Memphis, Tenn., May 27.—The following address to the public, issued by tho Central Bimetyjlie league of Memphis, explains itself: "To the People of the United States: The arch enemies of the agricultural and producing classes of our country, moved by greed and encouraged by avarice, havg Ciiii'ired to 1 transfer the essentially government il ( tion of Issuing and controlling the mon- I ey volume of the nation to a system I of banking corporations full of tho vice of class legislation and void of any virtue which commends It to the consideration of a patriotic citizen. Undaunted by tho failure to secure the sanction of the American congress the promoters of this nefarious scheme have boldly taken the initiatory : step to attain the object of the con- : splracy. Hacked by tho great power of exhaustless wealth and the Influence of high official position, they have publicly convened . In this city of Memphis ami openly declared their purpose. They demand that the constitutional and Inherently sovereign right to issue money be delivered into their j hands. They hesitate at no deception, they i scruple at no fraud Knowing tho Innate Integrity of our people they prate of ’honest money.' Appreciating our aversion to pa- I ternallsm they say the ’government must go out of the bunking business.' •'They hope and believe that we will not stop to consider that to exact a dollar which, by vicious legislation, they have made to cost tho debtor twlco us much labor and double the amount of produce as the one promised, Is not honest.’ They expect the American people to accept us true the statement that money of the constitu- ! lion, established by the fathers. Is dishonest for no other reason save the dicta of their il- i lustrlous accomplices and tools They hope that the people will ignorantly confound tho sovereign prerogative and the duty of the gov- j ernment to coin money and establish a system of uniform weights and measures, with tho bus- | iness of loans and discounts inherently iippropriatc to the occupation of tho private citizen. They think that we will forget that the true question is not whether the government shall go out of tho tanking business.’ but whether the banks shall go oul of the governing business. Thus they design by the aid of publlo apathy to rivet the chains which will make j

free men slaves.

“To the end that their hopes ttiay meet with disappointment and their conspiracy with failure. that the tolling masses of our people may be saved from an industrial serfdom more cruel and degrading than chattel slavery, something insist be done to meet their cunningly directed and Insidious assaults." "That tho people may come together and take counsel of each other it has been deemed expedient to cull together a convention to assemble at Memphis, Juno 12 aud la. 1805. Kvery community, every city and town and every state In tho union Is earnestly requested and cordially luvlted to send delegates to that convention. Every vicinity Is urged to organize bimetallist clubs, and every club should bo represented. It Is proposed that this convention shall voice the sentiments of the jK-ople. The country needs their best thought, their most careful deliberation and energetic action. They have no money to employ hireling emissaries to drum up delegates from cotton exchanges and boards of trade. Their own intelligent patriotism Is the only fund to which they can appoal. "The object of this convention is to formulate some dcflnltc plan for future action, to give direction to tho overwhelm- I ing volume of public sentiment fuvoring a return to our own, and establishing our Independence of alien financial institutions; to devise means for such a campaign of education that hereafter it will be possible to elect only such men to tho legislative and executive offices of the nation us tire unuwed by power and unboughl by spoils.

The Famous Prelate Declares It Would Prove Disastrous. Chicago. May 27.—Archbishop Ireland is opposed to the free coinage of silver. He regards the proposition to have silver restored us a menace to all present and future prosperity of the country. He said so Saturday while in the course of a general interview. The archbishop was asked what might prevent the tide of prosperity, evidently now just setting in, from reaching its greatest height, and in his reply to the question he fully defined his position on the silver question. The answer will be received \yith interest pud authority all over the country, lie said; "The present silver agiietlon might check the period of prosperity which It seems Is about setting In for us. Without entering Into the merits of the difficult and Intricate questions Involved in a discussion of the silver phase or craze, I would say that, so long as there Is no International agreofnent between tho great governments of the world—tho commercial nations—an attempt on the part of the United States to return to free coinage of silver would be fatal to our business prosperity "The United States is largely a borrowing nation. A new country, undeveloped. Is necessarily a borrower of the older nations, and that must positively be taken Into consideration when we lightly speak of changing the form of our linancial basis. It Is out of the question that we by ourselves cun create a silver basis to be accepted by the balance of the world, willy nllly. “What we borrow we must receive from obroad. and the foreign capitalists will not invest In millions of securities If they are to be p dd back for their advances iu silver when they can buy the bullion of that metal at fifty cents. They simply will not do It. and It is an absurd folly to Imagine that we ran compel them to do. We are In no position to stand uloof nor to restore conlldence in our business Institutions except by agreeing as we have in the ptst as to our Ununciul basts in tho marts of the world, where we meet all that Is In coinoetltton with us and all which will positively refuse to accept our proposed silver basis us that of the whole world."

One Mitn Slain ami Another Mortally Wounded at Troy, liy. Versailles, Ky., May 27.—At noon Sunduy the steps of Troy Presbyterian church, 7 miles south of here, were converted into a dueling ground, George B. Montgomery killing hi.s brother-in-law, Archibald Riley, and being himself mortally wounded by Riley. The murder is tho culmination of a sensation that upset high society in the Blue Grass section three years ago, when Riley seduced Montgomery's sister and fled to Mississippi. He was brought back and at the point of a pistol forced to marry the girl. Ho immediately deserted her and did not return to these parts until recently. Both men attended church

Sunday.

There was a large congregation present, the church having tlie most cultured and aristocratic membership in this part of the state. Neither man saw the other till alter services when they met face to face on the steps. Both began firing at once, and did not stop until one was , dead with five bullets in his body and tlie other dying with an ugly wound i

just above the heart.

The congregation became panici stricken at once and the wildest con- . fusion resulted. Scores of ladies ! fainted and several were badly j 1 trampled in the stampede. The entire tiling was done so quickly that no one thought of interfering. Both men were astoundingly cool and deliberate. After firing tlie lust shot Montgomery turned to the bystanders and said: "Gentlemen, I hated to do this; but was compelled to; my conscience is now easy.” It is claimed that Riley had threatened Montgomer's life and both men had been carrying pistols

for each other.

More Wild Scenes In the I’lt Over Report of Coining I ront. Chicago, May 27.—Saturday was another lively day on the board of trade, and after a weak and lower opening wheat made a sudden splurge, selling up amid tlie wildest kind of excitement 5e from the low point, and finally closing2Kchigher titan Friday.
