The Outlook, which is an intelligently ed
tied paper, declares that it thinks that it
was a mistake to abandon a system of BIZ
metalism which worked well and by Its
workings disproved the arguments made
against it." Will the Outlook point out the
period when the United States had prac-
teal bimetallism, meaning thereby the cir
culation of both metals as money on equal
terms under any law of free coinage? If
it can it will furnish information which will
refute the statements of the men who
changed the ratio from 10 to l to 16 to 1.

Indianians are proud of their colleges. and
the young men and women who attend them
are always welcome at the capital. The
business that brings them may not appear
important to the rest of the world, but it
is important to them, and earncstness in
that foreshadows earnestness III the larger
affairs that will engage their attention
few years hence. In a little while these
young people will be helping to maintain
and increase the prestige of the State of
Indiana. Therefore, take them up tenderly,
lift them with care, fashioned so slenderly,
young and so fair.

voters were robbed of the right of suffrage.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

WASHINGTON. June 9.-The conference
report on the war; revenue bill has .besn
adopted this midnight. There was
strong feeling on the Republican side
against the silver seigniorage provision,
and the Nav England and New York
Republicans were generally brought to
vote for it only by the strenuous represen-
tation that if the report should be re-
jected it would serve as an excuse for the
silver majority. in the Senate to impose
still worse conditions. The most promi-
nent Senate Republicans urged that the
crisis was grave and that the whole rev.
enue bill, on which the support of the
army and navy depended, might be de-
layed indefinitely if the House. should
not accede. . With: this crisis impending
the House Republicans reluctantly con.
sented. The experience this evening has
undoubtedly convinced some of the
most rabid advocates Of Hawaiian an
nexation that the revenue: bill is not
yet safe and that Speaker Reeds advice
to let Hawaii alone until the revenue
bill is safe, is wisest after all.
Indeed, this has been recognized for
some time in an indirect way.
A week ago Mr.. Reed said to Mr.. Gros-
venor that business could bs arranged
for him to go ahead with Hawaii at any
time. The Speaker said, however, that he
wanted the Hawaiian advocates to take
the responsibility of delaying the reve-
nue. bill If such should be the result.
When they found themselves with the
responsibility on their own shoulders
instead of on the Speakers, they began
to go slow. Within the last day or two,
finding themselves prodded for not NOV
ing, they have been trying to lay off to
some one else the responsibility of the de-
lay.
They have even charged that the Lacy
bill to allow soldiers to vote was put in
the way to shut out Hawaii. The suffic-
lent answer of this is that the Lacey
bill was made continuing order by
unanimous consent, any member having
the right to prevent it. No advocate of
Hawaii raised his voice. This explains
the whole situation. 1t is probable that
Hawaii will come up in the House in the
regular order of business in a few days
now, if the revenue bill seems safe.
