THE PRE I DEC'S MESSAGE.
Ptestdent Arthur's first message
will bo clashed among the ablest nnd
most compruhunsivo state pnpurs that
have ever omnnalcd fiom the pen of
nny national chief executive. It em
bodies the views held by the presi
dent on nearly every measure and
qt'tistioti with hih congress will be
ctiled on to grapple during his admin
istration. It pri'HCtiU to the American
people a compict review of thu opor.ii
lions of every department of govern-
mutit and contains many timely and
wlioleao'iio lecommondations that can
not foil to command popitlnrapproval.
While wu cannot give nn unqualified
uiidorarmunt tt ovary rocoinmondiilion
made by the president , his mcjsigo iw
n whole cannot bo too hiuhly com
mended for its cniulor and breadth
Aniont , ' the moU striking features of
the president's message nro his recom
mendations for the abolition of all
internal revenue taxe.s uxcupt those
imposed on the fnlo and ninnufaturo
of tobacco and lujuora , his undoreo-
moiit of Postmaster ( ioneral James'
[ iroject for postal uavingi banks and
reduced letter pontage , his urgent up-
po.il to congruen to enact laws to dc-
line presidential inability , provide
safeguards for the caiivun'i of tliu
ulectotal vote1 , dovisu measures for thu
suppression of polygamy in the ter-
ritoiies , reconsturct our navy and to-
orKani/.u thu United SLutes judiciary.
Thu solution of the Indian problem
receives moro than usual attention and
in the main ia viewed from the stand
point of proceeding atlministrations.
The president reiterates the sentiments
expressed in his inaugural relative to
the civil service which substantially
proclaims thatiiicompotent 111011 ( should
not bo appointed to oflico nnd unfaith
ful oflicors should bo dismissed , but ho
fails to point out how eflicicncy in ap
pointments can bo most effectively
secured , nor does ho touch upon the
vital rpjuation upon which both of liis
predecessors differed so radi
cally with the majority of
congress as to the prerogative of the
president to make appointments to
oflico and the demand of congressmen
nnd senators to contiol patronage. On

. ! A KANSAS EPIDEMIC
Since the time whan the dreaded
diacaso of "corebrospinal monihgotis"
irst appeared on the scone to frighten
patients into convulsions and to afford
a safe refuge behind which medical
gnoranco could conceal itsulf , nothing
quito so extraordinary has occurred aa
the "boil on the arm" epidemic which
ia now swooping through every county
in Kansas and attacking all classes of
persons without respect to size , sex or
color. The insidious nature oftho
disease , its singular origin and the
rapidity with which it is di.ssominat-
inn itself has put o"ory doctor in the
state at lopgcrheads and broken up
four hitherto harmonious medical socie
ties. The Lcavunworth medical socie
ty nt their October mooting appointed
a committee of nix to investigate the
causes and nature of this extraordina
ry epidemic the history of it's course
as a disease and the remedies which
have proved most elllcacious in arrest
ing its progress. Thuir report which
WIIH presented at the last mooting of
thu organi/.Uion must bo of absorbing
interest to every Katisan no lesi to
our Nebraska people on the Kanias
border.
Tour members of tlio committee
presented a majority report giving the
following singular facts. It appears
that the firs aymptoms of "boil dn
the nrm' ' put in theirnppoarancu
shortly after the passage of the pro
hibition amendment to the Kansau
constitution nnd its enforcement in
the town of Emporia. Dr. Nobles
who is practisingphysiqian in that
sequestered little villngo reports that
tin August lOih n workman named
Glodd applied to him for medical
treatment , Upon examination ho
discovered that ho wns suffering from
n Bovore case of "boil on thu nrm"
which ho stated had fii-at exhibited
itsulf upon the day inliich the loca ]
saloons had been closed. Doctor
Nobles immediately prescribed
"dpiritus frumunti" nnd bottled bcur
in , largo medicinal , dosi-j with im
mediate effect. Dotwcon August 10th
nnd August Sfitli ton pints of , " piritus
frumunti" and thitty bottles of beer
wore administered nttho und of which
time the disuaao disappeared. Tlio
most singular circumstance connected
with the case is the rapidity with
which other localities in Lyon county
become innoculntGd with the discaso.
It swept through Kniporin like wil'-
lire , Inking jw its ' aconi }
victim "Iho" worthy doctor anil
invading the homes and arms of near-
ly every prominent citixun in tin-place.
From Kmporia it lotiDod to Morton ,
Atticitft nnd Hartford nnd within the
space of two works eight hundru'i
residents of Lyor.a county were suffer
ing from the "boil on the arm" epi
demic and nllnying < huir pain by medi
cinal closes of "spiritus frumunti" and
bottled beer. The inijorily report of
the Lu.ivonworth Mo.lical Society
states tint in thuir investigation into
tlio disoiso they thomielvcn bocamu
affected and foiled that tfio only reme
dy which at all met the roqiiirciirjntM
of the occision wns the original one
uiod by Djctor Noble i. Thuy ropott
that "boil uii thu nrm" is without
doubt a unique disease which had it *
C.UHO in prohihitory legislation , and
close their report censuring ( oV'
crnor St. John fur his Attitude on n
question whoso otiforcumt'iit h.w
canned severe bodily pain to a lurgu
number of prominent Knnsns.
Tlio minority report tike n very
different nt.itid. Their opinion is im
phntic nnd expressed in fuw word * , ni
follows : "Uoil on Arm , " bosh. Cau < u
thirat. Itemody , close drug Htons
This report was evidently so bi.iaud by
thu peculiar opinioim of the minority
that it was voted down by nn over
whelming vote nnd t'io majority re
port accepted.
Kansas can now rjjoicu over hiving
discovered n now disuaso , invuitigi-
ted the C.UIHJ and found out a rumedy.
Horoaftcr "boil on the arm" will take
its placu in the list of human ailinoutii
caused by prohibitory legislation and
and which can only bo at all miccesi-
fully mot under tbo operations of thu
saving clause "apiritun fruiaonti" for
"medicinal "
purposes.
Jt'nac POIITKII'H riddling cross-ex
animation of Guituau exposed in its
true light the feigned insanity of the
cowardly assassin. Guiteau may believe -
lievo that he wna predestined by the
Almighty to nhoot the president , but
Lhoro nro a largo number of Ameri
cans who buliuvo that at the same
Limo ho was produstinod to end his
life on the unllows.

CITY OF MEXICO , December 0.
Che Mexican federal government has
ordered an armed foico ot regular
roops to proceed to Jnliaco for the
ostensible purpose of preserving peace
it the polls at the statu election to
comu elf shortly. Tlio Jalisco nows-
i.ipura and Icgulaturo have protested
igninst such action on the part of the
edural authority , the sfnto legislature
going so _ far as to pass a resolution
luthonzing thn L'ovetnor to call out
hu state militia to resist what is
called federal usurpation of btlito pro-
ofHiUvus. Suiious tioublo is antici-
lated. The aboyo fudt-nil interference -
enco with state elections wiis the
cause of tlio recent resignation of Gen-
ural Troyino , secretary of war , the
; enoral in hi.s letter of resignation declaring -
claring Hiich action unconstitutional
nnd if such order was to bo carried
nit his remaining any iongcr in the
cabinet would bo distasteful.

nels of party , but under tlio pros-
icct of a stormy period of ollijo- his
ittitudo of indecinion may bu par
doned.
The Telegraph Bays the message
ireiithes of u spirit of nninity nnd
lope , and it is evident that Pre.iidont
Vrthur aims nta policy of conciliation
ntendod to fortify the party that
iliicod hint in power and lessen the
