THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President MoKINLEY's Message is an
exhaustive, but able document. His
recommendations concerning finance
seem to be sound, and his statements
concerning the gold reserve and its
abuses founded upon facts.
He considers the tariff question set
tied, and declares that we are at peace
with all the world.
The Cubans will regard the message
as hostile, while the Spanish will hail
with delight all that he has been kind
enough to say.
His views as set forth means death
to independence so far as Cuba is con-
cerned, for he recommends even more
stringent precautions for the proven
tion of the filibusteriDg expeditions
which are alleged to be ileaving our
shores.
He favors the annexation of HAWAII,
makes no reference to the reimburse
ment of the depositors of the Freed
mems Bank, and sets at rest all doubt
as to his position on Civil Service by
declaring himself unqualifiedly in fav
or of it's perpetuation and extension.

GOV. OFERRALHs LAST MESSAGE.

The message of Gov. O'FRRRALL was
one of the ablest documents that has
ever been sent forth from the portals
of the gubernatorial office of Virginia
He has made the interests Of the
state paramount and set forth his well
matured views without fear or favor
No where in this document is there the
slightest evidence of that ''jingoism'
which has so often Disguised patriotic
people.
Few will find the messageIaltogether
paIatable; but all will admit that,
viewed from the standpoint of states
interest, it is all that it's author could
hope for it to be.
1t is impossible for US to discuss the
document in detail, with the limited
space at our command. His recon-
mendations relative to lynchings are
especially gratifying to Us.
In the elimination az this evil rests
the future prosperity o'the common
wealth.
We know that when the Governor
wrote the following line, he told the
whole truth:

~ OF a night spent on the top OF Mount

away the dull hours with only one small
revolver aa a weapon OF defence. and
expecting every moment TO becomaa prey

and they were safe. The next day. how
