country, in relation to the dropping of
pensioners from the rolls, when 1t says.

honest man in the United States
without regard to his politics; but the
recklessness with which Secretary
Hoke Smith is pursuing his 'investiga-
ton and the spirit which palpably
actuates the work, is resulting in such
monumental injustice as should b.
execrated by every Decent person In

Mr.. Cleveland's Message.

The eagerly expected message from
President Cleveland TO congress- Is
before the people. 1t ia characteristic
of Mr.. Cleveland in It's directness and
unhesitatipg utterances as well as In
it's ponderous and solemn expression OF
general truths which nobody on earth
disputes. Mr.. Cleveland can probably
compress more undisputed statements
into a column and half Of presumably
original thinking than any man on
earth.
Mr.. Cleveland seems to have a desire
for solid and safe money, wish In
which every American citizen will
Join, but he does not tell us how TO get
it. lie is evidently at sea financially
as he has been actually most OF the
summer
Mr.. Cleveland recommends abs)'
lutely nothing except the repeal OF the
Sherman law, an action upon which
the country was well agreed before.
Farther than that he deals in ponderoup
platitudes and attempts TO give the
impression of omniscient Josslike
rulership which has always been part
Of Mr.. Cleveland's unique personality.
The pathetic reference to tariff
reform at the close is like the dying
wall of pet hope and is calculated to
make even a Tammany tiger smile.
It is evident Grover has little heart in
that portion OF his remarks.
When congress has repealed the
silver purchase law, as 1t would have
done probably in any event, it will
have fulfilled every tangible recon-
mendation Of the president. Beyond
that the administration has shroudet
itself in gloom and mystery.
The Democracy is at the forks Of
the road and 1t will be many week.
