iarih' reform is directly bcforeus. Nothing so IN
portant claims our attention aud nothing so clearly
presents itself as both opportunity and duty
After full discussion our countrymen have spoken
in favor of this reform, and they have eonfded the
work of its accomplishment to the hands of those
who are solemnly pledged TO it.
Manifestly, if we are to aid the people directly
through tariff reform, one OF its most obvious fea
lures should be reduction in present tariff charges
upon the neeessaries of life. The benefits of such
reduction would be palpable and substantial seen
and felt by thousands who would be better fed and
better clothed and better sheltered These gifls
should be the willing benefactions Of II government
whose highest function is the promotion of the wei
peoples prosperity and well-beng is the removal of
restrictions upon the importation of the raw mate
rails necessary to our manufactures. measure has
been prepared by the appropriate congressional
committee. embodying tariff reform on the lines
herein suggested 1t is the result of much patriotic
and unselfsh work. and it is believed that it deals
with its subject consistently and as thoroughly as
existing conditions permit.
To provide against a temporary deficiency which
may exist before the business of the country adjusts
itself to the tariff schedules the committee has
wisely embraced in their plan few additional in
ternal revenue taxes, including a small tax upon
incomes derived from certain corporate investments
These assessments are not only absolutely Just
and easily borne but they have the further merit of
being such as can be remitted without unfavorable
business disturbance whenever the necessity of
their imposition no longer exists.

lrhe Presidents Message.

President Cleveland submitted his frs
annual message to Congress on Monday
last. 1t is essentially a business commu
nication, laying before Congress, in accor,
dance with the constitutional requirement
an account of the operations of the govern.
ment.
A considerable part is devoted TO foreign
affairs, and upon the Hawaiian imbroglio
the President, true to his conviction of
right, aud regardless of the adverse criticism
of certain influential Journals, boldly pro-
claims his purpose TO right wrong done Il
friendly government by the active aid of
our Minister and the presence of our naval
forces He tells the Congress our present
Minister was charged with this duty, but
that he has no definite information as to
the situation of affairs in Hawaii When
information is received he will lay the
whole matter before Congress, aud accom-
panying the documents may be expected
vigorous and able message upon our foreign
policy.
The message deals with every matter of
domestic affairs, and with vigor and direct
ness. It has no 81 ccially striking features.
The President adheres to his views on fl
nance, the tariff and civil service reform.
His convictions on these matters are too
deep-rooted to be shaken by political re-
verses, charged by Il partisan press and
politicians to hostility to the policy of the
Administration.
A synopsis of the message is given in
this issue.

Van Allen Declines.

Mr.. J. j Van Allen, appointed Ambas-
sador to Italy. has declined the appoint
ment. He mad large contribution to
the Democratic campaign fund. and certain
purchasable newspapers, estimating others
by their own low standard, charged that
thc appointment was in return for the
campaign contribution. Mr.. Van Allen, in
his letter of declension. declared that his
contribution was made for patriotic and
selfish motives patriotic, because he was
impressed with the conviction that Demo
cratic principles applied to government
were more conducive to the public good
than Republican; and selfish, because Re
publican ascendancy was detrimental to
his business interests. The contribution,
Mr. Van Allen says, was not the first he
had made to the Democratic cause, but he
did not care to embarrass Mr.. Cleveland in
the matter, and declined to accept the place,
for no amount of explanation on his part,
as TO the reason of his large contribution,
would convince certain people of the true
motives that impelled him, nor relieve the
impression with them that his position was
a reward for his contribution. Mr.. Cleve-
land asked him to reconsider, and show by
his service the wisdom and propriety Of his
selection. aud not allow himself to be in
Auenced by malignant criticism that has
no Justification. Mr.. Van Allen remained
firm and adhered to his decision, however.
His letter declining the position was writ
ten on November 20

Judge Brubaker, in court at Lancaster. Pa.
on Monday severely criticised the district at
torney, clerk of quarter sessions, magistrates
and constables for multiplying cases. He
said he had examined 357 cases, the costs of
which he had cut down between two and
three thousand dollars, and warned all con
cerned that he would no longer tolerate the
abuse. As there are four terms of Quarter
Sessions each year, this means on an average
a saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 to the
county annually.

Change in Paying Pensions.

The Postofice Department, upon recon-
mendaiion of the Commissioner Of Pensions,
has ordered that pensioners checks shall
be delivered only to pensioners or to some
member of their families, upon order.
TO this order four pension attorneys of
Baltimore, Thomas X. Adreon, William
+. ". Ross, George w. F. Vernon and A.
Parlett Lloyd, have entered a protest and
petitioned for revocation. To these four
attorneys, says Commissioner Lochren, the
checks of some $500 pensioners are sent
and the attorneys make about $4,000 a
year each out of the pensioners. The
checks are deposited in banks to the private
accounts Of the attorneys, aud the sums to
which the pensioners are entitled are
checked out to them by the attorneys, who
reserve 10 themselves such advances as are
alleged to be due them, plus charges for
executing vouchers and for cashing checks
drawn on the United States assistant treas
urer.
Many of the pensioners the Commits
sioncr says, have never seen their certif-
Gates, they being in the possession of the
attorneys, and the government cannot know
whether the pensioners are all alive or
whether all are entitled to the pensions
they draw The charges by the attorneys
have been hardship on the pensioners,
and the system is an injustice to the gov
eminent, because it is difficult to detect
frauds,
The Postmaster General has declined to
reverse the order, and it is in accordance
with law.

We gave both sides of the school ques-
ton last week. 1t is one that will awaken
the highest interest among the people of the
state at large, if the discussion is continued,
as well as among the members of the Legis-
lature when its assemblies next month
Education should be accompanied with
moral training. at least, and uniform re-
ligious service could well be arranged for
pubic schools by a committee of ministers
that would not be denominatioua Churches
could be relied upon TO complete the re-
ligious education. State aid to parochial
schools-Iioly Catholic, Roman Catholic,
Lutheran and Reformed-will never be
granted and should not be. No discussion
of the matter will change this well-settled
conviction Of the people of the United
States, and its continuance will do more
harm than good People are more sensi-
tive about their religion than anything else,
and ill temper soon takes the place of
reason.
