The law now prorlj m a pension for every soldier ind SAllor who was miutcred Into the service "of the United Statos during the civil war and Is now ItifTerinff from wound or disease having an origin tu the service and In tho line ot duty. Two of tho three necessary facta, vis., mutter and disability, re usually susceptible of easy proof; but tbo third, origin la the service. Is often difficult, and In many deserving cases Impossible to establish. That very many of thosa who endured the hard ihtps of our most Moody and arduous campalgua ire now dlsablod from diseases that bad a real but not traceable origin In tho service I do not doubt Besides these there Is another clftS4 'composed of men many of whom served an enlistment of three full years, and ot re-enlisted veterans who sdded a fourth year of service, who escaped the' casualties of battle and the assaults of disease, who were always ready for any detail, who were In every battle'linoof their command, and were tnusterod out lu sound health, and have, siucothe close of tho war, while fighting with the same Indomitable and- Independent spirit the contests ot civil life, been overcome by disease or cos ualty. I am not unaware that the pension roll alreadv Involves a very large annual expenditure, neither m I deterred by that fact from recommending that congress crant 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 disease or casualty aro In- aoacltftteU from earning It. Many of tho men ffho would be Included In this form of relief aro Dow dependent upon public aid, and It does not, In my Judgment, consist with the national honor that they shall continue to subsist upon the local relief given Indiscriminately to paiiiera Inst'-ml of upon the special and gonerou provision of the nation they served so gallantly and unselfishly. Our poople will. I am suns, very gcucmlly np prove such legislation. And I am equally sure list tlio survivors or the union army and navy vrlll tV-el a grateful sense of relief nuou this trorthy and suffering class of their comrades is telrly cored for. There aie somo manifest Inequalities In the ex isting law that should be remedied. To some of these the seoretary of tho interior has called at- Ulhtloil. It Is KratlfyiuK to be ablo to state that by the Vdoptlon ot new and better methods In the war I'-partment the cans or tne pension ouice for In- ff rmatlon as to tho military aud hospital records 31 pension claimants are now promptly answered, 1 the Injurious nnd vexatious delays that have i-etoforo occurred aro entirely avoided. This n- d greatly facilitate tho adjustment of all pand jig claims. (The president then spenks of tho four new dates.) Protection of Xl.tllroirl Kmployes. The attention of the inter 'nte commerce com -iisi-lon has been called to the ureent need ol -sgrt'sstonal legislation for the better protection ol the lives and limbs of those engaged In oiierat Ing tbo great Interstate freight lines of the couu try, and especially oi the yardmen nnd brake mon. A petition, signed by nearly 10,000 railway brakemen, was presented to the.commlsslon, ask Ing that steps might be taken to bring about the us? ot automatic brakes and couplers on frelghi care. At a meeting of state railroad commissioner. and tlicir accredited representatives, held at Washington In March lost, 'mon the Invitation ol the interstate commerce commission, a resolutlor was unanimously adopted urging the commission to consider what can be done to prevent the low of life and limb In coupling and uncoupling freight cars, and In handling the brakes or such cars.' During tho year ending Juno 80, 1888, over 2,0uu railroad employes were killed In service, and more than 0,000 Injured. It is competent, I think, for congress to rcquhv uniformity in the construction of cars used in in tcrstaia commerce, ana me use or improveii safety appliances upon such trains. Time will u necessary to make the needed changes, but an earnest and Intelligent beginning 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 lilnb us great as that of a soldier In time or war, (Tho president then speaks of tho depart ment of ngricdlturo, the weather service, and the District of Columbia.) The proposition to observa the four hundreth anniversary of the discovery of America by the opening of a world's fair or exposltlod lu some ono of our great cities will b3 presented for the consideration of congress. Tho vuluo and Inter est of FUch an exposition may well claim the pro motion of the general government. Zii the ooui-so ol lengthy refercBco to the civil servico commisslou, he says: Tlie reform of the civil service will make nc safe or satisfactory advance until the present law and its equal administration are well established in the confidence of the people. It will bo.my pleasure, as It I my duty, to see that tho law Is executed with firmness and Impartiality, If some of Its provisions have been fraudulently evaded by appointing odlccrs, our resentment shoulj not suggest the repeal of the law, but re form In its administration. We should have one view of tho matter, and hold It with a sincerity that la not affected by tlie consideration that the party to which we belong Is for the time In power. My predecessor.'on the 4th day of January, 1889, by an executive, order to take effect March 15, brought the railway mall sorvlce under the opera tlon of the civil rcrvlco law. Provision was made that the order should take effect soonor in any state where an eligible lUt was sooner obtained On the 11th day of March, Mr. Lyman, then the Only member of tho commission, reported to uu Jn writing that it would not bo possible to have the list of ellglbk's ready before May 1, and re quested that tho taking effect of the order be postponed until' that time, which was done, sub lect to tbo sai no provision contained in the oriid- nal order as to states in which an eligible list was sooner ooiaineu. As a result of the revision of the rules, ot the new classification, and of the Inclusion of the rail way mall service, the work of the commission lias been greatly Increased, and tho present clerical force is round to he Inadequate. I recommend that tlie additional clerks asked by the commU sion bo appropriated for. I am satisfied that both In and out of the classl fled service great benefit would accrue from the adoption of some system by which the offlcei would receive the distinction and benefit that, In an pnvalo employments, comes from exceptional I faithfulness and efllcieucy-ln the iwrformonco of d-uty. j I have tuggitsted to the heads of the executive departments that they consider whether a record uihjht not be kept In each bureau of all those ele ments that aro covered by tho terms "faithful neea" and "t fflcieuey,",aud a rating made showing the relative merits ot the clerks of each class, thic rating to ho regarded as a test of merit in making promotions. I hate also suggested to the postmaster general that he adopt home plan by which he can, upon the basis of the reiorU to the department and ol frequent Inspections, Indicate the relative merit uf postmasters of each class. They will be ap propriately Indicated in the officio.! register and In the report of the department That a great sthn ulus would thus be given to the wholo servico I do not doubt, md such a reoord would be the best defense against Inconsiderate removal from office (The president here suggests n national rt perimvn'.al grant in aid of education.) . The "Color Question." 1 The colored people did not Intrude themselves . upon us; they w el e brought herein chains and held lu tho communities where they aro now chielfy found, by a cruel slave code. Happily for f both race they are now free. They have, from a standpoint of Ignorance and poverty, which was our suame, not meirs, made remarkable ad vances In o lucAtiou and In tlie acquisition of I roperty. They have, a a people, shoivu them selves to be f l iendiy and faithful towards the i white race, under temptatous of tremcndoin. , strength. They have their repteeentatlvej tu thu national cemeteries where a grateful government , Las gathered the ahus of thoo who died In its 1 defenss. They have furnished to our regular army regl meats that hate wou high praise from their conv I mandiug officers for courage and soldierly quail ties, and for fidelity to the euatment oath. Iu civil life they are now the toilers of their com uiunities, making their full contribution to the 1 widening ..It-earns of prosperity which these com muultios are receiving. Their auddeu withdrawal would stop production, and brfug disorder int the household as well as the shop. Generally, they do uot desire to quit their homes, and theli employer resent the Interference of the cinigra tlon agent wbo seek to stimulate such a desire. But, notvt llhstaudlug aU this. In many parts of our oimli-y wheru the colored population 1 Urge ihe people of that race are, by various devices, leprlved of any effective exercise of their politi cal right and of mauy of their civil rights. Tlie wrong does uot expend IuaU upon those whose votes are suppressed. Every constituency In tho Union I wronged. It has been the hope of every patriot that sense of justice and ot respect for the taw would work a gradual cure ot these flagrant evils. Surely no one suppose that the present can tie accented a a permanent condition, int I said that these communities must work out thl prob lem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether they are at work upon It Do they suggest any solution? When and under what condition is the black wan to have a free ballot!

No evil, however d.ploi ablo, can justify the assumption, either on the part ot tho executive or of congress, ot power sot granted; but both will be highly blamable If all the power granted are not wisely but firmly Used to correct these evil.
