Knowing full well that many Of The
REPUBLIC readers take no other paper
likely to give them the presidents mes
sage to congress, and realizing that the
document referred to should be and is
of interest to every citizen Of the Unit
ed States, The REPUBLIC prints the en-.
tire message, although it somewhat ex-
cludes other matter.
The presidents message is an unusu-
ally lengthy one, and touches upon but
two subjects foreign relations and the
financial question.
On the first subject the president
still continues in the conservative poll
cy that has marked his administration
from the outset, and relies upon the
Importance of the United States as
leading nation of the world, to secure
its recognition by foreign powers.
This policy has been frequently taken
advantage by the foreign powers, which
would not have been had the admins
tration shown more frmness in its
dealings with them.
On the financial question the presi
dent reviews the events leading up t.
the bond issues, and lays the blame
everywhere but where it belongs. The
remedy, he thinks, lies in the retire.
ment of the legal tenders and silver
certificates, and an augmentation Of
national bank issues.
This policy, if carried out, would put
the destiny of American finances il
the hands of the bankers, a condition
that has been Locked forward to fol
thirty years or mole, and which hac
for it's beginning the demonstration Of
silver in 1873. Every act, relating tt
finance, that has passed the nationa
legislature since has been a step nearer
the goal of banking supremacy.
The effect the retirement of nearly
s50O,OOOOOO of circulating medium
would have upon the mercantile and
industrial interests of the United
States cannot be realized. Property
values and prices would rapidly fall
and a general panic paralyze all indus,
try, and bankrupt thousands of bust
ness men. Even should enlarged ma
tiOnal bank issues equal the retire
ment, the banks could expand or con
tract the currency at viii, and by &
combined manipulation reap the pro
fits from every industry in the country
As a partisan goldite the president
sees nothing but evil in the silver ques-
ton. He endeayors to compare gold,
enjoying all the benefits of free mint
age, with silver, hampered as it is by
being through unjust laws reduced to
the condition of token money. All the
comparisons drawn are since the de-
monetization act of 1878, which cannot
but be unfair to the white metal. The
ruin and decentralization he sees in TIT
event of silver being remOnetized is
imaginary, and a goldbug theory that
is untenable.
Taken as a whole Mr.. Cleveland
message is a good one from his stand
point, and no doubt has met the ap
prevail Of the moneyed and monopolis
tic interests whose servant he is.

more than a year experiments wita the
gauges have been in progress st the

conclusion thai fae level of the gulf

though irregular subsistence of the land

never read; but here he branched of
into what I first supposed to be purely
imaginary speculations as to the wrong
which had led the murderer to seek the
life Of the unknown man. These seem
ed purposely vague at first, but gather
ed in strength and certainty, until I
concluded that he must have some good
foundation for them. Starting with
hypothesis, he soon began to state
them as facts. He described how the
dead man, a once trusted friend, had
entered the home of another; how by
subtle wiles and deceit, he had stolen
the love of his wife; then followed an
elOpement and the breaking up of that
once happy home.
"He told with the bitterness of truth
how the scoundrel had deserted the
weak and helpless woman and left her
to perish alone, how the idea of revenge
had filed the mind of the wronged
husband; how. himself unseen, he had
followed every movement of the intend
ed victim for months and carefully
plotted his destruction; how he had de-
cOyed the doomed man to the city and
to the very spot where the murder was
committed; and how he had destroyed
the only clews-a couple Of letters in
the pockets of the dead man-and final
ly made his own escape, the secret safe
in his own heart alone.
Gas 1 read this remarkable tale the
/ conviction forced itself upon me that
this was the absolute truth. If the
writer himself had committed the deed
be could not have described it more
graphically. Suddenly the thought
flashed over me-could he describe
such a crime thus without having, in
fact, committed it?
"We were alone in the room. I glanc-
ed at Jones apprehensively. He was
writingly rapidly-fercely. His eyes
were fixed, but he seemed to be looking
through and beyond the paper, across
which his pen few, at something fas-

in Venice, 1863 in Paris, 1862 in London
and 1894 in Leipsic. From the very
first. however, the conventional ORR
entail coffee cup, without stand or
handle, was but little used. and in
Germany not at all. On the other
hand, the Chinese tea cup was used not
only for coffee and tea, but for choco-
late as well.
Undoubtedly specimens of porcelain
were introduced into Europe during
the middle ages. Yet these were not
imported in very great quantity from
China until after 1918. Even then
they came first as articles of vertu,
and it was not until later that they
were used to drink from. The most
prominent of these were cups. Many
of the specimens. however, found their
way back to the middle kingdom again.
The penchant for collecting old
porcelain is far more universal in China
than with US. and better price is paid
for it.
The collection of Chinese porcelains,
