The Message.

The message OF President Arthur Of which a
full synopsis was published last week has met
with almost universal commentator. Those who
read the message transmitted by telegraph
could not fairly Judge of its literary merits 1t is
however, singuarly devoid of rhetorical fourishes
or attempts at fine writing, hut is PLAIN, pract-
cal business document. conservative in tone and
in all respects an admirable State paper The au-
sons to the death of President Garfield are very
pathetic ard show good taste and sincere feeling
The recommendations embodied in the message
were included in the synopsis already published
but the Presidents views with regard to the
finances will bear repetition. They are character
lied by the New York Herald as eminenty sound
and are summarized by that paper as follows: The
President advises the retirement of the silver
theates on the just ground that they are an I'M
necessary addition to the paper currency and that
any possible deficiency created by their with
drawai will be readily supplied by the national
banks. He advises, 1t the time, the repeal
of the law compelling the coinage OF two millions
of silver bullion monthly leaving the mint free to
coin silver only it is demanded by the public
for use Taking into account the immense surplus
revenue, WDlcn, II seems VIII amount to one hun
dred and thirty millions he recommends cautious
relief from taxation, and as we think wisely pre-
fers the repeal Of all internal revenue taxes except
those on whiskey and tobacco by way of begir-
ming. He suggests to Congress also. that it NAV
be possible TO reduce the taxes on whiskey and to-
bacco without seriously inpairing the revenue
Statistics prove him right in this for they show
that fifty cent tax on whiskey can be more com
pletely collected and will yield quite as much rev
enue as the present tax of ninety cents
In regard to the finances he makes the sensible
suggestion that unless the three and half per
cents can be refunded at much lower rate of in
terest than they now bear 1t is not desirable to
change them They are now call bonds and, as
he remarks, are available for the investment of
the surplus revenues without the payment of
premiums, and as at the present rate of surplus
revenues pay the entire national debt in ten
years it is clear that more would be lost by pre-
miums on the purchase of term bonds than could
be gained bg any possible lower rate of interest
We regret, says the Herald to see the Democrats
Fastening to bring in bills for refunding at three
per cent which have the aspect of being inspired
rather by spectators than by regard for the tax
payers.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will act mptly
upon the Presidents recommendations for abolish
ing stamp duties. Mr. j. Moore well known
writer on tariff questions, says the total abolition

interview with an actor friend of Booths who ex-
pressed the conviction that Booth shot himself
when he found that escape was Impossible.
The bottom has been knocked ont of the insan-

The assassin Is shown to be simply a thoroughly
bad. unprlncipled scoundrel, professional dead
beat aud svindler His insoence to witnesses and
counsel is quite in keeping with his character, and
should hasten his progress to the gallows. If
ever there was case in which no mercy and a
