after the close of the Convention, by an
inadvertence and not by design, did not
publish the Temperance resolution with
National Republican platform. That
paper says;
Several persons have written us calling at

as published in the lnter-Ocean last Saturday

by an almost unanimous vote only one del

Some of the religious papers have spoken
disparagingly of what they please to call the
'disgraceful squabbe" over the Boutelle
resolution. 1t was rather a struggle to be
proud of. Those opposed to the resolution
tried to prevent a vote. Those in favor of

 M. de Lesseps seems to be getting dssper- ate- He appeals to the patriotism of his countrymen and tells them that the projected canal twill enrich France as the Suez canal did" The New York Times thus rebukes the old man: If majority of those from whom he has drawn his supplies thus far, and to whom he appeals now, were not incapable of comparing intelligsntly the financial his. tory of the completed canal with that of the incomplete one, this assertion would bury the lottery loan out of sight. The cost of the Suez canal was less than $10O, 900, GOO; the obligations of the Panama company already exceed $400, 100000, and M. de Lesseps is try ing to sell bonds that would add about $1,- 900, GOO to the burden. It is well known that even if he should sell them the proceeds would not be sufficient. Indeed, it is not probable that the canal could be finished if the companys obligations should be doubled But if the work could be done without rais- ing the obligations above $500, ,000, 900, the canal would not pay expenses. The receipts would not begin to pay interest on the bonds, to say nothing of dividends on the stock. The profits of the Suez canal are large be- cause the investment was comparatively sma1I

THE MESSAGE.

The President sent very long message to Congress yesterday, and it is one which the
 Democratic papers will probably unite in call ing 8 statesmanlike document. The first 1 part of it is the most interesting. It is de- voted to trusts and the tariff and while it does not reveal anything new it is very read- able. One of the notable sentences is as fol- lows: 'But the communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of over- weening cupidity and selfshness which insid-
 iously undermines the justice and integrity
 of the free institutions is not less dangerous
 than the communism of oppressed poverty, and toll which, exasperated by injustice and discontent, attacks with wild disorder the citadel Of rule." Concerning the tariff the President declares for just and sensible re- vision, and he says, among other things:
 There should be no cessation of the struga gle until plan is perfected, fair and conser- vative toward existing industries, but which will reduce the cost to the consumers of the necsssaries of life, while it provides for our manufacturers the advantage of free raw materials and permits no injury to the inter- ests of American labor. This indicates that
 
 Perhaps the most interesting parts of the rest of the message are those devoted to the Indian question and to pensions: ssBut no agency for the smelioration of this people appears to me so promising as the extension urged by the secretary of such complete facil- ities of education as shall at the earliest pos sible day embrace all teachable Indian youth of both sexes and retain them with kindly and beneGcent hold until their characters are formed and their faculties and dispositions trained to the sure pursuit of some forms of useful industry. The capacity of the Indian no longer needs demonstration. It is estab- lished. It remains to mako the most of it and when that has been done the curse will be lifted, the Indian race saved and the sin of their oppression redeemed" And con- corning pensions he says: "The laxity of ideas prevailing among large number of our peo- pie regarding pensions is becoming every day more marked. The principles upon which they should be granted are in danger of be. ing altogether ignored, and already pensions are often claimed because the applicants are as much entitled as other successful appli- cants rather than upon any disability reason ably attributed to military service"
 We notice one rather funny thing in this serious document. It is that the number of complaints of the postal service made to post masters and to the department is far less than ever before. Perhaps the people have got sick of complaining.
