The Presidents message to the fifty
sixth Congress should be carefully
read and considered by all classes.
This message is plain and frank
statement of the affairs of the nation
and of the great events which have
recently transpired in the history OF
the country. The manner in which he
handles the currency question will be
encouraging to all who are trying 10
strengthen the gold standard; he urges
upon congress the necessity of imme-
date action tending to the encourage
ment of a merchant marine, stating
that "our national development will
be one sided and unsatisfactory SO
long as the remarkable growth Of our
inland industries remains unaccom'
panied by progress on the seas" He
dwells at some lengths on the question
of the trusts and recommends that
Congress consider the matter. Con-
siderable space is taken in considering
our relation with Cuba and our new
a very clear statement OF
affairs being made.

The first session of the senate of

briefer than that OF the house, and
from a spectators point of view, much
less interesting. Senator Frye, pres

to order, and after prayer by the
Chaplain, and the swearing in OF new
senators, the death of the late Vice
President was announced, and a mo.
