GOVERNOR M’KINLEY’S VIEWS.

Attribute* the Present Condition to Threatened Tariff Chance*. Governor McKinley addressed an audience of 10,000 people, Saturday, at the annual harvest picnic of the Erie County Agrlculrural Society at Linwood Park, Vermillion. Hisspeech dealt largely with the present financial and business conditions. He pointed out that the business of the country rested upon credit, faith in one another, faith in the industries of the country, faith in the destinies of the Republic, and .when every man has lost faith, then paralyses follows. What we want now was level-headedness. Jlut as unfortunate as our situation was to-day, it would have been worse if instead of hav*ng National bank money, we had State bank money. Continuing he said: It is not important that we find somebody to blame for our present financial distrust, but it is of paramount Importance that we find some way ont. There fs nothing so sensitive in this world as capital and trade and commerce, and business men everywhere are sure to discount their fears of the future. Whatever influence the Sherman law, so-called, may have upon the present condition, it is by no means the chief cause of our troubles. The great clause is elsewhere found, and those who cannot discover ft are Iblinded by partisanship. Manufacturers are not going to. produce for the future l when their products made undtr present conditions may have to con pote .with, like products made under othei ant different conditions. Manufacturers are not go-

ing to produce for the. future and pay pro-' tective tariff wages, when their products may have to compete with like products under free trade wages. Let me tel! what would be the cure—an authortitative declaration of Congress, approved by the President, that the threatened changes will not take place; that they did not mean it, or if they meant it they have discovered that they were wrong. If they will do that the fears of the business world will be quieted and the business world will resume its normal condition.

The Business Age.

New York Weekly. Friend —Why didn’t you exhibit at the World’s Fair? Manufacturer —Business, old boy, business, see? ‘‘Humph! I don't see.'' “You are always behind the age.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

At exactly 12 o’clock, Tuesday, the joint committee met on the Senate' side. The journals of the two House were read as leisurely as possible. The President was promptly notified that the two Houses were organized and ready to hear any communication lie had to make. When the House met the message was communicated to Congress and read by the Clerk of the Bosie as presented elsewhere in this paper. Senator Vest. Wednesday, introduced a bill to make the silver dollar qontain 464 4-10 grains pure silver or 516 grains standard siWer. Senator Hill, of New York, Wednesday, introduced a bill “to repeal certain sections of the act of July 14,1890, to pur--hase silver bnll!on, : ’ etc. The bill provides that the rejrcal of the purchasing clause is not to be construed as an abandonment of bimetahsm. The silver men are pleased with the position of Senator Hill. Both housesheld brief sessions. Wednesday, and adjourned. Tire day was devoted to caucus meetings and preliminary work of various kinds. There was little done in Congress last week. The Senate adjourned Thursday until Monday. The free coinage men of the House held a caucus. Wednesday afternoon, and adopted the following resolutions: : Resolved, That we will support, a bill repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and concurrently providing for free and untram melcd coinage of silver, with full legal tender quality, on such a ratio as will provide and maintain the parity between gold and silver. Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed by the chairman of this conference to draft and introduce such a bill, and taue proper steps to secure the free and full discussion and consideration thereof, and a vote of the House upon the bill and proper amendments. It is claimed that this committee will recommend a ratio of eighteen or even twenty to one,and are ready to abandon the present ratio of sixteen to one In order to secure free coinage; In the House, Friday, Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, introduced the bill for the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law. Representative Bland offered an agreement regulating course of debate. The substitute bill of the free coinage caucus was also presented by Mr. Bland. The debate was opened by Mr. Raynor, (Dem.) of Maryland, in support of the Wilson bill. He opposed the free coinage of silver at any ratio. He held that it is impossible to effect an International arrangement so long as the purchasing clause of the Sherman law remains on the books. Mr. Brown (Indiana) followed ‘Mr. Raynor in a speech favoring unconditional repeal, although ha was favorable to free coinage. Mr. Bland followed Mr. Brown in a vehement speech for silver. He regretted that former friends of the cause had seen fit to withdraw their support. He reviewed the financial legislatien of recent years at length. He closed by demanding free coinage and said if it was not granted that the Western Democrats would desert the party. The Democratic party cannot be held together on a gold basis for our currency. Mr. Bland was followed by Mr. Pence, of Colorado, (Populist) and Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, closed the debate for the day. In the House. Saturday, the silver debate was continued. Mr. Wheeler, (Alabama) gave his hearty approval to the' views of the President, but believed that the present business troubles were caused by threats to change the tariff laws more than by the Sherman bill. Mr. Harter (Ohio), favored the repeal of the Sher map law.

MOB LAW IN ALABAMA.

The Peaceable Citizens of tlie’Sunny South Go On the War Path. Clarke, Choctaw, Wilcox and Marengo counties th ATabama, have tof years suF’ sered from the depredations and outlawry of a gang of ruffians known as the Meachamites. The trouble began over a saloon opened in defiance of the local prohibition laws of that section, and operated by night only, masked men guarding the place and dealing with customers. Gradually the infractions of Jaw wereextended to horse-stealing and counterfeiting, and the gang grew in' nutAbers until It is supposed to number about fifty men. Their headquarters were Meachambeat, six miles from Coffeeville. Barn burnings and outrages of various kinds were constantly taking place, and several persons have been killed by the outlaws without provocation and in cold blood. The last outbreak of the Meachamites wa« at Thomasville, when they threatened to destroy the town. Following this a meeting of citizens was held and an organized force was mustered with the determinanation to suppress the gang. Friday night, the posse captured Tooch Bedsoe, a Meachamite, who confessed to the killing as various parties. Bedsoe was then riddled with bullets by the posse organized by the citizens. At a subsequent encounter two more of the gang were killed, and the hunt for the desperadoes is continuing In tbe swamps and forests of the country. 'The citizens are determined to kill them all before the chase Is stopped.
