SILVER COINAGE.

We suspect that Mr.. Bryan and
his friends are fiercely whispering
to each other, ''dollar wheat be
bowed" a tidal wave of the I'M
expected rushes III, and lands $780,
100000, wheat money, over the
farms of Nebraska, while silver
goes down. The silver men de
monstrated mathematically that
the want of free coinage was the
only cause for the low price of
wheat, and they made six millions
of voters believe it. The tidal
wave of prosperity shows that free
coinage has nothing to do with it,
but it is a matter of supply and de-
mand. The Populists begin to re-
gard that free coinage weapon as
rusty old flint lock, and are al
ready looking for modern weapons.
Of course, In year or two, there
will be low prices again, and the
farmers will complain. But the
lesson, now learned, will gradually
bring them to the real causes of
discomfort and poverty. In the
meantime, the hunger-stricken
paupers of Europe will pay a
famine price for grain, the farming
classes will suffer for another year,

Those born here of foreign par

They love the soil, and were con-
tented with the monarchy SO long
as it was useful. Then, like Wash

the knife into the British mon
archy until it released its hold on
the infant colonies, these man, in
profound sorrow and pain, killed
the monarchy, created the Repub-
lie, and, YESTERDAY, and again in
sorrow, put it into an eternal sleep,
in the hope of its quick resurrection
in the arms of the American Re
public.

Of the many reputable preparations
offered to build you up and restore lost

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forged tool, made of Black
Diamond tool steel; and is
six useful tools in one,
weighs about one pound and
can be carried in the hip
pocket with ease.
Besides the six tools it can
be used for various other
purposes, which suggest
themselves as necessity de-
mandS. The six tools are as
follows:
1. A double staple puller,
rails, etc.
2. A double wire cutter,
and the best made.
;. A double hammer, and
no danger of its breaking.
4. A good wire splicer for
any kind of wire, barbed
wire included.
s. A good pair of pinch
ers with long leverage.
E. A good monkey
wrench for plows, machines,
etc.
1t is good for tightening
slack wire, by grasping the
wire in the jaws of splicer
and pressing handle to right
or left until it bends the
wire, moving on from place
to place, until you have it
tight enough.
The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is admitted
to be the handiest tool made
for ranchers, farmers, ETC.,
and has an immense sale in
the States and wherever it
is introduced.

SEPTEMBER II
THE END AND THE BEGINNING.

THE END AND THE BEGINNING.
At nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the Senate, by formal action
passed the title to these Islands
over t6the United States. Like
deed of conveyance, duly signed,
and acknowledged, and irrevoca-
bic, it virtually gave the equitable,
and in a measure, the legal title of
dominion and public property here
to the greater Republic, to become
instantaneously effective upon
similar act by the American SEN
ate. Today there is, in fact, one
nation less, on the face of the earth.
The causes which force this con
clusion, the reasons which have
stricken out of existence an indie
pendent nation, free Republic,
where all lines, all the trackless
paths meet at a single centre in the
great sea, cannot now be stated III
full, or Justly. The historian of
the present hour in any country
must live in solitude, if he com
ments on the ignorance, the stupid
ity. or even the unselfishness of
men, because history is the story
of the average advance of man
kind, and the average is always
low. The threads which make up
the entire wool of our own little
history, will never be honestly
traced out, until the men of these
times are under the sod, when the
earth and the worms forbid quar-
reling.
At this final act, the native looks
with simple, child-like thought,
dazed and perhaps wondering at it,
as if it were a strange, mysterious
act. The philosophy of history,
the sequence of events, is quite be-
yond his thought But he fears no
coming evil, because he comes
within the narrow and almost
sacred circle of Anglo-Saxon jus
tice to inferior races.
The part Hawaiians take
wider vision. They are the limo
cent victims of the contact, almost
criminal, of the stronger and weak
err races. The pathetic story of Ha-
wall, and perhaps its romance is
with them. For this act of ratiti-
cation opens to them the door,
through which they can hear the
rough voices of the aggressive race
coming over the sea, the aggressive
race, which gives them some of its
blood, but cannot give its sturdy
energy, or strike out the softer
fibre of Polynesian ancestry.
The Chinese, residing here,
looks upon it, as an act which
brings further humiliations, and
restrictions upon him, and stamps
his patience, frugality, and indus
try, with the scorn of great nation
which holds him in contempt for
war, but trembles before him in
peace.
The japanese regards it as the
forging of a chain, which may,
some day, be thrown across the
channel of the harbor, cripple his
commerce, and prevent his freedom
of travel and residence.
