PAPERS AND MESSAGES OF THE PREsI-
DENTS

With Volume 10, just issued, ex-Congressman
Richardson completes the task assigned him by con-
gress four years ago of compiling the state papers Of
the presidents from the first to the close of the Cleve
land administration. With the assent of the joint
committee of congress printing and because of the
Importance of the into which President McXin-
ley and congress plunged the country, he has added
in the appendix the more important papers of the
latest president There thus brought into compact
and readily accessible form papers intimately con-
nected with the history of the country in it's most
critical periods, papers for which would have to
search many volumes Of the officially printed
ments. Prefacing each president is fine steel plate
engraving of him with biographical sketch.
The final volume gives to all the preceding nine
the great value of a remarkably we'll compiled index
the lack of which keenly felt during the time
when the volumes coming from the press. Not
content with limiting the index to the contents Of
the volumes, making it merely guide them, Mr.
Richardson has added encyclopedia features
that by the facility Of reference given to leading
events greatly add to the value Of the publication
For most part these additions relate to the papers,
and are supplementary to them furnishing informa-
ton about matters therein merely mentioned. To
the standard histories of country these volumes
form an almost Indispensable addition to who

No more benefcent project nor one certain Of
more beneficial results to the masses Of the people,
has been undertaken in this city for long period
OF time than that of DR.. Ohage establishment
of public bathing places.
The plans of the new undertaking as outlined BY
Dr. Ohage, present to view scheme the benefits of
which will not be confined to any class of the cfty's
people If the doctor is able to carry the undertaking
to success along the lines which he has laid down
he will have rendered an enduring service to the
city.

civilized standards of Iife-the best and the surest
tests the part which the bath plays in their daily
lives. There can be real refinement where the
path Is not found to be a primary necessary. For
six months in each year people find it safe and
healthful to have recourse to public bathing 1t Is
poor circumstance, which the less said the bet
ter that with all the facilities which nature has fur
nished for public bathing in this city and vicinity it
has been left to this stage Of our municipal exist
ence to have such a project seriously undertaken.
The youth of st. Paul it is who will most highly
appreciate the blessing of ample opportunity for safe
and pleasant baths. It will be but little while after
the baths are established until every class of our pop
ulaton resort to them with delight. The location IS
all in all, the best that could have been chosen AS
Dr. Ohage has pointed out it is above the sewer out
lets of the city 1t is central and accessible The
river bottom is sandy and the depth is uniform and
not too great Properly conducted these baths are
certain to be, they will become each evening a re-
sort as popular as public parks.
Public free baths have long been leading fea-
ture of urban life in the Eastern states They ac-
complish more for the public health and comfort
than any other public device not excepting the parks
They are found to be easily capable of srsainment
free of cost to the community and the attitude of
the people toward them is everywhere one which
makes it almost incOmprehensble how they have en-
tered to so small degree comparatively into the
plans of those who charged with looking after
the public welfare
The plans of the founder of the proposed baths In

doubt Of their successful establishment at the time
set for their appearance.

A climax has been reached in the
affairs of Santiago. The estimates for
February have been reduced from
$780, 900 to $780, 900 and amounts aggre-
eating $685. 900 expended last month hav
been disallowed by the authorities at
Havana. For the Month of March all
