The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Considered Vey Tame Affair with
out Even Literary Merit.

Washington, December 8LTbe
Presidents message submitted To-
Congress on opening day has all the
characteristic brillianeY of a market
report. 1t is a rehash of what has
been published again and again in.
the newspapers and nowhere rises
above the level of hack work. More
over, having been written by the
President himself and sent to Con-
gress in manuscript, it did not have
the benefit of revision after being in
print and in consequence is IN MANY
respects turgid, and its meaning OBJ
scure. Most of the message is de-
voted to China but nothing new is,
stated. On Finances the P PRESIDENT
says the surplus last year was over
$79,OOO,O 900 and he therefore recon-
mends that taxation be reduced bv-
$50, ,OnO,OO0, with the evident expec--
tatiOn-which is sure to be justified.
by facts-that Congress will coutriye
to spend the balance. He recon-
mends action to suppress bad trusts
but suggests that there was are Others.
not SO bad. He urges the passage of
a bill to encourage shipping but even
he cannot endorse the Hanna-Pavne
monstrOsity now pending in Congress
and therefore he avoids any sDecif-
cations as to the sort of bill that he
favOrs. He urges the adoption, of
the Hay-Pauncefote surrender, which.
If not amended will pledge the word
of the United States to permit free
passage of the canal to its enemies in
time Of war. He concludes with an
aPOstrOphe to peace, which reads
most strangely, considering the con-
dltlon of affairs in the Philippines.
The army bill has passed the
House, giving the President an army
OF $4,000, which, in his discretion. he

Work or Resign.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l

The last legislature provided for a commission to codify the laws of Ari- zona and made aa appropriation coV- ering the expense of the work; up to date this cornmission has done noth- ing but draw it's salary. One year, or half of the entire time provided for the work, has gone by, and the commis- sion has had one meeting and abso- lutely done nothing. The plea put up by the three lawyers is that they are "to0 busy" We'll, these men all wanted the position and knew when they accepted it and also when they draw their salaries every three months that they were "basy," and if they could not devote time to the work they should not have acce pted the place. The Gazette knows whereof it speaks when we say that nothing, practically, has been done by this commission, but the time and the salaries move along, and soon the legislature will be in ses- sion and these men who found time to draw territorial salaries and attend to private business only, will be asking for further time in which to complete the work. Chalmers is in Mexico try ing to do something in the Cobre Grande matter; Charley Wright is in Los Angeles, and John c. Herndon is in Prescott attending to his law busi- ness. Now there you are, and take your choice. The Gazette is friendly to all these men, but we do say that they one and all have shamefully neg lected the duty assigned to them by CsVerncr Murphy and the leg islature of Arizona.

 Mrs. A. Kinney returned on Tuesday from a weeks visit to the Bryan group of mines, situated on the Gila river opposite the town of Kelvin. She found work we'll advanced and the mines much. improved since her last visit. James McCarty has force of men employed at present erecting 8 whim over the sulphide shaft. This opening has reached depth of more than 1O0feet, and will be.sunk another hundred. Over 100, tons of ore have been sorted and sacked. A new strike of nnch importantce was made recent ly near the. south end of claim, No. 3, where shaft was started on seam of ore which at depth of seven feet has widened to the full width. of the shaft. The ledge carries an eight ineh pay streak of glance and carbonate ore running high in copper and carry ing some silver. Work has been rec tarded owing to @ lack of timber, a supply of which. has been ordered, and with the completion of the whim de- ve,opment will proceed more zapidly. The Bryan mines are conceded to be among the most promising properties in the district.

stII More counterfeitina.

The Secret Service has nnearthed an- other band of fcounterfeiters and secured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the aver age person would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counter feiters for imitation, notably the cele- brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con stipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counter feits when buying.
