Book out—no waiting The President’s Message. We have read this extraordinarily lengthy Message, with much care and find it difficult to summarise it satis factorily within the space at our com mand. While the material ia sound and excellent, a good deal might have been left out with advantage and va rious topics might have been touched upon at less space for the convenience of the general reader. Mr. Cleveland evidently prepared the document for the few who have the time to examine the details, rather than the many, who will shrink from its great prolixi ty. We find it occupying 16 columns of closely printed matter in small type in the Augusta Daily Chronicle of the 9tli inst. In saying this we must also say it is a work of marked ability, showing that the President ia deeply skilled in all that concerns the interests of our great Republic in Its domestic and foreign relations. It opens with a feeling allusion to our National bereavement in the death of our late Vice-President, Mr. Hen dricks. All of our foreign relations are shown to be on a satisfactory and pacific footing not only on this conti nent but in other portions of the world. He holds to the Monroe doc trine denying the right of Europeans to intrude npou the destinies of the nations and peoples of the American continent South of the British posses sions in North America. THE NICARAGCAN TREATY. My immediate predecessor caused to be negotiated with Nicaragua treaty for the construction by and at the sole cost of the United States of a canal through Nicaraguan territory, and laid it before the Senate. Pend ing the action of that body thereon, I withdrew the treaty for re-examina tion. Attentive consideration of its provisions leads me to withhold it from re-submission to the Senate. Main taining, as I do, the tenets of a line of precedents from Washington's day, which proscribe entangling alliances with foreign State •», I do not favor a policy of acquisition of new and dis tant territory, or the incorporation of remote interests with our own. The President favors the Tehuantepec rente and says it should be construct ed for the world's benefit, a trust for mankind to be removed from the chance of domination by any single power, nor must it become a point of invitation for hostilities or a prize for warlike ambition. Ho says the har mony of our relations with China is sustained and tiie Chinese in this country must be protected against lawless mobs. He refers to the French claims, the American hog, naturali zations, treaties, the Carolines affair, American fisheries, extradition agree ments, the Haytian insurrection, the cholera epidemic, Mexican relations, foreign relations, copyright confer ence, Turkish treaty, negotiations with Venezuela, New Orleans Expo sition, art discrimination, and some other subjects which occupy much space but will he of no special inter est to our readers. In reference to the Treasury he says: The ordinary receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1885, were $332,090,900.38, of this sum $181,471,- 939,34 was received from customs, $112,498,725,54 from Internal Revenue. He then shows for what particular purposes money was expended, for pensions, the civil service, etc., amounting to $‘200,220,935,50 leaving a surplus in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year of $03,403,771,27. We omit specifying all the separate items of expense. Over a column is appro priated to the national banking sys tem. The whole number of the banks are 2,727. He says: The question of free trade is not In volved, nor is there now any occasion for the general discussion of the wis dom or expediency of a protective system. Justice and fairness dictate that in any modification of our pres ent laws relating to revenue, the in dustries and interests which have been encouraged by such laws, and in which our citizens have large in vestments, should not be ruthlessly injured or destroyed. We should also deal with the subject in such a man-, rier as to protect the interests of American labor, which is the capital of our working men. Its stability and proper remuneration furnish the most justifiable pretext for a protective pol icy. Within these limitations a certain reduction should be made in our cus toms revenue. The amount of such reduction having been determined, the inquiry follows: Where can it best be remitted and what articles can best be released from duty in the in terest of our citizens? I think the reduc tion should be made in the revenue derived from a tax upon the imported necessaries of life. We thus directly lessen the cost of living in every fami ly of the land, and give to the ’people jn eyery humble home a larger meas ure of the reward of frugal industry. The Message has much to say upon various subjects, such as Steamboat Inspection. Marine Hospital Service, Life Saving Coast Survey, Signal Service, Military Education, Obstruc tion of Navigation, the. Navy, Postal Service, Interior report, Pension re port, Patents, the Merman question, Government Library, Ac., all of which we pass over as possessing but little general interest. We present more fully than any thing else.JMr. Cleveland’s remarks on the Silver question. The most vital part of the Silver Coinage Act remains inoperative and unexecuted and without an ally or friend we battle upon the silver field in an illogical and losing contest. To give full effect to the design of Con gress on tins subject, I have made careful and earnest endeavor, since tEe adjournment of the last Congress. To this end I delegated a gentleman well instructed in iiscai science, to proceed to the financial centres of Eu rope, and in conjunction with our Ministers to England, France and Germany, to obtain a full knowledge o# the attitude and intent of those governments in respect to the estab lishment of such an international ra tio as would procure free coinage of both metals at the mines of those countries and our own. By my direc tion our Consul General at Paris has given close attention to the proceed ings of the Oongresss of the Latin Union, in order to indicate our inter est in its objects and report its action. It may be said in brief, as tbe result of these efforts that the attitude of the leading powers remains substan tially unchanged since the monetary conference of 1881, nor is it to be ques tioned that the views of these govern ments are in each instance supported by the weight of public opinion. Tbe steps thus taken have, therefore, only more fully demonstrated the useless ness of further attempts at present to arrive at any agreement on the sub- jeet with other nations. Inthe mean time we are accumulating silver coin based upon our own peculiar ratio, to such an extent and assuming so hea vy a burden to be provided for in any international negotiations as will ren der us an undesirable party to any fu ture monetary conference of nations. It is a significant fact that four of the five countries composing the Latin Union mentioned in our coinage act embarrassed with their silver curren cy have just completed an agreement among themselves that no more silver shall be coined by their respective governments, and that such as lias al ready been coined and in circulation shall be redeemed in gold by tbe country of its coinage. The resort to this expedient by these countries may well arrest the attention of those who suppose that we can succeed without shock or injury in the attempt to circulate upon its merits all the silver we may coin under the provisions of our silver coinage act. The condition in which our*freasury may be placed by a persistence in our present course is a matter of concern to every patriotic citizen who does not desire his Government Oi pa; such of its obligations condition be such as to oblige us in a prudent management of our affairs to discontinue the calling in and pay ment of interest-bearing obligations, which we hare the right now to dis charge, and thus avoid the payment of father interest thereon. The so- called debtor class for whose benefit the continued compulsory coinage of silver is insisted upon, are not dishon est because they are in debt; and they should not be suspected of a desire to jeopardize the financial safety of the country in order that they may can cel their present debts by paying the same in depreciated dollars, nor should it be forgotton that it is.not the rich nor the money lender alone that must submit to such a readjustment, and enforced by the Government and their debtors, thepittauceof the widow and the orphan, a ud the incomes of helpless beneficiaries of all kinds would be disastrously reduced. The depositors in savings banks and in other institutions, which hold in trust the savings of the poor, when their little accumulations are sealed down to meet the new order of things would, In their distress, painfully realize the delusion of the promise made to them that plentiful money would improve their condition. We have now on hand all the silver dollars necessary to supply the present needs of the people and to satisfy those who from sentiment wish to see them in circula tion; and if tlieireoinage is suspended, they can be obtained by all who de sire them. If the need of more is at any time apparent their coinage may be renewed. That disaster has not already over taken us furnishes no proof that danger does not wait upon a continuation of the present silver coinage. We have been saved by the most careful-man agement and unusual expedients, by a combination of fortunate conditions, and by a confident expectation that the course of the Government in re gard to silver coinage would he speedily changed by the action of Congress. Prosperity hesitates upon our threshold because of the dangprs and uncertainties surrounding this question. Capital timidly shrinks from trade, and investors are un willing to take the chance of the questionable shape in which their money will be returned to them, while euterxirlse halts at a riskagainst which care and sagacious manage ment do not protect. As a necessary consequence labor lacks employment, and suffering and distress are visited upon a portion of our fellow citizens especially entitled to the eareful con sideration of those charged with the duties of legislation. No interest ap peals to us so strongly for a safe and stable currency as the vast army of the unemployed. I recommend ’ the suspension of the compulsory coinage of silver dollars, directed by the law passed In February, 1878. In conclusion I commend to the wise care and thoughtful attention of Congress the needs, the welfare and the aspirations of an intelligent and generous nation. To subordinate these to the narrow advantages of partisanship or the accomplishment of selfish aims, is to violate the people’s trust and betray the peo ple’s interests. But an individ ual sense ot responsibility on the part of each of us, and* a stern determina tion to perform our duty well, must give us place among those who have addedin their day and generation to the glory and prosperity of our beloved land. Grover Cleveland. Washington, Dee. 8, 1885. There was no manifestation of ap proval or disapproval during the reading of the message, which was not finished until 3.10. The document was ordered printed, and referred to the Committee of the Whole. Gladstone’s Triumphs. Later accounts, those of the 3rd, add mnch to the success of the Liberals. The Tories are disheartened. Re turns up to 3 o’clock on this day give Gladstone and the Liberals 256, Saulsbury and the Tories 208, the Par- nellltas or Nationalists 48. This gives the Liberals as many as the Tories and Parnellites united. The Tories, it is stated, have given thrall hope of victory. The great contest is between the Gladbtone-Liberals, and the Sauls- bury-Tories. The London Standard gives up all hopes for the Tories. The Parnellites are outsiders in claiming possession of the Government. Their object is to sustain the party that will do the most for Ireland. Gladstone is the best man for them but they turn ed against him. This was bad policy. Earl Rosebury, in a speech said: Ire land had shown great ingratitude to Gladstone, but Gladstone still says he intends to do the best in his power for the Irish. It is fortunate that they have in Gladstone such a good, great and liberal friend. Further re turns give the liberals 262, the Tories 211 and the Parnellites 52. This makes a change of one. The accounts do not represent any hope of a change for the Tories in the remaining votes. The counties are polling so strongly in favor of the Liberals that the general opinion is, they will have more votes than the Tories and Parnellites put together. The Tories cannot main tain power unless they get a very large proportion of the 144 votes yet to be polled. We look for a signal victory for Gladstone and his Liberal party, and we are glad of it, for the sake of the Irish. We see it stated that the opponents of Gladstone, now that thev are defeated, say they are “opposed toplacing any reliance on the Parnellites.” These are the words as we find them in the accounts of the 3rd. If this is true they are showing their hand early, and the Parnellites will knowhow to estimate any dependence upon them. Gladstone is their man and we said so from the beginning of the contest. Speaking of MilledgeviUe reminds me that the steel rails of a Georgia railroad covered tbe first iron-clad gnnboat ever built. The Georgia railroad from Augusta to Macon was about completed to Mayfield when the war broke out. The contractors were waiting with fold ed hands for a ship load of steel rails that had been ordered from England with which to build the road to Milledgeville, thirty miles from Mayfield. The ship reached Charles ton just as the echo of the first gun from Fort Sumter rolled back from the sea. The rails were seized by the Confederate States’ government and the ship with its cargo sent to the navy yard at Portsmouth. The gov ernment soon afterward commenced the building of their iron-clads. The hull of the Merrimac, which had been burned to the water's edge bv the Federals when they evacuted Ports mouth, was taken and after being converted into a gnnboat, was plated with steel nils that were bought for a railroad in Georgia. The Merrimac was christened the Virginia, and its fate is well known.—Macon Tele graph. Old &fe often comes of rust, tread mill, living in ruts, learning nothing new, insisting one is too old to learn. A young man marries at twenty-three; the woman ditto; they give up recrea tion, get into the social treadmill, turn their lives into business, housekeep ing, calling and receiving calls. ^ At forty they are mere machines. Now they begin to lay up for old age; thev begin to feel old—get old; think old, and they are old.

Mr. Carlise was elected speaker, his opponent be- in$f Mr. Reed of Maine. Mr. Carlisle m a very appropriate speech returned thanks for the honor done him, pledg ed to administer the laws governing the proceedings of the House with fidehty and fairness to the extent of his ability, and asked of the members their co-operation to sustain hint in every proper effort to obtain that re sult. He called upon the representa tives of the two parties to re cognize the integrity of each oth er, and respect the honest opin ions of each, and cultivate a spir it of mutual forbearance as necessary to enable tbe House to conduct its deliberations with order and decorum. The House, he said is only the custo dian of its own peace and dignity and without its cordial support no presid ing officer can preserve either. He concluded by again expressing his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and his earnest desire to dis charge his duties without prejudice to any public interest. The oath of office was administered by Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania, and as the roll was called the members appeared at the bar and were sworn in by the speaker. The officers of the House'were then elected after which the Senate was in formed that the House was ready for business. The Speaker appointed Mr. Blount, of Georgia, and Messrs. Ran dall and Reed, to act with a commit tee of the Senate to wait upon the President and inform him that they were ready to receive any communi cation he desired to make. Appropri ate action was had in reference to the death of Mr. Hendricks, and out of respect to his memory the House ad journed to 3:50 p. m. next day. Mr. Sherman was elected ^’resident of the Senate, the Democrats casting a complimentary vote for that posi tion to Senator "Harris of Tennessee. Logan and Blair were sworn in os Senators. A committee was appoint ed to act with that of the House to notify the President as above stated. The Senate also took appropriate ac tion on the death of Mr. Hendricks and then adjourned out of respect to his memory. Spend Your Money at Home. The following are given by an ex^ change as among the most forcible reasons why you should spend yoor money at home. We commend them to our readers. 1. It is your home, you cannot Im prove it much by taking your money away to spend, or invest. 2. There is no way of improving a pluee so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schools and good people to settle among you, to spend your money at home. 3. Spend your money at home, for there is where you get it. It is your duty. 4. Spend your money at home, be cause when it is necessary for you to get credit, it is your own town mer chants you have to get it from, and they must wait for their money. Therefore, when you have the money, spend it at home. 5. Spend your money at home. It will make better business for vour merchants, they can and will keep better assortments and sell at lower rates than if the only business they can do is credited, while the money goes to other places. The peanut crop is an important one. In 1884-5, according to reports, it amounted to 3,550,000 bushels, of which Virginia raised 2,000,000 bush els, Tennessee 1,250,000, and North Carolina 300,000. The estimated crop of 1885-6 is 2,400,000. The bushels par celled as follows: Virginia 1,500,000, Tennessee 700,000, and North Carolina 200,000. The decline in prices last spring led the farmers to shut down in production, and the -rreage this year has been decreased. The sea son, too, has been less favorable than last year, and the yield per acre is not so large. Georgia ought to do a full share in raising peanuts, but she does not do much. Even those that are parched and sold about the streets of our towns are brought from other states. No young farmer, says the Vermont Farmer, should be discouraged be cause he has not got rich the first year of farming. The young man who has been brought up on a farm and is egotistical enough to think that he knows all that can be known about farming will find by experience that there are many lessons in store for him. The other day, in jjmyers- ing with an old machinist wno has made a fortune in his business, he said: “I have been learning all my life and old as I am I find new things yet to learn.” This desire and apti tude to learn is one of the secrets of his great success. What is true of the machinist’s calling is just as true of the farmer’s. Several companies of the Military under command of General MeCook, have been sent to Salt Lake to see that obedienoe to the law shall be strictly enforced. It said that in a good crop of wheat the grain gives nearly or quite as much weight as the straw. With oats and barley the grain is usually In excess of the straw so far as weight is concerned. In the rye crop straw usually weighs more than grain and near a good market is often worth more. Small brother: “Where did you get Kaf naira A flvnoll oiatnat POWDER Absolutely Pure.

The event in Washington to-day was the beginning of Congress. The session opened in the usual way. There were crowds in the spectators' galleries and in the corridors of the Capitol, while on the floor of the House there was the old tiuie confu sion, bustle, noise, handshaking, ex change of congratulations and intro ductions. The old officers were re elected from the Speaker down. Tlte Republicans gave a complimentary vote fqr Speaker to Mr. Reed, of Maine. There were more than a hundred new faces among the Representatives, and the lmil looked much improved by its itdw carpet and freshly varnish ed furniture. The seat drawing pre sented the usual amusing scene of ex pectation, suspense, and disappoint ment on the countenances of the for tunate and less fortunate members. The Senate chamber looked but lit tle changed since the last adjourn ment, except for the crape draping and floral decorations around the chair of the late Vice-President. The Senate opened as quietly us if its va cation had been only nine hours in stead of nine months. Senator John Sherman was elected to succeed Mr. Hendricks as President pro tern. Senator Logan having de clined the first caucus nomination for the place. Nothing could have been more repugnant to tho Demo crats than the selection of Sherman. They would have prefered Logan as the lesser evil. While Senator Logan is a narrow, positive partisan, his dis creet action after the last Presidential election was in marked contrast to the undignified conduct cf Mr. Blaine. And then it must be admitted that while he has been in Congress during a period of unparalleled extravagance and corruption, his personal honesty has not been questioned. Sherman is an accomplished hypo crite. While professing patriotism, ho would at any moment be willing to plunge the country in war, if he conid thereby promote his own selfish inter ests. fluring his public life in Wash ington, while engaged in no other bus iness ostensibly, and while receiving the limited pay of Congressman or Secretary of. the Treasury, he has accumaluted a fortune estimated at several millions. He is known to have been the brains in the Pres idential theft of 1877, and to have been always an unscrupulous, plausible, ambitious, avaricious demagogue. The President’s message is ready for Congress and will probably be sent in at to-morrow’s session. ()f the Cabinet reports sent to the President, that of Secretary Whitney may be mentioned as one of the ablest. He has found during his incumbency, decaying dock-yards, squandered millions, bad management, and no ships. He scathingly reviews past methods, 'and holds that the only remedy is in com plete re-organization of the Navy De partment. While he wastes no time in dragging to light the past rascal ities er in making accusations against former .Secretaries, the plain manner in which he exposes the mismanage ment, evasions and violations of law that existed whpn he assumed control, is the most effective indictment he could make against his predecessors. In regard to prospective legislation it may be asserted that the House wiil first give attention to the change of its rules. Then a bill will be present ed for giving the Presidential succes sion to the Cabinet. It is urged that the temporary President, provided by such a bill, would not be the people's choice, but neither “would an officer elected by the Senate. Such a hill would meet the emergency better than any other plan thut has been proposed, for it would secure the con tinuance in power of the party and the administration elected by the people. Then there will be debates on the Silver question, and a hard fight over it and the tariff. There are many theories among'the silver men. The West will be for silver, the East n- gainst it, and the South will be divid ed. The session has opened very quietlv, but sensations will come later. A- mong them will probably be a scheme of Republican Senators to impeach the Attorney General in connection with the great telephone case. Host Excellent. J. J.
