PRESIDENT HARRISON has senL his
last message To Congress. As were lis
predecessors IL is a bright and able sd-
dress, lauding the Work and policy uf
the grand old Republican, party, and
gives Lisliucllyely the Presidents
views OH The subject of .ariff revision.
Mi. Harrison eulogizes protection as
it has been fostered by US for more
than thirty years; recommends that the
question OF tariff revision be left la
the incoming Congress, and regrets
that The work must be delayed for
more than, thee months. The thleat-
ened change made by our Democratic
friends has caused q great deal of in
action in business circles aud diiniu-
ished production will result until it is
definitely decided what these changes
shall be. In treating this subject the
President says:
$ If a system OF customs duties can
be framed that will set the idle wheels
and looms of Europe in motion and
crowd our warehouses with foreign
made goods and at the same time keep
our own mills busy, that will give us
increased participation in the market
of the world of greater value than the
hcue market we surrender; that will
tive increased work to foreign work.

amount of work to be done here, that will

JAY GOULD, millionaire and rail.
road magnate, died at his home il
New York city OH last Friday, at the
comparatively early age of Ifty-six
His career was remarkable one, but
not great one; his character was
striking but not admirable. He began
life as farmers boy. Early strug-
giles and hardships serve 10 keep most
neil in touch with the masses, but
not so with Gould, whose life Of un-
scrupelous money getting is noted for
his utter disregard of tie welfare Of
his fellow morlals. And with all his
heard ded millions Of dollars, he went
out upon the great unknown veritablt
beggar. How pitful how poor =
The traits in his character which all
Can honestly admire were his devotion
to his family, the purity of his personal,
private life, and freedom from os-
tenlatious display of his wealth. He
used his money more for corrupting
Legislatures and destroying railroads
than for any luxurious indulgence
Aside from his children, there is
scarcely one to mourn his death. He
leaves six children to inherit his for
tune. His funeral took place on Tues
day. His body was laid to rest beside
his wife in Woodlawn Cemetery.
