th,ns leaked out. I'pon his arrival he visited H. P. Crouse. chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and from him a-cured a list of twentyfive prominent Republicans who are supposed to Is- in line for positions of various kinds. Col. Waldorf then caU--4*l] u}mjd of th>*sr perilous uj»on h?s list ami demanded SSO as a contribution to McKinley's cfimjiaign fund. fen. men were anxiou- enough to be consid- < rid "in line" to give SSO apiece. In each instance it was required that the sum is- paid by checks, and the checks were all made [atyable to the order of M. A. Hanna. The remaining fiftet n ujwin the list got off with contributions : of from $25 down to $lO each, the entire : sum raised in this county Is-ing s*oo. This county, a correspondent says. Is ; but an average one as the State goes, and if the other counties do as well and average smmi each it will make a total of $70,400 which M. A. Hanna wdl wring out of the little politicians of < >hio for use in the "legitimate expense" of the McKinley campaign. The fact of this canvass is known to but a few p< rsotisund was only revealed through ! tlie unguarde,l remarks of one of the ; chief contributors. Three other agents have the remainder of the State not covered by Col. Waldorf, the State! is mg divided into four sections. i The Monster Iron Combine. T! announcement is made as if it were a piece of great news that the j iron and steel industry of the i'nited States "is now in the absolute control | of a few men who are banded to- , geiLer by the strongest bonds of common interest and who have at a cornier- ■ vative estimate not less than $300,000,- I 000 at their disposal." It seems that ! the parties concerned make no secret of this combination, but profess to regard it as a js-rfectly innocent affair and not to entertain a suspicion that I It is in any respect unlawful or even : object ionable. The men in the combination, we are I t<dd, “are in a position now to say how I much iron ore shall In- converted into iron and steel and at what prices it si.all be sold." Not only are they in a position to say this, but they have already begun to say it. The “ore pool” which seems to include all northern producers east of the Missouri, recently lived the ore output for the present vearnt 10.500.000 tons. At the instance of the monster combine this figure has ls„n reducts! to B.S(MI,<MX) tons. The combine also puts the price of steel bil1< s at Pittsburg up to S2O per ton, an advance of $3. It is In order, by the way, in view of the formation of this monster Iron anti steel combination, to remind Senator s; - : .ui ~f what he said In debate v ett tin- McKinley bill was pending before Congress, lie said in sub stance that combinations to suppress competition and wrench exorbitant prices from the people were public enemies. He further said that if the men engaged in any of the tariff-fostered industries entered into such a combination he would vote to withdraw from that industry the benefit of tariff protection.

A hchvme to Injure the Farmers, Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, It n typical Republican protectionist wh« makes great pretense* of love for th* American farmer, Ilf* elncerlty Is shown by hl* action In Introducing a tariff bill whh h Impose* additional dutie* of in per cent, on all g<**l* Imported In foreign vessel*. This, he claims, would stimulate our *hlpplng Industry, and restore our |*adtion In th* world’s carrying trade, which we bat under protect lon, If Congress is foollab enough to past tbe Elkina bill, it Is «agy to see that th* principal result will Im- a fall In tbs price* of farm product*. If our vessel cannot carry freight a* cheaply at those of other countries, n dlscrimlna tlon of 10 per cent, would force forelgt ships to charge io |»-r cent, more on nil good*, or else would give American shipping a motM>|*>ly of the Import trade. In either cnse It I* certain that ail the foreign products which we nowtake in exchange for our surplus crops and other exports, would cost more than they do now. The greatest injury to the farmers, however, would come from the fact that if the foreign vessel* which now carry our farm product* to Europe were compelled to return empty to this country, they would Imve to charge

higher rates tor carrying our exports. This would mean that our ability to sell I abroad, which depends largely upon the cheapness of our products as compared with those of competing nations, would be considerably lessened. In or- I dertopay the increased freight charges ! the price of all our pntducta--exports* ■ of wheat, corn, meats, etc.—would liava to Is* cut down or we should lose the 1 ’ markets. Ito the farmers want anything of I that kind? If not. they should send to 1 Congress Democrats who are opposed ; to protection and all kinds of diserim- , I inating duties. Bringing Hidiculc on McKinley. There is something immensely funny | I about the McKinley canvass for the St. ' Ix>uis nomination. The style in which he is being secluded by his managers, isolated, surrounded with mystery! hemmed in by Imrriers. made as inaccessible as the grand llama of Tliilw-t, ami as inscrutable as the oracle >f ! Itodona—all this is thoroughly ridiculous. Here is William McKinley | hitherto a plain American citizen, all of a sudden, transformed by his matmge:s ; into a sort of veiled prophet.

It would have !ieen easy enough for the House of Representatives, when it | found Itself unable to increase the revenues owing to Senate disagreements | to take the opposite tack and cut down j appropriations to the measure of exI isting revenue.

The Ration is a big concern fitted with ma-s;vc machinery, a battery of thirteen boilers and two 1200-horse power engines. The station is the property of the Indianapolis Manufacturers’ Fuel supply Company. Th y have several thousands of acres of the finest gas lands in Madison County under lease, covering Anderson, Frankton, and Alexandria territory. Already fifty wells have Is-en drilled and are ready to turn into the laic of the company tearing into Indianaiadis.

An idea that has been suggested to the Commission by several different persons is that in Indianapolis a large stretch of ground lie laid cut, its form being exactly that of the State of Indiana. It is prolaised that this park be divided off intc .-ounties, as the State is. and that each :-ounty put up a county building.

Iu this way the sheriff li<>p< « to discourage traffic in tickets, which, if placed on sale, yvouid undvubtelly demand a high price. A the. ry which tinds many siipp.rters is that Jackson will take the stand and admit he was instrumental in bringing about Miss Bryan’s death; that he w is a mutual frbn.i "f the victim and Will W.ssi. and that at their request he agr.-ed i jierform the operation and requested Walling to : --i-t him. This they attempted to do and made a mistake which resulted in death, but the crime was committed in Cincinnati, and with a view to concealing the victim's identity the i>o-ly was taken to Fort Thomas and the head severed. Should the truth of tlii- <t.,ry l«- established a conviction in Kentucky could not stand. Thus there is a possibility of the defendant escaping punishment on technicalities, even though he be guilty. Witnesses were examined Saturday to establish the identity of th-- headless Issly found near Fort Thomas as that of Pearl Bryan’s and to prove that she was murlered nt the very spot where she was found. In the afternoon the defense began to cross-examine witnesses. The method pursued inilicati-d the lines of defense; one that tbe body was killed by some drug several hours before it was beheadtsl where it was found; also that all i-onfi-ssioiis of Jackson were made under durum*', were not voluntary and will be Incomiietent as evidence.

Mr. Thurston (Rep., Neb.l expressed bis respect for every church of Christianity, yet he regarded it a« a fundamental principle that the pul* Ik- money of the people should be expended only for public purpose* and only by puolic officers and instrumentalities. Mr. Gray said he never h-arnod that the foundations >f thia Government were not broad enough for equal justice and toleration to all. I’roti-stantiam was not bigitry, be said, and Christianity was not fanaticism. Mr. I’ettign-w asked that i time for a vote on the sectarian school amendment be fixed, but there was objection to fixing any time.

The Senate Wedne- lay disp--«-‘<! of the •i-Ctarmn school qii'stion by adopting n MUiprotnise framed by Senator Cockrell at Missouri. The Indian bill, as it came from the Senate, provided that no money therein appropriated shall tie paid for education in sectarian schools. This provision is struck out by the Cockrell uuendmetit. as adopted, and it is declared :o be the settled policy of the Government to make no appropriations for sectarian schools after July 1. ISM thus giving two years for the abandonment of sectarian schools, instead of an immediate abandonment. The amendment was adopt.-d by the decisive vote of 38 to 34. The Indian bill was not completed when the Senate adjourned. The House entered npon the consideration of the general fiension bill, reported from the invalid (tension committee. It ambnds the existing pension laws in some very important • ot an enlisted man exist if no tidings have been heard from him for seven years. It provides that desertion or dishonorable discharge shall not tie a bar to a pension under the act ot 18Bt) if the enlisted man has served ninety days subsequent to such lischarge. It provides that pensions allowed shall date from their first application. It fixes the maximum income of a widow entitled to a pension under the act of IMsi at per annum. It provides that no pension shall Is- reduced or discontinued exnpt for fraud or recovery from disability and that discontinued pensions when re<- maidered and reallowej shall date from their discontinuance. Several minor bill, were passed at the opening of the Senate Thnrsday, including the bill authorizing a bridge across the Missouri river at Boonville, Mo. The Indian appropriation bill was freely discussed.

Mr. 11,-pburn (Rep.) of lowa gave notice of ::n amendment instructing the jiension office to construe the pension laws liberally. Mr. Stewart (Rep.) <4 New Jersey closed the debate for the day I he Senate gave Friday to the sundry civil appropriation bill without eomplet ing it. Mr. Shorn n sought to take u[ ■ « g a repeal of tbi la w giv ing a rebate on the tax on alcohol useJ in the arts, but the measure went over. A projiosal by Mr. Bacon (Dem.) of Georgia giving the Cotton States Exposition Commtny $13,000 balance of the former appropriation unexpended wns adopted The bill then went over. Tlie joint resolution giving to Senators Mantle of Montana and Clark of Wyoming the salary from March 4, INH. instead of from the date of election, was adopted. The House decided to proceed with the Pickier pension bill and the whole day was consumed in the discussion of that measure. The House non-concurred in the Senate amendments to the Indian bill and agreed to a conference. The evening session was devoted to private pension bills.

The debate on the adoption of a rub brought in by th,- Rules Committee in tin House Monday for n vote on the Pickier genera! pension bill wns rather sensational. though nothing wns accomplished. The minority rep-.rt on the Pacific Railroad bill was submitted to the House by Representative Hubbard of Missouri.
