M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE.
Advance Tips as to What He Will
Have to Say.


Washington, ID. c., Dec. q
The message of President Nc
Kinley will be devoted practical
ly to the subject of our foreign re-
latiOns and the currency prob
lem. 1t will be unique in one
respect in that it ignores great
bulk of matters usually cOnsti-
tuting departmental portions of
presidential annual messages.
There is scarcely reference to
the subject matter of the annual
reports of the cabinet, the presi-
dents purpose being to cite only
the more important affairs of the
government. For this reason
the postal savings project of Post
master General Gray is not dis
cussed in the message. While
the details of the currency plank
are not definitely known it can
be authOritiyely stated that in
the main it will be
an incorporation of views
submitted by Secretary
Gage, though as to details
the president leaves himself to
freedom of action by not taking
any position with reference to sew
eral features of the secretary's
plan, while endorsing it's main
object.
a strong presentation of the
Hawaiian question is made and
Congress is urged to take immed-
late action by ratification of the
treaty of annexation. This part
of the message strongly depicts
the necessity of making the island
part of the domain of the United
States and review the advant-
ages that would accrue to the
country by its possession.
AS to Cuba the message calls
attention to the recent trend of
affairs on the island refers to the
scheme of autonomy just offered
by Spain, and after reciting other
improvements in the situation,
reaches virtual conclusion by
stating that the existing circ-
cumstances do not warrant inter
ference in the affairs of the island.
Considerable attention is paid
to the question of reciprocity ne
gOtiatiOns with various countries
in Europe. The policy of the ad-
mlnistratiOn on this subject is
outlined and citing French cham
pagnes as an illustration. The
point is made that if special con-
cessions are given to any foreign
products the United States must
De given equal treatment by re-
ciprOcal concession.
The Alaskan problem is dis
cussed at length and a plea made
for Congressional legislation, in
Guiding the extension of opera
ton of public land laws and the
granting of rights of way for
roads by which all parts of the
country may get to be more ac-
cessible.

women are working SucceSelul1y n
almost every field. Vick's Magazine
states that according to the census OF
1890 there were 312 commercial green
houses, or about one In fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have .
personal acquaintance with several
women who are successful retail dor-
lists. Other women, to our knowledge.
are making q success of raising car
nations and other flowers for the
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business Of raising and
selling flowers is beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head of poetry. And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were
led into the business because they first
Of all loved flowers. It adds to the de-
light and success Of any occupation II
one has a love therefor. There is no
question that, as a rule, women have .
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore. should they not en-
gage in growing and handling them for
profit? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care of greenhouse
furnaces. the handling Of soil and ma
nure and the like, can easily be don0
by men who work for moderate wages.
II women are successful as florists they
are equally so as raisers Of vegetables
and smaller fruits, especially strawber-
ries: they direct the rougher work, help
to prepare the produce for customers.
and perhaps take in hand the selling.
thus keeping closely in touch with the
state of the market. Generally speak
ing. we think that the raising of straw
berries near our best markets is further
from being overdone than that of al
most any other kind of produce. The
consumption is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields.
without large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work of
picking and handling small fruits il
suited to be done by women.
