The Presidents message is pretty
generally a disappointment, and Is in
striking contrast to his former state
paper which indicated that Mr.. Cleye-
lend had views and convictions Of bis
own, and:the courage to express them.
and SO far, elected the respect Of those
who saw no wisdom, but to the con-
trary the supremest folly In the policy
which committed his party to the doc
trines Of free trade, and made possible
the bold declaration in the Chicago
platform, that a protective duty is uEl-
constitutional and nothing else but
fraud and robbery. And after q record.
Of constant reiteration along this line
Of policy Mr. Cleveland was elected
on this platform, and now when be is
brought face to face with q condition
Of things that makes it o,sible for him
to carry out the expressed dictation Of
the platform on which he was elected,
his utterances are evasiye, uncertain
and a miserable attempt at straddle
on The issue Of bis own creating.
The tariff measure which be recon-
mends is mixture Of free trade, tariff
for revenue" and protection, and
therefore satisfies none. unless i =
the Tory paEty of ssuda and England.

His declarations regarding Hawaiian
affairs are stiIl clothed with the same
cloud Of mystery and uncertainty that
has hitherto accompanied his admins
tration in this matter, and # Is abso-
lutely impossible to guess from bis
message what he is driving at. except
that be wants to restore the monarchy.

TIE message of the President TO-
Congress was very disappointing even
To his warmest admirers. The high
sounding phrases, ponderous sentences
and glittering generalities to which the
President Is SO much given are the
especial feature of this document.
ne has given us nothing definite on
MY 5f the great questions which are
engaging the public attention. His
expressions as to the Hawaiian affair
are most vague, nor does he e'outline bis
policy ii the matter. AS to the tariff
he puts that off to the last-makes It
the tan end OF the message, when in
previous utterances it has been the
first and generally the only theme upon
whici, he has dwelt. The manner In
which he endorses the New Tariff Bill
indicates that his was the controlling
power in shaping that Bill which
means 50 much TO the workiDgmen Of
the country. Even the strongest par
tisans have found very little over which
to work their feelings to q pitch Of
enthusiasm 1.-The fact. Is, the message
has fallen upon the country with q

The reason why the internal revenue

position to include therein an income
tax, to which Mr.. Cleveland is opposed.

Mr.. Cleveland doubtless feels that
his tariff bill needs bolstering up, and
that accounts for the space be devotes
to it in his message to Congress. It is
not for the Democratic members Of
Congress that be intends his arguments
in favor Of the tariff monstrosity which
be has compelled the Democrats Of the
House Ways and Means committee to
father, but for the business interests OF
the country which have kept the tele-
graph wires hot with protests against
the proposed outrage ever since it was
made public a week ago. He doesn't
m ind the opposition from Democratic
CongressmeD; he knows by experience
that few appointments judiciously
placed will silence the most Of that. It
is the aroused public sentiment Of the
country that he fears.

Are women economical ? They are.
They will cheerfully walk two miles,
spending 10 cents worth Of shoe leather
forty minutes of valuable time and q
dollars worth of energy to save the
price Of elevated ticket. They will
spend three hours darning two pairs of
stockings and thereby saving one dollar
when they might be gaining several
dollars worth of strength and Tecrea-
tion in some other way. They will
lunch on rolls and coffee for 10 cents at
noon and spend ST in the eevening for
prescription warranted to cure head
ache. They will wear their thin fall
Jackets in December and keep warm
with the glow of satisfaction they feel
in their economy. They will buy 50
worth of velvet and feathers to make
SIS French bonnet, and even when
they have spoiled their mi terials and
hidden their failure by giving it to the
parlor maid, they will have a virtuous
sense Of satisfaction.
What do women buy with the money
thus savedp Sofa cushions, toilet
waters, bric-a-brac, photographs and
tea spoons. They can get along easily
without the necessities provided they
can have few of the luxuries OF life.
Sofa pillows are as high in favor and
as numerous as they well can be. Too
many seems an impossible term, and
they are piled tcmptingly everywhere
about. The newest show deep frills,
quite ten inches vide, and are covered
with the softest silk. If, as some
critics complain, the luxury OF the cozy
corner is a temptation to withdraw
into ones self and distinct detriment
TO family life, these pillows are respon-
sible for much harm. 1t would require
stole, and stole Of the severest
sort, to Withstand the silent invitation

Democratic Senators and Represen-

constituents since the close of the
extra session bring NO cnnsolotion to

they bring news Of most doleful ma
ture. At 4 private conference of the
administration Democrats held last
night 1t was generally admitted that
the next House of Representatives
would almost certainly be Republican.
Instead of that knowledge making
ing them more conservative, as it
would wiser men, it has made them
more determined than ever to f,rce
the whole administration program
through Congress, regardless Of con-
sequences.
Republican leaders take little or no
stuck in the idea that discontented
Democrats will aid them to modify the
Cleveland tariff bill. They have heard
Democratic Senators and Represen-
tatives, talk one way and vote another
too often to place any reliance upon
them. They intend, however, that the
debate on the bill shall make plain to
the country the full extent of the
damage such law will infiict upon
every man in the United States. Owing
to the House Rules and that the House
committee on Rules is completely un.
der Mr.. Cleyeland's thumb, it is Ger.
tain that the bill will be railroaded

employe of the place was summoned,
and after looking over the saloon, re-
ported that 500 in cash, revolver and a
pair of gold cuff buttons were all that he
found missing. About an hour after
ward the police found the rear door of
Schnell q FRANKS cutlery store, at 40S
jackson street. adjoining the saloon,
had been cut open. One of the
firm was summoned, and a glance
at the empty show cases was
sufficient to convince him that the
stock had been moved out. Mr.. Krank,
when seen yesterday, said he could not
tell exactiy how much his loss was, but
it would not be less than $500. and
might be niue h more. The thieves, he
said, evidently knew their business, for
only the most expensive and best

have had remarkable success in selling
tickets, but there is still an opportunity
to secure excellent seats. In making

will be the first served; but there is not
a bad seat in the house on Sale,so every
body present will get the full benefit of
the performance. The voices or "Old

can be heard just as distinctly in the
back part of the balcony as they
can from the parquette, and the
brief remarks of Stuart Robson will
be not less audible from the northeast
corner of the gallery than they will
from the southwest corner of the par
Quette circle. ASan additional attraction
it has been arranged that the scene

has been promised that Hoey will de-
scribe his method of breaking the bank
at Monte Carlo in new song which has
been all the rage this year. Evans
has managed to get number of new

the audience the benefit of the best of
