holding intolerance has found it, last
entrsnohmsnt in the south and guards
its dsspotism by that same species q
lswiessneas that brought about tho
frenzy Of Sumptsr and the despair Of
Appommatox. To exterminate this
spirit, every loyal citizen should come
to the rescue, and make the question
of free speech, free vote and fair count
the paramount issue of this campaign"
sis it not possible that the western
democrats will object to your candid ex-
posure Of the methods of their brethren
in the south?'
POSSIBLY they may, but I feel that
it is my duty, however disagreeable
and difficult; my privilege, however e1-
acting, IL to expose and by exposure do
feat, Il possible, the men and methods
which have overthrow throughout the
south the most sacred franchises Of the
constitution. This is not my cause
alone the cause of any political
party-it is the cause Of every law abid-
ing American citizen; the cause Of the
whole country-for there can be no re-
form brought about on the economic
questions, and no permanent prosperity
for the south and nation; no inseparable
union; no stability for society; no order,
law or justice nothing worth having
in government without honest and pure
elections. And I, for one, will never
cease my efforts on the rostrum and
through the press until it is just a. safe
for General Weaver or any Union SOL
der to talk in tho south as it is for COL
onel Livingston to talk in Kansas. In
this question of free vote and q fair
count, the people of common country
should engage in common cause; and,
laying aside all local and personal con-
sideration, reconsecrate themselves
anew to the preservation of common
Justice and the maintenance Of liberty"

care you in favor of applying force
bill to the south?"
II am IN favor OF abolishln 8 the force
bill now used by an intolerant democ-
racy and applied to whites and blacks
who differ from them politically. In
other words, believe the ballot should
be for the voter, and not the voter for
the ballot. Why, in many places in the
south men have been voting their dogs
and mules for years. They give the
animals names, have them registered,
and then take them to the polls and cast
votes IN their names.
"The all-important and living issue
now before the people Of America is to
wipe out forever the intolerant, vindic-
tive, slave-making democratic party
that has ever been a protest against
progress and has become in it's blind
hatred q menace to good government
and free institutions"

MI. BLAINE's ABSENCE.
His Failure 20 Attend the Cabinet Meeting
Causes Comment.

HIS Failure 10 Attend the Cabinet Meeting
Causes Comment.
Secretary Blaine did not attend the cabinet
meeting yesterday and his absence caused con-
siderable speculation in political circles
Al the State Department il was said that Mr..
Blaine's failure to attend the cabinet meeting
was probably due TO the fact that he Sas busy
at the department attending to the matters that
had accumulated during his visi, to New York.
AT the White House no Significance whatever
was attached to his absence for the stated rea-
son that il was not generally known that the
President had returned 10 the city and also be-
cause no notice was given that there would lie
meeting, which has always been the practice
after presidential absence from the city when
he desires to confer with his cabinet. Ii was
said further that there was no formal meeting
and that Secretary Tracy and Attorney General
Miller we're not aware until they reached the
Executive Mansion that the President had re-
turned. IL was also said that the reason no
cabinet meeting had been called was that the
President was fatigued after his trip 20 Roches-
ter and had no important matters TO present for
consideration.

HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
A Decrease of Nineteen Deaths Last Week
Vital Statistics.

A Decrease of Nineteen Deaths Last Week
Vital Statistics.
"There was decrease of nineteen in the
number of deaths last week as compared with
the preceding week." says the weekly report of
Health Officer Hammett. 1.-THE decline is along
the whole line, but more especially noticeable
in the lessened mortality among the old people.
In the previous week there were thirty-four
deaths of persons over sixty years of age, while
during the last week there were but eleven of
this class. The cool weather during the month
has greatly favored the infants in retarding the
annual return Of cholera infantum. Hence the
deaths of children under five years Of age con-
time at the normal rate. The reports of the
week show favorable state of the general
health of the District. Contagious diseases are
at the minimum, and no section of the city pre-
sents any noticeable number Of malarial affec-
tons This favorable condition of the public
health may be in great degree attributed to
the excellent sanitary condition of the city. The
abatement OF many cesspools and the improve
ment by draining and paving Of a number of
alleys which infected large neighborhoods by
their collections of disease-breeding matter have
also tended to reduce the death rate, which, by
the last weeks showing. is but 17.2 as against
22.S, which is the average rate"

They Make an Enjoyable Trip to Annapolis
Patriotic Speeches Made.

The jaunt Of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution to Annapolis yesterday with the subse-
quent meeting held in the hall of delegates at
| the state house was success as pleasure trip,
and at the same time resulted in the transac-
ton Of some important business. A resolution
was unanimously adopted having in view the
amalgamation of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution and the Sons of the Revolu
ton. 1t is stated that Vice President Morton, who
is "a prominent member of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, with Gen. Greedy, Admiral
Jouett, Commander Barker of the navy, Mr..
John Goode and Gen. Breckenridge of the army
| recently met ex-Gov. John Lee Carroll presi-
| dent of the Sons of the Revolution, and others
| from that body, and that ii was agreed in the
conference to come together.
| MR.. PARKER's RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Myron NJ. Parker of this city offered a
| resolution, which was adopted. asking for an
additional appropriation by Congress for the
| international naval review in connection with
| the worlds exposition, for which Congress has
| appropriated $4,000. The resolution states
| that the review in honor of the great navigator
| and discoverer, Christopher Columbus, is
| peculiarly appropriate ceremony and matter of
| special interest to the Atlantic and gulf ports
and the Sons Of the American Revolution favor
| an appropriation for the purposes of the review
commensurate with the importance Of the occa-
sion and worthy of the dignity and power of
the nation under whose auspices the ceremony
| is to be held.
Mr.. Parker said it was the intention of the
society to extend the review to New York har-
| Dor, Hampton Roads and Annapolis.
Gen. A. W. Greedy presided at the meeting,
| and speeches were made by Gov. Brown, ex-
Gov. John Lee Carroll, Gen. Bradley T. John
son, Mr.. Alexander Porter Morse, Mr. John
| Goode and Mr.. Ernest Wilkinson.
Mrs. Marian Longfellow Morris, one Of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, sent an
original poem, which was read by Mr. Bernard
| X. Green.
The party visited the war ships at anchor in
the harbor and witnessed the exercises at the
Naval Academy. They returned to Washing

UNITED PRESBYTERIANs.
The Assembly Gives a Representative of
WOmen's Mission Board the Floor.

The Assembly Gives Representative of the
Women's Mission Board the Floor.
There was larger attendance of spectators
at the session of United Presbyterians in Allie
gheny yesterday than at any previous session
of the assembly.
After the opening prayer Of the assembly a
memorial from the Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation was read and referred to the committee
on reform. After half hours devotional ser
vice the report Of the special committee on re-
ports Of committees of the Women's Foreign
Missionary Board and committee Of the as
sembly to determine the relation of the women 8
board to the other general boards and the as
sembly was read. 1t recommended that the
| women's board be auxiliary to the other boards.
Mrs. II. @. Campbell addressed the assembly
on the subject and took occasion to define the
work done by the womens board, and asked
the assembly to define this boards position and
what the word auxiliary means. Her address
| was applauded.
The word auxiliary" seems to have palled
| upon the women. 1t seemed to suggest o Sec
ondary or makeshift position, and they wanted
| 1t changed. The assembly seemed in doubt as
to the exact meaning Of the word auxiliary
| In the sense used, and it is probable that the
| assembly was 10th to place women on equal
footing, therefore the debate was really as to
how to best put off the matter and at the same
tune give no offense to the women.
DR.. Reynolds arose to say that since the ex-
act meaning of the word auxiliary is in
doubt he wondered why some synonym had not
| been found for il. But he saw nothing wrong
with 1t. Woman was made auxiliary to man
helpmeet for man.
The report was adopted, as was also DR..
| Owens resolution that a representative Of the
women's board may have the privilege OF the
| floor on the same basis ~ the secretaries of
other boards. This seemed to satisfy the
| women. It was certainly . victory, for the
general assembly never before gave the women's
board direct voice on the floor. Tha considsra-
| ton Of the assembly's committee on changes in
| the home mission system, which was mot an
ished, was again taken up.
Most Of the afternoon and evening sermons
were devoted to the opening of the worlds fair
on Sunday. Sunday opening WAS 6ercely de-
