
for which its numerical strength is some
times found insufficient. The President
thinks, however, that although force must
occasionally be employed to prevent or re-
press Indian troubles, and q wise prep8ra-
ton should be made of that description,
great reliance must be placed upon
ciVilizing agencies for the ultimate solution
of the Indian problem. 1t is alike our duty
and interest to help the Indian attain the
highest degree OF civilization possible for
them, and past experience with many |
tribes affords great encouragement for the |
continuance of the civilizing process. The |
President expresses no opinion whether or |
not the control of the Indian serv ce should /
be transferred from the Interior to the War |
but hopes Congress in de- |
Gliding, the pending question Will not
overlook the considerations fabove indi- /
