The President's MessaEe.

The presidents message was received
to-day. 1t is a document of 200 words.
The president says the financial troubles
are not due to untoward events, but are
altogether chargeable to the legislation
touching the coinage of silver. Under
the operations Of the Sherman law A.
900, 900 ounces Of silver have been pur-
chased up to July Is, and the larger part
of the treasury notes have been redeem
ed in gold.
Since we have depleted the treasury,
unless government bonds are issued and
sold to replenish the exhausted gold, it
is apparent that the operations of the
silver purchase law leads in the direct
ion of substituting silver for gold in the
treasury. In this event the government
will be compelled to pay all its obliga-
lions in deprecated silver, and it is GER
tain we cannot get any international
cooperation as long IS we keep gold and
silver together.
Not even in his famous tariff message
of 1887, which contained for the first time
the telling phrase, coined by himself. did
Mr.. Cleveland make better use of the fact
that a condition and not a theory con-
fronts us and which he believes to be IT.
resistible.
HE dwells most particularly upon the

affects the masses. The banker and broker
and capitalist, he reasons, can take care Of
themselves. but the workingmen are prac
tically helpless when such a condition Of
affairs as now prevails exists.
To substantiate this argument he shows
in concise language the actual effect of tho
law known as the Sherman act now in
force. He calls attention to the dearth Of
| confidence arising therefrom. He deals
| not in theories, but in facts and figures, tC
| demonstrate the truth of his assertion that
the burden inflicted upon the country By
this unwise law falls most heavily up0r
! the TpThipEnan.

Want to Continue the world. Fair.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-The proposition
to keep open the Columbian Worlds ex-
position throughout the summer of 1894
found its way to Washington previous to
the opening of congress, but it had not
been suggested to any members of the Hi
nois delegation. Senator Palmer said he
could not talk intelligently upon a propo-
sition concerning which he knew absolute
ly nothing Senator Cullom said he had
heard such suggestion made in Chicago,
but had nothing to say beyond the fact
that he would support any measure within
reason which the various boards of the
fair and the people of Chicago might desire.
General John c. Black, representative at
large, said that if the people of Chicago,
especially those charged with the manage
ment of the fair. believed it could be made
a legal and financial success he would be
in favor of continuing its existence for an
other year, but only Of course upon the re
quest OF the people of Chicago.

1t is for this reason he believes that the
demand of the country FOR vepeal is so
strong and universal. 1t is the plain duty
of all patriotic citizens intrusted with the
responsibility OF government to heed such
demand.
Therefore he recommends unconditional
repeal without hint OF compromise or sub
stitute of any kind. There he stops. What
ever may be his views regarding the future
use of silver part of national currency,
to be fixed possibly by we'll considered leg
islation after a suitable time shall have
elapsed, he makes no suggestions and out
lines no plan which might meet with his
approval. He confines his recommenda-
ton and directs the attention OF congress
solely to the pressing need Of the hour
prompt repeal. He notes the fact that the
people in the last elections made an EN-
phatic demand for revision and reform in
tariff legislation.
The pledges then made must be kept.
But since that time an unforeseen exgency
has arisen. and il must be met and mas
tered 1t is the plain duty OF congress,
therefore, to afford relief to the country by
placing the repeal of the financial statute
ahead OF all other contemplated legislation
relating to the tariff or any other subject.
Perfectly Consistent.
1t Is hardly necessary to say that the
presidents absolutely unqualified declara.
ton will surprise many members of both
houses. As a matter of fact, 1t is in per
feet accord with his utterances on all sim,
liar questions in the past and typical OF
his courage in meeting exigencies.
The message was practically finished
at Gray Gables. but has been the subject
of discussion at two cabinet meetings il
Washington. and Secretaries Gresham anC
Lamont spent large part of last night al
Woodley aiding the president in his fina
revision. Despite all this discussion, how
ever, it stands, with the exception of few
minor changes, chiefly of diCtion. as origi
nally penned by Mr. Cleveland own hanc
at Buzzard's Bay.
Since his arrival here the president ha.
discovered no necessity or reason for diver
/ sion from his original purpose of direct in
sistence upon unconditional repeal. In
deed so far as prospects in the senate ar
| concerned. the administration is now sat
isfied that the names OF Faulkner, Butte
and Call may he added to the list of thos
who will surely vote in its support at tn
| last, thus making a safe majority of NOR
| than 10.
President Cleveland believes that pub
| lie sentiment in favor of repeal has not onl,
| grown since he issued the proclamation
| calling an extra session of congress, bu
| that it is still growing and will continu
to grow.
For this reason. therefore. no less thai
| because of his confidence of majority il
its support on final vote, the administra
| ton considers repeal within 20 days quit
within the range of possibility"

SHERMAN LAW DOOMED
This Result Is Given by Two
Newspaper Polls.
AN OFFICIAL POLL TO BE TAKEN

New York ConEressmen Take the First 40
nary Session Begins with Both House
Waiting For the Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S-The joint com
mittee of the two houses appointed t.
wait on the president and receive his an
nouncement that he will shortly "commu
nicate to them a message in writing" con
sisting, according - custom, of the recog
niEed leaders on both sides, viz, Senator.
Harris and Sherman and Representatives
Springer, McMillin and ex-Speaker Reed
waited upon the president this forenoon t.
receive their message. Little else beside,
listen to the message Is expected to be don
today.
At the suggestion of Representative
Bourke Cochran in the house q number o.
its members, principally the New Yorh
delegation, met in the Arlington hotel and
informally discussed the best method Of
securing immediate consideration and fix
ing a time for taking vote on the silver
question.
No specific proposition will be made II
the silver people, but the members of tn,
conference express the hope that an AT
ranEement satisfactory to both sides will
be agreed upon. Nothing is to be dom
looking TO this end until after the presi
dents message has been read.
The conference designated the following
gentlemen to take poll of the house ant
ascertain its sentiment as to the methoC
and manner of procedure that should b,
adopted in this matter:
Messrs. Harter, Ohio; Brawley, Soutl
Carolina; Hall. Minnesota; Lspham, Rhod
Island; Wolverton. Pennsylvania: Gels
seinheimer, New Jersey; Bynum, Indiana
Cobb Missouri; Raynor. Maryland; Sper
ry, Connecticut; Cochran, Tracy, Fitch
| Dunphy and Fellows, New York.
These gentlemen will meet again and re
port the result OF their conference with tn
| silver men. and endeavor to agree upon
| proposition to be made to them regarding
the debate and time for taking a vote OF
the question.
The opening of the extraordinary ses
| sion OF the Fifty-third congress, as IA
as the house is concerned, has been un
marked by anything of a sensational char
acter and has been merely formal. Speake
Crisp was reelected quietly and withou
more than the usual political opposition
and as he took his seat he was enthusiasts
tically received. In a few brief words h
| pledged himself to perform the duties O
his high office with honesty, fairness AM
impartiallty.
The only incident worthy of note wa
the objection made by Burrows of Mich
| gan to the swearing in of George F. Rich
ardson lDcm.) rs a representative from tn
| Fifth Michigan district. Charles F. Belk
| nap claims to be entitled to the seat on
| prima faCie case. The consideration of tn
| question was postponed.
The biennial drawing for seats occurre
amid laughter. cheers and alterations c
pleasure and disappointment. The hous
adjourned out of respect TO the memory c
| Mr.. EnuChs of Ohio.

The coiffure of some of the women ot China is truly fearful and wonderful construction. built up on wire frame work with the aid of a shining gum profuselv laid on. In some districts the hair is spread out like broad fan, bauping down and covering the back. Tn others it is built into the form of on either side of the head, like wigs. That the wonderful struc- ture may not be disarranged in sleep, a peculiar pillow is used, on which the neck instead of tue head is reclined. But the wealthier ladies have sort of a box into which they put their heads at night. so contrived that. the coitfure fits in snugly, and the pressure comes only on those parts which are able to bear i. Chinese women make Tree use of paint to hide the reddish hue of thelr faces. Their dress, which Is always the same in fashion, has been praised on the ground that it hides the contour of z he body more than does the European ,minine archaeological Illustrated ..Iagazine.
