Destitutton in ,outh Dakota.

Lieut.. Gov Fletcher, asked regarding
destitution among South Dakota farmers,
said: ayes, there is restitution in South
Dakota all reports to the contrary not
withstanding. And what is more, cannot
see the wisdom of attempting to cover up
these facts or being at all mealy- mouthed
about the business If they are the
truth they are bound to out, no matter
how much any so-calIed boomers may at
tempt to cover them up. And what is more,
1 cannot see how by making these thin IS
publicly known anything but good can re-
suit 1t is not to be supposed that any one
is coming here without investigating the
condition of affairs, or that we want any
body to come in any other way. 1t is a
misfortune that there is restitution, but it
will only be temporary"

pending.
In the Senate, the election bill was again
taken up on the Sth, and Mr.. Hoar of Mas
sachusetts moved to terminate the debate
on Friday. Mr.. GormOn of Maryland OPP
posed the motion, and said: ave stand to-
day, Mr.. President, on a volcano. We
have heard the discussion as to the starving
Indians but we take no note it appears, of
the fact that the farmers of the land are
meeting and resolving that there IS danger
and trouble. if not starvation, among them.
The labor of the country appeals to
the admin istration and to Congress to
stay this awful wreck. The faces of the
bankers and merchants are blanched with
fear No man can tell whether tomorrow
or next day every bank in the great centers
of commerce will not be closed by the sus-
pension of payment. And now in the midst
of such a state of affairs, we who came
here flushed with victory had the
hope that the majority party in
the Senate would give us OPP
portunity to join with it ia preventing the
wreck which is now impending. But the
Senator from Massachusetts, since the sec
Ond day of the session, has continued to
keep this bill before the body day by day
and hour by hour refusing even the usual
time of adjournment from Friday until
Monday. He asked that the Republic
cans lay aside this partisan measure
and join with the Democrats in some meas
ure of financial relief. In the House, Mr.
Mckinley reported from the Ways and

MCCARTHY SUCCEEDS pARNE1L.
He Is Chosen Leader of the Majority o
taae Irish Party.

He Is Chosen Leader of the Majority of
the Irish Party
After a long and bitter struggle ParnelI
has been deposed .byaa majority of the Irish
members of Parliament The result is the
outcome of the OiShea divorce case, in
which Mr.. Parnell figured as the cc-respon
dent. At the final meeting of the party
forty-four members withdrew with Justin
Mccarthy, and chose the latter
for leader. Twenty seven remained
with Parnell. A letter from the archbishops
and bishops was read in all the Catholic
churches in Ireland after the celebration Of
the mass Sunday This letter bitterly de-
nounced Parnell and said that because of
what was proved against him i'm the divorce
case he was unfit to lead the Irish people.
At st. Colman;s Cathedral, Queens
town, after the letter had been read, the
Rev. Father FislEraddressed the congrega-
tion. He declared that it was no longer
possible for ParneIl to remain at the head
of the Irish party. He had disgraced, dis
honored and degraded himself by his own
acts and could not lead the smallest section
of the Irish people. In refusing to recog-
nize the authority of the Bishops Parnell
was doing incalculable mischief to the
Irish cause, was performing the work of
the enemy, and was rendering the people
disunited and distracted. The Mayor
OF Cork after hearing of the secession of
the Mccarthy party, sent the following dis
patch to John O'Connor. @Ireland won't
allow England to select her leader. This
right belongs to Ireland. The Irish won't
stand GIadstone's dictation.n At the Cath
Ollie church in Mitchelstown the officiating
priest, after reading the declarations of the
hierarchy, warned the supporters of Parnell
throughout his district not to defy their
spiritual superiors

ANOTHER BIG FAILURE.
The Great Cotton House of v. A.
Never Forced to Suspend.

Meyer Forced to suspend.
The cotton house of V. & A. Meyer at
New Orleans has suspended, with liabilities
aggregating 50, 500, 600 and assets $4,000, 600.
This is the third largest cotton house in the
country and supposed to be one of the
wealthiest. They will ask for an extension
and say they will pay dollar for dollar. The
recent financial panic, the slowness of col
lections and the decline in the price
of cotton each had it's share in the result.
The house is composed of Victor Meyer,
Vice President of the Union National Bank,
Adolph Meyer, recently elected to Congress
from the First Louisiana District, and
Cassius Meyer, capitalist. The firm was in
terested in twenty-five or thirty cotton
plantations and owned half dozen of the
best sugar plantations in Louisiana.
