abanaonment of the idea of a message de-
voted exclusively to the financial situa-
tlon. upon the theory that 1t might cause
needless alarm and appear Ike Puici'

The passage OF river and harbor biii
authorizing contracts for over Sp,vVV"
while the revenue Is still deficient gives
Mr.. Cleveland an opportunity when ne
is not likely TO neglect To draw a scath-
ing contrast between what Congress mas
actually done ana what II should nave
done. lie could point out. on the one
hand, that Congress had passed appf"prla-
ton bills calling for Sop,eOJeJ In SIN
