pal districts were read and were altogether

of the church.
NO ALLUsIoN TO THE RACE QUESTION.
No aliusion was made to the race question
save In the discussion as to the selection of
the next place of meeting. Selma, Ala.
had been decided upon at the last session as
the place. but the conference changed its
mind, and selected Philadelphia. As a
reason for this it was urged that the race
prejudice at Selma was an insuperable OBJ
lection. Alluson was made to the perse-
cution of the Rev. NJ. Z. Bryant, who, it is
said, was forced to leave that city.
Services were held in one of the churches
tonight, at which Bishop Tanner preached
There was no allusion to the race problem il
| his sermon.

LONDON, Jan. 29-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, speaking at Chester tonight, replied
to the speech of Mr.. Gladstone delivered at
the same place on Jan. y. He ridiculed
Mr.. Gladstone's declaration that the Liberal
party stood upon conviction and not upon
influence, and said the whole party strictly
followed Mr.. Gladstone like a flock OF
sheep. He was disappointed at Mr.. Glad
stones coyness as to any declaration Of
the future policy of his party, but thought
it was probably due to his fear of widening
the gulf between himself and the radicals.
He recognized MIR. Gladstone's generosity In
his reference to the dispute with Portugal,
and his statement of the proper
attitude Of an opposition party on
such an occasion. The government, he
said, had no option but to act as it did IN
that case He otherwise defended the gov
eminent generally against Mr.. Gladstones
criticisms.

Twelve Apostles of reform. e
st. Louis Republic,

Senator Cockrell's hearty approval of
the Republics plan OF tariff reform is
another gratifying evidence of its feast
bihfv and popularity. Though we have
heard publicly from men like Messrs.
Vest, Cockrell and Springer, we have
heard nothing except hearty commenda-
ton of the plan. nor do we expect any
thing else except from those who are
either openly or secretly in favor of
maintaining the Mckinley tariff of
denominations.
The plan is so simple that it can be I'M
derstool at once by all, even by those
who have never considered the tariff
question as a whole. 1t involves nothing
more than a number of separate bills,
each dealing with a single article Of
trade now controlled by monopOlies.
No general bill would be introduced.
Each of these separate bills would stand
on Its own merits, just as did the single
bill which put qpinine on the free list,
broke down the quinine monopoly, and
reduced the price of the drug from prices
ranging as high as 81 an ounce to prices
ranging as low as forty cents.
In suggesting somewhat indefinite
numbe of such antitrust bills we spoke
Oh u uOZen sepdTdte treasures, duu
Congressman Springer christened them
for Us as ''The Twelve Apostles of
Reform.'' Below we give then, tents-
lively:
l. Free binder Irvine.
2. Free cotton ties.
3. Free worsteds for men aud women's
clothing.
4. Free agricultural implements and
edged tools.
5. Free blankets.
6. Free coal.
Z. Free tin and tin plates.
s. Free bearing led ore to re-es-
tabiish our trade with Mexica.
8. Free lumber.
10. A reduction to the "revenue
only' basis on table and kitchen ware.
IL. Free white lead and paints.
II. Free barbed wire and wire rods for
fences.
We doubt il a single one of these bills
could be defeated by the senate. The
Repu lican senators from Western states
have learned great deal since the Me
KiDlev bill was framed. Pennsylvania
would of course resist the free coal bill,
but New England would support 1t. So,
too, would Illinois and Ohio, if it con-
.taQ4Aed q reciprocity clause giving our
Western coal q chance to get into our
section OF Canada in exchange for Civ
ing New England free coal from Nova
Scotia. The White Lead trust, the Bin
der Irvine trust; the Edged Tool trust
and the other monopolies thus attacked
would of course use their combined in
fuence aGains. each and all of the bills,
but failing of the sectional support they
are reinforced by, on general reform
measure, they would not be able to de-
feat the strong Western demand for re-
form.
So we send out these twelve Apostles
on their reform mission, confident that
their work will not be fruitless one.
The best part Of the plan, however, is
that it prescribes nothing except that
each article shall be dealt with in its own
bill

Censorssip of the PrrsS.
Lexington { Ny.l Press, Nov.

Lex nSton Ay.) Pre5s, NOV. D.
Under the lottery law framed by con-
gress and the instructions given by the
postmaster-gerpral to his subordna ties
throughout the country, there is serious
danger of eprroachments on the liberty
of the press thar should be rebuked and
opposed by the newspapers of the coun-
try without regard to party lines.
These postmuster5 are instructed to act
as censors and inspect all second ella, 5
matter, and whenever the postmaster
finds what he considers unlawful matter,
or even suspects that articles are of that
character, he is authorized TO suppress
the publication and refuse it passage
through the mails.
This dangerous innovation is claimed
under the speciOus pretext of SURPRISING
lottery advertisements, and so fur the
public seems TO acquese without pro-
test against this new assumption of
power. IL this step meets with popular
favor then the next move will be to ex-
anime first-rlass matter, br, aking the
seals OF letters In seach OF contraband
publications or writings. If that be az
omplishei then We will rapidly FORGET
the louisiana state lottery in the multi
tude of 81 ounis upon which these post
masters can act as censors of press and
people.

Special to the Gazette
GUTHRIE, o. T., Nov. l6.-The
Slocum- Nepple scandal has found its
present termination by both parties re-
turning to Guthrie within the last
twenty four hours. Each have their
''tale of woe'' to relate as to their
abuses. Mrs. Nepple claims she was
deserted by the doctor, and that as soon
as sh, became aware Of the deception
she proceeded to do the honorable by
escaping and returning to her husband
and family as pure as when she lett.
Sne was received by her husband, who,
1t is claimed, put up $500 to quiet the
affair. Slocum has not made himself
conspicuous on the streets since his re-
turn, but seems to prefer seciusion in
some retreat unknown to your cor
respondent. 1t is learned, however,
that he offers an explanation which, he
claims, will vindicate him in the estima-
ton of the people. The goods taken by
SlOcum have been returned, and the
losing parties are seemingly satisfied.
Further developments are expected.
George A. White, a recent promin ent
business man OF this city, died suddenly
this afternoon from what is supposed to
have been heart disease or apoplexy.
He was out in town apparently we'll,
when he was stricken fatally as above
stated dying before medical aid could
be procured. The deceased has figured
prominently in business circles since the
startiug-up Of Guthrie, and leaves an
estate valued at $40 900. So far as
known he has no family.

The late election precipitated q shower
Of Democratic candidates for speaker of
The house in the Fifty-second congress.
II Carlisle had not been raised to the
SENATE, there would probably be but Il
single candidate, where there are q
dozen. 4 majority OF the candidates
Come from the South, circumstance
perfectly natural when it is remembered
that minority o! the most able aud ez-
p"rieuced members come from that sec
zion.
Crisp of Georgia is candidate, and
would make M excellent speaker.
Breckenridge of Kentucky, the most
chaste and captivating orator of the
house, is another who would adorn the
chair.
Ashur q. Caruth of the same state, an
able and experienced member, would
WELD the gavel gracefully.
So would Congressman Hatch of Mis-
souri,, who aspires TO the honor, and Will
son Of West Virginia, whose brilliant
parts and alitical knowledge have placed
him in the l'ont ranks OF his party. He
too would DO credit TO his party and fill
the chair with distinction.
Last but not least among the Southern
candidates 10 Roger q. Mills of Texas,
who is a candidate. 1t goes without say
ing that MIR. Mills would make a splendid
speaker, as much go rs any man in his
party, aud II Southern man is to have
that honor. his claims upon it are supe-
rior to those OF any other.
But IL Is ii moated question whether
or not it is advisable 10 put Southern
man in the chair; whether it might not
be well TO make some concession 10 the
still lingering sectional spirit in the
North, and take from party leaders the
opportunity OF appealing TO It on the
Score OF speakership ut the approach
ing presidential election. MIR Mills as
mittee could render the country aud his
party great service in framing and ex-
pounding the new tariff Llll to be intro
ddced. So N least, many good Demo-
Gratis think who would be glad to see bin
Ia the speakers chair, but who feel that
It would be wiser TO put Northern man
there.
Springer of Illinois and Byuum of
Indiana are both candidates, as Is elso
Outhwaite 4 Ohio-all good meu aud
excellent material for the speakership,
the first two especially.
There would be, rs somebody has sug-
gestel, a sort of retributive justice in
elera,:ng Eynum 10 the chair, because
OF the manly AMI courageous manner in
which lac faced the buIIdoz!ng Reed, aTd
assured him that he would wear the CEN
sure OF the house visited upon him as "a
bulge of honor.
II the speakership shall go to q North
srn man. it will probably be TO Bynun,
than whom no nervier, brighter or more
capable member can be found coming
from that section.
