The Presidents Messaxe.

The presidents message to the session
Of congress which convened this week
Is very lengthy. His excellency reviews
the various things his cabinet has done
and says they are very good. including
Hoke Smirh's pension record and doing
up silver. Grover says he has ''given
our present minister" to Hawaii zap
propriate Instructions to fire out the
republican government and replace
Queen Lii upon the throne. He admits,
that SO far he has failed to hear
of his doing so. The message was pub
lished in the London Times before it
was given out to congress or appeared
in any American journal. 1t is also
stated that financial magnates had it
kicking around Wall street before the
London Times published it, verify Cleve

Mr.. Henry Black took editorial charge
of the Syracuse Journal andsays
OF Hamilton county: "Wheat and
stock on the up,ands and under irrigation,
alfalfa, vegetables and fruits, these are
natural products of our soil and climate.
These staples can be produced cheaper
here under our conditions of cheap land
abundant and nutritious grasses, rich
soil, heavy rains during the spring and
early summer months and climate tenn
perate and healthful than anywhere else
IN the United States. We have here all
the elements necessary for success, and
prosperity is within the reach of all, but
we must 60 about it with intelligence,
making use of the forces of nature as
they exist instead of going to war with
them. If steer can be raised cheaper
here than elsewhere, then raise steers;
if a bushel of wheat can be produced
here at less cost than elsewhere, then
this is the country to supply the world
with wheat; if alfalfa seed is worth S.
per bushel and from five to twenty
bushels are grown on an acre of SIS land
then alfalfa seed is an item worth looking
after. This country is all right
Syracuse is between ninety and one
hundred miles west of Dodge City.
The soil in Hamilton county is the same
in quality as ours, and the only differ
ence is. perhaps, slightly greater rainfall
in this county. The bottoms here pro-
duce luxuriaDt growth of alfalfa, any
kind of season without rainfall, while
both the bottoms and uplands produce
wheat very probably without irrigation.

Il Was Politics For Him Not to Know E8.
Judge Dittenhoefer.
Most of the stories worth printing
about the famous Chicago convention of
1880 have been published, but here is one
that seems to be new: Ex-Judge Often
hoefer was in Chicago working against
Grant and third term. Bernard Big
lin was there In the interest of Grant.
Both were old personal friends. The
night before the balloting began Biglin
and two others were appointed q CON-
mittee to look after several southern
delegations, among them being the Ken
lucky delegation.
When Biglin and his associates ar
rived at the Kentucky headquarters, they
found that Dittenhoefer had got ahead
of them. He had the floor and was de-
ivering strong speech against Grant,
saying, among other things, that Grant
could not carry New York. Biglin saw
that Dittenhoefer's remarks were having
great weight, and he realized that he
was no match for him as q talker. What
to do to break the force of Dittenhoefer's
speech was the problem that confronted
Biglin. This was the method he &C.
lected. In the midst of Dittenhoefer's
peroration Biglin called out in loud
voice, "Who is that manT
"Why, he is e1-Judge Dittenhoefer Of
New York, said . member of the Ken
lucky delegation.
"Oh, no; that's not Judge Dittenhoe-
fer" said Biglin- Thow Judge Often
hoefer well. This man may pretend to
be Dittenhoefer to strangers, but he
knows better than to try to work any
mch racket with New Workers. I tell
you he's . fraud"
Biglin's remarks made . sensation.
Suspicious glances were cast at Often
hoefer by members of the Kentucky del
egation. The former got rcd In the facs
and walked up to Biglin. Barney" hs
said, holding out his hand, chats .
pretty good joke Of yours, not to know
me-"
"Jote," shouted Bigim in contempt
IT'S no joke, ! can tell you. Twin Just
bet yoa 30 that you are not Judge Dit
tenhoedsr Of New York" Biglin -four
ished . go bill in Dittenhoefers face.
OF course he had to accept the chal-
lenge. The money was put up in tho
hands Of q member Of the delegation.
Dittenhoe6er hurried away to get some
ono to identify him. When be returned,
hfglin had disappeared, likewise tho
stakeholder. After the convention Dit
tenhoefer met Bglin In the hotel CORR
dor. "Whst did you mean" he said,
''by saying you did not know me that
night ct tho Kentucky headquaxtersr
what did you mean." said Biglin,
''by saying that Grant could not caru
New York.
':Thst was politics" answered Often
hoe6ee.

President Cleveland begins to find
that this is big government tor one
man to run ali alone. The United States
senate passed a resolution this week in
quiring into his shady manipulation of
Hawaii. Even some of the democratic
senators are not standing by the fat man
in this matter, and he may have to drop
his scheme of recrowning his dusky
hued protege, and crushing an infant
republic.

Cleveland's message deuounces the
extravaganza of expanding government
money for the seed shipped by states
men to their constituents. This custom,
the message affirms, has become great
nuisance and ought to be stopped. 1t
strikes us that the President devotes an
unnecessary amount of his valuable time
to scoring a custom that pleases the
farmers and costs the government only

Van Allen could stand the jeers of the

10 bury your one talen: because YOU
have not more is a sin against God and
will subject You to Punishment into ''outel
Darkness" The Lord bestows upon each
of us the number and variety of gifts and
talents suited to our conditions and cap
abilities, and requires us to use them
according to his will. If but one talent
is given the obligation to use it for the
honor of the Master is just as binding as
though a greater number were given; and
for person to shirk from doing what he
can because another person is capable of
doing more is positive proof Of an un-
sanctifed nature.
"Having then gifts differing according
to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to
the proportion Of faith; or ministry let us
wait on our ministering; or he that teach
eth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; LIE that ruleth, with dill
gence; he that showeth mercy, with cheer
fulness. Rom. 1865. Be content With
