who (nil give satisfactory proof of having
l>y their own lalsjr supported their fam
ilies for a number of years, and who are
willing to detach themselves from their
tribal relation, should not be admitted to
the benefits of tire homestead act and tbe
privileges of citizenship, audi recommend
- the passage of a law to that etfect. It will
■ be an act of justice as well as a measure of
encouragement. Earnest eti'orts are being
made to purify the Indian service so that
every dollar appropriated by congress
shall redound to ths benefit of the In
dians. Tbe efforts will have iny fli ni sup
port. With improved service and every
encouragement held out to the Indians to
belter lueir conditions and to elevate
themselves in the scale of civilization, we
may hope to do at the same time a good
work for them and for ourselves.
OOVKBSKES'T LANDS.
I invite the attention of congress to the
importance of the statements aud sug
gestions by the secretary of the interior
concerning tbe depredations being com
mitted upon the timber lands of toe U oi
led States and the necessity for tbe pre
servation of forests. It is believed that
the measures taken in pursuance of exist
ing law to arrest the depredators will be
entirely successful if congress, by an ap
propriation for that purpase, rentiers their
continued enforcement possible. The ex
perience of other nations teaches us that a
country cannot .be stripped of its forests
with Impunity, and we shall expose our
selves to tbe g'reavest consequences unless
the wasteful and imprudent manner in
which the forests in tue United States are
destroyed areeffectually checked. I earn
estly recommend that tho measures sug
gested by the secretary of the interior for
the suppression of depredations on i'llie
Jiublic timber lands of the United States,
or the selling of timber on the public
lands, and for the preservation of forests,
be embodied in a law, and that, consider
ing the urgent necessity of enabling tho
people of certain states and territories to
fiurcbase lumber from the public lands
n a legal manner, which at present ibey
cannot do, such a law be passed without
avoidable delay.
I would also call attention of congress to
tbe statements made by the seo.-etarv of
tiie interior concerniag the disposition that
might be made of the desert lauds not ir
rigated, west of the 100 th meridian. These
lands are practically unsaleable under ex
isting laws and the suggestion is worthy
of consideration, that a system of lease
hold tenure would make ti'ieui a source of
profit to the United States while at tbe
same timo legalizing tbe business t f cattle
raising, which is at present carried on
upon them.
AOBICOLTUIIE.
The report of the commissioner of agri
culture contains the gratifying announce
ment of the extraordinary sucecs., which
has rewarded the agricultural industry of
the country for the past year. With "the
fair prices which obtain for the products of
the soil, especially for the surplus which
our people have to export, we inav con
tideutly turn to this as the most important
of all our resources for the revival of the
de|»reaaed industries of the country. The
report shows our agricultural progress
during the vear ami contains a statement
of the work done by this •)< jurtm. ut for
the advancement »t agricultural industry.

THE VAKUIM.Ti.X IOMIUI.
Tti» r»'|»'rt<-f the joint eouiiiit»ioti c-reat
eil l.v tin- art at>|irovtil 2. IS7C, an
art Tor the cinii|>lrtion of the
Waahinxton nioiiuiiient, is also herewith
traiiHiiiitteil with aeeoiii|Ktnyin){ doon
ments. The board of engineers and offi
cers detailed to examine the monument in
compliance with the 2d section of the act,
have reported that the foundation is in
sufficient. No authority exisls for expend
iture necessary to secure its stability. I
therefore recommend that the commission
be authorized to expend such portion of
the sum appropriated by the uct as may be
necessary for the purposo. The present
unfinished condition of the monument,
began so long since, is a reproach to the
nation. It cannot be doubted that the
patriotic voice of the country will respond
to such prompt provision as may be made
for its completion at an early day, and I
urge upon congress the propriety anil
necessity of immediate legislation for tins
purpose'.
EDUCATIONAL MATTEBS.
The wisdom of legislation upon the part
of congress in aid 01 the state for the edu
cation ol' the whole people in those
branches of study which are taught in the
common schools of thecountry is no long
er a question. The intelligent judgment
of the country goes still lurther, regarding
ii is ulso boi.i c .istlt.itionaland expedi- j
ent for the genoral government to extend
to technical a.a higuer education such aid
as is deemed essential to the general wel
fare and to our due prominence among
the enlightened and cultured nations or
the world. The ultimate settlement of all
questions of the ruture whether of admin
istration or finance or of true nationality
of sentiment, depends upon the virtue and
intelligence of the people. It is vain to
hope for the success of a free government
without the means of insuring the intelli
gence of those who are the source of pow
tr. No less than one seventh of the vot
ing population of our country aro yet un
able to read and write. It is encouraging
to observe, iu connection with the growth
of fraternal feeling in those states in which
slavery formerly existed, evidence of in
creasing interest in universal education,
and I shall lie glad to give my approval
to any appropriate measure which may be
enacted uv congress for the purpose of
supplementing with national aid the local
systems of education in thoso states and
in all the slates. „ , ...
Having already invited your attention
to the needs of the District of Columbia
with respect to its public school system,
I here add that I believe it desirable, not
so much with reference to the local wants
of the district, but the great and lasting
benefit of the entire country that the sys
tem should be crowned with a university
in all res|iects in keeping with the national
capital, and thereby realise the cherished
hopes of Washington on this subject.
I also earnestly commend the request of
the legents of the Smithsonian Institute
that an adequate appropriation be made
for publication and conduct of a national
museum, under their snpervisiou. The
subject of providing for the preservation
ana growth of thelibraiyof congress is
also one of national importance. As the
de|M«itorv «>f copyright publications and
records o'l this library has outgrown the
provisions lor its accommodations and the
erection, as the judgment of congress
inav approve, of a fireproof library build
ing to preserve the treasury and enlarge
the usefulness of this valuable collection,
is recommended.
I recommend also such legislation as
will render available aud efficient lor the
purpaoe of instruction, so tar as is eon
