DOLE THE NATIONS GUEST.
President Directs an Oficial Reception
Commencing at Chicago.

frcsluent Dlfccts an OntC1al Reception,
Commencing at Chicago.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Arrangements
are making for the entertainment of
President Dole of Hawaii on a scale be-
fitting his rank as the chief magistrate
of friendly nation. 1t has been decided
that he shall be regarded as the nations
guest, and that our government shall
bear the expense of his entertainment
while in Washington.
President Mckinley has decided to
have the official tour of the Hawaiia,,
president begin OF Chicago, and at that
point in his overland tour he will I,
met by the representatives of the presi
dent and of the United States govern
ment. This is brought about by the
fact that the representatives would not
have time to reach San Francisco before
the departure of President Dole for the
east. The personal representative of
the president will be Third Assistant
Secretary of State Thomas w. Cridlcr:
the army will be represented by Major
III. o. S. Heistand, assistant adiutant
general, and the navy probably by
Lieutenant Commander T. e. Phelps,
now in this city on leave of absence, the
last named being personally acquainted
with the distinguished visitor and
speaking the Kanaka language fiuently.
The three representatives of the presi-
dent and of the government will go to
Chicago as soon as they receive notice
of the probable arrival of President
Dole and escort him to Washington.
When he arrives here he will be quar-
tered at the Arlington, where Lii Hung
Chang, Princess Eulalia and other ma
tional guests have been entertained, and
his comfort will be closely looked after
by the government representatives.
1t is expected that his stay will not be
long, and, while the exact nature of the
powers reposed by the Hawaiian gov
ernment in President Dole is not known
at the state department, there is reason
to believe that he may be authorized to
act for his government in the matter Of
accepting any amendment that may be
made in the annexation treaty, and thus
save valuable time in the conclusion of
the negotiations.

Regarding the national bank feature
of Secretary Cages plan Mr.. Gompers
says: "lt would make the banks guar.
dian over our volume of money and so
of our measure of values. 1t would en-.
able the banbs, working in the interest
of the spectators, to cause movements
in prices with great certainty, enable
them to depress prices by contracting
the currency and raise prices by ex-
panding the same. 1t would make the
banks the masters, the many the slaves,
and would enrich the few and impov-
erish the multitude"

BUNDS PAID IN SILVER.
Teiier's Resolution Reported Favorably
TO the senate

/
TO the senate
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - The open
session of the senate was brief, practi-
| cally the only business accomplished
aside from the routine proceedings was
the passage of the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill. The measure as finally
passed by the senate carries 81 3,S10.
The Teller resolution, providing that
bonds of the United States may be paid
in standard silver dollars, was favorably
reported by a majority of the finance
committee, and notice was given that it
would be called up at an early date. An
effort was made to fix q time for the
final vote on the pending census bill,
but was abandoned.
The vote on the Teller resolution
stood to in the committee.
The resolution is practically the same
as the Stanley Matthews resolution
adopted some years ago.
Those voting for the resolution were
Messrs. Vest, Jones (Ark.), White,
Walthall, Turpie, Daniel, Democrats;
Jones (Nev.), Silver Republican, and
Wolcott, Republican.
Those against Morrill,, Allison, Aid.
Senator Jones of Nevada was not
present, but his vote was, by his re.
quest, recorded in favor of the reso.
luton.
The vote in the committee was pre-
ceded by discussion, which was gener-
ally participated in by the members of
the committee. The general tenor Of
the discussion was along the same lines
as that OF week ago, the Republicans
contending that the resolution was use.
less and would be devoid of results, and
the Democrats and their allies taking
the opposite position. The Republicans
especially deprecated the agitation of
the financial question at the present
time, saying there was no effort, and
likely to be none, to pass general finan-
clal measure through the senate com.
mitting the country more definitely to
the gold standard.
To this the Democrats replied by cit
ing the efforts of Secretary Gage and
ex-senator Edmunds to have congress
take up the question in way which
looked to placing the country definitely
upon gold bpsis. They contended that
1t was the evident purpose of the admins
tration to secure legislation i'll the inter.
est of the single standard whenever op-
portunity offered and avowed their pur-
pose of securing a declaration in favor
of double standard, such as was pro-
posed i'll this resolution, if possible to do
so, in order to show that there had been
no change in sentiment. If, they said,
the business interests were to be in
jured by the agitation of the financial
question at this time, the blame should
be placed upon the Republican admins.
tration and not upon themselves.
When some of the Republican sena.
tors were reminded that they had voted
for the resolution when presented by
Hon. Stanley Matthews 20 years ago
they admitted such to be the fact, but
said in explanation of their present at
titude that conditions had changed.
Senator Wolcott did not vote with his
Republican friends, but heartily sup
ported the resolution, saying he would
vote for it every time it came up.

The President had good words for Sec,
rotary Cages plan, one object of which
is to tix absolutely on the country the
gold standard. The gold plan of the
Edmund s commission is also before the
house committee on the currency. This
commission was appointed by the execu.
tive committee of the so-called Business
Mems convention held at Indianapolis a
year ago. This arrangement is gold
standard also, and they too want re-
form, in their way, that is to give to
paper money banks entire control, so
that they could expand and contract the
currency to suit themselves and give
them control OF values and business.
This scheming is to put the people more
and more at the mercy of the money
power. The outlook is they will not
succeed even with this congress. Ii is to
be hoped they will not.

TWO LEGS BETTER THAN ONE.

A human being finds two legs better
than one in getting along in this world
and assuredly mankind in their various
business relations have found two metals
better than one This is history as far
back as We know anything about it.
Bimetallism has been the rule. Only of
late single standard has been attempt
ed, and that gold when silver would be
the better, in all respects, il the welfare of
the common people were to be regarded
A learned delegate at the Brussels in
ternationsl conference in 1898 who was
an able advocate of bimetallism, illus
trated the two legs aud the one leg idea
by reference to France and England
pointing to the fact of the greater
financial stability of France. England,
he said was constantly in a panicky
condition. If her gold fund was drawed
on an alarm was sounded at once and up
went the rates of discount and
trade was hampered or blocked. Sacri-
fees had to be made to get back the
gold. oftentimes driving business men
into bankruptcy, or at least embarrass-
ing them by the sacrifices required.
France on the other hand protects her
gold reserve by her silver, and she is not
subject therefore TO such sudden alarms
and business disturbance. Such is his
rory and such are the facts. Bimetallism
Is an absolute necessity. Two legs are
'ecidedly better than one.

The Democrats of the Ohio general

way they stood up to the work in their
efforts to defeat NJ. A. Hanna. And as
suredly, the gallant Republican contin-

principle, and feared not for the conse-
quences. These gentlemen will be more
honored and held in fresh remembrance

CLEVELAND, Jan. ia dispatch
from Lima, o., says the trainmen Of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railway have had grievance since
1892, when u reduction was made in
their wages by allowing them only half
time for light trains and cutting their
overtime. II is said secret meetings
have been held to take some action in
the matter. The officials of the road in
this city do not anticipate any trouble,
and say there is no possibility of strike.
Still 1t is admitted that there is some
discussion as to the redress of griev-
ances in which representatives of the
railway brotherhoods are taking part.
The federated orders of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton railway sys-
ten are holding their annual conven-
ton here. They consist of conductors,
engineers, tiremen, telegraphers and
trainmen. The members of the execu-
tive boards of the system gave positive
denial that any of the order have or
had any grievance against their employ
ers, and that all statements to the con-
trary are untrue.
