Upon inquiring I learn tbat the) Chicago and Alton railroad is not in| the hands of a receiver or in any way under the States courts. kuow upon control of what theory suppress disorder and preserve the peace in the case alluded to T entertain every proper respect for Federal authority, and when act ing within its proper limitations, none will go further than I to up hold it. I wish, however, to say that the State of Missouri is entirely capable of controlling its domestic affairs without the assistance of the general government, or, at least, if such assistance is desired, it will be called for in due time and in a egn- stitutional way. No notice whatever has been given to me that any seri ous disturbance exists at Slater. or shat the situation there cannot be eontrolled by the local authorities. { have this day written the sheriff of Sbat county requesting him to report the status of the case to me. The right of the Chicago and Al- ton railroad to run its trains over its sracks without unlawful interference sr obstruction is beyond question. The rights of the railroad company and those of all interests and indi- vidwals on both sides of the pending controversy can be, and will be, up held by the strong arm of this State. I object to the Federal authority in teresting itself upon the administra tion of the local affairs of this com moawealth except where there isa grave emergency of such great dimensions that the State shall find itself unable to contend witn it, and in that event we will ask the Federal government to lend us a helping band. I think the practice an exceedingly bad one of having United States of ficers constantly participating inpub- lie affairs which do not concern them, or, at least, only remotely concern them. The notion of appeal ing to the Federal government for everything is one I am so utterly opposed to as being wrong in prac tice and contrary to the spiri! and genius of our institutions that I wish to give expression to these views to you. I entertain the hope that there will be no difference between us in our respective views touching the proper relation that should exist between the State and Federal au- thority in matters of this kind. My high personal regard for you assures me that you would not be willing by forced construction to extend the authority of your office to the discredit of the authority of the State. Very respectfully, Wa. J. Stone, Governor. It is reported that had General Shelby replied immediately upon re ceipt of this letter he would haye expressed himself in three short, emphatic words. After an hour's re- Section, however, he wrote and mail ed this: Hon. W. J. Stone, Governor of Mis- souri.

C., July 3.—After | thirteen hours’ continuous ses the Senate passed the tariff bill to- night by a majority of five. For the | past few days there had been a stolid determination on the part of the Democratic managers to pase the bill before the Fourth of July, and when an adjournment was taken Saturday, Senator Harris, the floor manager of the bill asserted that the tariff reform eagle would surely scream lustily on the glorious Fourth and so it will. END OF | of Five i THE STRUGGLE. In the midst of intense excitement at 10:45 to night, after having been debated for three months and one day, the tariff bill, amended to take etfect August 1 1894, passed the Senate by a vote of 34 to 39, a strict party vote except Mr. Hill, who voted with the Republicans against the measure. The Populists divid ed their strength, two, Messrs Kyle and Allen voting in favor of the bill, and two, Messrs. Peffer and Stewart against it At the very opening of the last day of the great struggle, Mr. Har- vis, the veteran parliamentarian in charge of the bill, aunounced that it would pass today, the July 3, or there would be no Fourth of July for the Senate of the United States. A hard but hopelss,;fight was made by the Republicans under the leadership of Mr. Sherman to place wool on the dutiable list. Through tue instrumentality of Mr. McLaurin (Democrat) of Mississippi the action of the committee of the whole in ex empting the salaries of United States judges and the President of the United States from the operation of of the income tax wus reserved in the Senate. A very important piece of legislation in the shape of an anti trust law was placed on the bill as a rider, without even sc much as a division. It was designed, as Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, said, to insure “integrity in the execution of the law,” it be- ing admitted that any tariff system afforded abundant opportunity the formation of trusts and Dines. | The amendment to section 71, re- pealing the reciprocity clause of the McKinley law, declaring the repeal should not be construed to abrogate reciprocal arrangements now in ex istence, was agreed to. This was the last of the amendments adopted in committee of the whole. Mr. Jones then, on behalf of the com- mittee, proposed the amendment changing the date on which the bill should go into effect from June 30 to August 1, 1894, which was agreed to. Mr. Allen offered an amendment to paragraph 182, repealing the su- gar bounty, in the sbape of a provi- so bounty in force until January 1, 1995, to the extent of paying the for com defeated by a vote Uf 50 to 22. and elsewhere in this district were| passed by a vote of 39 to 34. and are by unlawful means obstruct-|The vote, then announced by the/ goods.—Jefferson City Tribune. carrying the Ucited Federal ministerial mail action, on | was bo the correctness ey General is proceeding in this, o'clock. matter, I respectfully suggest, if you, are in search of light upon this sub H .| ject that you make inquiry directly | sion; | | growers of sugarand maple syrup nine-tenths of 1 cent on sugar test- This was the amendunient of which notice was | given by Mr. Jones on bebalf of the finance committee yesterday.

Ou March 4 of that year Presi-| | dent Harrison was inaugurated, a \the fiseal year ended June 30, three | |months later. For the fiscal year | which ended June 30, 1892, the last| | complete year of the Haniees ad-} ministration, the ordinary expenses | of the government exclusive of inter- | | jest on the public debt were $36. 773,905, an increase of $66,465, When President Harrison entered | | jupon his duties there was a surplus in the Treasury of upward of $1v0,- 000,000. At the close of his term there was a deficit of $50,¢00,000, | besides over-due and unpaid obliga-| tions amounting to about $10,000,- 000.

But to make it plainer, | suppose it was a bank witha capital | of say $200,000 that was concerned, | and the excess of expenditures was} 340,000 a year instead of $40,000, 000. In four years the excess would} amount to four fifths of the capital, the credit of the concern would be ruined and bankruptcy would be in- evitable and only a matter of a short time. That is precisely the situation | in which the Harrison administration left the government. The panic was an inevitable consequence, and the work of recuperation has been going on since.—Kansas City Times The Silver Issue. At the Denver meeting of the re- publi national league a resolu- tion was adopted demanding that the full use and highest position of silver be restored. If this means anything at all, it means that silver should be coined free and unlimited and ata fixed ratio. On the same day the Illinois democrats declared for free silver and the Pennsylvania democrats adopted a resolution en- dorsing silver coinage. All such proceedings go to show that people do not consider the sil ver question settled, and that they propose in the end to have silver coined with as littie restriction as gold and on a definite, ratio of value. It is said that there is even a strong sentiment among the citi zens of the New England states in favor of the free coinage of silver and that the New England represen- tatives in congress only represent the brokers and money-lenders. However this may be, there is a sentiment outside of the New Eng- land states strong enough to rule. A few months ago the eastern re- publicans were chuckling over the prospects of a division in the demo cratic party on the silver question, and now they find themselves con frouted with a worse condition than they had ever hoped to see encom- pass the democratic party. With ex-Speaker Reed and his followers shouting for free silver in the north- east, and the republican western states making the most imperative demands in the same direction, the republican who mortgaged the party to Wall street are in a fair way to find themselves unable to deliver the }pay tox | gant expenditures of the government idecreed by a | the elections of 1890 and The Democracy And The Je Peop! e.

The sole reason that a just tariff reform bill has not become a law be- fore this time is that there is in fact no real democratic majority in the senate. It is likely, then, that the people will elect a republican congress next time, and so surrender all hope of reform, or that they will again em- phasize their desire for reform and patiently set to work to secure it by electing legislatures that will send real democrats to the senate. It will be time enough for a re- turn to the republican class legisla- tion when the democrat system of legislation for the common benetit of the people shall have been tried and found wanting. If there was any significance in 1892, the next congress should be democratic. N.Y. World. N paint the best isthe cheapest.
