setting forth sufficient facts to form the

thing that his friends should consider
well before taking action.

It gives ME pleasure to extend greet
ing to the Fifty-nfth Congress assem-
bled In regular session at the seat Of
government. with many Of whose Sena-
tors and Representatives. I have been
associated in the legislative service.
Their meeting occurs under felicitous
conditions. justifying sincere congratu-
lations and calling for our grateful ac-
acknowledgement to q bcneficent Provi-
dence, which has so signally blessed and
prubpcred ur as a nation. Peace and
good Will with all the nations OF the
earth continue unbroken.
A matter Of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling Of fraternal regard and
unificati0n Of all sections OF our country,
the ipc0mpleteness Of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest bless
ings Of the Union. The spirit of patriot
Ism is universal and is ever increasing
in fervor. The public questions which
now most cngross US are lifted far above
either partisanship. prejudice or former
sectional differences. They affect every
part Of our common country alike and
permit OF no division on ancient lines.
Questions Of fotcign policy, Of revenue.
the soundness of the currency, the in
volatility Of national obligations. the
Improvement Of the public service, up
peal to the individual conscience Of
every earnest citizen to whatever party
he belongs. or in whatever seton Of the
country he may reside.
The extra session Of this Congress-
which closed during July last. enacted
important legislation. and while its full
effects have not yet been realized what
It has already accomplished assures us
of it's timeliness and wisdom. To test
Its permanent value further time will
be required and the people, satisfied
with its operation and results thus far,
are In no mind to withhold from 1t a
fair trial.

issued a statement showing that at
the beginning of the fiscal year the
pensioners numbered just 983,528, an
increase of 1880 for last year. Dur
ing that year 50,101 new pensions
were granted and 1871 persons were
restored to the rolls. Old age and
disease, however, are working great
inroads into the lists, for there were
81 $50 deaths during the year. 9th

more than verified, and not any graf
ifcation over the decline in the price
of silver for it's own sake. Silver is
an American product. This country
is the largest producer of silver in the
world, and from a purely business
standpoint we have nothing to gain
by the decline in the price of silver; on
the contrary much to lose. People
who seem to exult over the decline in
the price of silver have probably not
taken this fact in consideration. It is
perfectly natural to rejoice over our
escape from slumping onto the silver
basis, but we need not lose sight of
the fact that we have more silver to
sell than any body else, and should
naturally be more interested in main
tanning its price. Minneapolis Journ

In spite of the cry about latter-day

In spite of the cry about latter-day
plutocracy, six of the seven elected to
congress from this district are poor
men, as that term is used in these
days of larger fortunes, and every one
Of them began at the bottom. The
same is true of the governor, and
lieutenant governor, and it is equally
true in every respect of Major Nc
Kinley. The richest man elected to
the presidency was George Washing
ton. He was reckoned one of the
richest men of his time, and, relative
ly, was much richer than any Of his
successors. Look backward and you
will discover that most of the men
you have known in public life were
men of ordinary means. Plutocracy
doesn't seem to plutoc, but God reigns
and we are Americans still. Bede's

make any difference what price the

not check the demand. Europe wants
more wheat than the United States

will have to be high. This is Ger

Wheat last week was on a rampage.

jump of &c, making a net raise of 16c

cage board of trade that the new crop
will sell at from $1.25 to S15O per
bushel This prediction is based on
a strong statement by Beerbohm that
wheat would sell for So bushel if
crop prospects were realized as short
as is now probable. Some people
are fearful that the bottom will fall
out of the persent advance, and say
that wheat will take the worst tumble
that was ever known. This might
happen, but it does not seem reason
able to a careful observer, from the
