THE MESSAGE.


 The message which the President delivered to Congress yesterday is not much briefer than the one he sent in last year, but it is, we think, more readable and interesting.
 He favors an effective limitation of Chinese immigration and asserts the right of the Chinese who remain in this country to pro- lection. He protests against the action of the government of Mexico in the Cutting case. He is in favor of improving the con sular service and of paying the consuls de- cent salaries. He says "the present condi- tion of affairs constrains our people to de- mand that by 8 revision of our revenue laws the receipts of the government shall be re- duced to the necessary expense of it's econ omical administration" He reason to change his views concerning the silver question and again urges the suspension of the compulsory coinage He. believes in coast defenses, fin improving the navy, and in doing the work in this country. He fa- vors an improvement of the present methods of postal communication with the South American countries. He renews his recom- mendation of the appointment of commis- sion to help in the solution of the Indian problem. He deals strongly with the land question and recommends the repeal of the pre-emption and timber-culture acts and that the homestead laws be so amended as to bet ter secure compliance with their require ments of residence, improvement and culti- vation for the period of five years from date of entry, without communication or provision for speculative relinquishment He wants the adoption of pension system broad and comprehensive enough to cover every contin- gency and which shall make unnecessary an objectionable volume of special legislation. He favors the enlargement of the present la bor bureau and the addition to it's functions of the power of arbitration in cases where differences arise between employer and em- ployed "But," he forcibly adds, ''after all has been done by the passage of laws, either federal or State, to relieve situation full of solicitude, much more remains to be accom- plished by the reinstatement and cultivation of true American sentiment which realizes the equality of American citizenship" He invokes for civil service reform the cheerful and ungrudging support of Congress.
 The message as 8 whole will make good impression. It would make better one if it were short enough to be read by more of the people than will wade through it.

TO.DAY,S DUTY.

It is the duty of every voter in this city who can vote to-day to do so. It is quite as important to the citizens of New Haven to have good town and city officers as it is for them to have good President. The Citizens town and city tickets are such that if those named on them are elected the affairs of the city and town will be we'll attended to. It is especially desirable, we think, that MT. Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., should be elect ed Mayor. He is not politician. He is business man and believes in doing the bus mess of the city in 8 business way. He has made no pledges and no bargains. His can didacy is clean and dignifed. If elected he will conscientiously labor to further the interests of the city and to uphold and add to her good reputation. Vote for him.

The decision will in Massachusetts put an end to one supposedly important means of prosecuting violations of the liquor law or greatly restrict the jury list in such cases.
 A Boston man has the notion that the em- ployers' liability matter may be settled by the States assuming the assurance of all en- ployers against the claims of persons injured in their employ. The plan requires pre- mium to be paid to the State, collected by 8 license tax from every smploye, in considera ton of which the State assumes all the lia bility for injury during employment. This would give new jobs to medical examiners, tax collectors, etc., and throw the burden off the employers. The State would assume it, but the burden would rest by taxation upon the employees. A precedent for this plan is found in the dog tax which is imposed on all dogs, and is used to compensate people who lose sheep and other stock by the attacks of doos

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

Pursuant to provision of the diplomatic and consular appropriation act approved July 1, 1886, the estimates submitted by the Sec retary of State for the maintenance of the consular service have been recast on the basis of salaries for all the officers to whom such allowance is deemed advisable Advantage has been taken of this to redistribute the salaries of the offices now appropriated for, in accordance with the work performed, the importance of the representative duties of the incumbent and the cost of living at each post. The last consideration has been too often lost sight of in the allowances hereto fore made. The compensation which may suffice for the decent maintenance of a worthy and capable officer in 8 position of onerous and representative trust at post readily accessible and where the necessaries of life are abundant and cheap may prove an inadequate pittance in distant lands where the better part of years pay is consumed in reaching the post of du+y and where the com forts of ordinary civilized existence can only be obtained with difficulty and at exorbitant cost. I trust that ill considering the sub mitted schedules no mistaken theory of economy will perpetuate system which in the past has virtually closed to deserving tai ent many offices where capacity and attain ment of high order are indespinsable, and in not a few instances has brought discredit on our national character and entailed en- barrassment and even suffering on those deputed to uphold our dignity and interests abroad.
 In connection with this subject earnestly reiterate the practical necessity of supplying some mode of trustworthy inspection and re- port of the manner in which the consulates are conducted. In the absence of such reli- able information, efficiency can scarcely be rewarded or its opposite corrected.

When citizens of the United States vo1un- tarily go into foreign country they must abide by the laws there in force, and will not be protected by their own government from the consequences of an offense against those laws committed in such foreign country; but watchful care and interest of this govern ment over it's citizens are not relinquished because they have gone abroad; and if charg- ed with crime committed in the foreign land, a fair and open trial, conducted with decent regard for justice and humanity, will be de- manded for them.

So many Salt Lake Mormons are leaving their advertisements of "closing out sales" An eating house has this legend posted in the doorway: "Will leave Jerusalem for Woods x for two days.

Family Disturbance.

Mr.. VIM. Hickey is q young far
mcr living abou. two and half
miles north cast of town. Monday
night about IL o'clock he went
home from a political gathering
and was astonishcd to find one
Dave Moodyman, who was work
ing on the farm as cotton picker,
IN bed with Mrs. Hickey, his wife.
She met him at the door pistol in
hand and stood him off, telling
him he could not como in on her
that way. Mr.. Hickey went to
the house of a negro living some
forty yards distant 10 get gun,
but the negro did not have one.
He at once returned TO his house
and was met 1T the door by his
wife who SAID Here's your pis-
toI" at the same time handing it TO
him. 1t was cap and ball pistol
and Mrs. Hickey had taken the
precautIon to remove the caps.
Moodyman had gained time enough
to dress and was busily engaged
running away. Mr.. Hickey took
snap or at him and rs the gun
failed to fire he knew what was
the matter he was provided with
caps. put some on and got in two
or three shots at the fleeing
Moodyman; one shot took effect in
Moodyman's left arm Iniicting Il
flesh wound. Mr.. Hickey, who
feels the disgrace cast upon him
by his unfaithful wife very severe
Iy, did probably the best thing that
could have been done under the
circumstances. He gave her money
and sent her to the home of her re-
latives in an upper county. The
festive Moodyman has left for
other parts. Mr.. Hickey has the
sympathy of the community IN his
misfortune.

There is still good deal of talk
as 10 whether Edith Kingdom, the
actress-wife of Jay Goulds son, will
be received in society. Why not
She is young and fair and loveable.
She has an Irreproachable charac-
ter and a cultivated mind. She has
done nothing upon Days stage
that hundreds of society women
have not nightly applauded. Sure
ly If soclety's leaders were not
ashamed to witness this young
lady's nightly representations there
can be no harm IN the fact that she
was paid for them. 1t could not be
indicate for her TO do what it was
not indicate for them 10 see. At
the Charity Ball, where society
goes on dress parade every winter,
one may see low-necked costumes
that would shame the stage, and
the society ladies who wear them
cannot offer, as the actress can, the
excuse of art. Mrs. Gould will GER
tainly be received into such society
as she chooses to go. She has al
ready received many invitations.
The Goulds are just entering socie-
ty and Mrs. Gould is therefore not
at any disadvantage. When the
opera season opens and the social
world throws open Its doors it will
be seen whether society will turn
its back upon an accomplished wo-
man simply because she has not
been afraid to earn her living by
hard work.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.


We have seen many beautiful
tributes to lovely woman, but the
following is one OF the finest we
ever read:
"Placo her among the flowers,
foster her as tender plant, and
she is thing of fancy and way
wardness-annoyed by a dewdroP,
fretted by the touch of a butter
hy's wing, ready to faint at the
sound of a beetle, or the rafting
of a window-pane at night, and she
Is she Is overpowerd by the per-
fume of the rosebud. But let real
calamity come, rouse her affections
enkindle the fires OF her heart, and
mark her them Place her IN the
heat of q battle-give her a child,
bird, s0r anything to protect
and see her, in a relative instance,
lifting her white arms as a shield
as her own blood crimsons her up
turned forehead, praying for her
life TO protect the helpless. Trans
plant her in the dark places of the
earth, call forth her energies to
action, and her breath becomes a
healing, her presence a blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the
strides of stalking pestilenee,
when man, the strong and brave.
pale and affrIghted shrinks away.
Misfortune haunts her not. She
wears awry lite of silent endu-
rance, and goes forward with less
timidlty than to her bridal. In
prosperity she is bud full of
odors, waiting for the winds o, ad-
verslty to scatter them abroad
pure, good, valuable, but untried in
the furnace. In short, woman is
miracle, mystery, the center from
which radiates the charm of exis-
tence.
