tHE pREslDENT,s MEssAGE:

President CLEyELAND's last annual
message, the full text Of which appears
II our news columns, is just such a
tate paper as was expected from him.
is broad, comprehensive, conserva-
i've, patriotic discussion of public ques-
ions, and is in every particular charac-
eristic of the man who wrote it. There
nothing to indicate that the sting of
Iefeat rankles in his bosom. In con-
orming with the requirements of the
constitution, he makes such RECON-
nendations to congress as he honestly
BELIEVES to be essential to the pub
tic welfare, and proceeds to q dis
eussion of leading issues just as
ihough no election had occurred;
" that it had resulted i'll popular vim
dication of the policy he had heretofore
pursued. He is as true to principle in
the hour of defeat as be was in the hour
If victory. The only fault to find with
the message is one too common with
state papers-itS length. BY good edit
ing it might have been cut down to half
the space it occupies without destroy
ing any of the meat.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
President-EIect Harrison Hob
nobs With the Famous COnfed-
ate General TaongStreet

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 3.-The
president-elect had rather quiet day
and was at work in his library most of
the time. Gen. James Longstreet, of
Georgia, accompanied by Hon. E. A.
Angler, of Atlanta, and E. G. Atkins,
of this city, was among the callers
upon Gen. Harrison this afternoon. The
president-elect conversed half hour
or longer with the famous South
ern soldier. This evening Gen.
Harrison diDed at the residence of MIR.
Atkins. The other guests were Gen.
Longstreet, f. A. Angler. A. Angler,
DR.. Wilson and half dozen Indianap-
oils gentlemen. Gen. LongStreet tells
the reporters that "there is not the least
bit of political significance in his visit"
When asked what the South wanted.
the veteran laughlngly replied ssChe
South wants everything, 1t wants the
earth if it can gG4 Il. But 1t wants,
more. than anything else, good, honest
and friendly spirit manifested toward
it. We simply want to be treated kindly
and CONSIDERABLY" Gen. Longstreet
and party will remain over until
tomorrow and then journey eastward.
A prominent gentleman engrossed Gen.
LongStreet in conversation this morn
ing regarding some of the great battles
he participated in. Among other state
ments by Longstreet--which, to the
writer, at least, are new-was the
declaration that he made his famous
charge at Gettysburg against his own
convictions. He advised against the
attack, but Lee overruled him. He was
for pulling up stakes and marching rap
idly down the valley upon Washing
ton, and he believed the movement
would have been successfully accom-
plished. He said two great mistakes
were made at Getlysburg-oce by each
of the commanding generals. Firstly.
Lee should not have attacked when he
did. knowing the strength, the entrench-
ment and splendid condition of the
other forces. Secondly, when the Con-
federates began their celebrated re-
treat Gen. Meade committed great
military blunder by not following the
fleeing army and hurting his surviving
forces upon their rear. Had he done so
Gen. Longstreet declared he believed
the Confederates would have crossed
the Pennsylvania line without single
organized corps.

A DEAD LAW.

Nearly all the states have laws
against betting on elections, but int
stances of their enforcement are almos
unknown. There have occasionally been
indictments, but convictions did not
follow. A few years ago judge in
Illinois thought he would be doing the
people service IN enforcing the stat
ute. He instructed the grand jury to do
diligent work. and indictments were
brought in against about half the voters
of the town. but no competent jury
could be secured and nothing came of
the effort. Betting is mild form of
gambling; at least, public sentiment
views it very mildly, and law isn't
worth much that is in antagonism to
public sentiment,

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sat meeting
of the committee on transportation to
the inaugural ceremonies of March
next, held this evening, a report was
presented showing that circular letter
had been sent to every railroad in the
United States, remotely or Intimately
interested in business to the ma
tional capital, suggesting that the
rate to Washington for the Inauguration
be one fare fer the round trip from all
points. The Pennsylvania railroad had
responded, agreeing to make that rate
from all points on its line, and answers
were being received from other roads
every day.

Legislative Work.

UWatOnna Journal.
The Austin Register thinks one OF the first
duties of the next legislature is to reappor-
ton the state. It would give much better re
suits if the apportionment could be delayed
until the census of 1890. An apportion-
ment on the basis OF the last state census
would not probably be fairer one than that
which at present exists. An apportionment
once in ten years is often enough for state
as old as Minnesota. One of the first duties
of the next legislature should be to call q
convention TO frame new constitution.
