THE MESSAGE,

The presidents message which has been awaited with perhaps greater in. terest than any previous similar docu. ment was presented to congress yester-
 day. It had been announced from
 Inner circles that it would be volumin-
 ous and though were it's author natur- ally less prolix there were still annie
 reasons why this document should be
 one of extraordinary length.
 Not within a quarter of 8 centurv
 have so many and so grave questions
 vexed an administration, and the yexa-
 ton has been more intense in that the
 questions themselves are the direct
 products of the administration. Those ] who had hoped that additional light
 would be shed upon the national com. pllcatlons or that some further forecast
 of the governments plans would be
 afforded have been doomed to disap.
 pointment.
 There is all through the message an Impression of that sense of painful re- sponsibility which is so characteristic of MT. Cleveland. But that is all that may be described as weighty in this re- markable state document. It contains absolutely nothing new. The alIusiop to the Hawaiian question is a condensa. ton of the already expressed views of Secretary Gresham. Mr. CleyeIand,s financial utterances and his attitude m the silver question are in no wise differ. ent rom those with which the country was made acquainted at the open1no of the extraordinary session. His sugoes. 'lons and recommendations are such as lave already been made by tbe heads of the various departments in helr recently published reports, {
 Even the tariff portion of the docu. nent ls reiteration of that division of ,, he famous message to the Fiftieth con. { ress and which sounded the keynote , Democratic defeat in 1888, One , entence of MT. Cleveland's in this con. s ecSlon IS significant. Says he: "after / full discussion our countrvmen hava poken in favor of this reform and they ave confded the work of it's accomn. shment to the hands of those who ara oemnly pledged to it." It may bs asked, to which express1on
 our countrymen does the president ! Jude? Was it to that given in 1892 , to that later spontaneous expression month ago? Is it not possible that r. Cleveland has misinterpreted the Ill of the people, and has failed to ! cognlze the possibility of national ange of opinion, based on later ac. fred experimental knowledge of the E bJect? It is evident, though, that 2 la'eSef interpretation the president ' y put upon the feeling of the people.
 intends, so far as possible. to force 6 Iii reform upon the country in the m of the Wilson bill, which he de. ' res has been constructed upon the ;. es suggested in the message.
 y his allusion to the will of tbe ple MT. Cleveland is strongly re- | 1dful of the porter of a rural Indi.
