there would be six weeks of nice warm

to give place to his successful cOmpeti
tor. John G Israel, Esq. 1t is very gem
orally conceded that Mr. Meehan dis
charged the responsible duties of his Of

with the good wishes of the public. The
new commissioner. Mr. Israel, takes hold
of the business of the Office much like
an experienced hand. and unless we are
greatly in error, he will be found to De
the right man in the right place. He is
affsble and pleasant in his intercourse.
but at the seme time has decided opin-
ions of his own when it is necessary to

The Gazette, apparently in pursu+
ance of a determined purpose to carp at
the Republican commissioners, under
takes to hold Messrs Cope and Berry
alone responsible for a certain contract
with the Columbus Substructure Co, TO
build bridge over McMahOn's creek.

Meehan's name is the Iirst of the COM

proposed bridge is to be built only after

necessary approaches is secured by the
city authorities of Bellaire. and it is the
understanding of the Bridge Co. that nc
work is to be done or money paid until
such right of way is obtained The

The Presidents message was deliver
ed to Congress on Tuesday. 1t Is doc
ument of unusual length, which would
fill about sixteen columns of this paper
Mr. Cleveland congratulates the country
on the maintenance of peace and unity
with ali the peoples Of the globe, and
follows the lead of President Arthur iu
giving full consideration to the relations
of the United States with the govern
ments of foreign nations. He favors the
promotion of enterprises to secure rapid
transit across the Isthmus of Panama
for the benefit of our commerce and the
promotion of trade with the South
American Republics. He holds no un>
certain sentiments on the question OF
Chinese immigration, saying the nation
has a right to adopt restrictive meas
ures within the limits of treaty stipula.
tions whenever it is shown that such
immigration is inimical to our interests
as a people. Concerning the late out>
breaks and massacres of the Chinese in
Wyoming and Washington Territories,
he holds that they were the work OF
aliens, and that the whole power of the
Government has been brought into play
to secure the arrest and punishment OF
the guilty parties. He deprecates any
action of a nature calculated to interfere
with the friendly relations now existing
between China and the United States,
and says the treaty regulations must be
faithfully and honorably observed. As
regards domestic affairs, the reduction
of the tariff is urged as necessary, but
the President is careful to say that the
question of free trade ia not involved noI
is the wisdom or expediencyof protection
called in question. The intention is to
try the experiment Of reducing the tariff
without interfering with the interests
of labor. The Presidents opinion is
that the reduction should be made In the
revenue derived from the imported me-
cessaries of life, but refrsins from de-
signaling any particular articles. He
advocates such amendments to our ex-
tradition treaty with Great Britain as
will render them more effective in secu>
ring the arrest and return of large
class of criminals now exempt from its
provisions. He also advocates the adop-
tion of just and equitable internation+
al copyright system. either by legislative
enactment or by treaty with foreign
