THE decision of Judge johnson on the
Question whether the state, city and
county are preferred creditors OF. the
Mitchell bank and which was to the
effect that they were, will be upheld by
the supreme court. That body can exer-
else no discretion in the matter. II the
Legislature had a right to pass the law on
which the decision is based, and there is
no question but that it had, the supreme
court cannot decide the law unconstitu-
tional because in it's opinion 1t Is bad
and may work injustice. If the law does
not conflict with the constitution it will
stand. The only redress in the case of
such an obnoxious statute lies in repeal
ing it.

The Daily News criticizes the attitude
OF Judge Johnson In the matter of the
proposed resumption of the Mitchell
bank. 1t is claimed that he declared the
complete solvency of the bank at the
time OF the failure. though he must have
known that much Of the paper held by
the bank could not be realized upon.
There is no bank which goes into bank.
ruptey which has not collateral security
sufficient TO make It's assets equal its La
blllues, except there is evident fraud
shown by the books. But that does not
signify that the bank is sound. If the
gratuitons opinion Of johnson holds
good it will be a most difficult matter To
convict L. Z. Shove, for the his books
were all right and If the notes the bank
held against Randolph and Fliecler and
other parties can be considered as an
asset the bank actually had a surplus
IL II was paper one. But the opinion
privately rendered can never be sustain
ed. To say the least the action of judge
johnson is very indiscreet.

Emperor William and Bismarck begun

fruit thus far. 1t seems pity that Bis

Oklahoma Settlers Given Another Year to
Make Payments.

Oklahoma Settlers Given Another Year to
Make Payments.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE bill pre-.
pared by Representative Flynn grant
ing settlers on certain lands in Okla.
homa, an extension of one year in pay.
ment of their homestead entries, passed
the house yesterday. 1t had previous.
ly passed the senate, but minor
amendment was made to it in the house,
and it was again taken to the senate.
Senator Berry, chairman of the com.
mittee on public lands, broke into Mr..
Cockrell's speech with n motion con-
curing in the house amendment, and
the matter was disposed of.
This bill is one of the most impor-
tant affecting the new territory with
which congress will be called upon to
deal. The homesteaders affected are
those who have located on the Shaw
nee, Pottawatomie and Cheyenne and
Arapahoe lands After settling upon
the lands the farmers had to contend
with two seasons of drought and found
it impossible to meet the first payment
as provided for the law opening the
country to settlement
The bill, which will become law
with the presidents signature, gives
another year to meet this payment
thus enabling thousands of farmers to
retain their lands, who would other
wise be compelled to relinquish them.
Another section of the bill permits
homesteaders in the Shawnee, Potta-
watomie, Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dian lands to receive patent for their
land at the expiration of twelve months,
upon the payment of $3.50 an acre.
The homestead settlers in the public
land strip can take out patent in
twelve months upon the payment OF
81. o5 an acre.

SENSIBLE LANGUAGE.

Ministers of the Colored Methodist Church
Conference Talk Sensibly About the
Tendency OF Young Colored Men to As
sault Women.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct 1.-THE
closing session of the Kansas confer
ence of the A. M. E. church was held
yesterday and Mt o'clock Bishop
james A. Handy pronounced the bene-
diction. The days proceedings were
full of interest and the church was
crowded.
In the afternoon, Rev. DIR. Embree,
of the National publishing house, spoke
to the conference on the duty OF the
church at the present in relation to as
saults by young colored men all over
the country and the awful penalty
that had been inflicted upon some OF
the parties in the south. He said 1t
was grave matter and the
church and the race could no
longer remain silent. He proposed
the publication of tracts to be dis
tributed by the millions warning young
men to behave themselves and observe
law. This was to be followed by the
ministers speaking from the pulpit
warning the parents to lay strong
hands on their sons. The church nor
the race, he declared, could afford to
apologize or attempt to defend such
crimes.
There was something so awful about
It that outraged public sentiment would
condemn the race that sought to apol.
ogize. lie offered resolution enbody-
ing these views 1t was opposed by
Rev. Plummer, who sought to open the
question for debate. His effort failed,
for Bishop Handy cut him off short and
condemned him to be seated.
THE African M. L. church will not
listen to any apology for such crimes,
nor shall it be discussed in the church, !"
he replied, and the hearty applause
showed the conference was with him.
DR.. Derrick stated the matter was
one of great concern to all good
people. The young men, he thought,
should learn to behave themselves and
then there would be no trouble. The
remark was greeted with applause. DIR.
Embree told of mass meeting held
in Philadelphia recently, where all
the ministers of the city met
with the colored people to consider the
question. He thought the church and
the race should cut loose from any
false positions on the question. nor at
tempt to speak in defense of so out
rageous affairs.

CHEAPER RATES.
1he Railroads Sec Their Mistake and Mako
Lower Rates tn Chicago -Cnprecedented
Passenger Traffic tho Past Week.

Yns Railroads Sec Their Mistake and Mako
Lower Rates tn Chicago Cnprecedented
Passenger Traffic tho Past Week.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE lines Of the
Western Passenger association have
finally seen a great light. Some OF
them Saw il long ago, but others did
not and those who saw reaped no BEN
eft because of their clearer vision.
The enormous amount of travel
brought on by the one cent per mile
rate flor Chicago day. has been with
out parallel in the history OF railroad
ing, and all the lines now see that low
rates bring the people, bring them in
swarms and droves, bring them SO that
it is all the railroads can do to haul
them.
This state of affairs the roads nat
urally desire to keep up until the close
of the fair, and Mt yesterdays meeting
of the Western Passenger association,
action was taken which means that the
/ cent rate will be continued for the
remainder of the exposition. The reso-
luton making the rate was introduced
by the Burlington road. 1t provided
the rates from western, southwestern
and northwestern points within the
territory of the Western Passenger
association made for Chicago day at
the fair be continued for the balance
of the exposition, sales of tickets
to be resumed October II to
continue to October 81. tickets to have
final return limit of November Is.
The resolution provoked n lively dis
cussion, the Wabash declaring that one
fare for the round trip was enough,
and the Rock Island asking that ten
day limit be used. The Burlington
resolution made the cheap tickets good
en- all trains and in all cars
The meeting split on the all-car: pro.
vision and finally rejected the original
resolution. but agreed that all roads
could, by giving five days notice, put
in the Chicago day rate for the balance
of the fair. They all gave the notice
and the sale of tickets ut cent per
mile will be resumed October Is The
tickets will be good on all trains, but
in coaches only. The holders will not
be entitled to sleeping or dining car
privileges. This resolution, however.
bids fair to be removed within short
time.
Chicago roads have never before done
such business as during the last four
days. The Burlington brought intt
Chicago during the time Chicago day
tickets were on sale $4,000 people; Mil.
waukee & ST. Paul, $4,000; Northwest.
ern, 10000; Michigan Central, $4,000;
Atchison, $4,000; Lake Shore, $4,000;
Erie, $4,000, and other roads amounts
varying from 10000 to 80, OOO Nothing
like it was ever known before, and the
railroads expect that it will be long be-
fore they see it again.

Commissioner Lochren Answers the In
Quiries in the Lacey Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-Secretary
Smith has sent to the senate the reply
of Commissioner Lochren to the in
quiries in the Lacey resolution.
The number of pensions granted dur
ing the period ending September l.,
1898. was 1924: of these 0,1S7 under
the general law and 41,037 under the
law of 1890. The number rejected was
So, TO2-6. $50 being under the general
law and SO, 7O2 under the law of 1890.
The average monthly award to each
of the classes of the claimants was, I'M
der the general law, s1.11, and under
that of 1890, s943.
The number of suspensions during
the period given by months, as request
ed by the resolution, shows that from
September l, 1892. until May, 1898,
there were no suspensions under the
act of July -, 1890, but that they rap
idly increased from that time until
September, 1893.
Under the general law the suspen-
sions from September, 1892, to April,
1893. inclusive, were: September, 81;
October, 50; November, ~; December,
"a; January. So; February, 90; March,
1ca; April, 1876.
The total suspensions under the gen.
eral law for the year was 1,59s, and I'M
der the act of 1890 for the four months,
10, 49,.
Commissioner Lochren says that it is
proper to add that under the act of
March, 1898, the pensions of 1856 per-
sons residing outside the jurisdiction
of the United States have been sus-
pended since July 1, 1893. Also that of
the 1889 cases suspended under the
act of 1890, payment has been resumed

Yields Down.

Corn Condition Lower Wheat and Dat
Yields Down.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE October
returns to the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture make the gen.
eral condition of corn IS. 1, against 1871
for last month and 7s.0S for October,
1892. This falling off in condition is
the result of the continued drought,
which commenced in June and was not
broken in the corn belt until the lat
ter end of September.
The returns of yield per acre of wheat
indicate n production of about 11.3
bushels. being IL bushels less than
last October estimate. The rate Of
yield in New York is las bushels; Penn.
sylvania, 140; Ohio, $50; Michigan,
1870: Indiana. 142; Illinois, liza; Wis
consin. 1873; Minnesota, 81; Iowa, Ills;
Missouri, 9.5; Kansas, S4;Nebrasla, ST;
South Dakota. Sc; North Dakota, 95;
California, liz. The small yield lie the
result of the drought during the fall,
which caused poor termination and
growth, the severe winter follc~:ng
causing considerable winter killing.
The low condition in many states
is the result of the dry spring. The
average yield would have been much
less had not much worthless wheat
been plowed up and the ground put in
other grains The quality of the east
ern, southern and Pacific states is upto

which the commercial supplies are OBJ
