Guilty which has been q marked feature
of all the presidents utterances. There
is not the slightest trace of disappointment
or any allusion to his defeat whatsoever,
and if one could forget for the moment
the result of the recent election, the un-
tagging interest evinced by the president
in national measures would lead one to
suppose that he had again been chosen to
preside over the destinies of the nation.
Even the most hide hound partisan can
hardly fail but admire the president for
his undaunted mein and calm resignation
TO the will of the people.
The message bristles from beginning to
end with democratic logic. On the tariff
President Cleveland reiterates, although
possibly in stronger terms, his famous
message of year ago, receding not one
iota from his former declaration that
reduction of the revenues was highly es-
sential to the continued prosperity of the
country. He excoriates the trusts and
over-fed monopolies and pleads for the
relief of the common people from unneces-
sary taxation. While the tariff is given
special attention, other weighty matters
such as the fisheries dispute and other,
foreign affairs, the consular service,
treasury, army and navy reports. ETC..
ETC., are gwen proper recognition.
Every voter in the United States should
not only read the message, but make it

| need not say that there are several kinds
of rope walking, for one has only to visit IN
American circus to see more than one yariety
practiced in the same ring. We in the pro-
fession recognize three legitimate forms, of
which one, however, is almost obsolete now
adays. Taking them in the order of their
difficulty, and therefore, | presume, their
attractiveness, there is first the high rope,
which is fixed as near the clouds as the per
former dare venture or the law will allow;
secondly the slow rope" on which the more
youthful performers disport themselves, and
which is stretched only some seven or eight
feet from the ground and lastly, the old
fashioned ascension" rope, which have rs-
ferred to as leing out of date entirely. This
last is in all probability the oldest form of
tight rope walking, and believe dates back
to classic times 1t receives its name from
the fact that the performer walks up rope
which is stretched from the ground to some
convenient elevation forty or fifty feet away.
When l was young it was still popular, and
even today we often speak of a separate per-

need not say that the difficulty of this form
of rope walking is trifling as compared with
that now generally practiced.
l may also mention wire walking as q
branch of the profession; but it is not
actually so recognized by u.s. Curious as it
may seem to an outsider, it is much easier to
walk on a wire than on the regular hempen
.,rope, and, with little perseverance and
some natural ability to start with, a man
may learn to walk the wire within three or

DEMOCRATIC members of congress are
as rule extremely reticent as to what line
session Of Congress. They nearly al sz.
press desire to confer with their demo-
cratic colleagues before committing them
selves. An exception to this rule is Rep
resentative Springer, of Illinois. He in
sists that one of the first things the house
will do will De to pass his Oklahoma bill,
and that the next thing will be to pass
bill for the admittance of at least four
territories into the union as states.
The territories that Mr.. Springer desires
to admit are Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton and New Mexico. He may pass his
bill through the house, but he will find
the republican senate an unsurmountable
barrier The republicans will selfishly
claim the privilege of admitting the tel
Iitories in a manner that will yield every
possible partisan advantage. They will
probably decline to admit New Mexico,
because it is likely to be democratic, and
will admit Dakota as two states, not that
there is any plausible reason for doing
50, but simply because they have the
power. and thereby gain two additional
votes in the senate and in the electoral
college. After the fourth of March the
republicans hope to have things pretty
much their own way.

ton was held here yesterday. consisting of
delegates from this city and the other chief
cities on the line of the Illinois & Michigan
canal and on the Illinois river. The state
canal commissioners were also present. The
object was to discuss projected drain
age and ship canal schemes, looking
to the construction OF steamer chan
mel connecting Lake Michigan with the Hi
nois and Mississippi rivers, Chicago's inter
est in it being not only of a commercial char
acter but also a matter of getting rid of the
great volume Of sewage of this city. There
was much talk, but it all crystalizsd into the
resolution:
That it is the sense of this meeting that the
citizens on the Desplaines and Illinois rivers will
oppose all propositions from Chicago TO construct
a channel to carry its sewage through the Des-
PLANES and Illinois rivers. unless said channel
shall be constructed Of such capacity as
to be used as a part of improve
ment to connect Like Michigan with the Mis-
sissippi river" which was amended to provide
that the channel shall not be less in width than
100 feet and OF depth of not less than o. feet
and Of a sufficient grade per nre to insure at all
times flow of not less than 500 900 cubic feet per
minute, and then adopted, and the convention

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 5-It is very
generally understood that the direct tax bill
which caused deadlock at the last session of
congress will be taken up for a ction in the
house on Thursday. From expressions of
opinion among the members of congress
who were in the opposition last session, it is
not thought that they can now successfully
resist its passage The general opinionris,
however, that il the bill is passed it will be
vetoed by the president This was the un-
derstandlng at the last session, and it was to
relieve the president of the embarrassing
effect Of a veto message in the teeth of the
presidential campaign that the opposition
resortAd to fllibustering tactics to defeat the
bill. 1t Is not now probable that the oppo-
sition will resort to obstructive tactics to de-
feat the bill. 1t will probably be content to
put itself on record as opposed to it, and
rely on the president to veto it.
