Cleveland.s Incompetency.

cleveland's Incompetency.
Editors Of the PIONEER EXPRESS.
..Cleveland's message is clearly the
production Of man incapable of ei-
therconstructive or speculative states
manship. He is not a leader in the
hest sense of the term. He is not an
originator. No president has had
such an opportunity to show high
mental qualities, to outline necessary
reforms, to strike keynote on vital
questions aud indicate, II not to lead,
the way out. Mr.. Cleveland has fall
en- short in all these particulars. He
has not even succeeded in equaling
himself, as his last message is the
feeblest of all his public utterances.
1t is long, prosy and dull, not marked
by single striking passage; it is in
no respect superior to that intermin-
able array of tedious documents which
issue like tapeworms from the clrcum-
Olacution office.
The message is notably weak on
the question of finance; in fact it
practically ignores that vital subject
altogether. AS Mr.. Cleveland has
done SO much to precipitate the stu
alton and has talked SO oracularly of
the monetary conditions, all had a
right to expect that he would have
something definite to propose as a
substitute for the evil system prevail
ing. He has not; on the contrary he
disposes Of the whole question in the
follow ing paragraph. "Of course af-
ter the recent financial perturbation
time is necessary for the re-establish-
ment of business confidence" (BaD
Financial perturbation" is good and
decidedly Clevelandesque. In the
throes of one Of the greatest panics
Of modern times, with millions of men
out of employment, with scores of
thousands on the point Of starvation,
with business fatally depressed every
where, with failures on all hands and
il deranged currency system, the coun-
try is cody informed that after the
recent financial perturbation, every
body must have patience until things
revive again. Has there been such a
ponderous outgiving Of owlIsh wisdom
and hopeful expectancy? Whether
the president anticipates a shower Of
larks, or another mirac ulous fall of
mama, is not clear. But what is plain
Is the fact that we have IN the presl-
DENTAL chair man who has not even
elementary knowledge Of the princi-
pies of finance and no more capacity
to deal with the present direful situa-
tiOn, than his pct queen Of the Sand
wich Islands. When such a condition
IS confronts the country to-day, and
we have such man as Cleveland in
the presidential chair, it would seem
to be time to establish a kindergarten
school OF finance for the especial in
struction of American presidents.

Railway making is beset with unfore-
seen obstacles in China, says Indian
Engi"eeriHg. A line is being made
from the interior of Manchooria to the
coast, and it was lately proposed to
make a junction with Moukden, the
chief town. The engineers consulted
the tartar general, and the general, be-
fore giving his sanction, consulted the
geomancers. who declared that if the
line were laid along the proposed
track the vertcbric of the dragon that
encircles the city would be broken by
the nails of the slcepcrs. Such a CON
tingency was too awful to contemplate,
and the general promptly informed the
engineers that the thing was impossi
BILE. The latter in despair, lodged
protest with Iii Hung Chang, who,
while commencing the caution of his
subordinates, expressed it as his
opinion that the hidden dragon would
suffer no harm, rather otherwise, by
the innovation. However, he would
refer the matter to the emperor. This
struck terror into the heart of the gen
eral, and he again consulted the geo
mancers. Eventually a line was trac-
ed some hundreds of miles away from
the site at first proposed.

Eastern AbRnd oned Farms,

There is growing demand for the
abandoned farms in the state of Mas
sachusetts, and the State Board of
Agriculture is evidently of the opin-
ION that the day is soon coming when
there will be no such thing as an aban-
doned farm to be had Hardly a day
passes that the board does not receive
letters from persons living in other
states lnquiring about these farms, and
to such persons catalogues are sent
which give all the information neces-
sary to form very good idea of their
value, location, etc. The catalogues
now being distributed as they are
asked for are incomplete in some par
tlculars, and so the assessors in the
different towns have been asked by
the board to furnish information con
corning farms that are unoccupied.
The replies to this request are coming
in rapidly, and the board will soon be
able to issue another catalogue which
wall be quite as complete as one can
be made.
A majority of the requests for infor-
nation concerning the farms come
from farmers in other states, who think
that farming is far more profitable in
Massachusetts. Numerous communi-
cations have come in from gentlemen
in easy circumstances, who would
yield the hustle of the city for the
quiet of country life.
