Tlie Congressional mill resumed opera lions at noon today, but If the other mill- liich have lately started their machiner do not dp more to bring about good time than tills session ' of Congress is likeh " from any present indications to do, w shall not have good times for sometime t come. "President Cleveland's message 1: interesting enough in its way, , and if hi had a .party behind him able to contro legislation, some of bis recommendation might have' attracted-wide attention, but as he is virtually play ing a; lone banc ; very' little interest is expressed in tin message , with 'its seventeen - thousant words. One Senator jocularly remarket of it: "Cleveland didn't Write that mes sage for the Fifty-fourth Congress, bu; for posterity and history; perhaps thc , will give his ideas the attention that Con . gress denies them, but I have my doubts.' If the tendency to increase the length o. the President's messages to Congress 1: kept up, It will soon be iu order to away with having them read in the Senate and - House. Many tliiuk it already ii orders The Senators and Representative! all have printed copies of the message placed in their hands before the retullnj is begun, so that the reading is nothing more than a perfunctory formality a. best. . -. -, . . . Speaker Reed may be worrying be cause be isn't in Maj. McKinley's place, but if he is he is hiding it well, for hi never appeared to Win a better humoi with himself and everybody else thai lie did today when he called the Boust to order. And it is not so certain af tei all that his prospects are not more en viable than those of the President-elect. He will be Speaker of the next House'; and it will not affect his political fut ure should the announced period oi prosperity fail to materialize, while Mr. McKinley's political future depends upo. . the ability of his administration to makt good the glowing promises of the cam paign. - . .- Senator Gallinger is one of the Repub licans who would gladly omit the pro posed extra session of Congress,' if ht , could do so, but he made it very plait, that be regards the extra session as cer tain when he said: "If I had my way, 1 would have the Dingley .bill promptly passed, and then whether vetoed or noi would trust to circumstances to deter mine the necessity pr propriety ' of ai - extra session of Congress. . The indica tions, however, do not warrant the be ; lief that a serious effort will be made U . pass the Dingley bill, and if that is U be the program, then I favor an earl) extra session for a complete and thor - ough revision of the tariff laws." Sena- . tor Gallinger doesn't look for any cur rency legislation either by this or thi ; next Congress. To put it in his own language; "It must be evident to every ane man that nothing can be done by thia-Congresa in the direction of curren cy legislation, and I have small expeo- . tation that the next Congress will do much," ' ;' .'. j; . . Senator Peffer was red hot over tht charge that he had made a tariff bar gain to help his ohanoes for re-election ana deuouncea it as untrue. 11 say ' his tariff views are well known in Kan as; that he favors high duties upon al articles used exclusively by the wealthy not for protection but for revenue, anc the free admission of such articles at - sugar, salt, lumber, coal and other nee- essitie of the people, and a graduated income and land tax. He aleoaddeo that be favored the proposal to add $1 - a barrel to the tax on beer, which hi thought would produce revenue enougl to make up the deficit and would be felt by nobody. : --- ' - . Representative Baker, of N. H., now a semog nis second terra but wuo wat not re-elected, thinks the free coinage ol gold by the government ought to bt bolUbed, and be will introduce a bill . embodying his ideas on that subject He said: "I want to see gold purchased on government account. I do not think - it right to convert It into coin freeol mintage. There is truth In the asser tion that this discriminates in its favor as against silver. I would have both gold and silver purchased just as tin government buys copper and nickel foi its minor coins." There were more vacant seats in the House than in the Senate at the opening ertwion of Congress, but ths most con spicious absentees were Senators, among tlium being Teller, of Colo., who is kept away by business, and Allison, of Iowa, who some say is really IU and other tlmt he is merely detained at horn by bad cold. Their absence was especially noticeable not only because they are h ading men on opposing sides of the fl ii. in. in! question, but because they are usually among the promptest and most r ' ir attendants upon the 'sessions of t' vi "nate.

Latest U. S. Gov't Report." ABSOLUTELY PURE TUB PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. I nynopsll of Its Coutenls ns Given to CoHfrress. Washington, D. C December 7. The President in his message, defends tin present tariff law, but says our financial lystem Is badly in need of reform. He alludes to the dangers to which tht country Is liable, from the existence ol rusts and monopnlies.but says it is doubt ul if these evils can be treated by Fedcr- il action and concludes by appealing k Congress for a most rigid economy in iti jxpenditures. . .He'says no American citizens were lull- id or wounded in Armenia, our country eaviiig nothing undone for their protec- ion. The insurrection still continues ii Juba, Spain holding Havana and thi principal sea-ports, whilo the insurgent! oam at will over two thirds of the Is anti. He directs the attention of Con gress to the Cuban question, saying tin oe shuns general engagements, and tht xmflict may be indeiinitely prolonged mtailing immense destruction upon property, and that the United States in terests in the situation are second onl to Spain's. He thinks the proposition of many it the United States, namely, to buy thi island, worthy of consideration. Thi character of the United States forbidi in intervention which may involve t jrar with Spain, yet the United Statet nust recognize the grievances of tin Jubans. He thinks that a guarantee ol mtonomy by Spain, if a satisfactory neasure of home rule is tendered tht Cubans would be accepted by the latter, ind the United States would find a suit- Ale way to have Spain's guarantee foi ceeping same. Somthing should bi lone to protect our interests and Spaii. nust act in the matter. The Treasury reports show a deficit oi 35,203,843. - jThe diminution in the pension expen litures so confidently foretold still fai. jo materialize. Tariff reform has opened tho way to i. i'recr and greater exchange of commo lities between the United States aiii ither countries, and has thus furnishei i wider market for our products am nanufactures. During its first year iiu jorts have increased six and one lial- jiillions, exports increased seventy nil lions. W. W. Vara. Head. . tpeoiat Raleigh, NC, December 7, W.
