REPRESENTATIVE CULBERTsoN, of
Texas, expresses the opinion that the
senate made a. fatal mistake in pass
ing the free coinage bill; that it
failed to preserve in the repeal of the
act of 1890 the legal tender quality
Of the coin notes issued under author
ity of the secretary of the treasury
to redeem. The effect of the senate
bill, he says, will be to demonetize more
than eighty millions of coin notes and
postpone their redemption.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN OPENING

Saturday Night Pole Raising in Alie-
/ gheny Win Mark the Event.
To-day a party of Democrats from the
Sixth ward, Allegheny. captained by Alex
ander. Wilson and Lee Frasher, will go out
the Perrysville road to the farm of Casper
Reel in Ross township and cut hickory
trees for liberty pole. The erection of the
pole at the intersection of Market and
Locust streets Saturday evening will open
the Democratic campaign in Allegheny.
Fifteen or 20 men will form the party going
out to-day. The occasion will be made a
picnic affair with refreshments and other
| trimmings
i The farm of. Casper Reel has long been
the source of the hickory pole supply for
Allegheny Democrats. Mr. Reel died
three years ago at the ripe old age of So.
From the time he first settled on his farm
and began TO clear off the land he picked
out the straight hickory trees and marked
them tor liberty poles Orders were given
TO the W ood choppers to spare the hiekories
he had marked, and to-day the broad fields
of the farm are dotted with shapely trees.
Before Mr.. Reel died he made his only
child, his daughter, who now operates the
farm, promise that the supply of liberty
poles must be kept up and the trees sacri-
/ feed for that purpose on demand. Miss
/ Reel is as good a Democrat as her father
was, and she recently notified Alexander
Wilson to come for trees whenever they
were needed. 1t is intended to raise pole
at least 100 feet high in the Sixth ward
Saturday night, and big time is expected

THE IRON HALL CRISIS

A Receiver at Last Appointed by the Su-
prems Court of Indiana.
INpIANAPoLIs, Aug. A.-Judge Taylor,
of the Supreme Court appointed James T.
Failey, prominent capitalist of this city,
receiver for the Order of Iron Hail. His
bond was fixed at S1,000,OO0. The trial
ended rather abruptly. The counsel for the
defense wanted to argue the case, but Judge
Taylor informed him that no amount Of
argument could convince him that q re-
ceiver was not necessary for the order.
At Baltimore Judge Dennis appointed
Charles j. Wiener and Joseph c. France
receivers of the order of the Iron Hall for
the lodges in that city. At Camden, N. J.,
branch No. q resolved upon radical means
Of relief Resolutions were unanimously
adopted denouncing Somberby and his asso-
ciates, and demanding their impeachment as
high embezzlers and thieves Five foreign
attachments were issued to-day in Philadel-
phia against the Supreme Sitting for 5, 900
each. They are issued upon the petition Of
five members whose certificates have ma
tured At Detroit Henry Cheever this aft
ernoon began eight more suits against local
branches of the Iron Hall. The bill in each
case asks for the appointment of receiver,
for an injunction restraining the officers
from using the money on hand, and eventu-
ally for a division of the money among the
members in proportion to the amount each
has paid in.
A dispatch from Cleveland says: The
members of the Iron Hall in this city, de-
spite their protestations of confidence, took
alarm from the developments at Indianapo-
lis and Philadelphia, and tonight repre-
sentatives of the 80 Cleveland branches had
a meeting. Their intention was to take
possession of all the money in bank that
they could get and withdraw from the Su-
preme organization. They had scarcely be-
gun to discuss the matter when they learned
that late in the afternoon two members,
John H. Brown and William E Croley, had
begun suit for a receiver tor Cuyahoga
county and that they had enjoined the banks
from paying out any Iron Hall money. The
hearing will occur Saturday.

The Court recommended that the officers
who were responsible for the holding of the
maneuvers during such hot weather should
be retired. In accordance with this recon-
mendation two Generals and one Colonel
have been placed on the retired list. The
