No Rational Excuse -
by United Press)
NEW YORK, July 22nd.-The Herald
this morning publishes a dispatch from
Governor Gordon, of Georgia, in which
the Governor states that be is in entire
accord with the spirit, tone and practi-
cal suggestions of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton as to the use of the boycott as
means Of f-preservation and CONNER,
cial independence, if the useless aud in
famous force bill becomes law. More
over, the Governor says, that spirit
will possess and control approximately
every white man, woman and child
In the Southern States. The Governor
says that ever since the bill passed the
| House, he has hoped that some of the
| Republican Senators would be found pa
| triOtlc enough, broad and brave enough
to prefer the we'll being Of the country to
party ascendancy. But if this hope is
not realized, and the force bill becomes
a law, he will use whatever influence be
may possess to arouse the Southern peo-
pie to the necessity of looking only to
their exhaustless resources.
eve WILL" he says, welcome to our
section all of cur countrymen of the
North who may wish to live among US,
and we sill still protect all their invest
ments and rights of property by impair
tial laws and honest courts; but we shall
counsel a return to the old system OF
the election Of representatives by gen
aral ticket if needs be, or d resort to any
lawful, peaceful means in order to pro
tect the right Of choosing representatives
and to resist the wrong of having them
chosen TOR us by Federal supervisors. :"
The Governor concludes his letter as
follows: "We will still endeavor to keer
peace and promote good will between
the races, and sincerely hope that the
Southern negroes will lot destroy thei
} own prosperity by consorting with thos,
, whose mad policy threatens the we'll be
ing Of both races. We shall still hop
that after these years of apparent recon
, ciliation, Of restored confidence, we shall
not see the whole current OF nationa
sentiment turned backward and down

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Senate
disposed Of one half of the indian appro-
priation bill, passed two important
House bills and at 80 adjourned till to-
| morrow.
WASHINGTON, July %. The House
began voting on the "original package"
bill as soon as the reading of the journal
had been concluded. The first vote was
On Mr.. Adams substitute defining origi-
nal packages, which was rejected-yeas
33, nays lis.
The House then took a vote on the
House substitute for the Senate bill.
which provides that whenever any article
of commerce is imported into any State
from any other State, territory or for
eign nation and there held or offered for
sale, it shall be subject to the laws of
that State, provided tha. no discrimina-
ton shall be made by any Stete in favor
Of the citizens of that State against the
| citizens of any other State: nor shall the
transportation of commerce through any
State be obstructed except in the neces-
sary enforcement of the health laws Of
that State.
The substitute was adopted-113 to
81.
The Senate bill as amended was pas
sed-yeas 176; nays 3S.
The bankruptcy bill was then taken
up and debated at length. E. B. Tay-
lor, of Ohio, opened the debate with
speech in favor of the bill He thought
that the voluntary bankruptcy bill"
framed by the minority was favorable to
creditors only and was not mutual.
Mr.. Wallace, of New York, thought
the bill was framed in the interest of
business integrity and commercial fair
dealing.
Mr.. Culbsrson, of Texas, thought the
bill did not differ materially from the
Lowell bill of former Cong oss, or
from the act Of 1867, against which
public sentiment became so strong that
, it was repealed. He said that no bill
, had been SO industriously lobbied as
, this. 1t might be that the convention
which endorsed the bill thought it nee
) essary to provide wrecking train tc
pick up the fortunes which would be
| scattered all over the country when the
| tariff bill, the silver bill and the ele ction
bill was enforced.
} Mr.. Wheeler, of Alabama, said that
he supposed the bill would be passed be-
cause the Speaker had ordered it passed
but that it bristled with assaults on the
people just as the election bill did,
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey, sai6
S that as member of the judiciary com
, mittee, he wanted to say that he did no
| know to-day whether the speaker was il
, favor of the measure or not.
Mr.. Kelley, of Kansas, criticised thu
provisions of the bill which permitted
only lawyers to become referees.
Mr.. Buchanan said the referees hai
: judicial functions to perform.
!. Mr.. Gates, of Alabama, admitted tha
o the bill was carefully constructed, bu
he opposed it. The act of 1867 had beel
!, so completely maladministered in tn

become stencil in the nostrils Of ever

= Pending further debate, the House, g

Other qualities and sizes at similar

Last month the axe manufacturers of
the United States formed "Trust,"
under the name of the ''American Axe
and Tool Company" The Trust was
formed by the consolidation of four
teen of the largest manufacturing con-
Germs in the country. Concerning it
the Iron Age of March 9th, 1890, says:
''The general feeling among the trade is
that the axe makers have formed a very
strong association and have complete
control Of the market, or so nearly so
that the outside makers will have scarce
ly any appreciable effect on prices. It
is found that scarcely any orders can be
placed with outside manufacturers who
are not under the control of the Ameri-
can Axe and Tool Company. The trade
will do we'll to note the changed condition
in this line of goods as regards the higher
prices now ruling, and the strong
probability of their maintenance for
some time to come. On first quality
goods an advance is now made of 81. Is

plated ia the home market. There is no
advance possible in the foreign market.
