What Leading Journals Think of CIeve-
lands Last Message


NEW YORK, December Sd.-The Post editori-
ally says: The Presidents message of last De-
eember gave the country a surprise by its bold
ness, and the present wl.l do hardly less.
Inc C0nnerelat Advertiser independently, says
edltorially The message is a notable state pa
per, and will protitably direct popular thought
Inc Mdt and Express editorially says Most
Americans VIII be glad as they read this mes
sage tnat II is probably the last one which will
emanate from the present Chief Magistrate.
An editorial in the EueHing sun (Uem.) says
Tne second session of the Fiftieth Congress met
at noon to explain how it got bounced by the
American people. The prisoner at the bar said
that American justice was more honest than elo-
quent. God has given you a new Constitution
and sense instead of which you go about the
country stealing ducks. Alas, for any Congress
that mas good chance and wastes IL, stealing
ducks. or chasing rainbows, or conducting an
educational campaign.
Inc sun continues, in the most sarcastic man
ner to ridicule Cleveland and his message
Three sentences are: " | am right, and the
country is wrong. Truth Is mighty, and will
prevail. There may be some DELAY but the
rainbow still arches the Western sky
The Press say: The message is unique and
let US hope, comparatively harmless illustra
ton OF the length to which a shallow dema:
goSue Will go in order 10 incite and imoitter one
class OF American citizens against another
That portion OF the message devoted to the
tariff issue shows how acutely the President
feels his defeat, and at the same time demon
strates his utter ineapacity to deal with this
question IN calm, dispassionate and statesman
Ike manner
The Tribune editorially says that President
Cleveland's message is the snarl OF a beaten
candidate. In a document which should be a
dignired State paper he has taken the pains to
eXnlolt the soreness of discarded politician
because the policy which he had forced upon
his party was defeated by the people
BOSTON PRESS EXPRESSIONS
BOSTON, December 4th.-Regarding the Presi-
dents message, the Journal says this morning
:, We grieye 10 say that the President of the
United States, of whom, by reason of his high
office, 1t would be pleasant to speak with re-
spect, has tinctured the earlier portion of his
message with a demagogism which is unworthy
the Chief Executive of this great people and
which-sO far as it is accepted by foreigners as
statement-is untrue and libelous'
The Herald says: The message, in its consid-
Grafton OF controyerted questions, has in it
qualities of that frankness and courage which
have distinguished President Cleveland's entire
public life. and it will be found to be through
out a statesmanlike as well as patriotic docu-
ment."

THE MORMON CASE.
An Early Consideration Asked of the
Federal Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, December Sd-In the Supreme
Court to day Hon. F. s. Richards of Salt Lake
made motion for the advancement of the case
of the United States VS.. the Mormon Church for
the forfeiture and escheatment of the Church
property to the Government on appeal from a
decree from the Supreme Court of Utah. After
stating the claims of the Government and of
appellants, the following reasons were given
for the advancement of the case. viz: That
1t is cause in which the United States
is o party that it involves the
constituiionahty of certain Acts OF Congress ;
that il affects not only the people of Utah. but
the rights of church corporatOrs of every de-
nomination in the Territories and is therefore
question of public interest that a large
amount OF church property has been seized and
is now held by receiver. Much of it is of
perishable nature and thus liable to irreparable
loss and damage if left till the case can come
up IN its order. The great expenses and
delay VIII amount to a virtual confiscation
OF said property; that nearly half a million
dollars of personal property has been seized
when there is no law nor semblance of law for
seizure OF personal property that part OF the
real estate so seized has been held by the
Church for over twenty-five years, and before
the Act of 1862 was passed limiting the amount
OF real estate to be held by church Corporations
and that another part had been held as
parsonage and is exempted in the terms of the
law.
For these and other reasons appellants ask an
early hearing of the case. Counsel for the
Government offered no objection and the Court
took the matter under advisement.

as to What Business Congress
VIM First Take Up.

WASHINGTON. December 3d-Before the
Senate adjourned to-day notification was made
by Frye that he would call up the Union Paci-
nc settlement bill tomorrow; by Chandler that
he would ask for action on his resolution TO in

and by Allison that he would ask to proceed
with the tariff bill, and would even Qf the dis
cussion was too protracted), call it up during
the morning hours OF the session.
It is very uncertain what business the House
will begin work on. There were many contin-
uing special orders for dates already past, and
number of measures against which the point Of
no quorum was raised. Out of this hotch- -potch
the House may pick out almost anything they
want to consider, but the chances are that, as
between the various important measures, the
time will be taken up in disputing which shall
have precedence, until the direct tax question
comes up on Thursday. Some unanimous con-
sent morning-hour business may be done in the
meantime.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Important Changes Recommended by

SAN FRANCISCO, December 3d.-At the fifth
annual Convention of the officers of the National
Guard this evening, four of the six brigades
being represented, it was decided to recommend
to the Legislature an increase in the force from
90 to GO companies, the maximum strength of
each from 10 to so, and the minimum from 60
to 50.
The plan to increase the term of all line
officers from two to four years was rejected
Provision was made for the issuance by the
State of medals for ten fifteen and twenty years
active service, and that the State pay full per
diem and allowances for encampments.
1t was decided, as the sense of the Convention
that all the regimental and signal corps in
the Brigade be consolidated in a Brigade
organization. and that the number of
Brigadiers be reduced from six to three, per
mitting of a Brigade in the Northern, Central
and Southern portions of the State
This proposition was stubbornly contested by
delegates from the northern part of the State,
save General Sheehan, of Sacramento, who
warmly espoused the movement.
The officers from Southern California favored
the plan, and it was adopted recommending
only three brigades hereafter.
