The senate has again surprised the
people and demonstrated what an un
certain and untrustworthy body it is.
When it rejected the corporation tax
and the Gorman substitute its action
was construed by all reasonable ob
servers to indicate the defeat of every
one of the peculiar and preposterous
amendments of the democratic silver
combination of the committee. But in
the senate it is the unexpected which
generally happens. Recently the propo
sitions to issue greenbacks was voted
down and the republican provision for
an issue of bonds and treasury certifi
cates substituted therefor. Tit? motion
to this effect was carried by the decisive
vote of 45 to 31, seven democrats and one
populism supporting the republicans.
Without their vo.es the bond proposi
tion would have been rejected, and it is
a pleasure to commend their sagacity
and fairness.
But while the approval of a loan is
gratifying, the concession to the silver
sentiment embodied in the absurd and
vicious amendment for the coining of
the so-called silver seigniorage is as
dangerous as it is unexpected. It is
n-ot the more addition of $42,000,000 of
"silver greenbacks" to the present
amount of this form of currency that is
most objectionable: it is the principle
that is pernicious and intolerable. The
"seigniorage" is a misnomer and a de
lusion. It is a misuse of an economic
term that cannot be applied to the pres
ent case at all. To coin the "seignior
age" is to coin a vacuum, to mistake an
actual loss to the government for a
gain.
What is this seigniorage? Under the
silver purchase act of 1890 the govern
ment issued treasury notes in payment
for a certain quantity of silver bullion.
These notes are redeemable in coin. The
reasoning of the silverites is as follows.;
Since the silver dollars in which the
notes are redeemable have a higher face
value than an intrinsic commercial
value, the difference is clear profit to the
government. It will need only about
155.930,000 silver dollars to redeem the
aggregate amount of the notes, where
as the bullion purchased can be coined
into over 218,084,000 silver dollars. The
silverites have estimated the "profit" to
the government at this moment from
the seigniorage at $42,000,000 and they
want this profit coined into standard
dollars. The fact that the silver dollars
circukite at face value only because
the government indirectly insures their
redemption in gold does not trouble the
silverites. They do not admit that sil
ver dollars are now mere promises to
pay, "metallic greenbacks.."
And it is this "seigniorage" which
48 senators have voted to coin. It is
this absurdity which such men as Gray,
Lindsay and White (democrats) and
Thurston and Wolcott (republicans) en
courage and indorse! It is generally
believed that the senate will not recede
from this amendment and that the
house will be forced to accept it as the
price exacted from it for passing the
bond and treasury certificate proposi
tions. It is said that this st'op to the
"biinetallists" was necessary in order
to do away with obs'tru.tion and in
definite delay. If so, it only shows that
even war cannot cause the senate ma
jority to sink partisanship and forget
politics. They are determined to wring
and extort "concessions" at any cost to
the nation. —Chicago Post.
MEXICAN DOLLARS.
Ait Oliject I,en«on In Money Vnlne*
for Believer* In tlic Ilrynn
Doctrine.
It is emphatically denied that the
United States government has any in
tention of paying the troops sent to the
Philippines with Mexican silver dollars.
The story was palbably a canard, but
the man responsible for it was evidently
fully aware of the monetary conditions
in Manila, ard he has furnished a hint
to enterprising speculators that is like
ly to be acted upon. From present signs
it is probable that the money changers
will be busy when the American troops
reaoh the Philippines. If the soldiers
are paid in American gold and silver
coin they will exchange it of course far
other money, and the Mexican dollar,
which is current all through the orient,
will become extremely popular. The
Mexican dollar is worth just as much so
far as its intrinsic value is concerned
as the American silver dollar, but one
American dollar will buy two Mexican
dollars, and the purchaser will have
enough left over to buy him a glass of
beer at the army canteen.
If the American soldiers intend to
spend their money in the Philippines
they will in reality receive double pay,
providing they are wise enough to ex
change their Yankee dollars for "greas
ers," which do not have the credit of
the government behind them. It is im
possible to believe that they will be so
shortsighted as to regard one dollar as
being quite as good as another. This
is practically the Bryan teaching, but
even those men in the expedition that
are most devoted to the silver cause are
likely to realize that there are dol
lars and dollars. It will be an object
lesson to many of them which will pos
sess the utmost significance. If, for ex
ample, t'he United States mints were to
day open to the free coinage of sil
ver the American dollar would be worth
n® more than the Mexican dollar, and
in the buying power of their money
these soldiers would receive only half
what will actually be paid them. —Troy
Times.
CA bill providing for the coinage of
the silver seigniorage was passed by
the senate, and is now l>efore the house.
IS.it little notice need be paid to this
objectionable measure, however, f«r it
cannot pass the lower house, and, even
if it did so. it would be vetoed by the
executive. —Cincinnati Commercial Tri-

SOUND MONEY WANTED.
An Illinois lli'iirmrnliiilve Give* the
I'Vt'lliiK of Ha»fnen Men on
the Money Uamtion.
Congressman George Prince, of
Galesburg, 111., has returned to his du
ties in tlie house, lifter a liard eampaign
vvhi«U resulted in his renominatlou. Mr.
Prince believes that his work for cur
rency reform helped rather than in
jured him in the campaign for renotni
uation, and he said to-day, in discuss
ing the question:
"The silver craze, so far as Illinois is
concerned,israpidly running itscourse.
I hear similar reports from other west
ern states. The republicans of my dis
trict are "sound money" ftien. But they
go farther. They believe not only in
the gold standard, but they agree with
the president in his speech before the
Manufacturers' association of New
York last January, that 'it. must not
only be our purpose to maintain the
gold standard, but we must give that
purpose the vitality of public law.'
"In other words, if we give the iso
lated regions of the south and west ade
quate banking facilities, the demand
for free silver will gradually cease. If
we retire the greenbacks—and we do
retire them without any contraction of
the currency or an issue of bonds in the
bill now 011 the house calendar —we
shall remove the menace to our nat
tional credit which now exists, and will
continue to exist so long as the govern
ment is required to redeem greenbacks
in tfold. Our bill, you will remember,
places the redemption upon the banks."
"The people of your district, then,
believe in reforming the currency laws,
do they?"
"That question was only incidentally
discussed. The business men, however,
are a unit in demanding that our mon
etary system shall be placed on a more
stable and scientific basis. I have three
large manufacturing towns in my dis
trict—Galesburg. Hook Island and Mo
line. There is not in these towns a busi
ness man of any prominence who is not
a currency reformer.
"Some of these gentlemen had other
candidates before the convention, but
when it.was manifest that they could
not win their influence was thrown for
me. This was largely due to my sup
port of the gold standard, and to my
connection with the movement to im
prove our monetary system. Our busi
ness men will stand no nonsense on this
question. It was they who lent the
weight of their influence and contrib
uted liberally of their means in 1896 to
elect Mr. MeKinley. Included in this
number were nearly l.(K)0,000 of gold
democrats.
"These business men appreciate the
necessity for reforming the currency
and for a rigid maintenance of the gold
standard. They have no patience with
men who try to evade the issue and seek
the support of both sides. The candi
date for congress who does not face
this issue bravely and announce his be
lief in the gold standard will find the
business element solidly arrayed
against him.
"My currency reform views brought
me the support of the business com
munity without a single exception, and
they did not lose me a rote in any other
direction. In my judgment, the house
should pass the bill now on the calen
dar hefore congress adjourns. It will
be the means of maintaining our con
trol of a score of districts whose mem
bers were elected by the aid of gold
democratic votes. Its passing will help
the republican party in the congres
sional contests this year, and 1 do not
believe it will lose us a single district in
the east, west or south."—Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Washington, June 14. —Immediately
upon receipt of information from the
White House that the war revenue bill
had been signed by the president, Sec
retary Gage yesterday issued a circular
explaining the proposed bond issue
which is in part as follows:
"The secretary of the treasury in
vites subscriptions from the people of
the United States for $200,000,000 of
the bonds of the 3 per cent, loan au
thorized by the act of congress ap
proved June 13, 1 Mis. Subscriptions
will be received at par for 32 days,
the subscription being open from this
date to 3 p. m.on July 14, 1898. The
bonds will be issued in both coupon
and registered form, the coupon bonds
in denominations of S2O, SJOO, SSOO
and SI,OOO, and the registered bonds
in denominations of S2O, SIOO, SSOO,
SI,OOO, $5,000 and SIO,OOO. They will
be dated August 1, 1898, and will be
redeemable in coin at the pleasure of
the United States after ten years from
the date of their issue, and due and
payable August 1, 1918.
"The bonds will bear interest at the
rote of 3 per cent, per annum, payable
quarterly. The interest on the Coupon
bonds will be paid by means of cou
pons, to be detached from the bonds
as the interest becomes due, and the
interest on the registered bonds will
be paid by checks drawn to the order
of the payees, and mailed to their ad
dresses.
"The law authorizing this issue of
bonds provides that in alloting said
bonds the several subscriptions of in
dividuals shall be first accepted, and
the subscriptions of the lowest
amounts shall be first allotted.
"All individual subscriptions for
SSOO or less will bo allotted in full
as they are received, and such sub
scriptions must be paid in full at the
time the subscription is made. If the
total sum subscribed for in amounts
of SSOO or less should exceed $200,-
000,000 the allotments will be made
according to the priority of the re
ceipt of the subscriptions. Allotments
on subscriptions for over SSOO will

made inversely according to the si/."
of the subscription, the smallest sub
scription being first allotted, then the
next in size next, and so on, prefer
ence being given to individual sub
scriptions.
"in order to avoid a too rapid ab
sorption of funds into the treasury
with a possible consequent evil effect
on industry and commerce, any sub
scriber for more than SSOO will be per
mitted to take his allotment of bonds
in installments of 20 per cent., taking
the first, installment within ten days
after the notice of the allotment, and
the balance at four equal intervals of
40 days each in four installments
each of 20 per cent, of the bonds al
lotted.
"The secretary of the treasury will

by the cruiser St. Louis on June 10
off' the coast of Jamaica. Conflicting

ANNEXATIONISTS WIN.
The II OUBP of KcpreHfiitHtiveH I';IHHCN tlif
Newlands KeHolutiontt What They Pro
vide For.
Washington, June 16.- —By a vote ol
209 to 91 the house yesterday adopted
the Newlands resolutions providing
for the annexation of Hawaii. The de
bate, which had continued since Sat
urday, was one of the most notable
of this congress, the proposed annex
ation being- considered of great com
mercial and strategic importance by
i<s advocates, and being- looked upon
by fts opponents as involving- a radical
departure from the long- established
policy of the country and likely to be
followed by the inauguration of a pro
nounced policy of colonization, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and participation in international
wrang-les.
From a party standpoint the result
was awaited with the keenest inter
est. The republicans presented prac
tically a unanimous support to the
resolution. Hut three republicans vot
ed in opposition. In the democratic
ranks the division was more marked,
IS democrat members voting for an
nexation.
The vote in support of the resolu
tions was made up of 179 republicans,
IS democrats, 8 populists and 4 fusion
ists. The vote against annexation
comprised 77 democrats, 3 republi
cans, 7 populists and 4 fusionists.
The resolutions adopted recite the
offer of the Hawaiian republic to cede
all of its severeignty and absolute
title to the government and crown
land, and then by resolution accept
the cession and declare the islands
annexed. The resolutions provide for
a commission of live, at least two of
whom shall be resident Uawaiians. to
recommend to congress such legisla
tion as they may deem advisable. The
public debt of Hawaii, not to exceed
$4,000,000, is assumed, Chinese immi
gration is prohibited, all treaties with
other powers arc declared null, and
it is provided that until congress shall
provide for the government of the isl
ands. all civil, judicial and military
powers now exercised by the officers
of the existing government shall be
exercised in such manner as the presi
dent shall direct, and he is given
power to appoint persons to put into
effect a provisional government for
the islands.

Minneapolis, Minn., June 16. —The
state conventions of the democrats,
populists and silver republicans were
held here Wednesday and fusion was
accomplished by a compromise. The
middle of the road element of the
populist party, led by Ignatius Don
nelly. nearly accomplished the bolt
they had planned.
With the populists the friction was
so great that the entire day was con
sumed in discussing fusion, the anti
fusionists threatening to leave the
hall. During this discussion Sidney
Owen administered to Ignatius Don
nelly one of the most scathing ar
raignments that was ever given to a
man in public life. He accused him of
being a traitor to the people's party
for a money consideration and called
him a villain, a monster and vile
thing. The wildest excitement pre
vailed.
Both the democrats and silver re
publicans indorsed the Chicago plat
form and the candidacy of W. -T.
Bryan for the presidency. The .joint
conference committee held a lively
session and it was agreed to divide the
offices to the three parties, allowing
the conventions to make the nomina
tions. John Lind, silver republican,
was nominated for governor.

A few weeks ago a new play was tried upon

when the leading lady proceeded to cut a
Gordian knot by methods strictly feminine,
a girl in the audience beamed appreciatively.

addressing the absent dramatist. Then she
turned impulsively to a serious-looking wom

"Now how could he have known she would
do just that? He certainly must have been
a woman in some far-off incarnation."
Her neighbor's Heriousuess became sever

" I hat is quite impossible," she said, with
impressive gravity. ''Kvidently you haven't
studied the subject. Woman is a progressed
state. A man may look forward to being at
woman in a future incarnation; but he be
longs to a lower order and has never been

Then she wondered why the girl found the
