Message of The President to CONGRESS-.

As to the remaining section Of the
Alaskan boundary, which follows the
one hundred and forty first meridian
nortbwardly from Mount st. Elias to
the frozen ocean, the settlement of
which involves the physical location
Of the meridian mentioned, no conven-
tional agreement has yet been made.
The ascertainment of a given meridian
at particular point is a work requir-
ing much time and careful observations
and surveys. Such observations aud
surveys were undertaken by the United
States Coast and Geodetio Survey in
1890 and 1891, while similar work in
the same quarters under British auspices
are believed to give nearly coincident
results; but these surveys have been
independently conducted. and no inter.
national agreement to mark these or
any other parts Of the one hundred and
forty first meridian by permanent
monuments has yet been made.
:. In the meantime the valley of the
Yukon is becoming highway through
the hitherto unexplored wilds Of Alaska.
and abundant mineral wealth has been
dicovered in that region, especially at
or near the junction Of the boundary
meridian with the Yukon and its tribu-
taries. In these circumstances it is
expedient, indeed imperative. that the
jurisdictional limits Of the respective
Governments in this new region be
speedily determined. Her Britannia
Majesty's Government has proposed a
joint delimitation of the one hundred
and forty. first meridian by an interna-
tioDal commission of experts. which,
if Congress will authorize it and make
due provision threefor. can be accom-.
plisbed with no reasonable delay. 1t

States as regards the controversy

account and in view of its relations

cerned.
+ In July last. therefore. dispatch
was addressed to our ambassador at
London for communication to the
British Government. in which the
attitude of the United States was fully
and distinctly set forth. The general
conclusions therein reached and formu-
lated are in substance that the tradi-
tional and established policy Of this

forcible increase by any European
power of its territorial possessions to
this continent; that this policy is as
we'll founded in principle as it is
strongly supported by numerous prece-
dents; that as consequence the United
States is bound to protest against the
enlargement Of the area of British
Guiana in derogation OF the rights and
against the will of Venezuela;" that
considering the disparity in strength
of Great Britain and Venezuela the
territorial dispute between them can
be reasonably settled only by friendly,
impartial arbitration and the resort
to such arbitration should include The
whole controversy and is not satisfied
if one of the powers concerned is per
mitted to draw an arbitrary lin,
through the territory in debate and II
declare that it will submit to arbitra
ton only the portion lying on one sid

In view OF these conclusions tn

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Early in January last An uprising
against the Government of Hawaii
was promptly suppressed. Martial
law was forthwith proclaimed and
numerous arrests we're made of persons
suspected of being in sympathy with
the royalist party. Among these were
several citizens Of the United States,
who were either convicted by q mill.

imprisonment or fine. or were deportsd
without trial.
The United States. while denying
protection to such as had taken the
Hawaiian oath Of allegiance. insisted
that martial law, though altering the
forms Of Justice. could not supersede
justice itself. and demanded stay Of
execution until the proceedings had
been submitted to this Governments and
the knowledge obtained therefrom that
our citizens had received fair trial.
The death sentences were subsequently
committed or were RENTED ON con.
dition of leaving the Islands. The
cases of certain Americans arrested and
expelled by arbitrary order, without
formal charge or trial. have had atten-
tiob, and in some instances have been
found to justify remonstrance and q
claim for indemnity. which Hawaii
has not thus far conceded.

Nicaraguan affair have created no lit

The other evening several citizens
were discussing the subject, one of
whom was "Hank the Butcher" who
is thoroughbred Yankee, and an ar.

He insisted that the geographical lines
of the United States ought to be ex-
tended; that this country should be
within natural confines. One of the
gentlemen present asked: "Well,

he would produce Heney for examin-

A Foul Blow.

The Morgan Rothschild syndicate
has served President Cleveland q bad
turn by offering premium on gold.
The prospect of the gold monometal-
list party, of which Mr.. Cleveland has
made himself the head, cannot be inn
proved by showing the world that a
syndicate of money lenders can corner
the gold market. Whether this syn
dictate movement is designed to create
d condition III the treasury which will
compel the president to authorize an
other loan docs not much matter. If
such be the purpose OF the syndicate
the result will be the addition of
few millions to the American rational
debt. Unpleasant as this Increased
debt may be, it is not to he consid
cred in comparison to an appreciation
in the purchasing power of gold. AS
all currency resolves itself ultimately
into gold an increase in tho purchas-
ing power Of gold is equivalent to an
increase in the purchasing power of
currency. The same condition is as
clearly expressed by 'uslng the term
of a fall in the value of commodities.
1t was hardly fair On tho part of the
Morgan Rothschild syndicate to fur
nish the silver men with such an ar
gument on the eve of a decisive cam
paign. The American, people are not
yet prepared to have their currency
solely in kind of money that a syn
dictate of money lenders can cause to
rise or falls. f.. Fulletin.

Paper Money and Disease.

There is no place in the world where
more dirty paper money is handled
from day to day than in the national
bank redemption division of the treas
ury department. There are in existence
some 3, 500 national banks, each of
which has outstanding bank notes rang
ing in amount from $4,000 or $4,000
up to nearly $500, 900. Every dollar of
these notes passes through the hands of
the men and women employed in the
national bank redemption division.
This office has been in existence now
for about 80 years. There are employed
in the division somewhere about %
girls and women. They handle untold
millions" Of bills in the course of a
year, and if there was any danger from
contagious and infect Gus diseases in old
bank notes it would seem as though
this would be the place to find symp-
toms.
Yet Mr.. Rogers, who has been chief
Of the division for ten years, and who
has been connected with it since it was
organized, assured the correspondent
that there has never been a case of in
fictitious or contagious disease contracted
by one Of the employees of his office.
Every one of them handles the bills sent
in for redemption. They are counted
and sorted time after time They are
the dirtiest specimens of money to be
found in the country. Rochester Post

And fain would remember
Bright things, glad things, my footsteps met
Before they touched December,
But the home where my childhood learned its
songs,
And the brook and the bank where the pine
belongs,
never can forget them.
So many things do forget
And fain would remember,
Bright things, wise things my footsteps met
Before they touched December,
But the friends of childhOOd's long ago,
By the mountain Swallowed river
With fadeless light their names shall glow
Forever and forever.
so many things l do forget,
And fain would / remember,
Bright things sweet things, my footsteps met
Before they crossed November,
But the blue of my angel mothers eyes
And the tears of love that wet them,
And the kisses of one beyond the skies,
/ never shall forget them.
So many things / have forgot,
Nor wish l to remember,
Sad things, hard things, tell them not
To April or December,
But the ivies of the mountain wood,
And the scarlet plums behind them,
Would forget them if ] could,
Forgetting who could find them.
So many things we do forget,
And fain would remember,
Ere feet that danced the minuet
Have walked to slow December.
But the songs that silent lips have sung
Our memories silhouette them
We sing them over We are young
And never can forget them.
