Gen. A. J. Warner, president Of the

the following address:
THE country has now had a years

that everywhere prevails Congress will
soon complete its work, and the general
situation and the prospects before the

state elections, involving the election Of
United states senator's, have already been
entered upon and the campaign for the
election Of members Of the house Of the
FifJh-fourth congress viii soon begin.

mediate restoration Of the bimetallic
standard in thes United States, with the
free coinage of both gold and silver at

into consideration the situation in the

in the monetary policy Of the government
necessary to restore prosperity to the peo-
pie"
The Outlook I'm the House.
The program in the house for the COM
ing week will depnd largely upon the
tariff problem, to which all present ar
rangement must give way. Tomorrow Is
District of Columbia day, and Tuesday
and perhaps Wednesday will be devoted
to the consideration Of the Moore Funston
contested election case, from the Second
Kansas district, in which Moore claims
the election by 1864 votes, and Funston.
the sitting member, by eighty-one votes.
The majority Of the committee have re-
ported in favor of Moore, the contestant,
and Funston will undoubtedly be un-
seated despite the minority report in his
favor. The remainder of the week will
be given 10 the consideration Of bills
reported from various committees.
