WILL sTART1-E THE COUNTRY

Washington advices to Chicago pa
pers state that President Cleveland
has already decided on action in regard
TO Cuba that will startle the country
This course OF action is to be an
nounced in his forthcoming message.
This may all be, but it is very doubt
full if anyone besides the president and
his cabinet knows whether it is so or
not. Mr.. Cleveland is rather noted
for keeping his own counsel. When
he sent his famous Venezuelan mes
sage TO congress he did not call in the
newspaper correspondents and init
mate" to them what his intentions
were. 1t is not at all likely that he
has done so regarding his forthcoming
message.
The ten days or two weeks immedi-
ately preceding the meeting of congress
are always period of dizziness. It is
time of waiting, and in the absence
of events, conjecture must take the
place of news. Hence it is that so
much is known about what the presi-
Dental message will contain, even be-
fore the message is framed. Predic-
tions as to what a message will con-
tain are very much like almanac pre-
dictions as TO what the weather will
be. 1t is always safe to say there will
be rain in spring, heat in summer,
snow and cold in winter So a presi-
Dental message will touch on domestic
and foreign topics. To the people at
large the presidential message answers
much the same purpose that Christmas
does to children-the one wonder
what the president will say; the other
wonder what Santa Claus will bring.
There is no reason whatever to be-
lieve that Mr.. Cleveland's message this
year will be radically different on the
Cuban question from what it was last
year. To say that it will clearly de-
fine the issue between this country and
Spain is more twaddle than anything
else. There is no issue between Spain
and this country; their relations are
friendly, and there is every prospect
that they will continue so.
So many well founded rumors are
sent out from Washington as TO what
the intentions of the government are in
the most serious matters possible, that
the country rarely knows when to ac-
cept one as being probable. If they
are not ignored, which they generally
are, their only purpose is to worry the
people more or less and depress bust
ness. In this Washington dispatch to
Chicago papers there is a saving clause
to the effect that if this startling"
announcement is not made in the pres
ident's annual message it will be made
in a special message. That very saving
clause is evidence that the rumors are
of the fake order. And it generally
turns out that the authority for these
rumors is no better than Sarah Camps
friend, Mrs. Harris.

Nevada is the Old Sarum of, Amer

state, with as many representatives in
the United States senate as New York.
Pennsylvania or Illinois, cast only S,507
