THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland has been prudent
in not precipitating war with Turkey
about Armenia that might have involved
this country with other nations, and
also prudent as to Cuba when a war
with Spain might have resulted. As
Falstaff says: Discretion is the better
part Of valor." Besides, Mr.. Cleveland
is near the end of his term and he
evidently desires to avoid complications
while not sparing the atrocities in Turkey
or approving the rule Of Spain in Cuba.
According to the president the peo.
pie are anxious to crush the trusts, and
both congress and the executive are
willing, but the courts ere in the
way. On this last point the president
does not expatiate, probably fearing to
approve the Chicago platform on the
courts decision on the income tax.
Of course the president urges that
the greenbacks and treasury notes be
redeemed and destroyed claiming the
present system is fraught with peril. He
says: ~ "a more convinced than ever
that we can have no assured financial
peace and safety until the government
currency obligations, upon which gold
may be demanded from the treasury, are
withdrawn from circulation and can
celled," and to that end he advises the
issuing of low interest long time bonds,
Of course Mr.. Cleveland does not con
template the use of silver with which to
redeem any Of our paper promises
although at this time silver is being coin
ed at the rate of two millions month.
He is certainly right in saying national
banks should redeem their own notes
These institutions can present green
backs at the government treasury and
get the gold, and yet their paper pro
misses are not a legal tender in payment
of debt. Of course the government
bonds are back of the circulation, bu
all this shows what hodge podge oul
currency system is, and the people suffel
accordingly. Mr.. Cleveland had granC
and glorious opportunity to serve the
people and do his country lasting good
| but he utterly failed to follow the lines
of the constitution and walk in thu
steps of illustrious predecessors in re
gard to gold and silver. He threw away
the opportunity and also the heart anC
good will of the people, and has helpeC
to continue disaster and pile up bonds
This is bonded age and becoming NOR
and more so. The danger is bursting
point may come. Nations are enslaveC
and municipalities also by bonds, anC
the evil grows on what it feeds, Hoy
long, Oh Lord, how long.

This Denzil vowed to every evil,

A late dispatch from Birmingham,
Ala, announces sales of 5000 tons of
iron for delivery in Calcutta, 5000 tons
for Liverpool and also orders for Rotter-
dam, Genoa and other points in foreign
countries. A constant market for sur
plus southern iron outside of the United
States seems to be an assured feature of
future business An order is reported
from Detroit for 1000 tons of pig iron
for Budapest Of peculiar character to
be used in the manufacture of car wheels.
But the more finished product of nor,h-
ern manufactures is also finding a
market abroad. Surely the foregoing
does not indicate that iron is in need
of protective duties. This country seems
TO be beating the world in cheap iron.

The "wool" and "woolen" lobbies are
already on hand, like vultures that scent
the carrion, to persuade Congress to
abandon the people of this country to
their plunderiDgs. The one hope of con,
sumers is that those who want more
tariff on woods and those who want more
tariff on woolens cannot agree among
themselves as to suitable division OF
the proceeds of the prospective robbery
Whilst they fight over rates of duty
warm wooden blankets and woolen
clothing will continue to be sold al
moderate prices, and no thanks to them.

HAWAII KIND TO LII,
Consuls Ordered to Show Her Honor,
Comment In Washington,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-While no
official information has been received
as to the purpose of ex.Queen Liluoka.
lani's visit to this country, her coming
at this time occasions much comment
in official quarters. She will be met
here, it is understood, by Princess
Kaiulani, who has been sojourning in
Italy and will come here for this
meeting.
Minister Hatch of Hawaii is now in
New York and Mr.. Cooper, the Ha.

1t is understood that the queens re.
sources have been such of late that the
addition of a pension, as one of the
features of the proposed annexation
treaty, might not be acceptable.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l2.-Ex.Q Queen
Liluokalani is extremely reticent To
all questions as to her intentions she re.
plies: II have not yet matured my
plans" She would not even say why
she had left Honolulu. The Hawaiian

from his government stating that on the
morning of her departure Liluokalani
called on President Dole and informed
him that she was going to Boston to see
relatives Of her husband, the late John
Dominis. Representatives Of Hawaii
In this country have been instructed to

Has Pockets In Her Dresses.
A Chicago woman is the proud pos
SCISSOR of costume in which there are no
less than 13 pockets. She wears it every
day, too, for she is business woman
and has her pockets well filed with note
books, cards, receipts, letters and bills,
besides such feminine things as gloves
and hairpins. Any woman can imagine
what never failing joy it would be to
reflect that, whatever might happen, she
had half dozen hairpins in her left
vest pocket.
Mrs II. A. Emmons is the name Of
this most fortunate Chicago woman.
Her husband is a confirmed invalid, and
when he was obliged to leave the pulpit
several years ago on account of i'll health
Mrs. Emmons started out to make liv-
ing for them both. She has done it, too,
but she does not believe she could have
been successful had she been hampered
by petticoats. But when Mrs. Emmons
started out as real estate agent she dis
carded petticoats for good and adopted
what she terms q rational costume. She
