off of the programme, but stated
that he could not conscientiously
attend if conducted in any dis
tinctive manner. Another Minister
would read the Psalms suggested
but declined, kindly, to read them
from the leafet. After calm con-
sideration, foreseeing that some
confusion would be caused and
perhaps some unpleasant feeling
engendered, and having learned
that another preacher could be
found on short notice to fill his
place, Rev. s. II. Green concluded
that the wisest and best thing to
be done was to ask Presi-
dent Blanton to excuse him
and the Rector Of the Parish from
the duties assigned and permit
them to occupy seats in the con-
gregation.
Mr.. Garfield, the Rector, has
throughout the whole matter
tried to act for the welfare of the
church Of which he is the repre-
sentative in KirksviJl, and as a
conscientious and faithful Priest.
No one in the community can say
that he has been unwilling to make
every concession which he could
make and to accept any compro-
mise which would not conflict
with obedience to his vows as a
minister of the Episcopal church.
He has met his brethren more
than half way, no man could have
done more. For the above rea-
sons 1 respectfully declined to
preach the Raccalaureats Sermon.

OUR PACIFIC COAST COMMERCE.

The evidence given recently be-
fore the Senate Committe on
Canadian Relations at Tacoma
W. T., is of great Importance and
should enable that body to devise
some practicable means before the
next meeting Of Congress for the
protection and encouragement of
our commerce on the Pacific Coast.
1t was shown that the British
Government by subsidizing sever
al lines of steamers diverted to
the Canadian Pacific Coast Rail
road vast amount Of traffic which
would otherwise come to US, and
thus benefted.its own seaports at
our expense. As one of the wit
nesses remarked, eve have the
spectacle of foreign road, built
as a military connection by the
British Government, and subsid-
lied by British money, Thriving
on American business to the
detrimeLt of our own national
commerce" This road, it was add
ed, could not continue in operation
without American business.
1t is not creditable to our legis-
lators that such a condition of
things should exist, and ii should
be altered as speedily as possible.
Wbateyer measures are necessary
to improve and develop the cen-
merce of our Western coast ought
to be adopted without hesitation,
and the British should no longer
be allowed to profit by our
supinenesss or by our unwilling
ness to meet them with their own
weapons. 1t is better that we
should even do as they have done
-subsidize steamboat ines-than
allow them to ruin orr Pacific
Coast commerce.

FARMERS, CONGRESS.
The Gathering at Montgomery. Ala, Well
Attended-Papers and Resolutions

The Gathering at Montgomery, Ala, Well
Attended-Pspers and Resolutions
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 16.-The
second days session of the farmers
congress was well attended. At the
morning session Judge Lawrence, of
Ohio. president of the Wool Growers
Association, on behalf of majority
| of the committee on resolutions, re-
ported resolution demanding that in
case the protective policy should be
continued, all farm products should be
as fully protected as any article Of
manufacture. Mr. Wilhite, of Mis-
souri,, offered a minority report pledg-
| ing the farmers of the United States to
a reduction of the tariff and to change
of duties from the necessaries To the
luXuries of life as far aspossible. Both
reports were laid over
Judge Lawrence offered resolutions
to the effect that the Government did
not need the revenue raised by the tax
on spirits and that the question should
be relegated to the States; also favor
ing the repeal of the tax on tobacco.
Both resolutions were reported ad-
versely by the committee.
Hon. L. S. Coffin delivered an address
on railroads and their relations to the
farmer. The speaker was sharply
criticised by number of delegates as
being too much in sympathy with rail-
roads and corporations.
Judge Lawrence read paper on
wool growing and mutton producing,
pointing out the great benefit which
| would arise to the people from in
creased sheep raising and urging pro-
lection for this interest. His address
was followed by some adverse discus
sion. One delegate cited an instance
Of an investment of s1.107 in sheep
which paid profit of over 40 per cent.
in one year, which he said set this in
dustry beyond the need of protecting
tariff
Many speeches We're made by dele
gates from the North and West, all
advocating wool protection.
The farmers congress, after a heated
debate last evening. adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by John
Kelly, of Kansas: Resolved. BY the

the action of the Chicago combine in
refusing to testify before the Senate
committee was an insult TO the honest
people OF the United States and should

SILVER ADVOCATES,
Close of the Denver silver Convention
Resolutions Against the Dem szs stizatio

Close of the Denver silver Couventiou-
Resolutions Against the Dem - stization
of silver.
DENVER. Col. Nov. l5.-The silver
convention adjourned yesterday after
noon. Apermanent organization was
formed, which will be known as the
Colorado Silver Association. Hon. 5.
A. ". Tabor was made president and a
vice-president was chosen from each
county in the State.
The preamble preceding series Of
resolutions adopted states that it is the
opinion of the people that the demone-
tiZation of silver sixteen years ago by
this country and foreign powers was
the result of conspiracy of
the few against the MANY. of the
creditor class against the debtor class,
of the consumers against the pro-
ducers, of the idlers against the work
ers; that since the time mentioned the
period has been marked by constantly
declining prices of staple commodities
and of all the products of the farm and
shop and also taking from the pro-
ducers three per cent. of their gross
products: that this condition of things
has now been traced by the NEST
careful and reliable Observers of
the world to the destruction of more
than one-half of the standard money,
thereby increasing the use of or de-
mand for gold; and that efforts to
remedy the ill-timed action have been
met with prediction of evil to the
people and to the Nation. The decla-
ratioDs are in substance that the
only remedy is to restore the coinage
system in effect prior to 1883, to re-
monetize silver and provide for its COIN
age to the maximum of $1,000, 600 per
month at present and as soon as Con-
gresS can pass law to that effect the
coinage shall be made unlimited in
amount. This viii increase prosperity,
remove the stringency from the money
market and advance the value of
products.
