NEW York, Nav 19.-R. G. Dun & CO..
weekly review of trade says:
The stock market has rushed ahead until 1t
has absorbed all the money within reach,
and now some signs of reaction appear, with
a little selling by foreign holders. Substan-
tally the same phenomena have been OBJ
served In wheat and corn and in the market
for pork products. Each has at command a
limited amount of money. When that supply
is absorbed, whether by accumulation of
stocks carried or by advancing prices, re-
action is natural. The tendency of prices
during the past week has been downward.
Wheat declined 2 cents on sales here of
only "a, 900 OOO bushels; corn l cent on sales
of II, 100000 bushels, while oats are steady.
The trade begins to comprehend that in
side of thirty days a new crop of wheat will
begin to come into the market, and while
winter wheat is certain to be short, the re-
ports from spring wheat states indicate great
increase in acreage and good condition.
At Chicago dry goods sales exceed last
years, and payments are fair. but the cloth
ing trade is dull and the fact that bank clear
ings are larger than ever before finds ex-
PLANTATION in speculative activity In the grain
and pork markets.
st. Louis reports good trade and supplies
of money equal to the demand.
At Kansas City trade is rather quiet, and at
Omaha good, with easy money.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days number
212, as compared with 300 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year the figures
were 242.

The Cherokees Claimed to Constitute Sow
ereign State, Which Folly is SqueIched
by This Decision Over the Grant
to n Railroad.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.-An opinion
has been rendered in the supreme court of
the United States affirming the judgment
of the circuit court of the United States for
western district of Arkansas in favor of the
Southern Kansas railroad against the Chero-
kee nation. The Cherokees contenjed that
an act of Congress granting the railway right
of way through the Indian territory was void
on the ground that the Cherokee nation were
as a sovereign state, and that the United
States had not the right of eminent domain
over her territory. The court does not agree
with this contention.

Still Fighting Free Sugar.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2O.-Heavy pres
sure is being brought to bear on the ways
and means committee by individual men,
5ers to secure modification of the schedules
in the bill
brought to bear by the conflicting sugar in
tarests. Representative McKenna has an
nounced that he will submit proposition
looking to cut of 33 Uer cent. in the sugar
duties, restoring the dividing line from 16 to
Is Dutch standard. The California sugar
men accept this heavy cut rather than the
bounty plan adopted, and recruits are ex-
pected from the southern states. Meanwhile
some of the western representatives are pre-
pairing to lead crusade IN favor of free
sugar, so that the ways and means committee
may have to face another revolt next week.

The Mormon Church Property.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-The supreme
court of the United States has rendered an
opinion of vital interest to the Mormon
church: SIN the suit of the Church of Latter
Days against the United States, which comes
here on appeal from the decision OF the su-
preme court of Utah, in favor of the United
States, this court affirms that judgement.
The case grows out of the passage OF the
Edmunds anti-pOlygamy law by the tortleth
congress. This law, among other things,
dissolved the church corporation and killed
its character; directed the appointment of
receiver to wind up its affairs, and escheated
TO the United States all the real estate owned
by the church in excess of $4,000, which was
not, on the date of the passage of the act,
held for purposes of worship or burial.
When the United States, under the terms of
this act, began proceedings to conhScate
about $250,000 worth of property belonging
TO the church the Mornons Immediately en-
tered suit to have the Edmun6s law declared
unconstitutional.
1t was argued in their behalf that congress,
by the dissolution of the church corporation,
had assumed judicial powers, and that the
act of the legislature In Utah, incorporating
the church, constituted contract which
could not be impaired by congress under its
authority to repeal territorial enactments.
1t was also held that the doctrine of eschew
was alien to the spirit of free institutions,
and that it never had been applied in this
country to a church or charitable corpora
ton.
On the part of the United States it was in
tended that congress had authority to repeal
all territorial enactments, that the act incor-
porating the church was invalid, as an at
tempt to establish church contrary to the
provisions of the constitution, and that the
charter should be annulled for abuse of the
granted rights, as, when the church corpora
ton was dissolved, there was no one to whom
to turn over the property, 1t was properly
escheated to the United States.

Resolutions Adopted by tie Kansas State
Temperauce Union,

Temperance UniO1.
Topeka. KAN.-Rev. DR.. S. F. McCabe, of
the committee on resolutions, presented a
report of the committee, of which the follow
ing Is a synopsis:
The convention cOngratulateS the people
of Kansas upon the successful enforcement
of the prohibitory law, and sends greeting
and assurance of sympathy to other states
engaged in the agitation of prohibition. The
convention stands irrevOcably by the prohib-
tory law and pledges itself to resist all viO-
latlons of the same.
Resolution one calls upon our delegation
in congress to take action looking to an
amendment of the interstate commere law,
regulating the importation of liquors into
states that have prOhibitory liquor laws, and
TO prevent the sale of revenue stamps to
those who have not confOrmed to the state
laws. The resolution commends the senate
for the passage of the act abolishing liquor
IN the army.
Resolution two commendS the teachers of
the state for their stand on prohibition, and
asks all other organized callings to take such
position.
Resolution three indicted and arraigned
the saloon for its iniquity, and condemned
the second shameful invasion of Kansas by
Missouri ruffians.'
Resolution four opposed the calling of an
extra session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of resubmitting the prOhibltOry amend
ment.
Resolution five branded as false and mis-
leading statements circulated by reSubmis-
siOnistS that the business interests of the
state have been injured by prohibition.
Resolution six called upon the county and
municipal officers to he more jealous than
ever IN the present emergency: also the peo-
pie to elect good men to the legislature.
Resolution seven endorsed the dissenting
opinion of Justices Gray, Harlan and Brewer
in the Iowa case, and quoted the concluding
paragraph of same.
Resolution eight treats with denial and de-
rision the suggestion that the supreme court
decision Is fatal to prohibition in this state
Under God, the people, by their own act,
have driven the saloon from the borders of
Kansas: no human power can secure its re-
turn. We declare undying, eternal hostility
to the reopening of the accurSed saloon upon
our fair domain, within whose bounds our
children live, and beneath whose sod rest the
ashes of those dear to us. In the interest of
ourselves and our families, of our neighbors
who are just entering the struggle which we,
by so much effort and sacrifice, have success
fully made, of those who now dwell in this
happy commonwealth, of the thronging mil
lions whose advancing footsteps we now hear
we sOlemnly pledge ourselves to resist the
return of the saloon by all the means which
God may bestow upon us"
This Is our platform: The gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.

Capftalists the Mos. Dangerous

PARIS, May H.-In the interview recently
had with him by Des Sioux, the French jour-
nalist, Prince Bismarck said that the danger
ahead lay in tie sentimental anger of the
French over the loss of Alsace- Lorraine.
Supposing that France and Russia crushed
Germany, he said, who would be the gamer?
Russia would certainly then deVour France.
Germany was the bulwark of eastern Europe
against Russian invasion. Talking with a
correspondent of the Navoe Vremya, of St.
Petersburg, the ex-chancellor declared that
the labor conference was blow in the air. The
discomfort of capitalists was much more dan
gerous than the discomfort of workingmen.

Mills Addresses the Alliance.

NEW YORK. May O.-Representative Mills
has answered the letter of the Farmers ALI
ance of Milan county, Texas, asking him to
favor the establishment of government ware
houses for the storage of agricultural pro-
ducts and the issue uDOn them of treasury
notes TO the extent of 50 per cent. of the value
of the products.
His answer was published in the National
Democrat and occuuies three columes of
space. He says: "When the government
begins to take charge of the agricultural pro-
ducts it will go on. and in periods of manu-
featuring and mining depression, iron, steel,
wooden and cotton goods will demand to be
admitted and taken care of and money loaned
TO their owners and so will coal and ores and
lumber. If the policy is adopted it must
apply 70 all. and the power of those inter-
eSted in the products will compel the gov
eminent 70 extend its paternaI care to them"
He adds that the only way in which the
farmer can be helped is by the success of the
traiff reform, for which Cleveland fought
and fell. Respectfully. he declines to support
the alliances proposition. In closing. he
says: 81 can afford to retire to private life,
hut cannot afford 70 share the guilt of partic-
ipating in an act that will bring distress and
suffering to millions of my fellow citizens"
