nueis so apparent' us to bo generally con-
reded , but the mc-.jjis by which tins oml shall
bo accomplished and ( he sum of direct bone-
lit wiiich Hhnll result to our cill/.ens present a
controversy of the utmost Importance. Tliero
nhoiild be no schema accepted as satisfactory
lv , which the burdens of the people are only
npptuoiitly removed. Kxtravagaut appropri
ations of public money , with all their demor-
nlUtog consequence , should not bo tolerated
cither as u means of relieving the treasury of
Its present surplus or as furnishing pretexts
for icslstlng a proper reduction In tariff
rates. Kxibting evils and injustice should ho
honestly rccognl/c-d , boldly met and elToct-
ivoly remedied. There should be no cessa

while it provides tor our manufacturerH the

It cannot ; be denied that thu wolfish and
I jirivato interests which nro so persistently
i licard when oiTorts are made to deal in a just
l" und comprehensive way with our turliT
laws , are related to If they are
not responsible for the sentiment largely
prevailing among the people that the general -
oral government is the fountain of individ
ual and private aid ; that it may bo expected
to rellcVo with paternal oaro the distress of
rlli/cns and communities , and that from the
fullness of Its treasury it should , upon the
Hllghtcst possible pretext of promoting the
flonoral good , apply public funds to the ben

Nor can it be denied that Onerc is a grow
ing assumption that , as against , the govern
ment nnd In favor of private claims and in-
tctrests , the usual rules and limitations of
business principles and just dealings should
lie waived. These Ideas have been unhappily
jnucli encouraged by legislative acUicscencc. ( |
Uellef from contniots made witli the govern
ment is too easily acceded In favor of
the citizen ; the failure to support
claims against the government by
proof , Is often supported by no bolter consid
eration than the wealth of the government
nml the poverty of the claimant. Gratuities
in the form of pensions arc granted upon
other real ground than the needy condition

to which the consideration of such matters

Figures of the Treasury For the Past

Taking up the report of the secretary of

- clpts from all sources for the fiscal year us-
seeded these of the preceding ono by $7SO-
270,710 , while the expenditure show a do-
2ro.uo of fS'tf.SSJ.OJO , and that
the estimated surplus of ISS'J U 10l- ,
300,000 and of ISM is flO.lW.i'.l.llW .
The requirements of the sinking fund act ,
lie continues , have been met for the year
undod Juno 30,1883 , mid for the current year
nUo , by the purchase of bonds. After com-
; > iyiuj ; with tills law , us positively required ,
and bonds Miflleient for that purpose tint
been bought at premium. It waft not doomed

At llrst sight this would seem to be 11
profitable nnd seusiblo transaction on tin
part ofthc govcrmnd'N ' , as suggested by the
secretary of the treasury. The surplus thus
expended for the purchase of bonds was
nionoy drawn frouj the people in excess o

and was so expended rather thai
allow it In remain idlein tin
treasury. If this surplus , under the oporn
tion of jiint uud equitable huv.s , had been
left in the hands of thu people , it would have
been worth in their business at le.ist 0 pel

amount of Interest on the principal and pre
miuin of these bonds for the tune they liai
to run nt the i ate of 0 | er cent , the saving ol
" per cent made for the people by the jitir
chase of such bonds , the loss would appeal
to be &V > ,7ti,010. ! ) , This calculation woulc
seem to demonstrate that if excessive am
unnecessary taxation Is continued , and th (
government is forced to pursue thh policy o
purchasing Its own bonds at Ihe premiums
which Itill bo necessary to pay , the loss to
the people will be hundreds of millions o !
dollars. Ilo further concurred with tne
recommendation to the secretary to suspend
the coining of silver.

Speaking of the Apache Indians , whoso

and ISMi , and who are now held as prisoners
of war at Mount Vurnou barracks , Ala
bama , the president suvs :
1 am not at all in sympathy with these be-
nevnlcnt but injudicious people who are con
stantly insisting that these Indians should bo
icturncd to the reservation. Their removal
was an absolute necessity if the lives and
propeity of citizens upon the frontier nro to
be .it till regarded by the government , and
their continued restraint at a distance from
the scene of their r'Ptyoatod and cruel mur
ders and outrages 'is still necessary. It ii
mistaken philanthropy , in every way injur
ious , which prompts'tuo dcsiro to see these
savages returned to their oU haunts. These
prisoners should be treated kindly and kept
in restraint far from tin1 locality of their
former reservation ; they should be subjected
to elToi is calculated to lead to their improve
ment , and to the sottc-nin ? of their savage
and cruel instincts ; but. their return to Mioir
old home should bo persistently resisted.

The report of thg , secretary of the navy
demonstrates very , intelligent management
in that important tfciurtmcnt and discloses
the most satisfactory progress in the work of
reconstructing the navy during tbo past year.
Of the ships in course of construction , five ,
viz : the Charli3toii.B.iUimore ; , Yorktown ,
Vesuvius and the Petrel have in that time
been launching nud are rapidly approaching
completion , and in addition to the above , the
Philadelphia , the San Fraiicisco.lbei-Jewark.
the Bcnnington , Concord and the Horres.sliof
torpedo boat are under contract for delivery
to thu department during the next year.
The progress already and belli , * made , gives
good ground for the expectation that thc.se
vessels will be incorporated as part of the
American navy within the next twelve
months.
At thu present time about 30 per cent of
the total departmental purchases are made
by contract , and alter competition , as tne
expenditures on this account exceed on an
average of $2,000,000 annually , it is evident
that an important improvement in the sys
tem has baen inaugurated and substantial
economics Introduced.

The report of the postmaster general
shows a marked incrcasoof business in every
branch of the postal service. The number
postonieos on July 1 , ivis , was 3r'ird , an in-
crcnsuof U,12I ! in three years , nnd of ' 3,919
for the la&t fiscal year. The latter men
tioned increase Is classified as follows : New
England status 5 , middle states Ibl , southern

states and territories of the P.icilie coast

total 2ai'J. '
During , the past ycar parcel post conven
tions have been concluded with Itarbiidocs ,
the liahauias , British Honduras and Mexico ,
and are now under negotiation with all thu
Central and South American states. The in
crease of correspondence with foieign coun
tries during the past three ycar.s Is gratify
ing , and is especially notable and exceptional
with the Central and South American states
mil with Mexico. As tbo greater part of
mill imittor exchanged with these countries
s commercial in its character , this increase
s evider.C-J of the improved business rela
tions with them. In Janii iry last a goueral
test convention was negotiated with the Do-
niuion of Canada , which went Into opera-
, ion on March 1 , and which practically makes
one postal territory of the United States ami
Canada. Under It inerclmndlso parcels may
mw bo transferred through thu malls at

which a uniform standard in the amount of

I cannot too strenuously insist upon the
mportanco of proper incafiuros to insure a
ight disposition of oW public lands , not only
as u inuitur of present justice but in forecast
of the consequence tq1. future generations ,
i'ho broud , rich acres' of our agricultural
Mains have been loni preserved by naturu to
iccomu her untrammofyd gift to a people

with the warning example In our eyes of the
untull of iniquities in landed proprietorship
which other countries have permitted and
still suffer.
Wo have no cxcuso for the violation of
irinoiples , cogently taught bj reason and ex
implo , nor for the allowance- pretexts
which have sometimes exposed our lauds to
colossal greed , Laws which open the deere

our national welfare nnd humanity

shod.
It is gratifying to know that r.omcthln ?
ms bcc-n done ut least to rodross. the injuries
to our people and check the perilous ten
dency of the reckless waste of thu national
domain.
Our dear oxpcrlenco ought sufficiently to
irgo the spauily ounctment of ineubiiroj of
ogialution which will con line vho future dis
of our remaining agricultural lands
to use of actual husbandry and genuine
homes. Nor should our Vast tracts of so-
culled desert lands bo yielded up to the
ni'Minpolj of I'orpor.itums or grasping Indl
viiliials. us appears to be much the tendency
uud'T the existing statute. Th" lands re-
qtnrc but the suppl.of wnlor to become
ferule and productive. U Is a problem of
greit moment how most wisely , for the
public Rood , Unit factor shall ho furu'uhed I
< annul but think it perilous to suffer either
thcM1 lands or the sources of ttioir irrigation
to fall Into the hands of monopolies , which ,
by such menus , mav excrcisu lordship over
acres dependent on their tieatment for pro
ductiveness. Already steps have been
taken to secure accurate and scientific
in format Ions of the emidiliom , which Is the
prime basis of Intelligent action. Until this
shall be gained , the course of wisdom ap
pears clearly to lie In n sttspcuMo'i of further
disposal , which only promises to create rights
antagonistic to the common Interest. No
harm can follow this precautionary conduct.
The laud will remain , and the public peed
presents tin demands for busty dispossession
of national ownership and control.
I commend also the recommendations that
aiipropriati' measures he tuhem to complete
the adjustment of the various grants to the
states for Internal improvements and of
swamp and overflowed lands as well us to
adjudicate ami finally determine thu validity
and extent of thu mimeroiii private land
claims. All these are elenients of great in
justice und peril to the settlers upon thu
localities effected.
The conditions of Indian nlTalrs testifies to
the value of the higher tuneof consideration
and humanity which has goveinud the later
meUio.l of dealing with tlieui , and commend
Its continued observance. Allotments in
severally Imvo been me. lu on some
reservations , until all those entitled
to laud theieon have had their
shares assigned , and the work Is slill
continued. In directing the execution of
this uuty , I have not alined so much at rapid
dispatch as to secure Just and fair nrrangu-
iiieuls , which shall best conduce to the ob
jects of thu law , by pioducing satisfaction
with the results of the allotments made. No
measure of general effect has over been entered -
tored on from which inoro may bo fairly
hoped , if it shall bo discreetly administered.
It proffers opportunity to that independence
of spirit and llfo which the Indian peculiari
ties need , Wildcat thu Hamu time , the ina
lienability of title affords security against
the risks bis inexperience of affairs or weak
ness of character may expose him to in deal
ing with others , Whenever begun upon nnv
reservation , it should be made comnletu , so
that all nro brought to the samu condition ,
und as soon as possible community in lands
should cease by opening such as ronum un
allotted to settlement. Contact with the
wavs of industrious and successful farmers ,
will , perhaps , " add a healthy emulation ,
which will both instruct and stimulate. Hut
no agency for the amelioration of this people
ple appears to mo so promising as the extension -
tension , urged by the secretary , of such com
plete facilities of education as shall at
the earliest possible day embrace ! all
touchable Indian youths of both sexes ,
and retain them witli a kindly and bcncllccnt
bold until their characters are formed and
their facilities and dispositions trained for
such pursuits.
The Sioux tribes on the great reservation
of Dakota refused to assent to the act passed
by thu. congress at its ln t session for opening
a portion of their lands to their settlement ,
notwithstanding a modification of the terms
was suggested , which met most of their ob
jection. It is at least gratifying that no reproach
preach of over-reaching caniii.uny manner
bo made against the government , however
advisable tlio favorable completion of the ne
gotiation may have been esteemed.
1 am thoroughly convinced that our gen
eral pension laws should bo revised and ad
justed to meet as far as possible in the light
of our cxp'-riencp all meritorious cases. Thu
fact that 10 J different rates of pensions are
paid , cannot In my opinion DC made consist
ent with justice to the pensioners or lo the
government ami the numerous private pen
sion bills passed , predicated upon the imper
fection of general laws , while they in
crease in many cases existing inequality
and injustices , lead additional force
to tlio recjiiimciidation for revision of the
general laws on tins bubject.
'Tho laxity of ideas prevailing among a
largo number of our people regarding pen
sions is becoming every day more marked.
Tne principles upon which they should bo
granted are in danger of being altogether
ignored , and already pensions are often
clamu'd bceiuisu the applicants arc as much
entillcd as other successful applicants rather
than upon any disability reasonably attribut
able to military service. If the establishment
ot various precedents bo continued , the
granting of pensions bu not divorced from
partisan and other unworthyaiKl irrovolunt
considerations , and if the honorable namu of
veteran unfairly bucomua by thuso means
but another term for one. who constantly
clamors for the aid of the government , there
is danger that injury will bu done to the
fiimo and patriotism of many whom our citi
zens all delight to honor , and that it prejudice
will be aroused unjust to meritorious appli
cants for pensions.
The adjustment of the relations between
the government and the railroad companies ,
which have received land grants und the
guaranty of the public credit in aid of the
construction of their roads , should receive
early attention. The report of a majority of
the commissioners appointed to examine thu
aiTaiis and indebtedness of these roads , in
winch they favor an extension of Uio limo
for the payment of such iiulubtodnuss , in at
least ono case , whore the corporation appears
to be able to comply with well guarded und
exact terms of such extension , aud the re-
enforcement of thuir opinion by gentlemen of
undoubted business judgment and experi
ence appointed to protect the interests of the
government as directors of said corporation ,
may well load to the belief that such an ex
tension would be to the- advantage of the
government. The subject should be treated
is a business proposition , with a view to the
final realisation of its indebtedness by the
government , rather than as u quos-
Jon to bu decided upon prejudice or
liy way of punishment lor pre
vious wrong doing. The suggestions
.ho commissioners of the District of Colum
bia make touching dcsirubli. amendments to
ho laws relating to license- granted for car-
yiiifr on the retail trufllo in spirituous liq-
ior.sto ; the observance of Sunday ; to the
iropar assessment and collection of taxes ;
.o the speedy punishment of minor otTendors ,
ind to the management of the reformatory
mil cliaritablu institutions supported by
congressional appropriations , are commended
.o care and consideration.

Tin : Hi-E.l-The London MorningPoM , com
mentlng on the prc id nfs message , says-
"It America Is rcallj inclined to resume
negotiations on the subject of the fisheries
it will find Uie Luglish minister animated
only h.v n smcire desire to promote ttio Una
nnd satisfactory adjustment which Mr. Cleve
land mentions , \Vlnlo unable to hold the
( . line- opinion as Mi. Cleveland us to what tin
grc.it demaudji of the country are , flic Post
thinks that it would bj belter if England
would look to Iho disposition of Aiucncau
statesmen lu the future than to wrangle u\cr
the piut. "
The Dally News says that It would express -
press more regret for Mr. Cleveland's
acrl'nonious reference to the dismissal of
Lord SncUvilU' . it Lord Salisbury had not
set the example. Mr. Cleveland , It thinks ,
evidently has Lord Salisbury's fatal gift of
u hitter tongue. In other respects the nios-
siigo seems to bo thu most powerful per
formance which the president has accom
plished , tiamoly , tlto feat , of saying some
thing both new ami fruo about protection.
The Xow.s further remarks that the message
is likely to become a household word for the
orators of llvdo Park und Ulorkon-
well. The fisheries quest Ion , It thinks ,
will have n smaller chance for settlement
under Mr. Harrison than under Mr. Cleveland -
land , but , having only ono grn.-it party to
please , the clumces for the judgment on Its
merits may bo greatly Improved.
The Chronicle aajs : "President Cleve
land uses strong but true language about
protection. In regard to the Saekvlllo mat
ter , it Is satisfying to llnd that ho refers to It
as an occurrence to bo deeply regretted.
This is In marked contrast to Lord Salis
bury's flippant sarcasm. Wo hope that Lord
Salisbury will consider It a sulllcient reason
to appoint a successor to Lord Sackvillc
without delay , "
The Standard says ; "President Cleve
laud's inpimigo might have been more grae
ions and dignified if he could only have
effaced from Ins resolution the uiiMieecHsful
election coup which sullied an otherwise
honorable re-cord. We1 did not expect to llnd
him repealinir his original error to show
that he was ashatiu-d of himself. "
After quoting referenceto the
Sackville matter In the message the
Standard proceeds In n similar strain , and
through sentence after sentence of solemn
froth : "Englishmen , " it sajs , "can alTor.l
to smile at such piferlle nonsense. Kvcn
Americans will not pretend to take it la
good earnest. Doubtless Lord Sackville
was technically wrong , but Ministers Lowell
and Phelps committed tlictiihelvcs the biime
way , though not m the sumo degree , scores
of times in tbolr addresses to Hiiglishmon ,
which wore read with much edification and
not the smallest tracu of resentment. " The
Standard thinks thu fislicrmri question now
has a chance of being Bellied.
