THE MESSAGE.

In the performance of his constitu.
tional duty President Arthur last
Tuesday submitted to Congress his
annual message upon the condition
of the country. he document is
forcible and terse, at the same time
giving to each subject the considera
ton which its present Importance de
mands. While adopting many ofthe
made by the heads of the
different departments in their annual
reports, he also presents many of his
own. which will command close
attention.
Fully appreciating the foul blot
which Mormonism makes upon our
national honor, he goes perhaps
further than did his predecessor in
recommending means To check its
growth. His recommendation that
existing laws upon the subject, which
he considers to have failed of their
purpose, be repealed, and that Con.
gress assume entire political control
of affairs in the Territory, will meet
with the warm approval of all who
desire to see this evil eradicated.
In order that the water supply OF
the Northwest may be maintained.
he recommends that measures be
adopted for protecting the forests,
which contribute to that supply. and
thinks that but those bodies of land
upon which these forests are situated

older States, notably in New York,
there is much apprehension on this
score because of the wholesale de.
struction of forests. and with their
experience it is wise that the inter

MANY of the prominent citizens OF

men who are set free from the pris.

freed, society turns from them. work

Of the lnurderous villains was an English

life is the necessity of taking hired men, of
whom nothing is known, into the farmers
family. These may be bad characters, or
even escaped convicts and we cannot but
think that farmers should aim at getting re
spectacle married laborers to reside on Their.
farms. TO this end one or more cottages
would have to be built on the farm, each
having yard fenced in. and the stipulated
rent Of cottage and yard should be part of
the laborer's pay. Cotters in Britain are Il
valuable class, and very trustworthy Their
aid is far moro valuable than that Of tramps,
