water is the owner Of the lands, however
the titles may run.
Unappropriated natural water sources
and all necessary reservoir sites should
be held by the government for the equal
use, at fair rates, of the homestead set

lands.
The United States should not, in my
opinion, undertake the construction OF
dams and canals, but should limit work
to such surveys and observations rs Will
determine the water supply both surface

irrigation and the use, location and stor-
age capacity of reservoirs.
This done, the use of the water and
Of the reservoirs might be granted to the

tion that the necessary works should be

rates to be subject TO supervision by the
legislatures or by boards of water COM

The essential thing TO be secured is the
common and equal use at fair rates OF

ceedirg year and was only exceeded once
in our history About S100, 100000 OF this
excess was in agricultural products.
The production of pig iron. always a
good gauge of general prosperity, Is
shown by a recent census bulletin to have
been 1J3 per cent. greater in 1890 than In
1880 and the production of steel 29o per
cent. greater. Mining in coal has no
limitation, except that resulting from
deficient transportation.
The general testimony is that labor is
everywhere fully employed and the re-
ports for the last year show a smaller
number of employees affected by strikes
and lcck-outs than in any year since 1854.
The depression in the prices of agri-
cultural products had been greatly revived
and buoyant and hopeful tone was be-
ginning to be felt by all our people.
THE FURRY IN STOCKS
These promising Influences have been
in some degree checked by the surpris-
ing and very unfavorable monetary events
which have recently taken place in Eng
land. 1t is gratifying to know that these
did not grow ir any degree out OF the Il
nancial relations OF London with our peo-
pie or out OF any discredit attached to
our securities held in that market.
The return of our bonds and stocks
was caused by money stringency IN
England, not by any loss of value OF
credit in the securities themselves
We could not, however, wholly es-
cape the i'll effects of foreign
monetary agitation accompanied by such
extraordinary incidents as characterized
this II is NOT believed however thai
these evil incidents which have for the
time unfavorably affected values in this
country can long Withstand the strong

operating to give our people profitable
returns in all branches of Legislative

Important Ellis.

In addition to the important bills that
become laws before the adjournment of
the last session some other bills of the
highest Importance were Well advanced
toward final vote and now stand upon
the calendars of the two houses.
The present session has n fixed limit,
and il these measures are not brought to
a final vote all the work that has been
done upon them by this congress is lost.
The proper consideration of these, of an
apportionment bill and of the annual ap-
preparation bills Will require not only
that no working day of the session shall
not be allowed to interrupt or retard the
progress of those that are Of universal
interest.
In view OF these conditions | refrain
from bringing before you ut this time
some suggestions that would otherwise
be made, and most earnestly invoke
your attention TO the duty of perfecting
the important legislation now well ad-
vanced.
To some OF these measures which seem
to me most important | now briefly cell
your attention.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES.
desire to repeat with added urgency
the recommendations contained in my
last annual message in relation to the
development of American steamship
lines.
The reciprocity clause of the tariff
will be largely limited and its benefits re-
tarded and diminished if provision is not
contemporaneously made to encourage
the establishment of firstcias steam
communication between our ports and
the ports of such nations as may meet
| our overtures fer enlarged commercial
exchanges.
The steamship carrying the mails
statedly and frequently and offering to
passengers comfortable, safe and speedy
| transit, is the first condition of foreign
trade. 1t carries the order of the buyer.
but not all that is ordered or sought. It
gives to the sailing vessel such cargoes
as are not urgent or perishable, and indi-
| rectly at least promotes that important
adjunct of commerce.
There is now both in this country and
| in the nations of Central and South Amer
| ica state of expectation and confidence
as to increased trade that will give 8
double value to your prompt action upon
| this question.
THE AUSTRALIAN NAILS.
The present situation of our mail com
munication with Australia, illustrates the
importance of early action by congress.
The Oceanic steamship company main
tains a line of steamers between San
Francisco, Sydney and Auckland consist
| ing Of three vessels, two of which are of
United States registry and one of foreign
registry.
For the service done by this line in car
rying the mails we pay annually $4,000,
being as estimated, the full sea and
United States inland postage, which is
the limit fixed by law. The colonies Of
New South Wales and New Zealand have
been paying annually to these lines ST.
600 pounds for carrying the mails from
Sydney and Auckland to San Francisco.
The contract ander which this payment
+, has been made is about to expire and
those colonies have refused to renew the
| contract unless the United States shall
pay . more equitable proportion Of the
whole sum necessary to maintain the ser
+! vice.

Ihe business situation.

| congratulate the onCress and the
country upon the passage at the first ses-
sion of the fiftyfrSt congress of an un-
usual number of laws OF very high i'm
portance.
The results of this legislation will
be the quickening and enlargement of our
manufacturing industries. larger and bet
ter markets for our breadstuffs and pro-
visions, both at home and abroad, more
constant employment and better wages
for our working people and an increased
supply of q safe currency for the tran
saction of business.
l do not doubt but that some of these
measures were enacted at so late per-
iod that the beneficial effects upon com
merce which were in the contemplation
of congress, have as yet, but partially
manifested themselves. The general
trade and industrial conditions through
out the country during the year have
shown marked improvement. For
many years prior to 1888 the merchandise
balances of foreign trade had been large
ly in cur favor, but during that year and
the year following they turned against us.
1t is very gratifying to know that the
last fiscal year again shows q balance in
our l2NOr Oh over SOo,VUU.UUU.
BANK CLEARIN6S.
The bank clearings, which furnish a
good test of the volume of business
transacted for the first ten months of the
year 1890, shows as compared with the
same months of 1889, an increase for the
whole country of S.4 per cent and the in
crease outside Of the city of New York
was over IL per cent.
During the month of October the clear
ings of the whole country showed an in
crease of 81 per cent over October, 1899,
while outside of New York the increase
was 111a per cent. These figures show
that the increase in the volume of bust
ness was very general throughout the
country. That this larger business was
being conducted upon a safe and profit
able basis is shown by the fact that there
were three hundred less failures reported
in October, 1890, than in the same month
of the preceding year with liabilities d.
minished by about five million dollars.
= The value Of our exports uf domestic
merch.cdise during the last year was

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
At the last session had occasion to re-
turn with my objections several bills
making provisions for the erection OF
puDlic buildings, for the reason that the
expenditures contemplated, were in my
OPP Ion greatly in excess of any public
ne No class OF legislation is more Ii
able TO abuse or to degenerate into an I'M

There should be exercised in this mat
ter a wise economy, based upon some re-
sponsible and impartial examination and
report to each case under 4 general law.

by those having the power of appoint

increasingly satisfactory. The report OF

The Forthcoming Celebration to be the
Greatest Ever Held in tine State.
A celebration the equal of which has
never been seen in Montana will take place
in this city on the Fourth Of July next.
The Patriotic Sons of America have taken
the matter in hand and are determined to
make it an immense success. COntrlbu-
tions to the fund are not so great as antici-
pated, still sufficient will be obtained for
the purpose. The collection last year was
much greater than it has been possible to
collect at this time, but notwithstanding
this fact the celebration will be better in
every respect. There is said to have been a
considerable amount left over from last
year, but exactly what that sum is nobody
seems to be able to state. Whatever it is it
ought to be turned over to the committee
having the matter in charge now that it
may be expended for the benefit of the city.
One hundred merchants have already signi-
fled their intention to take part in the pa
rade, and each will furnish an exhibit Of
their respective merchandise. This will
make 100 teams and wagons. The Patriotic
Sons of America, the Knights of Pythias.
the Turner's society, the G. A. r.. Sons of
fire department., civilians lin carriages and
on foot, the whole to be led by the Capital
City band. In the evening the streets will
be lit up with brilliant arches ablaze with
gas and electric lights. The NJ. N. G. con-
template giving grand ball at the arsenal;
the Turner's also expect to give a ball in
and all visitors will be royalty
entertained. Everyone should take deep
interest in the matter and make this the

the Wanamaker school, according to the
agile associated press, 'has placed COW
at the disposal Of the family" Who
said republics were ungrateful?

THE failure of the census bureau to
perform the work it has undertaken is
conceded on every side, by republican and
democratic newspapers alike. The fail
ure is due to a federal administration
whose members hold as cardinal creed
that public office is a party snap. The
census bureau was looked upon as q
huge political engine and the Clarksons
and Dudleys and Quays proceeded to
work it fer all it was worth. Mr.. Porter,
an Englishman who wrote free trade ar
ticles until Pennsylvania manufacturers
hired him to write "protection" argu.
ments, was selected to superintend the
enumeration because he was a plant
tool OF these republican politicians. He
has conducted the work in compliance
with the wishes of the bosses. Evide ace
daily accumulates to show that there
is method in the failure of the
enumerators to obtain complete list
OF the inhabitants in many sections of
the country. This is notably true of
the southern states where the republi-
can leaders are interested in showing a
very small increase of population in
order 20 prevent these states from
securing increased representation in
congress. From one end of the country
to the other, the census bureau is vast
republican machine doing an important
work so badly as to bring discredit on
the entire American people.
