The fact is as shown by re-
ports being received at Wash
ington that while the campaign
is somewhat relieved of the
senseless hurrah and excitement
which usually accompany ma
tional elections, the people are
none the less interested, and
the Democracy is greatly profit
ing by the quiet consideration
being given the issues of the
campaign. The tariff is recog-
nized as emphatically the great
question of the day, and the
evidences are multiplying that
the people are awakening to a
realization of the indefensible
injustice of a system that de-
spoils the many for the purpose
of enriching the few, which is
the end and aim of a protective
tariff, and especially of the Nc
Kinley law. This feeling is
confined to no section of the
country, but its expression is
heard alike from manufacturing
New England and from the
agricultural West and North
west. That its effect will be
felt in q marked degree there
can be no doubt, and the leaders
are confident that they will win
on this issue alone, to say moth
ing Of the iniquitous force bill
and other questions on which
the party stands in the position
of a defender of the people s
rights and liberties.

laws which unnecessarily inter-

and. are not inconsistent with
good citizenship andthe public
welfare. The same principle
requires that the line between
the subjects which are properly
within governmental control
and those which are more fit
tingly left to paternal regula-
tion should be carefully kept
in view and enforced education,
wisely deemed a proper prepara-
tion for citizenship, should not
involve the impairment of

a symptom of misrule, whether

IMMIGRATION.
A generous hospitality, which
is one of the most prominent of
our national characteristics,
prompts us to welcome the
worthy and industrious of all

sentiment is not violated, how
ever, by careful and reasonable
regulations for the protection of
the public health, nor does it
justify the exception of immi-

The Almost Interninable Sharon Divorce
Case Comes to an End.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-After dragging
through the courts for over 13 years, during
which time the defendant has died and tn
husband of the plaintiff has been killed by
a Deputy United States Marshal, and the
plaintiff has become SO hopelessly insane
that it was found necessary to confne her
in an asylum, the notorious Sharon case is
finally settled
Yesterday when the Supreme Court OF
the State was sitting, Judge Bank handed
down decision dismissing the appeal that
had been taken from the judgment rendered
by the late Judge McShatter in August,
1890. The decision which had been ap-
pealed from was the granting of the prayer
of the executors of the Sharon estate, that
the so-called certificate of marriage between
William Sharon and Sarah Althea Hill be
declared forgery, and that the representa-
tive of the defendant be authorized to col
lect costs from the plaintiff. This action
was based upon a decision that had pre-
viouslv been rendered by Judge Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, reversing
the opinion of Superior Judge Sullivan
virtually recognizing Sarah Althea as
Sharon's wife.

HORIZONS IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE

of the triennal Protestant Episcopal
Convention Mr. Burgwin, of Pittsburg,
moved that a committee of six. instead Of
five, be appointed to make rules, with the
President ex-officio. Carried.
The House of Bishops decided to make
the question on the alteration of the Prayer
Book the order of the day until completed
Alexander Gregg, of Texas, proposed that
the time of general convention be changed
from the first week in October to the first
week in September, as October is the most
important part of the year to the clergy
and judges present at this convention.
The House of Bishops notified the House
of Deputies that they adopted the follow
ing resolution, proposed by the committee
in reference to Prayer Book: "From No. l
to No. %: 4, 9 and IL excepted"
Mr. Huntington, representing the commit
| tee formed to take charge of the change to
be made in the Prayer Book,
said that, the House of Bish-
ops concurring, the change made should
| be printed in an appendix to the journal of
the House. Mr.. Burgwin proposed that the
| opinion of the House on the amendment of
the hrst ~ resolutions "A, y. IL excepted)
of change in the Prayer Book not to be
taken until Monday. The House declined
to accept the proposal. Dr. Hutchins, Sec
retary, proceed to take the votes of the
House in the revision of resolutions 1, 2
and g.
At the second session of the House of
Deputies there was spirited debate on re-
solution 4, the question being: Should the
House of Deputies concur with the House
of Bishops in rejecting the resolution.
Article was rejected, but articles 6, and
8 we're adopted. Number was lost and 10
was carried. Number II was passed over,
as it is still in the House of Bishops Reso-
luton II, 13 and IA were also carried.
On motion of Rev. Mr.. Davenport, of
Tennessee, President Dix, of the House of
Deputies, was requested to communicate to
President Harrison an expression of the
sincere sympathy of the House with him in
the presence of the sickness of Mrs. Harri-
son,

CHICAGO, Oct Cat to-day's session of
the American Board of Missionary Mana

there were majority and minority reports,

ing the trend of feeling among the churches,
yet equally recognizing the feeling of the
corporate members of the board The fol-

That the Committee on Nominations Of
new corporate members be directed to re-
ceive from the State, Territorial and inde-
pendent congregational organizations NOM
nations of persons to I'LL vacancies which
may occur on the board. somewhat more
than the usual number given to said assem-
bly, and that the committee be directed to
select from such names and to report enough
to fill three -fourths of the vacancies which
may then exist on the board regard being
had for the apportionment of laymen and
clergymen according to the bylaws; and that
the committee be instructed to report such
plan for the representation of Congrega-
tional churches in the board as shall seem
likely to satisfy the reasonable demand of
the churcnes for represen tation on the
board.
The minority report was practically the
same, except that the churches were ordered
to nominate twice as many persons as the
States usually get, from which are to be
selected for membership enough to make up
half of the number of vacancies to be filled. |
The difference was so slight that the reports |
were recommitted upon the suggestion of |

questions involved was temporarily de- |

were the matter with these steeds would be

with heaves, oppressed with the glanders,

WASHINGTON, Oct 6-The Secretary of
the Interior has received q letter from
Agent Bennett, of the Union Agency in the
Indian Territory, relative to the condition
of affairs in the Choctaw Nation. which in
dicates that there is likely to be further
bloodshed there unless prompt action is

Article IA of the treaty of 1885 with the
Choctaws obligates the United States to
protect these Indians from domestic strife,

CAPRIvI CALLED D0Wa

BY His Rival Gutenberg for Interfering
With the Latter's Prerogative.
BERLIN, Oct 6.-Count Gutenberg, Pres
ident of the Prussisn Cabinet, has at last
supported the new military bill, although he
is extremely displeased at the strange con-
duct of Chancellor Caprivi, who, although
no longer Premier, had moved 1t in the
name of Prussia without consulting him.
Caprivi's initiative before the Federal
Council is, therefore, in danger of being
disavowed by Count Gutenberg. Several
other members of the Prussan Cabinet are
opposed to the modus procedendi, and not
withstanding the warm protection afforded
to the Chancellor by the Emperor, it is
feared a great deal of unpleasant friction
may arise. The Emperor is striving to
paralyze the hostility of the current and
hopes to succeed.

The biggest coal business in its history il

Railway. From along the Monongahela,
$4,000 bushels passed through here at the
end of last week, and this week it will run
10000 bushels, the heaviest shipments in
one week since the traffic began. Operators
dispute the assertion that the increased
demand is due to the strike now on this
vicinity. The valley has been rapidly
developed during the past year, and the
coal trade is now enormous The road is
unable to meet the demand for cars, falling
short more than half Buffalo and Cleve-
land are the principal points for shipment.
