President’s Message.
Four subjects in President Cleve-
land’s message will be read with deep
interest. They are his utterances on
the Hawaiian policy,the currency ques-
tion, including possibilities of a bond
issue and further legislation on silver ;
the tariff and the income tax. On some
of these matters his recommendations
will be a disappointment. '
The country has not agreed with the
Administration on the Hawaiian ques-
tion, and is not likely to be converted
by anything in the message. The-Presi-
dent practically indorSes Secretary
Gresham’s suggestions in toto, and fa-
vors restoration. ‘
On the currency question the mes-
sage is excellent and sound to the core,
deprecating immediate legislation or
the enactment of any measure of a
temporary character, favoring post-
ponement of the Brussels conference
and asking that the authority conferred
on the Secretary of the Treasury to is-
sue bonds be made more specific.
The President writes sensibly on the
tariff. recognizing the necessity for ac-
tion, while suggesting that changes
must not be unnecessarily sudden or
unfair.
In the recommendation for a small,
and if possible temporary income tax,
the President evidently appreciates
the unpopularity of such a measure. It
is to be regretted that he does not urge
economy rather than an income tax,
however small. To suggest a tax on
corporate income sounds a little like
class legislation, and that is opposed
to Democratic principles.
Taken as a whole, the message is a
practical, matter-of-fact document.
[N. Y. Sun]
The message submitted yesterday
~may fairly be criticised as unsatisfac-
tory in its range, if not actually eva-
sive in its intention.
[Hartford Coin-ant]
Tue essence of the whole messdge is
the tariff, and as to that the condition
of the country today tells a straighter
story than the message can and one
that reaches thorm. oils of homes where
the message will never be read.
[N. Y. Advertiser.l
Upon the whole Mr. Cleveland’s
Message does not caray with it much
that will encourage the American peo-
pie or reassure them as to the aprre-
hensions that lisprang up when the
Democratic party was placed in control
of our National affairs last fall. The
document is not of a hopeful tone, in
any of its parts.
. [N. Y. Tribune-l
In its treatment of nearly all domes-
tic questions, the message is creditable
in character, not more verbose than is
usual for Mr. Cleveland, and in the
main reasonable in its suggestions. But
the country will judge this message,
and the President himself, mainly by
the position he has taken regarding the
question which most vitally affects the
., industries and the earnings of Ameri-
can workingmen. '7'
[N. 1". Press] .
Not a word cfzrelief, not a line Of
cheer, not a sentence of hope in Presi—
dent Cleveland’s message. No promise
of better times, no awakening to the
necessities of our distressed wage
earners, no recognition of the apalling
condition of the country, no demo:
stration of statesmanship, no evidence
of patriotism. Shorn of the usual cant
about economy, of the author’s scru-
ples about “‘a generous and confiding
people,” his" barren solicitudes for
“many of our people engaged in a hard
struggle for the necessaries of life,”
and his egotistical assurances of “my
willing support” for the advancement
of “our beloved country,” the docu-
ment before us is an unusually uninter-
esting as it is ingeniously unsatisfac-
tory.
Liquor in South Carolina.
Gov. Tillman’s message toithe South
Carolina Legislature deals at some
length and in very breezy style with
the operation and the effect of the dis-
pensary law which has now been in
force since the 1st of July last. Speak-
ing of the underlying purpose of the
law, the Governor, after explaining
that the net profit to the State for the.
first four months, July, August, Sep-
tember and October, amounts to the
' sum of $32,198.16, goes on to say :
"‘But, notwithstanding this revenue
is not to be despised, the law does not
rest on a revenue basis, was not enact-
ed for that purpose, anchannot be de-
fended on that ground. It rests wholly
on its claim to being the best method
of controlling the evils iwhich are in-
herent and inseparable from the intem-
perate use of liquors, and must stand
or fall on its merits as compared with
other methods of controlling the evil.”
Further along he gives an interesting
summary of the moral considerations
involved, and the advantage to society
that are realized by the practical opera-
tion of the law. He classifies thus:
“let. ' The element of personal profit *
is destroyed, thereby removing the in-
centive to increase the sales. ’
“2d. A pure article is guaranteed,
as it is subject to chemical analysis.
f W ELKLY
& . .
“3d. The consumer obtains honest
measure of standard strength.
"‘4th. Treating isia'étoppcd, as the
bottles are not opened on the premises.
“5th. It is sold only in theday time ;
this under a regulation of-' the board
and not under the law. ..
“6th. The concomitants of ice, sugar,
lemons, etc., being removed, there is
not the same inclination to drink .re-
Imaming, and the closing of, the saloons,
especially at night, and theiprohibition
of its sale by the drink, destroy the
enticements and seductions which have
caused so many men and boys to be led
astray and enter on the downward
course.
“7th. It is sold only for cash, and
there is no longer ‘chalking up’ for
daily drinks against pay day. The
workingman buys his bottle of whiskey
Saturday night and carries the rest of
his wages home. . '
“8th. Gambling dens, pool rooms,
and lewd houses, which have hitherto
been run almost invariably in connec-
tion with the saloons, which were thus
a stimulus to vice, separated from the
sale {of liquor, have had their patronage
reduced to a minimum, and there ‘must
necessarily follow a decrease of crime.
“9th. The local whisky rings, which
have been the curse of every munici-
pality in the state, and have always
controlled municipal elections, have
been torn up roof and branch, and the
influence of the barkeeper as a politi-
cal manipulator is absolutely destroyed.
The police, removed from the control
of these debauching elements, will en-
force the law against evil doing with‘
more vigor, and a higher tone and
greater purity in all governmental af-
fairs must result.”

The Pace That Kills.
The Rev. Dr. Paxton’s case, says the '
New York Advertiser, has become quite
interesting to the community and has
in it a lesson for that large class which
devotes itself to sedentary and mental
application as professional men.
Dr. Paxton as a youth was a gallant
soldier in the Union Army. His record
is a good one. He was engaged 1n many
battles, in all of which he was conspic-
uous for gallantry and the display of
heroic qualities, which won him rank
and reputation. In other respects he
was a geod soldier. In the endurance
of the hardships aid ‘ . 1 of
march, camp ahd bivouac, when the
strength of his system was ~sapped in-
sidiously but no less certainly than if
he had been “shot to pieces,”he showed
the same heroic qualities that charac-
terized him in time of battle.
At the close of the war he prepared
himself for the ministry. He spent,his
seven years in arduous study and then
entered upon his life work. For more
than twenty years he has been known
as a remarkably industrious as well as
successful clergyman. As time went
on and his ability grew and manifested
itself, his field widened and year by
year more was required of him.
Dr. Paxton is a born leader and a
man of most intense nature. He does
his work with an absorbing enthusiasm
which burns up the oil with fearful
prodigality. He spent himself on every
sermon or address with that abandon of
devotion that a sincere man always
giveshis task. And this for more than
twenty years. And as time went on his
army hardships began to countftill at
last the two broke him down. or threat-
ened so seriously to do so that he wisely
called a halt. Let us hope that he has
stopped in time.
The lesson for profesSionai men is ob-
vious. . They must take life easier. It
is better to be content with a smaller
success than to break down at that age
when a man ought to be at his beSt, with
years of good work ahead of him.

What the Grand Army Journal (Uti—
ca, N..Y.,) sayslof Dr. David
Kennedv’s Favorite
Remedy.
remembered by many an old sol-
dier, as president of the Examin-
ing Board of Surgeons for. the dis-
charge of invalid soldiers at the Sater-
lee, U. S. A., General Hospital. West
Philadelphia, Pa..found the need of a
medicine that would disSolve the ex-
cess of uric acid in the blood, which is
the cause of many ailments physicians
encounter; kidney, liver and urinary
troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism,scrofu-
1a, salt rheum, nervousness and sleep-
lessness, all arise from ‘this one cause.
After patient toil and experiment, Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy was finally
produced.
That it met the want and accomplish-
ed the cure of these various diseases is
evident by the grateful acknowledg-
of the country. , _
There are few Grand Army men more
better known than Commander James
S. Dean, of General Grant Post, Rond-
out, N. Y. In speaking of Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy, Commander
Dean recently said: “I suffered from
an aggravated stomach trouble and‘l
chronic dyspepsia for years. Various
physicians prescribed for me without
benefit. After using Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy but a week, Ifelt bet-
ter, and alittle further use completely
cured me.’ It is the grandest medicine
on earth, cures dyspepsia, stomach dis-
orders, and builds up a broken down
or overworked person, for I am a living
testimonial to its merit.” .
Mr. Wilbur L. Hale, Quartermaster,
Pratt Post, G. A. R., Kingston, N. Y.,
speaks with equally as forcible words.
“After I returned from the war,” said
Mr. Hale, “I had a most horrible case
Of Salt Rheum; doctors gave me up,
but Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
healed every sore, strengthened my
nerves, built up my weakened constitu-
tion; I now enjoy life.”
Mr. F. C. Brink, of Poughkecpsie,
N. Y,, suffered from catarrh of the
bladder and kidney complaint for 20
years, and had given up all hope of
finding relief, when Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy was brought to his
notice and by the time he had taken the
, fourth bottle, his trouble had entirely
disappeared.
It is a medicine that cures, and we
can do no better service to persons who
may be suffering from disease than to
say, use Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Reme-
dy. It will cure you.

THE 'AI‘IERICA DISABLED.
A Traitor on Board Brazil’s New
“'ar Ship.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.——The Herald says
that the Brazilian cruiser America, which
sailed from New York for Rio Janeiro on
the night of Nov. 26" for the purpose of
fighting the rebel Admiral Mello’s war-
ships, is lying at Bridgetown, Barbadoes,
so seriously disabled by the act of an un-
known traitor among her crew that she
will probably be unable to continue her
voyage for several weeks. .
A cable message was received by Flint &
CO. from the “'est Indies announcing that
one of the vessel’s Valves, among the most
vulnerable parts of a ship’s machinery,
had been purposely broken by Some un-
known member of the crew, and that the
vessel had thereby been so seriously in-
jured that a long delay must occur before
she could continue her voyage.
In view of the latter fact, it was an-
nounced in the cubiegram that the cruiser
Nictheroy, which left St. Thomas with the
, America for Rio Janeiro last Sun day night,
has continued the voyage alone.
The traitor, it is said, did his work last
Monday. The indications are said to point
most strongly to the traitor being in the
engineer’s division, as a person who does
not understand machinery would not
know which particular pm. «to attack to
produce the results obtained in this in-
stance.
THE B. H. \VARNER CODIPANY.
Various Schemes to Liquidatc Its
Numerous Debts.
LONDON, Dec. 8.;e'l'he annual meeting
of. H. H. \Varner & Co, limited, . was
held. Thomas \Villiam Boord, 'member
of parliament, was re—electcd president.
Director Shares desired that the dividend
on the preference shares be passed so as
to enable the company to use its profits to
liquidate its indebtedness. lie also was
in favor of absorbing future profits to pay
debts rather than to izssuc debentures, as
had been proposed. 'lhc directors refused
to allow a committee of the shareholders
to examine the books, but offered to give
all information to individual shareholders.
The directors objected to an inquiry on
the ground that it wOuld be unwise to
make the affairs of the company too pub-
lic pending the legal actions in America
brought by persons when Mr. Warner
transferred his shares
