This general subject has had eonaideration in congress for some years, and the appropriation for the construe- tion of large rifled guns, made one year a-m was, 1 the ^ am sure, expression of a Jnircha-o to provide suitable works in which these guns might lie mounted. An appropriation now made for that iwffnose would »«)t advance the completion “f the works beywnd our ability to suiq.lv them with fairlvef- fective guns.

THE ASSAULT ON .M DOK FIELD. The assault made by David S. Terry u\>oii the person of Just ice Field, of the supreme court of the United States, at Lathrop, California, in August last, and the killing of the assailant by a deputy United States marshal, who had been deputed to accompany Justice Field and to pro¬ tect him from anticipated violence at the bands of Terry, in connection with the legal prtieeeth¬ ings which have followed, suggest 'questions which in my judgment are worthy of the atten¬ tion of eongress. I recommend that more defi¬ nite provision Iw* made by law, >VT)t only for the protection of Federal officers, but for a full trial of such cases in the United States court. I 11 reeom-- mending such legislation, I do not at all inqw*e<>. either the general adequacy of the provision made by the state laws for the protection of all citizens, or the general good disjiOsHion of those charged with the execution of such laxvs to give protection to the officers of the United States. The duty of protecting its officers as such, and of punishing those, xvho assault them on account of tlieir official acts, should not Ih* devolved ex¬ pressly or by acquiescence upon the local author¬ ities. PROTECTION OK WITNESSES, Events which have been brought to mv atren- tion, happening in other parts of the country, have also suggested the propriety of extending bv legislation fuller protection to those who may •United be called as xvitnesses in the courts of the States. Flic law appeals to those who ire supposed to have knowledge of public offenses To Attend upon our courts and grand juries and to give evidence. There is a manifest resulting dnty that these witnesses shall be protected from injury on account of their testimony. The in- vestigation of criminal offenses is often rendered futile, and the punishment of crime impossible by the intimidation of witnesses. lXTU.UMl'.PI VTK AlTKl l,\TE ClH UtS, The necessity ol providing some speedy method for disposing of the cases which now come for final adjudication to the supreme court room. i- every year more apparent and , urgent, baviiig^fi'i"^'''^^'!^* mi Vire S< hirisdhqh'n easel < \^ t °ci'rtTb'i H w , f ions and nafmniet has i think re ,-e xed rioiv -re. cr 1 itTont ,,oh and bar of lm country lian im other B atteiiij a tc i ui-ig M.ig to t discuss • u ■ details dtt.i I iriiommend recommend that l, r provision be nuu e tor t ic esta 'lisinent of such courts IM RE \sK OK SALARIES. The salaries of the judges of district courts in many of the districts are. in my judgment, inad¬ equate. 1 recommend that all such salaries that are now below t?f >.000 i*er annum Ih* increased-to that amount. It is quite true that the amount of labor performed by these judges is very une¬ qual. as they cannot properly engage in other pursuits to supplement their incomes. The sal¬ ary should be such in all vases as to provide an independent and comfortable support. THE TRUSTS. Earnest attention should be given by congress, to a consideration of the question how far the restraint of those combinations of capital com¬ monly called “trusts" is a matter of federal ju¬ risdiction. When organized, as they often are. to crush out all healthy competition, and to monopolize the production or sale of an article of commerce, and general necessity, they are dangerous con¬ spiracies against the public good, and should lie made the subject of .prohibitory and even penal legislation. INTERN A TION A L COPYRIGHT. The subject of an international copyright has been frequently commended to the attention of congress by my predecessors. The enactment of such a law would be eminently wise and jnst. NATURALIZATION LAWS. ‘ Our naturalization laxvs should lie so revised i as to make the inquiry into the moral character and good disposition towards our government of ! the persons applying for citizenship more thor- 1 ough.

Substantial progress has b<-c»i made in the education of the children of school age and in t !, e C.U'otments of lauds to adult Indians- It 5s to lw* regretted that the pol¬ icy Of breaking up the tribal relation and of deal¬ ing with the Indian as an individual, did not ap¬ pear early in our legislation. Large reserva¬ tions, held in common, and the maintenance of the authority of the chiefs ami head men have deprived the individial of every incentive to the exercise of thrift, and the annuity has Contri¬ buted an affirmative impulse towards a state of confirmed pefijierism. with Our fidelity, treaty stipulations should lie 'Observed considerate and our legislation should l.e highly Of the best interest of an ignorant and helpless people. The reservations are now generally Wc. surrounded V>y White settlements. Can no longer it push the Indian back into the wilderness-, Aud remains only bv a suitable agehey to push hiiA upward into tiie state of a self-supporting and bespupsible citizen. For the adult, the first step is to locate him upon a farm*, for the child, to place him in a school. Scho'M attendance should be nr minted 1 • t\erv moral agenev. and those failing should be complied. The national schools for Indians have hem, very successful c.ttd should be multi- plied. and as far as possible should be so organ- i*ed and unfiducted as to facilitate the transfer •d tfie schools to ,he states or territories i» which they are located, when Indians in a neigh- borhood have accepted citizenship, and have be- come otherwite fitted for such a transfer. This condition of things will be attained slOwl.Y, but it will be hastened by keeping it in mind, ahd; in the meantime, that eo-o wratiofi between the government and the misstoh sbhdols. Which lias wrought much good, ShrtttlVi be cordially and im- partially maintained. The last congress enacted tv-o illstinct laws relating to negotiations with the Sioux Indians of Dakota for relinquishment of a portion of their lands to the United States, and for dividing the remainder into separate reservations. Both were approved oh the same day, March 2nd. The one submitted to the lit- dians a specific proposition; the other, section % of the Indian appropriatibh act, authorized the president m appoint three Wtniimissioners to negotiate with those Indians ft* the accomplish- ment of the same general purpose, should and required that any agreements made be submitted M congress fmr ratification. On the h’.th day of April last I appointed Hon. Uhafles Foster, of Ohio, Hon. IVm, Kainer, of Missouri, and Major General George Crook, of the United States army, commissioners under the last named laxv. They were, however, an- thorized and directed: first, to submit to the In- dians the detiinite proposition made them by the act first mentioned, and only in tile ex ent of fai ure, to se< ure the assent of a requisite num- i e r to that proposition to open negotiations for ,n,,d * d ’ d fvrms under the other act. The work the eoiimnssion was prolonged and arduous, but th ° a f wnt of a number, it is ul ' d ersUKul wa 9 flna . ^ , vabta \ nedt, ‘ the P/ 0 > ositirtn i by congress though the report of the com- mission has not yet been submitted. In view of these facts, l shall, not at present advised, deem it necessary to submit the agreement to congress for ratification but it xvill. in due course, lx* suh- mined for information. This agreement releases to the United States about nine million acres of land. The commission, provided for by section 14 of the Indian appropriation hill, to negotiate with the Cherokee Indians and ail other Indians owning or claiming lands lying west of the ninety-sixth degree of longitude for the cession to the United States of all such lands, was constituted by the appointment of Hon. Lucius Fairchild of Wisconsin; Hon. Joi n F. Hartranft of Uennsylvama. and Hon. Alex. M. Wilson, of Arkansas, and organized on June •29th last. Their first conference with the representatives of the Cherokees was held at Talilequah. July 29 with no definite results. General John F Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, was presented by ill-health from taking part in the conference, Hisdeath. which occurred recently, is justly generally conspicuousgaliantry lamented by a j>e<>ple he had served with in war and with great fidelity in peace. The vacancy thus created was filled by the appointment of Warren G. Sayre, of Indiana. V second conference between the commission and the Cherokees was begun November 6 th, but no results have yet been obtained, nor is it l>e- lieved that a conclusion can be immediately ex- peeted. The cattle syndicate, now occupying the lands for grazing purposes, is clearly one of the agencies responsible for the obstructions of our negotiations with the Cherokees. The large bodies of agricultural lands constituting what is known as the “Cherokee outlet.” ought not to lie, and indeed cannot long be held for grazing and for the adx antage of a few against the pub- lie interests and the best advantage of the lndi- as * 5 themselves. The l mted States has now under the treaUes “rum rights in these lands, These will not be used oppressively, but it can- not be allowed thal those who by any sufferance occupy these lands shall interpose to defeat the wise and beneficent purpose of the government. I cannot but bc’iex-e that the advantageous char- aeter of the offer made by the United States to the Cherokee nation, for a full release of these j an ds, as compared with other suggestions now made to them, will yet obtain from them a fa- vorabl* consideration. Under tb« agreement made between the United States and the Muscogee ,or Creek) nation of In- dians on flfce :9th day of January, I&S9. an abso- lute title was secured to the United States to about three and a half nhllion of acres of land. Secticij J2 of the genera! Indian appropriation act. appwved March 2, I8S9, made provision for the pureH#*« by the United States from the Sem. ipolf trjbe of $ pertain portion of their lands, under the homestead law. But of the lands em- braced in these purchases, being in the aggre- gate about five and a half million acres, three and a half million acres had already, under the terms of the treaty of 1866, beeh acquired by the U nited States for the purpose of settling other Indian tribes thereon, and had been appropriated to that purpose. The land remaining and availa- ble to settlement consisted of t,s*7.T96 acres, sur- rounded on all sides by lands in the occupancy of Indian trilies. Congress had provided no civil government for the people who were to l>e invited by niv proclamation. to settle upon these lands, except as the new court whirh had Keen established at Muscogee, or the United States court in some of the ad- joining states, had power to embrace the gen- eral laws of the United States. On account of the condition of things, I was quite reluctant to open the lands to settlement, but in view of the fa,:t t,1a * Kpve tal tlibusahd persons, many of them With their families, had gathered upon the ,K>rders *> f the Indian territory with a view of Mts oh the ceded lands, and that delay Trou,<1 involve them in much loss and suffering, I did dn the 23d day of Match last, il ' su< ‘ a proclamation declaring tliat the lands therei . “ de scril>ed would be open to settlement 1 UIM, the provisions ? r of the law on the 22 d day of A|>n ! following at 12 o’clock noon.

In order to secure the peace of this new com- ,nu " lt J '! n the absence of civil government, I di- rected . General Merritt, commanding the‘ depart- '\ lPnt of the Missouri, to act in conjunction with the marshals of the Eluted States to preserve the peace, audupoh their requisition to use the trOops to aid them in securing Warrants ahd in quieting ally note of breach of the peace that «ccur He Was further directed to me ^v’cSrts t <*-« mK.ts iSXt tietweeh TXT?™ ot with tile . tt.ei.. l * that tWe introductioh a.lit ^ l *«t liquors xvhere , «o legal restraints or peace; |^iilatlohs ahd m exined view of would ttie fcict endanger that such the liquors public must first be introduced iiito the tiidian reserva- tions before reaching the white settlements, I further directed the general commanding to on- force tfie laws relating to the introduction of ar- dent spirits into the country.

In one instance the officer in imme¬ diate command of the troops went further than I deemed justifiable in supporting the de- facto municipal government of Guthrie, aud he was so informed, and directed to limit the interference of the military to the support Of the marshals On the lines huiicdted ih tiie origi¬ nal Order, it is very urgently recotkimended that congress at ohee provide a territorial gbvernmeht for this pe'dple. SeHous questions, which may at aliV time lead to violent outbreaks, are await¬ ing the provision.qf the courts for their peace¬ ful adjustment. The American genius for self- government has been well illustrated iji Okla¬ homa', but It is neither safe nor wise to leave this people longer to tlieir experiments which have temporarily served them.

The law now provides a pension for every soldier and sailor who was mustered into the service of the United States during the civil xvar and is now suffering from wounds or dis- ease having an origin in the service and in the line of duty. Two of the necessary facts, viz.: muster and disability, are usually susceptible of easy proof.but the third, origin in the service, is often difficult, and in many deserving cases im- possible to establish. That very many of those who endured the hardships of our most bloody and arduous campaign are now disabled man diseases that had a real but not traceable ori gin in the service I do pot doubt, Besides, there is another class composed of psen many of whom served an enlistment of three years, of re-enllst- ed veterans who added 4 fonjtlt year ol service, who escaped tjw casualties of little and the »»- sa»!t« of disease, who were always ready for asy ^UliliPS Hili^i reeom - mending that congress grant a pension to such honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the civil war as having rendered substantial service during the war. are now dependent upon their own labor for maintenance, and by “ casualty Many are incapacitated from 'earning of the men w ho would iw included in this form of relief are now dependent upon public aid. and it does not. in mv judgment. sist with national honor ’that thev shall continue to subsist upon the local relief Indiscriminately special to jumpers, instead of upon the aiul generous provision of the nation they served so gallantly and unselfishly.

To some of these the secretary of the interior lias called attention. Tt is gratifying to be able tb state that by the adoption of new and better methods in the war department, the calls of the pension office for information as to the military and hospital re- cords of pension claimants are now properly an- swered, and the injurious and vexatious delays that have heretofore occurred are entirely avoid- ed. This will greatly facilitate the adjustment of all pending claims. the four new states. The advent of four new Btates , South Dakota, North Dakota. Montana and Washington, into the Union under the constitution in the same nionth, and the admission of their duly chosen representatives for the national congress at the saine session, is an event as unexampled as it is interesting The certification of the votes cast and of the constitutions adopted in each of the states was filed with me, as required by the eighth section of the act of February 22,18*9, by tp e governors of said territories respectively, Having. after a careful examination, found that the several Constitutions anr j governments wefe republican ih form and hot repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, that all tke provisione of fHe act of congress had been complied with, and that a majority of the votes east in each of tile said proposed states was in favor of the adoption of t,fie constitution submitted therein. I did so de- clare by a separate proclamation to each; as to North Dakota and South Dakota, on Saturday, November 2 ; as to Montana, on Friday, Novem- ber 8 , and as to Washington on Monday, Novem- ber 1 lth. Each of these states has within it resources the dex'elopment of which xvill employ the energies of,and yield a comfortable subsistence to,a great population. The smallest of these new states, Washington, stands txvelfth; and the largest, Montana, third among the forty-two in area.

It Is ..competent, 1 think, for congress to require uni¬ bninitv in the construction of cars ,,se<l 1,1 "dmstate commerce and the use <.f im- proved safety appliances upon such trains. Time will be necessary to make the needed changes, but an earnest and intelligent begin¬ ning should be made at once. It is a reproach to our civilization that any class of American workmen should, in the pursuit of a necessary and useful vocation, be subjected to a peril of life and limb as great as that of soldiers in time of war. ftlE AGRICULTURAL DEPARfMENf: The creation of an executive department; to be ktibxvn as the department of agriculture, in- the act of February 9 last, was a wise and timely re¬ sponse to a request which had long lieen re¬ spectfully urged by the farmers of the coun¬ try. But much remains to be done to perfect the organization of the department so that it may fairly realize the expectations which its creation excited, Ih tills .connection attention is cailed to ilie suggestions contained ih tiie report of the secretary, which is herewith sub- ,„j f ted. The need of a laxv officer for the depart- meat, such as is jirovided for in the other execu¬ tive departments, is manifest. The failure of r]ie last eongress to make the usual provision for the publication of the annual report should lie promptly remedied. The public interest in the report and its value to the farming community j ain sure xvill not be diminished under the new organization of the department, J recommend that the weather service lie srp- urated from the war departmentand established as a bureau in the department of agriculture, This will involve all entire reorganization both of the wbatlier bureau and of the signal corps, making of the first a purely civil organization ahd of the other a purely military staff corps, The work report of of the chief signal officer shows side that the the corps on its military Has lieen deteriorating, interests the DtsTKloT OF COLUMBIA. The Of the people IB#t fif the District . of Columbia should not he sight of in the pressure fnf consideration of measures af- fecting the whole country. Having no legislature of its own, either municipal or general, its people must look to eongress for the regulation of all those concerns which, in the states, are subject to local control, Our whole people hax e an interest that the na- tional capital should be attractive and beautiful, an d above all, that its repute for social order should be well maintained. The laws regulating the sale of intoxicating drinks in the district shbupl he revised with a view to bringing the traffic uhder stringent limitation# and control, [fi executioh of the poxver conferred upon me by the atet makihg appropriations for the ex- penses ijf the District of Columbia for the year ending June 30,1889, I did, on the 17th day of August last, appoint Rudolph Hering, of New Vork; Samuel W. Gray, Hf Rhode Island; and Krederick P ^ erds ’ 6i 'bis^achusetts, three eminent sanitar >' engineer-, to examine and re- port upon the system of sewerage existing in the District of Columbia. Their report, which is not yet completed, will be in due course submitted *° C 01 »gress. The reimrt of the commissioners of the district is herewith transmitted, and the at- of congress is called to the suggestions conta ined therein. the world’s fair. The proposition to observe the four hundredth anniversary of the discoverx- of America by the opening of a xvorld s fair or exposition in some of our great cities, will be presented for the con- siileration of congress. The value and interest of such an exposition may tend to the promotion of the general government. civil serx ice COMMISSION; r>n the fourth of March last the civil service commission had but a single member. The v a - cancies were fined on the seventh dav of Mav, and since then the commissioners have been in- dustriously. though with an inadequate force, en- gaged in executing the law. Thev were assured t)y me t ^ at a cordial support would be given them in the faithful and impartial enforement of the law and the rules and regulations adopted in al j of it. Heretofore the book of eligibles has been closed to everyone except as certifications were made upon the requisition of the appointing officers. This secrecy was the source of much suspicion and of many charges of favoritism in the administration of the law. What is secret is always suspected, What is open can be judged. The commission, w: a the full approval of all its members, has now opened the list of eligibles to the public, The eligible lists for the classified postoffites and custom houses are now ptiblich- posted in the respective offieee, as are also the certification# for appoiuanents. The purpose of the civil sep-ice law was absolutely to exclude any other consideration tn connection with appointments tnujejr it tjian of merit as tested by "she the e^amina- tjrffJ ijifi The business proceeds upon tjmory that the n^amining board# and the appointing officers are absolutely Ignorant a* to poittio*! liiiilil mamm in the confidence of the jwople. It will 1-c my pleasure, as it is niv dutv, to see that the law is executed with firmness and impartiality. If some of its provisions hive ’-een fraudulently evaded by appointing officers ..nr resentment not suggest the repeal of the law, but re- form in its administration. We should have ohe view of the matter and hold it with a sin- ceritv that is not affected bv the consideration that the partv to which we belong is for the time in power. My predecessor, on the 4th of January. isso. by an executive order to take effect .March 1Mb. brought the railway civil' mail service under the op¬ eration of the service law. Provision was made that the order should take effect sooner in any state where an eligible list was sooner ob- tatiied. Ott the 11th dav of March Mr. Lv man. then the or.lv member of the commission, re- ported to me in writing that it would not be pos- si ble to have the list of eligibles ready before May 1. and requested that the taking effect of the order must be postponed until that time, which was done, subject to the same provision contained in the original order as to the states in which ah eligible list was sooner obtained. As a result of the revision of the rules, of the new classification and of the inclusions,the labor of the commission has been greatly increased and the present clerical force is found to lie in- adequate. I recommend that the additional clerks asked by the commission be appropriated for. The duty of appointments devolved by the constitution or by the law and the appointing offlcers are properly held to a high responsibility in its exercise. The growth of the country and the consequent increase of the civil list have magnified this function of the executive disproportionally. It cannot be de¬ nied, however, that the labor connected with this necessary* work is increased, often to the point of actual distress, by the sudden and ex¬ cessive demands that are made upon an incom¬ ing administration for removals and ap¬ pointments. But on the other hand, it is not true that incumliency is a conclusive argument for a continuance in office. lic diitV, Impartiality, moderation, fidelity to pub¬ and a good attainment in the discharge of it must be added before the argument Is com¬ plete; Wileh those holding administrative offices so conduct themselves fis to convince just political opponents that no party consideration or bias affects in any way the discharge of tlieir public duties, we can more easily stay the de¬ mand for removals. I am satisfied that both in and out of the classi¬ fied service, great benefit would accrue from the adoption of some system by which the officer would receive the distinction and benefit that, in all private employments, comes from excep¬ tional faithfulness and efficiency in the perform¬ ance of duty. I have suggested to the heads of the executive departments that they consider whether a record might not be kept in each bu¬ reau of all those elements that are covered by the terms "Faithfulness” and “Efficiency,” and a rating made showing the relative merits of the clerks of each class. This rating to be rc- garded as a test of merit in making promotions. I have also suggested to file postmaster-general that lie adopt sonic plan by which he cam upon ,i..ii.i.'».i' the basis of the . reports . . to the department i and of frequent inspections, indicate the relative merit of postmasters of each class. They will be appropriately indicated in the official regis- ter and in the report of the department. That a great stimulus would thus be given to the whole service. I do not doubt, and such a record would be the best defense against inconsiderate re inovals from office. education. The interest of the general government in tin education of the people found an early expres¬ sion not only In the thoughtful and sometimes Writhing in liberal utterances of otir ablest statesmen, but appropriations from the common re¬ sources fbr the support Of education in the new states; £0 one will debt that it is of the gravest national concern that those xvlio hold the ulti- mate control of all public affairs should to TZurT direct and r e r 8ar determine L intel,,ge " them. 0 1 ? wl v Na- 1y tional aid to education has heretofore taken the form of land grants, and in that form the constitutional power of congress to promote the education of the people is not seriously ques¬ tioned. 1 do not think it can be successfully questioned now, when the form is changed to that of a direct grant of money from the public treasury. Such aid should he, as it always has been. suggested by some ex- ceptiona! conditions. Tiie sudden emanci- pation of the slaves of the south, the bestoxval of the suffrage which soon followed and the In.r.mn.n. of .h. a I,lilt, of ,„c « hcr« these new citizens were chiefly found to ade- qiiateiy provide educational facilities, presented hot onlV exception#l|lmt situation unexampled Conditions. That the has been much ameliorated there there ts is ho lioaomt. doubt The ihe atiliti ability ahd ah<i interest b-terest of <>i' the states have happily increased. But ai great; work remains to lie done,and 1 think the general government should lend its aid. Asthesugges- tion of a national grant in aid of education grows chiefly out of the condition and newels of the emancipated slave and his descendants, proceeding the relief should, as far as possible, necessarily upon some general lines, be applied to the need that suggests. It is essential, it much good is to lie accomplished, that the actix’e interest of the people of the states should be en- listed and that the methods adopted should he such a# to stimulate and not to supplant local taxation for school purposes. As one congress cannot, bind a succeeding one in such a case, and as the effort must in some degree be expen- mental, I recommend that any appropriation, made for this purpose, he so limited in annual amoiint, and as to the time over which it is to extend, as will, on the one hand, give tiie local school authorities opportunity to make the he-, use of the fim year s allowance,and on the other deliver them from the temptation to unduly postpone the assumption of the whole burden theinrelves. themselves.

It has l^en the hope of every patriot that a sense of justice and of respect for the law would work a gradual cure of these flagrant evils. Surely no one supposes t j, at {he present can be accepted cepted as a pemanent condition. If it is said that these communities must work out this problem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether they are at work upon ;*. Do they suggest any solution? When, and under what conditions, is the black man to have a frie ballot? When is he, in fact, to have those full civil rights which haxe so long been his in law? When is that equality of influence, which our form of goverment was intended to secure to the electors, to lie restored? This generation should courageously face these grave questions and not leave them as a heritage of woe of the next, The consultation should proceed with candor, calmness and great patience, ui>on the lines of justice and humanity, and not of prejudice and cruelty. No question in our country can be at rest except upon the firm base of justice and of the law. j earnestly invoke the attention of congress to the consideration of such measures, within its well defined constitutional powers, as will secure to all out people a free exercise <il the right of suffrage and ex-ery other right under the constitution an^ laws of the United .States- No pvtL Tidwever deplorable can justify the of the assumption,' executive either on ot the cougrees, part or Ot pocrer# not granted, but both will be highly blamable if all powers granted are dot wisely but firmly used to correct tb### evil#, The power to take the whole direction ar.d control of the election of the member* of the house of representatives is clearly given to the general government.

The colored man should be protected in all of his relations to the federal government whether as litigant, jn- ror or witness, in our courts, as an elector for members of congress, or as a peaceful traveler upon our interstate railways.

The legislation which I have suggested, it is sincerely* believed, will proinnts the peace and honor of our country and the prosperity and security of the people.

The court of appeals at New York haf decided to be valid the celebrated as- » gnment of Reinsdopf & Co., clothing merchants, who assigned in September, 1884, to J. W. Mack, with liabilities oi $1,283,000 and preferences about $600,- 000. Eleven suits on behalf of one hundred creditors were brought to set aside the assignment. The court de¬ cided that the preferences which were attached were bona fide and correct in every particular. T e decision affects many litigations in various stales where attaching creditors have attached large sum! of money owing to debtors, and a htrge amount of money locked up foi five years past, will now be distributed among the preferred creditors.
