THE FANCY WORK MAIDEN.
An' to you kinder wanter know, w'y I broke off
with SalT
It war'nt because nhe war'nt a good an' mighty
purty gal;
For there ain't a blessed star In heaven chines
brighter than her eyes,
An' her cheeka are jest like peaches on the
a. trees er Paradise I
An' her smile is like the sunshine split upon a
flower bed,
An' her hair like sprootin' sunbeams, on the
garding of her head.
An' her laff la like a singin' brook that bubbles
as It passes
Thro' the stuck-up tiger lilies, an' the purty
smellin' grasses.
An' I told her that I loved her, much as forty
times a day,
But she hadn't much time to bother, an' kept
on with her crowihay.
Wen I plumped right down afore her, plumb
upon my very knees.
She said: "CJit off my ric-rac, on' you're rump-
lin' up my frieze."
An'
1 1 tried to talk of love, an' things, an'
told
her I would die.
Unless she smiled upon my soot. She simply
said: "Oh, my!
You've tore my purty tidy down, an' hain't ye
got no eyes?
You've planted them big feet o' yourn, on them
ar tapestries I"
Au' she wove In big flamingoes, snipes, an'tur-
keys on her rugs.
An' she painted yaller poodles on her mother's
'lasses lues.
An' she painted purple angels on majenta col
ored plaques.
An' five orange-colored cherubs, with blue
wings behind their backs.
An' w'en I talked of love an' stuff, she'd talk of
rugs an laon.
An' ax me would I take my feet off from the
Chlny vase.
I'd say : "My heart's love, O, be mine ! be mine !
be wholly mine '."
She'd say: You've got your elbows mixed In
that silk skein cr twine."
Now I'm goin' to Arizony for to do a cowboys'
work.
Driven forth from civil'zation by the cuss er
fancy work.
But her smile will alius hant me, af.us in my
visions play.

HER HOME-COMING.
How the Boys Mado It Bright and
Happy.
If Mamma Vance could hare looked
in then, she would have been undoubt
edly astonished. Sadie sat on the
Creat rolling head of the lounge, pound
ing a pillow with emphasis as she spoke.
Tho four boys were grouped variously
about her, their cheeks rather red,
their eyes rather bright, their heads
thrown back indignantly. When tho
long-suffei ing pillow had received its
final thump, and Sadie, her white little
feet sunk in its softness, had drawn
herself up tropically to her full height,
Kugeno asked hotly: "Whatever has
put that nonsense into your head,
Sadie?"
"It's preposterousr' Jack stormed.
Warm hearted littlo Fritz was in
tears. 'Ith a lie!" ho wailed.
Stanford said not a word, but his
Hnrry tread up and down tho room
fcpoko volumes for him.
"Nonsense, I say!" Eugene repeated.
angrily. "Who dared say so? Slight
mother! Why, Sadie Adams, there isn't
a. mother in tho world like ours. We'd
'do any thing on earth for her. I
speak for tho crowd."
"IIo thpeakth for me," cried Fritz
again.
"Do, you supposo we'd mope around
here and actually lose our appetite for
tho take of tho mother bird, if we
didn't lovo and care for her?" Jack d
IlllUiilrti.
"1 jutht love ginger-bread," this
from Frit., "and latht night I thimply
couldn't endure it."
"Oh, let tip on tho ginger-bread."
Stanford cried. Ills tramp was not
conquering tho irritation ho felt,
"i-iook hero, Sadie, I demand, as does
Kugeno, your reason for this this ac
cusation!" Tho tramp had como to a
halt. "Wo slight Marmee and make
her unhappy! Who has dared hint it?
Who has given you so ridiculous an
idea?"
Sadie's severe littlo face relaxed.
Sho was tho stern accuser no longer.
"15oys shako hands," sho said; "two
at a time, please. I knew it couldn't
be truo, but I had to satisfy my mind
about it."
"Well, just supposo you satisfy our
minds!" Sanford snapped. He didn't
look any too willing to
overtures.
"Oh!" Sadio exclaimed,
accept her
a moment-
nry flush on her fair face.
"Your authority, please," Jack said,
loftily. Ho had an idea that he had
read some such lofty demand in his
history some place. "Your author
ity!" "Auntio Vance," Sadio answered,
demurely.
Tho boys started its though they had
received an argumentative knock
down simultaneously.
"Tho mater!"
Marmee!"
"The mompsy!"
T.ea wbith!"
Sadie, still demure, nodded a com
prehensive "That's what I said" to tho
four.
"Oh, como, now, Sadie! This is ono
of your tricks."
"Yon can't make game of us. Cousin
Sadio; wo know you too well."
For answer Sadio drew from her
pocket a much crumpled letter, and
stepped with it across to the bright
lamp-light of tho library tablo. "Html
that," sho said, pointing out a portion
of tho writing, so familiar to the four
bovs "It wan one 01 mo iasi letters
she wrote mo before I came home."
And this was what the boys read:
"Wo have decided to take our trip,
Sadie, your uncle and I. It will be our
first together in our wedded life, and
I know it will do us both pood. I
have been feeling urea ami worn
lately. When tho boys were little fel
lows, though they took up all my timo
end thought, I never felt it. lhey
rere so grateful and loving that it was
real Pleasure to feel myself their daily
necessity, their friend and helper- It
is so different now, Sadio. They are
pood boys, generous and high-principled,
and yet many a time I choke
with tears to feel that the entire love
they cave me once is mine no longer
I am afraid they have outgrown mo in
a. way, as they have outgrown their
VnfA-trousers and their childish de-
pendenco upon roe. When they were
little lads. I truly think they could not
have 6lept without their good-night
kisses to me. while now but I shall
only hurt your kind little heart with
this sort of letter. Of course they love
mo. Sadie, they must! And it is
only natural, I suppose, for boys,
as they grow up, to loso their loving
little wars. They are not like fills.
If I had a daughter, it might be differ
ent perhaps; but mother love is
strong, and I foel fairly starved sonr
timos; even littlo Iritz forgets to
snuggle up to mamma's knee as he
once did, and to pat her tired old
hands. It has mado me feel like a
machine, though the duties I once had
were heavy compared with the slight
demand upon my time now."
Then followed details as to the ar
rangements of the trip, the friend who
had volunteered to keep houso, and
expressions of gladness that Sadie, too,
would bo home, to brighten thing9 up
for the dear big boys.
The dear big boys had grown rather
misty about tho eyes. Sadie suddenly
refolded up tho letter and caught up
her hat. "There's Lou at the gate.
Good-bye, boys. Forgive me being
entirely frank with you. I'll see you
again about this business."
When sho had gone the boys were
singularly silent. "You will oblige
me. Jack, if you'll fall on mo and
break all my bones!" Stanford said
slowly. Jack was "the biggest of tho
01 r nmonp tho bova ana weipneu a
hundred and forty.
"I could crawl through a knot-holo."
he replied.
"No you couldn't," Eugene said, and
though it was a favorite joke, nobody
smiled.
Fritz, with his eleven rears, his
dimple and his"lithp" hail disappeared.
inero was hot ginger-bread again
when tho tea-bell ranp, and it seemed
to him loss endurable than before
"What was tho matter with tho
boys?" Mrs Reman asked her hus
band that night.
"It's never worth while to study tho
motives of tho boy, my dear. The
goat, tho spider, the kangaroo, are all
laid down in natural history, but the
boy" and he wiped his hands with a
gesture full of meaning.
It is on my mind, I don't care,"
Mrs. Reman reiterated. Whenever
she didn't care, sho was taking things
seriously. "I promised their good
mother that I'd see to those boys the
house was a minor matter in fact.
must investigate the trouble to-mor
row, for trouble there is, I am sure
They hadn't even appetites. Think
what an anomaly, a boy without an
appetite! Mrs. Vance said hot ginger
bread would comfort them in any dis
tress. Why, Arthur," and tho little
lady looked quite despairing, "only
one of them touched it, Stanford, and
he choked and left the table."
Trouble indeed! The boys pretended
to sleep at once that night. They had
nothing: to sav to each other. Each
supposed the others asleep. Each
tried to lie very quiet and each groaned
at tho thought that the dear patient
mother had been deeply hurt at their
treatment of her, when they would
have resented the slightest annoyance
caused her by any other. Love her!
Each groaned harder at the reflection
that his own conduct was to blame for
her doubt of it. Suddenly there was a
stir in the far corner. Fritz had
bounced out of bed and down upon his
knees. There was a dim light in tho
room. Three boys might have been
discerned raised upon their elbows,
staring. Fritz athia prayers a second
time!
"Shows his good sense," said Stan
ford, in a subdued whisper to Eugene,
with whom ho slept.
"Well, I've had that out," said Eu
gene. "Did some good, too. No mat
ter how dull my head is, as sure as I
get to my knees, tho Lord sends me
some spick and span idea. I'm going
to sleep now. I'll divulge the plan to
morrow." Sadie came again next day.
"I've an ideuV Eugene exclaimed.
with some force.
'Dew tell!" and Sadie laughed, mer
rily. "Not all by yourself, Eugene?"
Well, no, not all by myself," and
Eugeno looked wisely at Standford.
It came from our best Friend last
night. Let mo tell you, Sadie, wo are
going to do an old German trick to begin
our new conduct toward mamma. We
aro going to give her a real littlo
demonstration as a welcome homo. I
remember tho time she got back from
that district mission convention and
we were all playing ball on tho lot,
and didn't even come in to see her till
tea time. It wasn't because we didn't
love her; it was "
"Recauso we were blind fools,"
Stanford interrupted.
"Rut hero's a point, boys," Sadie
said, suddenly. "Auntie musn't know
that I have had any hand in this sight-to-the-blind
business. I'm not going
even to hint .any help to you about your
welcome to her. Sho must not sus
poet mo. It must bo all your own per
forming, straight from your own
hearts!" With that she marched off
down tho gravel path to tho gate.
"Of course!" shouted four boys after
her.
"Wearent going to have mamma
thinking we have poeded lessons on
how to love her. lrust us to do it
alone," and Jack tossed his head in
concert with three other heads.
It was the sweetest time of the year
in Vernon, but October days were com
ing on ana the flowers were growing
scarce. "Flowers we must have!" the
boys had said, and Fritz hung over tho
lato roses, tho sweet Alyssum and
Chrysanthemums, as though his fond
est hopes lay in their blooms.
Eugene, who had graduated and was
at work on a salary, was keeping some
very bright dollars up in his collar
box for a very bright purpose
Jack and Stanford still in school
decided upon cue thing they
could do, at least. They could earn
money after school hours, and between
them hire old Aunt Dinah to make a
great cake, with "Welcome on it m
chocolate frosting.
"I've thought of something new,
Jack exclaimed, rushing in, quite
breathless, one evening. "You know
how mamma has admired Mrs. Green's
dress window seats. I mean to rig
one up and have it all ready for her
when she gets back."
"I hat conies in the line or my
plans," Eugene appended, with eager
ness. "I meant to get her one of those
pretty low sewing tables, with a chair
to suit. We will fix her room up Jim-
dandy!"
"What can be the matter with those
boys?" Mrs. Reman said again. "Jack,
whom I've always thought rather fat
and lazy, is working like a beaver on
a long window-seat upstairs, in which
his mother may lay her dresses at full
length without ( rumpling them. He
has sisked me a dozen questions about
the best kind of padding for the top of
it, and tho prettiest color to cover it
with 'something warm and bright,
for that's what the mater likes. I
never saw such boys!"
She repeated that statement on the
night when the telegram came saying,
"Re h.-me on the 3:30 train to-morrow."
The boys were quite wild all the fol- I
lowing day. How they did work! (
Over the doorway within the poroh I
there grew under their swift fingers a
great green arch with Mamma Vance's I
initials in chrysanthemums on it. The
roses and sweet alyssum went into
vases for the tea-table, the library and
mamma s bed-room.
"What a knack you have, Fritz,"
Mrs. Reman said, in surprise, for the
flowers wero beautifully arranged,
and Fritz, his black eyes shining, was
putting his very soul into his loving
finger-tips. He had emptied his small
bank to buy, for the returning mother,
two of the loveliest winter roses the
florist's hot-house held. These, their
pots decked in green, occupied places
of honor beside the great cake on the
tea-table, and the Bon Silene bore
amid its graceful leaves a card on
which in Fritz's bold writing wero
seen the words: "Sweets to the sweet,
from your loving Fritz."
It was a chilly night though the day
had been clear. There were soft-sput
tering fires throwing up their merry
flames in the gaily-decked library and
the mother's pretty room. Just at
five, Jack and Eugene were taking
their last looks there.
"How she will like that window
seat. It is pretty, if I do say it. How
the firelight brightens it up!"
"How lovely the roses look!"
'How shiny llio polished table is!"
"Doesn't the chair seem easy?"
And then with a final touch of care
ful boyish hands here and there, they
joined Fritz and Stanford at the gate.
"It's like tho story of the Prodigal
son, only he stayed at home in this
case, and there wero four of him,"
Jack said, a little huskily.
"I'll tell you this, boys," Eaid Eu
gene, stoutly, "I've been thinking
about this thing, and either thinking
or praying has brought mo more
new ideas. I don't believe any fel
low ever gets too big to love
his mother, and I don't believe, if he's
an honest, manly fellow, that it's go
ing to take away from his manliness
ono whit to show that he loes her.
Bless her heart! Three cheers for the
mater. 'Rah, 'rah 'rah!"
The ring of the cheery hurrahs
sounded over the frosty air and reached
the hack around the corner. There
was a hard little pain at Mamma
Vance's heart. "They are playing
ball again," she thought. "They've
forgotten we are coming." And then
of a sudden they had reached the gate,
and four bright-eyed boys were hug
ging her, and patting her gray hair us
they did when they were the very lit
tlest fellows.
"We've been as dull as owls with
out you, you darling," Stanford said,
taking the smaller valises, while
Eugene offered her his arm grandly.
Fritz and Jack could only help
Mr. Vance with the shawl-straps
and tho big valise, and prance like
girl down tho path behind "the moth-er-b!r"il,
waiting to soo her surprise
and delight over the arch, the wel
come, the flowers, and the general
festivity of the dear old home.
Next day when Sadio happened to
drop in, sho started in amazement.
untie Vance! You are looking ten
years younger, i tuinic you uiu need
a trip!"
'It wasn't the trip, Sadie; it was
the boys. You remember what I wrote
you? Irjjvas all my silly imagination.
They do love me! They were so glad
to see me! Sit down, dear, and let me
tell you all about it; and as pretty
Sadio dropped down upon tho dainty
window-seat, she couldn't help saying
with her glad little laugh, "I told y,u
so, Auntio, I told you so!" Maudt

A RARE
CURIOSITY.
Iteniiirkal)
Specimen of Coral From tlie
I'liilipjiino Island.
Judge E. W. Knott, deputy superin
tendent of the State Insurance Depart
ment, received recently from Alexander
II. Webb, United States Consul at Ma
nila, Philippine Islands, a curiosity
that is exceedingly rare; a coral for
mation found only in the Philippine
Archipelago, and is known to the na
tives as "llower baskets," though why
such an appellation should be con
ferred on it is not quite clear. It is
quite different from any coral that has
ever been seen by those who have been
fortunate enough to view the speci
men which the Judge values so highly.
The specimen is conical in shape, hav
ing a base of nearly two inches in di
ameter and rises to a height of about
eight inches, growing smaller towards
its top, where it ends in a tolerably
sharp point. The base was formed on
a smooth ledge of rock, and the archi
tects of its construction had begun by
laying cross sections of a formation re
sembling finest spun glass. These are
laid very carefully and evenly across
both ways, and are seemingly inter
laced and plaited with similar forma
tionsthey could hardly be called fibers,
running from top to bottom of this
novel lilliputian castle. The work
rises in most beautiful shape, growing
gradually smaller, until within about
three inches of the apex, when evi
dently tho builders found on their
hands more of the longitudinal laces
than were needed in their work, and
they were dropped out as the work
progressed, and stand about the toy,
forming a sort of tuft around the
whole.
These lacings extend about one inch
above the top, and contrary to usual
formation of coral, they are pliable
and when bent assume an upright
position on being released.
It would no impossible lor ma
chine work or the work of humnn
hands to keep up the symmetry better
than these minute anlmalcuUe have
done. Tho work resembles the finest
lace, the cross bars fashioned as beau
tifully as possible. In looking through
the cross bars one can see the remains
of some small marine animal, probably
a crawfish, as a tiny claw or feeler.
similar to the ones such animals are
Adorned with, is plainly discernible.
The coral is a pure white and forms a
most beautiful ornament, not a spot or
blemish on any portion of it. t.

NOTES ON FEEDING.
A Discussion of the Proper Way of Develop
ingr l'oang Animals.
There is less over-feeding than under-feeding
done, but, unfortunately,
the over-fed animals are the very ones
which ought to be fed with the most
wisdom. I live in the Miami Valley,
where the Poland China hog origi
nated, and have been for many years
surrounded by farmers who raised pigs
expressly for shipping as breeding
stock and to show at the fairs. More
than one thousand pigs a year were
for many years shipped from this sta
tion alone, and the number sent out
annually from two or three countiea
would amount to many thousands.
Nine out of ten of these pigs were fat
enough for the butcher and fattened
wholly on corn. Because a part of the
shippers did this the others (even
those who knew it was unwise) said
they must do the same. The buyers
were partly to blame, for they wanted
the pigs they had paid a high price for
and had shipped a long distance, to
look so well that their neighbors would
be impressed with their beauty. It
suited the shippers exactly, for fat
would cover up defects in form, and so
it came to be the practice to fatten
hogs on corn before shipping them.
As a result, three-fourths of the men
who were engaged in this business
have lost their hogs from cholera and
abandoned it. Another notable exam
ple of the folly of over-feeding is found
in short-horn cattle. The beef ele
ment has been developed in this stock
so that for early maturity and econ
omy of flesh production the breed has
never been surpassed and rarely
equaled, but breeders have in feeding
their breeding stock carried this to ex
cess, and among the show herds there
has been so many barren animals that it
has become a custom to warrant the
animal to "be a breeder" when it is
sold. Any one who has attended the
fairs and seen the show herds padded
with fat knows that these animals
have been fattened expressly to show,
and thoughtful, intelligent men ought
to know that of all stock in the world
breeders ought to be fed for the de
velopment of bone and muscle rather
than fat. It is a truth which can not
be impressed too strongly on the
minds of farmers that young growing
animals and breeding animals and
breeding stock should never be fed for
fat, but always for bone and muscle.
I have seen many valuable young jou
rnals injured by excessive corn-feed-in,
f-.
Now, I do not want any of the read
ers to jump to the conclusion that 1
am not in favor of liberal feeding, for
I am and practice it always, but I
know that many farmers are losing
money by injudicious feeding. The
margin of profit in farming is small
in these days of low prices, and we
need to act intelligently in all that we
do and should be able to give a reason
for every act we perform. It is not
the man who feeds the most grain
who has the most profitable stock, but
the one who adapts the food to tho
purpose desired to be attained and
who by system and regularity keeps
his stock in the best condition. There
is food enough wasted by unscientific
feeding on many farms to make the
owners comparatively rich in a score
of years, if they were wise enough to
save it. Waldo T. Brown, in Philadel
phia Press.
THE ROUTINE WAY.
Small Kssentials That Are Very Necessary
to Home Comfort.
It ia very easy to take care of the
picturesque part of housework to ar
range tho flowers and the pictures in
the parlor and the china in the dining
room and the bright tins in the kitch
en. Rut it is a vastly more laborious
matter to attend to the daily routine of
the household in those matters that
do not appeal to the taste or the im
agination to watch servants, and yet
not appear to watch them, or to guard
against tho sources of contamination
and uncleanliness which are forever
cropping up oven in the most carefully
cared for household. The secret of
perfect housekeeping lies chiefly in
routine and system, and they mean
drudgery. It has been said of old
that new civilizations are less governed
by routine methods than old estab
lished nations. Law and orifcr in
pioneer colonies aro apt to be under
mob sway, and from the housekeeping
of a government tho family house
keeping takes its pattern. As a rule,
American households are hardly yet
amenable to the strict routine system
of the British household. This is due
in part to the servant question, but
again, the difficulties of the servant
question in this country are due to the
want of system in the matter of refer
ences, given and received. For th
comfort of every individual in th
household, it is necessary that th
hours of rising and for meals should
be regular. It is one of the
small essentials very necessary
to universal comfort. Servants
should have their certain duties to
perform at certain hours, and should
be made to understand that they should
be performed at the time given and
not at another time. The washing
should have its set day as is the com
mon rule, and the ironing should be
done and folded by a certain time in
the week, making allowance in the
time given for delays caused by stormy
weather so that no excuse of storms or
other hindrance should set it back be
yond the limit given. This can easily
be done. Two regular baking days
should be set apart in the week, as
also regular sweeping days and days
for cleaning windows and brushing
blinds, and for scrubbing kitchen clos
ets and floors and cellar. Housekeep
ers should arrange that the table is
cleared and the dining-room dusted
after each meal and before a certain
hour. If it is clearly understood by
the maid of all work or the kitchen
maid that the dining-room must be
swept, cleared and dusted before nine
o'clock in the morning, she will easily
drift into this order and hardly realize
that sho is working under routine. An
immense trmount of work is lost by a
servant's flying from one object to an
other or beginning one piece of work
before another is accomplished
Thorough system will abolish this and
servants themselves will early find
that they have more leisure on their
hands by doing their work in an orderly
manner. As a rule, in families where
such a system is instituted, servants
remain a longer time and in greater
content than in an easy-going house
hold where matteis slide in a slipshod
way.- JV. T. Tribune.

THE MESSAGE.

existing subject of dispute between the United
States and any foreign power that is not sus
ceptible of satisfactory adjustment by fraolt
d'ploraatic treatment. The questions between
Great Britain and the United States relating to
the rights ot American fishermen under treaty
and international comity in the territorial
watets of Canada and Newfoundland, I regret
to say, are not yet satisfactorily adjusted.
These matters were fully treated in my mes
sage to the Senate of February 20, l$8T,whioh, to
gether with a convention concluded under my
authority with Her Majesty's Government on the
lota of February last, for the removal of ail
causes of misunderstanding, was submitted by
me for the approval of the Senate. This treaty
having been rejected by the Senate, I trans
mitted a mecsage to the Congress on
the 23d of August last, reviewing the
transactions and submitting tor considera
tion certain recommendations for leg
islation oonoerning the important questions
involved. Afterwards, on the 12th ot Septem
ber, in response to a resolution of the Senate,
1 again communicated fully all the informa
tion in my possession as to the action of the
government of Canada affecting the commer
cial relations between the Dominion and the
United States, including the treatment of
American fishing vessels in the ports and
waters of British America. The communica
tions have all been published, and therefore
opened to the knowledge of both Houses
of Congress, nrthough two were addressed
to the Senate alone. Comment upon
or repetition of their contents would be super
fluous, and I am not aware that any thing has
since occurred which should be added to the
facts therein stated. Therefore, I merely re
peat, as applicable to the present time, the
ttutrraest h will be found in my message
to Vhe Senate of September Vi last: "That
sinse March 3, 1S37. no cuse has been reported
to the Department of State wherein complaint
has been made of unfriendly or unlawful
treatment of American vessels on the part
of the Canadian authorities, in which repara
tion was not promptly and satisfactorily ob
tained by the Tjnited States Consul-Gent ral at
Halifax.1'. H iving essayed lu the discharge of
my duty to procure by negotiation the settle
ment of a 3ong-standing cause of dispute, and
to remove a constant menace to the good rela
tions of the two countries, and continuing to
hold the opinion that the treaty of February
last, which failed to receive the approval of
the Senate, did supply "a satisfactory, prac
tical and final adjustment on a basis honorable
and just to both parties of the difiltrult and
vexed question to which it related,"' and hav
ing subsequently and unavailingly recommend
ed other legislation to Congress which I hoped
would suffice to meet the exigency created by
the rejection of the treaty. I now again invoke
the earnest and immedate attention of the
Congress to the condition of this important
question as it now stands before them und the
country, ana lor the settlement 01 which l am

ended September 30, 18SS, and estimated for the
remainder of the time, amount to M77,OJO,(M),
and the actual and estimated ordinary expen
ditures for the same year aro 'J73,0iiO,O00, leav
ing an estimated surplus of 101.iKM,000.
The estimated receipts for the year ending
June 30. 1890, are T377.000,o00, and the estimated
ordinary expenditures for tho same time are
-75,707,4S.3, showing a surplus of 1101,23-!,-511.00.
The foregoing statements of surplus do
not take into account the sum necessary to be
expended to meet the requirements of the
Sinking-Fund act, amounting to moro than
I7,00,000 annually. The cost of collecting the
customs revenues for the last fiscal year was2.4l
per cent. ; for the year 188.J it was 3.77 per cent.
The excess of Internal revenue taxes collect
ed during the last fiscal year over those collect
ed for tho year ended June 30, 1887, was $5,489,,
174.2ft, and the cost of collecting this revenue
decreased from 3.4 per cent in 1887, to leas
than 3.2 per cent, for the last year. The tax
collected on oleomargarine was 723,!MS.Oi for
the year ending June 30, 1837, and &ti 1,130. 84 for
the following year.
THE BOND FTTItCHASES.
The requirements of the Sinking Fund act
Have been met lor the year ended June 30,
18-8, and for the current year also, by the
purchase of bonds. After complying with this
law, as positively required, ana Donas sum
cient for that purpose had been bought at a
premium, it was not deemed prudent to further
expend the surplus in such purchases until
the authority to uo so should be more explicit.
Daily purchases of bonds were commenced on
the 23d day of April, 1883. and have continued
until the present time. By this plan, bonds of
the Government not yet due have been pur-
chasea. up to ana incluaing the 3 rtn aiv of .No
vember. 1SS8. amounting to !),7d ,4Q0. the
premium paid thereon amounting to 17,508,
613.08. The premium added to the principal of these
bonds represents an investment yielding about
two per cent, interest for the time they still
had to ran: and the saving to the Government,
represented by the difference between the
amount of interest at two per cent, upon tho
sum paid for principal and premium, and what
it would have paid for interest at the rate speci
fied in the bonds, if they had run to their ma
turity, is about 27,165,X!0.
'At first sight." says the President, "this
would seem to be a proiltable and sensible
transaction on the part of the Government,
but as suggested by the Secretary of the
Treasury, tne surplus thus expended for the
purchase of bonds was money drawn from the
people in excess of any actual need of the
Government, and was so expended rather than
allow it to remain idle in the treasury. If this
surplus, underjthe operation of just and equita
ble laws, had been left in the hands of the
people, it would have been worth in their
bus ness at least six per cent, per annum
Deducting from the amount of interest upon
the principal and premium of these bonds tov
tuo Uujt; bi.y 1I tu . lu., ... ate ul six per
cent., the saving of two per cent.' made for the
people by the purchase of such bonds, the loss
will appear to be .r5,7() 1,0. 0. This calculation
would seom to demonstrate that if ejeessive
and unnecessary taxation is continued and tho
Government is forced to pursue a pol
icy of purchasing its own bonds at
the premiums, which it will be neces
sary to pay. the loss to tho people
will bo hundreds of millions of dollars. Since
the purchase of bonds was undertaken as men
tioned, nearly all that have been offered were
at last accepted. It has been made quite ap
parent that the Government was in danger of
being subjected to combinations to raise their
price. Notwithstanding the sum thus paid out,
the surplus in the treasury on the 30th of No
vember, 18S8, was t"i2,2')4,GI0.01, after deducting
bout 20,000,0 KJ just drawn out for the pay
ment of pensions.
TOE WAR DEPARTMENT.
The Secretary of War reports that the army,
at the date of the last consolidated returns,
consisted of 2,lK!t officers and 21,. Mil enlisted
men. Tho actual expenditures of the War De
partment for the fiscal year ended June 3 , Ihhs,
amounted to HI, l(i, 107.07, ot which sum 9,158,
6l4.ti3 was expanded for public works, including
river and harbor improvements.
We shall have our own gun factory next
year. Civil-Service reform is recommended
for tho army service. General Sheridan's
death is lamented as an irreparable loss.
Kighty-three men, 170 women, 70 boys and B9
girls, all Indians, are held as prisoners ot war.
The Indian schools aro doing nicely.
PENSIONS REDUCE THE BURPLtlS.
The number of pensioners added to the rolls
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 18SS, is
6 ',2"2, and increase of pensions was granted in
45,718 cases. The names of 15,73) pensioners
were dropped. The number of persons receiv
ing pensions was 452, 557 ; of these there
were 8 ii survivors of the war of 1812;
10,7s7 widows of those who served In
that war; IG.otS) sold ers of the Mexican war
and 5.104 widows of said soldiers. One hundred
and two different rates of pensions are paid to
these beneficiaries, ranging from tS to -lB.Gt)
per month. The amount paid for pensions dur
ing the fiscal year was JTrt.775,8 d.92, l)' injnn
increase over the preceding year of 5,3 281.22.
The expenses attending the maintenance and
operation of the Pension Bureau during that
period were 3, 20 ..." .'4 07. making the entire ex
penditures of the bureau 8i, 038, 36. 57, being
61 '.4 peV cent, of the gross income and nearly 31
percent, of the total expenditures of the Gov
ernment during tho year.
"I am thoroughly convinced that our general
pension laws should be revised and adjusted to
meet ns far as possible in the light of our ex
perience all meritorious cases," says Mr.
Cleveland. "Tha fact tbat 1 r2 different rates
of pensions are paid c:n not, in my opinion, be
made consistent wun jusi.ice io me pensioners
or to the Government, and the numerous pri
vate pension bills that are passei predicated
upon the imperfection of general laws while
they Increase, in many cases, existing inequal
ity and injustice, lend additional force to
the recommendation for a revision of
the general laws on ttrs subject."
THE NAVT.
The reconstruction of the navy is being
push- A forward rapidly. The Charleston. Bal
timore, Yorktown. Vesuvius and Petrel are in
the water and rapidly approaching completion.
The Philadelphia. San Francisco, Newark,
Bennington, Concord and the Hrreshnff tor
pedo boat are under contract. Kleven vessels
in all will be incorporated in the American
navy within the next, twelve months.
Notwithstanding the large expenditures for
new construction and the additional labor they
involve, the total ordinary or current expendi
ture of the department for the three years,
ending June 3 , 1H8S, are less by more than
twenty per cent , than such xpendilures for
the thr:e years, ending June 30. l8i.
THE TOSTAt, SERV CE.
The nnmrer of post-offices on July 1, Itsfl
was 57.870, an increase of 6,124 in three years
and of 2.219 for the last fiscal year. Tho latter
mentioned increase is classified as follows:
New tngland States, 5: Middle States, 1X1;
Southern States and Indian Territory (41).
J,46; the states and Territories of the Pacific
coast, 1 the ten States and Territories of
the Wssl and Northwest, 435: D strict of

PCBLIC LANDS.
"I con not too strenuously insist on the im

ALIjOTMENT IH BEVEHAT.TV TO INDIANSk
The condition of our Indian population con
tinues to improve, and the proofs multiply
that the transforming change so much to be
desired which shall substitute for barbarism
enlightenment iTtid civilizing education, is in
favorable progress. Our relations with these
people during the year have been disturbed
by no serious disorders, but rather marked by
a better realization of their truo interests, and
Increasing confidence and good will. These
conditions testify to the value of the higher
tune ui cuiisiurittiiuu uuu iiuuianiLy wnicn lias
governed the later methods of dealing with
them, and commend Its continued observance.
Allotments In severalty have been made on
some reservations until all those entitled to
land thereon have hal their shares assigned
and the work is still continued.
But no agency for the amelioration of this
people appears to me so promising as the ex
tension urged by the secretary of such com
plete facilities of education as shall at the ear
liest possible day embrace all teachable Indian
youth of both sexes aud retain them with a
kindly and beneficent hold until their
characters are formed and their faculties
trained to the sure pursuit of some form
of useful Industry. Tho capacity of the
Indian no longer needs detnoust ration.
It is established. It remains to make the most
of it, and when that shall be done the curse
will be lifted, the Indian race saved, and the
sin of their oppression redeemed. The time of
its accomplishment depends upon tho spirit
and justice with which it shall be prosecuted.
It can not be too soon for the Indian nor for
the interests and pood name of the Nation.
The average attendance of Indian pupils on
the schools increased by over nine hundred
during the year, and the total enrollment
reached 15,212. The cost of maintenance was
not materially raised. The number of teach
able Indian youth is now estimated at 40.0"0.
er nearly three times the enrollment of the
schools. It is Dcitevea tne ODStacies in tne way
of instruction are all surmountable, and that
the necessary expenditures would be a meas
ure of economy.
THE SIOUX RE3EUVATION.
The Sioux tribes on the great reservationby
Dakota refused to assent to the act passed ol
the Congress at Its last session for opening a
portion of their lands for settlement, notwith
standing modification of the terms was sug
gested which met most of their objections.
Their demand is for immediate payment of the
full price of 41.25 per acre for the entire body
of land, the occupancy of which they are asked
to reliuqtiish.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Departmenirof Agriculture has continued
with a good measure of success, its efforts to
develop the processes, enlarge the results, and
augment the profits of American husbandry. It
has collected and distributed practical infor
mation, introduced aud tested new plants,
che.-ked the spread of contagious dis
eases of farm animals, resisted the ad
vance of noxious insects and destructive fun
gus growths and sought to secure to agricult
ural labor the highest reward of effort, and
the fullest immunity from loss. Its records of
the year show that the season of 1888 fcas been
one of medium production. A generous supply
of the demands of consumption has bsen
assured and a surplus for exportation, moder
ate in certain prbduces and bountiful in others,
wiil prove a benefaction alike to buyer anil

TlX V RO-PN BtT MONIA.
Four years ago it was found that the great
cattle Industry of the country was endangered
and those engaged in it were alarmed at the
rapid extension of the European lung plague of
pleuro-pneumonia. Serious outbreaks existed
in Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky, and in
Tennessee animals affected were held in quar
antine. Five counties in New York and from one
to four counties in each of the States of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland
were almost equally affected. With this great
danger upon us and with the contagion already
In the channels of commerce, with the enor
mous direct and indirect losses already be.ng
caused by it. and when only prompt and
energetic action could be successful, thers were
in none of these States any laws authorizing
this department to eradicate the malady or giv
ing the State officials power to co-operate with
it for this purpose. The department even lacked
both the requisite appropriation and authority.
By securing State co-operation in connection
with authority from Congress the work of
eradication has been pressed successfully, and
this dreaded disease has been extirpated from
the Western States and also from the Eastern
States, with the except! m of a few restricted
areas which are still under supervision. The
danger has been removed and trade and com
merce have been freed from the vexatious
State restrictions which frere deemed neces
sary for a time.
BUOAR-MAKINO EXPERIMENT.
During the past four yours tlie process of dif
fusion, as applied to the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum and sugar cane, lias oc-en intro
duced into this country, and fully perfected by
the experiments carried on by the Department
of Agriculture. This process is now uni
versally considered to be the most eco
nomical one. and it is through that the
sorghnm sugar industry has been established
upon a firm basis and the road to it future suc
cess opened. The adoption of this diffusion
process is also extended in Louisiana and
other sugar-producing parts of the country,
and will, doubtless, soon bo the only method
employed for the extraction of sugar from the
cane.

LAND GRANTS TO RAILROADS.
The adjustment of the relations between the
Government and the railroad companies which
hnvo received land giants and the guaranty of
the public credit in am oi the construction oi
their roads should receive early attention.
The report of a majority of the commis
sioners appointed to examine the affa rs and
indebtedness of these roads in which they
fayor an extension of the time for tho
payment of such indebtedness, in at least ono
case where the corporation appears to be able
to comply with well guarded and exact terms
of such extension and the reinforcement of
theiropinion by gentlemen of undoubted busi
ness judgment and experience appointed to
protect the interests of the Government as di
rectors of said corporation, may well lead to
the belief that such an extension would be to
the advantage of the Government. Tho sub
ject should be treated as a business proposi
tion, with a view to a final realization of it s in
debtedness by the Government, rather than as
a question to be decided upon prejudice or by
way of punishment for previous wrong-doing.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The report of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia, with its accompanying docu
ments, gives in detail the operation of the sev
eral departments of the District Government,
and furnishes evidence that the financial
afTairs of the District are at present in such
satisfactory condition as t) justify tlm com
missioners in submitting to Congress es
timates for desirable and needed improve
ments. The commissioners reoommend cer
tain legislation which, in their opinion, is nec
rssnry to advance tho Interests of tho District.
I invite your special attention to their request
for such legislation as wiil enable tho com
missioners without delay to collect, digest and
properly arrange the laws by which the Dis
trict is governed, and which are now embraced
in several collections, making them available
only with great difficulty ar.d labor. The sug

tion of taxes; to the speedy punishment ol
minor offenders, and to the management and
control of the reformatory and charitable in
stitutions supported by Congressional appro
priations are commended to careful considera
tion. The consciousness that I have presented but
an imperfect statement of the condition of
our country and its wants occasions no fear
that any thing omitted is not known and ap
preciated by the Congress upon which rost
the responsibility of intelligent lsgislation in
behalf of a grat nation and a confid ing peo

well if we constantly guard thn rectitude of

"Well," thinks our impecunious friend,
"here at least is a peril that I am secure

such power of deceiving close at hand as
they have in the distance. The man who
