silver as currency. but to the extent only
ard under such restrictions that its parity
with gold can be maintained We are
therefore opposed TO the free and ualirn-
ited coinage os silver until il can be ar
ranged by International agreement"

Morton Acting Ugly About seeds.

Washington City, April i5.-Special.-
The secretary OF agriculture, sngered at
the action OF congress in compelling him 10
buy seeds when he had decided to save
that appropriation and cover IL back into
tn. treasury, Is doing his best TO be mean
about the matter now. He has made a
new departure in the matter OF the seed
distribution this year and one that win
cause no little annoyance to congressman
and alsapposntu to farmers through
out the country. In the annual distriou-
lions heretofore all seeds were sent direct
to the members and by them mailed to con-
stituerts This year each member has been
notified TO prepare l,ee addressed labels
and send them TO the department, who VIII
forward them to the firm who has con-
tracte-l with the government 10 deliver the
seeds, and they will be sent out from there
direct The quota 10 each member has
been reduced 10 1s.esn packets. which are
to be put up In packages each containing
fifteen different varieties Of seeds. SO that
each congressman viii have only i.e00
packages for distribution to like number
% people The idea. too, is TO prevent a
member from sending more than one pack
age 10 one address. and the limited aurn-
oer OF packages win cause many apprecia-
tive people who have received seeds In the
past TO be left without any at all this year.
With the very greatest Of care 20 prevent
duplication OF names on The part OF the
four members Of the delegation. only 400
families can be supplied in the state OF
Washington. Beside. there can be no
ehoiee Of seeds. Each person VIII receive
the same seed as every other. irrespective
Of whether adapted TO the soil or climate.
and there can be no other kinds obtained

ton under which the seeds are 10 BE- dis

TIDE LAND PLAT STANDS,
Ihe state Land Commission Has Nc
Power TO Rtadfust IT.

Olympia. April 15.-Speciai-The su-
preine court has decided that the state land
commission has not power TO reaijust 4
plat OF lands filed by the local board of
appraisers. This was in an action by the
city OF Seattle. The council vacated streets
extending over tide lands prior to their
appraisement and survey. and after the
work OF the local boird was finished the
city asked the state land commission TO re-
adjust the streets. The board declined TO
col der the petition. claiming lack OF
jurisdiction. and the city appealed In its
decision the supreme court says that prior
20 the passage of the act of 1895 local boards
of tide land appraisers were not author
lied by the statute to locate streets upon
tide lands This power was first conferred
upon them by section 50 OF this act. But
it was not contemplated that 1t should
continue beyond the expiration of the
terms of Office of the members Of the
board; that is. May /. ISIS. The laying out
and plating OF these streets was there
fore done without legal authority. but the
action OF the board. in that regard was
ratified and confirmed by section "A Of the
act OF 1856. which provides that 'aH alleys.
streets, avenues. boulevards and other pub
lie thoroughfares heretofore located and
plated on tide lands OF the first class by
boards of tide land appraisers are hereby
validated as public highways and dedicated
to the use Of the public for the purposes
for which they were Intended. and the i'm
proven, upland owner or other person shall
have the right to buy the whole or any
part of any such alley. street, avenue. bou-
levard or other thoroughfare."
The streets as located and plated are by
force of this statute public highways. and
a careful examination OF the whole act
fails to disclose any power in the board OF
commissioners to relocate or change them
The state board Is given power 10 review
its own acts tsectton i92l. and under certain
circumstances to reappraise tide lands
which were appraised by local boards tsee-
ton e2), but We find nothing In the law
comforting upon 1t the authority TO change
established streets, nor can such power be
presumed from the fact that 1t now has
the exclusive authority to survey, lease
and control tide lands. Judgment affirmed.
