THE SILVER QUESTION.
In pursuance of the policy of the govern
ment to maintain silver dollars near the gold
standard they were made receivable for all
customs, taxes and public dues. About $685.
O0O,OOO Of them are outstanding. They
formed an unnecessary addition to the paper
currency, as the current amount which may
readily be supplied by the National banks in
accordance with the act of February 2S, 1878.
is ample. The treasury department has
monthly caused at least $4,000, 900 in value of
silver bullion to be coined into standard dol
| lars. One hundred and two millions of these
dollars have already been coined, while
only about s34, 100000 are in circulation.
For the reasons which he specifies concur in
the secretary's recommendation that the pro-
vision for coinage of specified amount each
IuOubu Uc ICpCdeSQ duu tudt uCiCsltCI Ouly 30
much be coined as shall be necessary
| to supply the demand. The secretary
| advises that the issue of gold certifi-
Gates should not, for the present,
be resumed and suggests that the national
banks may be properly forbidden by law to
retire their currency except upon reasonable
notice of their intention to do SO. Such leg
islation would seem to be justified by the re-
| construction of certain banks on the occasion
| referred to in the secretary's report.
OF the $4,000, 600 of fractional currency
| still outstanding. only about $4,000 has been
redeemed the past year. The suggestion that
this amount may properly be dropped from

gestion of the secretary as to the advisability

rapid development of the newer states and ter
rtories, and the consequent demand for addi-
tional means of REORGANIZATION and ex-
change, during the past year 338 additional
money order Offices have been established,
making total of 5 400 IN operation at the
date Of this report. During the year
the domestic money orders aggre-
gated in value s10,507 ,596 SO. A mod
ification of the system IS suggested,
reducing the fees for money orders not exceed
ing S. from ten cents to five cents, and max
ing the maximum 500 in place of $50. Leg
lslation for the disposition of unclaimed
money orders in the possession of the post
office department is recommended, in view of
the fact that their total value exceeds ST.
900, ,0O0.
The attention of congress is again pointed
deposits in connection with the postofice de-
partment.
THE STAR ROUTES.
The statistics of mail transportation show
that during the past year railroad routes have
been increased in length 6,249 miles, and in
cost 81 ia 1852, while steamboat routes have
been decreased in length 2,1S2 miles, and in
cost $t34,054. The so-called star routes have
been decreased in length 1884 miles, and in
cost 1894, IA. Nearly all of the expensive
routes have been superseded. The cost of the
creased ia the western states and territories.
The postmaster general, however, calls atten-
tion to the constantly increasing cost of the
railway mail service as serious difficulty in
the way of making the department self sus-
tanning. Our postal intercourse with foreign
countries has kept pace with the growth of
the domestic service. Within the past year
several countries and colonies have declared
their adhesion to the postal union. It now
;unJudes all those which have an organized
postal service. except Bolivia, Costa Rica,
New Zealand, and the British colonies in
Australia.
AS has been already stated great reductions
have recently been made in the expense of the
star route service. The investigation Of the
department of justice and the postoffiee de-
partment have resulted in the presentation of
| indictments against persons formerly connect
| ed with that service, accusing them of often
ses against the United States. I have enjoined

results, and which in my opinion is likely, if
congress and the executive accord in its sup
port, to relieve us before long from the diff
entities which have hitherto beset us,
and resume the success Of the efforts now
making to introduce auong the Indians the
customs and pursuits of civilized life and
gradually to absorbsthem into the mass of our
citizens, sharing their rights and holding to
their responsibilities. There is imperative
need for Legislative action. My suggestion in
that respect will be chiefly such as has been
already called to the attention of congress and
have received to some extent its consideration.
First recommend the passage of an act
making the laws OF the various states and ter
ritories applicable to the Iudinn reservations
within their borders, and extended the laws of
the state of Arkansas to the Indian Territory
now occupied by the five civilized tribes. The
Indian should receive the protection of the
law. He should be allowed to maintain in
court his rights of person and property. He
has repeatedly begged for the privilege, and
its exercise would be very valuable to him in
his progress toward civilization.
Second of even greater Importance
Is the measure which has been fire.
in office, and in furtherance Of which
several bills have been from time to
time introduced in both houses of congress.
The enactment of general law permitting
the attachment in severalty to such Indians at
least as desire it OF reasonable quantity oi
land, secured to them by patent and for their
own protection made lnalienable for twenty
or twenty-five years, is demanded for their
present welfare and their permanent advance
ment. In return for such consideration on the
part Of the government there is reason to be-
lieve that the Indians in large numbers would
be persuaded to sever their triba
relations and to engage at once in agricultural
pursuits, and that it is now for their
best interests to conform their manner of life
to the new order of things. By no greater In
ducement than the assurance Of permanent
title of the soil can they be led to engage In
the occupation of tllling it. The well atfested
report Of the increasing interests in husbandry
justify the hope and belief that the enactment
Of such q statute as / recommend
would be at once attended with graft
flying results. Resort to the allotment system
would have direct and powerful influence in
dissolving tribal bonds, which is prominent
feature OF savage life, and which ledso strong

modification of treaties, should secure careful
regard for the interests and susceptibilities of
that government in the enactment of any
laws relating to Chinese immigration.
The clauses of the treaties whichsfoIbd the
participation of citizens or vessels of the Uni
ted States in the opium trade will doubtless
receive your approval and they will attest the
sincere interest OF our people and government
in the commendable efforts of the Chinese
government to put stop to this demoralizing
and destructive traffic. IN relation both to
China and Japan, some changrs are desirable
in onr present system of consular jurisdic-
tion. l hope at some future time to lay be-
fore you a scheme for its improvement in the
entire east.
The intimacy between our country and ia
pan, the most advanced of the eastern nations
continues to be cordial. am advised that the
Emperor contem plates the establishment of 9
constitutional government and that he has
already summoned a parliamentary congress
for the purpose of effecting a change. Such

and cautions scrutiny Of its working, that
fifteen years later it took it's present shape.
Five years after the issuance of the order by
the council and at time when resort had been
had to competitive examination as an experi-
ment, much more extensively than has yet been
the case in this country, select committee of
the house of commons made a report to that
house which while declaring its approval
Of the competitive method deprecated never
theless any precipitancy in its general adop-
tion as likely TO endapger it's ultimate success.
During this tentative period the result of the
petative examination was carefully scrutinized.
It may be that before we confire ourselves
upon this important question within the
stringent bounds of statutory enactment, we
may proftably await the result of further in
quiry and experiment. The submls-
sion of portion OF the nomina-
tions to central board OF
examiners selected solely for testing The quail
ifications of applicants may perhaps without
resort to the competitive test put an end to
the mischief which attends the present system
of appointment, and it my he feasible To vest
in such board wide discretion to ascertain
the characteristics and attaInments of candi-
dates in these particulars which / have al
ready referred to as being no less important
than mere intellectual attainment. II con-
press should deem it advisable at the present
session to establish competitive tests for ad-
mission to the service, no doubt such as have
been suggested shall deter me from
giving the measure my earnest support,
and urgently recommend, should there be
failure to pass anv other act on this subject,
that an appropriation of $25, 900 per year be
made for the enforcement Of section 1753 of
the revised statutes. With the aid thus offered
me shall strive to execute the provisions ,of
that Law according to the letter and spirit.
