WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The opinion
prevails here that the appointment Of Mr.
Proctor to be the successor of Mr. Ed
muuds in the Senate was timed so as to
add to the pleasure Of the President visit
to Vermont as Mr.. Proctor's guest The
President is very fond of Mr. Proctor, and
thinks him man of great merit.
There is, of course, a good deal of specu-
lation as to the filing of the Cabinet va
eancy. The situation is such, however,
that the President is not to be hurried in
choosing the new man. Mr.. Edmunds'
resignation from the Senate does not take
effect until November, and consequently
there will be nothing to prevent Mr..
Proctor remaining in the Cabinet until
his term as Senator begins. This, of
course, he will do If the President should
desire it,
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent will call on the East TO fill the va
cancy occasioned by the transfer of Mr.
Proctor from the Cabinet to the Senate,
and that Vermont may yet get the place.
Gen. Veazey's name has for some time
been mentioned in connection with it.
His relations with the President are cor
dial and his executive capacity is rated
well here His prominence in Grand
Army circles adds to his strength with
the President
1t is recalled, too, that in his speech
last week at the Bennington monument
celebration the President took occasion to
speak highly of Gen. Veazey, and testi-
fed thus publicly to his admiration for
him.
The appointment Of Gen. Veazey to the
Secretaryship of War would create an
other vacancy in the Board of Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, but that
would only give the President an oppor-
tunity to reorganize that board, some
tn do

KING KBLLY'S SLIDE
He Signs to Play With the
Boston League Club,
BASEBALL CIRCLES SURPRISED.
To Receive the Biggest Salary Ever Given
to a Player

he WIN be Paid S2S,o from Now Until
the Close of the Season of '9a To Cap
sain the Toam--Hc starts This Morning
for Cleveland In Special Car--Tho As
sociatiou Very Bitter.
BosToN, Aug. 20-Mike Kelly, Of the
Boston Reds, has signed a contract TO
play with the Boston League club.
The news that Kelly had left the Asso-
citation created the biggest baseball sem
sation of the season. The financial con-
sideration which he received was enough
to stagger almost any baseball player.
His salary for the present time TO the
close of the season Of 1892, including the
bonus which he received for signing
will be the unprecedented sum Of S25, ,OOO
This is the top notch in the way of sal
aries to ball players, and is even more
than Mike himself ever dreamed Of get
ting
In addition TO receiving this fat salary
be has been appointed captain of the nine,
Bill Nash having resigned that position n
week ago.
Kelly left for Cleveland this morning
IN a special car chartered for the tri-
Imphal tour.
The cause Of Kelly's slide Is attributed
IN general to the fact that he felt himself
to be too big man to be ruled by the
Association authorities, and in particular
to little row that he had with Manager
Irwin just before one of the games with
the Baltimores last week, Irwin wanted
Kelly to lay Off Kelly wanted TO play.
Irwin carried his point, and Kelly has
been sull1ing in his tent ever since,
and all attempts at pacifcation have
failed
Whatever the cause, Kelly has lost In
popular favor by his latest move. The
big mass of the Association followers are
very bitter over his departure.

BITTER RELIGIOUS FIGHT.

Decision in Long Contested SUIT De-
tween Church Factions.
CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Aug. ga de-
cision has been rendered in the long con-
tested equity suit between the liberal
and radical factions of the Church of the
United Brethren in Christ
This contest grew out of the adoption Of
a new constitution at the general con-
ference in 1889, portion Of the Church
objecting to the clause permitting mem
bers to unite with secret societies. They
withdrew from the conference and or
ganized another and termed themselves
theSradicals.
The contest for the church property at
once began, and has been long and bitter
The suit just decided was, by agreement,
a test case. Judge Stewart decides that
all the actions of the general conference
regarding the adoption of the new consti-
tuition were regular, and DEGREES are en-
tered restraining the radicals from in any
way interfering with the church property.
The case will be appealed.

found Xantipre still sitting up, waiting
for him.
"Socrates,' said she, in a tone which

The Farmers AIliaucc,

Any consideration given to the q1les-
ton of presidential probabilities i'll
1891 would be yalueless which do not
take into serious account the Farmers
Alliance movement. From n mere
spcck upon the western political hori-
zon it has, with wondrous rapidity,
grown to be great cloud. which the
astute political leaders of both parties
are watching with anxiety, not wholly
unmixcd with alarm. Through the
soutl, the movement has advanced with
remarkable celerity, gaining enormous
numerical force day by day. Latterly
it has found supporters in both the
middle and eastern states, and legisla-
tion bearing the alliance trade mark
has been introduced not only in con.
gress, but in almost every legislature,
including that of Pennsylvania

What Ais the Country.

According to Bradstreet one-half of
the business failures last year is at
tributed to lack of money. The ALI
ance has been telling the country this
long time, that the general depres-
sion was attributed to a lack of circu-
lating medium, but these business men
did not believe us until they had to Sc
cept their own figures which proves
every time that VIC were right. We
told them that the farms were over
burdened by mortgage Indebtedness
but they denied it only to admit it later
on, when they found that figures con-
fronted them. We told them that not
an alliance member of the legislature
could be bought to vote for ingalls,
and they denied our assertion only to
be confronted with the fact later on.
We know what we are talking about
and the sooner the business interests
of the country realize this fact and
join hands with us and help us curb
the arrogance of the money power, the
better it will be for us all. These
money kings care no more for the ordin-
AIRY business man than they do for a
paupcr and will swallow them up as
we'll rs the farmer. 1t is time for town
and county to join hands if they wish
to save our liberties. -Lincoln, n. " J

It is stated that the national banks
are negotiating time loans and making
them payable in gold only. These
creatures of the government are so in
tent upon degrading silver and dis
crediting treasury notes that they are
conspiring to impair confidence in the
legal tender of the government.
The act is reasonable one, and
their combining together TO effect their
purpose is reasonable conspiracy
and their charters should be imme-
diately revoked. To treat the flag with
disrespect is properly regarded as Il
grave oifensc, and to attempt to dis
credit the nations money is a greater
crime. 1t is an assault upon the SOW
ereignty of the government, and these
creatures of the law assume to be
greater than their creator.-fitctn-
