when 1t will be necessary for lhe Uni
ted States to intervene in Cuban affairs
He thinks congress should take some
action in regard to the Indebtedness of
the Pacific railroads to the govern
ment talks of Armenia, and Venezuela.
Thinks the United States should have
prisons OF its own, possibly for the rea-
son that when a Federal Judge com
mits any one for contempt the prison
er will be placed out OF the reach of
local sympathy. Advocates the retire
ment OF the greenbacks and takes a
parting wback at the trusts, trusts
that be has befriended straight through
his administration. He writes like a
man who does not believe that he is a
political corpse in need of prompt buri-
al. AS a whole the message is pos
sibly a shade better than others be has
written. Every Democrat is inclined
TO thank the Lord that there will new
or be another one OF them.

The Message.

The last Presidential message that
is ever likely TO emanate from the
pen of Grover Cleveland has been de-
livered to an expectant public. 1t is
satisfactory to Democrats for the rea-
son that it his last and that satisfaction
will increase and become more gleeful
as the days go by, until the fourth OF
next March rids the country for ever
OF both Cleveland and Cleyelandism.
That the message win have any infiu-
ence upon coming legislation no one
expects. The proportion OF the seven
ty-one millions of people in this coun-
try who will read it will be small. 1t
will take its place among other politi-
cal lumber at Washington and be for
gotten in q week. The President states
the facts in regard 10 Cuba and sets
forth that the insurgents have no es-
tablished government on the island
and that the semblance of government
that Spain preserves is little better
than shadow and is confined to the
larger towns. He hints darkly that
the time may arrive in the by and by

The United States cannot be said to
be a nation as France or Germany is a
nation. There is no cohesion among
the constituent parts. A dozen diff
ferent natioualities with different traits
and peculiarities have been poured in-
to this country and there has not been
sufficient time to WELD them into one
compact people. While this continues
to be the case public opinion will be
matter OF locality, there can hardly be
such thing as national public Opin-
ion. This fact permits crimes against
the whole people to be committed that
astound the careful observer. Because
of the many nationalities of our work
ing people it is almost impossible for
them to take united action in any di-
rection.

Ed. Notwithstanding with us
was a very quiet affair, which is usual

no services in this locality. hence we
remained a. home, and amused our
selves as best we could. The writer.

Let one get out in the lonely forest,
and observe the beauties of Nature, as

The men who fought Bryan and the
Chicago platform at the last election
are entitled to no place in Democrat
ic caucus and TO no consideration at
the hands of Democratic voters. Most
of them have been Republican bunko-
steerers, masqueradiDg as Democrats
for the purpose of side-tracking Dem
ocratic principles. Democrats will not
affiliate with these people under
any circumstances. What Repub-
lican is there that the Democrats of
Illinois would not rather see in the
Senate than John Nj. Palmer? What
Democrat would enter a caucus with
w. D. Bynum? No compromise is pos
sible with these people for they would
demand the discarding OF the Chicago
platform. Suppose we should discard
any part of that document. how much
of the party would be left? Let US go
a step farther and suppose that David
r. Francis should accept the Chicago
platform as it stands and be our next
candidate for Governor on it, how
many votes would he get? Suppose
David Bennett Hill should be the next
Democratic candidate for President,
how many states would he carry? A
campaign with VIM. r. Morrison as
standard bearer of the Democratic par
ty would be as grotesque to-day as the
Republican campaign of 1856 would
have been under the leadership OF
Robert Toombs. The Hills, the Whit
neys, the Vilases. the Carlisles, the
Dickensons and all of that class have
no home outside of the Republican
party. Let every thing possible be
done TO expedite their complete alb.
sorption by that organization. They
are an element of weakness to be got
rid OF at all hazards. A victory with
these people in control of the party
would be worse than a defeat with
them lighting it. Let them go to their
owe place!

You will find the WEEKLY POST
DISPATCH indispensable during the
year 1897. The year 1897 is going to
be brimful of interest. The incoming
of the Mckinley Administration, with
q new Congress, e'ected on a gold
platform, means legislation of a kind
that " i'll vitality interest every. news
paper reader in the country, and es-
pecially in the est and South.
Special attention will be paid in the
news of national character, and it
will be discussed editorially from the
point of view of the " est and South
as co trasted with that of Wall street.
The campaign for free silver will go
on in 1897, and nothing can do so much
to help along the campaign of educa
ton as a newspaper like the WEEK
LY POST DISPAT III This is shown
in the fact that in Missouri and in ev
ery other locality where the POST
DISPATCH has a large circulation,
the gains of Democracy and IF esilver
were of q sweeping character.
The POST DISPATCH deserves the
support of all Free Silver Den ocrats
because of the great fight 1t made in
the recent campaign for Democratic
principles and the Democratic ticket.
Hence the Free Silver men every
where should rally to its support by
sending in their subscription and in
ducing others to subscribe.

From the New York Sun.
Discussing the grounding of the Ameri-
can liner ST. Paul on Saturday, the agent
of a rival Atlantic liner. said:
1.-The newspapers that jump up and howl
that this accident was due to the fact
that the St. Paul was racing with the
Campania, and then print long stories
about the crime of ocean racing, simply
don't know what they are talking about
Why you know and everybody else who
will stop moment to think will see that
the big liners are always racing-that they
have to race. The moment the boats on
our line or any other line reach Sandy
Hook going out, they put on all steam
and go it for all they are worth They
don't go a bit faster because another boat
happens to be in sight. They can't go any
faster. If they don't do their best on all
occasions they would lose the postal con-
tracts, and they would lose the govern
ment subsidies. Another reason they get
there as quick as they can is that the
quicker the trip is made the less money
it costs the company.
But, above all, the public ought to I'M
derstand and the newspapers ought to
tell them so, instead of denouncing the
companies, that fast travelling on the
ocean is Just as safe and a great deal
more comfortable than slow travelling is
Can you point to a single instance where
an accident to a STEAMSHIP on the sea was
due to the speed a { which she was going {?
There is not one. If you look at the record
you Will find that there are proportionate-
" fewer accidents to the fast boats of the
big lines than there are to the slow boats
It's the same on the water as it is on the
land. 1t is the slow coach train that gets
wrecked hve times out of six. Fast trains
don run off the track, or smash things
or break down. If they do happen to
break down the tools are there to fix them
and the hands are the most skilled that
money can obtain. So on the great ships
The officers and men are a higher grade
of men than are employed on the slow
boats, and there is everything on board
OF great swift ship to repair almost
any damage that can possibly hannen
But was talking about racing. I want
to say that there is positively no more
rae ng when two boats are running side
thousand miles apart" q
