D Of EDITOR. WCDHSDAl JIORSIM;, DEC. 8, 1S86. , THE MESSAGE. The second session of the Forty ninth Oongrecs began on Monday at 2 o'clock p. m. The reading of the President's message was about all the business transacted. The Pittsburgh Com.-Gazette thus suras up that docu ment : The second annual message of Pres ident Cleveland is so much like the first that it must be accepted as a dec laration on the part of the Adminis tration that th policy outlined at the beginning, however it may strike Con gress and the country, is going to be adhered to. In the discussion of our foreign relations there is an optimistic vein which bespeaks the confidence of Secretary Bayard in the ability of the State Department to settle all existing difficulties through the peaceful chan nels of diplomacy. As regards the Fisheries question, the President confesses that although disappointed in bis efforts to secure a settlement, by reason of the adverse action of the Senate, nogotiationa are still pending with reasonable hope that an acceptable conclusion will be reached before the close of the present cession of Congress. .. Mexican affairs are represented to fee of a very pleasant and satisfactory character. The unexecuted reciproci ty treaty of 1883 is again referred to, and the President makes known his intentions to enter upon negotiations with Mexico for a new and enlarged treaty of commerce and navigation. The position of the Administration as respects the Cutting incident is stated from the standpoint of Mr. Bayard, and the declaration is made that the admission of the claim of jurisdiction over American citizens set up by the Mexican Court wouU be evasive of the jurisdiction of this Government and highly dangerous to our citizens. For this reason the principle is denied, and it is hoped that in the interest of good neighborhood the Mexican statue will be modified so as to avoid conflict between the two countries. The tariff question is discussed in much the same vein as it was a year ago. The revenues must be reduced so as to correspond with the future wants of the Government, and the way to accomplish that is to reduce the tariff. The President proceeds up on the free-trade theory that the peo ple are being unduly taxed by the tariff; that the workingmen and farm ers re not getting their share of pro tection, and that the time has come for "revenue reform." Manufacturers are given to understand that they have been receiving the lion's share and that tbey must hereafter get cn with out relying upon the "leading strings" of protection. Thd problem which is thus presented to Congress is bow to reduce the tariff without injuring bus iness, lessening the volume of work or reducing the wages paid to labor. In referring to the rebuilding of the navy, the hope is expressed that the Government will nut be compelled to go abroad to purchase armor-plates or aleel for guns. It is intimated that this course may be forced upon the Secretary of the Navy, aud to obviate it a suggestion is throwu out that the army and navy, by uniting their con tracts, might offer such inducements as would result in securing the domes licauou ot these important interests. There is a gleam of hope that the foreign mail service may be stimulated by Government assistance above mere compensation for carrying the mails. It is recommended that lines be estab lished to the Argeutine Republic and to Brazil, with a view to extending our relations and increasing trade with those countries. It does not matter much whether the assistance is called "subsidy" or "legitimate compensa tion," so that the object sought is ac complUhed. PassiDg over questions relating to public laudi, railroads, the treatment of the Indians, and other matters, wo come to the labor problem, in the discussion o. which the President re news bis recommendation for the arbitration of such disputes as result in the interruption of commerce between the States. The conclusion is leached, however, that legislation, either Federal or State, will not be sufficient to Bolve the problem, and that telief must touie through a J. E. WK.NK, mutual recognition to the rights and obligations pertaining to ench cl3. Tbe paragraph devoted to civil service reform is a renewal of the President's faith in the underlying principle which he has undertaken to assert and defend, and, with all faults and imperfections which the system has developed, he clings to it as "the surest guarantee of the safety and success of American institutions." He nvokes for tbe reform tbe cheerful and ungiudgiug support of Congress, and gives them an opportunity to show their good will by passing tbe law increasinghe salaries of tbe Civil Service Commission. There is no comfort in this for those Democrats who have jumped to the conclusion that the President's action in the Benton Stone cases had landed him squarely in the camp of the spoilsmen, while the Mugwumps will be left to reconcile his professions with his practice as best they may. Chairman Hensel has again been discovered. He is backing Peter Gray Meek, of Bellefonte, for a Bank Examinership. Hensel is generally luckier at Washington than in Penn sylvania. Dallas Sanders, who is proposed as Hensel's successor, is called a dude by the Harrisburg Patriot, and it says furthermore that be lives on n fashiuu able street in Philadelphia and wears a claw hammer coat. Just think of the Democratic chairman clad in such a uniform to receive a delegation of Jacksonian Democrats. Clearfield' Journal. Speaker Carlisle regards the con test of bis seat in the next Cougress as simply the effort of enemies to embar rass him in his prospects for the Speak ership. But, if Speaker Carlisle is a fair man, be should allow the cVntest the widest latitude. A man of bis standing cannot afford to take a seat on which there is the least intimation of fraud. Let the light in. A Washington correspondent prom ises that Congress will investigate tbe Cutting and Sedgwick episodes, togeth er with numerous other matters on which the pnolic demands more light. Congress is evidently in for fun during its first session, if the promise of this correspondent baa any foundation. While the body has under considera tion the two subjects mentioned, it might as well take cognizance of Min ister Manuiog's case also, and make a clean sweep of the Mexican, scandals. There is no use of making fish of one and flesh of another. The Lancaster Intelligencer has a way of lettiug tbe President out of his trouble in tbe Stone and Benton cases. While the President and Benton disa gree on about all public questions, it says they are both Democrats, and that is enough. As the President himself made the usue of loyalty to the Administration, and as Benton at tacked with the most brutal frankness about everything the Administration has ever done, anybody would suppo.e that the fact that Benton is a Demo crat would be merely an aggravation The President could naturally expect and endure without complaint criti cism from his political opponents, but when a Democrat, and an office-holder of his own naming, stands up in pub lie and talks about the President's civil service humbuggery and charges that be gets his financial ideas from the money sharks and gold bugs of all Street it must naturally make am feel rather uncomfortable. On the other baud, Colonel Stone said nothing about the President, in his speechos. He talked of the tariff, about which the Administration majr or may not have a policy, and of pro hibition, which mav have been offen sive to tbe President. Fhila. JVwa. ExrUriuent lu Tt xa.
