The Presidents Message.

1t is fortunate for the country that
President McKinleys peculiar financia'
views, as expressed in his message,
stand no chance of being enacted into
law.-KnoXville Tribune.
Late, but frankly, Republican Pres
ident acknowledges that the Republi-
can financial legislation of the last thir-
ty-five years is unsound, unsafe and
ought to be reformed altogether.-New
York Times.
The President closes 4 remarkably
weak and meaningless message with s.
good word for the civil service laws,
which his officials just now are SO in
dustriously engaged in trying to evade.
Wheeling Register.
President McKinley's first message
to Congress will hardly go into history
as great state paper. The message
at no point, either in though, or in die
ton, rises to height to make it note
worthy.-Des Moines Leader.
The message on the whole is color
less, and we imagine it will be disap
pointing to both the friends and the
enemies of the administration. 1t says
hardly enough to please the one or tc
crafty the other.-Detroit News.
A collection of words, and not bril-
lialn ones at that. OF positive expires.
sion, of individuality, of pith and mar
row there is none. The message is
hardly warm enough to melt hole in
the snow on the Fourth of July.-Quin
cy Qll.) Herald.
He has missed a golden opportunity
for writing great and patriotic mes
sage, and has given the country instead
q tedious discourse filled with excuses
for inaction on some important sub
jects, and making tentative and indefi.
mite recommendation with regard tc
others.-Buffalo Courier.
The whole message is pitifully weak.
Abstract where it should be concrete
wavering where it should be steady
and evasive where it should be frank
cautious where it should be bold, anc
disappointing where it should be in
spiring.-Minneapolis Times.
That is highly humorous paragraph
in the Presidents message which woul6
'make our ships familiar visitors at
every commercial port Of the world
The object of the high tariff being tc
restrict commerce, what use have we
for ships in foreign ports?- Louis
Post-Dispatch.
Mediocrity apologizing for bad ra1tb
and incompetency epitOmizes the quail
ty of the Presidents message. Charac-
terized mildly, President Mckinley S
latest state paper is tissue of unsound
and vacillating policies tediously pre-
sented and feebly defended.-Kansas
City Times.
1t is less remarkable in what it says
than in what it omits to say So far
from showing aggressive qualities, it
is conservative to the verge of the COM
monplace. Not even the stock market,
alert to extract sensation from any
public event, reacts to anything the
President has to say to COngress-Bos-
ton Post.
President Mckinley seems to hays
entirely overlooked that $9,0OO,000 q
month treasury deficit. Only nine
months ago he insisted that an excess
of expenditures over receipts was 4
dangerous condition, which must be
stopped at once if confidence and pros
perity were to be restored.-Indianapo

soldiers not only at Fort Sheridan, but at
every army post in the United States. As
result Of Gen. Ayers c-der on the sub
ject, Captain Coverings offense and the
proceedings cf the court martial which
tried him will be published from one end
of the country to the other. The repri-
mand will be discussed at every garrison

i'll the habit of assembling. From this
time forward Captain Lowering will be q

only been severely reprimanded by the
commander-in-chief, but his conduct has
been ventilated more thoroughly than has
any case before brought within the juris-
diction of a military tribune.

NEW POSTAL CARDS.
Designs and Sizes Different from Those
Now in Use.

Designs and Sizes Different from Those
Now in Use.
The Postoffice Department is soon to
issue an entirely new set of postal cards,
and, incidentally, as result Of greater
economy in their manufacture, the Gov
ernment is to save at least $4,000 per
year.
The cards are to be slightly smaller
than those now in use, and, as millions
of them are issued by the department an
nually, part of the saving is attributa-
bic to this reduction in size.
There are to be three styles of cards in
the new issue. The ordinary single card,
for both domestic and internal use, is to
be 1916 by 1916 inches. and double
return card, for both domestic and inter-
national use, which is 20 be 512x61a
inches. The smaller card is an entirely
new size; the ordinary single card is to
be one-fourth Of an inch narrower than
the corresponding card now in use, and
the double reply card is also reduced q
quarter Of an inch in width.
No change whatever is to be made In
the design of either the single interna-
tional card, the double domestic or the
double international card. New designs
have been adopted for the ordinary do
mestic card and the new smaller domestic

COMPARING TARIFF BILLS.

Defenders Of the Dingley tariff rise
to the dignity of the occasion with as
sertion for lack of argument. Chair
man Dingley asserts that ''in time his
famous deficit producer will bring in
sufficient revenue to meet the expenses
of the Government, and he defantly
adds that those who criticise the tariff
do not dare to make comparisons be-
tween the first months of the Wilson
act and the first months of the present
act"
This assertion was made in the face
Of the fact that comparisons have been
made right along showing the failure
Of the Dingley bill to secure as much
revenue as the Wilson measure, which
was SO rOundly condemned by Repub-
licans.
As an example of the comparisons
which have been made, Chairman
Dingleys attention is called to the fol-
lowing figures, showing the revenue
which was secured by the two tariffs
during the initial four months of their
ration.

"Prosperity" at Fall River.

In the favored and much protected
United States, within six months after
the Introduction of the Dingley duties,
which represent the complete and final
system of protection, the wages of the
2S,O00 Fail River cotton spinners are
reduced 10 per cent, without notice and
without concern for the consequences.
AS lesson on the results of protection
the deficit in the pockets of the Fall
River cotton spinners is even more in
structive than the deficit in the rev.

In the process of purging the pension

there would be nothing to be feared by

one word of complaint, If it were in

Good Coffee Raised in Ross County
A numt er of families in ChillIcothe,

Among those who have raised crops Of

has been satisfactory. both i'll size and

From so plants Mrs. Reider has secured
enough coffee to last her nearly year,
and the other crops were in proportion.
The grains are brown and hard, and when
roasted and ground make an excellent

coffee last year state that after they had
used up their supply, they were at loss
