 WAsHINGToN, D.C., Dec. 4.-President Cleveland, in his message to congress commences by reviewing the relations of the United States with other coun- tries, and says:
 "While our foreign relations have not been entirely free from perplexing and em barrassing situations. nothing re- mains that will not yield to that spirit of fairness and love of justice which are joined with the consistent frmness which characterizes the true American foreign policy"
 He Strikes Egan.
 Speaking of the Brazilian revolution, the president says: 'The United States does not recognize the rebels; therefore the action of Commodore Stanton in saluting the rebel admiral is disavowed in manner not to be misunderstood" ]" The action of the late minister to Chili Tn harboring two revolutionlsts is de- nounced. The president says:
 "Under no circumstances can a rep resentative of this government be per mitted to interrupt the administration of criminal justice in countries to which he is accredited"
 Chinsse Exclusion.
 Legislation on the Geary act IS re- viewed and the president says: ''It is believed that under the amendment to the act, Chinese laborers will avail themselves of the renewed privilege of esta ablishing their right to remain, and thereby the necessity of enforced de- portation may, to great degree, be avoided"
 Of the Nicaragua canal, he says "That the canal should be accomplished under distinetively American auspices is proposition which in my judgment does not admit of question:" Speak ing of the unsatisfactory state of affairs in Samoa, under the partite agreement, he says: "This incident and the events leading up to it signally illustrate the impollcy of entangling alliances with foreign powers.
 Hawaiian Affairs.
 Of Hawaii, the president says: "The questions arising from our relations with Hawaii have caused serious em- barrassment. Just prior to the install lation of the present administration the existing government of Hawaii had been overthrown and treaty of annexation negotiated between provisional gov ernment of the islands and the United States and submitted to the senate for ratification. This treaty I withdrew for examination and dispatched James H. Blount to Honolulu as special com missioner to make an impartial inyesti- gation of the circumstances attending the change of government. After a thorough examination MT. Blount sub mitted to me his report, showing be- yond all question that the constitu- tional government of Hawaii had been subverted with the active aid of our representatives to that government and through intimidation caused by the presence of the armed naval force of the United States, which was landed for l that purpose. Upon the facts developed

The American Tramp Has Friend

in Kansas.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 4.-The Times Topeka special says: Governor Lewelling has issued an extraordinary address to all boards of police com missioners Tn Kansas which practically renders nugatory all vagrant laws. He criticizes the manner in which the existinglaws are being enforced upon the unemployed with regard to their being ordered to leave town and move on. This, he says, IS violation of the right of personal liberty guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and there is no power in the legislative or city council to deprive the people of this right. He regards the practice of compelling vagrants to work out their fines Tn work houses. He says it is . violation of a constitution provision and calls on police commissioners to carry out the spirit of these suggestions.

LAST February bill was prepared for
presentation to the Board of Freeholders,
but which, through the vigilance of Free
holder Gale, never reached its destination.
1t was the Sherif's bill for board of pris-
oners. The legal rate is 20 cents prison
err per day, but this bill was made out for
25 cents. The increase in the rate made
the aggregate about 5000 more than it
should have done. The bill was handed
to Mr.. Gale by Samuel W. Shinn, deputy
sheriff, and present Democratic candidate
for County Clerk. When Mr.. Gale called
attention to the discrepancy, Shinn &C

Cape May. and placed him in the county

IT IS an indisputable fact that there is
dissension and strife in the Democratic
ranks. The managers of that party are
fully aware of this state of affairs, and
will work with more than unusual energy
to secure the success of their ticket
Knowing that there are voters in their
own midst who will repudiate some of
their candidates, they will earnestly
strive to make up the loss in Republican
circles. Let every member of our party
firmly repel all advances in that direc-
ton. We have ticket that is entitled
to the hearty support of every Republi-
can voter. Do not scratch name from it.

ABOUT the only argument the Demo-
Gratis have thus far been able to present
against Theodore B. Gaskill is that he
has been in Office SO long. There is no
denying that fact. He has occupied the
Office of Steward for many years, but to
whose benefit has it been ? His record is
a great one At the time he took charge
of the Poor House it was in bad shape.
In the two years previous to his election,
his Democratic predecessor had spent
$4,000 How Mr.. Gaskill took hold and
brought order out of choas. annually
saving thousands of dollars, is matter of
public record. with the figures open for

The Closing Days of the Worlds Column
bian ExpOsftion-Last Low-rate Excursion
via Pennsylvania Railroad.
This is the last month of the great Col
umbian Exhibition, an American exhi-
bition which eclipses the efforts of all
nations, past and present-and Saturday
the 21st, marks the end of the popular
low-rate coach excursions of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to the
Worlds Fair City. The extensive patron
age bestowed on all previous trips of
this character, and the universal verdict
of former participants that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company carries by far
the greatest number and the best class of
people, thoroughly attest the genuine
worth of the facilities to be enjoyed on
this route. These facts, coupled with the
fortunate and entire immunity from acct
dent thus far, and the completeness and
dispatch with which this traffic has been
handled, place the Standard Railroad in
the enviabe position which it proudly
claims-of being the best, safest and
quickest route to the west

York and $l7 from Philadelphia, Balti-

THE Dispatch says; Samuel A. Akin
son, the present Republican Auditor, has
filled the office for several consecutive
terms" This is either wilful misstate-
ment, or the evidence of ignorance. Mr..
Atkinson has not had several consecutive
terms, but has been in the Office two
years, with one year intervening. He
might have had two continuous terms
had not the Democrats broken the GUS
tom of allowing the incumbent three
years without opposition. The Dispatch
argues that the Republican party "has had
the Office long enough" Well, it has al
ways had good and competent officers.
five remember correctly, the Democratic
Auditor who was in the Office n.1S92, al
lowed certain officials to get away with
considerable illegal fees, which have not,
and probably will not, be recovered. Sam
uel A. Atkinsor's record does not contain
any such flaw. He has been faithful to
bis trust, without fear and favor.

THE Monmouth Democrat, in last weeks
issue, justifes its course in boiling its
party's nomination thus; "There are but
two parties in the present election canvass
the race track party and the anti-race
track party. On one side are all the
gamblers and others who prey upon the
honest industry of the State, and upon the
other side the honest business men, and
the respectable and moral and religious
elements of the community. This is a
plain statement of the bottom facts as the
parties stand arrayed against each other.
Twist it in any way you please, you can
make no other showing than this.

THE Republicans OF Hudson county
have nominated Colonel John ]. Tofey,
ex-treasurer of the State, for Sheriff. The
New York World, Democratic, endorses
his candidacy because ''he has no SYM

Hudson county, and because Colonel Tof-
fey is, in a word, one of those sturdy, up
right, courageous men around whom all
the respectable taxpayers of Hudson

criminals and their allies who have ruled
so long insist on selecting one of their
kind to run against him."

THE supporters of Samuel w. Shinn,
Democratic candidate for County Clerk,
are endeavoring to smooth matters oyer
with James P. Melodies, who wanted the
nomination for Sheriff, but who was
beaten out of it by the same men who
are now trying to make him believe that
he is the victim of treachery. But for the
work of the Shinn people and the large
amount of money put into the canvass by
them, Mr.. Melodies would have had
solid delegation from his own township
without a contest. AS it was he was
forced to make one of the most bitter
fights ever known in the political life of
this town, for what he should have had
"hands down" And the sharpest con-
fict was in the district where he lives.
There he was beaten, and then one of the
successful delegates withdrew and gave
his proxy to a resident of another dis
trict, who went to the convention and
made the nominating speech for Rogers.
So that, in addition to the injury of being
defeated in his own election district
there was added the insult of having his
opponent nominated from the same dis
trict. And now the same gang that is re-
sponsibe for all this indignity is trying to
make Nicholes believe they are his very
best friends.

DOES anybody have any doubts as to
who will be the County Clerk if Samuel
w. Shinn is elected? There is every
reason to believe that Sheriff Shlnn will

ready to continue this man in Office for
five wears more ?

IT rs currently repo rted that Samuel w
Shinns nomination for County Clerk was
the result of liberal expenditure of
money by his father, and promise of
the latter to contribute more to secure the
election of the son and of William Rog
ers for Sheriff But who believes he will
do the latter? He is always on the look
out for number one. and Sammy Shinns
interests will not be allowed to suffer for
the benefit Of the head of the ticket.

In standing upon his past record as Au-
ditor, Samuel A. Atkinson chose the very
broadcast platform he could have selected.
His faithfulness to the interests of tax

vember will show that his official acts
have been appreciated.
