VOL. XIL GOLIATH MEETS DAVE Ilaj. McKinley,the Protection ist Giant. Hobnobs With Gov. Hill. Then the Empire Statesman Oratorically Flays Mo nopoly's Friend. Eight Thousand Buckeyes Lis ten to an Expose of Tariff Frauds. Having Been Betrayed by Mc- Kiniey They Will Not Re- Elect Him. Woostep, 0., Oct. 23.— Gov. Hill left Canton for Wooster this morning, arriv ing at the latter place at noon. At every station along the route large crowds were gathered and cheered Gov. Hill as the train passed and many peo ple took occasion to board the train at each station and shake hands with the governor. At Massillon, Maj. McKiniey, who was on his way to Smithville, boarded the train, and John G. War wick, McKinley's Democratic opponent In this congressional district, who was Bitting in company with the governor, gracefully arose and surrendered his seat to the major, who chatted with the governor until he reached his destination. On arriving at Wooster an immense throng crowded the station, and the city was in gay holiday attire. At least 5,000 people from suno.mding villages and hamlets within Wayne county arrived before noon to listen to the governor's address. Gov. Camp bell, who was expected to be present, telegraphed that legislative complica tions prevented his attendance. Gov. Hill addressed a monster open air mass meeting of 8,000 people this alternoon. He was introduced by Judge Critch field, who said no political gathering in this congressional district had ever equaled the present one. Gov. Hill commenced his speech by a thorough explanation of the tariff bill, and ■aid that federal taxation was the question of the hour, ami that the passage of the McKin iey hill had caused such an uprising of the masses against such pernicious legislation as was never before seen in the history of the country. he said the Democratic party be lieved that only the revenue to meet the nec essary expenses of the government should be raised by the levying of import duties aud not by "direct taxation. The principles of the Republican party arethat not only should there be import duties for the support of the government but that there should be an ex cess of such taxation, in some In stances amounting actually to a pro hibition of imports Tho place for the surplus of taxes is in the pockets of the people of the country, and a carrying out of Democratic principles on ibis point would tend to such a result. The Republican parly not on l v jeopardizes interests of the people in the creating of such a surplus as bas been gathering in the national treasury aud which will materially increase through the applications of the McKiniey bill, but h further Betrays the Masses by its enormous extravagance and unneces sary appropriations, which is their plan for reducing trie surplus instead of restricting duties; There is at this moment being per fected the organization of a trust in window glass at Findlav. 0., made possible by the increase of duties on this product by the JicKiuley bill. Your district is a great wheat and pork producing country. The wheat exports amounted to millions of bushels last year, while the im ports were but I< -0,000 bushels, yet McKin lev, -tfter raising the duty on farmers* nec essaries of life, mounts the platform and tells you that he has equalized duties by increas ing the duly on wheat five cents a bushel, so that tne farmers who send millions of bush els of wheat to other countries will bo pro tected from the com petition of the 100,0 0 bushels of wheat which are the average an nual imports of mis product, Has he hood winked you by such an explanation? 1 think not. Ask Blame when he speaks here what he meant when he said that there was not a line in the McKiniey tariff law which opens up a new market for wheat and pork. The Democratic party holds that wider marKets are necessary to the prosperity of the farmers. The -forests of our country have disappeared at an amazing rate and no longer are able to supply the needs of tho country for building purposes. ...The Dem ocratic parly holds that the duty on lumber should lie removed. As a result of the agita tion started by our party : the McKiniey bill reducesthe duties on certain grades of lum ber on which the Republican party claims credit. We, on the contrary, hold that ■ they are entitled to no ere Jit, for they should have reduced this tariff the other half also. I op pose the election of William McKiniey, among other reasons, because he voted for and advocated The Infamous Force Bill. That measure imperils tne very existence of constitutional government in this coun try, and the best interests of the people de mand its defeat. The issue which it presents equals even, if it does not overshadow, the industrial question presented by the tariff. I deny the existence of ' any valid or sub Etauiial reason for the passace of such a measure. Puny expediency and necessity may urge its enactment, but patriotism, good government and the cause of honest elections nuite in opposing its success. Stripped of the patriotic disguise which the measure ' assumes and considered in the light of truth and justice, it is a scheme de vised to perpetuate the political power of the. Republican party . and control the elections of the country, espe cially in the Southern states. Our opponents shout that they want "honest elections," but they insist that such honesty must be obtained under methods manipu lated by them, and them alone. The enforce ment of such a measure would require mill ions of dollars from the public treasury, would foist upon the people a herd of fed eral officials, not elected by citizens, but ap pointed Judges who hold their positions fer lite, and would endanger the peace and good order ot communities without affording the slightest protection to a single elector. The people, in my judgment, don't need fed eral interference in the elections of states. There has nothing taken place in any part of the South to justify the ex ercise of a doubtful sensational power of congress to regulate our elections. For a hundred years no such power has been sought to be used in the interests of any po litical party, and it is the crowning disgrace of tbe age that the precedent of a century should be set aside in the effort to usurp powers solely to aid the desperate fortunes of a political organization. I denounce this measure as a dangerous exercise of constitu tional authority, a menace to our theory of government, and an Insult to the People of the Etatcs. The steles have always regu lated their own congressional elections They should be permitted to continue to do bo. A refusal of such a privilege is devoid of Justice. It is a policy of force and partisanship. A mere recital of the details of the proposed measure is sufficient to make them execrable. Federal supervisors in every election district strangers to the people, vested with author ity to override the certificates of local of ficials and the governors of states, consti tute the frameworK of the proposed in iquity. The sacred right of representation is made to depend upon the integrity of partisan officers Having no responsibility to the peo ple. Tne tendency of such legislation would be to provoke a conflict between federal and state officials, and race prejudices would be engendered at U>e South. Federalism never before assumed so extreme an attitude, aud political power was never before proposed to be more basely pristituted to partisan in terests. This force bill is a vicious ■ttack upon a republican form of government, and ought not to prevail. Those who affect to think that the people don't understand this issue, and are not aroused to its importance, mistake the y^^ m/^^^^r^j£^^^^^^^*7^' '■'■■' signs of the times and the character and tem per of the American people.; In conversation with McKiniey on the train today he told me it was the intention of the present. Repub lican congress to pass the force bid before its expiration, no matter .... which party was suc cessful in the coming elections. If ■ they do not carry. the next election you can rest *» surea they will not pass the bill. In conclusion the governor said that Mc- Kiniey. the apostle of the high protective tariff and unjust taxation, who seeks the vindication ot his course in the last congress, should go into some other state and run there in a congressional district which con tains the interests which he has labored so successfully to serve, and not ask the sup port of a constituency which he has betrayed. After the governor had finished '- his speech, in view of the fact that the peo ple on the outskirts of the * crowd had be *n unable to hear him, and that many who were at their daily labor also de sired to hear him, he consented to re main until to-night, when he addressed 1,500 people, who taxed the utmost ca pacity of the village ouera house. The governor's remarks' were mainly a re view of the tariff question and the leg islation and doings of congress. The governor and party left for Massillon at 9 o'clock, where he speaks to-morrow.

Express Companies Amenable to State Laws in Kansas. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 22— The last state legislature enacted a law provid ing, for the taxation of all express com panies doing business in the state over rented or leased lines, the tax being $2 on every $100 received or charged for carrying freight within the state. The law provided for an annual report from the company to the state auditor for each year's business. Last June Audi tor Siebert attempted to enforce the law. The Pacific Express company resisted, claiming that the law was discrimina tive in its operations in favor of railroad companies, of express companies own ing their own lines and of steamboat lines. The claim was also set up that the law was not valid because it levied a tax upon interstate commerce. The company obtained a temporary injunc tion restraining the auditor from en forcing the law. To-day Judges Phil lips and Caldwell, of the Uuited States circuit court dissolved the injunction and declared the law valid. Don't Care to Take Chances. Boston, Oct. 22.— aldermen have notified the Massachusetts; Hospital Life.

Restrictions on English Im ports of American Cattle to Be Modified. Minnesota's Agricultural Col lege Comes In for $15, --000 Federal Money. Treasurer Huston Proposes to Flood the Country With Small Bills. Washington, Oct. Secretary Rusk said to a reporter to-day that he was receiving encouraging reports of progress from J. H. Sanders, his special agent in Great Britain, relative to the removal of British restrictions upon the importation of American live stork. In a recent report to the secretary, Mr. Sanders encloses excerpts from British journals which give, among other things, the details of the. embargo re cently placed upon a shipment of Cana dian cattle to Scotland. The secretary said that this English account of the in cident confirms what he has always con tended, namely, the difficult <f depending absolutely upon a single diagnosis in order to determine whether symptoms of disease indicate the con tagious or non-contagious pleuro-pneu nmnia. It was on this ground that the secretary concluded to adopt the pres ent plan of co-inspection by representa tives of his own department with the; British inspectors. The secretary also said that he thought the action of the British authorities in the Dundee case justified the inference that the restric tions imposed and maintainea on Amer ican cattle by the British government are due less to any spirit of unfriendli ness which might lead to discrimina tions against the United States than to a. positive fear lest through any , lack of tlleir offi cial vigilance danger to British cattle might ensue, and this naturally leads mm to the conclusion that comparative ly little difficulty will be experienced in securing the removal of any restric tions discriminating between American and Canadian cattle just so soon as the British authorities can be thoroughly convinced of the immunity which American cattle now enjoy from con tagious, pleuro-pneumonia and of the ample powers vested in the secretary of agriculture to control and eradicate it should any outbreak occur in the future. The secretary feels highly encouraged at the present state of his efforts to re move restrictions upon American cattle. . New Utiles for Inspection. The regulations prescribed by the de partment of agriculture for the inspec tion and quarantine of neat cattle, sheep and other ruminants and swine imported into the United States desig nate the following as import quaran tine stations, viz: On the Atlantic sea board, the ports of Boston, New York and Baltimore; on the Pacific sea board, San Diego; along the boundary between the lifted . States and Mex ico, Brownsville, Paso del Norte, Eagle Pass, Laredo and Nogales: and along the border or boundary line between the United States and British Columbia and Canada, through the cus tom ports in the collection districts of Aroostook and Bangor, Me.; Vermont, Vt.; Buffalo Creek, Niagara, Cap Vin cent, Champlain and Oswegatchie,. N. V.; Detroit, Port Huron" and Superior, ; Mich. ; Minnesota and Duluth, Minn.; and Puget Sound, Washington. The order and regulations issued by the de partment for the inspection. of cattle and sheep for export provide that the inspection may be made at any of the following stockyards: Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, Buffalo, Pittsburg, and the following " ports of export, viz.: Boston and Charlestown, Mass.; New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Norfolk, and Newport News, Va. All cattle shipped from any of the aforesaid yards must be tagged before being shipped to the ports of export. Cattle arriving at ports of export from other parts of the United States will be tagged at said ports. MINNESOTA GETS A SLICE. Appropriations in Aid of Agricult ural Colleges. Washington, Oct. 22.— T0-day the secretary of the interior signed certifi cates for the amount of 815,000 each ap propriated under the act of congress approved Aug. 30, 1890, for the present fiscal year in aid of agricultural and mechanical colleges in twenty-three states, including Minnesota and the ter ritory of New Mexico. Another in stallment is already due, but the secre tary is determined not to certify the amount until the country knows the state of the law and action taken, so that if any objections are to be made they will be made without delay, and before any further money is expended. TOO MUCH FOR ONE MAN. Architects Think the Government Needs More of Their Kind. Washington, Oct. 22.— The annual convention of the American Institute of Architects began in this city to-day, the meetings being held at the Arling ton hotel. The attendance was very encouraging, representing all parts of the Union. Many interesting and val uable reports will be presented and papers read before the convention dur ing its three days' session. But one session was held to-day, and was chiefly devoted to preliminary matter. John Root, of Chicago, was the presiding offi cer, and he introduced Commission er Douglass, of the District of Columbia, who made an address of. wel come to the delegates. At the conclu sion of Mr. Douglass' address Presiding Officer Root announced that R.M. Hunt, • the president : of the institute, was un able to be present on account of illness, and his report was read by one of the board of directors. Mr. Hunt said in paper that no . more appropriate place • for the first convention since the consol idation of ; the Western Association of Architects and theAmencan Institute of Architects could have been selected than the national capital. The paper also re ferred to the large amounts annually appropriated ;by congress for public buildings, and to the fact: that the treasury department at Washington was responsible for their/expenditure. It said that while the work of the super vising architect's office of the treasury is generally well done, ;,*.' we must hold it preposterous to assume that '■■ any one person can do justice to the present re quirements of the office. ; The present arrangement is by no means an econom ical one, and it is natural to attribute the perpetuation of it ,to political job bery, or an indifference towards matters of art. Were the national buildings put in charge of well-selected men, and the duties or" the supervising; archictect re-.: stricted to a general supervision of them, it ;is but reasonable to - assume that : the government would be better and more economically served." At the con clusion of -the reading of Mr. Hunt's paper,'- the; presiding officer regretfully alluded to the death of John McArthur Jr., the celebrated Philadelphia archi tect, who died since the last convention of the institute. The renort of the board of directors gave at great length the technical work done by the institute during the year, and showed the'; finan- : cial situation of the institute to be on a sound footing. Resolutions of sympathy 1 wtfh the family of the late A.B. Mullett weie adopted, and a committee will be appointed to represent the institute at' the funeral to-morrow. The convention then adjourned until to-morrow. MASONS OF HIGH DEGREE. - Session of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite.

Eurxington, 10., Oct 22.— Speaker Reed arrived in this city, from Peoria, at noon to-day. Ex-Senator Harlan in troduced Mr. : Reed. . After ■'■ thanking the people for 'the warm reception accorded him, he asked: where there could be found a higher average level of intelligence outside of the United States than was present before him. He had seen thousands of - just such audi ences in America. Fifty years ago the intelligence was not so great. Contact with each other" in commercial and po litical channels had built up this present unrivaled . intellectual commonwealth.. We have become intelligent enough to recognize and admit the right ; of - the majority •to rule. There is a great wrong being done in. this country to day. Eight millions of people, with representatives, were deprived of their rights and those rights given to the Southern leaders. Twenty-six seats . in : congress were' occupied last term by men who had no more right to them than they had a : right; to seats in the British parliament. A great cry was set up over the Lodge bill depriving people of their rights. It did. deprive them of the right to steal ballot boxes, disenfranchise negroes, and doc tor returns. The nation had a right to Know about these methods in the South.* The Democrats are ■< sensative about bayonets; can it ba that recollection of- the past has anything to do with their; feelings on this subject? Afterexplain ing the Lodge bill Mr. Reed returned to the tariff bill, explaining the.' changes and benefits it proposed and ridiculing the Democratic cry of rising prices. He closed with a tribute to , Congressman • Gear. PRAYERS CUT NO FIGURE. Kansas "Women Fail to Close an 0. : P. Joint. I Lawrence. Kan., Get 22. — The ladies of the" local W. C. T.

All the others were destroyed, and ; several : bodies were burned to ashes in the fiery fur nace. The flames sterted in a few min utes after • the collision, and the wood work of the tunnel caught' fire and is making the night lurid at this writing. Every Inch a Hero. ■J-. Here is a story of heroism that has not been told. The hero's name. Express Messenger Brenner had forgotten, but :he was until recently a station agent ot the railroad at Somerset, Ky. Well, this brave man- heard the cries of George Long . in the baggage car. Seizing .an axe, he cut a hole in the side of : the car . and drew him out from under a • pile of. trunks and boxes. In the express compartment of the same car the voice of E. P. finer, 'the messenger of the United States Ex press company, was heard. - Our hero, scorched with the " approaching flames, 'cut - a hole in the side of: the car. -Ruffner .was- walking about unscathed, but in a death rap. .The brave rescuer, ready to sacrifice bis own life in the effort to save another, kept on. cutting; away with his ax, his own clothing singed by the fire, the hot air consuming, his = strength, and: his blows growing feebler at every stroke. •Ruffner, . doomed in his prison, shouted to him,-.- "go away;, save- yourself while you can; Lam Ed P.
