CoNGREss convened on the first
Monday in December as usual and
the President sent in his message,
which was read and referred to ap-
prOpriate committees. The message
discusses a variety OF subjects.
Among the most prominent are
southern abuses, civil service sys-
tenn, polygamy, foreign relations.
new treaties with China, the army
and navy, specie payment, postal
and Indian affairs, public lands,
education, and district of Columbia.
The President presents his opinions
on these subjects in a strong and
forcible manner. The message is
quite lengthy, occupying ten columns
of an ordinary newspaper. The
most striking item relates TO pOlyg-
amy, which the President asks con-
gress TO extirpate, even at the cost OF

Utah. The most prominent finan-
cial recommendation is the recoinage
of the hoard of silver dollars with
sufficient bullion to bring them TO

the remainder of the public lands to
create a fund for educating the illit-
crate of all sections. The President
