THE Ata, the other day, had very
neat article on the inconsistency of the
Chronicle. When Mr.. Bayard was Sec
retary OF State for the United States, the
Chronicle every ether day had an article
on his poltroonery. Its voice was for
war, and it was demanding all sorts of
terrible things at the hands of the Demo-
cratic administration. In those days
everything with it was casus belli, and
it clamored to have Bayard tramping
around the State Department with chip
on his shoulder for some foreign power,
Germany or England, to knock off.
Great things were to happen as soon as
Mr.. Blaine should be at the head of our
foreign relations. Well, the Plumed
Knight is there, and wonderful change
has come over its tone. It now discredits
hasty and undignifed action, and has
developed an unwonted respect for red
tape and diplomatic deliberation. 1t is
willing to see the warlike Blaine COO as
gently as any sucking dove. A down
right partizan newspaper is obliged to do
great many absurd things in sticking up
for it's party, right or wrong, but the
Chronicle has gone to lengths of unneses-
sary absurdity in making fowl of Bayard
and flesh of his successor. After all the
Republican denunciation of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, it was the only one
since Mr.. Seward retired from the control
of the State Department that has reso-
lutely maintained the dignity of the
American name. The White Plumed
Knight was very skillful at twisting the
British lions tail on the floors of Con-
gress. AS General Gar6eld's Secretary
of State he showed less concern to main
tain the rights of Irish American citizens
upiustly imprisoned than any man who
had ever occupied similar station in
the United States. Great is humbug.

The meeting of Congress Ga Monday
last recalls the fact that it is fourteen
years since the Republican party had
control of the General Government in
both the Executive and Congressional
branches-wlth majority in both Sen
ate and House. The last time when
that was the case was during the Ad-
ministration of General Grant, when
Mr.. Blaine was Speaker of the House
(IS7s to 80, and when the Republi-
cans IN the same Congress had a ma
jority of az in the Senate. Spce then,
in all those fourteen years, the Republi
cans have only once had majority in
In the House of Representatives. That
was in the Forty-seventh Congress
(I88I-83), when General Keifer was
Speaker, but at that time they lacked a
majority in the Senate-this body stand
ing 81 Republicans, 81 Democrats and
Independents. MIR. Randall was
Speaker in the three proceeding Con-
crosses, and Mr.. Carllse has been Speak
er in the three Congresses succeeding
General Keller.
Since 1881 the balance of parties in
the Senate has been close. In 1881 So
there were 81 Republicans, 81 Demo-
Gratis and Independents ; in 18S3-S5
therewere 50 Republicans, sc Democrats
and Independents in 1885 81 there
were 3S Republicans, 81 Democrats
and I Independent, and in 1887 SO
there were SO Republicans, 81 Demo
Gratis and Independent.
The close vote in the Senate has now
passed away in consequence of the adj
mission of the four new States of Wash
ington, Montana and the two Dakotas,
three of which come in with two new
Senators, each making an addition of
six Senators all told, and all of them
Republicans. Montana may come with
two additional Republican Senators, but
this is subject to contest. In any event
the Republicans will now have clear
working majority in the Senate of either
~ to 81 or As to 80. This, with de-
cissive working majority in the House,
in consequence of the admission of the
new States, with General Harrison at
the White House, gives the Republicans
as already said, decisive control Of the
Federal Government. in both its Legis
lative and Executive branches for the
first time for fourteen years.

President Harrison nominated on
Wednesday, David ]. Brewer, of Kan
sas to be Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court OF the United States, to
succeed the late Stanley Matthew's.
Judge Brewer is a son of the Rev.
Josiah Brewer, who was missionary to
Asia Minor when the new justice was
born, but returned to this country when
David was 3 years old. The elder
Brewer was one of the first to volunteer
as a missionary to Turkey for the Amer
lean Board, and began his labors al
Smyrna only three years after the Greek
revolution. He was the first to intro
duce schools and the printing press into
Asia Minor, and established the first
paper in Smyrna.
Judge Brewer was educated at Wes-
leyan University, Connecticut, and al
Yale Csllege, where he was graduated
in 1886. He studied law in the office
OF his uncle, David Dudley Field, in
New York City, and at the Albany Law
School, from which he graduated in
1883, and was admitted to the bar IT
New York City. He engaged in farm
ing in Stockbridge, Mass, in 1850.
but finally removed to the West and be-
gan the practice of his profession in
Kansas City, Mo-, afterward removing
to Leavenworth, Kan.
In 1884, when Judge Brewer had en-
tered upon his third term as Supreme
Court judge, and held the position OF
chief justice, he was appointed by Pres
ldent Arthur, United States circuit judge
for the Eighth circuit, comprising the
states OF Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska
His predecessor in that position had
been Judge George w. McCrary, who
resigned from the bench to become
counsel for the Atkinson, Topeka ana
Santa Fe Railroad Company.
Judge Brewer has never been much
of politician. He is described as be-
ing man of great personal dignity,
ability and learning. Many of his de
c'slons as circuit Judge involving COM
plicated interstate questions have at
tracted wide attention, particularly those
constituting the prohibition and railroad
laws of the states included in his circuit
He it was who decided that state had
the right to confscate property and
drive brewers out of the business, in
enforcing their local prohibition laws.

The lengthy summary we publish OF
President Harrison's first message to
Congress, will give our readers a fair
idea OF the character and scope of this
paper, and which is an able and com
prehensive presentation of the policy OF
the Republican party. The message
as it deserves to be, has been very ia
vorably received by the country, un-
favorable criticism of it being confined
to partizan Democratic news papers.
The message is manly and conservative
in tone, and should commend the Pres
ident to intelligent thinkers irrespective
of partizan politics.

the hearty cooperation of the new man
agement, the Society will enter upon
fresh lease of life and prosperity.

wide difference "Oetween this admin
able little speech and the elaborate
aiIlir delivered from the Speakers desk
on the first Monday in December two
years ago. Then the Speaker and
spokesman was ohm G. Carlisle, a
graceful and accomplished orator. But
what vast difference in the oracle !
MIR. Carlisle's address was burdened
by menaces-predictions of dangers
threatening the Government and people
from both sides, with only disaster and
ruin IN front unless Congress should
rescue the country by prompt legislation
in the nature of such remedy and reve
nue. reform as was later on developed
by Mr.. Mlls's Committee on Ways and
Means.
That address was partizan argument
calculated to prepare the way for the
most unnecessary and unwise partisan
essays at tariff legislation, which follow
ed and fingered until they came to an
abortive issue in the late autumn of the
following year.
Since that Cassendra speech from the
Speakers desk on the first Monday OF
December, 1887, two years have come
and gone. Neither revulsion nor con
vulslon, nor financial calamity of any
kind has come to pass, and all the
"Gorgons and Hydras and Chimeras
dire" then in the full vision OF the evan
gelists of "Revenue reform" of the Mills
type have been dissipated into thin all
before the bright sunlight of the coun.
try's abundant prosperity"

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Opening of the Second Century Of the
Republic.
Tariff and Revenue. The Nations FINANCES.
Plea for Fair Treatment oI the
COIored People.

President Harrison sent his first annual
message to Congress at n0'n ON Tuesday.
The message begins by referring to the
cOrdilitv existing between tho United
States and the other governments of the
world, and refers briefly to the Pan
American and Maritime Congresses now
in session.
Tue message then touches upon in brief
paragraphs the following subjects: The
Samoan Commission, Fisheries and ex-
tradition, Commercial relations with
other countries, the Nicaragua canal, the
Paris exhibition, the antl-Slavery con-
gress in Brussels, sundry foreign relations
and naturaiZed citizens abroad, i'll which
later connection he says:
AN improper use of naturaliz alton
should not be permitted, but it is most
important that those who have been duly
uaturalized should every where be accord
ed recognition of the rights pertaining to
the citizenship of the country of their
adoption.
In speaking Of the revolution in Brazil
the President notifies Congress that ''our
minister has been further instructed to
extend on the part of this government a
formal and cordial recognition of the new
republic so soon as the majority OF the
people of Brazil shall have signified theil
assent to its establishment and mainte-
nance

MIR. "Tom' Reed of Maine whom
his Republican associates in the lower
House of Congress have inst honored
with the Speakership of that body, is
the subject of unusual complimentary
remark-in the newspapers at least
upon his unusually brief but no less
graceful and effective speech, on taking
the Speakers chair on Monday. "Gen-
tlemen of the House OF Representative"
said he: 81 thank you for the high Of
flee which your voices have bestowed
upon me. 1t would be impossible not
to be moved by its dignity and nouor !;
yet you may well imagine that l am
this moment more impressed by its re-
sponsiblllties and duties. Under our
system of government as it has been de-
veloped, these responsibilities and duties
are both political and parliamentary.
So far as the duties are political, l sin
cerely hope that they may be performed
with proper sense of what IS due to
all the people of the whole country. So
far as they are parliamentary, l hope
with equal sincerity that they may be
performed with proper sense of what
is due to both sides of the chamber.
Applause. To the end that l may be
successful in carrying out your wishes,
l invoke the considerate Judgment and
cordial aid of all the members of this
House" Long and continued ap-
plause.
