They would have been very glad to lay
hands on the "rebel" Congress knowing
which, that body took good care to keep

ever Congress went IL took the national
capital with IL, you can readily under
stand why the following named places
bore that honor at the dates named /:
Philadelphia, from September o. 1774,

BETHLEHEM, Dec. 5.-There is
every reason to believe that the
strike is settled. At 2.3O this after.
noon when the meeting between
President Wilbur and officials of the
Lehigh Valley road and State Boards
OF Arbitration of New York and
New Jersey terminated. Neither
side would speak. General Manager
Voorhees, said that the arbitrators
would make an announcement. He
had pledged himself to secrecy. lie
did say; however, that the road had
given its final answer, and on the
other hand the arbitrators were all
smiles and went direct TO the hotel
where the Lehigh Valley Grievance
Committee is stopping. The con.
ditions for settlement arc no. known
but that q settlement is effected is
certain.

Tho Presidents Message.

President Cleveland 8 message
made public on Monday will COM
pletsly disappoint the country. Not
in what it says, but in what it does
not say, for a more tame, empty,
inans message could not we'll be franz
ed. Congress has rarely met with
graver or more momentous questions
demanding high craftsmanship, COM
prehensive grasp and sure decision.
The country expected a virile and
illuminating discussion of the trans
cendant subjects which whether ap-
proved or not, would at least COM
mand respect by its visor and
strength. Instead ofsuch Il positive
and robust treatment, we have moth
ing but feeble, rapid summary of
department reports, such as any
chief clerk might have made. The
message shows strange lack both
of grit and grip.
This spiritless, colorless, inconclu-
sive method runs through every
topic and branch of the paper. So
far rs it can be judged from Its text,
there is surprising failure to appre-
ciate the gravity of some of the
pending issues. Here is the Treas
ury face to face with deficit which
is quite likely to reach seventy or
seyent-fve millions for the current
fiscal year. The gold balance is
nearly down to eighty millions.
This is a situation which every
thoughtful observer must regard
with deep concern, not merely as
embarrassing the Government, but rs
involving danger to the foundation
and security Of our currency. Yet
President Cleveland touches it in
the lightest manner possible. With
out any warrant he first puts the
deficit at less than half what it is
certain to be, and then dismisses it
with the simple expectation that the
new tariff and internal revenue
measures will provide sufficient rev.
enue. What shall lie done to meet
the deficit now he doesn't suggest
at all. He wants the power to issue
bonds freed from doubt, but whether
he has any thought of making an
issue he doesn't indicate.
The only point where there is any
approach to serious discussion is
the tariff question. 1t is tailed on
to tho end of the message as if it
were an after.thought, and even here
ithas dull, perfuncsory, mechanical
tone in strange contrast with the
vigor Of the Presidents former treat
msnt. The argument has no origin
slity and no force. If there was any
hope in any quarter that the Presi-
dent would restrain and moderate
the crusade against the nations in
dnstries it ID doomed to disappoint-
ment. He commits himself squarely
and nnreservedly TO the Wilson bill,
and practically pledges the power of
the Administration to its passage.
The only news in the message is the
announcement that the tariff bill
which is Obstructive both to revenue
and industry is to be pieced out with
q tax on the incomes of corpora.
lions. Without being what is com
laonly understood as an income tax.
this is n tax on investors, and it is
not likely to prove any more accep.
table.
His whole message will be pain
ful surprise to the country which
looked for a paper that should at
least show just sense of the pres
ent exisencies and which finds
document as dull as Patent Office
report.
