Central Committee Meeting.
A meeting of the Democratic Cen
tral Committee ia hereby called for
Thursday July 4th, at the court
house in Butler, at 2 o'clock, to con
sider such matters as may be
brought before it. T. K. Lisle,
Chairman.
Georgia will hold a state silver
convention, July 18th. Speaker
Crisp is at the head of the move
ment.
Gov. Altgeld has reconvened the
Illinois legislature, and the gang of
rascals will have another tussle with
the lobby.
One great trouble with the third
party is to find a name for itself,
All that it has tried are in bad odor,
and it would be well to adopt one
that will stick. The most appropri
ate name that could be selected is
the Destructives. This means some
thing and is warranted to weir.

C. B. Birch, cash receiverfor the
West Chacago street railway .'com
pany, wass hot to death by a burglar
who entered his office (Saturday.
The burglar secured a'small amount
of money in cashier's drawer, but in
his haste overlooked $5,000 which
was in the safe which stood open.
The county seat war has again
broken out between Eldorado
Springs and Stockton, over a divi
sion of the courts of Cedar county,
and the matter will have to be set
tied by the supreme court at the
cost of both towns of considerable
money. The last legislature gave
Eldorado Springs a division of the
circuit court, and when a day or so
ago the circuit clerk started for El
dorado to open an office injunction
papers were filed by Stockton and
the clerk was stopped.
t Suit has been brought at Jefferson
City, asking for a writ'of prohibition
to prevent the Secretary of State
from submitting to the qualified
voters of the State the concurrent
resolution providing for the removal
of the State capital to Sedalia. One
point raised is that the removal
resolution is invalid because it does
not provide that it shall go into ef
fect as an operative amendment to
the constitution. Anotherpoint is
that such an amendment to the con
stitution would be in the nature of
invalidating a contract between the
State and Government. Under an
aet of Congress six sections of land
were granted the State to aid in
building a permanent 'seat of Gov
ernment. This land was accepted
by the State, and sold, and the pro
ceeds applied to constructing a
State house in this city. The case
will be argued eorne time next month
before Judge Shackleford.
The National Republican League
meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, dodged
all the issues, and resolved to say or
do nothing that could be construed
in any way to forestall issues for
the national convention of 1896.
The silver element in the convention
was the stumbling block on which
the League foundered. The gold
standard men were not satisfied, but
could not see any way to do any
thing better than to adopt the
Fatten substitute for the resolutions.
The free silver element of the League
was elated. They say if free silver
was not adopted by the League,
nothing else was, and that indicated
that the republicans concede that
they can not get along "without
the western states. The silver wing
of the party claimed to have
received more advantage than was
ever expected. It is well known
that telegrams were received from
presidential aspirants and leading
republicans in all parts of the coun
try, suggesting to the convention
that any motion on silver would be
dangerous, and it is said these ad
Tiees had a decided effect on the
cold wing of the convention in bar-
isg nothing done, in the way of
endorsing a gold standard.
Well, it begins to look as though
a democratic state convention is to
be held to give the party a chance
to declare itself on the silver ques
tion. Chairman Maffit has announced
that he will again call the commit
tee together if petitioned by a
majority of the chairmen of the
county committees, and as a majority
of the counties have held conven
tions and declared for silver and a
state convention, it is a mere matter
of time when the state committee
will call a convention. The date will
not be later than the middle of
August. It is announced that to
select delegates simultaneous county
conventions will be held throughout
the state.
Under Democratic Administration.
We quote from Bradstreet's, un
der the head of Current Business:
"The perversity of political events
has rarely received more forcible
illustration than it is receiving now.
After a whole generation of expe
riencing the beauties and beneficence
of a high tariff, the American people
deliberately condemn the system
and call for the adoption of a radi
cally different policy. Such strong
headedness is truly startling. But
worse than all else, it is under a
wicked democratic administration
that there is occurring an industrial
and commercial revival which prom
ises to surpass any the country has
known before. Of course political
economists declared with one voice
that the adoption of a tariff for rev
enue policy would be followed by
just such state of affaire; but the
political economists are mere theo
rists, visionaries, doctrinattes, and it
really is distressing that the course
of events should seem to lend sanc
tion to their outlandish notions.
Men and brethren, what shall we do
to be saved from the flood of pros
perity that threatens to sweep Mc
Kinleyism from the face of the earth?
Small Hoy Hangs Himself.
Quincy, Illinois, June 20. Ralph
Turner, a bright 13 year-old boy,
committed suicide here yesterday by
hanging himself in the attic of his
parents' home. The boy had been
playing iu the wet grass, and his
mother called him into the house to
give him a scolding. The boy went
sulking into the attic, and twenty
minutes later was found dead. He
had used a large United States flag
for a rope, having twisted it, and a
chair was found tipped over under
his body. Mrs. Turner does not
believe that her son meant to sui
cide. It is her opinion that he tried
to scare her, but went too far.
Killed the Man Who Insulted Her.
Birmingham, Ala., June 20.
Bruce Flanigan, son of the proprie
tress of the leading hotel at Green
wood Springs, was shot and instantly
killed last night by Mrs. Frank
Dean, who lives near the hotel.
Last evening Flanigan went to the
Dean residence while Mr. Dean was
absent, and, it is alleged, addressed
Mrs. Dean in an insulting manner.
He was armed The woman dis
armed the young man, and with the
same weapon shot him in the head,
killing him instantly To make
sure of her work she secured her
husband's shot gun and discharged
both barrels into the dead man's
breast. She was not arrested.
New Laws to Take Effect To-day.
Jefferson City, Me., June 20.
All the laws passed by the Thirty
eighth General Assembly go into
effect to morrow. One of the most
important of tha new statutes is
one which imposes a tax of 25c on
each $1,000 of capital of a proposed
corporation, which must be paid into
the State Treasury before articles
can be filed with the Secretary of
State or eyidence of incorporation
issued. This law was drawn by
Senator C. E Yeater, and is design
ed chiefly to get a tax from increases
of capital stock, which under the
old law were exempt. The Julian
franchise law is another impertant
law effective after tomorrow.
The late general assembly passed
an act which will enable the
banks to shut up at noon on Satur
days, and making all notes and ne
gotiable paper generally becoming
due after that hour payable Monday
morning without extra interest This
act is similar to laws already in force
in the east In other words, Satur
day, as a banking day, expires legally
at noon- Ex.

Louisville, Ky. June 25 The ad-
ministration and Secretary Carlisle
were certainly favorites in the Dem
ocratic State convention here to day.
The silverites went into the district
meetings in the morning and into
the convention at noon with confi
dence. Iu the district meetings they
were beaten two to one. Thev
claimed four out of the eleven dis
trict members of the committee on
resolutions, but the administration
men claim that the committee stood
eight to the three originally against
free silver, and as completed nine to
four.
The complexion of the committee j
could not have been changed by the
appointment of both members at
large from the silverites. But when
Judge W. M. Breckner,as temporary
chairman, divided the members at
large, giving one of the two to each
side, the silver men felt that they
had been outclassed, although they
would not confess to being outnum
bered. They claimed a victory in
the election of Breckner over Stone,
but after the former divided the ap
pointments equally on all the com
mittees aud annouced his conserva
tive views, no claims were made on
him. Stone -would have ap
pointed only ''sound money" men on
the committee. Judge Breckner is
a '"sound money'" man, but favored
General Hardin for Governor. Al
though General Hardin fayors free
coinage, he has been supported
throughout by many who insist on a
sound money platform for him.
The silver men on the committee
oa resolutions are: First district,
Augustus Coulter; second, W. T.
Ellis; third, John S. Rhea; at large,
J. D. Clardy. The gold men on the
committee are: Fourth district, E.
D. Walker; fifth, J. X. Atherton;
sixth, R. A. Ellison; seventh, Arthur
Yeager; eighth, James B. McCreary;
ninty, John F. Haager; tenth, John
P. Salver; eleventh, R. M. Jackson;
at large, Senator William Lindsay.
The feature of the day was the de
feat in his home district', of Senator
J. C S Blackburn for member of
the committee on resolutions by
Prof. Arthur Yeager, a man of pro
nounced gold standard views, but
who has devoted his time to college
work and not to politics. Senator
Blackburn aspired to the chairman
ship of this committee and expected
to have a majority of its members
with him for free coinage and
against Cleveland and Carlisle.
The election of a temporary chair
man was announced as the first
thing in order. The names of ex
Congressman W. J. Stone and Judge
W. X. Breckner were presented for
temporary chairman when the roll
of 119 counties was called.
The roll call proceeded with tll
orts of points of order and dilatory
confusion for over an hour, when
the result was announced at 2 o'clock
as follows: Breckner, 44S; Stone,
420. The total vote was 879, but
it was not all cast owing to contests;
necessary to choice, 440. The elec
tion of Breckner as the temporary
presiding officer was made unani"
mous and a committee appointed to
escort him to the chair.
As the combination of Hardin for
Governor and the silverites support
ed Breckner, and the combination of
Clay for Governor and the "sound
monev men" supported Stone, the
result of the selection of temporary
chairman was received with cheers
as a direct advantage for Hardin
and indirectly an advantage for the
silver men, who had been oeaten in
the forenoon in the district meetings
On assuming the chair Judge
Brecknor delivered an eloquent ad
dress, and assured all that he repre
sented no faction and would rule
with impartiality. He pleaded for
harmony. That part of the addrees
relating to the financial question
was not displeasing to the "sound
money" and not altogether satisfac
tory to the free coinage men
The committee on permanent or
ganization reported Congressman
A, S. Berry for permanent chairman
and other oRcers were adopted. Mr.

Berry made a vigorous speech on
taking the chair.
The committee on resolutions was
ready to report at 9 p. m., but de
layed it's report awaiting the out
come of the credentials while fight
ing over contests among the dele
gates froai Louisville and Xewport.
Senator Lindsay prepared the
majority report on tesolutious,
which embraced a strong, honest
money plank and indorsed Cleveland
and Carlisle by name for their finan
cial policy and administrations. It
was signed by nine of the thirteen
members of the committee. There
were two minority reports, one
signed by Rhea and Ellis for the
!ree coinage of silver tit 1(! to 1, and
the other simply reaffirming the
platform of 1892, signed by Clardy
and Coulter.
