THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We devote six columns of space to the
annual message of President McKiu-
ley. We ask all to read this great doc
ument as it contains much, not onlv of
the history of the United States. but of
the world of which the United States
forms now so large part The presi-
dents message is the first step to-
word the fullfillment of the pledges
made by the republican party during
the last campaign. We ask our read
ers to note carefully what the presi-
dent has to say and what he recon-
mends to congress; we would call the
attention of our democratic friends to
the fact that it is frank and manly
message, firmly patriotic and squarely
republican. The republican party
means to carry out all its promises to
the best of it's ability. The people
will therefore have four years more
in which to judge of the value Of re-
publicrn legislation in creating and
maintaining an era of good times; the
republican party must OF course stand
by its record, and we are glad that
there is to be no lodging nor Sinking
of responsibility Fair minded men
should be willing to Judge the repubii-
can party by its acts, and if it does
( we'll, they shouil be willing to forget
their former partisanship and unite in
supporting it.

We find that in the event of Judge
Corners right to seat in congress be-
ing successfully contested, and special
election being made necessary, the Gov
ernor can call special election, giving
ten days notice, in this way Judge Con-
ner would be reelected and be ready to
take his seat by the first of January.
We sincerely hope that no special cleo
ton will be necessary.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

A contest will be held this year in
accordance with the custom Of two
years previous. The preliminary will
perhaps be held about the last of Jam

outsiders an idea of the literary work
accomplished by our high school pu-
pills but it also benefits those who enter
to an inestimable degree. And there
is no doubt but that the pupils will en-
ter the coming contest with as much
zeal as they have done hitherto.
