THE MESSAGE.

Tho message of President Cleveland,
OF which the most salient features are
presented in this issue. although q
lengthy document is not longer than is
consistent with the thorough considera-
ton CT the affairs OF the ad administration.
AS is customary, large proportion of
the message is devoted to the reports of
the different departments, to which the
President has called particular atten-
zion, and urges upon Congress the
carrying out of the suggestions therein
embodied.
With the exception of the report of
the Secretary Of the Interior the differ.
emit Departments have unmarried the
condition Of affairs under their ad-
ministration in the usual manner. Of
esoecia. Importance, however, is the re-
port Of Secretary Smith upon the sub
ject OF pensions, in as much as q radical
change from the methods pursued by
the previous Secretary under Harrison's
administration, has been inaugurated.
Clevelant rises 10 an explanation of the
metr od pursued in eradicating as far as
possible the wholesale perpretration of
fraud Under this department and he
couches in no unmistakable language
his denunciation CT the nefarious bust.
ness oy which the peoples money has
been squandered and the cause OF tho
honest pensioner injured.
in MS comment upon the report of the
Secretary OF the Treasury Mr.. Cleve-
land further voices his belief in the
ultimate beneficial effect Of the repeal
OF the silver purchasing clause and init
mated that path will soon be dis
closed which will lead TO permanent
and sound currency system
The public, it seems, was correctly
informed of the Presidents view of the
Hawaiian situation, and that part of
his message is received with less in
terest than it would have been had
they not been forwarned. He fails to
state Just what instructions have been
given to Minister Willis as to how he
should undo the wrong that had been
done by those representing u.s." but
promises the prompt transmission to
Congress the further developments in
the case as they come to hand
Upon the tariff gu sstion the President
shows mis- accord with the views formu-
lated into the bill conceived bv the
ways and means com mittee, as made
public by Chairman Wilson, in as far as
1t pertains to the removal Of the restric-
tions upon the importation of the raw
materials necessary to our manu-
features. But he touches some
what blindly upon the principle of
protection when he states that
While we should staunchly adhere
to the principles that only the necessity
OF revenue justifies the imposition OF
tariff duties and other Federal taxation.
and that they should DO limited by
strict economy, we cannot close our
eyes 10 the fact that conditions have
grown up among us which in Justice
and fairness call for discriminating care
In the distribution of such duties and
taxation as the emergencies Of our
Government actually demand"
de is evidently in favor of the in
crease OF some OF the internal revenua
taxes and the income tax also meets
with his approval as a means whereby
the temporary deficiency of the Treasury
may be helped out.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 2.-Customs
inspector Todd of Vancouver, B. c., who
arrived last night, says the steamer Hay
tien Republic has been carrying large
number of Chinese to Portlandf rom Van
couver on every trip. He says these Chi
namen all have certificates procured from
Portland and Salem, furnished by notaries
and lawyers in the two cities. The Chi
namen send their photographs which are
attached to the bogus certificates. For
the certificates they pay $50. The Hay
tien Republic charges them $50 fare and
they have to pay an additional SO to see
that they get in all right. The Tacoma
Ledger publishes letter purporting to
be one of Instructions from the Tin Wo
company to prominent persons of Port
land, instructing them how to smuggle
into the United States and take care of
81 Chinese who came over on the steamer
Haytien Republic week ago. The let
ter states the price to be paid the smug-
gler is 800 head and in three cases $175,
and $25 is also to be paid as soon as the
Cinnamon arrive. Five Chinese are now
held at Astoria awaiting deportation.
