The report of the attorney Roneral is by
law submitted directly to congress but I
cannot refrain from saying that lie Laa
conducted the increasing work of the de
partment of justice with Kre.\t profession
al flkill.
Application * for Clemency.
The numerous applications for execu
tive clemency presented in behalf of per
sons convicted in the United States courts
and given penitentiary Sentences , have
called my attention to a fact referred to by
the attorney general in bis re
port , namely , that a time allowance
lor good behavior for such prison
ers , is prescribed by the federal
statutes only where the state in which the
penitentiary is located had made no such
provision. Prisoners are given the benefit
of the provisions of the slate law regulat
ing the penitentiary to which they may
be sent. These are various , some perhaps
too liberal , and some , perhaps , too illib
eral. The result is a sentence for five
years means one thing , if the prisoner is ,
sent to one state for confinement , and is
quits a different thing if he is sent to an
other. I recommend that a uniform
credit for good behavior be prescribed by
congress.
1 have before expressed my concurrence
in the recommendation of attorney gen
eral that degrees of murder should bo
recognized in the federal statutes , as they
are , I believe , in all the states.
Claims.
The aggregate of claims pendingagainst
the government in the court of claims is
enormous. Claims to the amount of near
ly 540,000,000 for taking of evidence of in
jury to persons claiming to be loyal dur
ing the war are now before that court for
examination. When to these are added
the Indian depredation claims and the
French spoliation claims an aggregate is
reached that is indeed startling.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ;
r
Gratifying Reports.
The report of the postmaster-general
shows a most gratifying increase and a
most efficient and progressive manage
ment of the great business of that depart
ment. The remarkable increase in rev
enues , in the number of postoffices and In
the miles of mail interchange , furnishes
another evidence of the high state of
prosperity which our people are enjoying.
New offices mean new namlets and towns ,
new routes mean the extension of our bor
der settlements , and increased revenue
mean active commerce. The postmaster-
general reviews the whole period of his
administration of the office and brings
some of his statistics down to the month
of November last.
The 1'ostal Revenues
have increased during the last year nearly
$5,000,000. The deficit for the year ending
June SO , 1893 , is § 848,311 less than the de
ficiency of the preceding year. The de
ficiency of the present fiscal year , it is
estimated , will be reduced to 31,752,423 ,
which will not only be extinguished dur
ing the next fiscal year , btit a surplus of
nearly $1,000,000 should then bo shown.
The number o'f posto'Rces has been in
creased by 2,790 during the year ; and dur
ing the past four years and up to Oct. 29
last.thc total increase in the number of of
fices has been nearly 1,000. The number
of free delivery offices has been nearly
doubled in the past four years and the
number of money order offices more than
doubled in that time.
For three years ending June 80. 1892 , the
postage revenues amounted to § 107,444,359 ,
which was an increase of 152,263,150 over the
revenue for the three years ending June
30 , 16S8 , the increase during the last three
years being more than three and a half
times great as the increase during the
year ending June 80 , 1888.
The postmaster general has extended to
the postoffices in the larger cities , the
merit system of promotion , introduced by
my direction , into the departments here ,
and it has resulted there , as in the depart
ments , in 9. large volume of work , and
that better done.
Oar Merchant Marina.
An increasing torrent of American
travel to Europe nas concrioutea a vase
sum annually to the dividends of foreign
ship owners. The balance of trade shown
by the books Of our custom houses has
been largely reduced , and in many years ,
altogether extinguished by this
constant drain. In the year 1893
Only 12.3 per cent , of our imports
were brought in American ships. A
wholesome change of policy and Laving
80 much promise as it seems to me , was
bflgnn by the law of March S , 1891. Under
this law contracts have been made by the
postmaster general for eleven mail
routes , the expenditure involved by these
contracts for the next fiscal year
approximates $951.123.88. As one of the
pod results reached sixteen American
Ips of an aggregate tonnage
57,400 tons , costing $7,400,000 ,
i been built or contracted to
e built in'American shipyards.
The estimated toilaaga of all steamships
: equtred under existing contracts is 165- ,
m , and when the 'all service required by
iase contracts is established there will bo
; Iqvty-ona roall steamers under the Amer *
can flag-with the probability of further
B&Cassary additions in the Brazilian and
Argentine service. The contracts recently
let for trans-Atlantic service will result
| n the construction of five ships of 10,000
' ins each , costing 59,000,000 or 810,000000 ,
will add , with the City of New York
the City pf Paris , to which the treas
ury department was authorized by legisla
tion at the last session to give American
registry , seven , , of the swiftest vessels upon
the sea to our naval reserve.
The commissioner of navigation states
that a "very large per cent , of our imports
from Asia are now brought to us by Eng
lish steamships and their connecting rail
ways in Canada. With a view of promot
ing this trade , especially in tea , Canada
has imposed a discriminating duty of 10
per cent , on tea and coffee brought into
the dominion from the United States. If
this unequal contest bet\yeen American
lines without subsidy , or with diminished
subsidies , and the English Canadian line
to which I have referred , is to continue , I
fhink we should at least see that the
facilities for customs entry and transpor
tation across our territory are not such as
to make the Canadian route a favored one ,
and that the discrimination as to duties ,
to which I have referred , is met by a like
discrimination as to the importation of
these articles from Canada.
THE NAVY.
Hovr It Grows.
\Vhen the present secretary entered up
upon his duties only three modern steel
vessels were in commission. The vessels
since put in commission and to be put in
commission during the winter will make
a total of nineteen during his adminis
tration of the department. Two other
large ships and a torpedo boat are under
contract and the work upon them is well
advanced. .
Contracts have been let for the increase
of the navy including new vessels and
their appurtenances , to the amount of
$35,000,000and there have been expended
during the same period for labor at navy
yards upon similar work $8,000,000.
Naval Militia.
The development of a naval militia
which has been' organized in eight states
and"brought into cordial and co-operative
relations Wi h the navy , is another im
portant achievement. There are now en
listed in. these "organizations 1,500
men , and the'y are' likely to be
greatly extended. I. recommend such
legislation and appropriations as will en
courage and develop this movement. The ,
recommendations of the secretary will. I
"
do not doubt , receive the friendly" consid
eration of congress , for he fa ? * o o'vcd.

may not now be Stayed.
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Tlio Wort in the Indian Uurena
in the execution of the policy of recent
legislation has been largely directed to
two chief purposes ; first , the allotment of
lands in severally to the Indians and the
cession of surplus lands , and , secondly , to
the work of educating the Indians for
their own protection , for close contact with
white men and for the intelligent exercise
of his new citizenship.
The Cherokee Strip.
The work of the interior department al
ways very burdensome , has been larger
than ever before during the administra
tion of Secretary Noble !
Several important agreements for the
cession of Indian lands negotiated by the
Iowa commission appointed under the act
of March 2,1SSO , are awiifrmg rho action of
congress. Perhaps the most important of
these is that for the cc jon of the Chero
kee strip. It will bo noticed that it is con
ditioned upon its ratiliriition by congress
before March 4,1893. Tin- secretary ol the
interior who has given the subject careful
thought , recommends the ratification of
the agreement. It is certain that some ac
tion by which this controversy s-hall bo
brought to an end and the lauds upuued to
settlement is urgent.
Alnslca.
The form of government provided by
congress on May 17,1884 , for Alaska , was ,
in its frame and purpose , temporary. The
increase of population and the develop
ment of some important mining and com
mercial interests , make it imperative that
the law should be revised and better pro
vision made for the arrest and punishment
of criminals.
The Court of Private I.nml Claims.
established for the promotion of the
Eolicy of speedily contested land titles ,
making satisfactory progress.
Pensions.
The passage of what is known as the debil
ity law , has. as was foreseen , very largely
increased the annual disbursements to the
disabled veterans of the civil war. The esti
mate for this fiscal year was SHlt93GOOd. and
that amount was appropriated. A doliciency
amounting to SlO.OoS.KJl must be provided for
at this session. The estimates for pensions for
the fiscal year ending June 30,1894 Js 8165,000-
000. The commissioner of pensions believes
that it the present legislation and methods
are maintained and further additions to the
pensions are not made , the maximum expend
iture for pensions will bo reached June r 0 ,
1894 , and will be at the highest point , $188,000-
000 per annum.
The Union Puclflo Railway.
In my last annual message I called
attention to the fact that some
executive action was necessary in order
to protect the interest of the gov
ernment in its relations with the Union Pacific
railway. The commissioner of railroads has
submitted a very full report , giving exact In
formation as to the debt , the liens upon the
company's property and its resources. I
recommended in my last annual message that
a commission be appointed to deal with this
question and I renew that recommendation
and suggest that the commission be given full
power.
AGRICULTURE.
Progressive 'Work.
The report of the secretary of agricul
ture contains not only a most interesting
statement of the progressive and valu
able work d one under the administra
tion otSscretaiy Rusk but many suggestions
for the enlarged usefulness of this important
department.
The total trade in hoc products with Europe
in May , 1803 , amounted to 82,000,000 pounds ,
agoiast 40,900,000 in the same month of 1891.
Over 40,000,000 pounds of Inspected pork have
boon exported since the law was put into
operation , and a comparison of tna four
months of May , June , July and August , 1892 ,
with the same months of 1691 shows an in
crease In the number of pounds of our
export of pork products Ot 62 per cent ,
and an increase in value of 604 per cent.
The exports of dressed beef Increased
from 187,000,000 pounds in 1889 to 220,500.000
pounds in 1893 , or about GO per cent. During
the past year there have boon exported 391-
eOT head of cattle , against 205,766 exported In
1839.
1839.The department of agriculture has labored
with great energy and faithfulness to extlr-
ate pleuro-pneumoia , and ont he 20th day of
§ eptember last a public announcement was
made by the secretary , of the disease , that It
no longer exutea fmnrn tne unitea states.
Agricultural products constitute 71.1 per
cent of oar unprecedented exports for the
fiscal year , xvhloh closed June 30 , 1893. The
total exports being $1,630,287,080. and the value
of the agricultural products $793,717,078 , which
exceed by more than 8130.000,000 the shipment
of agricultural products in any previous year.
Quarantine Regulations
should ba uniform at all our ports. Under the
constitution they are plainly within tbe ex
clusive federal iunfidioUon when and so far
as congress shall legislate. In my opinion the
irhoio subject should be taken into national
control and adequate power given to the ex
ecutive to protect people against plague in
vasions. On the first or September lalt. lap-
proved regulations esubushinjl a twenty-day
Quarantine for all vessels bringing immi
grants from foreign ports. This order will be
continued in force.
Protection for Railroad Employes.
In renewing the recommendation which I
have made m three preceding annual mes
sages that congress should legislate far pro
tection of railroad employes against the
dangers incident to the old andlnideuuato
methods of braking and coupling , where still
in use upon freight business , I do BO with the
hope that this congress may take action on
the subject.
The "World's Fair.
The report of the World's Columbian expo
sition has not been submitted. That of the
board of management of the government ex
hibit has been received and is Herewith trans- .
milted. The work of construction and of
preparation for the opening of the exposition
La May next has progressed most satisfactorily
and upon a scale of liberality and magnin-
cence that will worthily sustain the honor of
the United States.
Election Abuse * .
I have in each three annual messages which
it has been my duty to submit to congress
called attention to the evils and dangers con
nected with our election methods and
practices as they are related to the
choice of officers of the national
gove.'nmcnt. In my last annual message I
endeavored to invoke serious attention to the
evils of unfair apportionments for congress.
I cannot close this message without again
calling attention to these grave and threaten
ing evils. * * * * * * * *
The Frequent Iyncliin s
of colored people accused of crime Is without
the excuse which has sometimes been urged
by mobs , for a failure to pursue the appointed
methods for the punishment of crime , that
the accused have an undue influence over
courts and juries. Such acts are a reproach
preach to the community where they
occur , and so far as they can be made
subject of f deral Jurisdiction the strongest
repressive legislation is demanded. A public
sentiment that will sustain the officers of the
law in resisting mobs and protecting accused
persons in their custody should be promoted
by every possible means.
This Exhibit of the Wort
of the executive departments is submitted to
congress and to the public in the hope that
there will be found in it a due sense of respon
sibility and an earnest purpose to maintain
the national honor and to promote the happi
ness and prosperity of all our people. And
this brief exhibit or the growth aud prosperity
of the country will give us a level from which
to note the increase or decadence that new
legislative policies may brine to us. There is
no reason why the nation.il Influence , power
and prosperity should not observe the rates of
increase that they have character
ized the post thirty years , and we
carry the great impulses and increase
of these years into the future. There is no
reason why in many lines of production we
should not surpass all other nations as wo
have already done in some. There are no
near frontiers to our possible devlopment.
Retrogration would be a crime.

BALLAD OF A JESTER.
When beards were brown that now are frore.
Above the salt I used to bit ;
Now , at life's feast , I am no more
Than yon poor dog that turns the nplt
I could go mad to think of it :
Although forever In minecars ,
Kings an old rhyme that oncu was writ ,
" 'Twill matter naught In fifty years. "
When flagons with Rhine wine ran o'er.
And tongues wagged fuel , aud lumps were lit ,
I "eel the table In a roar"
With many a shaft of wanton wit ;
The king would cry in boist'rous fit.
Wliilo walls and roof tree rang v. ith cheers ,
"Good cousin , never heed the hit ,
'Twill matter naught in fifty years. "
I loved a maid In days of yore.
And thought to win the saucy chit , !
Despite the "motley s > uit" I wore ;
( Alack , how far my fancies hill )
The damsel cared for mo no whit ,
And 1 got naught lint japes and jeers
That chafed mo like a jennet's bit ,
'Twill matter nought in fifty years.
Head weary am I and heartsorc ;
I meet cold welcomes , and biihmit
Like him that hath not paid his score.
The tapster will no more admit.
Life's raveled threads the fates unknlt.
And soon , with fardels aud with tears ,
And cap and bells I shall-bo .quit ;
'Twill matter nought In fifty years.
Friends , though the grave gapes like a pit.
And mirth takes wing when grief appears ,
Bear bravely what the heavens permit ;
'Twill matter much in fifty years.

Cold Water Injures Plants.
Guard against the application of colder
or hard water to the roots of plants , and
especially in the winter months , when
there has been a heavy fall of snow , hailer
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
; hen becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course of things , and the plants are sure
; o suffer a check at the roots that , in the
case of camellias , for instance , would
) e quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
! am always very careful that the water
n our tanks is a few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in suc
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be
holding a sickly plant one mildewed or
with rust on the foliage that it must
lave been subjected to a draft or cur
rent of cold air , whereas the probable
cause was the use of cold water , which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two ap-
) lications of cold water to winter cu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
heir pods. Exchange.
Ordering Ills Own Tombstone.
A countryman called on a sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered a tombstone in the
hape of a cross , and gave full instruc-
ions as to the lettering and the date of
he decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed , however , to
turn up at the day appointed , and the
culptor wrote to remind him of his
promise. The other day the man turned
ip at last , but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that a gypsy woman had told
lim that he would die on the day which
le had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross ; the prophecy had not , however ,
come true , and he now wanted to take
away the monument , but without the
date. Deutsche "Warte.
Paving Streets ivltli Cork.

men pressed into blocks , and which are
aid like bricks or wood paving , the spe
cial advantage secured being that of
elasticity. In roadways it furnishes a
ine foothold for horses , and at the same
ime does away to a great degree with

city traffic. In Australia this method
las been resorted to with excellent re

in Oakland , Cal. , possesses two medals
one given by the queen and the other by
the khedive of Egypt , for bravery on
the battlefield. Sir. Parker took part in
the march with Wolseley across the
desert to Khartoom to relieve Gordon.
A measure of eagerness , and even of
something very like impatience , is a
pretty good characteristic of young pee
ple. Boys and girls , young men and
maidens , ought to he wise , hut not with
old men's wisdom.
The only specimen of fossilized or pet

THE wide discropam-y in tlio

The Commercial Advertiser has it
in one place that lie was the rich
est maiv on earth and that ho left
$250,000,000 behind him. In
another place' they estimate his
fortune at § 05,000,000. The
World estimates it at 800,000,000 ,
he Tribune thinks that $100,000-
100 is the outside figure and gives
in estimate of his holdings of rail-
oad properties to prove it , and
Mr. Washington Connor , his life
eng friend and broker , assorts that
t is IP.SS than that figun- . The
n'obability is that Mr. Gould's
brtuiie has always been less than
he public has estimated it , and
: hat it is IPSS than a hundred mil-
ions. This leaves quite a iium-
ier of people in this country and
Europe with more money than ho.
he actual values of railroad pro-
) erties which are continually iluc-
: unting is a matter of guess work ,
vhile the capitalist who has his

can be pretty closely summed up.
Journal.
THE report of the secretary of
var reveals the fact that , while we
nay be warlike we are not a inili-
i
; ay people. We are accustomed
; o speak respectfully of our "gal-
ant little regular arrny , " but we
is a people see little of it and care
ittle for it. Arrny service is so
ittle sought by capable young
men that 72 per cent of those
offering enlistment are rejected.
We maintain at West Point what
s believed to be the finest military
chool in the world , yet vacancies
n the list of cadets constantly ex-
st and the secretary recommends
measures for recruiting the cadet
corps. It is plain that the Ameri
can young man does not care to
'go for a soldier" even though he
s sure of being an officer , and the
' of noncommissioned
n'ospect being a -
sioned officer is no allurement what
ever. The secretary recommends
; hat the American soldiers' pay ,
already the largest given in all
, he auaiies of the world , be "slight-
y increased" . But the secretary
limself probably believes , like the
average citizen , that when the
> inch conies the "man of the hour"
vill be the volunteer.
