THE MESSAGE.

There is but little to be said of IN.
Presidents message, published yester.
day.
It Is an able and exhaustive state
paper-too long and too prolix. vet
scarcely more than covering the ground
that must be covered by the last mes
sage OF a president who is about TO re-
tire from office. Ii was incumbent mn
on President Harrison to present TO con-
gress and the nation the facts upop
which justification of the work of his
administration must be based. ae has
done so with the degree of care and
thoroughness that has characterized all
of his official documents and all of bis
official acts.
The character of presidential mes
sage to congress and the occasion that
demands 1t necessitate considerable
repetition of facts entirely well-kpown
TO congress and TO the country. and tbo
presentation of great volume of dry
facts and statistics that can not be ey.

serious attention of the mass of peonle
1t Is mistake to contend that a mos.
sage to congress should be i'm anv sepso
popular document. If it was that IL

ton, which is its prime object.
Mr.. Harrison makes out a very good
case for the Republican theory Of the
tariff, as must be the result of anv
honest examination of conditions and
facts. He gives "A clear view of the
general condition of the affairs of IN.
country, in rather laborious fashion
and he makes some suggestions relative
10 needful legislation that merit tho
attention Of congress.

Sherman law. But il was not possible
to handle the silver quest on in presi-
dental message while the monetary
conference was sitting at Brussels.
The President was chief instigator of
the conference, and until its sessions
are over 1t is manifestly impossible for
him to make any recommendation
whatever regarding silver.
1t is impossible not to approve of the
message, yet it lacks much that should
constitute first-class state paper. Per-
haps it lacked thorough editing by a
