It would bo unfair, perhaps, to say that the leading fonture in President Cleve Jand's message is its extreme length. That it is unnecessarily long in the dis cpssion of subjeots of comparatively trifling importanes, and abbroviated in the treatment of topics of paramount i terest most will agree. Columns are de- voted to r foreign relations while the tariff excapes with comparatively a few words, The department reports each roc attention in turn, and are reproduced in great part with exceutiv endorsements of their recommendations. In the inter minable repetitionsof the first half of the message, which deals with our foreign ations, the principal points of interest he pressdent’s romarks upon inter- nic canals and the Chinese question, Mr. Cloveland deelines in advanco to en dorse any messire looking to control of the isthmus by this government with the attendant responsibility of guarantecing the integrity of the neighboring South American republics. He favors a nal or a ship railway whoso neutrality shall bo preserved by the joint guarvantees of the leading governments of the world. While denouncing the Rock Springs and Washington territory Chinese tronbles, the president endorses the exclusion act, and points to the laws of Canada, which are more rigid than our own in restrict- ing Celestial immigration. Mr. Cleveland devotes very little space to the question of the tariff, but his views so far as ex- prossed, will commond themselyes to pub- lic attentlon. He urges the neeessity of a reduction in the trousury surplus through A rednetlon in the duties on the nec sities of life, which are consumed in every home. He rightly remarks that the issue isnot that of protection or fr trade, but of needless taxation and un nes ry expense in the cost of living. In considering the silver question the president fotlows elosely In- the footsteps of the seeretary of the treasury, and en- tors into a labored but interesting argu- ment for the repeal of the coinage bill, 1t is bused chiefly on the admitted depre- ciation in silver, its accumulation in Washington, and tho failure of negotia- tions for the renewal of coinage by the Latin union. Mr. Cleveland denies that it s the province of the gov- ernment to furnish & market through the coinage for the product of the mines, especinlly when by so doing it depreciates the yalue of the circuluting medium of the country. Much | is devoted to showing that cheap money means poor money, und that the burden of a depreerted coinage falls most heav- ily on the wor! through the decline in the purchasing power of the dollur and the attendant rise in the prices of commodities. The president Goncludes this part of the mcESnge by urging the repeal of the coinage act of 1878, In eommenting upon the report of the seere- tary of war, Mr. Cleveliand recommends shorter torms of enlistments for privates and heavier penalties for defertion; the punishment of minor oflenses by supcrior officers without court-martial proceod- Ings; a reform in the findings of court- murtials, which show a low standard of honor in some quarters. He urges a rebuililing of the savy ns demanded by tho country, but commends a thorough reorgunization of the department before any large expenditures are mado, In bis treatment of the Utuh problem M Clevelund sounds no uncertain note in declaring that polygamy must go und that violntors of the luws mast be pun- ished. He vocommonds further legisla- $ion to wipe out this “foul blot” from the famo of the country, and romises his oordial co-operatic, Tho prosident gommeny the recommendations of Lund Lommissioner Sparks regarding the sup- pression of speculation in public lands, advises the allotment of portions of the Fosorvations in sovernlty to the In- dinns, and concludes with an app for the prese ion of civil ser Criticism in detail of such a ponderous dogument s impracticabls. Tukon us whole, the messige is a3 exhaustip 8 oxhaustive. In incorporating w its puges the entive veport of the seeretary of stato, Mr. Clevehmd hus set n bad precedent and overyeighted the docu® wout.

The case was procisely what it is now. If Arthar had died the govern- ment would have lived without unarehy till congress met, when the senate cloct siding oflicr in_ the person of Mr. Tharman, who would have become presi dent. Such cant about unarchy we, confidence in our governmental system, There is a notable coincidencs con- nected with this metter, The niversal practice, till Arthur's time, was, ns is woll known, tor the vice president o day or two before the close of the session to notify the senate that he will he absent for the remainder of the term, so that it m lent pro tempore, and thus there would be an acting vice-pres ident in ease of a vacancy in that oftice, I'believe Arthur was the first, at lesst for o long time, to disregard that practico, and henee he gave no opportunity for the senate o eleet o president Yru tempore and no one wis chosen. G Id died on or ubout the wrd of September, 1881 making Arthur president. The very con’ tingency had then oecurred to provide for which thoe senate had always pro- viously cleeted a president pro temporo, but ‘which it had wow failed to do.
