Special TO the Gazette.


DETROIT, Mich. May 2G.-The first business
taken up by the Pres byterian assembly was

committee for consideration. The prInci-
pal overture was one in regard to Roman
Catholic schools among Indians, and
whether the United States government
should continue Indian schools.
The question of unemployed minister's
and vacant pulpits being in order, discus
sion drifted into tho question of employ
ment of an agent to keep tab on ministers
Of the church who We're unemployed and
churches requiring supplies. The point
was raised of salaries; the $500 salary WIS
knocked out and $500 set as the price, and
the matter referred for consideration of its
constitutionality.
Rev. Andrew V RAYMOND of Albany. n
Y, presented the report of the committee
on home missions. The home mission board
is SsjStJ in debt, an increase of 81, 600.
caused by the falling off of le5acies. The
committee recommended q general mission
airy convention for this fall, and collections
for home missions iii Sunday schools the
Sunday before Thanksgiving day. The
committee further recommended that
ONE MILLION DOLLARS
be the amount set aside for this work for
the year The report was accepted.
The death of DR.. Henry J. Vandyke of
Brooklyn. an eX-moderator of the assembly
WIS ny inc Inc
assembly sent a telegram Of coincidence 10
the widow, and appointed committee to
draft minutes to be presented to as
sembly. The moderator then suspended
business and made a touching prayer.
Tie committee on missions among freed
nlen recommended SI,000,000 be set aside
for the work during the year. The discus

The recommendation to provide an
Italian Bible was accepted. A recess was
taken.
AT the afternoon session Col. Elliot F.
Shepard of New York resented Il report
of the committee on Sabbath observance.
It declared against the tendency toward
violation of the Sabbath, as evidenced in
the opening Of the art galleries and reading
rooms. The excuse given that they were
intended for the benefit of the poor was
set down as a delusion and a snare. The
committee recommended the closing of the
Worlds fair gates on Sundays, and setting
apart the first week in April, 1892, as a
week of prayer for Sunday observance.
The report was adopted and minor mat
tiers occupied the assembly until adjourn
ment.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Judge Heath of Rockwell Interviewed On
the Subject.
Special to the Gazette.


Special to the Gazette
RoCKwALL, TEX, May 2G.-YOur cores
pondent called on Hon. E. G. Heath to-day
to get his views Oh the Peoples party and
its platform. Judge Heath said that he
was sure in the Democratic party would
have no trouble TO get CD TO the platform of
the Peoples party as adopted at Cincin-
natl. Already prominent Democrats are
seeing the crack in the wall and suggesting
something in place OF the sub-treasury. He
said in his recollection no third party ever
nominated a candidate for president the
second tiIne except the Prohibition party
That party has had a candidate in the field
regularly since the inauguration of the
party in 1869, and will continue to do so
until the causefor which il so oonscien-
tiously fights, gets 10 the front.
In answer TO the question, What good
or evil do you see for prohibition in the
Peoples party movement" he said: well,
/ can't say how much good, but no evil
great many Pros. have joined this move
meet, but as soon they see that they
have been captured by the same old whisky
and party bosses, as they will see as soon
as the Democratic party swallows their
platform, there will be such focking to
our standard as shall make an earthquake
in the whisky camp. The farmers move
ment is class movement, and will not last.
Their claimt are just, but, being class, will
not stand as a separate party movement.
The prohibition movement is not class; it
affects the whole people, and may be sup
ported from every part of the compass, aud
in time Will be triumphant"

LA GRANGE TEX. May a6.-The case of
the state VS.. John T. Rankin was called
yesterday morning. The state announced
ready for trial. The defendant, after con-
sultation, fled motion to change the
venue. The ground for the motion was ex-
isting prejudice and the existence of d con-
spiracy Of influential citizens and enemies
seeking to secure his conviction, and to
prevent his getting fair and impartial
trial The defendant introduced about a
dozen witnesses, who resided in different
parts of the county, and who stated from
their knowledge that the defendant could
not get fair and impartial trial. Some Of
the witnesses testified to the existence of a
combination of citizens who are actively at
work seeking to secure his conviction. The
state filed q contest, but introduced no evil
dence to support it. The court, however,
denied the motion to change venue. This
morning the case was continued by the de-
