not only exhibits the operations of the
department for the fiscal year. but con
tains many valuable suggestions for the
improvement and extension of the serv-
ice, which are commended to your at
tention. No other branch of the govern.
ment has SO close contact with the
daily life of people. Almost everyone
uses the service II offers, and every hour
gained in the transmission Of the great
commercial mails Is an active and posi-
tive value that only those engaged In
trade can understand. The saving OF
one day in the transmission of the mail
between San Francisco and New YORK,
which has recently been accom- mplishnd,
is an incident worthy OF mention. The
plan suggested of u supervision
of the postofiice in separate
districts that shall involve the instruc.
ton and rating OF efficiency of tho post
masters would, have no doubt, greatly
improve the service.
A pressing necessity exists for the
erection OF q building for the joint use OF
the department and of the city postof-
flee. The department was partially re.
licved by renting outside quarters for
crowded. The building used by the city
Office never was fit for the purpose, and
is now inadequate and UNIV holesome.
The unsatisfactory condition of the
law relating to the transmission through
the mails of lottery advertisements and
remittances Is clearly stated by the post
master general, and his suggestion as Ia
its amendment should have your favor
able consideration,

laps result from the consideration of
this subject by congress, but this
temporary i'll effect will be reduced to
minimum by prompt action and the
assurance which the country enjoys that
any necessary changes will be so made
as not to impair the just and reasonable
protection OF our home industries. Tho
inequalities of tho law should be ad-
justed, but the productive principal
should be maintained and fairly applied
to the products Of our farms rs we'll as
of our shops.
These duties necessarily have a re.
lation to other things besides tho public
revenues. We can not limit their effects
by liking our eyes on the public treasury
alone. They have direct relation to
home production, to work, to wages and
to the commercial independence of our
country, and the wise and patriotic legis.
lator should enlarge the field Of
his vision to include all of these
The necessary reduction in our public
revenues can, ! am sure, be made with
out making tho smaller burden more
oncrous than the largar by reason of tho
disabilities and limitations which the
process of reduction puts upon both cap.
ital and labor. The FREQ list can very
safety be extended by placing thereon
articles thet do not offer injurious COM
petition to such domestic products as
our home labor can supply. The re-
moval of the internal tax upon tobacco
would relieve an important agricultural
product from burden which was i'm
posed only because our revenue from
he customs duties was insufficient for
the public needs. If safe provision
against fraud can be devised, the re-
moval Of the tax upon spirits used in
the oils and in manufactures would also
ofer an unobiectionablc method of re-
ducing the surplus.

COAST DEFENs Es.

Appropriations Recommended for
the Better Protection of Exposed
Cities.
Judged by modern standards, wo are
practically without coast defenses.
Many Of the structures wo have would
enhance. rather than diminish tho pcrils
of their garrisons, II subjected to fire Of
improved guns, and very few are so To-
Gated as 20 give full effect to the greater
range guns, and such guns as we are
now making for coast defense use. This
general subject has had consideration
in congress for years, and the appropria-
tions for the construction of large ritied
guns made ono year ago was,
! am sure, the expression of u
purpose to provide suitable works in
which these guns might be mounted.
An appropriation now made for that
purpose would not advance the compile
ton OF the works beyond our ability to
supply them with effective guns. The
security of our coast cities against for
eign attacks should not rest altogether
in the friendly disposition OF other ma
tions. There should be second line
wholly In our own keeping. urgently
recommend an appropriation Mt this
session for the construction of such
works In our much exposed harbors.
approve the suygcs ton of the secre-
tary OF war that provisions be made for
cncamping companies OF the National
Guard In our coast works for q specified
time each year for their training in the
use of heavy guns.
The suggestion that an increase Of the
artillery force of the army is desirable is
also, In this connection commended 10
the consideration of congress.

TO lands can now be obtained The gen.
cral land laws were framed with refer
encc to the disposition Of agricultural
lands, and II Is doubtful If their opcrR
ton in Alaska would DO beneficial. va
have fortunately not extended to Alaska
the mistaken policy of the established
reservations for the Indians tribes,
and can deal with them from
the beginning as individuals, with,
am sure, better results. But any dispo-
sition of the public lands, and any regu-
lations leading to timber and to the
fisheries should have u kindly regard TO
their interests. Having no power to
levy taxes, the people OF Alaska are
wholly dependent upon the general
government, to whose revenues tli" seal
fisheries make "A large annual contribu-
ton. An appropriation should neither be
overlooked nor stinted. The smallncss
Of the population and the great dis
tances between the settlements offer Sc
riouo obstacles to tho establishment of
the usual territorial form of govern
mont. Perhaps the organization Of
several sub.districts with small muni-
cipal council of limited power, for
each, would be safe and useful.
Attention is called In this connection
to the suggestions of the secretary Of the
treasury, relating to the establishment OF
another port of entry in Alaska and OF
other needed customs facilities and regu-
lutions,

THE FOUR NEW STATES.
Their Advent Into the Union a Re-
markable Event,

The advent of the four new states,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana
and Washington, into the Union, under
the constitution, in the same month, and
the admission of their duly chosen rep-
resentatives to our national congress at
the same session. is an event as unexam-
pied as it is interesting. The certifica-
ton of the votes cast and of the consti-I y
tutions adopted in each of the states way
filed with me, as required by the eighth
section of the act of February 90, 1885,
by the governors of said territories re-
spectively. Having. after careful ex
animation, found that the several con-
stitutions and governments were repub-
lican in form and not repugnant to the
constitution of the United States; that
all the provisions of the act of congress
had. been complied with, and
that majority of all the votes
cast in each of said proposed states was
in favor of adopting the constitutions
submitted therein, declared them states
by q separate proclamation as to each, as
TO North Dakota and South Dakota, on
Saturday, November p as to Montana,
Friday November 8, and as to Wash
ington, on Monday, November II.
Each Of these states has within i
will employ the energies and yield conf
Portable subsistence to a great population.
The smallest of these new states, Wash
ington, stands twelfth, and the largest,
Montana, third among the forty-two in
area. The people Of these states are
already well trained, intelligent and
patriotic American citizens, having conn
mon interests and sympathies with thost
of the older states and a common pDf-
pose to defend the integrity and uphold
the honor of the nation.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Better Protection Asked for Railway
Employees.

The attention of the interst ate COM
merce commission has been called to
the urgent need of congressional legis-
lation for the better protection of the
lives and limbs of those engaged in
operating the great interstate freight
lines OF the country, and especially of
the yardmen and brakemcn. A petition
by nearly 10000 brakemen was pre-
sented to this commission. asking that
steps be taken to bring about the use OF
automatic brakes and couplers on
freight cars.
At a meeting of the state railroad
commissioners and their accredited rep
resentatives, held .at Washington in
March last upon tho invitation of the
interstate commerce commission, reso-
luton was unanimously adopted urging
the commission tn consider what can he
done TO prevent the loss of life
and limb in coupling and uncoupling
freight cars and in handling the brakes
Of such cars. During the year ending
June 30, 1888, over 1000 railroad en-
ployos have been killed in the service
and moro than 10000 injured. 1t is
competent, think, for congress to re-
quire uniformity in the construction of
the cars used In interstate commerce and
the use Of improved safety appliances
upon such trains. Time will hc ncccs-
sary to make the needed changes, but an
earnest and intelligent beginning should
be made at once. II is q reproach to
our civilization that any class OF Amcri-
can workmen should In the pursuit of u
necessary and useful vocation be sub

PENSIONS.
Greater Libsrality Urged In Behalf
OF the INDECENT anu Worthy.

Tho law provides q pension for every
soldier and sailor who was mustered
into the service of the United States
during the civil war and is now suffer-
ing from wounds or disease having an
origin in the service and In line of duty.
Two of the three necessary facts, viz,
muster and disability, are usually sus.
ceptible of easy proof, but the third
origin in the service Is often difficult,
and in many deserving cases impossi-
BILE to establish. That very many OF
those who endured the hardships of our
most bloody and arduous campaigns are
now disabled from disease that had
real, although not traceable, origin in
the service, we do not doubt. Besides
these there Is another class, composed
of mon, many of whom served in an en-.
listment of three full years, and of the
re enlisted veterans who added fourth
year OF service, who escaped the casu-
alties of battles and the assaults of dis.
ease; who were always ready for any de-
tail; who were in the very battle line OF
their command and were mustered ouA
in sound health, and have, since tb
close of the war, while fighting with thy
same indomtable and independent
spirit, the contests of civil life, hava
been overcome by disease or casualty.
lam not unaware that the pension
roll already involves very large an
nual expenditure, neither am deferred
by that fact from recommending that
congress grant pension to such honor.
ably discharged sailors and soldiers OF
the civil war, as, having endured sub.
stantial service during the war, are now
de pendent upon their own labor for a
maintenance, and by diseases or casualty
are incapacitated for earning it. Many
OF the men who would be included in
this form of relief arc now dependent
upon public aid, and it does not in my
Judgment consist with the national
honor that they shall continue to subsist
upon the local relief given indiscrimi-
nately to paupers, instead of upon tho
nation they served so gallantly and un.
selfishly. Our people WILL l am
sure, very generally approve such
sure that the survivors OF the
American army and navy will feel q
grateful sense of relief when this worthy
and suffering class of their comrades al
fully cared for.
There are some manifest conditions u
existence that should be remedied. 10
some of these the ..secretary of the inter-
ior has called attention.
II is gratifying to be able to state that
the adoption of new and better methods
in the war department, and the calls of
the pension office for information as to
the military and hospital records. Of
pension claimants, are now promptly
answered, and that the injurious and
vexatious delays that have heretofore
occurred are entirely avoided. This
will greatly facilitate the adjustment Of
all pending claims.

lations with several countries IN respect
to the rights OF naturalized citizens. Els.
pecially is this the case with France,
Italy, Russia and Turkey, and to linn
tied extent with Switzerland. From
made to regulate this subject by conven..
tions. An improper use of
naturalization should not be permitted,
but 1t Is important that those who have
been duly naturalized should every
where be accorded the recognition of the
rights pertaining to citizens of the coun.
10y Of their adoption. Tho appropriate
ness of special conventions for that pur-
pose is recognized In the treaties which
this government has concluded with u
number of European powers, and IL Is
advisable that the difficulties which now
arise In our relations with other coun-
tries on tho same subject should be sim
ilarly adjusted.
THE REPUBLIC OF BHAzfL.

tirst floor were used by Gustave Gross as
a bakery. The second floor was occu-
pied as a dwelling by Gross and wife and

THE MINNEAPOLIS FIRE.
Evidence That the Building Never
Was Considered Safe.

MrSsEAroLIs, Nov. 3.--The remains of
Prof Olson of the South Dakota uni
versity, Milton Pickett of the Pioneer
Press, and Compositor Robert Nc
Cutcheon were buried to. day. The
body of f.. J. Jenkinson was
taken to Sioux City by his relatives.
The other three victims will be buried
tomorrow. Owing to tine dangerous
condition of the ruins of the burned
building no search has yet been made
for more bodies.
Before the coroner's jury to-day, the
builder of the structure stated that
wooden stairs were ordered put
in instead of iron, on account
of difference in expense of
about $1,000. The building inspector
said that he never considered the build.
ing n safe one, and said that three
months ago a committee called on him
and said that they feared that it might
fall down any time without warning,
