The Message.

The President is clearly of the opin-
ion that the tariff legislation at the ex-
ira session of Congress should be given
the test of time, as to it's revenue rails
ing capacity, and that no further tariff
legislation should be undertaken dur
ing the present session of Congress.
The next step, in the judgment of
the executive, in the work of putting
the business interests of the nation on
sound basis is in the direction of
currency reform. He discusses this
question at length and concludes by
recommending that the act of Congress
requiring that the demand notes of the
government shall be reissued after re-
demption be repealed; that law be
enacted requiring that these notes shall
be retired when redeemed in gold, and
shall be reissued only against deposits
in gold. Thus will the "endless chain
be broken, the treasury protected
against multiplied redemption" and
the necessity for the issuance of bonds
to protect the gold reserve avoided. In
the country at large there will undoubt'
eddy be very general concurrence in
this recommendation.
The space the President devotes tc
the Cuban question indicates the i'm
portant rank it holds in national af
fairs; and the long and elaborate effort
to sustain the policy this government
has pursued towards Spain and Cubs
conveys an impression that the execu
tive conscience is not quite at rest il
the matter; that for one reason or an
other it has failed in the discharge o.
its full duty to brave people, our neal
neighbors, fighting for freedom and in
dependence, as did our fathers, agains
appalling odds; that it has hardly fol
lowed the example of the Good Samari
tan or obeyed the mandate of com
mon humanity. Nevertheless, the de
termination of the President to allow
the new Spanish administration {
chance 10 give it's new policy fai
trial-however foredoomed it may b.
to failure-is entirely commendable ant
will be approved by the nation.

Troubled Austria.

The rioting in the Austrian parlia-
ment, broken up by the dispersion of
that body by imperial decree, has been
transferred to the pOpulace of Prague.
The Germans of that city have arisen
against the Czechs, acts of violence are
committed, an immense military force
has been called out to preserve order,
and there has been bloodshed in the
conflicts between the mob and the SOL
diery.
What are all this prolonged disturb
ance and bloody violence aboutP Any
thing resembling harmony and govern
ment amid the Heterogeneous elements
that constitute the tria-Hungarian
Empire would seem to be impossible.
In the Austrian division of the Empire
there is population of some 23 500, 900,
made up OF Slavs Q0,000,00W, Ger
mans, $500 ,000), Poles, Italians, etc. /;
in the Hungarian division, 100000,
composed of Magyars q ,500,0OO), Ger
mans (2,000,000), and several other
races having about the same population
as the Germans. There are as many
languages or dialects as there are races,
and these exceed bakers dozen in the
whole Empire, with similar diversity
OF religions.
For governing this conglomeration
of peoples there is at Vienna the Aus
trian reichsrath, which, being translat-
ed, is legislature, and at Buda. Pesth

a legislature. Each is complete ma
tional parli ,ment, having an upper and
lower chamber and ministry. In the
provinces there is the landtag, or local
legislative body. Delegates from the
two national parliaments arrange all
matters, like war, the tariff, etc., which
pertain to the empire at large. The
division of the imperial expenses be-
tween Austria and Hungary is arranged
under special compact for periods of
ten years and is decenuialy renewed.
This compact requires the ratification
of each parliament. The first compact
was made in December, 1867, and the
third renewal was pending in the Aus
trian reichsrath which has just been
dissolved, and was one of the causes
of the riotous proceedings in that body.
The Hungarian share of the national
expenses has always been consider
ably less than the Austrian. Hungary
would not consent to an increase of
her imperial tax rate, or to the reduc-
ton of Austria's. In their demand for
the increase of Hungary's quota the
German members of the Austrian par
lament were particularly obstreperous.
Even provisional renewal of the ex-
listing ratio for one year was violently
refused.
Another cause Of the national dis.
turbance is race jealousy. The Mag
vars long ago demanded, and were &C.
corded, the use of their language in the
courts and the government. The jeal'
ousy of Bohemia was aroused and the
Czechs began to demand for theil
tongue the same privilege, which the
Austrian prime minister, Badeni, in
behalf of the ministry, not long ago de
creed. Now other races are demand
ing the same recognition; the German
are claiming that the language decree
is contrary to the constitution, and an
grily protest against sharing politica
predominance. with the other races
which they regard as barbarians. Fail
ing to secure the impeachment ofBaden
for the language decree, the German
members of the Austrian parliamen
seized upon the termination of the tel
years compact for apportioning the inn
perial expenses to deprive the govern
ment of the means of support, and t.
carry this resorted to the riotous OBJ
structive tactics that have recent,
amazed civilization. The Hungarian
parliament adopted the one year pro
visional measure proposed by the min
istry, but the Germans, to employ al
American term, fillibustered to proven
its adoption by the coordinate parlia
ment of Austria.
The Germans of the dispersed
reichsrath have carried the brands o
parliamentary disorder into the prov
inces and popular disturbances ar
blazing up all over the Empire. Babe
nj has resigned and his successor vii
take up the arduous task of bringing
order out of confusion COMPOUNDED, an,
harmony out of elemental discord.

THERE is a disposition to look with a
somewhat ouizzical air toward those
silver missionaries, Senators Pettigrew,
Mantle and Dubois, who, it will be re-
membered, hurried away from Wash
ington, at the close of the special ses-
sion, to visit Japan. 1t was announced
that their object in making this trip
was to examine into the causes which
led Japan to abandon the silver stand
ard and fall in line with the progress
sive gold standard nations of the world.
Japan, il will be remembered, was a
shining example of free silver prosper
ity during the discussions of 1896, and
no single incident since the defeat of
1896 so much disturbed the silver advo-
Gates as the loss of Japan from their
list OF silver standard countries. 1t
was because of this fact that the silver
advocates scurried away to interview
these Yankees of the Orient, and find
out Just how they had been "taken in"
by the gold schemers of Europe. These
gentlemen, although they returned
from Japan weeks ago, have been alb
solutely silent, and their coming to
Washington is looked forward to with
much interest, as there will be dispo.
sition on the part of members of both
parties to insist upon either definite
report or an explanation of their ST.
lence. The fact that they have had
nothing to say since they returned is
considered, to say the least, suggestive
of failure to find in Japan any sufficient
argument in support of their silver
theory.
THE Governor of Kansas put spec
ial clause of thanks in his Thanksgiving
proclamation this year for the prosper
ity and good times that had come to
Kansas. The Governor was elected
on the ticket which supported Free
Trader Bryan and his un- Amercan
policy of giving the American market
to foreigners, and on a platform which
denounced the American system OF
protection, and prophesied calamity il
the great leader of protection were
elected to the presidency. But the &C
tual existence of prosperity on every
hand is fact which even man elect
ed on free-trade ticket is obliged tc
recognize. Kansas owes her present
prosperity to the victory won by pro
lection. For, though the demand fol
American cereals in foreign markets
has been a great element in the good
times which have come to Kansas, ye,
it must be remembered that even that
demand could not have brought pros
perity, if the home demand had beer
cut off, because the people were with
out work and therefore without wages
with which to buy. Protection hal
made factories hum all over the country
and has provided an army of workers t.
consume the Kansas farmers products
If Kansas likes the good times she hal
had this year, let her help to establish
protection for American workmen an(
30 create home market great enough
to take all her products every year, ire
spective of what the foreign demand
may be.

THE Democrats are sadly in need of
campaign ammunition for the Congress
sional fight. The party out of power
alwas expects to make an aggressive
campaign based on the official actions
of the party in power, but up to this
time the administration and the Re.
publican Congress elected with it have
furnished so little material for criticism
that the Democratic leaders are at loss
for campaign ammunition.

THE Legal let up on DR.. Giddings is
justified by the circumstances. He has
been sufficiently-and fearfully-pun-
ished. Considering his utter lack of
qualifications for the responsible post
to which he was appointed, he should
have declined the appointment; and the
trustees of the asylum should never have
appointed him. If there is to be
any further legal inquisition in the
matter, the men who made DR.. Gid
dings superintendent of the Waterbury
asylum should now be put on the rack.

AMERICAN securities formerly held
abroad are being returned to the United
States in large quantities, thus reduc-
ing the actual imports of money which
would otherwise occur as a result of our
large expectations. This fact is es-
pecally interesting because it shows
that the people of the United States
are rapidly becoming independent of
the financiers of the old world, and that
there will be from this time forward a
great reduction in the amount of
money sent abroad in the payment of
interest. The country at large is fol-
lowing the example of individuals, and
reducing its indebtedness to others.

its tenth annual report. The report is
a document of 224 pages and is filled
with practical and scientific matter of
great value to the farmer in any de-
partment of his vocation. The dairy

animal life, will find in the report much
valuable information and many helpful
suggestions. The results of feeding
farm animals are given, the details and
results of experiments in various
branches of farming are published, all
from practical work done at the Station.

LYNN M. HAYS, the versatile editor
of the Essex Record, has been studying
the annual report of State Treasurer
Field and has this to say: 1.-THE state
ment of the state treasurer for the year
ending June 30, the present year,
shows one very interesting item. There
was received from peddlers in license
fees $40. This amount came from two
individuals, o. P. Ray, Chittenden, and
H. T. Cushman, Bennington. We are
inquisitive to know if there are no
more peddlers in the state, and if there
are, why have they escaped the tax. 1t
strikes US the law in this respect is not
being enforced. Each peddler should
be made TO pay the full tax. These
merchants on wheel or on foot take
from the business men of every town in
the state, trade which naturally belongs
to them. Impose the tax. Don't let a
peddler escape. And if the tax isn't
heavy enough let's make it 50. The
officials responsible for the enactment
of this law have evidently been asleep"

The approaching holiday season will
be one of much greater happiness to
wage earners than have been those of
the past few years. The earnings of
employees in the manufacturing Sec
tions have already been increased in
many instances, and recent dispatches
from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio
show that a number of the great iron
mines of Pennsylvania and Michigan
are to increase the wages of their en-
ployees ten per cent on January l, and
that the limestone operators of the Ma
honing Valley, in Ohio, have increased
the wages of their employees twenty
per cent. The effect of the return of a
protective tariff is promptly felt.
