How to Repeal the Mckinley
Bill.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Tie present Republican Congress
can repeal or modify essentially
the Mckinley act if 1t feels so dis.
posed before the 4th of March next.
A majority of the Western Re-
publican members, actl ng with the
Democrats, can do it. But if the
Republican mem bers refuse to re-
peal it when the new Congress
meets in December, 1891, the
Democrats undoubtedly will pass .
bill through the House repeating it,
and with the aid of two or three
anti-Mckiniey bill Republican
Senators can pass it in the Senate.
Whether President Harrison would
veto such a repeal bill our cor
respondent can guess just as well
as the Tribune If he should veto
a repeal bill the Mckinley act will
remain on the statute books until
March 5, 1898, when the new
administration will call session
of Congress together to wipe it of
the statute books.

G. Is. MORRIS ASSIGNS.
His Stock Will be Sold at Once
and all Creditors Paid.

c. B Morris, one o. Mexico's
jewellers, has made an assignment
to his father, Geo. A. Morris. The
credit system Is said to be the
cause of the failure. His assets
are likely to equal the liabilities
The stock will at once be sold and
the creditors all paid as fully as
possible. If Charley could collect
what is due on his books he could
settle in full.
