Mayor Murnane presided and all of the councilmen answered to their names. Under the head of unfinished business, Attorney Spence sub mitted his written opinion in re gard to the openirfg of 11th street from Burgoyne Brennan's store to the north boundary of the city limits. It was to tlië effect that the same could bo widened and straightened by the council. The question of original width came up then and the attorney Was asked to ascertain how wide the original survey and plat made the thorougfare from the county re cords. If it is found to be fifty feet, as generally supposed, the council will immediately proceed to niaKe the street conform to those of other parts of the city. The attorney is to report, at next regular meeting. That part of 11th street running south by the Consolidated Imp. Co. building, Will hereafter be a street, it having been used as such for five years. The council will shortly designate its Width. Bills to the amount of $63.75 were allowed. An ordinance to establish a fire department was read and laid over under the rule. Before adjournment was taken and during an informal talk it developed that most if not all of the councilmen were in favor of system of water works and electric light. They expressed themselves as in favor of the city owning the same if possible. The interest taken led one to believe that the proposition would likely be sub mitted to the taxpayers at the coming city election.

We have within our state big finan ciers, little financiers, and would-be financiers. Corporate eyes have looked greedily upon the mineral lands on the reservaHon.

But all the while It was nearing that acute stage where the "survival of the fittest" In diplomacy would be manifest.

That's the polite way of putting It In print. on a

Now then! A good three weeks ago two people of this city went east. One of them was a capitalists manipulator_ the other a banker. The banker going to New York, said the dally press. That's as far as the d. p. went. The d. p. did 'nt know any more, Is the reason why. The cold facts In the case are this —The banker went direct to Milwaukee and there picked up a United Sûtes Senator, who accompanied him to Washington, where they caucused with the other Salt Lakeron bringing to bear upon SecreUry Francis a battery of well trained argument and promises that go so far to dazzle big men and pull ofl the plum.

And they all consider the money well spent—why not? was

On the reservation are rich deposits of gtlsonite, elatoerlte, asphaltum and other things, that would go far towards making a fortune for each and member of a successful "clique" In the premises, and If signs or words count for aught, they have palled ofl the bus fness. every The Salt Lake Argus was a hot thing when Jim Bloor, all alone, worked him self to deaths door upon ft. To regain his health he let go of It, and my friend, Alma Katz took it and essayed to run it. This he did—Into the ground—the lines of Ihought and action upon which It was reared were decidedly too heavy for Alma to master. But now its a hotter thing than ever, and Is still heat ing—the natural sequence to being by such a newspaper team as Kantner and Bloor. If tl ese two bright paper men are permitted to follow lines as Indicated to date, they will set the Argus upon a pedestal that will be for them a proud monument behind after they have gone Into that shoreless and paperless realm beyond this Die. run news

The country press of Utah should be slow in matters of impending legisla tlon.

Washington, Dec. 7.—The first dsy of the second session of the Fifty-fourth congress presented no remarkable feat, ures. There were 71 senators In their seats and 18 absentees. The president s message was read without apparently evoking any special Interest, the onlt exception to that rule being to the por tions of the message devoted to Armen ian outrages and to the revolution In Cuba. On the first of these subjects the president states his belief "that the present sombre prospect In Turkey will not be long permitted to oBend the sight of C'iristendom," The president's discussion of the Cuban question Is extensive and Impar tial but Its summing up Indicates the temper and views of the administration. It Is these words: "When the inability ol Spain to deal successfully with the Insurrection has become manifest, a situation will be presented In which obligations to the sovereignty of Spat will be superseded by higher obligation which we can hardly hesitate to nize and discharge."

Venezuela and Tnrkey-lipntn Hist Suppress the Rcbclllos or Lose Cuba—Treasury Statement and Currency Reform Uueom paniere Asphaltum Deposits —Tariff—Pacific Railroads, Rie. The Congress of the United States: —As representative of the people in the legislative branch of the Government, you have assembled at a time when the Strength and excellence oi our free in stitutions and the fitness of our citizens to enjoy popular rule have been agal made manifest. A political contest in volving momentous fraught with feverish apprehension, and creating aggressiveness so Intense as to approach bitterness and passion, has been waged throughout the land, and determined by the decree of free and Independent suffrage, without dis turbance of our tranquillity or the least sign of weakness In our national struc ture. When we consider these inclden's and contemplate the peaceful obedience and manly submission which have suc ceeded a heated clash of political opinions, we discover abundant evidence of a determination on the part of our countrymen to abide by every verdict of the popular will and tobe controlled at all times by an abiding faith In the agencies established for the direction of the affairs of their government. Thus our people exhibit a patriotic disposi tion which entitles them to demand of those who undertake to make and execute their laws such faithful and un selfish service In their behalf as can only be prompted by a serious apprecia tion of the trust and confidence which acceptance of public duty invites. In obedience to a constutlonal re quirement, I hereby submit to the Con gress certain Information concern! ng National affairs with tne suggestion of such legislation as In my judgment Is necessary and expedient. To secure brevity and avoid tiresome narration, I shall omit many details concerning mat ters within Federal control which, by no meant unimportant, are more profit ably discussed in departmental reports. I shall also further curtail this commu nication by omitting a minute recital of any minor Incidents connected with our foreign relations which have heretofore found a place In executive messages, but are now contained In a report of the Secretary of State, which is herewith submitted. I consequences, TURKEY. At the outset of a reference to the more Important matters affecting our relations with foreign powers, it would afford me satisfaction If I could assure the Congress that the disturbed condi tion in Asiatic Turkey had, during the past year, assumed a less hideous and bloody aspect, and that either as a con sequnce of the awakening of the Turk ish Government to the demand of humane civilization or as the result of a decisive action on the part of the great nations having the right by treat} to interfere for the protection of those ex posed to the rage of mad bigotry and cruel fanaticism, the shocking features of tne situation had been mitigated. Instead, however of welcoming a softened disposition or protective inter vention, we have been afflicted by con tinued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of children, made martyrs to their profes sion of Christian faith. While none of our citizens in Turkey have thus far been killed or wounded, though often in the midst of dreadful scenes of dan ger, their safety in the future is by no means assured. Our Government at home and our minister at Constanti nople have left nothing undone to pro tect our missionaries In Ottoman terri tory, who constitute nearly all the indi viduals residing there who have a right to claim our protection on the score of American citizenship. CUBA. The insurrection in Cuba still contin ues with all its perplexities. It is diffi cult to perceive that any progress has thus far been made towärd the pacifica tion of the island, or that the situa tlon of affairs as depicted in my last an nuai message has In the least improved. If Spain still holds Havana and the aeaports and all the considerable towns, Ttys Insurgents still roam at will over at least two-thirds of the inland country. If the determination of Spain to put down the insurrection 6eems but to strengthen with the lapse of time, and is evinced by her unhesitating devotion of l* r gely increased military and naval forces to the task, there is mnch reason to believe that the insurgents have gained in point of numbers and charac ter and resources, and are none the less Inflexible in their resolved not to suc cumb without practically securrlng the great object for which they took up aims. If Spain has not yet re-establish ed her authority, neither have the insur gents yet made good their title lo be re arded as an Independent State. Indeed :n, women and maintain It, has been p-actlcillv abinrl oned. Spain does not keep on foot sneb a government, more or less Imperfec'ly in the large towns and their imniedii'e suburbs. But, that exception being made the entire country Is either given over to anarchy or Is subject to the military occupation of one or the other party. It Is reported, indeed, on relia ble authority that at the demand oi the commander-in-chief of the insur gent army, the putative Cuban Govern ment has now given exercise its functions Government confessedly (what there Is best reason for supposing It always to have been the fact) a government MERELY ON PAPER. p all attempt to leaving the Were the Spanish armies able to meet their antagonists In the open or In pitched battle, prompt and decisive suits might be looked fo-, and the Im mense re perlorlty of the Spanish forces in numbers, discipline and equipment could hardly fall to tell greatly to their advantage. "But they are rallied upon to face a foe that shuns general engagements, that can choose and does choose Its own ground, that from the nature of the country is visible or invisible at pleas ure, and that fights only from ambus cade and when all the advantages of po sition and numbers are on its side. In a country where all that is indispensa way of food, clothing and shelter Is so easily obtainable, pedal 1* by those born and bred on the soil, it is obvious that there Is hardly a limit to the time during which hostil ities of this sort ble to life in the ea may be prolonged. Meanwhile in all cases of protracted civil strife, the passions of the combat ants grow more and more inflamed and excesses on both sides become more fre buent and more deplorable. They also participated in by bands of ders who now In the name of one party and now in the name of the other, may best suit the occasion, harrass the countrv at are marau as III and plunder its wretched inhabitants for their own advantage. Such a condition of affairs would inevit ably entail much destruction of property even if it were the policy of both parties to prevent It as far as practicable, while such seemed to be the original policy of the Spanish government, it has apparently abandoned it, and is acting upon the same theory as the insurgents, namely, that the exigencies of the test require the of property that It may not prove of any use and advantage to the enemy. It is to the same end that in But con holesale annihilation pursu ance of general orders, Spanish garri sons are now being withdrawn from plantafions and the rural population re quired to concentrate Itself In the iowna. The sure result would seem to be that the industrial value of the island is fast diminishing, and that unless there is a speedy and radical change in existing conditions, it will soon disappear alto gether. That val of course, in its capacity to produce sugar, a capacity already much redneed by the interruptions to tillage which have taken place during the past two years. II Is reliably asserted that those Interruptions continue during the cur rent year and practically extend as is now threatened to the entire sugar pro duclng territory of the Island, so much time and so much money will be re quired to restore the land to its normal proeuctiveness that it is extremely doubtful if capital can be induced even to make the attempt. The spectacle of the utter ruin of an adjoining country, by nature one of the most fertile and charming on the whole globe, would engage the serious atten tion of the Government and the people of the United States In any circum stances. In point of fact, they have a concern with it which Is by no means of a wholly sentimental or philanthropic character. It lies so near to us as tobe hardly separated from our territory. Our actual pecuniary interest In it Is second only to that of the people and Govern ment of S| iln. It iß reasonably esti mated that at least from $30,000,000 to $50,000.000 of American capital are in vested in plantations and in railroad, mining and other business enterprises on the island. The volume of trade be tween the United States and Cuba, which in 1889 amounted to about $64, 000,000, rose in 1893 to about $103,000, 000, and In 1894, the year before the present insurrection broke out, amount ed to nearly $96,000.000. Besides this large pecuniary stake in the fortunes of Cuba, the United States finds itself in extricably involved in Ihe present con test in other ways both vexatious and costly Many Cubans reside In this country, and indirectly promote the In surrection through the press, by public meetings, by the purchase and ship ment of arms, by the raising of funds, and by other means, which the ßpirit of our institutions and the tenor of our laws do not permit to be made the sub ject of ciimnal prosecutions. Some of them, though Cubans at heart and in all their feelings and interests, have taken out papers as naturalized citizens of the United States, a proceeding resorted to with a view to possible protection by this Government, and not unnecessarily regarded with much indignation by the country of their origin. The insurgents are undoubtedly encouraged and sup ported by the widespread sympathy for freedom which the people of this coun try always and instinctively feel for every struggle for better and freer gov ernment, and which In the case of the consists largely, sonal participation In the conteat. The result is that this Government Is constantly called upon to protect Amer ican citizens, to claim damages for in juries to persons and property now esti mated at many millions of dollars, and to ask explanations and apologies for the acts of Spanish officials^ whose zeal tor the repression of rebellion binds them to the Immunities belonging to the offending citizens of a friendly power. It follows fron« the same causes that the United States Is compelled to actively police a long line of seacoast against unlawful expeditions, escape of which the utmost vigilance will not always suffice to prevent. These inevitable entanglements of the United States with the rebellion In Cuba the large American property interests affected, and considerations of phllan throphy and humanity in general, have led to a vehement demard In various quarters for some sort of positive inter vention on the part of the United Stales. It was at first proposed that bellger enl rights should be accorded the Insnr gents—a proposition no longer weighed because untimely and In practical opera tion clearly perilous and Injuries to our own Interests. It has since been and is now sometimes contended that the in dependence of the Insurgents should be recognized. But Imperfect and restrlcl daa the Spanish government of the Island may be, no other exists there_ unless the will of the military officer In temporary command of a particular district can be dignified as a species of government. It Is row also suggested that the United States should buy the Island—a suggestion possibly worthy of consideration if there were anv evidences of a desire or willingness on the part of Spain to entertain such a proposal. It Is urged, iinally, that, all other methods failing, the existing internecine strife In Cuba should be terminated by our inter vention even at the cost of a war be tween the United States and Spain—a war which its advocates confidently prophesy could neither be large In its proportions or doubtful in Its Issue. The correctness of this forecast need be neither affirmed nor denied. The United States has nevertheless a char acter to maintain as a nation, which plainly dictates that right and not might should be the rule of Its conduct. Further, though the United States is 1 not a nation, to which peace Is a ne cessity, it is In truth the most pacific of powers, and desires -nothing so mnch as to live in amity with all the world. Its own ample and diversified domains satisfy all possible longings for territory preclude all dreams of conquest, and prevent any casting of covetous eyes upon neighboring regions, however at tractive. That our conduct toward Spain and her dominions has constitut ed no exception to this national dispo sition, is made manifest by the course of out government, not only thus far during the present insurrectien, but dur ing the ten years that followed the ris ing at Yara in 1868. _ No other great power, it may be safe ly said, under circumstances of similar perplexity, would have manifested the same restraint and the same patient en durance. It may also be said that this persistent attitude of the United States toward Spain in connection with Cuba unques tionably evinces no slight respect and regard for Spain on the part of the American people. They in truth do not forget her connection with the discov ery of the western hemisphere, nor do they underestimate the great qualities of the Spanish people, nor fall to fully recognize their splendid patriotism and their chivalrous devotion to the Na tional honor. They view with wonder and admiration the cheerful resolution with which va6t bodies of men are sent across thousands of miles of ocean and an enormous debt accumulated that the costly possession of the Gem of the Antilles may still hold its place in the Spanish crown. And yet neither the Government nor the people of the United Slates have 6hut their eyes to the course of events in Cuba, or have failed to realize the existence of con ceded grievances which have led to the present revolt from the authority of Spain—grievances recognized by the Queen Regent and by the Cories, voiced by the most patriotic and enlightened of Spanish statesmen without regard to party, and demonstrated by reforms roposed by the executive and approved pby the legislative branch of the Spansh Government. It is I41 the assumed temper and disposition of the Spanish Government to remedy these griev ances, fortified by indications of influ ential public opinion in Spain, that this Government has hoped to discover the most promising and effective means of composing the present strife with honor and advantage to Spain and with the achievement of all the reasonable ob jects of the insurrection. It would seem that If Spain would offer to Cuba genuine autonomy—a meesure of home rule which, while pre serving the sovereignty of Spain, would satisfy all rational requirement of her Spanish subj cts—there should be no just reason why the pacification of the Island might not be effected on that basis, Such a result would appear to be in the true luterest of all concerned. It would at onoe stop the conflict which is now consuming the resources of the island and making it worthless for which eveapaify may ultimately prevail. It, would keep Intact the possensiens of Spain without touching which will be consulted rather than im pugned by the adequate redress of ad ml.ted grievances. It would put the prosperity of the island and the fortunes of its inhabitants within their own trol without severing natural and ancient ties which bind thdm to the mother country, and would yet enable them to test their capacity for self-government under the most favorable conditions. It has been objected on the one side that Spain would not promise the her honor con ant sufficient, because without assurance of the promise being fulfilled. But the reasonableness of the requirement by Spain, of unconditional surrender on the part of the Insurgent Cubans before their autonomy Is conceded, is uot alto gether apparent. It Ignores important features of the situation—the stability of its Indefinite prolongation in the na ture of things and as shown by past experience: the utter and Imminent ruin of the island, unless the present strife is speedily composed; above all, the rank abuses which all parties In Spain, all branches of her government, and all her leading public men concede to exist and professa desire to remove. Facing such circumstance;, to with hold the proffer of needed reforms until the parties demanding them put them selves at mercy by throwing down their arms has the appearance of neglecting the gravest of perils and Inviting suspi cion as to the sincerity of any pro fessed willingness to grant reforms. The objection on behalf of the Insur gents—that promised reforms cannot be relied upon—must, of course, be consid ered, though we have no right to assume and no reason for a sumlng, that any thing that Spain undertakes to do for the relief of Cuba will not De done ac cording to both the spirit and the letter of the undertaking. Nevertheless, realizing that suspicions and precautions on the part of the weaker of the two combatants are al ways natural and not always unjustifi able—being sincerely desirous In the interests of both as well as on Its own account that the Cuban problem should be solved with the least possible delay —It was Intimated by this Government to the Government of Spain some months ago that if satisfactory meas ures of home rule were tendered the Cuban Insurgents, and would be ac cepted by them upon a guarantee of its execution, the United States would en deavor to find a way not objectionable to Spain of furnishing such guaranty. While no definite response to this in timation has yet been received from the Spanish Government, it is believed to be not altogether unwelcome, while, as already suggested, no reason Is per ceived why It should not be approved by the Insurgents; neither party can fail to see the Importance of early action, and both must realize that to prolong the present state of things for even a s hort period will add enormously to the time and labor and expe«4Uim sary to bring about the IndtMtlii peration of the Island. fervently hoped on albjMHjj earnest efforts for healing The between Spain and the insurgent Cu bans upon the lines above indicated may be at once inaugurated and pushed to an immediate and successful issue. The friendly offices of the United States, either in the manner above outlined or in any other way consistent with our Constitution and laws, will always be at the disposal of either party. Whatever circumstances may arise, our policy and our Interest would con strain us to object to the acquisition of the island or an interference with its control by any other power. It should be added that it cannot be reasonably assumed that the hither to expectant attitude of the United States will be indefinitely maintained. While we are anxious to accord all due respect to the sovereignty of Spain, we cannot view the pending conflict in all its features, and properly apprehend our inevitably close relations to it and its possible results without considering that by the course of events we may be drawn into such an unusal and un precedented condition as will fix a limit to our patient waiting for Spain to end the contest, either alone or in her own way, or with our friendly co-operation. When the inability of Spain to deal successfully with the insurgents ha6 become manifest, and it Is'demonstrated that her sovereignty Is extinct in Cuba for ail purposes of its rightful existance, and when a hopeless struggle for Its re establishment has degenerated Into a strife which means nothing more than he useless sacrifice of human Die and lie u 'ter destruction of the very subject matter of the conflict, a situation will be presented In which our obligations to the sovereignty of Spain will be sup erseded by higher obligations, which we can hardly hesitate to recognise and dis charge. Deferring the choice of ways and methods until the time for action ar rives, we should make them depend up on the precise conditions then existing; and they should not be determined up on without giving careful heed to every consideration involving our honor and Interest or the International duty we owe to Spain. Until we face the con tingencies suggested, or the situation Is by other Incidents Imperatively changed we should continue In the line of con duct heretofore pursued, thus In all clr cumstances exhibiting our obedience to the requirements of public law and our regard for the duty enjoined upon us by the position we occupy in the galaxy of nations. A contemplation of emergencies tha may arise should plainly lead us to avoid their creation, either through a careless disregard of present duty or even an undue stimulation and III timed expression of feeling. But I have deemed it not amiss to remind the con gress that a time may arrive when a correct policy and care for our interests as well as a regard for the interests of other nations and their citizens, joined by considerations of humanity and a desire to see a rich and fertile country intimately related to us saved from com plete devastation, will constrain our goverment to such action as will subserve the Interests Involved, and at the same time promise to Cuba and Its inhabit ants an opportunity to enjoy the bless ings of peace. >eçes of be i, VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY. The Venezuelan boundary qui on visions of a treaty between Great Brit ain and Venezuela, submlttlngthe whole controversy to arbitration. The provis ions of the treaty are so eminently just aqd fair that the assent of Vene zuela thereto may confidently be antici pated. Negotiations for a treaty of general arbitration for all differences between Great Britain and the United States are far advanced, and promise to reach a successful consummation at an early date. PUBLIC LANDS. Our public lands originally amount ing to 1,840,000,000 acres, have been so reduced that only about 600,000,000 acaes still remain In government con trol, excluding Alaska. The balance, being by far the most valuable portion, has been given away to settlers to new states and to railroads or sold at a com paratively nominal sum. The patenting of land In execution of railroad grants has progressed rapidly during the year, and 6lnce the 4th day of March, 1893, about 15,000,000 acres, have thus been conveyed to these cor porations, I agree with the secretary that thd remainder of our public land6 should be more carefully dealt with and their alienation guarded by better economy and greater prudence. The commission appointed from the membership of the National Academy of Sciences, provided for by an act of congrLBS to formulate plan« for a na tional forestry system will, It Is hoped, soon be prepared to present the result of thorough and Intelligent examination of this Important subject. THE ASPHALTUM BEDS. It appears that a very valuable de posit of gilsonlte or asphaltum has been found on the reservation In Utah, occu pied by the Uncompahgre Indians. Every consideration of care for the public Interest and every sensible busi ness reason dictate such management or disposal of this Important Bource of public revenue aB will except It from the general rules and Incidents attending the ordinary disposition of public lands and secure to the government a fair share at least of Its advantages In place of its transfer for a nominal sum to In terested Individuals. PACIFIC ROADS' DEBT. The secretary calls attention to the public Interests Involved In an adjust ment of the obligations of the Pacific rallrokds to the government. I deem It tebfi an Important duty to especially In be for already of the principal of the subsidy bonds Is* sued by the United States in aid of the construction of the Union Pacific rail It I if of of way, Including Its Kansas line, and more than $6,000,000 of like bonds issued In aid of the Central Pacific railroad, In cluding those Issued to the Southern Pa cific llallroad company, will have fallen due and been paid, or must, on that day be paid by the government. Without any reference to the application of the sinking fund now In the treasury, this will «ireate »'«eh a default on the part of these companies to l!." government as will give It the right to at Institute proceedings to foreclose Its mo...age lien. In addition to this Indebtedness It will be due January i, 1897, there will, mature between that date and January i, 1899, the remaining principal of such subsidy bonds, which must also be met y the government. These amount to more than $20, 000,000 on account of the Union Pacific lines, and exceed £21,000, 000 on account of the Central Pacific line*. The situation of these roads and the condition of thelrj Indebtedness to the government have been fully set forth In the reports of various committees to the present and prior congresses; and as early as 1887 were thoroughly exam ined by a special commission appointed pursuant-to an act of congress. The consideration requiring an adjustment of the government's relations to the company's, have been clearly presented and the conclusion reached with prac tical uniformity, that If these relations are not terminated they should be re vised upon a basis securing their safe continuance. Under a section of the act of con gress passed March 3, 1887, the presi dent Is charged with the duty, In the event that any mortgage or other In cumbrance paramount to the interest of the United States In the property of the Pacific railroads shall exist and be lawfully liable to be enforced, to direct the action of the departments of treas ury and of justice In the protection of the interest of the United States by redemption through judicial proceed ings, Including foreclosure of the gov ernment Ilen6. In view of the fact that the congress has for a number of years almost constantly had under con sideration various plans for dealing with the conditions existing between these roads and the governmenl, I have thus far felt justified in withholding action under the statute above mentioned. In the case of the Union Pacific, how ever, the situation has become especially and Immediately urgent. Proceedings have been Instituted to foreclos a mort gage upon those aided parts of the itialu line upon which the government holds a second and subordinate mort gage Hen. In consequence of these proceedings' and Increasing complica tions, added to the default occurring the ist day of January, 1897, a condi tion will be presented at that date, so far as this comptny Is concerned, that tnust emphasize the mandate of the act Of 1887 and give to executive duty finder Us provisions a more Imperative aspect. Therefore, unless congress shall Otherwise direct, or shall have previous ly determined upon a different solution of the problem, there will hardly ap pear to exist any reason for delaying I beyond the date of the default above I CURRENCY. This reference to the foundation prospects of and ir revenues naturally suggests an allusion to the weakness and vices of our financial methods. They have been frequently pressed the attention of u pon in previous congre executive communications ami the in evitable danger of their continued tol eration pointed out. Without now re peating these detals, I cannot refrain from again earnestly presenting the necessity of the prompt reform of a system opposed to every rule of sound finance and show be fraught with the gravest peril and perplexity. which shîok the foundations of by experience to The terrible civil var our government more than 30 years ago, brought in its train the destruction of property, the wasting of substance and the estrangement of breth ren. These are now past and forgotten. Even the distressing loss of life the conflict entailed Is but a sacred ir countries' memory which fosters patriotic sentiment and keeps alive a tender regard for those who nobly died. And yet there remain with us today in full strength as an in cident of that tremendous struggle a feature of its financial necessities, not only tinsulted to our present drei stances, but manifestly a disturbing menace to business security and ever-present agent of monetary distress Because we maybe enjoying a tem porary relief from its depressing influ ence, this should not lull 119 inio a false security nor leads us to forge* the sud denness of past visitations. I am more convinced than ever that we can have no assurred financial peace and safety until the government currency obliga tions upon which gold may be demand ed from the treasury are withdrawn from circulation and cancelled. This might be done, recommended, by their exchange for long-term bonds bearing a low rate of interest, or by their redemption with the proceeds of 6uch bonds. Even if only the United States notes known greenbacks were thus retired it is probable that the treasury notes issued In payment of silver purchases under the act of July 14, 1890, now paid in gold when demanded, would not create such disturbance, time to time when received In the treas ury by redemption in gold or otherwise be gradually and prudently replaced by sliver coin. This plan of issuing bonds for the purpose of redemption certainly appears to be the mos! effective and diMGi. path to the neeeed reform. has been heretofore as they might from U^would right wheneveV'lflf r«*ne«Mai celled instead of being reissued, opperation would be a slow remedy, but It would improve present conditions. National banks would redeem their own notes. They would be allowed to Issue circulation to the par value of bonds deposited as security for its re demption and the tax on their circula tion should be reduced. In considering projects for the retire ment of United States notes and treas ury notes, Issued under the law of 1890. I am of the opinion that we have placed too much stress upon the the danger of contracting the currency have calculated too little Opon the gold that would be added to our circulation if invited to us by better and safer finan cial methods. It is not so much a con traction of our currency that should be avoided as such unequal distribution. This might be obviated and any fear of harmful contraction at the same time removed by allowing the organ ization of smaller banks and in less populous communities than are now permitted and authorizing banks to establish branches in small communi ties under proper restriction. The entire case may be presented by the statement that the day of sensible and sound financial method will not r'awn upon us until our government abandons the banking business and tiie accumulation of funds, and confi monetary operations to the receipt of the money contributed by the people for its support, and to tho expenditure of such money for tlie people's benefit. Our bnslness interests and all good citizens long for rest from feverish agi tatlon, and the inauguration by the government of a reformed financial policy which will encourage enterprise and make certain the rewards of labor and ludustry. rflff penses of the government, as I as to give American manufacturers and I producers better and mere profitable id its TARIFF. I desire to recur to the statement else where made concerning, the govern ment's receipts and expenditures for the purpose of venturing upon some suggestions touching the present tar iff law and its operation. This statute took effect on the 28th day of August, 1894. Whatever may be its shortcomings as a complete measure of tariff reform, it must be conceded that It has opened the way to afreerd a greater exchange of commodities be tween us and other countries and thus furnished a wider market for our pro ducts and manufactures. The only fiscal year during which this law has been in force ended on the 30 day of June, 1896. In that year our imports Increased over those of the previous year more than $6,500,000* while the value of the domestic pro ducts we exported and which found markets abroad was nearly 870,000,000. Those who insist that the cost to our people of articles coming to^ abroad for their needful g only be Increased through tan to an extent necessary to meet those who claim that tariff charges may be laid upon such articles beyond the necessities of government revenue and with the additional purpose of so in creasing their price in our markets kl maintenance. Considered aa* jj sufficiency in this respect, the pr. law can by no net condemnation. Duri under CO t linn was recel duties In the preceding was, nevertheless; a deficit betwm^^^H receipts and expenditures of more than $85,000,000. This however? was not unexpected. The situation was such in December, seven months before the close of the fiscal year, that the secretary of the treasury foretold a deficiency. Distress In business circles and the depression In all activities intervening since that time, resulting from causes perfectly well understood and entirely dlscon. tariff law or its opera nected with tion, seriously checked the imports we should have otherwise received and readily account for the difference be tween this estimate of the secretary and the actual deficlncy, as well as for a con tinued deficit. Indeed, it must be confessed that we could hardly have had a more unfavor able period than the last two years for the collection of a tariff revenue. We cannot reasonably hope that our recu peration from this business depression will be sudden, but It has already aet In with a promise oi acceleration and con tinuance. I believe our present tariff law, If allowed a fair opportunity, will In the near future yield a revenue which will overcome all deficiencies. In. the meantime no defict that has oc curred or may occur need excite or dis turb us. To meet any such deficiency, we have in the treasury, In addition to a gold reserve of $100,000,000. a surplus oi more than $128,000,000 applicable to the payment oi the expenses of the govern ment, and which must, unless expended for that purpose, remain a useless hoard, or, li not extravagantly wasted, must in any event be preverted from the pur pose of its exaction from our people. The payment, therefore, of any defi ciency in the revenue from this fund la nothing more than its proper and legiti mate use. The government thus applying a sur plus fortunately in Its treasury to the payment of expenses not met by Its cur rent revenues is not at all to be likened to a man living beyond his Income and thus incurring debt or encroaching on his principal. It Is not one of the func tions cf our government to accumulate and make additions to a fund not needed dlture. With Indl the go ment of Its running erpinl4w*WB99ZP| An Individual living beyond his Income and embarrassing himself with debt or drawing upon his accumulated fund or principal Is either unfortunate or im provident. The distinction Is between* government charged with the duty of expending for the benefit of the people and for proper purposes all the money it receives from any source and the In. dividual who is expected to manifest a natural desire to avoid debt or to accu mulate as much as possible and to life within the income derived from sttch accumulations, to the end that they may be increased or at least remain un impaired for the future use and enjoy, ment of himself and object* of hit love and affection who may survive him. it Is Immeasurably better to appro priate our surplus to the payment ef justifiable expenses than to allow It to become an Invitation to reckless appro priations and extravagant expenditures. I suppose it will not be denied that un der the present law our people Obtain the necessaries of a comfortable exist, ence at a cheaper rate than formerly. This is a matter of supreme Importance, since It Is the palpabieduty of every just government to make the burdens of taxation pie should not be required to relinquish this privilege oi cheap living except under the stress of their government, necessarily made plainly manifest. I indorse the recommendation fiiada by the present secretary of the Interim as well as his predecessor, that a per manent commission, consisting of three members, one of whom shall be en army officer, be created to perform the duties now devolving upon the com missioner and assistant commissioner of Indian affairs. The me: bureau involves such It verse details and the a] uninterrupted policy a that I hope the change meet the approval of the congress. light as possible. The peo rement oi the AN APPEAL FOR ECONOMY. In concluding this communication, Us last words shall be an appeal to the congress for the most rigid econ omy in the expenditure of the money it holds in trust for the people. The way to perplexing extravagance la easy, but a return to frugality Is diffi cult. When however, It is considered that those who can bear the burden* of taxation have no guaranty of honeat in the fidelity of their care save public servants, the duty of all possi ble retrenchment Is plainly manifest. When our differences are forgotten and our contests of political opinion, longer remembered, nothing in are no the retrospect of our public service will be as fortunate and comforting as the recollection of official duty well[perform edandjthe memory ol a constantdevotkm interests of our confiding fellow There are hundreds of former* who are In tlje milk busineas and who know that the business pays, yet they cannot separate the paying cow* from those that do not pay," because they do not^gj keep accounts with each animai.

Last night at the Council meeting it developed that the members were heartily in favor of putt ing in a water WËÊÊMÊÊm and an In talking it twWPIWWillowing facts were* ascertained: That a complete plant wil^ cost about $25,000. That thirty year bonds could be sold drawing 5 per

That to meet this, even if the plant brought in nothing for the first year or two, an assessment of not more than mills would be required. It was believed that the plant would yield a net income from the begining, and help a great deal towards paying the inter est on the bonds. After a few years the net income j would not only pay the inter I est and provide a sinking fund, but also help pay the other expenses of the city. The best of all is that the city wouliti own the plant and cit izens would not be under the iron heel of a corporation.
