The Presidents Message.

To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tiUes:
The reports of the several executive
departments, which will be laid before
the congress in the usual course will ex-
hibit in detail the operation of the gov
eminent for the last fiscal year. Only the
more important incidents and results and
chiefly such as may be the foundation of
recommendations shall l submit in this
annual message
The vast and increasing business of the
government has been transacted by the
several departments during the year with
faithfulness, energy and success. The rev.
enues amounting to above four hundred
and fifty million dollars have been col
lected and disbursed without revealing
30 far as can ascertain a single case of
defalcation or embeZzlement. An earn
est effort has been made to stimu-
late a sense of responsibility and
public duty in all officers and employees
of every grade and the work done by
them has almost wholly escaped unfavor-
able criticism. l speak of these matters
with freedom because the credit of this
good work is not mine but is shared by the
heads of the several departments with
the great body of faithful ofdcers and
employees who serve under them. The
closest scrutiny of congress is invited to
all the methods of administration and to
every item of expenditure. The friendly
relations OF our country with the nations
o. Europe and Of th~ east nave been nm

common interest that binds us to the
states of the western hemisphere have
Oeen notably strengthened by the con-
ference held in this capital to consider
measures for the general welfare.

Postomce Department.

The report of the postmaster-gen
shows the most gratifying progress in the
important work committed to his direc-
ton. The business methods have been
greatly improved by large economy in
expenditure and an increase of four
and three-quarter millions in re-
ceipts have been realized. The de-
6cieney this year is So, 7SS, 800 as against
So, S50, 1S5 last year, notwithstanding the
great enlargement Of the service. Mail
routes have been exte1ded and quickened
and greater accuracy and dispatch in dis
ItrfbGtion and delivery have been at
tanned.
The report will be found to be full of
interest and suggestion not only to con-
gress, but TO those citizens who may be
interested to know what business meth
DDS can do for that department of public
administration which most nearly touches
all our people

The Pan American Congress.

Pursuant to the invitation authorized
by congress, the representatives of every
independent state of the American CONT
nent and of Hayti met in conference in
this capital in October, 1889, and contin-
ued in session until the 18th of last April.
This important convocation marks a most
interesting and influential epoch in the
history of the western hemisphere. 1t is
noteworthy that Brazil was invited, while
under imperial form of government, and
shared as a republic in the deliberations
and results of the conference, The rec
concentrations Of this conference were
all transmitted to congress at the last
session. The International marine con-
ference which sat at Washington last
year reached very gratifying result
The regulations suggested have been
brought to the attention of all govern
ments represented, and their general
adoption is confidently expected.
The legislation of congress at the last
session is in conformity with the propo-
sitions of the conference and the procla-
nation therein provided for will be is
sued when the other powers have
given notice of their adhesion.

General Foreign AfraIrs.

General Foreign Affairs.
The conference of Brussels to
devise means for suppressing the
slave trade in Africa afford
ed an opportunity for a new express
sion of the interest the American peo-
pie feel in that great work. 1t soon be-
came evident that the measure proposed
would tax the resources of the Congo
basin beyond the revenues avail
able under the general act
of Berlin of 1884 The United
States not being party to
that act, could not share in its revision,
but by separate act the independent
state of the Congo was freed from the re-
striction upon a customs revenue. The
decentralization and destructive traffic in
ardent spirits among the tribes also
claimed the earnest attention of the con-
ference and the delegates of the United
States were foremost in advocating meas
ures for its repression. An accord was
reached, the influence of which will be
very helpful As soon as these measures
shall receive the sanction of the Neither
lands for time withheld, the general acts
will be submitted for ratification by the
senate; meanwhile negotiations have been
opened for new and complete treaty OF
friendship, commerce and navigation be-
tween the United States and the indepen-
dent state of Congo.
THE LAST AMERICAN MONARCHY.
Toward the end of the past year, the only
independent monarchical government on
the western continent, that of Brazil,
ceased to exist and was succeeded by a re-
public. Diplomatic relations were at
once established with the new govern
ment, but it was not completely recog-
nized until an opportunity had been at
forded to ascertain that it had popular
approval and support. When the course
of events had yielded assurance Of this
fact. no time was lost In extending the
new government a full aud cordial vel
come into the family of American com
monwealths. 1t is confidently believed
that the good relations of the two coun-
tries will be preserved, and the future
will witness an increased intimacy of in
tercourse, and an expansion of their mu-
tual relations.
The peace of Central Americs
has again been disturbed through

Portland Press.
In view of widespread misun-
derstanding concerning the attitude of
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, will you kindly allow
me to make few statements through
the columns of the Press? There has
been no loss in membership Gas has
been reported) during the last year.
The report of the corresponding Sec
Rotary exactly agrees with that of the
treasurer. These reports plainly
show an increase of 1921 members
during the year.
We have never added to the tests
of membership in the National W. C.
T. U. which were in the beginning as
now, total abstinence, and the pay
ment of constitutional dues.
We have never had a "test of 10y
atty" By our Constitution as it has
ever been, and as it now is, we are
not bound to any party or sect. We
are free to recognize the principle of
prohibition wherever we see it. We
did not fail to "lend our influence"
to the Republicans in South Dakota
in their recent noble stand there, as
we'll as to the Prohibitionists in ILL
nois.
At our late national convention as
cordial welcome and as attentive
hearing were accorded to Henry W.
Blair as were given to Clinton B.
Fisk.
Frances Willard is not connected
with any political party, nor has she
ever been, save when in her absence
year ago, she was made advisory
member of the Prohibition party's
executive committee, which place she
shortly resigned. On the other hand,
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster (who lately left
our ranks), is chairman of the Wom-
ans National Republican Executive
Committee. She is also vice-presi-
dent of the "Spell Binders" Society,
to which only Republican campaign
orators belong. Which one of these
women looks the most like a ''parti-
san leader?"
The society was never doing more
than at the present time in educa-
tional, preventive, and reformatory
lines of work-and those who say we
have departed from these things and
"gone off into politics" misconstrue
the written record, and do not under
stand the spirit of the organization.
Thanking you for many courtesies
in the past, am most respectfully
yours, L. M. N. STEVENS,

A letter from Mrs. Judge Howell,
Of Dardanelle, gives graphic account
of the recent struggle there for Pro-

Six of the women had diligently cir
culated the petition and were encour-
aged by very many of the best people

the women were present, having to

Of the worst roads, and were in the
courtroom from Monday morning till
Saturday at midnight, and had to re-
turn again Monday and stay till We'd

on the petition, but the court allowed
them (the liquor men) to take off
good many names, while they could
add to their petition for license.
After making aflidavits to the petit
ton, the women had to identify each
name, but with all (even rubbing out
two names and putting others that Of

De Lessups' Folly.

of the canal company deny that the nego-
tions of Wyse with the Columbian gov
eminent for an extension of the conces-
sions have been ruptured. He admits,
however, the process of effecting a settle
ment with Columbia Is a slow one and
full of difficulty.
Reliable advices from the Isthmus de-
scribe the canal works as wrecked and
say eve the traces of the excavations are
vanishing. The construction machinery
is stated to be worthless now and its con
dition so bad that 1t is beyond bringing

1t was Ananlas who gained for himself
the immortal distinction of "Chief of
LIARS" and went to his grave. with his
mouth full of them. But 1t has been
reserved for Mr.. Rolfe to contest this dis
t~inction with Mr.. Ananias, and to exhibit
himself the monumental fool liar OF
Montana. In the last throes of his ex-
piring political breath in the hope that
he may mislead some u%nsuspectlng hon
est laboring man in the exercise of his
right to vote, he issues a glowing circular
at the last moment, 40 men discharged
at the dam because they refused to vote
the democratic ticket" 1t is needless to
say to intelligent people that there was
not one shadow of truth In the
circular. But from long and
constant association in his heart with un-
truth, falsehood has lost its enormity to
him and under his tongue he rolls it a
sweet morsel. and in his bosom carries 1t
a congenial companion. If MI. Hanks
ever had any chance for election, this one
foul act of his bosom friend and associate
was sufficient to ecure his defeat. 1t
will require many years of an upright
and circumspect life On the part of Mr..
Hanks to outlive the odor that has at
tached to him by his association with this
human monstrosity and restore public
confidence in his own purity. Most dan
gerous is the man who cries theft thief!
who walks In the garb Of the lamb and
within is a hungry cayote.

s. F. Shannon of Helena, agent for the
California Giant Powder Co., was in town
this week examining the work on the
new magazine now going up.
The new hotel building here is nearly
completed and only awaits occupancy.
This offers a rare chance for a good hotel
keeper, as it will be a permanent first

be a wonderful prospect. Since our last

feet daily. They have added a machine
for cutting shingles and will soon put on

Fatal Pass with a Knife.

SPOKANE FALLS, Nov. 4. Especial.
William Fitzner was fatally cut today by
Mike Lynch, former third baseman of
the Spokane club and now employed in
the boiler works here. The cutting &C.
Cured in front of a saloon on Howard
street. Lynch was examining a dirk
knife belonging to a bystander and Fltz-
ner asked to see it, at the same time max
ing a grab for it. Lynch, presumably in
fun, made a pass at him, the knife enter
ing the left side of the abdomen, sever
ing an artery. Fitzner was carried into a
saloon and died in twenty minutes.
Linch was locked up IN the county Jail.
The c%oroper's jury after three hours de-
liberation returned a verdict of acciden-

men were strangers to each other.
