While the policies of the general gov

matters OF grave and general concern are
liable to be turned this way or that by the
results OF congressional elections and adj

pre- esldential election, there is rightful
interest IN all the states and in every con-
gressional district that will not be de-
celved or silenced by the audacious pre-
tense that the question of the right of
any body of legal voters in any state or in
any congressional district to give their
suHrages freely upon these general ques-
t1ons is matter only of local concern or
control. The demand that the limitations
OF suffrage shall be found in the law, and

man should resent OR resist it.. My appeal

that our people have ceased to
regard a free ballot and equal repre-

OF agriculture was regarded by anv one
as mere concession to the unenlightened
demand of a worth class of people, that
impression has been most effectuallv
removed by the great results already
attained. Its home influence has been
very great in disseminating agricultural
and horticultural information, in stimu-
lating and directing further DIVERSE
fication Of crops; in detecting and eradi-
eating diseases of domestic animals
and, more than all, in the close and in
formal contact which it has established
and maintains with the farmers and
stock raisers of the whole country.
Every request for information has had
prompt attention and every suggestion
merited consideration. The Scientific
corps of the department. is of a hioh
order and is pushing its investigations
with method and enthusiasm.
The inspection by this department. of
cattle and pork products intended for
shipment abroad has been the basis of
the success which has attended our ef-
forts to secure the removal of the re-
strictions maintained by the European
governments. For ten years protests
and petitions upon this subject from The
packers and stock raisers of the United
States have been directed against these
restrictions, which so seriously limited
our markets and curtailed the profits Of
the farm. It is source of general con-
graduation that success has at last

our chief national danger lies, I should
say without hesitation, in the overthrow
of majority control by the suppression
or perversion of the popular suffrage,
An attempt was made in the last con-
gress to bring to bear the constitutional
powers of the general government for
the conviction of frauds against the suf-
frage. It is important to know whether
the oppOsision to such measures is really
rested in particular features supposed
to be Objectionable or includes any pro-
position to give to the election laws of
the United States adequacy to the cor
rect1on OF grave and acknowledged
evils. l must entertain the hope that it

statutory changes as may be necessary

st1tute commission, non-partisan in its
membership and composed of patriotic,
wise and impartial men, to whom con
connected with our election system and
methods might be committed with d
good prospect of securing unanimity il
some plan for removing or mitigating
those evils. The constitution wo1.i..

in the history of the army The resulting
money saving is considerable, but the i'm
provenent in the morals of the men is the
most valuable incident of the reforms
which have brought about this result.
The work of securing sites for shore bat
teries, for harbor defence and the manu-
facture Of mortars and guns and the
power to equip them have made good pro-
gress during the year. The preliminary
work of tests and plans, which so long
delayed start, is now out of the way,
Some guns have been completed, and with
an enlarged shop and a more complete
equipment at Watervliet the armv will
soon be abreast of the navy in gun con-
struction. Whatever unavoidable cause
of delay may arise, there should be none
from delayed or insufficient appropria
tioHs. We shall be greatly embarrassed
in the proper distribution and use of naval
vessels until adequate shore defenses are
provided for our harbors .s
concur in the recommendation of the
secretary that the three battalion oreani

adoption of a smokeless powder and OF a
modern rifle equal in range, precision and
rapidity of fire to the best now in use
will, hope, not be longer delayed
