The most claborate annual message of Prosident Cleveland is his last, 1 lintorest than his message of year ago, it will be widely approved as in the main a judicious state paper The president introduced his with what is in the nature of a he upon the duties of the government and the departures that h been made from a strict observance of constitu- tional obligations. He reminds the ‘country that at the expiration of the present session of ss the first con tury of our constitutional existence as a nation will be corapleted but we must not feel assured from this survival of an bLundred years that, theve are no dangers to fear. The time seems opporiwe to the president for sober inquiry as to whether in the past we have always kept in the safe course and whoether the way that leads to happiness and perpetuity s elear and Tas the government ducted on constitutional lines, and its bond to deal honestly, fairly and justly by the people been always regavded? It is evident Mr. Cleveland does not think these requircments have been complicd with, and his outlook is some- what pessimistic, He finds reason for pride and satisfaction in the count growth, but there is a somber shading to the bright picture. This avpears in lain. been con- 1 the widely contrasting conditions of people in the cities, where, with wealth and luxury are mingled poverty, wretcheduess and un- remunerative tonl. Crowded cities sug- st the impoverishment of rural se tions and discontent with agricultur pursuits. There is an eager chase for cusily nequired wealth, the fortunes of our munufacturers aro largely built upon undue exaction from the masses of our own people,and there is a constantly widening gulf between employers and the employed, leading to the formatian of classes of the vich and powerful on the one hand and the toiling pooron the other. AllL this the president deems to be due toa radical departure from the old lines, and he evidently regards it as an extremely menacing state of alfairs Pointed reference is made to the growth of aguregated capital in the form of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, which, instead of being cavefully restrained creatures of the law, are fast becoming the people’s masters, assing to the consideration of the taviff and the surplus, the president leaves no room to doubt that he is firmly anchored in the position taken in his mossage of last ye He declaves the r situation, iuvolving a pavtner- ship of the government with a favorite few of the people, to be injurions to the health of our entive body politie. It stifles all patriotic love of country. sub- stituting sclfish greod and grasping avarice. Those who had hoped for any stion of compromise from the president regarding o revision of the taviff, with view to Dbringing the parties in congress together so that a measure might be passed at the present session, will be disappointed. His plain counsel to his party is to ad- here to the lines already marked out. existin “The cause for which the battle is waged,” suys the president, ‘s com- vrised withiu lines clearly and dis- tinetly defined. It should never be compromised.” It remains to be scen whether the influence of Mr. Cleveland with his party is as geeat after defeat when the promise of vietory seemed bright. If he retains his past influence there is little ground of hope that his party in congress will recede from its position. Yet there may be demo- crats who will find it expe- dient, in view of the expression of the popular judgment to depart some- what from the lines mavked out by the president, and thus enablo a compro- mise to be effected which will at the present session give the country the re- lief it requires. Regarding Yhe state of the union, there is the familine assurance of do- mestic tranquility and peace with all nations. Our velations have been strengthened and improved in some directions, whkile the questions still to besettled are in the president’s opindon suseeptible of satisfactory ¢ justment by frank diplomatic t foreign ment. The president exprosses solici- tude respecting the settlement of the fisheries disputd, and invokes the earnest and immedinte atten- tion of congress to the question, still be- lieving that the treaty of last February furnished a practical” and satisfactory adjustment, honorable to both coun- tri The presic in the Sackvill sary to the n nt justifies “Wost 1 nte his course ter as neces- nee of mutual con- fidence Dbetw the two countries, charactevizing the conduct of the min- ister as unpardonable. The Chincse question is regarded as autisfactorily disposed of, and generally our foreign relations are untroubled, “The president urges forcibly the duty of passing proper measures to insure rvight disposition of the public lands, not only as a matter of pros- ent justice, but in forccast of the consequences to future generations “Qur dear expericnce,” says the presi dent, “‘ought sufficiently to urge tho speedy onnetment of measires of ley lation which will confine the future dis position of our remaining agricultural land to the use of actunl husbandyy and genuine homes,” Improvement is noted in the condition of the Indian popula- tion, testifying to the valuae of our later wethods of dealing with them, which the presidenv thinks should be contin- ued. A vevision of the pension laws is recommended 80 as to meot as far ns possible all mevitorious eases. In the opinion of the president the prinei- ples on which pensions should be granted are in danger of being altogethor ignored, to the injury of both the veteruns and the government, Regarding the adjustment of the re tions between the government and the land-grant vailvoads, it will perhaps surprise no one to find that he favors un extension of time for tho paymont by such roads of their indebtedness to the government.

Ou the whole, however, as to its practical features, the creditable document as erence to messago s a such state papers go. THE POSTAL SERVICE. Under the present administration the post s not maintained its former officiency. In nearly overy por- tion of the country there has been move or less complaint, rather more marked in tho west than elsewhere. The pr decessor of the present postmaster eral sought to make his department a great political machine, and in doi 1 service gen- T80 he neeessavily brought demoralization tothe sorvice. There is no class of government employes to whom training pericnc in and ey to those are more necessary than the postal service. The postal ¢ must be intelligent, quick and apt, or the service will suffer, Given the qualifications, there must be careful teaining and long experience in order to obtain the highest eficioncy. This servie should consequentl, have fewer changes in its officials and employes than almost any other. Mr. Vilas did not understand this, or else did not care, and under his admin- istration the service very tly de- generated. But there has hecn improvement under the present postmaster general, and notwithstanding all the deawbacks, the finaneial results of the service a shown to have boen very satisfactor for the past year. There was an in- crease of revenue in all the depart- ments, and while the expenditures were considerably enlavzed over the previous yeur the deficit was ma- tevially less. The expansic of the service in a single year, by the creation of additional postoflices, the extension of the i mail s viee,and the enlargement of the carr serviee, was notable, and altogether th statisties of the service supply a ve @ood index of the prosperity of the people. This vast serviee has outgrown old methods, and the time has comae when it must in certain respeets undergo roor- gamzation. The report of the postmus- ter general contains some valuable rec ommendations as to what is requir for the greater efficiency of the and these should have the carveful at- tion of coungress. The masses of the people are moreconcerned with the pos- tal s ice than with the of any other department ot tho govern- ment, and they will readily pardon any service, business reasonable exponditure neces y 1o render this service as thorough and eflicient as it can be made. The rec- ommendations of the postmaster gei- eral are practical and sound, and con- gress should give heed to them. INCITING ANARCHY. It is not at all likely that the decent mewm- bers of the city council will respond to Mayor Broateh’s call for a special meeting to-night. The objeet of the call is to secure contirt tion of the judges and clerks of to-morrow's election appoiuted by the mayor.—Yester- day's Herald. What does this mean, if not an effort to ineite lawlessness and disorder? The law requires the mayor to appoint judges and clerks of election, and the duty of the couneil is to pass upon those appointments. A refusal on the part of councilmen to do their duty in this re spect is revolutionary, The manifest intent of such conduct would bhe to promote fraud in the can of the vote, and play the hands of repeaters aund voters imported with fraudulent intent. This scheme to pack the polls with illegal and election judges who will winlk at fraud is nothing more or less than a conspirvacy concoeted and set on foot by the sume gang that detied the Inwful authoritics and sought to leave the city without police protection. It remains to be scen whether thesoe fomenters of a hy can carry out their plot.

Ivery tax Land for that matter every citizen, has a vital interest in the outcome of the city election, The dis- reputable conduet of our council during the past eighteen months has done in- caleuinble damage to Omaha’s veputa- tion abroad.

Unless our citizens turn out in full force to support candidates known to he Lonest, the next council will be, if such a thing could be, worse than the st It is somewhat singular to hear of a cotton factoryat Des Moines,Towa.

The manufacturing of cotton isan industry to which the west has never laid claim, 1f the Des Moines fac- tory proyes successful, it will demon- strate that the west ean compete with he south in the manufucture of good cotton goods. New England has long been supreme as the great cotton munu- facturing center of the country. Its superh water power, its easy water com- munication with Charleston and other southern covton ports, its cheap fuel have given that section advantages, which fitted it pre-eminently for the in- dustry. The south, moreover, as the home of the cotton plant, and with cheap fuel,has demonstrated In the lasy few years that it has become a powerful rivel to New Zugland. It is possible that By ey OMAHA DAILY BE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1888 the cheapness of railroad transportation to the cotton figlds and to conl mines have given celain localitios of the west advantages in $hg manufacture of cote ton goods equal ¢6 those possessed by other sections,” This may explain the location of a cotton mill at Des Moines, Should the entecprise prove successful, it will be a very important addition to | the manufacturing industries of the west THERE is a conservative element in Dakota counselling the people not to bo too eager in pushing the admission of to statchood. Ex-Governor this class, which be- the territor; Pierce belongs to lieves that it were better that Dakota should qualify herself perfectly for statehood before urging congress for an carly admission. The question of di- viding the tervitory into two states, the question of a liberal and isfactory state constitution, the question of the location of a state capital should be thoroughly discussed and approved be- fore congress bo importuned for action. While Dakota should lose no opportu- nity to hasten her admission there is danger that in hereagornoess grave mis- takes may be made which may injure the state. The step which Dakota is about to take is for all time and not for mere temporary advantage. It there- fore behooves the people of the terri- tory to consider well what would be Dest for her lusting interest beforo they cast the die. —_— MONTANA chafes and frets under her territorial yoke and calls loudly to have her shackles loosened. With a voting population estimated at over forty thou- sand, the people of the territory find it hard to comprehend why they arve di franchised. They liken themselves to a conquered province ruled by govern- judges and secretavies nov of thei choice, but sent to them to execute their laws. They want the benefits, the free- dom, the prosperity that follows homo vule, and in all probability before an- other year rolls by the people will be granted all they ask and Montanawill be crowned with the majesty of statehood. IMMIGRATION to the United States for the past six months has failen oll materially.
