Mayor Mckenzie is not candidate for re-

are those of Maj. Eli Wilkin and J. NJ.

mayor of Winterset. Ia. and he served in
both branches of the legislature in that
state. Mr.. Miller is from the same town,
has been member of the council here and
was member OF the state legislature in
1890. Councilman 0eser. of the Third

The report Of the postmaster-general
contains a detailed statement of the OPP
erations Of the postofiice department
during the last fiscal year and much in
teresting information touching this i'm
portant branch Of the public service.
The business Of the mails indicates with
absolute certainty the condition Of the
business Of the country, and a depres-
sion in financial affairs inevitably and
quickly reduces the postal revenues.
Therefore, a larger discrepancy than
usual between the postofiice receipts
and expenditures is the expected and
unavoidable result of the distressing
stringency which has prevailed through
out the country during much of the time
covered by the postmaster-generars re-
port.
At date when better times were an
ticipated, it was estimated by his pre-
decessor that the deficiency on the 3Oth
day Of June, 1898, would be little over
$l,50O.0OO. II amounted, however, to
more than $1,000 600; at the same time
and under the influence of like anticipa-
tons, estimates were made for the cur
rent fiscal year ending June 80. 1894,
which exhibited a surplus of revenue
over expenditures of $S72. 245 II. But
now, in view Of the actual receipts and
during that part OF the
fiscal year already expired, the

NEEDS0F THE NATION
President Cleveland's Annual
Message to Congress.
DEVOTED MAINLY TO ROUTINE
Nothing Definite Submitted on the
Hawaiian Question-Upholds

President Grover Cleveland's first mes
sage to the SD congress assembled in
regular session was presented to the two
houses and read in both. The full text
of the message is:
The constitutional duty which requires
the president from time TO time to give
TO congress information OF the state OF
the Union and to recommend to their
consideration such matters as he shall
Judge necessary is fittingly entered upon
by commencing to congress a careful
recommendation OF the detailed state
ments and well-supported recommends
tions contained in the reports OF the de-
partments who are chiefly charged with
the executive work OF the government.
In an effort to abridge this communica-
ton, as much as is consistent with its
purpose, shall supplement brief ref
erence with the contents OF the depart
mental reports by the mention of such
executive business and incidents as are
not embraced therein and by such rec.
concentrations as appear to be at this
particular time appropriate.

III, in addition to this reform, another
was inaugurated which would give to
United States commissioners the final
disposition Of petty ofienses within the.
grade Of the misdemeanor, especially
those coming under the internal revenue
laws, a great advance would be made to-
ward a more decent administration Of
the criminal law. In my first message
TO congress, dated December s, 1885, l
strongly recommended these changes
and referred somewhat at length TO the
evils OF the present system. Since that
time the criminal business of the federal
courts and the expense attending il
have enormously increased. The num-
Der OF criminal prosecutions pending in
the circuit and district courts on the LIST
day of July, 1855, was sos, of which
1854 we're Tor violations OF the internal
revenue laws, while the number OF such
prosecutions pepding on the LIST day of
July, 1898, was $500. Of which 1900 were
for violation OF the the internal revenue
laws. The expense OF the United States
courts, exclusive OF judges salaries, for
the wear ending July /, 1855, was 50, S74,-
733 IL. and for the year ending July l,
1873, $4,52S $50 81. II is therefore APP
parent that the reasons given in 1885 for
a change in the manner OF enforcing the
federal criminal laws have gained eogni-
lance and strength by lapse OF time.

The monetary conference, which as
sembled at Brussels upon our invita-
ton, was adjourned to November 30, in
the present year. The considerations
Just stated, and the fact that definite
proposit on from the United States
seemed to be expected on the reassem-
bling OF the conference, led me 10 ex-
press a willingness to have the meeting
still further postponed. 1t seems 10 me
that il would be wise 10 give general
authority to the president to invite
other nations 10 such a conference at
any time when there should be a fair
prospect OF accomplishing an interna-
tional agreement on the subject of coin
age.
ISSUE or BONDS.
/ desire also to earnestly suggest the
wisdom OF amending the existing stat
utes in regard to the Issuance Of govern
ment bonds. The authority now vested
in the secretary OF the treasury TO issue
bonds is not as clear as II should be,
and the bonds authorized are disadvan-
tageous, both as to their maturity and
rate OF interest.
