President Cleveland's profuse messag

President Cleveland's profuse message
deals large in generalitIes and he de-
votes much unnecessary space to routine
suggestions of the stereotyped order.
His discussion of the silver coinage
question is brisk and covers the entire
ground, from the New York standpoint.
The horrors of bl.metalism are depicted
in gloomy colors and it is written down
as the one great danger that confronts
the country. Regarding these conclu-
sions the country will continue to differ,
as of yore, though the president has
ably presented his side of tho case. Up.
on the tariff subject no decided stand is
taken and lit is nominally left an open
question, with his party on the fence.
There is a plagiaristic suggestion that
revenues should be shaped to meet pub
lie necessities. This position has been
adhered to by all parties, from the foun-
dation of the government, and is as
good doctrine now as it ever was.
| The message contains some good sug-
gestions regarding commercial high.
way across the isthmus and treats intel
ligently the status of American citizen
ship and the diplomatic and consular
service. The various domestic depart
ments receive the requisite amount OF
attention and the suggestions therein
are fairly impartial. Little thought ia
given to the west and its needs and all
| references to Dakota's needs are con.
spicuous by their absence. 1t had been
hoped that the president might give tc
our difficulties some official recognition

The Postal Department.

The affairs of the postal service are
exhibited by the report of the postmas
ter general, which Will be laid before
you. The postal revenue, whose rates OF
gain upon the rising prosperity OF 1882
and 1888 outstripped in increasing ex-
penses of our growing service, was
checked by the reduction in the rate of
letter postage, which took effect with the
beginning of October in the latter year,
and it has diminished during the
two past. fiscal years 50, $780, ,0O0-in
the proportion of ss2,260,0O0 in 1884 to
$52O,000 in 1885. Natural growth and
development have meantime in
creased expenditures, resulting in de-
fciency in the revenue OF the depart
ment of Sc, 5,250.000 for the year 1884, and
Sc, ,333, 1888 in the last 1scal year. The
anticipated and natural revival of the
| revenue has been retarded by the un-
! favorable business condition of the
country, of which the postal service is
a faithful indicator. The gratifying
fact is shown, however, by the report
that our returning prosperity is marked
by gain of $380.O00 in the revenue of
the latter half of the last year over the
corresponding period of the preceding
year. The change in the weight OF first
class matter, which may be carried for q
single rate of postage from half ounce
to an ounce, and the reduction of one
half of the rate of newspaper postage,
which under recent legislation began
with the current year, will operate to
reetrain the augmentation of receipts
which otherwise might have been expect
ed, to such degree that the scale oil
expenses may gain upon the revenue
land cause an increased deficiency to be
shown at its close. Yet after no long
period Of reawakened prosperity, bJ
proper economy it is confidently antici
pated that even the present low rates
now as favorable as any country affords
will be adequate to sustain the cost o
tho service.
The operation of the postoffice de
partmsnt is for the convenience an(
fbeneft of the people, and the methot
! by which they pay the charges of thi
useful arm of their public service, g
that it be just and impartial, is of les

The commissions of the officers of the
state of Dakota, issued by General
Campbell, chairman of the Estate execu-
tive committee, specify that the term
of Office of each incumbent
begins on the 14th of Decem-
Der, the day the legislature meets, and
continues for two years. AS Cleveland
has no jurisdiction over these cases the

tended to nineteen additional cities dur.
,, ing the year, and 178 now enjoy its con-
veniences. Experience has commended
it to those who enjoy it's benefits and
further enlargement Of its facilities is
due to other communities to which it is
adopted. In the cities where it has been
established, taken together, the local
postage exceeds its maintenance by
nearly 81 100000. The limit to which
this system ia now confined by law has
been nearly reached, and the reasons
given justify its extension, which 10
| proposed.
1t was decided, with my appreciation
after sufficient examination, to be in.
expedient for the postoffice department.
to contract for carrying our foreign
mails under the additional authority
given by the last congress. The amount
limited was inadequate to pay all within
the purview of the law, the full rate Of
| fifty cents per mile, and it would have
| been unjust and unwlse to have given it
to some and denied it to
others. Nor could contracts have
been let under the law to all at rate to
have brought the aggregate within the
appropriation without such practical
pre-arrangement of terms as would have
violated it. The rate of sea and inland
postage, which was proffered under
another statute, clearly appears to be
fair compensation for the desired SER
vice, being three times the price neces-
sary to secure transportation by other
vessels upon any route. and much be-
yond the charges made to private per-
sons for services not less burdensome.
Some of the steamship companies, upon
the refusal of the postmaster general to
attempt by the means provided for the
distribution OF the sum appropriated as
extra compensation, withdrew the SER
wees of their vessels and thereby occa-
stoned slight Inconvenience, although no
considerably injury. The mails have
been dispatched by other means. What
ever may be thought of the policy Of
ance or travel, l am satisfied that 1t
should not be done under cover
of an expenditure incident to the
administration of department., nor
should there be any uncertainty ss to
the receipts or the subsidy Of any
discretion left to an executive officer .
to its distribution. If such gifts OF pub
lie money are to ba made for the pur-
pose of aiding any enterprise in the sup
posed interest OF the public, cannot
but think that the amount to be paid
and the beneficiary might better be de-
termined by congress than any other
way.

miscellaneous Matters.


The message deals at great length on
touched upon in the report Of the Sec
retary of the interior. After reviewing
the facts about the education of the In
dians and their tribal relations, the pres
ident says: II recommend the passage
of law authorizing the appointment OF
six commissioners, three of whom shall
be detailed from the army, to be charged
with the duty of a careful inspection
of all Indians upon our reservations, or
subject to the care and control of the
government, with q view of discovering
their exact condition and need, and de-
termining what steps shall be taken on
behalf of the government to improve
their situation in the direction of their
self support and complete civilization;
that they ascertain from such inspection
what, if any. OF the reservations may be
reducedI in area, andl in such
cases what part not need
ed for Indian occupation may be pur-
chased by the government from the In
dians and disposed of for their benefit;
what, if any, Indians may with their
consent be removed to other reservations
| with view of their concentration" !"
i The message directs that the powers and
functions of the commission should be
strictly defined.
4 THE LAND LAWS.
The message recommends the repeal
and modification OF certain of the land
laws and deprecetes the falling Of large
tracts into the hands OF syndicates for
speculation. The president urges that
transcontinental roads be held to q
! strict accountability in the matter of
grants.
PENSIONS.

there were 345,125 persons borne upon
