The clock indicated 1:2j when Mr.. vii
son, on behalf Of the committee. reported
that the President had informed them
that he would communicate with the
House in writing.
II was 1:35 before Legislative Clerk
Pruden appeared with the Presidents

reading the document. which was rtten-
lively listened TO by an unusually large
number OF members. There was an entire
absence OF the noise and confusion which
ordinarily attends the reading Of an Of
fetal paper
The assemblage in the galleries had
become wearied with the extended recess
and but little more than an average au-
dince Of spectators listened 10 the mes
sage.
Clerk Kerr read the entire message with
out break or interruption. His voice was
clear and strong, penetrating the cham
Der win perfect distinctness. The unii-
Vided attention OF the members was held
until the end. There was no demonstra-
ton approaching applause, and the varl-
Gus paragraphs were received without an
indication OF either approval or censure.
Special attention was given 10 the sem
fences bearing on the Hawaiian situation.

Suspension Of work Follows.


This cannot be while Federal legislation
through the imposition of high tariff for
bids 10 American manufacturers as cheap
materials as those used by their COM
petitors. 1t is quite obvious that the en-
hancement Of the price OF our manulac-
tured products resulting from this policy
not only confines the market for those
products within our own borders 10 the
direct disadvantage Of our manufacturers,
but also increases their cost 10 our citi-
zens. The interests OF labor are certainly
though indirectly involved In this feature
OF our tariff system. The sharp COM
petition and active struggle among our
manufacturers to supply the limited de-
mand for their goods soon fii the narrow
market to which they are confined: then
follows a suspension OF work IN mills
and factories, discharge Of employees
and distress in the homes Of our work
ingmen. Even il the often disprOyed
assertion could he made good that lower
rate OF wages would result from free raw
materials and low tariff duties the intel
ligence Of our fwoTkingmen leads them
quickly to discover that their steady en-
ployment permitted by free raw material
Is the most important factor in their re-
lations to tariff legislation.

For the Orphans.

On Wednesday afternoon the
pupils of School No. 6 gathered in
one of the large rooms to witness a
Thanksgiving program arranged
for their entertainment by their
principal, Miss Cotton, and her
corps of teachers. The room was
most tastefully and appropriately
decorated for the occasion. Great
baskets of fruits, flowers and nuts
were everywhere to be seen.
The walls were decorated with
autumn leaves, sheaves Of wheat
and corn, and even a great hOmely
pumpkin. Everything was sug-
gestive of thanksgiving, even to
the pictures of both living and
roasted turkeys. The program
proved to. be a very interesting
one, and While each one deserved
great credit, special praise might
be given little Zenie Hines, Cecile
Haas and Gertie Frank. The best
part remains to be told: Each pu-
pill brought some offering of cloth
ing, fruit, or provisions for the lit
tie orphans. These offerings when
put together, filled two large wa
CONS which were sent to the Cath
Ollie and Protestant homes.

There Is evidently q great deal for
woman to learn in the domestic arts
and sciences at the Chicago EXPOSE
ton outside Of the beautiful building
dedicated to her special honor and
obstruction. There IL q variety of
cooking exhibitions. aud n of them
Is especially to be commended. This
Is the exhibit devoted TO the illustra-
ton Of all the uses to which the pro-
ducts of maize, or corn as it is
universally called in this country, can
be proitabIy and palatably put in the
economy OF thc household. Although
the queens of the American kitchen
have been supposed to be well ac-
quainted with corn meal, it appears
that there arc many grades and modi-
fications OF the familiar yellow flour,
and the ingenuity of a celebrated
demonstration of the culinary art has
evolved some forty savory products
with such queer names as ''plankcts,'
'.jolly boys" "mu-kia-li-we" and "kla-
mu-la-li-we.- 1t is TO be hoped that
these articles all taste as sweet under
any other name.
This exhibit ought to prove of
further use as sho wing TO foreign
visitors the value and desirability of
corn lours for human food. The use
of American corn before it has been
transformed into pork for the table is
little known abroad. 1t was not
known at all until a special commits
-sioncr, Mr.. Murphy. was sent to
Europe by Secretary Rusk of the
Department of Agriculture to give
lectures and demonstrations of how
'~palatable and nutritious dishes could
be made from a grain which, ON that
side of the Atlantic, fed the lower
animals alone. As a result Of his
efforts the knowledge of corn flour
has become quite usual among the
culinary experts of Paris, Berlin and
Vienna, and as soon as the p~easantry
of Europe have become acquainted
with it the foreign market for our
corn will be appreciably enlarged.
1t is TO be hoped that the appetizins

derivatives al Chicago may lend added
fragrance to every breakfast table il
the United States, as well as make al
Europe acquainted with a wholesome
snutritious, cheap and palatable article

into an Indian State is interesting.
These tribes number about $4,000;
own 100000 acres of land, much of
which is under profitable cultivation;
maintain each a government of their
own, with Legislative, judicial and
executive departments, and elect
many of their officers by ballot. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether they are
fitted yet for the duties and RESPONSE
Utilities of statehood. They have made
gratifying progress in the way of
education, but much yet remains to
