THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
.oMsENrs OF THE PRESS

- NN' 'H'D'
It would be folly to attempt to expat!ate
upon the views expressed In the message in
any one editorial and the Herald therefore
contents itself with a hearty approval ofthem
all, accepting the message In It's entirety as
an able document written in consonanec with
Democratic ideas ard creditable In the high
estdegree to a Democratic presldent.-onats
Herald, Dem
As a whole, the message is g crodltahle
state paper, though too elaborate for popular
reading.-0maha Bee, (Rep.)
The paper Is a plain, unpretentious survey
of the different administrative establish.
ments, without any attempt or p~retense of of
fering a presidential policy in relation 10 any
other subject-mstter than the presidents ex-
erclse Of his ~prerogative as the head OF the
civil establishment. On that subject he still
claims to be as tirm as a rock.-Chicago
Times, Iad.D
The message contains sone sensible recon-
mendations, particularly in connection with
bureau and department reports, bat IL has a
lot OF clsp-trApdemogoguery, when the presi-
dent strikes out on his own aeceunt. This is
particularly true OF his remarks on the labor
and tariff quesEcns.-Des Moines Register,
(Rep)
Probably the Harvard college people will
be able to perceive great wisdom sRd beauty

Minneapolis Tribune, (Rep.)
For all practical purposes of calling a,teR
tention to matters shat demand the action 81
the legislative branch Of the government the
message is sufficient, but it is sadly lacking
in originality OF thought or yirility of expires
sion. 81 has nothingof the earnest enthu-
siasm and hopeful tone Of his first annual
that congress is a very knmoyable body, and
therefore he contents hiKlsclf with presenting
It with a careful index Of political affairs
rather than enGeayoring to enlighten it him
self or spur it on to reform legislation.-Chi-
cago News, Ind.l
In this respect the present message Is a fair
sample of all the rest. 1t Ia clear, careful,
painstaking. 1t is business-llke. 1t seeks TO
cover the points in Ineligible language, and
1t succeeds fully up 10 the average. On that
point no partisan OF the president need have
any fear OF adverse criticism. The criticism
would come, OF course, IL the message we're
ten times as good in every respect as ans pre-
vious message ever written-pes NoiDes

well known in this community, and
who is now absent in France. Since
1884 there has been a PEDESTAL con-
nectcd with the Spanish legation in this
city, and the young nan whose early
demise is so much regretted came to
the United States a little over a yeal
, ago. Soon after he assumed his new
duties he met a young lady in this city

and it was heartily reciprocated, sc
much so that after being engaged, whcr

The young lady resided with her

The Cars Winter House.

palace not only provides accommoda-
ton for the emperor and empress and
their suites, but for the emperor's broth

entirety A number of apartments are
also preserved for state occasions. The

from the same, are to be seen on every

stage on which grand dukes and ladies
of the court often play. There are
slopes down which imperial and other
high personages slide on cushions
there are swings, climbing poles, ball
games, and, in fact, AN endless variety
OF amusements.
The emperor and empress pass the
| winter there in quiet with their family.
The castle, however, gives the inn
preston of a strongly fortified retreat.
In front there is a deep moat, which
can be filled any moment with water,
while the approaches, defended by
cannon, a be isolated by the draw
ing up of the bridges. The castle is
protected by meats on three sides,
these certainly lending to the charm Of
the park. All work people belonging
to the palace wear distinctive marks,
and before entering or leaving they are
examined. The palace of Gatshina is
only one of a number of residences

ne%ighborhood of St. Petersburg, and

Another perfect telephone has beer

Another perfect telephone has been
invented, this time by Messrs. s. l..
Barrett and w. w. helms, of Houston,
Texas. 1t is reported to differ from
the Bell, Edison and all other tele-
phones; does not use an electric bat
terry, and, it is claimed, has stood a
satisfactory test over a distance of $50
miles. A caveat has been issued from
the patent office, and the inventors will
probably stir up an advertising suit in
the United States courts as soon as a
patent is obtained.

The late King. Alfonso XII, was not
very popular with his subjects, neither
is his widow, the Queen Regent She s
an Austrian Princess. and not much
beloved by the Spanish people. Thus
we sec that the young King enters into
the world with enemies ready to dis.
pute his claim to the throne, with In.
surrcction threatening him, and pros.
poets OF civil war.
Until the birth Of this baby, his Older
sister was considered Queen Of Spain.
and, In the event OF her death, tho
younger sister would have the position.
These two little girls, aged respectively
ak and four years, are too young now
to realize what difference the birth Of
. brother has made in their lives; but,
amid the envy. plotting and intrigue
of court, these children will only too
soon awake 10 q full knowledge Of
what they have lost. and enmity may
arise between the sisters and their
young brother.
Thus you see that the life before this
young King Of Spain Is not oil bright
and happy. 1t seems to me that any
American baby, with good parents
and allectionate brothers and sisters
has the prospect Of happier and bet
ter life than Alfonso KILL, King OF

FARMING IN UTAH.
Interesting Description OF Agriculture
Methods In the Mormon Territory.

Interesting Description OF Agricultural
Methods In the Mormon Territory.
The first requisite to farming in this
country is not land, rs in the East; OF
that there is an everlasting surplus, but
water is the one thing Indispensable.
The water comes down from the mount
aims, the melting snow keeping up q
steady and constant flow all through
the spring and early summer 1t is
diverted from its natural channel and
carried in bitches along the upper sides
of the fields. and by little channels
across the cultivated ground. Thclay
ing out of the bitches and distribution
of the water is very easy task here,
for the land lies OH gentle and even
slope, without much of the irregularity
OF the Eastern contour.
The quality OF much of the cultivated
land is most excellent, and immense
crops Of potatoes and grain are raised
every year without much manure.
Farming here is not very profitable,
owing to the low prices paid for grain.
In the San Pete valley. from which ]
write, the majority of the inhabitants
are Danes. They cultivate their land
with diligence and carcfulncss, and are
fairly prosperous.
A strange feature of this country Is
that the whole population is grouped
in the towns, the farmers going out to
their fields to work every morning and
returning in the evening. Their farms
are seldom fenced. and stock mus,
be herded. and stock-owncrs are held
responsible for any damage done by
their stock. There are no fenced past
urcs. and cattle arc either held in the
corrals in the town. or driven to the
range in the foothills or canyons. Ev.
cry morning a large herd is gathered
up from tho different ownOrs in the
town. and in charge of herder, driven
to the range to be returned to their re-
spective corrals in the evening. The
quality of cattle raised here Is very
inferior. The range on which they
must live for tho greater part OF the
year is far from being luxuriant past
xo, the grass being, as Q pane said 70

1t is limited by the water supply. which
