It has grave responsibilities, bat we be lieve they will be bravely met and wisely dealt with. We have insisted, all along since the inauguration, that the time had not come to pass judgment upon the Administration. It is true that matters olj importance h ave been considered and the conduct of the Administration has been criticised, but tne forth-coming message will be declarative of the policy of the Administration on all questions of public interest. It is our purpose to give the mes sage a place in the columns, of the JOURNAL, so that our readers oan ee for themselves the position of the President on subjects of vital interest toall the people- We believe that Mr. Cleveland will be found standing firmly on j the Chicago platform, and that he will make such recommendations to : Congress as will c immend themeel- I ves to Democrats vsatn nmnr.rtji anrl natr nta in : ' f UniD- : u- if : f n.,Ia n,lf a Rut. it is to ConsTASs that we usr lis prerogatives nor suit k its responsibilities, The President in his message, recommends, but he has no control over the action of Congress, We can conceive of no worse 0011(3 t,on of affairs than a Congress professing to represent a free peo P!e- Riding to dictation or coer cion.

ALL RIGHT The Wiso Men of the East have for several mon.bs insisted that "hard rimes" ws the re-ult of well grouuded fears th it t he tariff would be tamp-red with. They venturned the prediction that the McKinley law would be only slightly modified j ry the Democrats of the Fifty-! Third Congress. Following the late electio-i in t Ohio, thousands of Republican voi- i ces shot; ted the praise" of McKinley j and declared that Protection had triumphed, and Democrats would uot dare to c-irry out the Tariff plink of the Chicago plat form. Well, the Ways aud Means Com mittee have presented their bill to the public, and "every thing is lovely and the goose hangs high '' The main features of the bill are the adoption, whenever practicable, of the ad valorem instead of the specific tax, and the increased free list. Reductions are made in the en tire list of articles that are kept on the dutiable list, except on cut dia monds and other precious stones, on which the dutie3 are increased. The tendency has been to make greater reductions on the articles used by the masses of the people than tboe not used by t he i masses. This is Democracy and we are happy. It is in our judgment the best tariff bill that has been drawn : since the war.

Lord, thou hast given me a cell Wherein to dwell, A little house whose humble r.)of, Is weather proof, Under the sparrcs of which I lie Both soft and dry; There thou, my chamber for to ward. Hast set a guard Of harmless thoughts to watch and keep Me while I sleep Low is my porch as is my fate, Both void of state; And yet the threshold of my door Is worn by poor, Who thither come aud freely get Good words or meat, 'Tis thou who crownest my glittering heath With guiltless mirth, And givest me wassail Bowles to drink Spiced to the brink. Lord, 'tis thy plenty dropping hand That soils my land, And giv'st me for my bushel sownc Twice ten for one. All this, and better, thou dost send Me, to this end, That I should render, for my part, A thankful heart. Robert Merrick. FOOT BALL LUXURIES.
