Two Deaths From Cholera Last Night at Gravesend. THE DISEASE BROUGHT BY STEAMER FROM HAMBURG. Every Precaution Adopted to Prevent Its Spread—No Improvement in the Situation at Hamburg—New Cases and Many Deaths Reported—Means to Bar the Pest Out of American Ports—An Officiai’s Fears. Lonpon, Aug. 26.—There is now no doubt that cholera has at last entered England. The disease was brought here by the steamer Gemma which arrived at Gravesend yester- day from Hamburg. It was reported that the steamer was infected but the authorities after examining the passengers allowed them toland. Afew hoursafter twoaliens, who had arrived on the Gemma, were taken sick. They were at once removed to the hospital at Gravesend where the doctors pronounced their malady cholera. in spite of everything that was done for them they died shortly after they were admitted. The fact has caused considera ble anxiety but there is no panicky feeling. The local government board and the health authorities of the various English ports will see to it that a more strict inspection is made of vessels’ passengers from infected ports. The report of the death of two patients at Gravesend was telegraphed throughout the country and caused the health authorities at the various ports to be on the alert for ar- rivals from places known to be infected with cholera. To-day the steamer Laura, plying between Hamburg and Lynn-Regis, an Eng- lish port on the Great Ouse, arrived at Lynn. She was boarded bythe health officials who found twocholera suspects on board. The vessel was at once ordered to put back to sea. The officers and passengers protested against such summary treatment, but the health of- ficers were obDdurate and positively refused to let a single person land from the steamer, Sixty passengers on board the Hamburg-Am- erican steamer Columbia from New York, which arrived at Southampton yesterday, changed their minds about proceeding to Hamburg when they learned of the cholera epidemic there. They left the Columbia when they found that the company had or- dered that she proceed no furtherand took passage for Flushing, in the Netherlands. Prince Esterhazy, attache of the Russian Embassy, here, has been suffering from an attack of cholerine but is now recovering. The North German Lioyd Steamship Line has given notice that no emigrants from Russia will be carried in the steerage. Gravesend, just below which piace the cholera hospital is situated, has issued posters advising tne residents of the town to take precautions to guard against the dis- ease. STRICKEN CITIES, CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN VIRULENCE AT HAMBURG—OTHDBR POINTS. HAMBURG, Aug. 26.—The cholera continues to grow in virulence. Light hundred cases were recorded yesterday, many of the vic- tims having been siezed but a few hours be- fore they perished, The total number of deaths was 140. Prof. Koch has telegraphed to Berlin that the plague is increasing in Hamburg. The authori- ties are doing everything possible to stay the spread ofthe disease. The bathing station and public markets have been closed, the schools shut up and all public meetings, balls, dancesand gatherings, whether for business oramusement, have beeg prohib- ited. Fortunately there is no extradérdinary temperature tO aggravate the disease. The beat is normal. —_—_—-— — ANTWERP BILLS OF HEALTH. ANTWERP, Aug. 26.—The Scheldt Board of Health has taken action such as is likely to cause little reliance to be placed on bills of health issued by it. It has announced that it sees no reason to make any change in its bills of bealth on account of a few suspicious cases of sickness coming from Havreand Hamburg. It will, therefore, continue to deliver clean bills of health. As it is indisputably provedthat Asiatic cholera is present in Antwerp the health authorities of other cities will Know the value of clean bilis of health issued by the Scheldt Boara. At any rate they will not be accepteu at the Hague, that port having already officially de- clared that Antwerp Is infected with cholera. RUSSIA’S SCOURGE. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.—The cholera re- turns of yesterday show another upward jump in the number of new cases reported, On Wednesday 5,679 new cases were reported, Yesterday there were 6,322 newcases. The deaths also show an increase. Yesterday there were 2,977 deaths reported against 2,- 748 for Wednesday. In St. Petersburg there were reported yesterday 103 new cases aud twenty-four deaths. : PRECAUTIONS AN VIENNA. VIENNA, Aug. 26.—Additional precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of cholera. Theservice of through carriages from Constantinople to Vienna has been suspended, like the service from Warsaw to Vienna, for fear of the introduction) of the choiera. The carriages to and from Constanti- nople go only as far as the Austro-Servian at Semlin. There passengers undergo a medi- cal examination and have to change into different carriages. GUARDING THE FRONTIER. KONIGSBURG, Aug. 26.—The Government has ordered the suspension of all traffic on the Russian frontier except at Eydtkumen and Prostken. A multitude of intending emi- grants have been stopped at points oh tne frontier and driven back to Russia. In the two stations named travelers and baggage undergo rigid inspection and disinfection. Prof. hl at of Kiel and Dr. Glavser have charge of the sanitary service on the fron- tier. SANITARY MEASURES AT HAVRE. Paris, Aug. 26.—The latest regarding cholera at Havreisthat twenty-eight cases appeared on Thursday and that there were ten deaths from cholera that day. The au- thorities at Havre have been instructed to adopt the most stringent sanitary measures and especially to isolate every case. | -TO BAR OUT THE PEST. PROMPT ACTION WILL RE TAKEN BY UNITED * STATES OFFICIALS. WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 26.—The Govern- rthe spread of the disease, They still regard the situation as one requiring stringent methods and these, they beHeve, they have adopted. This afternoon a consultation was held between Secretary of State Foster and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spald- ing. Laterthey sent for officials of the Ma- rine Hospital Bureau and discussed the ques- tions of an absolute quarantine of vessels plying between this country and the infected ports of Europe. It was not deemed necessa- ry atthistime totake such action, but it Is more than likely it will be done before many days. There is at least one official who strongly urges ab absolute quarantineand he thinks itoughtto be ordered atonce. Speaking on this to-day, he said: ‘‘It is now thirty-seven ears since the United States has been vis- ted by Asiatic cholera and those who re- member it don’t want another experience of the dreaded disease. No vessel should be allowed to enter an American port from any port where cholera prevails and no question of iaconvenience of tourists should enter into the matter. No vessel carrying rags or other material in which cholera is likely to be carried should be accepted fromany port where the disease prevails, and lastly, special details of health officers should be made to guard the entry of tramp steamers at every seaport. This and this alone, in my opinion, will prevent the cholera from gettinga holdinthiscountry. Itis not too late now to act, butit may be so in a few days.’’ In accordance with the recommendation of the Marine Supervising Surgéon-General of the Hospital Service, the Collector of Customs at New York has been directed to refuse to allow the entry of licorice root com- ing from Batoum, Russia, inasmuch as Batoum is the center of the infected district in Russia, and cholera has been prevailing in that city in epidemic form during the present season. While licorice root in itself is not likely to convey the infection to the department, it is a source of danger and do not deem it advisable to allow the im- rtation thereof. Assistant Secretary paiding says that copies of the department’s circulars of the sth ult. and 1l7th and 19th inst. have been sent to the Secretary of State with the request that the prop- er Consular officers be furnished therewith, The Secretary of State was also requested to communicate by. cablegram with the Consul- General at London. No further information touching the chol- era had been received at the Department of State up to2 p. m. to-day. NEW YORK DREADS THE PLAGUE. New YORK, Aug. 26.—The Quarantine Board is using every precaution to prevent the spread of cholera in this country. The Quar- antine Commissioners will visit the Island to-m@rrow on a tour of inspection. Dr. Cyrus Edson, Sanitary Superintendent, describes the situation as follows: **Personally I feel very secure in regard to cholera, and dread an epidemic of cholera much less than I would one of typhus fever. In the first place, therecan be no mistakes maGe in diagnosing the disease. Then, too, the disease develops much more rapidiy than typhus. It would, therefore, be absolutely impossible for an immigrant tocome into this country with latent cholera, which might de- velop after he had passed quarantine. The cholera is not so contagious as typhus. It develops ana multiplies with marvelous ra- pidity, but cannot be carried without the aid of animal life.’’ The General Agentofthe White Star Line, Mr. H. Maitiand Kersey, has issued the fol- lowing circulartothe agents of that line: **speciai Notice—No prepaid tickets must be-issued from Antwerp, Amsterdam, Bre- men, Hamburg, Havre, Rotterdam, Paris, Ogdensburg, or other continental points without further notice; but agents may con- tinge to issue prepaid tickets from British, Irish, Scandinavian and Finnish points.’’ The health officials of New York are to- day prepared to fight off the scourge of cholera should it make its appearance, and they fully realize that every vessel, which, from this time on, arrives in port from the infected districts in Europe, is a source of danger, and that each one must be watched with the closest scrutiny. Since the disease became so virulent both in Hamburg and Antwerp no steamships have arrived here from those ports. Inthe case of the steamship La YTouraine ofthe French line, due here to-morrow, the Consul atfirst gavea clean Dill of health, but after the vessel sailed he recalled it, and has cabled to nave the vessel thoroughly in- spected on her arrival. Preparations are being made to-day by Health Officer Jenkins tocarry out these in- structions. La Touraine will be detained at Quarantine until every passenger has been examined carefully and all suspicious look- ing baggage thoroughly fumigated. The Board of Heaith has prepareda circu- lar, which is now in the hands of the printer, to be publishedin English, German, French and ltalilan, and distributed broadcast as soon asthe first case of cholera is reported here, It contains instructions as to food and the proper care of the person and pre- mises to prevent the spread of the contagion. In addition tothis an inspection of all the tenements in thiscity has peen ordered to see if the plumbing is in order, and that there ts no accumulation of dirt and refuse in any of them which might breed disease. Extraordinary precautionary measures are being taken by the Board of Health to insure the cleanliness of the city, and this morning an extensive raid is being made on the hast Side in search of decayed fruit and veget- ables in the poor quarter. Quarantine Commissioner Muller said this morning that everything possible was being done to protect the city from possible danger from incoming ships. The quarantine boat lllinois was sent down the bay this morning with Supt. Starin, who will examine into the condition of Hospital Island. To-morrow the Quarantine Board will make personal in- spections to satisfy themselves that all is well. At the office of the Royal Netherlands Line it was said that there was no cholera reported at Rotterdam, not even in a mild form. Their ship Werxendam passed in all well yesterday. The manager of the Red Star Line said that they had as yet no official tidings of the ex- istence of cholera at Antwerp. The major- ity of theiremigrants were from the north- ern ports of Europe, and were of the better class. The best known methods of fumiga- tion were being used and the passeugers were being thoroughly inspected. The offic- lais of the French line say that every precau- tion is being taken at Havre. They have re- fused immigrants from Palestine, Arabia, Syria and Russia. ‘‘Our European agents,’’ said one of the Officers, ‘‘have been warned through a specially preparea circular to refuse all such passengers.’’ The Board of Health to-day issued the fol- lowing order in reference to preparations De- ing made to fight cholera: **The attention of the Sanitary bureau is to be particularly directed to the following matters: The Chief Sanitary Inspector will causea thorough investigation to be made and sanitary defects remedied as follows: 1. Old wells to be closed. , Ot private vaults tobe cleaned and disin- ected. 3. Old school sinks and water closets to be cleaned and disinfected. 4. Depressed gutters and gutter covers to he cleaned, disinfected and graded. 5. Old tenement houses, rookeries, etc., to be thoroughly inspected and all sanitary defects therein remecied: also to thoroughly clean all walis and eilings. °S. epressed yards, areas and sidewalks to be cleaned, disinfected and graded. 7. Yard hydrants amd sinks to ,be placed in thor- ough popes and pavements about them. . Defective water pipes, waste paper, sinks, etc., to be put in thorough repairs. 9. Roofs of all maridings. especially tenement, to be cleansed, and kept clean. a Covers to be provided for water tanks on roof, ‘ FROM HAMBURG. Boston, Mass., Aug. 26.—The steamer Kehrweider arrived this morning from Ham- burg and will be quarantined. The Kehr- weider was flying her quarantine flag as she passed Hull an passed into quarantine shortly afterwards. ACTION IN BALTIMORE. BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 26.—Dr. McShane and his assistant Health Commissioner, Dr. H. L. Spier, Wm. D. Atkison of the North German Lioyd, plying between Baltimore and Bremen; J. 8. Gorman, representing the Atlantic Transport Line; Fred Schriver, rep- | tal, and’ Dr. sidney” timo q : a plan, if possible, to prevent the entry of cholera into Baltimore. Dr. McShane stated that while he wasnot apprehensive of any immediate danger, yet he thought it would be advisable totake all the precautionary measures within reach. He suggested that the baggage of persons coming from infected districts be placed ina separate compart- mentand fumigated by steam on the way across the Atlantic. This fumigation should be done under the direction of the ship’s doctor, who could, he thought, be relied upon, | DETROIT AROUSED. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 26.—The Health Board is thoroughly aroused on the cholera question. Aspecial meeting was hela this afternoon to devise means for keeping the deadly disease out of Detroit, in case it should get across the Atlaatic. Health Of- ficer Duffield explained his plan for estab- lishing quarantne regulations at the railroad depots for the care of the immigrants who have come from infected ships, His idea is to have one or more cars set aside by the rallroad companies at each station for the use of the health department. The emigrants will be keptin these cars until all danger is past. Incase there are any Peete they will be treated incars converted into hospl- tals. Receiving basins will be provided for ali refuse from the cars sothat itcanbe de- stroyed without being placed in the city sew- ers. The board was favorably impressed by Dr. Duffield’s plan and adopted a resolution instructing him to take a stop, toward carry- ing it into effect. . THE NEW TREATMENT. DISCOVERY MADE BY DR. HAFFKENE AT THE PASTEUR INSTITUTE. NEw YORK, Aug. 26.—Medical men in this city are greatly interested ina new treat- ment ofcholera discovered at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and it was learned that in case the epidemic continues tospread the efficacy of the treatment will be promptly and thoroughly tested by New York experts. Of the treatment, which is analogous to that employed by Jenner in small-pox and by Pasteur in hydrophobla, Dr. Haffkene, who has been studying at the Pasteur Institute for some years, claimsto be the discoverer. He isconfident thatthe inoculatory method will be for cholera what it has already done for small-pox and hydrophobia. He has used choleraic vaccine upon several animals and none of them has died, while of those animals subjected to the poisonous virus and not inoculated allhave died. After his experiment witn rabbits,guinea pigs,pigeons had proved successful, Dr. Haffkene injected into himself some attentuated virus of cholera and noted thatthe resultant symp- toms were a slight elevation of the tempera- ture, pains in the head, dryness in the mouth and aswelling of the skin and gan- giiaat the spot where the inocuiation took place. There was scarcely any intestinal de- rangement,and the normai condition of heaith was restored within twenty four hours. He next experimented upon bimself with ac- tive virus with the same results, and he con- cluded that inoculations of this kind could be made upon human beings with perfect safety, and withthe assurance that six days after the vaccination the patients would be proofagainst all attacks of cholera. The process of injection is simple. The vaccine igs injected into each animal twice, after whica it is pronounced cholera proof. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE, REPRESENTATIVES OF HEALTH BOARDS CON- SULTING AT. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 26.—The possibil- ity of cholera reaching the American shores, has become so alarming that the Executive Committee of the Conference of State Boards of Health are meeting in this city to-day to take precautionary measures. The committee is not an executive body, but itisa partof its duty on an occa- sion like thisto take the initiative in recom- mending to local, State and national officials and Boards of Health what should be done. Dr. J. L. McCormick of Bowling Green, Ky., president of the international conference, arrived last night, and this morning while awaiting the coming of the other members hadalong conference with Secretary Metcalf of the Indiana State Board of Hegith as to what should be done. It was the opinion of both that while there was no immediate danger of the disease reaching America, it would be well to take radical precautionary measures. Mr. McCormick said the coast inspections were inadequate in many places and that it would be a part of the duty ofthe Inter- national Conference to hunt out those weak places and see that the proper steps were taken to prevent the pos- sibility of the disease being brought in. He said that there should be especial precautions taken at the port of New York which Is dl- rectly under the -supervision of local authorities who only a few months ago, permitted smallpoxto be brought into this country. Dr. McCormick expressed the opinion that the committee ought to appoint a number of sanitary experts to visit and in- spect all the ports on the Atlantic and that the California State Board of Health be instructed to look after the ports on the Pacific coast and see that proper precautions are taken to prevent theJanding of any cholera-infected persons. Early in_ the forenoon Dr. 0, PB Probst of Columbus, O., arrived, and the three members of the committee now spent a couple of hours in outlining wnat they thought should be done. A telegram was sent io Dr. Reilly, Secretary ofthe LIli- nois state Board of Health, who has been active in advising the precautionary measures be taken, urging him to set on foot a movement to secure the co. operation of commercial clubs, Boards of Trade, Congressmen and all bodies with in- fuence with a request to the President of the United States to stop. all immigra- tion tothts country from infected countries during the period of the epidemic. It was the opinion ofthree members of the committee that the President could exercise such power, andit was agreed that a meas- ure of this sort would be the most effective block to the entrance of the disease into this country. At 1:30 o’clock the fourth member of the committee, Dr. H. A. Baker of Michigan, arrived, and the committee then went to work to formulate some sort of a general order, Dr. Baker said he thought the danger of the disease belng carried to this country wasso great thatno time should be lost in taking radical steps to keep itout. He also said in additionto taking stringent measures to prevent the landing of infected persons, ne was in favor of taking some steps to prevent the spread of the disease in this country in case it should reach the coast. He thought there should be some well de- vised system oftraininspection established. DIRE PREDICTIONS. LIEUT. TOTTEN OUT IN ANOTHER WARNING OF DISASTERS TO COME. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 26.—Charles A. L. Totten, U.S. A., late Professor of Military Science in Yale, is out in another warning message, couched, if possible, in more omin- ous terms thanever. He maintains that his calculations are being minutely fulfilled, and that his published system of chronology con- tains nothing but the truth, and that on March 29, 1892, everything conspires to fasten his conviction as to the critical nature of the crisis He s that for fearless statements. The professor says that he is firmly convinced that during the jubilee years 1895-6 A. D., reckoning from the Septem ger the clouds now gather- ing u all sides will culminate. ‘‘This year,’’ he says, ‘‘is the central one of the seven with which Gentile times close.’’ The THE STRIKE ON Revolt of the Buffalo Switchmen Against Sweeney. A New Leader Chosen and the Fight to Be Renewed. THE MOVEMENT 80 FAR FINDS BUT FEW SUPPORTERS, Militia Leaving the Scene—Why Sweeny Declared His Cause Dsfeated—Captur- ing Minersin East Tennessee—Jellico to Be Raided—Troops May Soon Leave Homestead-—Ceur a@’Alene Rioters— Labor News From Other Points. BUFFALO; N. Y., Aug. 26.—There is rebel- lion in the switchmen’s order against Grand Master Sweeney. His authority is denied, and his mandates are not heeded. The men have founda new leader in the parson of Vice-Grand Master Barrett of Chicago, and while Mr. Sweeney nurses his wounds n his hotel and says the strike is off, the men say itisnotand that they will win yet. Theresultsofthe internal dissen- sion were chiefly noticeable last night on the Lackawanna road. When the strike was de- clared on again they quit work and left the yards. Sofaras most of the other roads are concernec the men who went out have been compelled to stay out, their places having been filled. When the strike was declared off the Lackawanna men went to work and manned the engines, but they remained only ashorttime. Last night the engines were idle and for a time this morning it was doubt- fulifthey would be running to-day. The men, however, have decided to go back to their old places, and about 11 o’clock this morning they again went to work. Mr. Barrett this morning declined to be Iin- terviewed, but said that the strike was not off. He has appointed a committee to pre- pare a statement of the exact condition of affairs here and this committee will report to-day. Mr. Barrett said: ‘*I intend to stay he re until uictory is won.’’ Mr. Barrett’s stay under this condition will likely be a protracted one. The roads are all doing full work and can be saidto beina normal condition. The followers of Quinn brothers, who par- ticipated in the personal attack upon Mr. Sweeney, gathered in force and held a secret meeting at which they declared themselves in favor of continuing the strike over his head, and in spite of him. They were reinforced by a number of Lackawanna switchmen anxious to keep up tue fight. The Lackawanna men senta committee tosee Mr, Sweeney, Dut where unable to find him. They then decided to take matters in their own hands and make a fight. This amounts practically to a secession from the order. The first to fallin with this new condition of things were some employes of the Lacka- wanna, of the Nickel Plate and of the Buffalo, Rochester & £Pittsburg. Strikes were ordered on the two lines first named and it. was expected that the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg men would join in. A charge that Mr. Sweeney soid out the men is flying about from mouth to mouth, and Is heard onevery side. AS such reports are wont to do, they took circumstantial form, and even pretendea to say what the sum was which Sweeney was said to have got. These reports showed how _ bitter the _ feel- ing was against him. The truth is, however, that when Mr. Sweeney was in conference with the heads of the other orders on Wednesday he was advised and urged to declare the strike off. He was obdurate, but leaving the conference, he entered the room of Arbitration Commis- sioner Donovan. Donovan urged that the wisest course was to declare the strike off. ‘‘Why, I can yet tie up the Trunk lines from New York to Chicago,’’ protested Mr. Sweeney. He relt he could not give up fora week yet, but he finally aftera long discus- sion said: ‘‘Iknowthe advice you give me is good, and I will act on it; but I’ll get —— for calling it off now. You don’t know these men as I do,’’ said hé to Donovan. ‘Yes, I do,’’ was the reply. From the Commissioner Mr. Sweeney went directly to a conference with Vice-mMaster Barrett, ‘irustee Hutchinson, Local Master Moriarity and some others, At the end of their couference the strike was declared off. Orders forthe movement homeward ofthe troops have been issued. These orders sent away ali but the members of the Fourth Brigade, which numbers about two thousand » Reporte from the camps this morning showed that the night passed uneventful.

OLIVER SPRINGS, Tenn., Aug. 26.—Volun- teers were called for yesterday at Coal Creek by Lieut. Patterson to go to Oliver Springs and try to take this place.

The compromise was suggested by the action of the Kolb and Jones Democrats of Marengo County and is the ground u which both wings of the party may unite. The resolutions adopted yesterday postpones the meeting of the Congressional Convention already called for Sept. 12, to Oct.8. The county primaries to select delegates will be called jointly by the Kolb and Jones County Committees. This action was in the interest of reconciliation and harmony, and in ac- cordance with the views of leading men of both wings in the district. ; Mr. Richard H, Clarke, the present member of Congress from this district and a candi- date for renomination, regards the action of the committee as wise and tending to har- monize the party although it t in ts. mag hg developing a strong antagonist to himself from the ranks of the Alliance Democrats., SPEVENSON’S PROGRAMME.

HE RETURNS, BUT FAILS TOGIVE SATIS- _ FACTORY EXPLANATIONS Who Was the Unknown Man Shot by Gardener Hollins at Sulphur and Macklin Avenues?—Searching for the Marauder’s Body—A Hunt Through the Ravines, But No Success. The young man, Lloyd Ring, who has been missing from his home, 2246 Old Manchester road, for some three or four days past, and who it was reported, was fatally shot Wednesday evening, returned home about 6 o’clock yesterday evening unhurt, greatly to the relief of his very anxious mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Ring, who spent the entire day yesterday scouring the city in search of her missing son. Young Ring was seen by a reporter at his home this morning and bore no signs of hav- ing been engaged ina difficulty of any kind; but from the mother it was learned that the reported shooting had really occurred, though her son had had no connection with the affair. When asked to explain, she made the following statement: *‘‘Lioyd had not been at home since Wednesday evening about 7 o’clock and yesterday morning early one ofthe neigh- bors told me that Mr. Charles Hollins, who owns a vegetable garden arad vineyard near the corner of Sulphur and Macklin avenues, had shot some one while stealing grapes from his vineyard the previous evening about 9 o'clock. Naturally feeling anxious about my son’s absence and not Knowing what mis- chief he had been in, I immediately went up to Mr. Holiin's place and had a talk with Mrs, Hollins. She confirmed the re port of the shooting, stating that Mr. Hol- lins had suddenly rushed into the house Wednesday evening at the hour men- tioned, snatched his shotgun from the rack and hurrying to the vine- yard, had fireda heavy charge of buckshot at some marauders, who were. plainly visible near the lowerendof the vineyard. ‘Il had followed my husband,’ said Mrs. Hol- lins, ‘and at the report of the gun piainly saw one of the men had been hit in the breast. He threw his hands to his breast, exclaiming ‘‘I’m shot, boys—I’m killed— help me—help,’’ and staggered out of the vineyard towardsthe high weeds surround- ing the cultivated portion of our place, the other men having preceded him as fast as they could go, There were three of them, I think,’ **As soon as I learned this,’’ continued Mr. Ring, ‘‘I hurried away and collecting two or three neighbors wemade a hurried search of the vicinity of the vineyard, looking through the high weeds and intothe numerous sink- holes about there, but found notrace of the wounded man except plenty of blood and the trampled weeds. While making the search I was informed by persons living in the vicinity that they heard agonizing groansand moans coming from the bottom of the ravine near the vineyaad at different times during Wednesday night, but no one had ventured to investigate the cause. Mrs. Hollins stated that she was almost positive the man had been fatally shot, as the gun was loaded with a heavy charge of powder and buckshot, and the actions of the Man gave every evidence that he was badly hurt. As you already know, I learned later that the wounded man was notmy son, and no one in this vicinity has been able to get an inkling as tothe identity of the man, though I learned this morningthata woman with three children, living on Macklin ave- nue, just east of Shaw avenue, reports her husband missing since Wednesday evening and she is unable to learn about any of his movements since he left the house that even- ing, to purchase some vegetabies. But no | one seems to Know the woman’s name or her exact residence.’’ The reporter made inquiry all along Mack- lin, east of Shaw, tothe raliroad, but found that there were no missing husbands in that neighborhood. Atthe Cheltenham Police Station Officer Treadway was seen, and he states that the police had done what they could towards investigating the matter, but had yet gieaned nothing to throw any lHght on the identity of the man who was shot. Among others they have uestioned young Ring, onthe supposition that he might have; been one of the arty itn the vineyard during the shoot- ng, but to thelr many searching interrogatories Ring made evasive and very unsatisfactory answer. The officers had also telephoned to the City Hospital about the matter and Dr. Marks had informea them thatnoone bearing shot wounds about the chest or upper ~ had been received at that institution, and in fact but one person had been sent there from the vicinity of Cheltenham during the pagt week, a man by the name of John Collins, who was suffering from delirium tremens. As stated above, about and near the vine- yard, there area number of deep sinkholes, and the theory of many of the people inthe vicinity is that the dead body of ihe unknown wounded man will yet be foundin one of the yet unexplored holes, m EXQUISITE CUT GLASS The Finest Collection in America and at the Lowegt Prices.

A Legal Opinion on the Shooting of | ~ Prank Gray. THE INQUEST ON THE BODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELD HERE. ——————L Marshal Carper Claims Gray Cut Him, But Admits That the Negro Was Running Away When Shot-The Man Was Only Accused of Disturbing the Peace—A Strange Case. Frank Gray, a young negro, 22 years Or age, is lying Gead, stretched out on a rude board in the rear room of 1709 North Second street, where he formerly lived with his sisters. Gray was shot through the body just above the left hip last Sunday morning in Brooklyn, Ill. , by Town Marshal William Carper, who was ex- onerated by a Coroner’s jury yesterday at East St. Louis, where an inquest was held, as was published in yesterday’s PosT- DISPATCH. If the statement of Will Gray, who has the same name but isnot related to the dead man, and that of Emma Gray, the sister of the man killed, are true, Frank Gray was not shot by Marshal Carper in self-defense and the killing was unjustifiable. Will Gray, a colored boy about 20 years old, who lives at 861 Terry street, stated to a Post- DISPATCH reporter this morning that last Saturday night he, Frank Gray, Bob Wade and Emma Gray went to Brooklyn to attend a dance given at Fred Banderberg’s place. THE PEACE DISTURBANCE. Between 5and 6 o’clock Sunday morning they started forthe river landing to catch the ferryboat for St. Louis. Emma Gray, the sister of Frank, was walking some distance ahead of him, and as they turned into a street which he thinks is named Missouri avenue, Frank shouted to his sister to ‘‘hold on’’ and not walk sofast. Marshal Carper was on the street at the time and told Gray if he did not stop he would arrest him, as he was disturb- ing people on their way tochurch, Frank Said: ‘*That’s all right, Bili,’’ and wenton after his sister, Carper follawed and upon coming up with Gray caught hold of him and told him he would arrest him, Frank jerked away and Carper struck him over the back with hisclub. The two men then clinched and after a brief struggle fell to the ground together. Carper, then seeing Gray might get the better of him, pulled his revolver, it is stated, and fireditintheair, at the same time calling forhelp. ~. This frightened Gray and scrambling to his feet he started to run towards the river. Carper fired two more shots in the air, and then seeing Grey might escape fired at him and shot him through the back, it ls claimed, He was taken into a small saloon near by and put on a pool table. BROUGHT TO THIS SIDE. Here an elder sister found him Sunday aft- ernoon, and had him removed across the rivertohis home on North Second street, where he died Wednesday from the effects of the wound, Carper surrendered himself up- on hearing of Gray’s death, and after the in- quest yesterday in East St. Louis he was liberated. yma Gray’s story is substantially the $Ai as that given above. She says she got frightened when the secuffling began and was not noticing whether her brother had a knife or not, but she saw Carper shoot him-when he was running away. Neither one of them saw the Marshal cut. It seems strangetf the fellow was under arrest that the authorities of Brookiyn should have allowed his ststerto bring him across the river to St. Louis. CARPER’S STATEMENT. Marshal Carper’s statement of the circum- stances of the killing, given by him at the inquest which Coroner Woods held yester- day, agrees in most points with the stories the eye-witnesses tell of the affair. The Marshal claimed that. Gray and his compan- lions were makinga great deal of noise on the street early inthe morning, and that he did not attemptto arrest the men until he had requested them several times, to no avail, to Keep quiet. Gray, he said, resisted arrest, and during the scuffle in which he and Gray were fighting on the ground, he fired several shots from his revolver into the air forthe double purpose of frightentng Gray and attracting citizens to thescene, After he got on his feet, he claimed, Gray slashed athim with a knife, cutting a slight gash on the back of his hand, and then started to run. Seeing that the man was about to agcape he again fired into the alr, expecting to halt Gray without bloodshed, but as the fugitive did not stop he fired dil- rectly at him, the bullet striking him inthe back. He disavowed any intention of Killing the man, but claimed that he thought he was doing his duty intrying to prevent Gray’s escape. NO INQUEST HERE. Another remarkable thingabout this case ig that the Coroner of st. Louis held no in- quest on the body, notwithstanding that it is admitted at the Coro- ner’s office that Dr. W. W. Graves, who attended the man, reported his death there. The body was placed in charge of an undertaker and removed to East St. Louis upon the request of the Coroner of that city. The Coroner of St. Louis had no Official in- formation whatever upon which to act, ex- cept the barestatement that the man had been shot across the river and died in St.Louis The law plainly states that the place of the death of the person shall deter- mine the question of jurisdiction as to where the» inquest sball be held. It was the duty of the Coroner of this city to determine first how deceased came to his death, and then upon the proper papers being made out by the preper authorities to permit the body to be removed tothe place ofthe killing to ascertain if any one were criminally liable in connection with it. A prominent st. Louis lawyer and ex- judge, to whom was submitted the facts in the above case, expressed it as his opin- ion that while the shooting of Gray under the circumstances might not be Classed asa deliberate murder, still it was by no means a justifiable shooting and would be a proper case for investigation by the Grand-jury. He also stated that the Coroner of St. Louis should unquestionably have held an inquest on the body, inasmuch as _ the man died here in St. Louis. It was a very irregular proceeding to permit his body to be shipped out of this jurisdic- tion until the cause of the death and the cir- cumstances surrounding it, a8 nearly as possible, were ascertained. AN ILLEGAL REMOVAL. The proper officer to have issued a certifi- cate for the removal of the body of Gray was the Heaith Commissioner and not the Cor- ones, who had absolutely no authority to act n the premises. And besides this, art. 3, chap. 14, sec. 299 of the revised ordinances makes it a misde- meanor, punishable by a fine of not less than 250, ner more than $00, for any person to re- move or assist in removing a dead body out- side the limits of the city, without first hav- ing a certificate to that effect from the office of the Health Commissioner. . The records at the Health Commissioner’s office show that no such certificate was issued in this case. No burial certificate was issued BP. to 3 o’clock this afternoon, and it Is atmentt to see how one can be lawfully issued un 4 the Coroner has complied with his duties and as- certained in the proper Way the cause of Gray’s death, ORE A eee Real Estate lgmrests- The Nicholis-Ritter Real Estate & Financial Co. reports the sale of a #-foot lot on the south side of Delmar avenue Be Acaiaide, a $13 8 foot from John E. ly to dames u an.

The opening of the State Democratic can- Vass was even a greater success than the most sanguine expected. It wasan affair of gigantic proportions and Col. Stone and the other leaders were, in consequence, highly gratified. The illuminations and the demon- stration combined served to bring out one of the largest crowds ever seen on the down-town § streets. The speakers and distinguished leaders from all quarters ofthe State were escorted from the Laclede Hotel by the Young Democracy, the Business Men’s Cluband Democrats of the Western Commercial Travelers’ Association. Music Hall was literally jammed. Every seat was taken and there was no standing room left. Thousands were unable to reach the doors. It was announced that Senators Vest and Cockrell would address an aqyverfiow meeting in the smaller hall on the Fourteenth street’ side. While the crowds were getting to this hall Farmer Dick Dalton addressed another big overfiow meeting from the front steps. Senator Vest,in the small hall, made a ringing address, giving most of his at- tention to the force bill. He denounced the measure and the men who pro- posea it. He next took up the silver and tariff questions, and explained why he did not agree with President Cleveland and other leaders on the coinage of the white metal. He advised his hearers to stand up for Missouri! in the right way by voting for the Democratic ticket. Senator Cockrell also rapped the force bill and took up the other issues as well. Con- cluding his remarks, he said he expected St. Louls to do her share toward the party by giving not less than 3,000 majority. In the big hall President Bernheimer of the Business Men’s Club, ina brief and happily worded speech presented Col. Stone. Five minutes were then taken by the crowd to yell itself hoarse. Standing Up for Missouri. The following is a verbatim report of the more important passages of Col. Stone’s able address: RAILROAD MANAGEMENT. In 1851 there was not a mile of railroad in the State. TheState Government then inaugurated a system for aiding in construction of five great trunk lines by loaning its credit to certain corporations or- ganized for the purpose and engaged inthe work of constructing them. Whether that was a wise policy for the State to enter upon is a question about which the best of us might disagree, in view of the circumstances and the necessities of the State at that time. From my point of view it was unwise, for! have never believed that the state orany municipality should lend itself to the financial advancement of personal or corporate enterprise. But, wise or unwise, the Democratic arty did it and stands responsible forit. But when t loaned the credit of the State it took first mortgage liens on the franchises and all the properties of the corporations tu secure the State against loss. Among the assets of the corporations covered by the mort- gagesto the State were 1,824,434 acres of lands xranted by Congress likewise to aid in the construction of the roads. The aggregate amount of bonds actually issued for which the State became liable under its pledge of credit amounted to $23,701,000, nearly the whole of which bore 6 per cent interest, and were divided in different amounts between the several roads. This was done between 1851 and 1857. The corporations were primarily obligated to pat both the principal and interest as they matured. The State stood sim- ply asasecurity and its liability arose only on the default of the corporations. If such default oc- curred the State was authorized to take possession of the road in arrear and to operate it, or to sellthe property under the mortgage and discharge the debt with the proceeds. So the matter stood whenthe war came. During that turbulent period, and for some months preced- ing and following actual hostilities, the people of this State, in common with those ofthe whole coun- try, were so absorbea with the mighty events then trauspiring that these railroad obligations,and pret- ty much everything eise of that kind, were lost to sight or neglected. Through those years of tarmoil the railroa:‘s failled to pay the interest maturing an- nually. Of course prompt action ought to have been takenat once upon the default of the compa- nies; but possibly the authorities were in some measure excusadle for their delay because of the unsettied conditions existing at that time. After the warthe debt, by reason of the ac- cumulation of interest. had swollen to over $30,000, - 000. Then began that system of skiliful financter- ing, of marvelous manipulation, which at that time brought a scandalon the State anda blush on the cheek of every honest man withinse it, but which Maj. Warner now nopeees asafeatof statesman- ship deserving the highest commendation of the people. What Maj. Warner applauds as praise- worthy we denounce as the climax of public dishon- esty—bold, insolent, criminal dishonesty, in which theft, bribery and perjury all piayeda prominent art. " On Jan. 1, 1868, the debt amounted to $31,735, - 840. The mortgage liens which the State held to secure this vast indebtedness were disposed of and released between 1866 and 1868 by the Republican authorities then in control at Jefferson City, and the direct consideration received by the State forthe sale and release of all the land in all the roads was less than $6,000,000. ‘ihe State had previousiy re- ceived between $400,000 and $500,000 from de- ferred interest paid from profits realized from op- erating one of the roads while in possession of the State and from other sources. The entire amount realized by the State after the war from all sources was $6,131,496, about five and one- half millions only of which was realized as the direct consideration for the saie and release of the liens of the State. This Republican performance, by which the State surrendered liens held to protect it against nearly $32,000,000 of indebtedness in consideration of less than $6,000,000, thereby saddling a debt of more than twenty-five and a haif million on the tax ayers, Maj. Warner gives us to understand was en jonest transaction, above criticism or reproach, deserving of public’ commendation, and one which he hearttiy and openiy indorses, faj. Warner asserts that at the time Gov. Fietcher and his associates disposed of these liens the roads were worn out, poorly equipped and of, little value, and thatit was really a fortunate and splendid financial achievement that the State was enabled to realize as much asitdid. Im his Sedalia speech Maj. Warner said: ‘*The charge that there was fraud or corruption inthe sale (of these roads) rests,as I claim, on assertion, and has no founcation in fact.’’ Well, let us see. The lowest estimate ever put upon the vaine of the roads at the date of these transactions was $35,000,000. In his inaugurai ad- dress, delitered on Jan. 2, 1865, speaking on this very question of the sufficiency of these mortgage securi- ties, Gov. Fletcher said: ‘*They (the roads) are ample security forthe amounts advanced to them respectively.’’ ‘The very fact then that $32,000,000 of mortgages on property worth ata minimum $35,- 000,000, was released and surrendered in considera- tion of less than $6,000,V000, stamps the transaction on ite face with the strongest possible suspicion of fraud. THE PACIFIC DEBT. Rut letus be more specific still and see whether this rests altogether in mere assertion. The Pacific was one of the roads for which the State had become security. On March 31, 1868, the bonded debt of that corporation, for which the State was liable, amounted, principal and interest, to $10,780,000. On that day the Legislature passed and Gov. Fletcher approved a bill by which the State realized its lein to the railroad company in_ consideration of the pay- ment into the State Treasury of $5,100, ‘ . were paid into the Treasury in money, but in State bonds, Maj. Warner says were then. **being hawked about the streets of New York aud sold as low as 51 cents on the dolilar.’’ By this transaction, by the release of this mortgage, the remainder of the debt secured by it, amounting to , 730,000, fell upon the State, to be paid by taxes wrung from the people. Was that an honest tran- section? At that time the property of the company, the mortgage, was worth about A Republican comunittee of the Gen- ‘ of which the Hon. G A. Vinkelnberg, of the most distinguished Republicans of this State, was chairman, on Jan. 31, 1568, just six weeks before this mortgage was released, reported that the property of that road was worth at that time $12,797,479.22. Why then did that page pa pyre . sta od on Governor release a mortgage for a — $12,797,000 for $5,000,000 of y could buy in the edoilar? Let us see in. the United States Louis. by James Lamb . ve the Pacific Railroad Co. This was ove of those periodical civil wars that spring up now and then between railroad corporations, their - stocaholders and bondholders, This particular hight ular suit involved among other things to this transaction by which the State t was Gere to Jef- Legis- Court From that . **Our next mods was to fn persons of such I nave re- wing quo- rT em in our affini ‘4 stand- The r isthe price, the State abatin the claim. it was obtained throug our exertions and appliances at acost to the com- pany or stockholders of $57.313, already paid, and 23 863 to be paid, the whole aggregating $192,- And so it cost the Pacific Railroad Co. $192,176 to secure the passage and approval! of the act releasing $6,780,000 of the company’s obligation, and to au- thorize it to pay the remaining $5,000,000 in bonds which it could buy at5lcents op the dollar. For what purpose was that enormous sum of nearly $200,000 expended at Jefferson City?

But Maj. Warner sees nothing in all this to condemn. It was simply the acceptance ofa happy opportunity, asplendid financial feat, a profitable achievement in practical statesmanship. here was no fraud in it exclaims this immaculate oracle of a **New Missouri;’’ it was only a harmless method of *‘softening down.’’ There was no corruption in it; it just happened tobe ‘‘terribly costly for an ordi- nary job.’ THE IRON MOUNTAIN. But, Mr. Chairman, let me relate another chapter in this interesting history. On Sept. 27, 1866, the bonded debt of the Iron Mountain Railroad Co,, for which the State was liable, amounted to $5.495.570. On thatday the road was sold under the State’s mortgage and bought in for the Stace for the amount of itsdebt. Goy. Fletcher appointed B. G. Farrar, R. W. Watt and Charles S. Rankin Commissioners to take charge of and operate the road for the State. Afterwards, under the authority of an act passed in 1866, these Commissioners advertised the road to be sold on Nov.‘l4of that year, all bids to be subject both to the approval of the Commission@&s and the Governor. he following bids were made: By Samuel P. Dinsmore & Co $1,027, 000 By J. C. Fremont 1,000,000 By A. J. McKay and others... ...-°.... 550,000 The Commissioners awarded the road to A. J. Me- Kay and others on their bid of $550,000, which award was reported tothe Governor and approved by him, This remarkable performance of these high officials of the State was so astounding that it pro- voked a legislative investigation at the next session ofthe General Assembly. The investigating com- mittee appointed by the Speaker was presided over by the Hon. James McGinnis, then as nowa distinguished Republican ieader in this State, That committee madea thorough examination into the sale and award, took a mass of testimony and re- ported its conclusions, which report can be fuund at age 639 of the House journal of the Twenty-fourth veneral Assembly in 1867. The committee reported that Samuel B. Dinsmore and his associates were ready and able to pay the $1,027,000 bid by them for the road, which was nearly double the sum bid by McKay. Mr. Preetorious of St. Louis, agent of J. C, Fremont, testified under oath that Gen. Free- his associates were otent over the Commissioners and the Governor? The committee reported that he was astranger in the Siate, having resided only a few months within its bdérders. According to his own sworn statement his entire property consisted ofa pairof Arkansas mules,an open spring wagon and several thousand dvllars in money, which he said he had never deposited in any bank or exhibited to any person, but had carried around buried in his breeches pocket. But the bid and the award were niade by and to ‘*A. J. McKay and others.’’ Notto McKay alone, butto **"McKavy and others.’’ It was developed that among the ‘ who became interested in the deal, were brothers of Mr. Commissioner Farrar. i wonder what intiuence that had on that spotiess Republican Official when he came to make thataward. When thisaward was submitted to Gov. Fletcher for his approval he held it in abeyance, ina state of painful solicitude and uncertainty as to his high duty. In the midst of nis halting and hesitating, while still agon- izing and sweaiing great drops of blood in his anxiety forthe public weal, Mr. Charles P. Chou- wealthy St. Louis capitalist, appeared bis Excellency and _. »notified him represented a syndicate of New York capitalists who would pay the State $1,100,000 for the lron Mountain Koadif the Governor wouid set aside the award to ‘*‘McKay and others.’ ut the Governor did not set aside the award; he kept on sweating and agonizing. About this time a certain Mr. Hume appeared at Jefferson City. He was one ofthe ‘‘others’’ associated with the redoubtable Mr. McKay. He took $30,0U00 up with him to Jeffer- son City to be used in securing the services of leading Republicans to influence Gov. Fletcherto approve the award. While the Governor was being infiu- enced at Jefferson, McKay and the ‘‘others’’ were at St. Louis negotiating a contract with the Thomas Allen for thetransfer of their to him as soon as the award should be approved. Well, the Governor passed safely through the excruciating process, the torturing ex- perience of being influenced, and with appreciative gratitude proceeded at once to make Mr. Hume and these other ‘‘leading Kepublicans’’ who had sus- tained him so valiantly while on the rack of uncer- tainty and in the sweat-box of doubt, radiant with weil-earned happiness by attaching his approving signature to the award. Then followed in quick suc- cession the transfer by ‘*‘McKay and others”’ of their bid to Mr. Alien under a contract by which they cleared the snug little sum of $375,000. Gov. Fletcher saw the necessity of giving some ex- planation of his remarkabie conduct, and here is what he said: **Dinsmore & Co. and Fremont I have no confi- dence in, but am satisfied thag speculation is their object, and not building the road McKay, Vogel, Kead & Co. have, l believe, the means of building the road. Another consideration with me would be the giving of it to men who belong to the progressive party of the State and are in sympathy with and have the svmpathy of the capital of the country.’’ That isall His Excellency deigned to vouchsafe. It were far better if he had said nothing at all. Mr. Chairman, with all the facts 1 have detailed here Maj. Warner is familiar. They are spread in @extenso On the public records ofthe State. And yet the Major asserts that there was no frand or corrup- tion in allthis. And yet again he stands forth, not to condemn, nor even to apologize for, nor to ex- cuse, but to defend and applaud all this monstrous history. Perhaps he justities the theft, as Fietcher did, because the benificiaries of it ‘*hbelonged to the progressive party of the State.’’. The **progressive party’’ with a *‘new Missouri—a wide open Mis- souri,’’ isthe thing Maj. Warner is clamoring for. If the *‘progressive Missouri’? Maj. Warner how foreshadows is to he a repetition of ‘‘the progressive Missouri’’ Gov. Fletcher repre- sented and Maj. Warner eulogizes, then may the good angels shelter us under their protecting wings from the devastating pestilence of that dark day. Mr. Chairman, time forbid« that 1 should continue the exposition of this particular phase of Missouri Radicalism, aithough the story is not yet half told. 1 would be giad to explain howit was that an act of the Legislature was passed and approved.in 1868 wherety the mortgaxe held by the State onthe properties of the North Missouri Railroad (now the Wabash), valued at several million dollars, to se- cure the State against $6,960,000 was sold aud assigned to Henry T. Blow,a Republican member of Congress from St. Louis, and his associates for the insignificant sum of $200,000. I would be gladto explain how it was thatthe roperties of whatisnow known asthe St. Louis & San Francisco Railway, embracing its Congressional land grants of more than 1,000,000 acres. all of which had been soldand bought in by the State under a mortgage to secure $6,523,770, were abso- lutely donated and givenaway without a farthing’s consideration to certain Republican Statesmen high in the faith and distinguished in the leadership of the ‘‘party of progress.’’ I would be giad togo into allthis, andinto other things connected with this interesting history, which Mai. War- ner defends in public speech and approves in open undisguise. But manifestly I have not now the time to venture into these details farther than I have al- ready gone. I have gone so far into this question because there are thousands of young men,and other thousands who have come recently into the State whoare wholly unfamiliar with this history; and since Maj. Warner has referred to it in general terms and sanctioned it with his indorsement, I deemed it important that all the people of the State should know the exact truth, for honest men have only to know the truth of this history to set its authors, its abettors and its sympathizers in the pillory of an un- forgiving condemnation. * * * Mr. Chairman, I cannot pursue this line of the dis- cussion turther. Ithink Ihave gone far enough to show, first, that Maj. Warner in his desperate eager- ness to tind some substantial ground upon which to attack the Democratic partv in this State has per- verted, suppressed and evaded facts with the object in view of creating faise og 3 Any = and siateadion the people; and, secondly, I have developed a mass of facts in detail sufficient to overwhelm the Radical! party with the charge I inake against it, that in the administration of our State affairs it was both ex- travagant and corrupt. But, sir, that party was not only extravagant and corrupt,it was proscriptive and intolerant. PROSCRIPTION AND INTOLERANCE. Mai. Warner makes complaint that Kepublicans are disfranchised under the new Dill redistricting the State for Congressional purposes. Nobody is disfranchised in Missouri to-day. There is not a Kepublican in the State who does not know that he can approach the polls this fall without any sort ofapprehension and with the absolute assurance that his vote will be received and honestly counted. But let me call to Maj. Warner's elusive inemory a chapterin the history of his party, which will be familiar to him, for he towers high among those who were most conspicuousin it. When the great Civil War between the States was concluded, the ragged veterans of the Confederacy surrendered their swords to the gallant armies of the Union under a ledge that they should return in peace to their hemes and be againclothedin all the immunities and enter again undisturbed upon the discharge of all the high duties of citizenship. As a rule the real, nonpolitical soldiers of the Federa army were always ready and willing to keep that i e; the politicians were not. But let that pass. wili not talk about the Confederate soldiers. When théy entered the army they took upon themselves oho henaré of war. Ifthe politician spat upon the solemn pledge Grant and Sherman, those great cap- tains of tne Federal armies, gave:if the Missouri Confederate, retyrning to his home, found, instead of peace and the prerogatives of citizenship, a men- acing danger lurking in every shadow and a revenge- tul ostracism stalking in the open sunlight, he rarely ever complained. 1 shall not now complain for him. I shall not recall his wrongs to narrow up your souls, I shall notspeax of him. The Confederate soldier may Te t was a border State ana th -orested aye war swept back and forth ec ig plains.

Ihave not repeated the whole of these disqualifying provisions by any. manner of means, but I have repeated enough of them. Before any man could exercise any of these great and inestimable privileges of citizenship, before he could vote, teach or preach he was required by the law totakeasolemn oath that he had read the 4is- ualifying clause of the Constitution. was periectly amiliar with itand that he had neverdoneany of the things therein prohibited, If any person at- tempted to hoid and exercise any of the ‘‘offices ositions, trusts, professions or functions’’ specified n the law, without first taking the oath, he sub- jected himself to a fine of not less tnan $500 and im- risonment in the county jail fora period of not ess than six months; and if he falsely took the oath, that is if it could be shown that he had done some of the pronibited things, he was declared guilty of perjury and subjected himself to indictment and im- prisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not less than two years. Of course under the provisions of this barbarous and inguisitorial statute every ex-Confederate soldier was instantly excluded from any participa- tion whatever in the government of this State, county or municipality. But I said I would not complain on his account. He had slept tn the bivouac, sung love songs onthe march, and stormed with red dripping blade on the oper field. I do not compiain for him, But if some old father, growing whiter about his temples with each passing day, and bending lower beneath the weight of anxieties mul- tiplying, did ever in the twilight about his hearthstone think of his boy walking the lone picket line somewhere in the Southland, with no company except the cold, gleaming stars, and no voice about him save the moaning wind. and, look- ing. saw the old wife and mother sitting silent there, with a tear trembling on her cheek, and if he clasped her to his heart, and knelt with her, and prayed with her to the good God to send some sweet angel with rustling wing to hover about their boy— for thatcrime that old man was dismantled of his citizenship. If, when tnis Southern soldier boy wen: out from the old home tothe battlefield, he left behind him a gentie,. sweet-faced sister, his kisses fresh upon call death had crept in among the snadows ofthe old lawn trees waving in the moonlight, and across the threshold and stolen this sweet child from her mother’sarmsand borne her away; and if theold father had by some covert means sent a letter to his absent boy bearing the sad message of the blight at home—for that crime he was depoiled of the noblest prerogative of the citizen, If, here in Missouri, where the contending armies surged back and forth, afather had met his boy and given him some little trinket prepared by loving hands—had given him an apple plucked from the old orchard under whose flowering umbrage he haa plaved in childhood—for that crime he stood dishon- ored before the law. If some splendid, high-souled Missouri boy, proud of his unif::rm and bearing arms forthe Union, had heard that his brother in his suit of faded gray was moaning and fretting his life away in some army hospital of the South, and he had found meansto send him some message of love and something to tempt the fever away—for that crime he was disfran- chised under the terms of the law If some old man—I have one in mind—who had given all the years of his life to study and teaching, who loved his books and was proud of ‘‘his boys,’’ wany of whom had gone forth into the world equipped under his tutelage—if heonly thought of the soidier boys he had loved in theold days, and prayed for them or wept for them—for thatcrime he was not only disfranchised, but the doors of his school-room were closed and he forbidden to follow his profession. ‘**You take my life When you do take the means whereby I live.’ But worse than any of these, than all of these, perhaps, ifsome old father of the holy faith, his thin locks white with long years of saintly life, had stopped by the wayside to do some Southern warrior akindness for sweet charity’s sake-—to give him shelter, or food or drink—for that he was forbidden ever again tolift his voice for the Master either in warning or exhortation; forbidden to appeal ever again to men fora higher and — and nobler life, or to point them along the pathway ingunting to the stars.

The court said: **The oath prescribed by the Constitution, divided into its separable parts, embraces more than thirty distinct affirmations or tests. Some of the acts against which it is directed constitute offenses of the highest grade. to which, upon conviction, heavy penalties are attached. Some of the acts have never been classed as offenses in the laws of any State, and some of the acts. under many circumstances, would not even be blame worthy. **The oath thus required is, forits severity, with- outany precedent that wecan discover. In the first lace, it is retrospective; 1s embraces all the past rom this day, and, if taken years hence, it will also cover ail the intervening period. Inits retrospec- tive feature we believe it is peculiar to this country. In England and France there have been test oaths. but they were aiways limited to an affirmation of present belief or present disposition towards the Government, and. were never exacted with refer- ence to particular instances of past misconduct. In the second place, the oat is directed merely against overt and ~—visibie acts hostility to the Government, but is intended to reach words, desires and sympathies also. And in the third place it. allows no distinction between acts springing from malignant enmity and acts which may have been prompted by charity, or affection or re- lationship. If one has ever expressed sympathy with any who were drawn into the Rebellion, even if the recipients of that sympathy were connected by the closest ties of blood, he is as unable to subscribe to the vath as the most active and the most cruel of the rebels, and is equally debarred from the offices of honor or trust, and the positions and employments specified. ’’ Such was the stern judicial denunciation of this barbarous and wicked law by the highest court in the Republic. The State court was directed ‘‘to discharge the defendant from imprisonment, and suffer him to depart without day.’’ Thus at last the prison door swung open, the sunlight feli athwart the dungeon, an this man of God walked forth, free once more to do his part in lifting the world up and making men better therein. NOT ANCIENT HISTORY. Mr. Chairman, Ihave not been reciting ancient history nor foreign history; Itis both modern and domestic, Itis not of Poland’s sad, pathetic story I have been speaking. These are not sorrows that come sobbing outof the midnight which has hung stariess for 700 years above the Emerald Isle: These are not stories borneon the shivering winds blown down from that mighty despotism in Northern Eu- rope, where mena a huntea like wild beasts and driven like catti6 into hopeless exile. have been telling you simply of what curred here in Missouri only twenty years ago, when the Republican party was tri- umphant in this State and when the laws it put upon the statute books were being enforced by the officers of itsown choosing. I have been speaking A the same period in our history to which Maj. Warner re- ferred, and of the same political party whose achievements Maj. Warner applaudea. I thought, since the Major had invited comparison and indulged in hiatorieal reminiscence, the young inen of the State should knew something more of the past than he seemed disposed to yive them. I thought I would simply tear the veil away and letali the ghostly | skeletons out. Turning now, Mr. Chairman, from this long record of extravagance, corruption and proscription of the Republican party when ion power, I desire to ask Maj. Warner what part he. has sustained, his party has sustained, State since their overthrow twenty yearsago. The bemocratic. party was restored to power in 1873. Maj. Warner says Missouri has been poorly gov- erned since then—that it has been dominated by influences calculated to retard stead of advancing the growth State. But if that be true, which what part has Maj. "Warner and his party played in this long history of sloth and stagnation? ‘ertainly during ali this period the Wemocratic party is unquestionably responsible for the conduct of ublic affairs, but Maj. Warner and his confreres ave been citizens of the State: they have mauaged to remain here in spite of accumulating discourage- ments; the Major himself, with the green hills of Wyandotte in sight, has not gone te share in the bounding prosperity of Kansas, but has hung like a fading flowerto che dead walls of Kansas City. Col. Dick Kerens, instead of stretching himself like a veritable Goliath in Crioage. spread out there be- fore his very eyes, has continued to limp dwarfish along the silent streets of St. Louis; now, being here, what have they done as good citizens to lift the State up and advance her standard along the path- way of progress? What has the Republican party —— oce- For all these I do speak to-day. Their wrongs come back to hauntand accuse that old intolerant Radicalism whichin the day ofits power made love a crime and of justice a mockery. exaggerate? Every man who lived in Missouri twenty years agoand was familiar with the Drake Constitution andthe force bills enacted under it, knows I speak with moderation. REGISTRATION. Under these laws the Governor appointed a Super- intendent of Registration for each Senatorial l)is- trict That official was empowered to appoint three registrars for each county in the districtto whom was committed the despotic power of deciding arbitrarily who should exercise the sovereign right of the suf- frage.

They clungio power with desperate tenacity and relinguished their hold upon it breathing curses against the Stafe.

One wasan irresponsible, peripa- tetic jacKkanapes without a job, and without any definite habitation. One was a solemn-visaged Ccharlatan, who clothed his villainy in a cier- ical garb, spent six days each week in purging the Missouri ballot-box of treason, and the Sabbath he gave te the pleasures of his home at Fort Scott, Kan., which he shared with a negro wife. One of the three did hibernate in Vernon County, but ought to have heenin the penitentiary. Such were the lordly cattle put over the people, clothed with extraordinary powers, and used by the radical party as base instruments to perpetuate its reign: and back of them and above them was the Kodman Ke- turning Board at Jefferson City, a sort of imperial tribunal where the king himself sat in star chamber, and unto whom office thieves went often when ree pudiated by the people. and rarely went in vain. Icould recount instances of monstrous outrages I have witnessed myself, and they werelegion. I could tell some stories of wrong done our people that would challenge credulity in this day and gen- eration. Buti need notdo that, forthere are many conspicuous instances, whose authenticity cannot be questioned, for they are set forever as enduring monuments in the judicial history of the State. GEN. BLAIR DISFRANCiISED. Francis P. Blair, whose statue stands atthe gate- way to Forest Park, was perhaps the grandest man Missouri gave to the Union in the turbulent davs of the Civil War. He won a great name, both as soldier and statesinan, and dying leftit asa precious heri- tage to the children of the State. He returned from the war a Major-General, and with imperishable honors plucked from perilous flelds clustering about him. In November, 1865, there was an election in the City of St. Louis. Gen. Blair went to the polls te vote. He was willing to take any oath ledging loyalty to the Government and fealty tothe ag; buthe would not take the oath prescribed by the Drake Constitution. He was human, as ali really great men are, He had a human heart and human sympathies. In the Confederacy. among those who had opposed him were many very close to him by the ties of blood and friendship, and he would not swear that he never sympathized with anv of them, or that he had never aided or comforted any of themin their hour of distress. And because he would not take that oath his ballot was rejected. And so this great Democratic General, who, to save the Union, had stormed like some fury incarnate in the wild whirlwind of war, was disfranchised because his lion heart beat a Itttle softer sometimes when he thought of those he loved. but against whom his sword was lifted. He brought suit against the Judges for rejecting his Dallot—charging that the proscriptive law under which they acted was in con- travention of the American bill of rights. The elec- tion Judges demurred to his petition ou the ground that it did not state any cause of action, and both the Cirenit and State Supreme Court sustained the de- murrer and dismissed Gen. Blair’s petition without a hearing. FATHER CUMMINGS’ CASE. Mr. Chairman, I might goon indefinitely, almost ad infinitum, calling up these cases of political persecution, which areapartof the history ofthe State. The reports of the Supreme Court from 1865 to 1874 are full of them. There were a half dozen or more cases pending at oneterm of that court in 1867 —indictments of lawyers, teachers and preach- ers for the crime of practicing their several profes- sions without first having taken the so-called *‘oath of sig byw & ’ Sir, Icould recite some harrowing sto- ries of bitter wrong, of unrelenting persecution. I could tell you how one young man, only 12 years old when the war began, the s0n of a widow, was disfranchised because he had an uncle in the Con- rederate army, for whom he acknowledged, on being examined, he would have sympathized if he had been in trouble. [could tell you how a young girl, whose father had been killed in the Confederate army, and who alone supported her invalid mother, wasindicted for the crime of teaching school, convicted and imprisoned. I could tell you how a priest was dragged from his pulpit and mur- dered in cold blood simp! for preaching the word of od. could fill a volume with these horrible stories. ButIwil! refer in detail to but one additional case. It wili illustrate how even those whose lives were consecrated to the sacred work of bearing the Lord’s holy gospels, with their messages of peace and love and hope, through- out the world, were followed with cution as savage and intolerant as our civilization. Mr, Jo Catholic aspirit of perse- ever dishonored court in embem 1 arfimed the judgment of the Circuit Court, held the convic- tion lawful and sustained the law under which it was obtained.

They have heralded it abroad with trumpets loud blown and ceaseless, that our people are harsh, narrow, bigoted, unhospitable, fossilized, nonpro- wressive. hey have denounced the State asthe **Robber State,’’ as being ‘‘in league with bandits,’’ as ‘’Poor Ola Missouri,’ and by a-hundred other in- sulting and degrading epithets. Six years ago, in 1884, at a state Convention of the Republican party, of which Maj. Warner was a member, and in the deliberations of which he bore an im- portant part, a resolution was adopted de- nouncing the Democratic ay b then in control of the state Government, under the administratiop,of adistinguisned Federal soldier, ‘‘for its alliance with and protection of notorious and confessed ban- ditti whose presence in Missouri has driven immi- gration from its borders and Capital fram its indus- tries.’’ Only the other day the Kansas City Journal gave among other reasons why the gallant Major should be chosen as our. next Chief Fxecutive, this one—that his election would be at once an assurance thatany man from anywhere could go about this State, even to @lections, without the fear of having his ribs filled with buckshot tired hy some Democratic assassinin ambush. Maj. Warner, him- self. in his Sedalia speech, which has been widely published by the Kepublican press. comparing Iili- nois with Missouri, creatly to the disparagement of his own State, asserted thet the inferiority of Mis- souri t> Illinois *‘will be found in the repelling in- fluences exercised by the dominant party here upon immigration and capital. * * * This statement cannot be suecessfuiiy controverted. The citizen coming to. Hiinois seeking a home, whether from Massachusetts or South Carolina, New York or Virginia, Ohio or Kentucky, is not regarded as an interloper, nor is. he branded as a carpet-bagger.”’ How dare Maj. Warner address such language as that.to Missourians in the | hearing ofall the world? How dare he assert by direetion or indirection,by open statement or covert inference, thatany honest man coming to Missouri from any State in this Union to seek ahome will be regarded or treated as ao interloper or carpet-bag- ger, or will be in anywise ostracized, misused or discriminated against? What warrant has he for a calumny so base as that? In what county or city or hamlet in Missouri is that sort of thing done or per- mitted? ls it here in St. Louis? Is it in Jackson? Is it in Buchanan? I want to know where it is. Of course, there is no such lace anywhere in this broad State. Of course you now as does Maj. Warner, that in no land under the sun is there a braver, more hospitable, kindly, moral, intelligent or enterprising people than those who fnhabitthe sunny slopes and fecund plains of this great State. The vast population of the State, comprising near 3,000,000 souls, is composed of enormous contributions from every section of the Unien and from almost every Country in Europe, and no honest man can say he is ever dis- criminated azainst in this day and generation because of his nativity, his politics or his religion. Maj. Warner knows this as well. fullas well, as you and J, and yet to subserve partisan ends and to advance his vauiting ambition = levels his reckless, Monstrous and ma- lignant invectives againstthe State and the people of Missouri. His speech is replete with bitter, rasp- ing gibes and denunciations like that I have quoted, and farfetcheda and strained comparisons made to the aiscredit of the State.

In his Sedalia speech, by juggling with figures and talking about per cents, Maj. Warner sought to create the impression that Missourl had fallen far behind in the matter of immigrationand in the in- crease of wealth. In the first place Mr. Chairman mere percents of increase are always misleading. They are never criterions for comparison. For in- stance, take the increase of population in the States of Missouri and Kansas between 1860 and I870. In 1860 Kansas had a total population of only 107,105; im 1870 she ha 364,399. The actual in- crease was 257,193 people, and the per cent of increase was 2380.91. Now in 1860 Missouri had a total Dogar atee of 1,182,012; in 1870 she had 1,721, 295. he actual increase was and | in the history of the | 539,233 people, butthe per ceat of increase was only 45.62. During the decade more than twice as | many people came to Missouri as went to Kansas, but the per cent of increase in Kansas was more than | five times as great as thatin Missouri. In the second place it is never fairto compare the growth of a new State with anold one. ‘lake Kan- sas and Missouri again for illustration Twenty | years ago—even ten years ago—half the State of Kan- sas lay out a vast unoccupied waste, stretching away to the sunset. This great area was composed of pub- lic lands belonging to the United States. Under the public land laws alinost any citizen could enter upon these lands and take 160 acres as a homestead, and another 160 acres under the pre-emption law. This land he could obtain title to by occupancy, and by the outlay of a very small sum of money. This wasa great in- ducement to immigration. Missouri puloyed no sich advantages as that. In 1870 there were scarcely any public lands in Missouri worth the having. Maj. Warner says there are still more than 1,000,000 acres of public lands in Missouri now subject to entry. whicn he affirms is one-third more than there is now left in the State of Kansas. Thatistrue. But Maj. Warner knows perfectly well that these are rough hill and mountain lands, wholly unfitted to agriculture; and Maj. Warner knows there are no such hills and mountains in Kansas, Iowa or Illinois as we have herein Missouri. I as- sert, withoutfear of contradiction, thatthe United Statesdonot ownten acres of arable landin this State. If so, whereisthe land? No, sir, the title to all lands of any substantial vainuein this State had posens from the Government to private holdings be- ore 1870. There were no iands here open to home- stead or pre-emption, Those who obtained them were compelled to buythem. This fact very natur- ally took inany people across Missouri to Kansas and other Western States. For reasons suchas these, | say itis unfair to compare the growth of Missouri, at least by per cents, tothe neW and wholly unde- veces public land States lying to the west of er. In the third place it is rarely ever fair, but itis usually mi-leading, to eouepers the growth of any single State at different periods of its own develop- ment. Maj. Warner compares, the period from 1865 to 1871 with the corresponding period immediately succeeding. But he does not call attention to the fact that the period he applauds was the one just following the war, when great armies were being disbanded, when the whole country was in a state of moving unrest, when the volume of money out- standing was greater than ever before in our history; when values of ail kinds were exaggerated anit when the spirit of speculative investment was as daring as it was universal. When the Democrats came into power in 1873, eight years of peace had intervened. The frothing and effervescing of speculation and adventure had passed. John Sherman and his coadjutors had been mercilessly pressing their financial policy of con- traction. Specie payment had been resumed. The great, disastrous panic of 1873 was upon us, before which the most colossal fortunes were wrecked, and values were given tothe winds. Immigration, busi- ness, development—everything, was checked by the tremendous strain upon the country. From that time forth, throughout the country, progress and development advanced with slower, steadier and more conservative step. But through all these years, despite Republican obstruction in the State, icenask has kept pace with the other States of the West. IMMIGHATION. I have recently examined census bulietin No,16 dat- ed Dec. 12,1890. From this official document I have complied the following table, showing first, t pop- ulation in seven leading Western States both in 1850 and 1890, and second, showing the increase in each State during the decade, both in actual numbers and by percent: STATES. 1880. increase.

Per cents cut very little figure, andI have given themin thetabieoniy toshow how deceptive and misleading they are. During the last decennial period 53,852 more neo- ple came to Missouri than went to Michigan, 79,804 more came to Missouri than went to Kansas, 129,421 'more came to Missouri than went to Wisconsin, / and | this Ng hay gzrowth of the city of Chicago. | tome, M 223,623 more came}o0 Missouri than went to lowa, 296,701 more came to Missouri than went Indiana, The superiority of Iilinois in respect is due almost wholly to the It seems r. Chairman, that these statistics put Mis- sourl pretty well up towards the front so far as im- migration is concerned. I see nothingin all this for the Republican States to boast of, or for the ‘*Bour- to } bon Democracy’’ of Missouri to biush for. | | a a On | ' the WEALTH INCREASE, I have, also, recently examined census bulletin No. 192, dated June 4, 1892, ‘his document re- lates to the increase of wealth in the several States, as shown by their assessed valuations. From the Official data there given 1 discover that the valua- tions increased in certain Western states in 1890 over 1550, as follows: Indiana increased $118,572.- 517, lowa increased $132,023,450, Wisconsin in- creased $153,918,968, Kansas increased $187,568.- . Missouri increased $253,584,952, Illinois de- creased $59. 142. Thus it will be seen that dur- ing the decennial} period the increase in the vaiua- tions of Missouri exceeded that of Kansas by $43,- 046,697,exceeded that of Wisconsin by $99.655, 984, exceeded that of lowa by $121.661,202. xceeded shat of Indiana by $134,712,435, and exceeded that of [Illinois by $312,785,094. se it appears that in matter of wealth increase ‘‘poor o)} taken Bourbon Democratic Missouri’? hes _the very front rank amongall these Statesin the census report ofthe Uniteu States, being now com- sles officials of Benjamin Harrison’s a pointing. jaj. Warner need not vex his mighty soul with th» erplexing mysteries of percents, in his mad ef- ort todisclose something tothe discredit of his State. Here are statistics easily accessible, plain and comprehensive, whicn] commend to him, I beg him touse such as these, and try to say some- thing just once in his life to the creditand the honor of his State.

Its assessed valuation, now aggregating more than $900,000,000, is nearly double what it was in 15872. Over four thousand niles of railroads have been constructed and thrown out like a vast spider’s web spread onthe bosom of the State. Behold the enormous area of coal lands that have been developed, os mines asriclin treasure as those that lit up the caverns of the fabled Golconda. Go into Southeast Missouri and into Southwest Missouri and behold the thousands tolling there in the lead amd zinc mines and smelters of the State. Nearly one-third of the zinc product of the United States is now produced in the zinc mines of Missouri, and yet twenty years ago searcely a pound of this valuable metal was either mined or reduced. Kut, Mr. Chairman, I need mot go into the mines, quarries, forests and fields of the State and bring all their bewildering statistics here to establish the fact of our tremendous development. need not go beyond the corporate) limits of this imperial city. Who can gf0 to South St. Louis, to North St. Louis—anywhere in this great metropolis—and not feel thie great heart of progress throb and hear its music in the air? Why need Maj. Warner go beyond the confines of that noble city where he lives, whnichin these twenty years has grown from ariver landing toa metropolitan city of 200,000 people, instinct with pulsing life, indomitable energy and analm@st un- precedented development, and a development, too, which has grown up in spite of Maj. Warner on Mis-' souri soil on the verv border of Kansas, whosejpeople the patriotic Major would haveus believe are samuch | enterprising | Mr. Chairman, as well had I junder- | broader-minded, oOpen-hearted and than our own? take to prove to you thatthe sun shines at mid-day as to prove to you ortoany Missovfian who) really loves his State that it has gone forward, ana is now going forward, with lusty and lordly step. I will not atteinpt to prove a fact so self-evident as that, BONDED DEBT. | Iturn from this to the consideration of some achievements of the Democratic party in the prac- tical affairs of the State since its ascendency/in the Government. When that party was elevated to power in 1873 the bouded debt of the State amounted to $21,786,000. That was in the main the remnant of the old railroad bond debt imposed upon the people by reason of the erga mis- Inanagementof the Kepublican party, as have heretofore fully explained. | Maj. Warner states that at the close of the war the Republicans, thenin power, founda State debt ag- regating about $36,000,000. That is true, but §32°000,000 of that consisted of guaranteed railroad bonds secured by mortgages on the properties of the corporations. He further states with a great blowing of trumpets that between 1865 and 1871 the Republican administrations then in power paid off about $14,500.U000 of that debt. He congratu- lates himself and his party upon that achievement as a henomenal financial feat. Un the con- trary, Mr. Chairman, it was anachievement which deserved positive condemnation in many of its aspects, because of the means employed to bring it about, and in no view of the case doesit merit any especial comendation. How was the reduction made? Inthe first place soon afterthe war, the United States paid into the State Treasury over $6,- 000, to reimburse the State for moneys ex- vsended in the prosecution ofthe war. Of this sum 54,863.924 was applied to the reduction of the State debt. Again 1 have heretofore shown that over $6,- C00,000 was realized from the sale of the railroads, back interest paid, etc. Ofthissum $6,006,033 were applied to the reduction of the debt. Again, the State at thattime heidalarge amount of Stock in the State Bank of Missouri, During Gov. Fr letcher’s administration that stock was sold and of the it eg arising there- from, $1,178,635 were applieu to the reduction of the State debt. Again, $740,285 belonging to the school fund was unlawiully misused and diverted to the payment of the public debt, greatly to the detri- ment of the public schools of the State. These sev- eral sums aggregate $12,788,882. In that way that amount of the public debt was paid. The remainder of the reduction, of which Maj. Warner boasts, was accomplished by levying and collecting a state in- terest tax of 40 cents onthe $100 valuation, which added to the revenue tax aggregate! a tofai tax levied on a people, the majority of whom were dis- franchised, of 65 cents on the $100 valuation. And here, Mr. Chairman, I am content to leaye Maj. Warner’s boasted reduction of the public debt. As Ihave already stated, on n. 1, 1873, the bonded debt of the State amounted to $21,768,000. That debt then bore.interest at the rate of 6 and 7 percent. To-day the bonded debt amounts to $0,- 530,000, which shows a reduetion since 1873, amounting to $14,938,000. Of the debt now out- standing 1,380,000 bears 6 per cent and $5,450,000 bears 3g percent interest. Negotiations are now being conducted with a view to refunding the 6 per cent bonds into 3 per cents. This really praise- worthy achievement has been wrvuught, not by any fraud or trick, or infringement of the law, but by a rigid economy in administration and legitimate methods in financiering. STATE CREDIT. Maj. Warner aad the Republican press have much to say aboutimproving ihe credit of tie State by the election of a Republican a:iministration. [et us see about that. In his Sedalia speech Maj. Warner spoke Ofour State bonds being hawked about the streets of New York at 51 cents on the dollar; near the close of his administration Gov. Brown, ina message to the General Assembly, referred to the State bondsas then possessing a market vaiue of 87 cents on thedollar. ‘These 6 and 7 per cent bonds, which sold in Fletcher's time for 51 cents, and in Brown's timefor 87 cents, have been nearly ail ex- changed for bonds bearing 324 per cent, and these low interest bearing securities sell to-day above par in all the markets of the worid. lt woutd seem. therefore, that the credit of Missouri is in a state of robust and blooming heaith, and can stand alone without the supporting hand of a Republican ad- ministration. TAXATION REDUCED. When the Republican party surrendered the Gov- ernment of this State in January, 1871, the rate of taxation then being levied for all State purposes amounted to 50 cents on each $100 vaiuation. The rate of taxation has been since reduced from time to time until the amount now being leviud forall State purposes amounts to only 25 cents on the $100 valua- tion. If you will examine your tax receipts this fall you wili see that the entire sum paid by you to the State will be only 25 cents on the $100. , what disposition is made of that tax afterit is collected ? First, 10 cents of the 26 cents is set apart and paid into the sinking fund. ‘That fund is provided forthe urpose of paying the interest on the State debt, as t matures, an! also to raise a fund totake uh and retire at least $250,000 of the principal of the bonds from year to year. Secondly, 5 cents of the 25- cent tax isset apartand paid into the public school fund of thé State wherewith to increase and amplify the means for educating our children, That leaves oniy 10 cents out of the 25 cents levied, and that is paid into the revenue fund of the State. Now, out of that small tax of 10 cents on the $100 valuation, equivalent to $1 on the $1,000, the entire current expenses of the State Government are met and promptly paid. . WHAT IS MEANT. What do I mean by that? I mean that we pay. me The salaries of all the executive officers of the tate. 2. The salaries of ali the Circuit, Criminal peal and Supreme Court Judgesinthe State. oo 3.

During these twenty years 1,000,000 people have been added to our Aah tion; our educational and eleeinosynary institutions have quadrupled in number, and the number of ate tendants and inmates atthese institutions have in- creased in an equal ratio: the number of inmates of the Penitentiary is double what it was in 1870, showing that a much larger number of people have been prosecuted in the courts, J)uring these twen rere we have erected the Supreme Court an ibrary building; we have added two large wings to the Capital, making ita commodious and imposin structure; we have largely increasea the capacity o the Penitentiarv; we have rebuilt the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, destroyed by fire, on a grander scale than before; we have erected the Lunatic Asylum at St. Joseph, ana, after its destruction by fire, bave rebuilt and equipped it: we have erected and furnished the Lunatic at Nevada, which is one of the School for Boys at Boonville; we have erected and furnished the Industrial Home for Girls at Chilli- cothe; we have erected, furnished and oqalppea three splendid norma! schoo! buildings at Kirksville, Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau; we have erected furnished and equipped the School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rolla, apa ig to be perhaps the fin- est institution of itskinU in the West; we have erected, furnished and equipped two large and com- moudious wings to the university, and now that thas great building has fallen before the flames we are atin it up again ona larger and grander scale than efore. During these twenty, years we have also built up @ public school fund, both State and coupty, which stands without a rival in all the States of the Union with the singie exception of Texas, and the sc i fund of Texas exceeds ours only by virtue of t fact that the public lands in that State belong to the State underthe terms of the treaty by which it was admitted into the Union, and a lerge part of the proe- ceeds of the sale of those lands under local laws are paid into the school fund. The public landsin Mis- sourl belonged to the United Status, and the pro- ceeds of their disposition were for the most ron intotne Federal Treasury. Our public ool und has been built up almost wholly from voluntary contributioas made in the form of taxation by a gene- erous, eulightened and patriotic people. During these twenty years we have also met and promptly paid the interest on our public pind mg matured, and have paid off and retired two-thirds the principal, and have nearly doubled the value our securities in the markets of the world. All these’ things and many more we have successfully achieved and are now achieving, not by increasing the bur- den of taxation, but by constantiv reducing it il to-day the tax rate sevied upon the property in e State is only one-half whatit was when the people, patient and long suffertmg, rose in their wrath twenty years ago and lashed the plunderers from their places of power. Mr. Chairman, I have examineda table recently, prepared from authentic data, showing th regate per capita tax paid in a large number of the most importent States stretching from Maine to Colorado. The amount paid in these States varies from $13. per capita in Massachusetts, which is the highest, to $4.74 in Missouri, which is the lowest. Next to Missouri ranks Minnesota, with a per capita tex of $5.47. These are some of the beneficient regu brought to the people of this State as the rich of Democratic policy aod administration—chara terized always by wisdom, fidelity’ and econom: It is because of these things aj. Warner, the Glob: Democrat, the Kansas COity Journal and the lican party have denounced the State as the ‘*Rol ber State,’’ as **Poor Vid Missouri’’ and her peop as being slothfal, inhospitable, nonprogressive **in league with bandits.’’ It is because of these things Maj. Warner rails against the State and cries out with boisterous vociferation fora **New Mis- sourl.’’ But.sir, if experience really be a lamp to guide our feet and if the people have not lost wits they will continue to abide with that old con- stitutional party which has served them so faith- fullv and so successfully. When Col. Stone concluded Gov. Francis and ‘*Farmer’’ Dalton made brief addresses, WITH the return of warmer weather comes the necessity of freshair and recreation. The St. Louls &Suburban cars are running from Sixth and Locust to Wells every two minutes, and to Normandy and Ramona every fifteen minutes. This is the pleage antest way for visitors to see the pretties$ sections of the city and county.

It is the people’s contribution towards Demo- Cratic success. It nationalizes and popu- larizes the Democratic cause. Is that cause worthy? Wil you help? THE METHODIST CHURCH. Statistics of the Organization Gathered by the Census Bureau. WaSHINGTON, D. C,, Aug. 26.—Ihe Sensus Bureau has issued a bulletin giving statistics of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. The bulletin shows that the church has 102 annual conferences, not in- cluding ten Or more in foreign countries. Connected with these conferences are 2,240,354 communicants. This includes both members and probationers,the latter being candidates for full membership, North of Mason and Dixon’s line the Methodist Episcopal Church has organizations in nearly every county. Though represented in every State it Is not so strong inthe South as its sister body, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the sta- tistics of which will be givenin a forthcom- ing bulletin. Orthe 2,790 counties in the States and Territories the Methodist Episco- pet Church Is represented in all save 585. It as 25,861 organizations, with 22,844 churches, with a seating capacity of 6,302,708 and an aggregate valuation of $96,723,408. This valu- ation, which does notinclude parsonages and other church property, is the largest re- ported by any denomination so far except the Roman Catholic. SUNDAY-SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.

Loxpon, Aug, 26.—The election at New- castle-on- Tyne yesterday resulted in the re- turn of the Rt. Hon. John Morley, Chief Sec- retary of Ireland, whose seat for Newcastle in the House of Commons became vacant upon his taking office. Inthe general elec- tion he received 10,905 votes, but yesterday he received 12,983 votes. Mr. Morley was opposed by Mr. Pandell Ralli, Liberal Unionist. He received 11,24 votes, making Mr. Morley’s majority 1,739. Mr. Hammond, Conservative, who was one of the successful candidates at the general election, Newcastie, returning two members, received 13,824 votes and yesterday’s result shows a very decided falling off in the Con- servative strength. The Ameer bas written a letter to the In- dian Government, in which he says that the administration of the external affairsof his country is in the hands of the British, and he asks what course he {s to pursue, as he can’t endure a continuation of the hostile action of Russia, LOOKING FOR A PREMIER. THE FALL OF THE HOULTANG MINISTRY IN NORTHWEST TERRITORY. REGINA, Northwest Territory, Aug. 26.— There is much excitementin Calcary over the defeat of tho Houltang Government. Betts of Prince Albert made a vigorous attack on the Government on the ground that rep- resentation in the Cabinet had not been given to the Saskatchewan District, as promised. He concluded his speech by moving the amendment that the House had no conf- dence in the Government. Along and bitter debate followed, nearly all the members speaking. Expression was given to the be- Hef that the school question was at the bot- tom of the conspiracy to defeat the Govern- ment, it being hinted that if Houltang had been favorable to separate schools he could have remained in power. The division was then taken and resulted in the Government’s defeat bya vote of 12to13. Betts and Dr. Brett, the former Premier, were the leaders of the attack. On Houltang’s motion the House ad- journed. Itis now expected that the Gov- ernment will resign. The principal factor in working the down- fall of the Government was ,.Dr. Brett of Banff, who was for a short time Premier when the territorial government was first formed. Brettis well Known in the United States, where he lived for atime. He will also be remembered as having been the partner of McGarigle when that well-known Chicagoan was in exile at Banff. MecGarigle virtually forced Brett into the Northwest As- sembly. He prosecuted an active canvass for him and succeeded in getting Brett elected. Gov. Royal first called on Brett to form a Government, but the members of the Legislatures, led by Houltang, the Premier who has just been defeated, attacked’ Brett’s government sv persistently that he was finally driven from office. This Brett has never forgiven and he has now secured his revenge. It is probable that he will be called upon to form a gzov- ernment now. It is peculiarly unfortunate that the crisis should have arisen at this stage of the session as the estimates had just been brought down anc it was expected that the assembly would prorogue next Saturday. Public business which is urgent will now be seriously delayed as Gov. Royal wili no doubt find it difficult to establish a government even should Brett be willing to take hold, SALT & SONS. DEPRESSED TRADE COMPELLS THE FAMOUS FACTORY TO CLOSE DOWN. Lonpon, Aug. 2.—A meeting has been summoned of the shareholders in the com- pany of Salt & Sons, owners of the famous factories at Saltaire on the River Aire, about three miles from Bradford. Saltaire is known asthe model village, the late Sir Titus Salt having established there homes for his op- eratives with surroundings according to the most improved and progressive plans. The business of the company has of late become so depressed thatit is seriously proposed to wind it up. The company isa Umited one and was formed in 1881, with a cap- ital of £1,200,000, to conduct the busi- ness of the late Sir Titus Salt. The late losses of the company afe attributed to the McKinley bill, which has deprived the company of a considerable market in America, The assets of the concern are valued atupwards of £250,000 beyond lia- bilities. The trade HUabilities are about £200,000. The firm formerly manufactured altogether alpacas and worsted, but ofrecent years has chiefly manufactured plush goods, Since the McKinley law went into operation the business has been reduced to a tenth of its former magnitude, The concern once em- ployed 4,000 operatives and visitors from all parts of the worid were pointed with pride to the model town of Sir Titus Salt. The news of the condition of the company has caused a widespread sensation in trade circles. FRANCE AND RUSSIA, INCIDENT SHOWING FRIENDLY FEELING BE- TWEEN THE NATIONS, ST.

He drove my mother to the mad-hcuse and finally to suicide; debauched my oldest sister some years ago and only three weeks ago at- tempted a brutal assault on my youngest sis- ter, Bertha, whois only 16 yearsof age. My mother wasa good woman and endeavored to rear us children decently, but father was mean to her, and six years ago had her con- fined in the St. Louls Insane Asylum, Iwill admit that she had nearly lost her reason, but she was driven mad, and was compelled to remain in the asylum five years, and has been liberated not quite two years, AWFUL ALLEGATIONS. ‘“*While my mother suffered tn durance vile my father continually debauched my old- est sister, Minnie, who was then only 16 years of age, and he continued to debauch her until mother was released from the asylum. Now that mother has committed suicide, he fs going to ruin my second sister, Bertha, and I want to protect her and try to care for her myself.’’ After he hada finished his story, Assistant Chief Reedy, who had patd strict attention, asked him why he had not made acomplaint before.

THE SON’S FEARS. ‘*Oh, we all knewit, andthree weeks ago my little sister, Ida, who is only 7 years old, told me that father tried to accomplish Bertha’s ruin just the same ashe did Min- nie’s, and I have determined to have some- thing done, but I would rathernot have father know that I hadcalledatthe Four Courts until*he has been arrested, for I hardly know what he would doto me,’’ Assistant Chief Reedy informed young Tempiin that be would have to bring his Sisters to his office as witnesses before any definite steps could be taken ora warrant issued.

HIS DAUGHTER BADE HIM FAREWELL AT MIDNIGHT. a Great Composure Shown by the Criminal in Face of Death—Story of the Crime— Last of the Brock Gang—Outlaw Mur- phy and His Winchester — Other Crimes, CAMDEN, N. J., Aug. 26.—James J. Morton was hanged inthe County Jail at 10:30 this morning, and was pronounced dead five min- utes afterward. About8 o’clock last night the three daughters of Morton calied on their condemned father, They remained with him until nearly midnight, and bade him an atf- fecting farewell. After they had goneanda few moments spent in devotion Morton threw himselfupon his hammock. It was nota great while before he was wrapped in slum- ber. All through the night ne slept well. He arose at 6o’clock this morning refreshed by bis sleep. He exhibited strong nerve from the time he arose, and at8 o’clock one of the prison officials told the reporter that he did not believe any man was .ever nervier than was Morton then. He ate heartily of the breakfast of fish prepared for him. The crime for which Morton was executed Was the brutal murder of Mrs. Lydia Ann Newby, alias Wyatt, an old volored woman, at her residence, No. 1142 South sixth street, Camden, on the morning of May 9. The mur- dgerer had been Hving with the murdered woman for sometime and knew she possessed about $800 in cash, the proceeds of the sale of a house ; he determined to gain possession of this money. He first visited Dr. Augustus Venn of Philadelphia and tried to negotiate for the saleof the old woman. Falling to make a bargain for her body, he went home and attacked her in the , house witha hbeavy cane, striking her a namber of blows about the head, kiiling her as she lay on the floor. Morton madea confession of the murder and was tried before Judges Gar- rison, Miller, Gaunt and McDowell, without a jury, and immediately adjudged guilty. He was sentenced by Judge Garrison to hanged on July 2 and on the application of Rev. Father Kelly, his spiritual adviser, Gov. Abbett granted hima respite for thirty days. During his confinement inthe County Pris- on he manifested penitence for his crime and never questioned the justice of the death sentence. He prayed much of his time and proltessed to be ready to meet death. LAST OF THE BROCK GANG.

Champ Clark was present with - his representative, ex-Lieut. -Gov. David As Bali of Pike County, and Congressman Dick Norton was accom by his spokesman, Andrew Clark, of Mont- gomery County. The committee heard all sides, and at noon concluded to refer the whole matter to a sub-committee composed of Fred Zeibig of St. Louls County, F, A. Hunter, Calloway, and Alex Sherwood of _Cape Girardeau. The committee was instructed to canvass the vote of Mont- gomery County and report the result to the General Committee. This work was at once begun behind closed doors, with Gov. Ball representing Clark and Mr. Clark for Norton, While the committee was at work Champ Clark was surrounded by his friends who as- sured him that he was justly entitled tothe nomination. Mr. Clark said he had made hits fight for the nomination and had fairly won by carrying his Montgomery County delegation through thesiege. Onthe other hand, Norton insisted that the voteg heid out on him in Montgomery would give him the delegation. Neither contestant seemed pleased with the ideaof compromis- ing matters by withdrawing, permitting the convention to selectathird man. In thein- terest of rarmony this suggestion has been made repeatedly to the State Committee, The claim has been made that with either Clark or Norton on the ticket the District would go KepubDlican.

Liverpool Wwaled iower for futures, Mark Lane inactive and cargoes California and red ‘winter 3@0d lower, the effect was naturally depressing. The war news did not pan out enough to continue the Salle process of yesterdayand thecholera seare was still badly on abroad.

The cool weather up North was watched closely as it might materialize. frost,, GOlear- ances were good —68,000 pkes flour and 359.000 bu wheat from five ports. There was a rumor from London of financial trouble, and all the ‘private foreign advices were most unfavorable.

An interesting series of experiments has been going on in the Signal Service depart- ment in reference to the location and tracing of local showers and thunderstorms. of the best posted Signal service observers, among whom is Observer Hammon of this city, have been selected to examine into the possibility of furnishing reliable predic- tions in regard to these atmospheric disturbances. The work done in this city as wellas elsewhere would tend to prove thatany extensive prediction is impractic- able. Within the last few days there have been an unusually large number of such storms in Missouri, Kansas, the Indian Terri- tory and Northern Arkansas, information concerning which was received at the cen- tral office in this city. A collation of the facts prove that in nearly all cases they were strictly localin their nature, moved in all directions, were perfectly independent of each otherand seldom extended over a greater extent of country than twenty or thirty miles. It will therefore be impossible to give warning of the approaching of a thunder storm over any very extended area, but notice could be sent from one town to anoth- erinthe immediate vicinity. The observa- tions taken at other points show the same results, and it is regarded as established that, except in a few exceptional instances, thunder storms are erratic and local in their Character.

The First Strest Illumination of the Season Witnessed by an Enormous Crowd. The down-town streets were crowded last night as they have never been crowded be- fore. The attraction was the first illumina- tion of the season. It wasreally the first test of the iluminationsand was a decided success forafirst night. The great globe at Broad- way and Olive street presented a mag- nificent sight, but after being lit awhile the insulation burned out and the lights on the piece had to be extinguished. This defect will be remedied, however, and ail the other special pieces will be ready by the time of the next illumin- ation. The jam onthe streets was so great that those in carriages were compelled in many places to remain stationary, and the crowds on the sidewalks and streets often cameto a standstill on account of the jam. One lady fainted at Broadway and Olive street. The final touches not havin been put on Grant’s statue, and the staran Western World on Lucas Market square, they were notlitup. The other special features were allilluminated and made magnificent displays. The next illumination will be on Sept. 1, when all the special pieces will be illuminated. WiTtu the return of warmer weather comes the necessity of fresh airand recreation, The St. Louis & Suburban cars are ruhning from Sixth and Locustto Wells every two minutes, and to Normandy and Ramona every fifteen minutes. This is the pleas- antest way for visitors toseethe prettiest sections of the city and county. a WHEAT GRADED HIGHER. Important Change in the Standard for Hard Wheat. Beginning with this month Chief Grain In- spector Joseph M. O’Shea has decided to raise the inspection standard of hard winter wheat. Formerly the minimum weight fixed for No. 2 was 58 pounds. This has beenraised to 69 pounds. The standard for No. 3 has likewise been advanced. Formerly It was 55 pounds, and now it has been fixed at 56 pounds, Thischange is considered one of great importance by St. Louis dealers, as it will tend to puta stop to the complaints of the low standard of wheat grades. The Board of Railroad Commissioners of Kansas as soon as they learned of the decision of the Missouri inspector, changed their rules to correspond. ‘*The Exposition Echoes” Will be issued daily during the Exposition fromthe PosT-DISPATCH press-room in the Exposition building.
