— EIGHTEENTH YEAR. THE FAMOUS BENET CIRCULAR 18 the Secretary of War tho Real Author? COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE, Cleveland Accused of Anarchistic Sentiments—Partics Who Aspire to Manderson's Position — Dele- gate Gifford’s Amendment. WasHINGTON BurEAv Tie OMana Bre, 518 FOURTEENTI STRERT, } Wasniseros, D, C., Dee! 8 Around congress to-day there were many conjectures as to what answer will be made by the secretary of war to Senator Hale's resolution, adoptea last October, calling for an explanation of the issuance of the noto rious Benet circular letter, directing the removalof women and children in the arse nals ana armorics, to make room for demo- crats, Genegal Benet toid the correspondent of the Tndianapolis Journal six weeks ago that the circular was issued upon the direc tion, or at the suggestion, of Secretary Endi cott, but he stated subscquently, m order to extricate the sec y from the hole into which he had placed him, that he (Benet) was alone responsible for the ordor, and that he conceived it himsclf. The latter ex planation was made, of course, for the pur- pose of relieving the administration of the odium which the responsibility would cast upon it. Now that there will be no neces sity of shielding the administration, Benet, it is said, feels like vindicating him. self, in order that ke may not be in bad repute with the new administration, me curiosity is expressed as to whether Endi cott or Benet will assume the respousibility, COMMENTS ON THE M1SSAGE. No better commentary on residsut Cleve- land's message could be desired than that given by the members of the house during the reading of the document this afterncon, when the democ ppliauded i fea tures and the republicans hissed other por- tions. n the reference 1o the surplus in the tre s not being mtended to force de was read the democrats immedi began o vigorous applausc and the re publicans gave vent to a stage Liugh that drowned the hand clapping. The contrast between the demonstrationso n the two sides was 80 great that involuntarily almost eve ye turned toward Mrs. Clevelind and her mother, who sat on the front seat m the dip lomatic gallery. 'They looked ser With very few execptions—and those are among the protectionist democrats—opinions as to the merits of the messaze are confined with- in _party lines, Ths democrats - erally are glad that the president has ‘again proclaimed in favor of free trade, and, as Clairman Mills puts it this evening, “are proud to sce the president still fiying the flag of reform.” Mr. Mills does not believe the free trude utterances of the president in his message u year ago had anything to do with the change of public opinion as to the aims of the democratic party, or that they contributed to Mr. Cleve- and’s defeat. He heartily endorses all the president has ever said about tariff reforn and free trade. The two Breckenridges, who are denocratic members of the house coi mittee on ways and means, heartiiy plauded the seatiment of the message as it was read, and declrred that it is the best document ever sent to congress. They, too, are gratified 1o _see that Mr. C ad’s stand on the tariff has not been shaken by the recent election. They join Mr. Mills in decluring that the representatives of the democratic party in congress do notintend to alter or amend the tariff platform, but say it will stand as a land mark for future com paigns. They are in favor of simply reaf- firming the platform in the next struggle for the presidency. Sena- tor KRansom, of rth Carolina, expressed the views of the democrats in the upper brunch of congress when he said: “ltis the ablest of them all, and shows that our Jeader 1s standing by his guns.” The repub- licans in both houses use some very vigorous language in denouncing the message. Sen- ator Allison this evening said: *“It is un patriotic.” The scnator has special refer ence to the second paragraph in the messa: which casts serious doubt upon the wisdom of the foundution of our republie, because it is **founded upon the freedom of the people.” He thinks the president has struck a ve eruel blow at the American form of govern- mem, simply because its citizens did not re- in him in power, Senator Sherman said: “It contains noth ing new, except certain forms of complaint.’ Senator Cullom said: “Mr. Cleveland seems determined to go out with a bluster. He is disappointed, scolds severely an pears to doubt not only the wisdom of the present people, but the framers of our con- stitution.” Representative McKinley, of Ohio, said: “I Qs n post mortem examination of the democratic platform.’ nerul Grosvenor, also of Ohio, said “The message is o motion for a unew trial but the court hus no jurisdiction and the ver dict will have to stand.” “These views give a cood idea of those ex- pressed by ail men in coneress, who have so far given utterance to their opinions of the message. [n some quartdrs there is great indignation over the communistic and an- archistic sentiments of the president, and soveral memvers of congress go €0 far as to suy that Johan Most and his followers can find texts in the president’s message to fire the hearts of their conyerts for years to come. he soldiers are also indignant. They re ard the language of the president, where he rs 10 pensions, as “gratuitios grauted upon no other real ground than the needy condition of the applicant, or for reasons less valid,” as an unncecssary insult to the vet- ns, out they add that ivis only in the line t hie has followed ever since he went to the white bouse, and that in the future it will cause the soldicrs to stand more sulidly together than they have ever stood THE MANDERSON SUCCESSION, All of the Nebraska delegation, with the exception of Congressmen MeShane and Laird, were in their seats at the opening of the session to-day, Senator Manderson and Representative Dovsey baving arrived here several days ago, and Senator Paddock reach ing the city on' Satueday by way of New York. 'There were many inquiries on the floor of the senate respecting the probabil ities of the Manderson succession. The in complete reports, us to the composition of western legislatures, have wade it very difi- cult 1o eastern men to learn the exact situa tion. Scnator Mauderson wus heartily con gratulated over the overwhelming republican majority, which scems 10 assure his re-clec tion, ‘I'he senator himself expressed quict confidence i the outcome o scveral of his friends. He is suid to have intimated that it would ot be necessary for him to return to Nebraska during the legislative session. This is probably the best evidence of the completo satistaction which Senator Manderson feels over the situation. promivent Nebraskapolitician expressed the opinion this evening that there would be at least five seuatorial candidates in the field in the coming coutest in that state, and that among them would be Kepresentative Dorsoy. He named as the contestants, ex- Congressmen Valentine, Judge Crounz, Governor Suunders, Governor Thayer and Judge Reese, of the supreme court, and added that the friends of Judge Groff, of Omaha, were urging strongly upon that gentleman to allow the use of his name. He added, that in bis opinion, the senutorial coutest next Jauuary will' not be entirely devoid of interest, and while General Man derson’s success 4t present ied assured, e might find it to his interest to take trip to Lincoln before the culmiuation of the struggle. GIFFORD'S AMENDMENT, Delegate Gifford, of Dakota, has prepared an amendment to the law, providing for the gpening of the Sioux Indian rescrvation in ebrasks and Dakota, which he will intro duce in the house at once, and will urge its jmmediate adoption, with & View to sectiring tho opening of ‘the reservation gbefore next OMAHA.

He added th he had an intimation, b he was not positive that tue reference would be fay orable to the bill.

The sheriff 's fannly live in o part of the jail. The sheriff is trying to keep the mob off on the plea of having a very sick ehild. Should he succeed in keeping them off the citizens say it is only a matter of time when they will get him, Harry Perdu, another murderer contined in the same juil, will likely sutier the same fate as Witherill, if the mob gains possession of the prisoncrs. ropean War Clouds, Gexeva, Dee. 3.—[Special Cablegram to Tk Bee, |-t is reported that very import ant fortifications are being ercetmd in Savory, outside the neutralized zone of the Pranco Italian frontier.

Unless history is a false teachor, it is not possible for two dis- tinet races, not homogencous —that is, which caunot assimilate by intermarriage and mingling of blood—to exist upon terms of practical political _ equality under the same government, One or the other must 2o to the wall. The time will come when the negroes, aware of their strength and numbers, will insist unon their cquality under the lw, and then there will beu crisis which may become a catastrophe. “Phere is but one practical suggestion that offers any present relief, and that is a national tegislative law, under which every voter should be entered upon the poll lists, and then have the electious under the con trol of supervisors appointed for that pur- pose.

The Champs Elysce, the matinee performances at the theaters, « ts, Antevill r and other fushionable resorts and places of holiday us- sembly were quite as crowded as if nothing extraordinary were happening, and no atten- tion whatever was given to the Baudin dem- onstration by lout Paris. The only peo worthy of attention, except the political cle ment, who were affeeted by the affair, were the smaller shopkeepers along the route, many of whom were even loud in complaint of the absolute ubsurdity of the thing; which without any tangible reason that they could see, compelled them to shut their shops and 10s¢ u good day's busin all for nothing The streets were, to be sure, densely crowded with sight-scers, but they were only the Tower and widdle classes, and their attitude toward Baudin and the whole business was apathetic, The procession itself was half formed of the offscourings of the Puris slums und represented nothing but vicious idlencss on a lark. One immense wreath bore the motto, “A un depute hon- nete,” which was evidently a hit at the Wil son scandals. The celebration from tho point of view of the expectations of the or- ganizers was anything but a success, wnd 8o far as the government s concerned, it is difieult to suy whether its position s im- proved, or the reverse. 1t s rumored thut the affair has caused some dissensions among the ministers, and tat this is likely 1o bring oz a great crisis, This is only the hearsay of the moment. A small demon stration of townspeople oceured yesterduy at Nantua, where Baudin practiced as a_physi- cian before he was elected deputy, The peo ple paid him the homage of decorating bis statue with wreaths. - - The West Virginia Recount, CuarLestox, W.

The Message WasiixGTo, D, C., Dee. 8 ~Pollowing 18 the textof the president’s messago 1o con- gross To the congress of the United states: As you assemble for the discharee of tho duties you have assumed as the representatives of @ tree and wenerous people, your meeting 18 marked by an intoresting and impressive ine cident. With the expiration of the present session of the congress the fivst century of our constitutional — existence as a nation will be completed, Our_survival for one hundred years is not suficiont 10 assure us that we 1o longer have dangors to fear in the maintenance, with il its promised blessing: of a government founded upon the treedom of the people. The time rather ad- monishes us ‘to soberly inguire whetlier in the past we have always closely kept in the course of safety and whether we nave before us o way plain and clear, which leads to happiness and per- petuity. When the experiment of our government was undertaken the chart adopted for our puidanca was the constitution. Departure from the lines there laid down 18 failure. 1t is only by a strict adherence to the divections there indicated and by restraint within tho lunitations there tixed that we can furnish proof to the world of the titness of the Amer- ican people for self-governmont The equal and exact justice of which we boast as the underlying principle of our institutions should 1ot bo confined to the relations of our citizens to each other. The government itselt is undes bond to the American people that in the exercise of ite functions aud powers it will deal with the body of our citizens i amanner seripus lously honest and fair, and aboslutely justy It has agreed that A an citizenship shall Ve the only eredential necessary to justify the claim of equality before the law, and that no condition in life suall give rise 10 dis- crimmation in the treatment of the people by this government, The citizen of our republio in its early day rigidly insisted upon fuli com- linnee with the letter of this bond and saw stretehing out before him a clear ield for ins dividual endeavor. His tribute to the sup- of port his government was measured by the cost of its economical muintenance, and he s secure in the enjoyment of the remain- recompense of his steady and contented otion to it. In these days the frugality of the peopla wais stamped upon their government and was cuforced by the free, thoughtful and intellis Usullrage of the citizens. Combinations ot monopolies and aggregations of capital were el wvoided or sternly regulated and ro- strained. The pomp and glitterof government, less frec offered no temptation' and presented no delusion to the plain po who, side by side in friendly competition, wrought for tho ennoblement and dignity of mau;for the solus tion of the problem of free government and for the achicvement of the grand destiny awaiting the land which God had given thegl, A century has passed. Our citics are tha jging places of wealth and luxury, our manufactories yield fortunes nover dreamed of by the fathers of the republic; our busis ness men are madly striving in the race for riches and immense aggregations of capital outrun imagination in the maguitude of thewr undertakings. THE TRUST The President Pays His Respects to the Iron-Heeled Creatioas. We view with pride and satisfaction this bright picture of our country’s growth and prosperity, while only a close serutiny devel- ops a somber shading, Upon more carefut inspection we find the wealth and luxury of our cities mingled with poverty and wretch- edness and unremunerative til. A erowded and constantly increasmg urban popu- lation SURRests the ampoverishiuent of ~rural = sections and disconteny with agricultural pursuits, The farm- er's son, not satistied with his father's simple und laborious life, joins tho chuse for casily acaiired w W discover that the fortune: alized by our manufacturers are nolonger solely the reward of study, induse try uud enlightened foresight, but that they result from the discriminating favor of the government and are lat built upon undue exaction from the masses of our own people, The gulf between employers and the em- ployed is constantly wideningand classes are rapidly forming, oiie comprising the very rich and powerful, while i another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achicvements of aggre. gated capital we discover the existence of trusts, combinations and monopolics, whilg the eitizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled beneath an iron heel, lorporations, which should be the care- fully restrained creatures of the law and tho servants of the people, are fast becoming the people’s masters, Stll congratuluting ours selves upon the wealth of our country, and complacently contemplating every incident of change inseparable from those conditions, 1Ui8 OUr auty as patriotic citizens to inquire b the present stage of our progress how the bond ~of the povernment mac with the people has been kept and per- formed. Instead of limiting the trib- ute drawn from our citizens to necessitis of its economical administration, the government persists in cxacting from the substance of the people's millions, which, unapplicd and uscless, lie dormant in its treasury. This flagrant injustice and this breach of faith and obligation add to extors tion the danger attending diversion of the currency of the country from the legitimate channels of busimncss, Under the same laws by which these re- oduced, the government permits v millions wore 1o be added to the cost liviag of our people und Lo be taken from our consutmers which unreasonubly swell the profits of a small but powerful minority, The people must still be taxed for the support of the country under the op= eration of tariff luws, But the our citizens is inordinately oud any useful public purpose the benefit of 4 favored few. The government under pretext of an exercise of its taxing power, cnters gratuitously into partuership with these favorites, to their ad- vantage aid to the injury of i vust majority ofour, people, This is not equality before the law. T'he existing situation is Injurious to the health of our entire body politie, 1t stifles 1 those all patriotic love'of country and substitutes in its place seifish greed and grasping avarice. Devotion Lo American citi- zenship for its own sake and for what it should accomplish as a notive o our nation’s ads vancement and the happiness of all our peo- ple is displaced by the assumption that the government, instead of belng the embodis ment of equality, is but an justrumentalit; through which espedial and individual ads vantages are 1o be gained The arrogance of this assumption is una concealed, It uppears in the sordid disres gard of all but personal intercst in the res fusal to abute for the benetit of others one iotu of selfish advuntage, and in combination o perpetuate such adventages: through efs forts to control legisiation and improperly control the sufirage o1 the people.
