KILL THE WILSON BILL.

The hard times of the past year will
be greatly increased 10y the passage OF
the infamous Wilson Bill. Every pos
stable effort should be made to defeat
the measure-to delay it m any event:
We can better afford a few months OF
uncertainty than four years OF general
adversity, suffering and distress. Under
the most favorable circumstances, the
" ilson Bill, if it become law, cannot
be changed until the summer OF 1891;
We earne-tly recommend that you VIII
urge United States Senators, lrrespec
tive of party, to defeat or by every par
liamentary method delay the passage OF
this Measure. -,
On November 9th, the people Will
have an opportunity to speak - their
verdict must be awaited.

From the Texas Iiluminator.
The American pulpit and press to-
day are welding more influence to-
ward the normal advancement OF the
race, than at any other period in the
history of the race.
From the Christian Alex Clipper.
A very prominent northern white
gentleman was in this city recently
and in a conversation asked if it
were true that the young women of the
race were immoral. He said that such
was the opinion largely held in the
North. He was emphatically assured
that such was not the case and that
our people had been misrepresented.
We are not surprised to learn that
such ultra opinions. are held. But we
are surprised that nation usually so
shrewd should display such woeful ig-
norance of what in taking place un-
der their noses. The, homes, the Socie-
ties and activities of the colored peo-
pie display as much refnementS as
those Of the white.

RAwLIys, Wyo.. May 13.-The receivers
OF the Union Pacific road are taking steps
to put an end to the movements OF the
industrials over the lines in their charge.
This end may be peaceably accomplished,
but II resistance IL made II will be met
with bullets, and possibilities of serious
results exist.
A body of $50 men led by q man named
Shelter, has seized train on tho Oregon
Short Line and is moving east. All the
rolling stock has been taken from Mont
pelier and the tanks emptied of water,
and also at Cheyenne.
Judge Riner of the United States court
has granted an injunction to restrain the
men from using the property of the road,
and writs for the arrest Of the leaders have
been placed in the hands of tho United
States marshal to be used in case the
army comes into Wyoming. Shelter and
his men managed to pass through Mont
pelier and seemed to be in a desperate
mood. On receipt of this information,
Marshal Rankin and 12 men left Chey-
enne to meet the industrials and carry out
the instructions Of the court at all hazards.
In case this force is not large enough to
do the work. the troops will be called for
from Salt Lake City or Cheyenne.
Later word was received that the men
had abandoned the stolen train at Coke
vile. Wyo. II is expected they will board
the first freight train coming east, in

ter them at Granger, the junction OF the
Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific.

L. Usuai.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The course of
the proceedings in the senate this week
will depend largely on the result OF the
republican caucus to be held Monday
night. The democrats are hopeful that
the caucus will decide on treating the tar
if in what they consider a 'businesslike
manner" and letting tho bill proceed on
Its course without much speech making
and without the effect of delay which, the
democrats claim, has been displayed by
some of the republican senators so far in
the debate.
There is unquestionably large element
on the republican side of the chamber op-
posed 10 any course which smacks in the
least Of filibustering. II the conservative
element in the republican ranks wins In
the caucus. the present agreement as to
the hours for debate will probably be OBJ
served. Senator Aldrich said to-day that
he expected the proceedings this week to
be very much on the order Of those OF last
week. He did not believe there would be
an effort to change the hours and thought
the entire week would be devoted TO tho
chemical schedule, Of which seven para
graphs out of IS contained in il have been
disposed of.
