I'm the slopes Of the volcano Of San
Salvador. In Central America, exists =
curious intermittent spring. IL Is
known 10 the natives Of the country As
the Rio Huido. or fugitive river. Dur
ing seven consecutive years suficient
water flows from It TO form a veritable
river, when, at q fixed time, the water
suddenly disappears, and the bed OF the
river becomes dry and dusty. Al the
end OF another period OF seven years the
water again commences now from the
spring. A period Of dow covered the
years from 1896 TO 1873. and was sue
ceeded by a period Of dryness from 1879
TO 1880. In January Of this year tho
water promptly reappeared. The pheno-
menon is not new, but the length Of the
period Of intermittence and its regular
ity are remarkable in the present inst,
ance.

bodies TO render the similarity more
striking.

THE MESSAGE.

ADVANTAGES OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Following is the
presidents message, delivered to congress to-
day:
Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: / congratulate you on the continued
and increasing prosperity of our country. BY the
favor of Divine Providence we have been blessed
during the past year with health and abundant har-
vests, with profitable employment for all our
people, with contentment at home and with
friendship with other nations. The occurrence of
the twenty fourth election of chief magistrate has
afforded another opportunity to the people
of the United States to exhibit to the
world significant example of the transmits
sion of the power and authority of government
from public servants, whose terms of office about
to expire, to their newly chosen successors. This
example cannot fail to impress thoughtful people
of other countries with the advantages which re-
publican institutions afford. The immediate gen
cral and cheerful acquiescence of all good citizens in
the result of the election gives gratifying assur-
ance to our country and its friends throughout the
world that government based on the free consent
Of intelligent and patriotic people possesses elements
OF strength, stability and permanency not found in
any other form of government.

POPULAR EDUCATION.

POPULAR EDUCATION.
ITS NECESSITY TO THE FULL. ENJOYMENT OF CON
STTTUT1ONAL RIGHTS.
It is not, however, to be forgotten that the best
and surest guarantee of the primary rights Of citi
zenship is to be found in that capacity for sepro
lection which can belong only to people whose
right to universal suffrage is supported by personal
education The means at the command of local and
State authorities are in many cases wholly made
quate to furnish free instruction to all who need it.
THIS is especially true where before emancipation
the education of the people was neglected or pre-
vented in the interests OF slavery. Firmly con-
yinced that the subject of popular education
deserves the earnest attention of the people
of the country, with a view to wise
and comprehensive action by the government of
the United States, l respectfully recommend that
congress, by suitable legislation and with proper
regulations, supplement the local educational funds
in several States where duties aud responsibilities
of citizenship have been devolved on uneducated
people, by devoting to the purpose grants of the
public lands, and if necessary BY appropriations
government can do to provide free popular educa-
ton, ought to be done. Wherever general educa-
ton is found peace, virtue aud social order prevail
and civil and religious liberty are secured.

POLYGANIY.

IMPORTANCE OF IT'S SUPPRESSION.
It is the recognized duty and purpose of tie peo-
pie of the United States to suppress polygamy
where 1t now exists in territory and to prevent
made by the United States officers IN Utah to en-
force the laws against it. Experience has shown
that legislation upon this subject to be effective
quires extensive modification and amendment.
The longer action is delayed the difficult will
be to accomplish what is desired: Prompt and de-
tartan organization which upholds polygamy
has the whole power of making and executing the
local legislation Of the Territory BY its control of

power Of the Territory. they are able to make ef-

present financial situation of the United States,
whether considered with respect to trade, cur
rency, credit, growing wealth, or the extent and
variety of our resources, is more favorable than
that of any other country of our time,
and has never been surpassed by that
of any country at any period of its history. All
