FULL ABSTRACT OF A L1HaTEE zIA-E
DOCUMENT.


condition OF the country dwelis at length
upon its rapid growth, our national prosper
ity, oar bountiful crops and sound financial
system, and predicts still greater prosperity
for the future. Mr.. Hayes incidentally al
ludes to the growth Of education throughout
the country and to the necessity Of fostering
it by proper legislation; and in reviewing
the report Of the commissioner on education
gives some details OF plan approved by him
Tor the further development OF educational
facilities.
The Southern question is treated at con-
siderable length. The writer expresses sat
istaction with the outlook of affairs in the
Southern States. He believes that the
South is steadily advancing III the direction
of political freedom and liberation, and that
before long the ballot in that section viii be
as free as in the North He also expresses
the belief that the era Of biOOdshrd on ac-
count Of political differences has passed, and
points TO the fact that there IS now less in
timidatiOn and violence in the South than
was prGcticed few years ago. The blood
shed era has been succeeded BY an era of
fraud and representation through tissue
ballots and other devices of misrepreseEting
the real strength and disposition OF the col
Ored man, but while he Is cheated in this
way. his physical rights are beginning to be
almost universally respected. The next
stage in Southern development will soon
come. This viii arise through divisions in
the white ruling element, and when these
divisions come the negro will be an object Of
ties. Through this division something like
an honest ballot will be secured and the
rights of all respected. lie thinks that edu-
cation in the South viii ultimately restore
harmony between the two sections and raise
the negro to a plane Of development where
be will be able TO protect himself.
Upon the Mormon question Hayes uses
plain language, and urges Congress TO Adopt
such measures as viii secure the speedy abO-
litiOn of that evil. lie SAYS the fact that so
large a community has been permitted to
live in open defiunce of tue laws Of the
United States and of morality Is q national
disgrace, and one that should be remedied
without delay. Congress IS called upon 10
give early and earnest attention TO this sub
ject, that -he people of Utah may he requir-
ed TO conform TO the same laws and regula-
tons that govern the rest Of the country.
lie suggests 20 Congress that If there Is no
way JI reaching polygamists under the pre-
sent organization Of the territory, its entire
system Of local government should be reor-
gauIZet, with view OF providing 4 swift
and speedy method Of prosecuting and pro-
perry Furnishing all who persist in practicing
pulygamy.
The next subject discussed is civil service
reform, ana furuisLaa one Of The longest
chapters in the message. The financial
chapter is the only other one that approaches
it in length Mr.. Hayes believes in APP
pointing good men and continuing them IN
Office during good behaviour. He believes
also in separating government services from
ject and points 10 illustration TO the I'M
proYement made IN the administration of the
New oTE custom house and the New York
post Office.
He then fakes up tIe subject Of our for
eign relations as presented 10y the State
Department and reviews the condition Of
affairs existing between this government and
Leading foreign Governments. There are
taEee subjects thar are outside Cf the routine
report of pleasant relations with other C0un-
tries. The part relating to England giges
the current history of tHa North American
fisheries question, and repeats ,Ge views i'm

last spring. which, Iu effect, recommended
the restoration of the duty or fish and fish

of State in regard to improving our CONNER
CIal relations by the cooperation OF the
entire consular service as agents in prCmut-
ing the interests OF American commerce. are
earnestly commended TO the attention of
Congress. The full reports of tHr iuyestigE-
tons of our cOH-uis and the better channels
Indicated by tbeE. for profitable commerce
are used to recommend legislation for the
development Of oar merchant marine

does approve Of giving liberal mail contracts

he thinks through an urW!se policy is need
