A Brief Synopsis.
Washington D<c. 4 —Ar, one minute
after 12 o’clock t< d-iy Speaker Crisp

Interest of course centered in the read
ing of the president's message, which was
an able and lei gtby document.
The part flist touched on foreign re
lation. As to the tiouble in B hzH be
states that the United S ares must em
phasis »i's policy of imp ircial neutrality
and disavow emphatic illy the “unau

After a brief staiemeut ot tut. roductory
facts, the president says:
“After a thorough and exhaustive ex
amination, Mr. Blount, submitted to me
his repotr, showing neyoud all qurß'ion
that the constiluiional government of
Hawaii had been subverted with the
active aid of our representative to that
government and rhrou. h ihe intimidat
ion caused by the presence of an armed
naval force if the Uuited S ates which
was isi ded for that purpose at the in
stance oi our miu'ster.
“Upon the f«c s developed, it seemed
to me that, the on y honorable c uisl for
cur g< veinment to puuue was to undo
the wrong that hud been done byilnse
represt nting us, and to restoie, as far ts
practicable,’he status existing at the
time of out forcible intervention.
“With a view of accomplishing this
result within the constitutional limits < f
executive power anti lecognizmg all our
obligations and reapousibtlities growing
out of any changed conditions br. ugbt
about by our ui jusufl .ble ioterferai.ee,
our present minis er at Honolulu has re
ceived appropriate instructions to that
end.
“Th s far no information of the accom

been received from him. Advices are
soon expected. When received thoy wih

facts necessary to complete understatd

of all the material events leading to tne
present situation. ’’
Go Slow in Financial Legislation.
After many statistics, he says:
* The recent repeal of the provision of
law requiring the purchase of silver bul
lion by the government as a feature of
our monetary scheme has made an entire
change in the complexion of our cur
rency affairs. I do not doubt that the
ultimate result of this action will be
most saiutatory and far-reaching.
“In the nature of tbiege, however, it
is impossible to know at this time pre

about by the change, <>r what, if any
ON CRUTCHES 2 WEEKS

Pain, Burning, and Itching Ter
rible. Not 5 Hours Sleep In 3
Days. Makes Ono Applica
tion of Cuticura and in
<5 Minutes is Asleep.
A Remarkable
Case.
About two years ago I was confined to my
room with a breaking out on my leg which my
physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend
ing me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A.
friend called to see me, and brought about
one half teaspoonful of Cuticura, advising
me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured by it. I would
not try it at first, although 1 had been on
crutches for over two weeks, and at one time I
counted between twenty-five and thirty suppur
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o’clock the pain, burning and itching be
came so severe that 1 determined to try Cuti
cura, thinking that if it did no good, it could
not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw
as a piece of beef and as red as a beet, so I
applied the Cuticura, and in five minutes after
1 laid down I was asleep. Next day I sent and
got a box of Cuticura, and I’ll pledge my honest
word 1 would not take §IOO to-day for it, if I
could not get another. I commenced using
Cuticura Monday morning about four o'clock,
„nd to-day (Tuesday) my leg is nearly well, not
withstanding I had not walked a step without
my crutches in two weeks. My gratitude to the
man who first compounded Cuticura is pro
found. May God bless him.

“ The total number of post, ffi ies in the
Unit'd States on the 30 h ot June, 1893,
as 68 404, an increase of 1,284 over the
preceding year. Ol these 3 360 were
presidential, an increase in that C ass of
204 over the preceding year.
“Forty- wo free delivery offices were
ad'ltd during the year to those already
existing,_makiug a total of six hundred

free delivery on June 3'l 1893.”
Farm Products,
Considerab y space is devoted to the
navy, the question of pensions, the con
dition of the Indian and agricultural
matters.
Os the Inst he stys:
“ The »xports of agricultural products
from the U ited S’ates for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1892, attained the enor
mous figure < f $8’11,01)0,000 tn round
numbers, being 78.7 per cent of our total
rxp >r's.
“In the last fiscal year this aggregate
was grea’ly ieduced, but nevertheless
readied t 615 oim uOO. um g 75.1 per cent
of all American comm idities exported.
The Tariff Hill.
The president speass of the tariff bill
as an opportunity and a duty and after
an introductory he says:
“N ituiug slioul ' intervene to distract,
the attention or disturb our rffort until
tn » i t > m is at complished by wise and
careful legislation.
“While we should staunchly adhere to
the principle that only the necessity of
revenue justifies the imposition of tariff
dunes, and that they should be limited by
strict ec inorny, we cannot close our eyes
co the fact that conditions have grown up
among us which, in justice and fairness,
call for disciiminating care in the oistri
bucion of such duties and taxation as the
emergencies cf our government actually
demand.
“Manifestly, if we are to aid the people
directly through tariff refoim, one of its
most obvious features should be a reduc
tion in present tariff charges upon the
necessaries of life. The bene fits of such
a reduction would be pa'pabie and sub
stantial, seen t>nd felt by thousands, who
would oe better fed and better clothed
and better sheltered. Those gifts should
be the willing benefactors if a govern
ment whose highest function is the pro
motion of the welfare of the p-ople.
For Free Raw Materials.
“Not less closely related to our people’s
prosperi'y and well being is the removal
es restrictions upon the importation ot
the raw materials necessary to our manu
fao'ures.
“The world should be open to our na
tional ingenui'y and enterprise. Ihls
cannot be while Fedtral legislation,
through the imposition of high tai iff, for
bids to American manufacturers as cheap
materials as those Used by cheir competi
tors.
“It is quite obvious that the enhance
ment ot the price of our manufactuied
products, resulting from thia policy, not
only confines the market for these pro
ducts within our own borders to the di
rect disadvantage of our manufacturers,
but also increases their cost to our citi
zens.
The Interests of L >bor,
“The intetesisof labor are certainly,
though indirectly, involved in the tariff
system,
“The sharp competition and active
struggle among our manufacturers to
supply the limited demand for their
goods soon fill the narrow market to
which they aie confined. Then follows
asuspension of work in mills and facto
ries, a discharge i.f employes and distress
in the homes of our workingmen.
“Even if the often disprovi-n assertion
rould be made good, that, a lower ra e of
wanes «ould result from free raw mate
rials and low tanff duties, the intelli
gence of our workingmen leads thrrp
quickly to discover that their steady
i-mployment, permitted by free raw ma
teiial, is the most, important factor in
their relations to tariff legislation.

"A measure has been prepared by an

Kentucky’s Separate Coach Law.
The colored people who live in Ken
tucky, as well as the colored people who
have occasion to visit or to pass through
the state, are agitated somewhat over
the workings of the law passed by the
last legislature, which obliges every rail
road in the state to provide a separate
coach for the exclusive use of colored,
passengers on every passenger train that
runs. The law also provides that no col
ored passenger must be allowed in any of
the other coaches used by whites, and no
■white is to be permitted to ride in thb
colored people's coach, the penalty being
a fine of SSOO against the railroad for
every violation of these particulars of the
law.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

’No New Parliament.
It is significant news that the govern
ing board of the Imperial Federation
league voted to dissolve at the end of the
year. The great scheme of bringing the
British colonies, especially Canada and
Australia, into closer relations with the
empire has been abandoned as unpopu
lar and impracticable. The idea was to
organize a new imperial house of parlia
ment, in which the colonies should be
represented, but public opinion in the
colonies themselves was either indifferent
or opposed to the idea. Prominent men
in both parties, including Rosebery and
Salisbury, favored the scheme. Persist
ent agitation and a flood of pamphlets,
however, have failed to create any colo
nial sentiment in favor of closer intimacy
with the mother country. So the con
cern will shut upshop.—New York Sun’s
