THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

When will it cease to be the cast iron
custom of the Presidents of the United
States to kill all the space they can
in their messages to Congress? Pres
tdont Cleveland on one or two occas-
ions made an effort to break this GUS
tom, but even that original executive
with the great backbone only half sue
ceeded.
The newspapers might help along
this much needed reform, or at least
render the custom innocuous to the
general public by declining to pub
lish matter of dreary routine that
none but the proof readers peruse
Mr. McKinley's message is unusually
long and tedious even for the number
I OF important matters awaiting the at
Mention of Congress at this session.
The Register this morning publishes
every item in the message of any in
terest and two or three times as much
as the importance of the matter really
deserves, for the President as usual is
Enthusiastically tentative, timid and
hating and chary of saying anything
that means something His message
for the most part is decidedly com
monplace document, made I'D chiefly
\ from the department reports and lack
Ing in originality. 1t is one Of those
dreary wastes of words which drives
the members of the Senate and House
into the arms of Morpheus or to the
cloak rooms or the seductive seclusion
of the restaurant, the clerks of the
two Houses of Congress being probably
the only persons in Washington out
side of the White House and the gov
eminent printing Office who read the
lengthy document.
The long-message habit places the
executive at decided disadvantage. If
he have important recommendations
to make they are drowned in a sea of
uninteresting routine matter and are
not given the close attention and care
full consideration by members of Con-
gress that they deserve. Of course on
the other hand, the -winded mes
sage has its advantages for the weak
knecd executive, such as Mr.. Mckinley,

situations? Was it not, rather, pari
and parcel of the imperial scheme IN
folded Immediately after the fall Of
Manila, when the American troops
after entering the city turned upon
their former allies, the Filipinos, and
with fixed bayonets prevented them
also from entering the gates?
But these facts, which are all mat
tiers of record, were comfortably ig-
nored by Mr.. Mckinley, who now bold
ly declares that the rebellion" must
be put down.
The rest he leaves to Congress with
out specific recommendation, for Mr.
Mckinley will not accept responsibility
when he can help it. Hence, Congress
not the President, will be responsible
for the imperial scheme, which, never
theless, Congress must now adopt or
reverse the whole policy of the admin
istration in the Philippines and undo
all that has been done. Thus does Mr.
Mckinley firmly saddle imperialism on
the country, but the responsibility on
Congress- of course, this virtuous
administration did nought but uphold
sacred treaty rights, ETC., ETC., ad
nauseam, although it is fact that the
imperial scheme was laid and Matched
prior to the treaty and insisted on by
the administration in the construction
Of that instrument.

dent can do no wrong-not If it can be

a very decided increase in value of real

property was purchased a little over a

$4,000, a very satisfactory advance.

THE E|GHT-HOUR law
Goes Into Effect in Colorado
Next Month.
WATCHED WITH INTEREST
Some of the Mine Owners Do Not Con-
ceal Their Opposition-Trouble Is
Expected Governor VIII
Support the Miners.

There is considerable interest in Butte
and other mining centers of the North
west manifested in the probable out
come of the eight-hour law, which is
scheduled to go into effect in Colorado
next month. Some Of the mine owners
do not attempt to conceal their opposi-
Iion to the law, claiming in advance
that they are singled out to lose by the
operation. The Denver News, in sum
mary of the general expression from
the state at large says locally:
Mine owners and mine managers of
different parts of Colorado make no eff
fort, when talking with their friends,
to conceal their sentiments as to the
effect of the eight -hour law which is to
go into effect next month in this state
The mine owners claim that it will be
impossible to pay present wages to men
working on nine to 11-hour basis,
when the work of the same men is to be
restricted to eight hours. Smelter men
declare they cannot make any further
reduction in charges on low grade ores.
Conferences have been in progress
quietly in the city for several days, but
no satisfactory solution Of the vexe6
question has been reached. Every train
arriving in the city from the large min
ing camps where low grade ores are be-
ing extensively mined brings new &C.
cessions to the councils and outsiders
| will not be surprised if union is form
ed among owners of large mining inter-
ests to stand together in case any dis
turbance arises when the law goes into
effect.
1T is intimated that many Of the
properties must necessarily be closed
down IL the men insist on 10 hours pay
for eight hours work.
Zone of the troubles which is worry
ing mine owners having low grade prop
| critics is the position of the governor. AS
| he signed the bill after being urged not
| to do SO by the mine owners, it is pro-
| phesied he will support the miners in
| their claims, and the latter, knowing
this, may be more eXacting than ever
| before in their demands Such is the
| position taken by some of the mine
| owners and by men who are in sympa-
| thy with them. This worries the big
mine owners. for if the governor is
against them, they have no resource in
| the federal authorities and such an APP
peal might lead to endless woes.
Another subject which is attracting
active argument is whether the law APP
plies to reduction works. In the Aspen
district the men working in the mills
| do so upon an 11-hour basis. If the
days work is ito be reduced to eight
| hours and the wages in proportion, then
it is urged the men will not make money
enough to support their families. Lead
vile miners are working on a basis Of

RosenthaI, n Musical Hero.

A perfect pianist-"a musical hero"
describes Rosenthal. and yet the phrase
has a properly discreet and modest
ring. To the alertness of legerdemain
and the strength of a blacksmith he
adds the refinement of a woman and
the sincerity of faithful and humble
apostle of art. From this extreme
measure, Of praise it seems hardly
worth while to abstract anything now,
since facts prove that Rosenthal has
worked at his art and his instrument
with the ferocity of a tiger and the in
dustry of a beaver during the past
eight years, in consequences of which
the piano, hard beast to subdue--has
learned to know his master, trembles
in his clutch. roars at his command or
emits the feeblest. humblest pianissimos
at his caressing touch. His interpreta-
lions speak of the present-of fulfill
ment, of promises-of realization, not
of regret. He is a player of the ''now,'
but great splendid, useful and bene-
ficent as the present moment always is
to us mortals. Rosenthal will give but
one recital in Butte, next Monday even
