Washington. Dec 6.-FolloWang is the
message submitted to congress by Presi-
dent Mckinley at the opening of the ses-
sion:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
It gives me great pleasure to extend
greeting to the Fifty-fifth congress, as
sembled in regular session at the seat of
government, with many Of whose sena-
tors and representatives have been as
sociated in legislative service. Their meet
ing occurs under fencitous conditions, jus
tifying sincere congratulation and calling
for our grateful acknowledgement to a
beneicent Providence which has so sig
nally blessed and prospered US as a ma
tion. Peace end good VIII with ALI the
nations OF the earth continues unbroken.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and
unification of all sections of our coun-
try the incompleteness of which has too
long delayed realization of the highest
blessings ofthe union. The spirit of pa
triotism is universal and is ever increas-
ing in fervor. The public questions which
now most engross us are lifted far above
either partisanship, prejudice or former
sectional differences. They affect every
part of our country alike. and permit of
no division on ancient lines. Questions
of foreign policy. of revenue, the sound
ness of the currency, the inviolability of
national obligations, the improvement of
the public service, appeal to the individ-
ual conscience of every earnest citizen to
whatever party he belongs or in what
ever section of the country he may reside.
The extra session of this congress which
closed during July last enacted import>
ant legislation. and while it's full effects
have not yet been realized, what it has
already accomplished assures US of its
timeliness and wisdom. To test its per-
manent value further time viii be re
quired and the people. satisfied with its
operation and results thus far. are in no
mind to withhold from it a fair trial

MORE ENTERPRISE.
Now the New York journal
Will Inaugurate War and
Garry it On.

London, Dec. 6.-The papers here
give marked prominence to a story
about the reported intention of the
New York Journal to invade Cuba
The Westminster Gazette remarks un-
der the title. THE New York Journals
Alleged Plan for Invading Cuba"
Mr. Stead told US the other day in
the Review of Reviews that the New
York Journal meagt to do things as
well as chronicle things done by other
folks. One thinks of this on reading
the statement that the New York cor
respondent of Correspondence de Es-
pana telegraphs he has obtained con-
hdential news that an expedition to
Cuba is being organized by a New
York newspaper, the Journal, and that
if the project is carried out, the results
will be serious.
The Correspondence states that
Carl Decker, who rescued Senorita
Evangelina Cisneros, aided by other
journalists, will attempt bold stroke
in Cuba with the object of bringing
perhaps affording casus belli. It can
not be doubted, adds the correspond
ent, that this attempt will be made un-
der the cry of annexation and with the
waving of the United States flag The
Journal is only waning the opening or
congress in order that the excitement
caused by its attempt may facilitate a
solution of the Cuban problem in a
manner favorable to the Insurgents
The Evening News publishes a poem
on the project while the Morning
Leader interviewed Richard Harding
Davis on the truth of the story The
public generally attaches much cred
of the Cisneros affair excited wide

THOSE ROTTEN BOROUGHS.
Another Case of the Absurd School
DISTRICT Situation in the West.

A Logan county school teacher will
have the pleasure of going to her
school house constantly during the
next four months, meeting no pupils,
conducting no exercises, simply draw
ing her salary.
This surprising condition has been re-
ported to the state superintendent by
superintendent HOskins of Logan
county. The directors of district
contracted with a teacher for a seven
months school. She has taught three
months and now finds that every pupil
has either moved out of the district or
is unable to attend the regular sessions
because of the extreme distance.
The board and the teacher compro-
missed, the arrangement being that she
should now give up her contract. ac-
cept pay for five months and release
the board from further obligation,
neither the officials nor the teacher be-
ing responsible for the non attendance
of the pupils. This question was re-
ferred to the attorney general, who
holds that no such compromise can be
legally made. Under this opinion, the
young woman will simply visit the
school house, put in the regular time
there and draw pay for amusing her
self through the dreary hours which
she will spend alone in the isolated
school house

Mr. Pruden who had followed the
committee into the hall Immediately
presented the message of the president,
which by direction of Speaker Reed,
was read at the clerks desk.
The message was listened to with
great earnestness, especially the por-

with our attitude toward Cuba The
presidents utterances on both subjects
seemed to impress the members deeply

IT COSTS MONEY
And Too Much of It to Get Coal to
Topeka State Institutions

The Rock Island railroad. according to a
complaint filed with the state board of
railroad commissioners today, charges the
state S11 to $16 per car for switching coal
from the Rock Island yards to the insane
asylum and reform school in this city
Years ago the state made an agreement
with the Rock Island under the prOVis-
ions of which the state constructed the
switch spurs from the Rock Island tracks

railroad company furnishing the equip

Preceding October l. 1897, the company
charged the uniform rate of 50 per car
for placing coal at the institutions. Upon
that date a change was inaugurated the
company requiring the payment of cents
per 100 pounds for the service.
The president of the board of charities
w. L. Brown. today filed petition with

CURRENCY REVISION.
Course to be Followed is Plain and
Congress Should Not Hesitate.

Congress Should N OF Hesitate
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session of congress. the question
next pressing for consideration is that of
the currency. The work of putting our
finances upon a sound basis difficult as
it may seem. will appear easier when we
recall the financial operation of the gov
ernment since 1866. On the Goth day of
June of that year. we had outstanding
demand liabilities in the sum of $72S. $685.
447.41. On the 1st of Janua9y, 1879. these
liabilities had been reduced to S443.S .SS9,-
1888 OF our interest bearing obliga-
tions the figures are even more striking.
On July l. 1866 the principal and interest
bearing bearing debt of the government
was 81 332, ,3s1. POS. On the list day of July.
1898 this sum had been reduced to $3.50
O37 100. an aggregate reduction of 81,
"A. .294. los The interest bearing debt of
the United States on the 1st day of De
cember 1897, was $S47. .365. $40. The govern~
ment money now outstanding December

dard silver dollars.
With the great resources of the govern
ment and with the time honored example
hesitate to enter upon a currency revision
which Will make our demand obligations
less ouerous to the government and relieve
our financial laws from ambiguity and
doubt.
The brief review of what was accomp-
lished from the close of the war to 1898
makes unreasonable and groLndless any
distrEst either of our financial ability or
soundness; while the situation from 1893
to 1897 must admonish congress Of the i'm
mediate necessity of so legislating as to
make the return of the conditions then
prevailing impossible.
There are many plans proplsed as
remedy for the evil. Before we can find
the true remedy we must appreciate the
real evil. 1t is rot that our currency of
every kind is not good, for every dollar of
it is good Good because the govern
ment's pledge is out to keep it so, and
that pledge will not be broken. However
