COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE.
New York Dailies Make Short Work of the Pres
idsnt's Last Message.

New York Dailies Make Short Work Of the Pres
idsnt's Last Message.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Sun, in its
editorial comments on the presidents
message, SAYS: The main fact is that
nowhere does Mr.. Cleveland specify, or
even suggest any line of policy to be
pursued in dealing with the question
of the surplus and the taxes.
THE HERALD
SAYS it is a plain, business-like report
of the condition of the various depart
ments, prefaced by few paragraphs
in which Mr.. Cleveland speaks for
more impartial laws and strict adj
herence to constitutional me thodS, so
that mOnopolieS and trusts shall not
increase, but that all Americans shall
have fair chance in the race of life.
What he says on this head is sensible
and well put, but as the people have
just elected to power party which
favorS monopolies, trusts and capital
istic combinations, Mr.. Cleveland is as
one crying in the wilderness. When
ever the people get tired of the present
system of taxation they have it in their
power to change it. For the present,
the recent elections show that they do
not care enough about its evil effects
to order a change.
THE TRIBUNE
says the message is not as care
fully witten as the presidents
other official papers. but its crude
or awkward phrases count for
nothing in comparison with its mis-
chievous tone. It will not be out of
place for the senate to sharply rebuke
chief magistrate who sets himself tc
flame blind prejudice and lawless pas
sion against employers generally,
whatever their personal worth or merit,
and against the institutions and laws
which the people have recently sus-
tanned by their verdict. Mr.. Cleveland
gained a reputation for courage and
candor when he cut through DISCUSSES
and aVoWed free trade theories, but he
does not gain in any respect when he
gives vent to personal soreness and
passion in his last annual message
THE TIMES
saws. the wholesome and important
truths lying at the base of Mr.. Cleve-
lands remarks, are, in our judgement
somewhat Obscured by reinstatement.
1t is perfectly true that some of the
higher protective duties of the tariff
foster monopoly, levy taxes not for the
common needs, but for the benefit of
a privileged class. and impose gross
inequalities upon the people. but the
class benefited is small. 1t does not
include all, or even the greater num-
Der of 'our manufacturers" On the
contrary, the great body of our manu-
facturers suffer by the taxes that en-
rich the few, being compelled to pay
them in the cost of the materials made
| by the few. That fact, if presented to
Mr.. Cleveland's mind, did not get ade-
quate expression, nor is the reference
to the communism of combined
wealth and capitaE' an accurate or
happy one. If there be any idea at the
bottom of communism it is that all pos
sessions shall be in common, and that
is the opposite of what the wealthy
men who thrive by favor of the tariff
believe or practice.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-General Roger
A. Pryor for the people of the state of
New York, this morning opened the
sugar trust prosecution before Judge
Barrett in the special term Of the SUI
preme court. The particular trust
under consideration to-day is the
North River Sugar Refining company.
In his opening address General
Pryor said that as violation of alaw
by person called for the forfeiture of
his liberty or perhaps his life and the
violation of the law by a corporation
required the forfeiture of its charter.
A trust was defined as of a combina-
ton of merchants for the purpose OF
enhancing any value of any goods to
detriment of the general public and a
right to exclude competition is injuri-
GUS to the public, he continued, and
that as well exemplified by the old
saying that competition was the life of
trade

date for Congress from the third dis
trict is given majority of II and the
election of Fleming, democrat.

assured, did not disturb the re-
publican leaders so they say. They as
sert that their majority in the house in
the fifty-first congress with the West
Virginia delegation solidly dem
ocratic will be five. The
only apparent effect of the West
Virginia news was TO slightly
strengthen the sentiment among the
republican members in favor of holding
an extra session soon after the begin
ming of the new administration. It is
conceded that General Harrison will
make his action in this matter to con-
form largely to the members elect.

Subjects Discussed BY Legislators for the Good OF
the Country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. An the senate
to-day various annual reports including
that of the secretary of the treasury
were presented and appropriately re-
ferred, including one for the construc-
ton of two steel cruisers to be
armed with dynamite guns.
Frye at 1890 moved to proceed to the
consideration of the Union Pacific set
Element bill.
Mitchell opposed the motion on the
ground that he had had no time to ex-
anime the report; it was a matter that
should be looked into and the senate
might go on to-day with something
that senators knew more about.
Teller also favored pOStpOnement of
the matter as he had no opportunity to
investigate the subject.
Frye said the matter was a very
familiar one to the senate. A select
committee. had been appointed early
last session to consider it, and had de-
voted much time to the investigation.
The committee had found that the two
Pacific railroad companies, the Union
and the Central, could not be connect
ed on account of the difference in con-
ditions and capacities of the corpora
tions. Therefore the committee had
unanimously reported bill touching
the Union Pacific only The report had
been made in writing and had been
printed as long ago as July last, The
thOughtl and could be disposed of in
four or five morning hours.
Plumb said there was no particular
reason for haste as the debt would not
mature for nine years. In the pre-
sent temper of the public mind and in
view OF some promises rather recently
made there was some obligation rest
ing on the senate to discharge public
business before it took up any matter
of private concern. In his judgment
the bill would require good deal of
debate. Without saying what might
eventually become of the bill. he
thought it would be found to be one of
rather more importance than the
senator from Maine seemed to think
He therefore moved that if there was
any spare time between now and two
O'Clock the senate should utilize it by
taking up the tariff bill at once
On motion of Allison the tariff bill

sideration.

A PAIR OF INQUESTS.
Poor An Jim-TOO Handy With
His Hatchet.


Coroner Meredith was summoned
to Anaheim last Sunday to hold an
inquest over the remains Of China.
man named All Jim, who was knock.
ed on the head with hatchet by one
of his countrymen last Saturday.
The principal witness was All Sing,
brick maker, who testified that he
saw Chi aman named Quon Yee,
strike the deceas ed several blows with
hatchet, on Saturday, the 14th inst.
which resulted in his death. The
witness said about two weeks ago the
deceased had knocked Quon Yee
down with a hatchet, and the feud
which existed between the two finally
ended in the murder of All Jim. The
post mortem examination showed
that several murderous blows had
been struck, four of them on the
head, and one between the shoulder
and neck, penetrating the base of the
left lung. The fingers of one hand
were also partially severed. The de.
ceased was about forty years old. The
murderer's Whereabouts is not known
A verdict was rendered in accordance
with the foregoing facts.
HE ROCKED THE BOAT.
The inquest held by Coroner Mere
dith at San Pedro yesterday was on
the body of David Jones, native OF
Wales, aged 20 years. The evidence
adduced at the inquest showed that
Jones and companion on Saturday
evening, April 9th, left the wharf at
San Pedro in small boat, both being
evidently under the influence OF
liquor. When last observed, Jones
was rocking the boat to frighten his
companion, and shortly after this, it
was noticed that the boat had capsized
and Jones was drowned. The other
man was rescued by the foreman of a
lumber company. The jury brought
in verdict of accidental drowning.
