The naval militia. which was authorized
a few years ago as an experiment. has now
developed into a body 'of enterprising young
men. active and energetic in the discharge
of their duties and promising great useful-
ness. This establishment has nearly the
same relation to our navy as the national
guard in the different stews bears to our
array. and it constitutes a source of supply
for our naval forces the importance of
which is immediately apparent.
The Interior, Department.
The report of the secretary of the interior
presents a comprehensive and interesting
exhibit of the numerous and important at
fairs committed to his supervision.
The money appropriated on account of
this department and for its disbursement
for the fiscal year ended J one 30. 1895.
amounted to more than $157,000,000. or a
greater sum than was appropriated for the
routine maintenance of the government for
the two fiscal years ended J one m). 1861.
Our public. lands. originally amounting
to 1.840.000.000aores, have been] soriulucud
' that only about 600,000,000 acres still re-
main in government control. excluding
Alaska.
1 agree with the sum-tory that the re;
maindcr of our public lands should be
more carefully dealt with and their alien-
ation guarded by better economy and great-
er prudence.
The total Indian population of the Unit--
ed States is 177,235. according to a census
made in 1895. exclusive of those within
the state of New York and those «impris-
ing the five civilized tribes Of this mun-
ber there are approximately 38,000 children
of school age. During the your 23.393 of
these were enrolled in schools.
Pensions.
The diminution of our enormous pen.
slon roll and the decrease of pension expend-
iture. which have been so often confident-
ly foretold, still fail in material realization.
The number of pensioners on the rolls of
the close of the fiscal year ended June 30.
1896. was 970,678. This is the, largest
number over reported. The mnount paid
exclusively for pensions during the year
was 8] 38.214.761.94, a slightr ‘crcuso from
that of the. preceding year. vv lilo the total
expenditures on acommt of pensions. in-
cluding the cost of maintaining thedcpart
ment and expenses attending pension dis
tribution. amounted to $1-i2.‘2iid.n.’iil.59. or
within a very small fmctiou of one-third
of the entire expense. of supporting the
government during the same year. 'l‘hv
number of new pension cerfiilcafcs issued
was 90,640. Of these, 40.374 represent
original allowances of claims and lh.>l7¥

Department of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture is so in-
timately related to the Welfare of our peo-
ple and the prosperity of our nation that it
should cimstantly receive the care and en-
. couragement of the government.
Vader the present management of the
department its usefulness has been en-
hanced in every direction. and at the same
time strict economy has been enforced to
the utmost extent permitted by oongrcs
slonal action. “ ' f

This might be obviated and any fear of

moved by allowing the organization of

authorizing existing lainks to establish

The entire case may be presented by the
statement that the day of sensible and
sound financial methods will not dawn
upon us until our government nhandom

of funds and confines its monetary opera

Another topic in which our people right-
fully take a deep interest may be here
briefly considenul. I refer to the exisfoncc

wholesome competition. When these an

though they increase profits. they also re
ducc prices. and thus may hem-lit the pub-

a reduction of prices to the people is not
one of the real objects of these organizer
tions. nor is their tendency necessarily in
that direction. If it Occurs in a particular
case. it is only because it “(muffin with the
purposes or interests of those managing

Such occasional results fall for short of
compensating the palpable evils charged to
the account of trusts and monopolies

To the instinctive belief that such is the
