cold which he had. Mr.. Elder took down
abottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

excellent preparation and cheap" Mr..
Dyer purchased bottle, and the next

There were no material changes In pota-

sumed by the demand The local demand is
picking up, SO the market remains somewhat
firm.
Onions hold their own, and some Australians
are selling at slight advance.
good lot of oranges arrived by steamer yes
terday. This morning the market was firm for
choice navels of desirable size. Lots OF poor
quality oranges are yet being solo to peddlers
at nominal prices. Notwithstanding the fact
that 500 boxes Of Mexican lines arrived on the
market has been SO bare that prices are firm at
the highest figures. Lemons are slow, and ap-
pies are inclined to drag.
There is no change In the butter market.
Prices are held at 23@24c tor fancy roll, but
this morning there were tendencies to weak

The visitor walked to the phone,
rang the bell, and probably without
waiting for an answer, gave a number.

he, giving the name of very prOmin-
ent and wealthy citizen of Detroit.

"Well, when he comes will you
please tell him that can't come up to
dinner tonight. This is Mr.. Hem
erickson.
"Yes, Mr.. Oliver Hendrickson.
Il am sorry too, but a business en-
gagement makes it impossible. | will
call tomorrow. Good-by"
He stepped from the instrument,
thanked the bartender and said:
"Give me a gin fizz, please"
He swallowed the drink, ordered an
imported cigar, lit it, and then discov-
cred that he had no change. Looked
embarrassed and then gave his name
again. "I'll be in tomorrow and
fix it.
The bartender didn't kick at all, the
telephone conversation fixed il. Mr..
Hendrickson hasn't "oome in" yet, nor
has he fixed it," The drink mixer
doesn't remember the telephone NUM-

There are civil war and cholera in
China there are famine and epidemic
influenza in Russia there are politi-
cal commOtiop aud yellow fever in
Brazil there are squabbles without
end in all the republics of South and
Central America; there are oppressive
appFehenslons of the outbreak of a
gigantic international struggle in Eu-
rope. As for Africa, where most OF
the natives are black, few of them live
in concord.
So it goes the world around. The
grievances of mankind crowd each
other,
Let not the people of the United
States crow. We have provender in
plenty; we are free from the plaques
that affiict some other countries; we
enjoy peace and are not menaced with
war; we have politics that keep our
minds active; we have ellivenlng
sports of many kinds at all seasons of
the year we have preachers by the

have papers that are worth reading !;
we have sciences aud arts and dramas

desirable things useful to the body and
the soul. Yet let not the American
people crow any more or any louder

THE POSTAL SERVICE.

In the postal service, the extension
of the free delivery system to towns of
5000 people and over, is recommended.
The years experience under the ocean
mail subsidy legislation, does not strike
the President as discouraging, or as
affOrding any reason for turning back
in this policy. The pension figures
show GIG, 100 persons on the roll on
the Both of June, and an estimate of
$144 $4,000 for next years expendi-
lures, but the President noticeably
makes no recommendations whatever
as to this branch of the public service.
He asks further appropriations for the
methods of the Census Bureau. He
thinks the civil service law is impair
TALLY executed. The Chinese are
coming to this country in great num-
bers, mostly through Canada, and
legislation is asked to declare whether
they shall be sent thither or to China,
since existing laws have received diff
erent interpretations, aud the approp-
riatiOns under them are also defective.
Legislation amending the Jurisdiction
of United States courts in cases of
felony, is also desired. For the third
time and most urgently, the President
asks Congress to pass a law for the
protection of the lives of the railroad
employees, specially directed to requir-
ing automatic cOuplers and air brakes
for freight cars.

OUR TERRITORIES.

In discussing the territories, the
President says the United States Gov
eminent should part with its owner
ship of the water sources and sites for
reservoirs, whether to states and terri
tories or to individuals or corporations,
only upon conditions securing to set
tiers their proper water supply upon
equal and reasonable terms. For
Alaska some simple form of town gov
eminent is recommended. OF Indian
lands 100000 acres have been open
ed to settlement since March 4th, 1889,
and it is suggested that commission
should offer to the five civilized tribes
citizenship and representation in Con-
gress. Education is a leading element

GRRRYMANDERING.

Michigan's recent legislation, depart
ing from the usual custom of choosing
presidential electors, leads to criti-
cism of that innovation, and to gem
eral discussion of gerrymanders in
Congressional districts, followed by

by the Supreme Court, for considering
the question of suffrage and the cleo
tions, wind up the message.
