The Presidents annual message
to Congress was disappointment to
his friends, and it is doubtful # any
President ever consumed so much
space to say so little. The only
spirit or sincere ring in the whole
paper was that part devoted to the
Venezuela question. His views as
TO the financial situation are peculiar
but suggest no lines by which the
condition ofaffairs could be bettered
unless the clause which recon-
mends a change in our National
banking laws can be twisted into
such position. In the face of the
two bond issues aggregating one
hundred and five millions of dollars,
and deficit in receipts over expen-
ditures of the treasury, President
Cleveland attempts to show sur
plus in the treasury to-day, and at
the same time admits that the gold
reserve has fallen many millions be-
low the amount required by law. He
goes still further and claims that tar
iff for revenue measures are not nee
essary. His treatment of the Cuban
question is humiliating and on all |
questions touching our foreign re
lations his treatment was that of an
incompetent diplomat and states
man. The task of passing laws to
give financial relief to the country
must be worked out by the Senate
and House Of Representatives with
out any suggestions from President

was not designed as charity, being nothing

1t however resulted in great good just the
same. They gave away /, 600 bottles of
their Digestive Cordial to those suffering
from stomach arrangements.
1t was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in their
praises ofit and in consequence large de-

grew famous through its good
ness the average shoe store
commenced selling "Vici Kid

bought any, of course, made
no difference.

that has driven the biggest
slice of trade to the store that
doesn't do it.
Vici Kid is made by Robert

on the market. We want the
best-hence we buy from Foer-
