THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

There are two things about the Presidents message which are bound to attract attention. One is It's extra ordinary length, exceeding in number of words any similar document in re- cent years. The other is that in all that "exuberance of verbosity" you will look in vain for word of comfort to those who desire some reform in present tariff laws. It was predicted last year that he would make the stand patters quake in their shoes, but when the message came there was sug- gestion that the tariff might form the subject of a later messaEe-that, and nothing more.
 The message discusses almost every thing in which we, as a people, have direct interest," and has something to say of matters in which we are very remotely, if at all, interested. This could not we'll be otherwise in a paper prepafed by the President, whose in- stincts lead him to take hand in every thing that is going on. Of course. he has much to say of many fiatters of vital importance. but there Is so much written that it is difficult to separate the valuable from from which is quite the contrary.
 He has furnished for those who will take tho time to read 1t. his ideas about the labor situation, Federal supervision of insurance: the desirability of a max imum and minimum tariff rate as the means for reciprocity between the United States and other countries; business methods in the various depart ments; bribery and corruption in Fed eraI elections; the big stick policy in connection with the Monroe doc-
 Urine, and a great many other matters. | He devotes more space to the subject of else, and if he can have it so, this Con-
 gress will make some vital changes in present interstate commerce avs He does not indicate the exact form of a law he would have, but no doubt his wishes in that regard will, be made
 known to those who will have the l measure in charge.
 There is nothing sectional in the | message. It was written for every portion of the country, but we cannot refrain from saying that there is much in 1t, which looks to securing Q har- his pet measures become laws, he " III

A rosTTTyE SsTroNoMER.

Professor Percival Lowell. who has devoted much time with the finest of instruments aud under the most fla vorable circumstances, to the study of Mars, now declares that he can say nothing less than that Mars is inhab- tied by highly intelligent individuals. since they seom to haze remade their own sphere to accord with the changes of climate and season"
 So far as we now call to mind. he is the first eminent astronomer to make positive declaration on this subject. When an Italian astronomer a genera tion or more ago, declared that he had been able to discover streaks or mark ings on the planet, his language was misunderstood or mistranslated and the idea was promulgated that he had To- cated canals" on Mars. Since then the same streak or lines have been noted by other observers, but none of them before Loweli has siven such posi-. tive opinion or ststement that these canals are artificial and must be the work of intelligent beings.
 Even # we admit the correctness of the Professors deductions, 1t doesn't give much help towards individuaIiz-

THEY NEED HORsEs.

In trade. as in most other matters. there are compensations and balances, and what may be a loss In one place is evened up in another. The great ad- vance in the deyelopement of electric and other powers. and the increased de- mand for mechanical in place of anil nal power has le1 to the belief that the demand for horses will continue to decrease and that raising them will cease to be profitable.
 That this would be a natural result is probably true. but just here comes in large and profitable market for American horses in Japan. The Ja- panese horses are greatly inferior to ours. and it was stated at the time of the late war with Eeussia that the small size and general inferiority of their horses was serious handicap to the operations of the Japanese cavalry. It Is also stated that large percentage of their horses were sacrificed during the progress of hostilities, and both these causes operate to the advantage of Americans. The Japanese people and Government are progressive and ambitious. They realize the inferior fly of their horses, and they know that even such as they have arc totally in- sufficient to supply the needs of tho country.
 These conditions arc working to- gether in the interest of American breeders. It is given out on the strength of official reports that the de- mand is not only large, but that it will require years to fill it. It is not sud den emergency to be supplied at once, but large and increasing de- mand which our breeders will do well to note and prepare themselves to sup ply Good horses, both for work and for army uses, are likely to bring good prices over there, and thus breeders In the United States may find compensa- tion for any falling of in the demand at home.
