MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY MAKES MANY
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE LAW
MAKERS OF THE NATION.
Touches Upon the Currency Ques-
uon-Speaks OF Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Cuba
Other Matters.

President McKinley's message
to congress was read Tuesday in
both houses. Its great length
prevents its publication in the
Gazette, but the following is
liberal synopsis of it.:
Upon the threshold OF your de-
liberations you are called upon to
mourn with your countrymen the
death of Vice. President Garrett
A. Hobart, whose great soul now
rests In eternal peace. His pri-
vate life was pure and elevating,
his public career distinguished
ana stainless.
The condition of the country is
that of unusual prosperity and
good will among the people, and
maintains friendly relations with
every government of the world.
Our foreign commerce has
greatly increased in volume and
the value of our imports and ex-
ports is the largest ever known in
single year.
The secretary of the treasury
estimates the surplus of the pres
ent year at forty millions. These
conditions give confidence and
have brought gold more into gem
eral use. Customs receipts are
now almost entirely in gold.
The president recommends that
additional power be given to the
secretary of the treasury to sell
United States bonds and to en-
ploy other means that may be
deened necessary to maintain the
parity Of golo and silver. This
authc rity should include power to
sell long or short bonds. He also
renews his former recommends
ton that portion of the gold
holdings be placed in trust fund
from which greenback will be re-
deemed upon presentation.
The combinations and trusts,
which are justly provoking public
discussion, should aim the ear
ly. attention of Congress. 1t is
universally conceded that combi-
nations controlling commodities
which are necessary to the gener-
al welfare of the community by
suppressing competition, where
by prices are enhanced to the
general consumer, are obnoxious
to common law and also to the
public welfare, and something
must be done to remedy such evi
without delay. State Legislation
which was undertaken for relic
from the evils of trusts, failed t
accomplish that object, which was
due to divergent views of the
; states. Uniformity of Legislation
by the states is desired.
The president extendedly re
views relations with foreign gov,
ernments. ea

In most Of them not only wasa low ssan-

The state board Of assessment and
equalization which adjourned this
week made some radical changes in
assessment. Lands were increased
over $l6.000,o00. Personal property
of all kinds was raised above the re-
turns made by county boards. Cor
porations were also assessed higher
than heretofore. The figures are not
yet complete as to the total valua-
ton but we %apprehend it will reach
Sl6O,000.000 or Sl65,000,000. A
levy of % mills was made for state
and bond interest and 80 mills on
telegraph, telephone, express and
sleeping a companies. We give
a table containing percentage raises
of all classes except household furni-
ture and mules. These classes were
also raised. As soc as the state
auditor shall have entered the final
figures We will give the percentage
raises in each county. The board

And fain would sin again.

Like many mortal men.
"Again" when one reaeets) 'twere k;na
To rhyme as IL ''agen."

Who spoke of wind as "wined.p
And vet we use il, on the whole,
To rhyme to "fnd" and blind"
We say, "Now don't do that agen,r
When people give us pain.
In poetry, nine Zines in ten,
1t rhymes 10 "Spain" or Dane"
oh, which is wrong or which is right
Oh, which is right or wrong?
The sound in prose familiar quite
Or those we meet in song?
To hold that love can rhyme to "proysr
requires some force Of will,
Yet in the ancient lyric groove
We meet them rhyming still.
This was our learned fathers wont
In prehistoric times.
We follow il, or if we don't
We oft run short Of rhymes.
