The Presidents Message.

The message of President Cleve.
land to congress is not disappoint-
ment in any sense. 1t is Just such q
document as the country expected.
Exhaustive in all essential particu-
lars. it deals fully .squarely and fairly
with all questions of national con-
Germ in that pointed. open. vigorous
manner which have distinguished all
of Grover Cleveland's acts since his
first appearance in public life. No
incident. no event. or concern affect
ing directly or indirectly the nation
in the past year is lost sight of.
Nothing has escaped the attention of
the chief executive, and even those
who may from political or other rea-
sons differ with the presidents
policy, cannot attribute to him a pur-
pose to dodge, hedge or .elude any
issue that may righfully have come
under his official observation. His
views are expressed forcibly and
clearly. Probably the most signiti-
cant Of his utterances are those
evincing his stand on the tariff and
finance. On the former his declara-
tions are characteristic. He says;
1.-The tariff act passed at the last
session of the congress needs i'm
portant amendments il il is to be ex-
ecuted effectively and with certainty.
In addition to such necessary amend
ments rs will not change rates of
duty, ! am still very decidedly in
favor of putting coal and iron upon
the free list. So far rs the sugar
schedule is concerned, / would be
glad under existing aggrarations to
see every particle of differential
duty in favor of refined sugar strick-
en- out of our tariff law. Ii, with
all the favor now accorded the su gar
refining interest in our tariff laws.
il still languishes to the extent of
closing reiineries end thousands of
discharged workmen, it would seem
to present n hopeless case for rea-
sonable Legislative aid. Whatever
else is done or omitted, | earnestly
repeat here the recommendation /
have made in another portion of this
communication. that the additional
duty of one-tenth of cent per pound
laid upon sugar imported from coun-
tries paying a bounty on its export
be abrogated. II seems to me that
exceedingly important considera-
tons point to the propriety of this
amendment"
His currency recommendations are
of the utmost importance. and it is
impossible to review them hastily.
They amount in effect to an indorse-
ment of the Baltimore plan, compre-
bending the repeal Of laws for the
deposit OF bonds rs security for err
culation. and providing instead for
n guaranty fund in legal tender of 80
per cent of the total circulation OF
the banks. Further. the president
recommends the removal of the 10
per cent prohibitory tax on state
bank circulation. The positive de-
termination Of the president to pre-
serve the nations credit by MAIN
tanning the gold reserve, despite the
fact that congress has left him but
one alternative to carry out this pol
icy, will merit the plaudits of all
loyal citizens Of the republic.
While an extended summary was
given Of the message in Yesterdays
ARGUS, it appears in full in the issue
Of today.

than warm, and several gentlemen
passed the he. 1t was only war of
words, however. aud no blood smear ed
the floor.
The cedar block advocates were pres.
ent with their petition. and SO were
those who desire vitrified brick, granite
and asphalt.
The cedar block people presented a
petition. and the brick people went them
one better by presenting a pstitlon con-
tanning half hundred more names.
Vote after vote was taken, but each
time the matter grew worse, and the
meeting finally broke up with nothing
accomplished. The brick men were in
the majority, cedar blocks came next,
then asphalt, and last of all granite.
The matter will have to be settled BY
the council as whole. for the commit
tee cannot come to an understanding
with the property owners. The council
meeting tonight will be adjourned for
one week, and at the next meeting the
paving will be taken up and settled, the
property owners in the meantime de-
termining upon what they want.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Chairman Cald-
well, of the Western Passenger associ-

the association for Saturday of this
week to consider the question Of Grand

Paul to the Atlantic seabOard. A meet
ing of ali the lines Interested was held
In st. Paul yesterday. and Ii was de-
cided that the present time was not adj

present rate of 2215 cents from st. Paul
to the Atlantic coast should be rigidly
maintained.

The six Affirmative votes were as fol-
lows: Hill,of New York. lrby,of South
Carolina, Democrats; Hansbrough, of
North Dakota. Republican; and Allen,
Kyle and PETER. Populists.
The vote on that portion of the reso-
luton receding from the amendment on
coal followed. 1t was also defeated,
to Ga. The same senators voted for this
motion as for the iron ore proposition,
Mr.. WaShburn then submitted a motion
to instruct the senate conferees to re-
cede from that portion of the sugar
schedule placing the one-eIghth of cent
differential on sugars above 16 Dutch
standard.
Mr.. Gray made the point of order
against the motion that it was not com-
petent for the senate to instruct its
conferees in "full and free'' confer
ence to insist upon or to recede from
any particular amendment. To do so
would be to prevent the free and I'M
trammeled consideration of amend
mentS in conference.
An attempt was made to prevent de-
bate upon the point of order, as it could
proceed only by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Faulkner interposed an objection,
but being appealed to by Mr.. Mander-
son (Rep., Neb.) and Mr.. Hale (Rep.,
Me- not to shut off debate on such an
important question, he withdrew his
objection, and debate proceeded.
Mr.. Hale commended that an instruc-
ton to the confereees to recede from an
amendment put upon the bill by the
senate would not trammel the con-
ferees. 1t would simply eliminate the
subject of difference.
Mr.. Mills bolstered Mr.. Gray's point
of order with another-that the senate
could not instruct its conferees to do
that which it could not do itself.
Mr.. German maintained that the con-
ferees could not be instructed. With
out discussing the point of order the
senate at 5:45 p. m. adjourned.
