rho general Congressional verdict i5 that

carl schurz declares that he didn't receive q
dollar for his services during the recent cam
paign. Well, there his statement stands.
Now let Mr.. Schurz speak out In clear voice
and tell us whether 1t was because he didn't
want AnNtllnE, OF inc ObmOCThlS ubClluou W
pay him anything htIddelphld Press.
President Atthurs last message Is simple
and unpretontlous discharge OF q duty which
the inattentlon OF Democrats In Congress,
even TO his most merltorlous recommends
tions In previous messages, may easily have
led him TO regard as mainly duty OF form.-

Tho New York Herald says to.day vPresl.
Sion to mention Will probably be his last, is an
unusually clear and succinet summary OF
topics OF National interest, and It's recommen-
dations and references entltle II to special con-
elderation at the hands OF Congress"
Concerning Secretary McCulloch's report the
Herald says: "lt is In discussing the silver
problem that the Secretary best shows his
hrm grasp OF economic principles. The coin.
age OF silver dollars and the issue OF silver
certificates must be suspended, unless the
country is TO be forced TO a silver standard.
Great as are the credit and resources OF this
country, II cannot alone sustain the value OF
silver"
Many OF the minor points considered By Sec
retary Mccullough Will deserve attention
hereafter. Ills report is able, crowded with
information, and In most respects deserving
OF high praise. But the existing lack OF conh'
dence IS so great that We soc with sincere re
gret those portions OF tho secretary's report
which may be regarded as threatening new
disturbance OF values By tariff agitation
