THE recent change in the differ.
ences between carload and less than
carload rates by the lines east of the
Missouri River will neeessitate a COM
plete change in the Joint Western
Classification Committee as now con-
stituted. Heretofore the Joint West
ern Classification applied to all the
lines west from Chicago to the connec-
tons with the Southern and Central
Pacific Railroads. The new changes,
however, have been adopted only by
the lines between Chicago or St Louis
and the Missouri River and between
Chicago and st. Paul The lines west
of the Missouri River refused to make
the same changes. claiming that there
was no demand for it by the people
along the lines of their roads. This
necessitates the organization of two
Classification Committees, one for the
lines east of the Missouri and another
for the lines west of the river.

In reference TO Secretary Whitney's
order sending the Tennessee and Ga
lena to the Isthmus of Panama, the
Washington Star quotes naval officer
as saying: 1--WE haven't received the
bill for the burning of Aspinwall yet,
but it will be along this winter. and
there will be a howl raised. Damages
to the extent of a good many million
dollars were caused by the burning of
Aspinwall, and it looks very much as
if the Government would be compelled
to foot the bill. We guaranteed to
keep the transit open. Colombia
couldn't do it and in the event of its
failure, the responsibility rested on our
shoulders. We opened the transit, but
before that was done Aspinwall was
burned and millions of dollars worth
of property was destroyed. The peo-
pie who suffered will expect remunera-
ton and, as 1 said, will send the bill
TO u.s."

by the discovery of portions of the
bones of at least three persons under
the smoke house of a homestead be-

 Since the new law went into effect, and the foreign companies withdrew from the State, not company in New Hampshire will take a dollar on such property.

 The wild-beast pest but slowly disappears in British India. There is, however, a slight decrease in the loss of life from the bites of wild animals and venomous snakes The numbers are 22 905 for 1883 and g, ,425 for 1884. The numbers representing those due to snake bites are ,067 and 19, ,629 in the two years respectively. The reported loss of cattle amounted to 4s,672, against HATS in the previous year. Of these, 47,- 944 are said to have been caused by wild ami mals and l, 72S by snakes. Tigers and leop- ards are shown to have been about equally destructive, having killed 19,6 ,690 and 19.699 head of cattle respectively. In the number of wild animals destroyed there was satis- factory increase from 19, ,S90 in the previous year to 23, 775. The destruction of poison OBS snakes is enormous, but the numbers have declined from 412, 782 to s0,9S1.

THE MESSAGE.

We have been told that President Cleve- land was man of few words. Twenty thou sand is not 'ta few," and yet he takes twenty thousand words, more or less, to tell Con gress and the people what he thinks about ments which he thinks ought to be made. As life is short, and space in the JOURNAL AND COURIER is limited, we put before our readers this morning the most important parts of the message and omit that which is not of general interest.
 In his discussion of our foreign relations the President pays attention to the Chinese question He seems to be of the opinion that the Chinese must go, though he declares that all the powers of the government should be exerted to maintain the amplest good faith toward China in the treatment of those who have murdered Chinamen in Wyoming and Washington territories.
 Perhaps no part of the message will be read more eagerly and carefully than that which relates to tho tariff. This matter is treated very carefully and wisely. The President would like to see the burdens of the people reduced, but he does not think there is now any occasion for the general dis cussion of the wisdom or expediency of a protective system.
 The silver problem receives very full dis cussion, and the suspension of the compul- sorry coinage of silver dollars is recom- mended The reasons the President gives for this recommendation are very convincing.
 The Indian problem is wisely and humane ly treated, and what the President has to say concerning the public lands will meet the approval of all true patriots. Much in terest has been felt in what the message would say concerning the Mormons. Noth- ing could be more satisfactory or more to the point than this part of the message.
 The President is stiii civil service re- former, although he has done some things which looked the other way. We recommend our readers to pay careful attention to his remarks upon this topic. They are well worth reading and thinking of.
 On the whole the message will make a good impression. It is not brilliant or startling document, but it is thorough, straightforward and bold, and it's recon mendations will meet general approval. It is pity that it is so long.
