are not compelled to indulge in ihe
usual. ing vtfait' Hat character-zes the
meeting of Congress. ;
On all sijes it is conceded that the
inostjmporrant work of the Fifty
tuiru congress win reiaie tu me re
vision of the tariff 1 iws. The Cora-
mitteo on Ways and .Means has been
hard at work since the closing of the
epccisl session, and the Wilson taritf
bill is ab )iit ready lor presentation
to the House. It has been urged that
the sooner Congress takes decided
action on the tariff measure the bet
ter it w.ll be for the country, as un
csrtaintv in this respect tends todis
arrange and cause turmoil in ti.e bus
iness world. Undoubtedly this argu
ment will influence Cotigress to be
unusually speedy. The country will
not look with favor upon, unreasonan
b!e attempts to delay action, In ad
dition to the tanir question the Fifty
third Congress will undoubtedly be
called upon to pass other financial j
mccsure-, anil tue prospeoi. is tiiat it
will remain in scbsifm until early
next summer.
The President's acssage has been
the most fruitful tome of discussion
this week. Opinion upon its merits
of course widely differ. It "i3 said
Mr. Cleveland wrote most of the mes
sage with his own - pen. . He does
more ai.d more of bis own writing ev
ery da The reigning Executive
seldom uses a stenographer, though
there are aeveral good shorthand
writers at the White liouc. He
prefers to write state papers almost
entirety, with his own hand. He uses
a pad and pen, and he wrote the mes
sage in'pieeemeal, taking up the dif'.
ferent sfubjec's one by one and fitting
the piccc9 into the mosiac. He is a
remarkably ready writer. His hand
is small ana cramped. T)ut ho writes
rapidly. and revises little He has a
good command of lan.'tnge and be
likes "'onUof-the-way ' expressions.
The President takes plenty of advice
from hU cabinet mill gets all the sug
gestions hecani but he has his own
oninions and he writes his own ideas
in the end. The present message
was looked oyer by the cabinet and
a few outvde parties. Cleveland uiAi
Greshara, Lamont and Bissell had
t'u; most to do ifi consultation, bijt
tl-,e finished document was, I am told,
raainty the individual work of the
President.
The message does not go to Con
gross in typewritten f.rm. It is usu
ally sent in manuscript, on long
sheets of gray blu paper, and it scN
doiu reaches Congress in the hand
writing of the President. One of the
best i)eumen in tiie United Slat2 I
