LEARNED TO EXPECT IT.
HarltOId CONranL

II is the sort of message the country has
learned 10 expect from President Arthur-
plain, frank, straightforward, business like,
with no attempt at fine writing or nonsense of
any kind. Readers who find it too long
ought, in common justice, to remember that
this is Il very great country, that the task of
opitomizing its history for even single
twelve month is no easy one, and thCt the
Constitution makes it the duty of the citizen
i'll the White House to, not only " frorn time
to time give to the Congress informa tion of
the state of the UniOn," but also to recon-
mend to their consideration such measures as
he shall judge necessary and expedient."

TIE EGoTIsM OF ELLIS ROBERTS.
The Llicn Herald.

The message has in many respects sugges-
tive resemblance to the editorial arguments
and appeals Of Republican journals like tho
Utica Herdid, in months gone by While
newspapers may be sneered at it is to be hoped
that the executive recommendation will stir
Congress up to reduce taxation, to bring the
mails nearer in cheapness and efficiency to
every citizen to overthrow the spoils system
to prevent political assessments upon the in
cumbcnts of national offices, and to carry the
spirit which such measures illustrate into
every matter Of legislation. And the people
viii watch to see whether Mr.. Arthur really
means to do what he talks. Or will he keep
ou ri;almg that English king who had the
c".6it Of never saying foolish thing and
meyer doing a wise one. For in the main,
80" arthur, in this paper, uses the language
c& ratr!otism and discretion. Can he lift his
l.Gndard of action to the same plane?

INTERESTING.
Cincinnati Times. star.

Unlike most State papers, the message
which President Arthur sent to Congress yes
terday is intcro sting. 1t is well worth read
ing from bcgin ling to end. The President Mt
his best is vigorous writer. He uses plain,
strong language, and it is easy to understand
exactly what he means. There are in certain
portions of the message confidence of tone
and force of expression that show the Presi-
dents apprecia lion of his duties and privi-
leges as a coordinate branch of the law-mak-
ing power, and that proves also his thorough
sincerity and his genuine interest in the sub
iects discussed.

AN ABLE DOCUMENT.
Ohm State .Jntirnu1

Taken all in all, the message is an admirable
document. Calm practical, dignifted, and
conservative, it does not cvade questions of
policy ON which there is difference of opinion
nor hesitate to pronounce clearly IN favor of
such reforms as are demanded by enlightened
public opinion, The document will increase
the reputation Of the President for patriotism,
and wise craftsmanship and if Congress will
approach the suggestions of the rnessage in
the same spirit in which they are made, and
consider them earnestly and industrlously, it
will be well for the country if they are able
To reach the same conclusions in the main as
those Of the Executive.
National Republican., 1882-12-07
vIGoR OF LANGUAGE.

President Arthur has evidently given much
careful study to the production of such an ad-
mirable message as that which he sent to Con-
gress on Monday last. By no means lengthy
documents it covers more ground and in u
more business-like manner than any similar
document in recent times. With a planness
and vigor Of language unexcelled in our best
State papers, it maintains firmness and dig
nifty in the manner of it's recommendations
made to Congress which ought to command
respectful, if not prompt attention.

POISED, PRACTICAL, DIRECT.

Chicago Morning Nelrs.
The Presidents message is both long and
terse.
Its length, in view of the fact that each sub
icct is treated with almost uneXamplcd brevity,
illustrates the magnitude of the empire and
the diversity Of the interests with which the
National Exec utive has to deal.
As n whole, the document brings into pretty
clear light the fact that the Presidents policy
is the "let-alane policy.
1t is free from an itching to do something
shining and rcsplcndent.
1t is poised, practical, and direct.

COMMENDED FOR ITS soUNDNEss.

I-TtTTHY
President Arhur's message, while not rated
as literary production along with that of
last year, is nevertheless widely commended
for the soundness cf its suggestions, its mod
Grafton Of language, and its favor to all the
best ideas now current. Reduction of internal
revenue taxation such modification of oul:
tariff as the Commission proposes, the dvorc
from the river and hurbor bill of all Jobs
making appropriations separately, so that cac h
shall stand on its merits civil-service reform,
and the stuppagc of political assessments
None doubt the absolute sincerity of the
President or the wisdom of his many suggcs-
tions. If Congress will only embody these
IN law it will do good work.

HEROIC TREATMENT.
Roeta,, Tro,,oIIor

There is nothing perfunciory or common
place In the message which President Arthur
yesterday addressed to the dying Republican
Congr sss. 1t is more than the usual review
of the past years events, and the accustomed
prospectus of the coming years work. Dig
nifed in its dction, and temperate in its tone,
it is, nevertheless, full of merciless logic and
stern conclusions. 1t is an heroic treatment
of desperate party situation.

A PANORAMIC VIEW.

The second annual message of President
Arthur to Congress, published in full here
with, is an able State paper, and one which
no citizen with any pretentions to intelligence
can afford to slight. 1t presents panoramic
view of the whole government, its foreign re-
lations and domestic affairs, its good points
and its weak ones, wherein it is worthy of all
commeildation, and wherein it is open to i'm
provement.

WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO ABOUT IT.

! The message as a whole is composed in a
spirit of patriotism, justice and economy, and
Congress could in no other way make so good
a record and win such popular applause as by
carrying out its recommendations and re-
turning to the people in the shortest possible
length of time.

AN UNNA ATURALIZED ENGLIsHMAN's VIEW.
bnrLsgion Means nnd (C,Jrjrr

Talzinfit altogether the message will not
desire Cfthe President is to stand well with
both fhgs of his party, and he will not be
thank n by either. One thing that can he
said IN favor of the message is that it is
consct tative in tone. Another remark that
can VI safely made is that the President is
conscious of his inability to grasp with states
mnnlikc force the political and economic
questions which he feels himself constrained
to discuss. 1t would have been far better in
every way 10 make the message as short as n
speech from the throne in England, but the
President is evidently unable to state clearly
aud torsely the principles which should govern
the action Of Congress.

HENRI wATTERsoN's OPINION.

On the whole, the message of President
Arthur is unobectiOnable, but it is also COM
mOnplaCe. 1t contains nothing to arouse any
serious antagonism and nothing to redeem
past failure. His recommendations are on
the whole, excellent; the tone of his message
is bipartisan, and it will be read by all the
people without any serious dsapproval from
any quarter.

From this brief and imperfect review of the

A MAN OF BROAD VIEWS.

The President sent strong and statesman
