IHE MESSAGE.

We surrender the greater part OF
our space today to the last regular
message which President Cleveland
will have the honor to submit to the
Congress OF the United States. Like
ali OF his stale papers, the document In
question is very lengthy, but 1t viii no
doubt DO read with interest. VI
the numerous SUBJECTS discussed, the
references to Cuba, the Pacific rail-
roads, government finances and the
tariff will probably receive the great
eel attention. Fairness requires that
the message be described as at times
turgid at other tine, felicitous In
phraseology, yet Oh the whole digni-
fed and conservative. Any comment
upon special features will have to be
deferred to a later date, when both
time and space are more plentiful than
on this occasion.

Germans and Republicanism'

A leading German politician Of
Topeka, Oscar Bischolf, renounces
Democracy and returns to the Repub-
lican fold giving the following good
reasons for his actions: 1.-THE Ger
man people, as q rule, are naturally
Republicans politically. They have
been switched off to the Democratic
party because Of the attitude of the
Republican party on the prohibition
question. But they have found that
the Democrat party has not helped
them any in securing the repeal of
the prohibitory law. Many of them
are beginning to feel, as | do, thatitis
not the party to unmake it. have
resolved to go back to the Republican
party to unmake it. have resolved
I
to 90 back to the Republican party,
where belong, and work with the
liberal element in that party to secure
resubmission. advocated this very
thing before our state league and the
suggestion was very favorably receiv-
ed Many Germans, whom | know,
are going to do just as | am doing.
About the only difference between the
Republican party and the Democratic
party is the question of tariff, and
after our experience in borrowing
money to run the government | be-
lieve the tariff is all right. | shall
work for what | want inside the
Republican party hereafter, and so

WILL STONE REslcNq

RumOr That Miss0uri's Executive VIII Do
vote His Entire Time TO the Democrats
Campaign.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lit is not
xithout the range Of probabilities that
W. J. Stone, Of Missouri, may resign
ais Office as governor to take q prin-
cipsl part in the management Of the
democratic national campaign. Now
that It has been settled that Senator
German will not accept the chairman
ship Of the democratic national execu-
tive committee, the preference Of tho
leaders seems to be for Gov. Stone.
Mr.. Bryan, too. Is said to favor tho
Missouri executive.
OF course, 1t would be impossible for
Gov. Stone to assume the responsible
ties Of campaign management and at
the same time retain the governorship,
and this is where the hitch comes 10.
The chairman Of the national executive
committee will be compelled to devote
his whole time 10 his duties. That the
position has been offered to Gov. Stone
there is hardly doubt, and the delay
OF Chairman Jones in announcing the
executive committee is believed to be
due to Gov. stones hesitancy as to his
decision
