A Master Of Debate.

In an extended review of the volume
entitled, Speeches and Addresses OF
William Mckinley, from His Election
to Congress to the Present Time" the
New York Tribune thus considers
Governor Mckinley as an orator and
debater:
What Mr.. Gladstone once said OF
John Bright may be said also of Gov
ernor Mckinley: "The people like to
hear his voice" 1t is strong, me-
lodious voice, vibrating with intensity
OF personal conviction. Always alb
solutely in earnest, even when he is
discussion an abstract question OF
political economy or national finance,
he never leaves his audience i'll doubt
respecting his sincerity and essential
honesty of purpose. To voice OF re-
markable fexibility, power and purity
OF tone are added presence OF COM
manding dignity and the stateliness
of manner which distinguished the old
school OF American orators. While

humor, he prefers to discuss large
questions with extreme seriousness
and gravity. He is never flippant;
he never seeks to force laugh by ap-
pealing to the popular sense of what
is ludicrous, and he contents himself
with grim pleasantries and with keen
satire when it is necessary to light up
with CLEANS of humor the exposition
of questions OF current politics. He
is primarily adebater and incidentally
an orator. The distinguishing charac
teristics of his public addresses are
lucidity OF style and cumulative argu
mentative force. His appeal is made
to the intelligence rather than to the
emotions of an audience. He reasons
with opponents and strives 70 cor

Passed the McCreary Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE house
Yesterday afternoon passed the Nc
Creary bill with amendments offered
by Geary and Camnetti. The bill as
passed extends the provisions of the
Geary law six months. 1t defines
Chinese laborers and Chinese mer-
chants, makes mandatory photo
graphic identification, requires mar
shals to carry out the orders for de-
portation, jailing Cinnamon without
bail pending the execution of the de-
portation writ, and excludes China
men convicted OF felony from permis-
sion to register. Geary declares the
bill as passed perfectly satisfactory to
the coast, and if enforced at the ex-
piratIon of the time limit, will settle
the Chinese problem. Those who de-
part will not be able to transfer their
registration certificates, and in course
of time all will disappear from these
shores. The administration is also
satisfied with the bill, so Chairman

Historic Mentor Farm.

The famous Garfield farm at Men
tor is to be cut up into residence lots
and made to form a nucleus OF a town
to be called Garfield, a summer home
for many rich Clevelanders. The Gar
field home will be left irtact, but the
200-acre farm that was the pride OF
the martyred president will be de-
stroyed. Young James Garfield and
j. Stanley Brown, who married
Mollie Garfield, are said to be the pro-
jectors of the enterprise. Mento or
farm lies about twenty miles from the
center of Cleveland and is accessible
by suburban trains.
What flood of memories Mentor
recalls to those familiar with the early
struggles and fame of the dead presi-
dent. Here he labored as student ana
congressman, and here the historic
meeting between Grant, Conkling and
Garfield, who was then a candidate
for the presidency, took place in that
little upper room. What occurred
then no one knows, as the great polit-
zeal trinity sleep with the fathers, but
the world knows that Conkling's ad-
vocacy ot Garfield in New York aided
largely in carrying that state for the
Republican national ticket. Then
followed Garfeld's election, the es-
arrangement of Conkling on account of
the New York appointments, the bit
ter strife between the administration
and the New York senators, the resig-
nations of Conkling and Platt, and
the assassination of Garfield by Gui-
teau. 1t was long ago demonstrated
that the murder of Garfield followed
the New York troubles and sprane
largely from them, as Guiteau was an
Anticipated fellow who had been
worked up to frenzy by the matter
And the old house at Mentor, whose
walls could tell il they would, wit.
messed the compact between Garfield
and Conkling that was broken a year
later and ended in the most fearful
tragedy of our time.-Ohio State

AGREED UPON THE BILL.
Democrats of the Senate Have Found a
Measure Acceptable to AL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Demo-
cratic steering committee virtually
it's labors on the compro
mise silver repeal bill today. 1t ex-
tends the provisions of the present
silver purchase law until October,
1894; provides for the coinage OF sill
yer now in the treasury and the re.
tirement of all paper currency, except
silver certificates, below SIS. No ref
erence is made whatever in the bill to
the bond question. Opinions differ as
to the time when the bill will be pre-
sented in the senate. 1t may be
handed in Tuesday or even earlier ii
it shall prove acceptable to the ma
iority.
Republican silver men are displeased
with the short time limit for the Sher-
man law to continue in force and will
probably oppose the bill solidly. The
Populists are also displeased with the
bill for the same reason. The bill will
be made an amendment to the present
law. 1t will be necessary to obtain
the signatures of torty-four members
to insure it's passage. Even then fill
clustering might prevent vote unless
some sort of closure is provided.
The terms of the proposed compro
mise in the senate were the subject o
a great deal of discussion in the house
this afternoon. The tact that author
ization for bonds is not a feature
brought relief to many OF the Republi
cans and western Democrats. The
Democratic leaders are in favor OF the
bill, and when it comes to the hous,
there will be a suspension of the rule;
in order TO give compromise the right
of way. The Democratic leaders seen
| to feel certain it will find favor witt
both wings of the party in the lowel
house. The prevailing opinion is that
the ultra silver Democrats, in view o
the necessity for show OF party har
mony. will content themselves will
voting against the measure. A goot
proportion OF the silver Democrati
will probably, however, vote for TIN
compromise if their votes are needed
to secure it's passage. Republican,

ABSOLUTELY PURE

so few pretenses TO fiorid oratory or
academic graces as Governor McKin-
ley is less hazardous than at first
sight il would appear. The pages OF
Is large, well printed volume contain
few, il any, rhetorical passages or
studied effects of defamation, but
they are filled with luminous discus
sion OF public affairs. A schoolboy
having a recitation to declaim would
find nothing here suited to his imIta-
tive powers of elocution. but the man
OF affairs desiring information on cur
rent questions of politics, and aiming.
moreover, at the acquisition of the
art of public debate, could have no
better work of reference. Governor
Mckinley, while man of strong po-
litical convictions, is not a partisan
in his methods OF public discussion.
He invariably defines the position of
his opponents, and presents an i'm
partial analysis of their arguments.
His speeches are conspicuous for fair
ness and sincerity. He strives always
to bring out clearly what is essential
to the arguments on each side, and
then to adjust the scales with an even
hand and an unpreludiced eye. 1t is
this habit OF mind that imparts edu-
cational value to his speeches and
methods OF discussion. Governor Nc
Kinley's speeches cannot becompared
with the splendid rhetoric and artistic
oratory of Charles Sumner; but who
ever reads them will obtain access to
a treasury OF accurate information on
public questions. He will also learn
the rudiments of the art of conduct
ing debate with malice toward none
and charity for all, with answering
loyalty to moral convictions.
As debater, Governor Mckinley
has many of the best characteristics
of Gladstone. He has the same cour-
tesy of manner in replying to oppo-
nents; the same dignity of style and
deliberation of manner; the same
power OF concentration of thought
upon the core of the matter in hand;
the same argumentative killin parry
ing objections; and the same fiery
earnestness in holding fast to his con-
victions. He is, however, less verbose
than the great commoner, and more
direct in his logical processes. He
never loses the thread of his argument
in maze of sophristries. His sem
tences are always terse and never In a
tangle. He argues invariably at short
range, and with destructiveforce when
his batteries are brought to bear upon
an enemy's position.

The Federal Election Laws.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: So far
as the south is commemorative section
from which most of the indignation
comes-they have never been enforced
there at any time, and they have not
prevented the practical elimination of
the colored vote from politics. From
that point of view they have turned
out to be a failure and a mockery,
and their repeal will merely legalize an
existing condition that has been
brought about by illegal and out
rageous proceedings. They are to be
repealed not because they signify
"bayonet rule" and not because they
tend to help the negro voters of the
south, but because they stand in the
way of Democratic election frauds in
the large cities of the north. That is
the plain and controlling truth about
the matter; and the people will not
fail to understand it and to hold re-
sponsible for it the party that expects
to profit by it.

DISOBEYED THE ORDERS
And Caused the Wort Wreck in
the History of Michigan.
Battle Creek a Scene of Carnage-Twenty
six Lives Lost and Twenty-seven
Severely injured.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 21.-The
who now crouches affrighted in a
prison cell-led to tine greatest rail
road holocaust in the history of Mich
igan yesterday and twenty-six lives
paid the penalty of a moments negli-
gence. Two trains, both laden with
passengers met in a direct head-on
collision on the Grand Trunk railroad
at 3:45 yesterday morning in the
suburbs of this city, and that the
number of dead and injured is not
fourfold greater is due to the circum.
stance that the collision occurred in
the suburbs of the city where the
tracks slackened speed.
AS it was twenty-six charred, dis
figured and unrecognizable bodies lie
in the morgue and twenty-seven
marred and bleeding victims are
groaning in agony in Charity hospital.
The two trains met face to face,
both regular trains, although each
was considerably behind time. One
was a Raymond and Whitcomb
special train returning from the
Worlds Fair and the other a regular
Pacific express, west bound. The en-
gineer of the Raymond and Whitcomb
train had positive orders to sidetrack
for the express at siding one mile
east of this city. He ignored his or
ders and 600 feet beyond the siding
he met the east bound train fulton.
Both trains were wrecked and half
the train of the Pacific express de-
molished and burned. The Raymond
and Whitcomb train, being composed
almost entirely of heavy sleepers, es-
capped serious injury and none OF the
excursionists lost their lives. The en-
gineers and firemen of both trains
jumped in time, but twenty six passen-
gers OF the Pacific tram met almost
instant death. The day coaches in
the front part of this train were tele-
scoped and burned, and OF the twenty
six remains at the morgue tonight
conjectures can only be made AS to
the identity of six; twenty remain en-
tirely unidentified.
Engineer Henry Wooley and Con-
ductor Scott OF train No. 6 were both
arrested and placed under $4,000
bonds FOR their appearance. Engineer
Wooley said to the Justice that while
he was oiling up at the depot Con-
ductor Scott came to him with orders
and said that No. 8 had gone through
and the dispatcher was crazy because
they had not got out. Wooley hur-
ried up his oiling and wheE he got
into the cab told the conductor he
was ready to go, and asked if he was
sure No. had gone through. Scott
said yes, she had, and Wooley's fire
man heard him say so. Scott further
said the road was all clear and they
started out. When they got into the
yards Wooley saw an engine, which
he supposed at first was a switch en-
CINE, but seeing moment later that
it was coming too fast shut off and
was at a dead stand when No.
struck them. He asked Scott after
the wreck about the order and Scott
muttered that he thought No. 8 had
gone.
Scott denies the story which Wooley
tells

bury's four year-old horse Directum
set the stallion mark at 2:O5a in the
free-for-all trot at Cumberland park
today. Hamlin's Nightingale and
Hazel Wilkes were the only other
starters, and after the black whirlwind
had won two heats in slow time dis
tance was waived and he was driven
for a record. The first quarter was
covered in :32, the half in 1:04, an
the last half was trotted with a run
ner in 1:01a. This smashes the stall
lion record, the four-year record and
the race record for trotters.

THE TRUCKER RIVER.
There VIII Be no More Sawdust
Dumped Into 1t.

Dumped Into 1t.
The Fish Commissioners feel elated over
the good news their attorney received
recently from an official representing the
Truckee Lumber Company.
A few weeks ago THE CALL stated that
the Commissioners had brought suit against
the Truckee Lumber Company for having
transgressed the law relative to the Dump
ing of sawdust and other deleterious mat
ter into rivers.
The Commissioners notified the mill
owners several times before suit was COM
menced that unless they deSisted in dump
ing the refuse of the mills into the river
they would enforce the law to its fullest
extent against them.
The Gillmen failed to recognize the I'M
portance OF the communication and con-
tinued to empty into the Truckee River
tons upon tons OF sawdust, shavings, etc.
Now that the company has been legally
called to account it recognizes the fact that
the cheapest way out Of tight place IS to
obey the Commissioners Instructions. The
latter have been notified through their
attorney that the company has no desire to
fight the case and will dispose of the saw
dust in any way the Commissioners may
designate.
AS there is only one good and cheap way
BY which the mill ever can dispose of
their dust without conslgning 1t to the
stream, it is presumed that they will accept
of the suggestion that has been offered and
burn il. AS it will not take much III oney
TO construct some kind of receptacle in
which the refuse of the mills can be de-
stroyed the Commissioners are in hopes
that in future the Truckee River will be
free from stuff that is very destructive 10
