SILVER BONDS.

Now, the gold advocates are not op-
posed TO rhe Issuing IF bonds Thew

I'ct to any State issuing silver bonds,
They cant object, and of course tbe
gold meC won't buy silver bonds, and
they don't have to buv them if thew
dont want them. Now, suppose the
State OF Nevada vas to issue ten mil
liois of silver bonds drawing interest
OF one mill on he dollar per annum
These bonds could be issued in the
sums Of SIS, $40, 500, $50, 300, $500 and
$1,000, and they could be made legal
tender for al debts contracted in the
State Of Nevada, and receivable for
taxes. That would pe a market for
ten millions Of silver. The bonds
would ron for twenty years, payable
IN silver bullion, the same as was re-
celved for them, 50 they would be
worth their face in silver and if every
eilver State did the same thing in pro-
portion to the taxable property in the
State, it would furnish that law made
market for al the silver and then sill
Yer would go to 1919 per ounce.
You must bear in mind that these
bonds would not be money, they would
be bond Interest bearing bonds, and
consequently not subject to the Gov
eminent tax of ten per cent They
you'd be used like money and be
legal tender in the State that issued
them, but they would be bonds. Now.
silver is a commodity and would be

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

Senator Lodge Believes It Will Be Ac-
complished Before Christmas.
BOSTON, Oct 6.-"I look upon the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands as
practically accomplished, said Senator
Lodge ''The treaty will be taken up
at once when congress assemblies in De-
cember, and think there is an easy ma
jority in the senate in favor of its rati-
fcation. If.it should appear probable
that an opposition is developing sufi-
cient to defeat ratification the remedy
will be very simple. There is joint
resolution of annexation of the islands
on the calendar, which does not require
a two thirds vote, as in the case of the
vote for ratification Of a treaty. A sim
pie majority in both houses will accom-
plish the same result, and that major
ity we have easily. If it appears prob
able that ratification may tail we shall
simply slip in the resolution and act on
that in place Of the treaty. Before
Christmas certainly expect that Ha-
waii will be American territory.

"Our men were never imbued with a

them to pledge these lands as security

The principal work accomplished by
the irrigation congress was the passage

a recommendation for the creation of a
public land commission to ascertain
changes necessary in public lands laws
to meet existing conditions in the arid
West; and Recommendation that the

more valuable for timber than for ag-
