issue of notes to the par value Of thelbond

AN UNEXAMPLED EVENT.
The advent of four new states, South
Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington, into the Union under the constitu-
tiOn in the same month, the admission of
their duly elected representatives to our
national congress at the same session, is an
event unexampled. The authorization of
the votes cast for the constitutions adopted
in each of the states was filed with me as
required by the eighth section of the act of
February q, 1889, by the governors of said
territories respectively. Having, after
careful examination, found that the
several constitutions and governments
were republican in form and not
repugnant to the constitution of the
United States, that all the pro-
visions Of the act Of congress had been
complied with and that majority of the
votes cast in each of said proposed states
was in favor Of the adoption of the con-
stitution submitted therein, I did 80 de-
clare by a separate proclamation as to
each. The people of these states are
already well trained, intelligent and patri-
otic American citizens, having common
interests and sympathles with those of the
older states and common purpose to de-
fend the integrity and uphold the honor of
the nation.

AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
There are few transactions in the ad
ministration Of the government that are
even temporarily held in the confidence Of
those charged with the conduct Of the
public business. Every step taken is un-
der the observation of an intelligent and
watchful people. The state Of the union
is known from day to day, and suggestions
as to needed legislation find an earlier
voice than that which speaks in these
annual communicate Of the president to
congress. Good will and cordiality have
characterized our relations and cores
pondence with other governments, and
the year just closed leaves few interna-
tional questions cf Importance remaining
unadjusted. No obstacle is believed to
exist that can long postpone the considera-
tion and adjustment of the still pending
questions upon satisfactory and hon
orable terms. The dealings of this
government with other states have been
and should always be marked by frank
ness and sincerity our purposes avowed
and our methods free from intrigue. This
course has borne rich fruit in the past and
it is our duty as q nation to preserve the
heritage Of good repute which q century Of
right dealing with foreign governments
has secured to us. It's a matter Of high
significance and no less of fcongratulation
that the first year Of the second century of
our constitutional experience finds, as
