ng hearts were to be joined together
n the holy bonds of matrimony.
Minute, after minute passed by, and
no report which would announce the

became more impatient, but their

n:-d to keep all our moneys at a

plores -tha fact that, the greenbacks
: u't stay redeemed after they are
r ' med. He thinks that gold
should be received for greenbacks
: j h tld m the treasury to be ex
o :-i gtd for gold only. He would
lj.ct tte tax on banks, allow the
issue of bank notes to the limit of
1 he bank' security deposit and allow
bmks of minimum papital of $25,-
000 for the benefit of smaller towns.
The President deplores the issue of
bonds and thinks action to make it
unnecessary should be taken. -The
President evidently hopes to keep
Congress quiet on the Cutan ques
tion, pointing out that the Spanish
policy is no longer one of detruc
tion; but of preservation, progress
and amicableness. He thinks the
United States should give a chance
to the new policy assuring Congress
'that the administration will act
promptly and vigorously if occasion
arises.
The President urges the ratifica
tion of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty and points to the fact that
the islands have demonstrated their
ability to maintain the government
of statehood for nearly five years.
He does not exactly admit that
Fnternational bimetallism is hope
less. : '
free trade with certain nacions only,
is advocated.
Some progress is being made to
save the seals in the Pacific waters.
The President urges international
arbitration and a completion of our
naval equipments, including more
docks.
The Altskan situation is viewed
" r
and steps urged to protect its in
habitants .from "the peril of. starva
tion. ' - i
There are white people in the In
dian Territory with less chance than
the Indians. -This '.needs' attention
Quarantine laws, he thinks, should
be extended so as to prevent the in
troduction of epidemic diseases from
other countries and that, provisions
rLould ba made for an expert com
tension to investigate yellow fever.
The President asks Congress to
determine whether the government
shall buy the Pacific railroad and
own it as property rather than let it
go to sale at much loss to the goy
eminent. , :
The President would much rather
improve and perfect the civil jservice
lawsv than repeal them.
The closing section urges .economy '
