EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The President’* Messags.
The president speaks on Ihe
following in his message f<* con
gress, 3rd. inst.; Our foreign
relations with other govern
ments to maintain good will,
cordiality and peace. Reconi
mends the “Martino Congress;”
believes it wi.l be beuoiicial to
till nations concerned. Ilecom
mends that the fisheries’ ques
tion between Canada aid the
United States be amicably sel
tied by an inter national survey
of the streams—giving ea:h its
proper boundaries of jurisdic
tion. Recommends the comple
tion ef the Nicaragua caual—
believes it to be of great import
ance <© the commerce of the
country, and in fact to the u: i
verse. Is pleased with our for
eign exhibits at the recent Paris
exposition, and mentions the
fact that our government has ac
cepted an invitation of Belgium
to tiko part ia an inter national
congress to abolish the slave
trade in Africa, and prevent
their shipment by sea. Recom
mends our friendly intercourse
with Brazil—our cordial recog
nition with the new republic, *s
soon s the majority of the peo
ple of Brazil shall have signified
their support to the new govern
ment. Calls the immediate at
tention of congress to the targe
meney surplus now in the treas
ury; thinks the surplus should
be reduced to the actual teceipts
of running the government; the
remainder to be let out. to banks
without interest, on security of
government bonds, in order that
the commercial interests of the
country may not become stag
nant and deficient in business
industries. Believes a revision
of the tariff, both in its adminis
trative features and in the sched
ule, would be of great benefit.
Believes the tobacco tax should
bo abolish*!. Does not endorse
the coinage ot too much silver;
1 bisks it will depreciate the val
ue ot the coin in its minimum
price with gold. Endorses lho
Chinese exclusion, and com
mends an improvement on the
coast defense —thinks the pres
ent is not sufficient. Recoai
mends the improvement and
protection of our harbors and
streams. Recommends the pro
tection of our court officials—
thinks the recent attack on Jus
tice Field of the Supreme court,
demands the special attention
ot congress. Asks congress to
see how far the restraint of
trusts and monopolies come un
der federal jurisdiction. Thinks
the enactment of an inter na-
tionai copy right law, etc.,
would be wisj and just. Thinks
ihe naturalization laws should
be revised so as ‘do make the
inquiry into Ihe moral character
and good disposition towards
our government, o 1 the peieons
Applying for citizenship, more
thoroughly.” This is worthy
Tie consideration and attention
oi congress. There is too many
coming to this counlry v.ilh a
rebellious spirit lowavd sur gov
ernment. The president thinks
an improvement of transmission
©t'the hi its can be made. W©
