IT is probable that Germany,
France and the United States, by
united action, could restore silver,
upon a ratio of 16 to l, independent
Of England, should the latter ma
ton refuse to join in an interna-
tional conference, or refuse to be
bound by the action Of the other
powers, if conference were held.
The recent action of the Reichstag
in proposing a conference, coupled
with recent utterances by the Pre-
mier and the ministers Of finance
Of France, indicate a strong silver
sentiment in both countries. The
outlook for a concerted movement
in favor Of silver has grown much
brighter within the pastfewmonths.

EACH resident ought to take a
pride in booming town. Not al
together in wordy praise, but by
painting and repairing houses and
fences, cleaning off and beautifying
the yard and garden, by removing
trash and obstruction from streets,
alleys and sidewalks, by planting
handsome and hardy shade trees
along the sidewalks, and by doing
everything possible as a citizen to
make his home attractive. There
is no better way Of booming" his
locality. The pretty places catch
the eye Of the stranger, tourist and
prospector, and they will all speak
Of them to others. The solid, sub
stantial way Of booming your town
is to make it SO pleasing and at
tractive that every one who visits
it will desire to make it their home.
Negotiations are pending pre-
liminary to sending Daniel Phifer
to the asylum at Bolivar. He has
recently manifested disposition
considered dangerous by those who
know him best, and to prevent him
from doing some one an injury he
has been confined in a cell at the
county Jail, and will be sent to the
asylum when the necessary arrang-
ments can be made.
Mr. Finis Rushing, Of Bristow,
who has been in bad health for
some time, has been removed to
the home Of his brother-in-law, Mr..
E. E. Fry. We join with other
friends in wishing him a speedy
recovery.

HATCH ON ANNEXATION.

Cautious About Expressions on Diplo-
matte Intercourse-No Change.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Francis
NJ. Hatch, the new Hawaiian Minister
who has just arrived here, says: " My
Government desires me to be particu-
larly cautious in my utterances about
the relations between Hawaii and the
United States. Since landed at San
Francisco have been frequently i'm
portuned for an expression regarding
the question of annexation and other
subjects of diplomatic intercourse be-
tween the two Governments. 1 was
compelled to refuse an expression, and
shall have to adhere to that plan until
I have formally presented myself to
Secretary Olney. 1 have noticed a
very friendly feeling toward the Gov
eminent I represent in the papers of
the United States, and 1 regret that L
cannot oblige the press at this time
with some statement"
When asked if there had been a
change one way or the other in the
duhcAaCAOh ACCAAhS az AAOAOAN'Ni A'AA'
Hatch replied conscientiously: 81 feel
quite sure there has been no change .
Notwithstanding the new minister's
reticence, it is stated that he comes
here authorized by his Government
to promote the cause of annexation in
every proper way. Mr.. Castle said
he would leave for New York as
soon as he can present his compli-
ments to Secretary Olney, and, after g
short visit to the East, would sail for
Honolulu. He has made a very good
record during his brief sojourn at the
capitol.
