THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND forgot no.
thing in his message to congress. He
covers the whole field. Itnearly clogs
the wires with its transmission to the
press throughout the country. He
congratulates the United States that
she is at peace with al the other ma
tons of the earth, ~reiterates his re-
concentrations upon the fisheries
question and hopes that congress will
take immediate action pointing to the
settlement of all p%iscatorial difficulties.
He again urges the re-establishment
of the boundary line between British
America and Alaska. takes up the sub
ject Of our Mexican relations and asks
for d better treaty for navigation and
commerce. He sustains Secretary
Bayard's position in the Cutting af-
fair. He recommends a revision Of
the extradition laws be SO amended
so that the surplus be relegatedto the
people, cheapening the price Of the
necessities Of life and giving free en-
trance to such imported materials as
by American labor may be manufac-
tured into marketable commodities.
He again, earnestly recommends the
suspension Of the coinage Of silver,
After suggesting some Improvements
in the judiciary system he reverts to
the Indian question. He says that
the agency system is inadequate to
the requirements Of the Indian Serv-
ice and wisely recommends the aboli-
ton of tribal relations and the allot-
ment of their lands in severalty. He
thinks that all acts relating to the
taking up Of public lands be repealed
except the homestead and insists that
the laws against the fencing Of public
lands shall be strictly enforced. He
urges arbitration as the proper meth
Cd of settling.dificulties between cap
ital and labor. He asks congress to
do something to stop the rayages Of
pleuro-nneumonia and winds up by
endorsing Civil Service reform.

THE SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE.

To the lover Of our-door diversions
Great Falls and vicinity offers an In
viting field. Within a short days
ride the sparkling mountain brooks
abound in the choicest specimens of
the fnny tribe, while both large and
small game yet tempt the hunter with
promises of reward which are sure to
be fulfilled. Several bands of
antelope Turk upon the outskirts of
the townsite within shot Of which the
sly hunter may come any day. The
drives about the town are all varied
and exceedingly interesting.
The smooth surface of Broadwater
bay which quietly washes the eastern
border of the town, allures the boat
MAJ, who, with skiff or sail
boat can pursue his pleasant
voyage up the picturesque Missouri
for many miles. He will not cast his
line there in vain, for large white
fish, catfish, grayling and trout. We
believe that this will be agreat resort
for summer tourists who Will not suf-
fer from ennui though they prolong
their stay througout the summer and
fall season. There are innumerable
places of interest to visit and nc
end of healthful diversions. One OF
these days some Of the broad, level
acres about here will be laid out fol-

THE CITIZENS DUTY.

In almost every town there are Ger
tain individuals who are on hand to
get all they can out ofthe community
without contributing anything them
selves. Public spirit is.an element
foreign to their character. We are,
thus far, very fortunate in Great Falls
in this respect. There are few if any,
of our citizens who hang back when
called upon to contribute to any good
work. 1t should be firmly held IN
mind that money, time and exertion
expended for churches, schools, librar-
les and other public institutions is not
a taxation upon what the contributor
never enjoys. Whatever adds to the
elevation of character and promotes
proper industries, rebounds to the
benefit of each and every atom Of the
corporate body.

Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!

Next Tuesday evening at Wetzel's store
in the Stone block. there will be 4 mass
meeting Of citizens interested in the organ
ization of a Fire Department. We do not
need to urge upon any sane man who is in
anyway %pecuniarily interested in Great
Falls, the necessity of at once providing
some means of stopping the spread of fires
which are liable to break tout anytime in
this town. A hook and ladder truck would
be the most practical purchase which
could be made now; and then have it man
ed with certain reliable men who under
stand the business and will attend to it
when the time for action arrives. In a ia
yorable wind a t%ipped-oyer lamp or a va
grant burning match might sweep this
toWnsite as clean as it was when Paris Glib
roe first looked upon it four years ago.
/. W is the time to take hold of this mat
t2r III earnest. Fire protection here will
also reduce the enormous premiums which
we are all compelled to pay to keep our
property insured. Let's so at this matter
in a business-like ann and sensibly
provide a means of preventing our build
ings from being transported to Heaven in
freight ago of fire.
