1896. Thus the stock August i. this

The French government will sell
more of it's bonds, some $4,000, ,OC0
worth of them this time. This means
that the French people who toll will be
required to pay interest on $3.50, ,000, 900
more which will go to the Donothing
family who are large consumers of the
very best fruits of toll. 1t is the bur-
den of these bonded debts in all coun-
tries that threaten the comfort and
happiness of toe people,. 1t is the
burden of these oebts that makes hard

The reports of suffering in Alaska
are already beginning to arrive and
the seasonis yet young. The spectacle
of man sitting in his cabin sur
rounded by buckets of gold and chew
ing strip of bacon to keep himself
alive, should deter many man from
foolishly rushing into that barren
country after gold. The real suffer-
ing has not yet begun and it is terrible
to think of the winter that is before
thousands of prospectors in that
country. Very soon the winter will set
in and it will be impossible to obtain
news of those who are shut in for the
next six or eight months.
The ''bears" are on top in the wheat
market. They have been able to force
prices down the past few days, while
the ''bulls" coull rot effect a rs ise.
Thus it is these speculators are able to
govern the markets dealing in the
necessities of life, living off the earn
ings of others. Even though they
own seats. ia. the stock boards, they
are no better. or more honorable than
those who hover around the banking
games and fleece the suckers" The
wheat speculator adds no more to the
worlds wealth than does the 'sure
thing" gambler. nor is he a more de.
sirable adjunct to society.
The fears that the United States
government will lose something in its
silver holdings on account of the drop
in that metal are baseless. Ali the
silver bullion which was obtained un-
der the Sherman law will ultimately
be converted into coin under the ex-
isting ratio, says the Globe-Democrat
Why. we would ask, are these fears
baseless? If silver is ever TO be only
token money. what is the need of il
as money at ali? Why not use papar
| instead? Our silver coin is now more
than half fiat, and to continue Going it
under present conditions would be the
sheerest folly. So long as we are on a
gold standard, there is no sense in US
ing any other metal as money. All
other money should be paper for sill
YER even at % cents an ounce is too
valuable fer subsidiary coin. If We
continue on the gold standard, the
government cannot but lose on
the investment it made in silver under

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The
steamer Australia, from Honolulu
direct, arrived today with the follow,
ing Hawaiian advices:
Francis NJ. Hatch, minister to Wash.
ington, arrived August 20 with i'm
portant information, which will re.
quire the attention of both the govern.
ment and senate, and secret notice has
already been issued to members OF the
latter body calling upon them to meet
in extra session on September 8 to
consider the question. Meanwhile
Minister Hatch is in almost constant
consultation with President Dole and
his cabinet. The lawmakers. will be
asked to ratify an annexation treaty
recently sig ned in Washington, and as
a majority of the members favor an
nexation, the matter will be rushed
through.
Another matter to be considered by
the Hawaiian senate is thIt of render.
ing assistance to the executive in un-
raveling the Japanese muddle. There
are rumors OF a split In . the cabinet
over the question, and it is said the in
tervention of the senate is required to
prevent an open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star created sensa-
tion by the publication of a scheme,
alleged to have been backed by the
sugar trust to block annexation. 1t is
said every Hawaiian In the group had
been called upon TO appear in Homo
lulu September II to participate in
demonstration against a
closer political union with the United
States. Senators Morgan and Quay
are expected to arrive from the United
States on that day, and the object OF
the anti-annexationists is to impress
them with this feeling on the islands.

dismissed the, matter briefly, saying:
"There is no question in my mind

that Hawaii may at once ratify the
