IARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS
Council Bluffs Iowa Aug 29 At
the third and last days session of the
Farmers national congress yesterday a
vote was taken to select n state in which
the next meeting should be held and
Missouri was selected The fruit of the
Farmers congress embodies itself iu
the work of the committee on resolu
tions This committee hns held long
sessions and tbo discussions were ear
nest calm and dignified From the first
vote It was evident tbo committee was
divided on strict lines of the two systems
of political economy now being discussed
at all the political meetings In the coun
try One part believed In the doctrines
of the Republican party and the other
declared that the depression was great
and general and that remedies were
needed greater than the increase of the
volume of the circulating medium and
great reform in the tariff A great mauy
resolutions were acted upon some of
them of a very radical charactr but the
following are tbe only ones which re
ceived the approval of the committee
Resolved that we demand of congress
most liberal appropriations for tbe im
provement of all practical interwater
wuys which shall make them instead ot a
disuster and destruction to large sections
of our country useful as great national
highways for commerce and trade
We demand the unlimited coinage ot
silver the abolition of uatinnal banking
taws tbe refusal of our national govern
ment to exteud charters of national banks
now in existenco and the issuance ot full
legal tender treasury notes In lieu of na
tional batik notes m sufficient volume to
meet tbe business demands of the Uuited
States and the constantly iucreasiug de
mnnd of trade
Resolved that we ar6 in favor ot a
constitutional amendment making United
States senators elective by the people
We believe that the farmer is paying
more than his just proportion ot taxes
therefore wo favor a gruduated Income
tax law to the end that the iucomes of
the wealthy mny bear their share of the
governmental support
Resolved that we demand of con
gress the amendment of the patent law
so that the exclusive use ot aa invention
be limited to ten years
Resolved that at the Columbian ex
position to be held in Chicago in 1S93
the agricultural and horticultural Inter
ests of the Uuited States should be most
prominently and grandly represented
aud to that end It is recommended that
the various statu legislatures make liber
al appropriations for tbe creditable exhi
bition of their agricultural and horticul

A Harder Capture Confession and Lynching
all Bemen Two Snns
Lexington Mo Aug 29 An
atrocious murder the arrest of
tbe murderer his confession of
tbe crime and a subsequent
lynching were the elements of a
double tragedy that occurred here to
day Sheriff Mitchell received a tele
gram this morning stating EF Parker
a merchant of May view ten miles
south bad been murdered The
Bheriff two deputies and the
coroner and a correspondent
of tbe Republic left nt once for May
view Arriving they went to the scene
of the orime and were confronted with a
ghastly sight Lying behind the counter
with his head almost severpd from his
body lay Parker An examination re
vealed that the Instrument used was
most likely a corn knife or a cleaver
The murdered man slept in a room back
ot tbe store and bad evidently been
awakened during the night or
tarly in tbe morning by a man
who pretended he wished to buy
goods Several articles of clothing were
lying on the counter and in all proba
bility tbe blows bad been struck while
the merchant was stoopiug down in the
net of pulling from beneath the counter
n larger assortment The crime
was probably committed for robbery
for the oath drawer wan found rifled of
some money and an examination of the
dead mans clothes showed the pockets
turned inside out A watch and S40 in
money were found In bis coat which
would suggest that tbe murderer was
frighteued away before securing tbe
valuables Mr Parkers mother lives
in Sharon Pa and has been Informed
of the crime
Later Dr McDonald has arrived here
and states that a negro named
William Walters was arrested a few miles
north of May view by Constable Tbos

VIOLATES TnE QUAY RESOLUTION
Special to the Gazette
Wasihnuton Aug 29 The resolu
tion of Senator Edmunds to take a recess
from September 19 to November In
clearly shows the desperate straits in
which tbe Republican party finds itself
Failing in passing tho election law at
this session they want to gain all the
time possible for tbe consideration of the
election bill and so desire to have an op
portunity to inane time of their political
opponent But tho Democrats will not
be caught by uuy such movo In fact
they will talk such a resolution to death
The Democrats say that tbe Edmunds
proposition is a violation of the
ngreemeut under which tbe tariff bill is
now being hurried through which was
that tbe Federal electionJiilll should not
be considered at this session Quay is
emphatically opposed to uuy recess and
there are many others who say that tbo
senate ought to pass tbe bills they agreed
to iu the Quay resolution and get out
The Republican members on the house
sido do not favor the Edmunds resolu

capable of grappling with the complica

Patterned After Quay
Special to the Gazette
Washington Aug 29 The concur
rent resolution introduced by Senator
Edmunds this morning for a recess from
September 19 to November 10 was put
in it is understood entirely ot bis own
motion and not as a result of any party
conference The senator has apparently
concluded to try the tactics ot
Quay with his resolution against tbe
force bill that Is to throw it In and see
what comes of it It will be a test
simply of tbe strength of sentiment in
the senate favorable to the renewal of
the force bill agitation when congress
has been given a chance to rest a little
If It is buried in tbe committee be will
throw it in a second time dud probably
keep up his game until some action is
taken on it There is not tbe smallest
hope of its passage A small
group of Republican senators are
devoted enough to the Idea ot passing
the force bill to vote for anything which
points that way but there is nothing to
prevent tbe Democrats from talking the
resolution to death There are thirty
seven men on that side eaob good for
one whole days speaking This would
consume a month or more and carry
tbe session over election time Eveu if
the senate should by any trick manage
to pass the Edmunds resolution it would
hardly go down with the house where
the members on both sides are very rest
less over tbe prolongation of the work
aud are looking forward to getting home
as soon as possible for a long rest It
was this short recess plan taking shape
in tbe mind of Senator Edmunds that
doubtless gave riie to the report about
the prospect of an extra session
Opponert to the jSdmandi Itcsntntlon
Washington Aug 29 A senator
who was asked how tbe Edmunds reso
lution was received by the Republicans
said be did not believe tbey were in favor
of It Tbe general sentiment expressed
at tbe conference last week was be said
that if any time was needed beyond tbe
limits ot tbe short session the president
should Issue his proclamation convening
congress In extra session
Senator Pierce said be was satisfied tbe
president would not call an extra session
of congress Edmunds resolution the
senator thought could have for its ulti
mate object only one thing tbe passage
nt the election bill The Democrats
would see that aud they could and would
talk tbe resolution to death to prevent
action on tbe bill
The president is empowered under cer
tain conditions of things to do just what
Senator Edmunds resolution proposes
In case the two bouses should fail to
agree upon a date for adjournment sec
tion 3 of article 2 relating to the cowers
and duties ot the president says be may
on an extraordinary occasion convene
both booses or either of them and in
TOL XIV NO 321
case of disagreement between them with
respect to time ot adjournment he may
adjourn tbem to such time us he shall
think proper Mr Fdmnnds says be
will uot call up his resolution for several
davs the time depending upon progress
with the tariff debute
