THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message Is d plain, straightforward, business document, touching all points of National interest and devoid of all unnecessary verbiage and spread eagle. Everything he says is not, of course, acceptable to this Terri
 tory-nQtably, in the matter of silver and Indians-but it must be borne in mind that the country is very large and has diverse inter
 ests, and it is hard to please all sections equally. President Cleve- land in hls annual message has recommended the suspension of further coinage of silver until we use what we have on hand now. He thinks it foolAh policy to coin two millions month to lie idle in the Treasury vaults and re- fused by people, who find them too heavy to carry. If Grover don't look out he will get himself seriously disliked on the Pacific Slope, for these States and Terri tories, as one man, demand silver coinage On the Chinese question he is sound, though he deprecates all lawlessness, but recommends provisions to be made in the laws to suit the wishes of the people. He favors a commercial treaty with Mexico, but dodges the tariff issue. lie urges that the transcon- tineutal railroads be held strictly to the law as regards their land grants. He comes out strongly in favor of Civil Service Reform and hopes that the old time office seek
 ing as party spells are gone. He recommends the reduction in size of Indian Reservations and thn division of them into farms, to be allotted in severalty to the h. dians to cultivate. What remains of the public lands, he suggests should be reserved for actual set tiers, and the laws permitting in dividuals and corporations to take large tracts should be repealed. He vigorously opposes subsidies to American ships for carrying mails, but recommends freer inter course with foreign nations.

JOHN A. LOGAN, in declining the Vice Presidency, has shown him- self a wise, patriotic and farseeing statesman. He could have easily had the place for which he ran with Blaine last year and missed by | very narrow majority, but he declined. Had he accepted. only one life, that of Cleveland, would have stood between him and the Presidency, and, remembering that Washington is full of Cult taus and Booths, it is very proba- ble that attempts at least would be made by some crazy fanatic to re
 move Cleveland. The government of tho United States Is the most stable on earth, but continued assassination of the Chief Magis- trate will throw any system Of government into monarchy. A man who can thus refuse to yield to ambition, who can decline the sec ond highest office in the land, all for his country's welfare is entitled to the deepest respect of his coun- trymen, "Black Jack," as they call him in Illinois, is g true patriot.

IT is a very pleasant pastime now a-days to sit in the sun and read in Eastern papers accounts of snow storms and gales and blizzards. The warm suubeams render this dry air delightful and healthful. and it requires an i'm agination of great power to con ceive of bowling winds, laden with sleet and snow such as nave swept over other parjs ot America in the past week. No country has 2 finer winter climate than Ari- zona. In the North and West most trains are blocked with snow, vessels wrecked, parks devastated and the people are hugging red hot stoves to keep from freezing. while We go about in shirt sleeves and straw hats.

TIE West Shore Railroad has been sold at auction for the mod est sum of twenty-two million dollars. This road, it will be re- membered, was built to parallel the New York Central. It has been used simply as speculation, the originators knowing we'll that there was barely enough traffic Tn that distrlct to support the New York Central. The stock was boomed to q high figure and was bought by "lambs" and suckers " This let the builders out hand somely. It then fell. Thereupou the specalators bought it at q low figure, boomed it again, unloaded, and down stock fell again like an exploded soap bubble. The juice cf tie orange Is all gone and the road is sold at anction. The his tory of this road furnishes fair sample of what Wall Street spec ulators can do and are doing ev- cry day: feecing lambs.

PARsoY DowNs, of Boston, is ir- repressible. Regardless of the unsavoiy scandal attached to his name, he keeps on preaching to immense audiences, who come seemingly more from curiosity than from motives of holiness.

Scenes at a Great Camp Meeting In Ken
lucky in 1899

Scenes at a Great Campaigning In Ken
lucky in 1899.
From John b. McMaster's History.
Two young men began the work in the sum-
mer of 1899. They were brothers. preachers,
and on their way across the pine barrens to Ohio
but turned aside to be present at sacramental
solemnity on Red river. The people were ac-
customed to gather at such times on Friday and
by praying and singing, and hearing sermons
prepare themselves for the reception of the
sacrament on Sunday. At the Red river meet
ing the brothers were asked to preach, and one
did so with astonishing fervor. AS he spoke the
people were deeply moved, tears ran streaming
down their faces, and one woman far in the
and began to shout. For three hours
after the regular preachers had gone the crowd
fingered and were loath to depart. While they
tarried one of the brot hers was irresistibly i'm
PEELED to speak. He rose and told them that he
feet called to preach that he could not be silent
The words which then fell from his lips reused
the people before him to "pungent sense of
SIM" Again and again the woman shouted, and
would not be silent. He started to her. The
crowd begged him to turn back. Something
within him urged him on, and he went through
the house shouting and exhorting and praising
God. In moment the floor, to use his own
words, was covered with the slain"
The cries for mercy were terri
ble to hear Some found forgiveness,
but many went away spiritually wounded" and
suffered unutterable agony of soul. Nothing
could allay the excitement Every settlement
along the Green river and the Cumberland was
full of religious fervor. Men fitted their wagons
with beds and provisions, and travelled fifty
miles to camp upon the ground and hear him
preach. The idea was new, hundreds adopted
it, and camp meetings began. At the Cane Ridge
meeting 20, 600 were encamped.
The excitement surpassed anything that had
been known. Men who came to scott remained
to preach All day and all night the crowd
swarmed to and fro from preacher to preacher
singing, shouting laughing, now rushing off to
listen to some new exhorter who had
climbed upon a stump now gathering
around some unfortunate who, in their peculiar
language, was spiritually slain" Soon men
and women fell in such numbers that it became
impossible for the multitude to move about with
out trampling them, and they were hurried to
the meeting house. At no time was the floor
less than half covered. Some lay quiet. unable
to move or speak. Some talked, but could not
move. Some beat the floor with their heels
Some, shrieking in agony, bounded about, it is
said, like live fish out of water Many laid
down and rolled over and over for hours at a
time. Others rushed wildly over the stumps
and benches, and then plunged, shouting Lost!
lost' into the forest.

On one occasion gentemanly looking person
called and expressed fear that he had inclosed
two letters in wrong envelopes, and that all the
prospects in life depended on his having his
letters and correcting the mistake, inasmuch as
they revealed plans which he had adopted to
save two mercantile houses in the
same line of business, whose interests
FLASHED at every point. A similar
blunder occurred in a more delicate affair, when
a young lady was most urgent to have her letters
returned, as she had accepted the wrong offer of
marriage. The local postmaster was unable to
resist her earnest entreaties, and thus prevented
painful catastrophe. But whole romance
might be written on the following incident. A
young lady, who had been engaged to pros
porous young manufacturer, was informed, few
days before the marriage was fixed for, that the
firm was iasovent. Not moment was to be

The Humning Bird.

No hunger knocking feast such as was spread
Before the beggar by Prince Barmecide
Is that which nature kindly doth provide
For thee. o song-winged bird, when Winter fed,
But rarest sweets in nectarcups which shed
A soft perfume upon the fragrant tide
Of summer air, and thou canst sorrow hide
BY one short draught, slipped in deep Aower-bed
And as thou indest nectars rare and sweet
Well hid for thee within each wind kissed flower
My prayer, when listening to thy wings beat,
Is for similar discerning power
With which to find, as time speeds onward feet,
The sweetness of some joyn every hour.
