The Message.

The larger part of President
Cleveland's message touches on the
financial question, and that, too, is
the part which has the greater inter
est for the people. The president
believes that the financial situation
is in "such a perpleXing and delicate
predicament as TO require prompt
and wise treatment, and he finds the
only remedy for the existing condi-
ton of things, in the retirement and
cancellation of the greenbacks and
Sherman notes, which have drawn
the gold reserve down to SIS, 100000,
and which have already necessltated
the sale of $l62, 100000 of bonds.
lie would exchange these notes for
long time and low interest govern
ment bonds, some of the bonds to be
sold in Europe for gold to replace
the greenbacks in the treasury, these
greenbacks to be cancelled. This
gold, and the new notes which the
banks could issue on the basis of the
new bonds, he thinks, would prevent
any contraction IN the currency by
the extinction OF of this OBJ
iectionable circulation. AS an in
ducement for the banks TO take
the new bonds and to increase their
holdings of the present bonds, he
recommends the issue of notes to the
par value of the bonds, instead of
to 90 per cent. as now, and the re-
duction of the tax on bank circula-
ton to one-fourth of one per cent.
The president makes no sugges
tions looking to an increase in rev.
enues. He thinks the shortage of
the revenues has very little to do
with the gold depletion, and the
great problem, therefore, is the
replacement of the Objectionable
currency by some better form of cir
culation. While there is a probabil-
ity that more revenue will be needed
in any event, there is no doubt that
the presidents plan for getting rid
of the greenbacks and Sherman
notes is simple and wise. His plan
will, however, be combated by about
half of the republicans and four
fifths of the democrats. This part
of the message, however, is exceed
ingly interesting and deserves a
careful reading.

Gained Since Christm2s-The Next Size
VIII be Eight Inches
What is the latest from the well" is
heard on every hand. For the purpose
OF ascertaining the latest a reporter
visited the drill where he learned the
following:
The contractor has attempted all week
to continue the drilling without stop
ping TO case the hole. Every time a
set of casing is put down the diameter
Of the drill is lessened aco.U two inches
1t was desired to keep the well al 5ts
present diameter, which is about ten
inches. until they had reached depth
Of 1000 feet. as it was feared that num-
erous bodies of water would be found.
and by making the necessary reduction
the hole would play our.
After reaching the salt water the drill
Ing was kept on into the rock below for
the depth OF about thirty feet, but every
time the drill was raised the water and
debris would fill the cavity, and as a
consequence the work has been very
slow and tedious and wholly uninter-
esting.
When City Engineer Jackson was seen
last Right he said:
i have about come TO the conclusion
that il will be necessary for US 10 put
down more casing. We have deferred
this as long as possible in hopes that
we could pump out sufficient amount
Of the sand 10 permit us 10 keep on
drilling without stopping 10 case. II is
not only expensive 10 case we'll. but IL
lessons the diameter every time, ard to
case at The present time will require a
large amount Of casing.
"Since we let the drill up for Christ
mas things have not moved very fast
Chinaward, although every body has
worked hard. 1 am afraid we will
have to shut down until after the cas-
ing is put IN.
There is no end to the salt water
and the mineral sand. / can not think
that any one Dis to blame for the pres
ent trouble, but it seems as though the
valley is filled with Subterranean
streams. We are in the neighborhood
Of 500 feet deep and have reached a
solid rock. Yesterday We struck a
stratum OF clay and this was followed
by slate.

stops. 1 hope SO at least"
