III this is so, or If they believe it to be
so, let them offer $500 in purchase of
the stock which belongs to the State

that the State would be glad to sell its
stock for about 100000, provided the
stock held by the counties is taken at
the same price. This would take the

SENATOR DUBOIS PREDICTION.

The Congress in 1893 and The
Presidency in 1900.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 2S.-Sena-
tor Dubois, OF Idaho, says in an interview
to-day that he has no idea there will be
any attempt to pass the Dingley bill at
the coming session OF Congress, and that
it is a piece OF legislation which ought
to fail at any session. When asked about
the policy Of the silver Senators in the
next Congress, he said:
"They win hold the balance Of power
in the next Senate, and will no doubt con
tinue their aggressive fight for silver,
making all other issues subordinate to
that. No matter what kind Of tariff
we have, there can be no prosperity eX-
cept for a few years under the gold stand
ard. One more trial of the Republicans
win convince the people Of this, in my
judgment. and the silver advocates viii

eighty thousand dollars. The State was
