their name is legion. The old mother
Church was shorn of her power and
had to reform her methods, and is no
longer the dictator Of kingdoms. No
man can make me fear the "secret, in
sidious Vaccinations" of the Romish b
Church in this country while such
men as Pat Walsh belong to it. ]
would trust Pat Walsh with every in.
terest have in good government and
the religious liberty Of my posterity.
Yes, trust him far sooner than many
of the bigots I know in Protestant
Churches. The Sisters Of Charity
took my mother when she was a
friendless orphan in Savannah,
when the terrible scourge had
carried her parents to single grave,
and the panic-stricken people were
fleeing the doomed city. They shield
ed her and cared for her when no one
else would, snd she loved them all her
life. never see them in the great
cities moving so quietly along the
streets with their dark gowns and
modest hoods and kindly faces but
what I think Of their loving kindness
to her who was all the world to me:
We have one hundred and fifty
beautifully bound hymn books in our
Church that were presented by a
Northern lady. The book is the
standard "Laudes Domini" Of the
Presbyterian Church, and its hymns
are regarded as the best selection that
has ever been made, and yet many of
the most beautiful hymns were com
posed by Roman Catholics. John
Dryden, the poet laureate Of England,
has hymns there, and he was a Ro-
man Catholic. So has John Henry
Newman, the cardinal who wrote that
beautiful hymn, "Lead, Kindly
Light F. W. Faber, who wrote
'tThere is Wilderness in Gods Mer-
cy," was Catholic priest. Miss Ad-
elaide Proctor, another Roman Catho-
lie, has hymns in this book. The
whole complication should teach US
charity and tolerance. While Watts
and the Wesleys have much the larg
est number of hymns, the Presbytc-
rian authors are very few. The Epis-
copal authors are the most numerous
of all. The Unitarians are well rep
resented having such nota bic compos.
ers as William Cullen Bryant and
Mrs. Adams, who wrote "Nearer My
God to Thee Even Alice and
Phoebe Cary, who were Universalists
have hymns in there, and so has Tom
Moore, who was of no Church. 1t is
therepentant, grateful, loving heart
that gives praise in song and it does
not matter to what Church the author
belongs if he sings in sincerity and
truth.
There are six million Roman Catho-
lies in the Uniter States, and this
count includes the children. There
are ten million Protestants, not count
ing children who have not made pro-
fession. Then why should we fear
them? Some of our over-zealous
protestants have sounded an alarm
without provocation. l do not wish
any more of their Duluth papers.

SILVER AND THE PLATFORM.

The following is the financial plank
of the platform adopted by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention at Chi
cago, in 1892:
1--WE denounce the Republican leg

1890, ,res a cowardly makeshit, fraught
with Possibilities Of danger in the fu-
ture, which should make all Of its
supporters, as we'll as it's author,
anxious for its speedy repeal. We
hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country,
and TO the coinage of both gold and
silver without discrimination against
either metal, or charge for mintage,
but the dollar unit Of coinage of both
metals mustbe ofequal intrinsic and ex-
changeable valueor be adjusted through
international agreement, or by such
safeguards of legislation as shall in.
sure the maintenance of the parity Of
the two metals and the equal power OF
every dollar at all times in the mar.
kets and in payments of debts; and
we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeem
able in such coin. We insist upon
this policy as especially necessary for
the protection of the farmers and la
boring classes, the first and most de-
fenceless victims of unstable money
and fuctuating currency.
Before the adoption Of the platform,
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Patterson OF Colorado.
secured the floor and moved to amend
the above by the insertion of the
word GREE" between the words
'the" and coinage" in the eighth
line, so as to make the platform read !:
ave hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money OF
the country and to the FREE coinage
of both without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage,
etc.
The Official Proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention, page 50, show that,
on call for the yeas and nays, the
motion of the gentleman from Colora-
do (NIr. Patterson) was lost. So the
Convention declined to put declara-
tion for GREE coinage in the platform.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.
PORTLAND, June 26 = Nathan Blum
concluded his testimony in the Chinese
conspiracy trial to-day, and passed
through the ordeal of cross-examination
without the least embarrassment. In his
direct testimony he said that number of
times they were compelled to land Chinese
through the courts. One instance was Oh
the arrival of a steamer about November
l6, 1892. Blum went to San francisco,
and Dunbar could not get the passengers
landed by Lotan. He wired Blum. and
Blum wired back for Dunbar to see Seid-
back, employ an attorney, and have the
Chinese landed through the courts
''Thirty-Lwo of them were landed, - said
Blum, ''by the court. 1t took just one
hours time, and cost Dunbar and Seid-
back $500. Through the ordinary chan
nels it would cost $1,000 to land the
Cinnamon, so we saved 81, 600, and after
that the Custom-house people seemed
sorry they had let this money slip through
their hands, and we did not have much
further trouble in getting them to land
our Chinamen.o
Regarding Seid backs and Thompson's
connection with the conspiracy, Blum
testified that Setback agreed when
Thompson's trip to China was contem-
plated, to give Thompson letters of intro
ducton TO parties in Hongkong, which
were expected to enable him to dispose of
400 Chinese certificates and buy the
steamer Zambes.
I'VE figured" said Blum, "that we get
about 100000 for the Chinese certificates
and advance money for bringing China
men over. We expected to pay $4,000
for the steamer, and invest part of the
money in Hongkong opium, clearing up
about 100000 besides this. We had made
an arrangement with London shipping
firm to buy the steamer Zambesi for
$50, 600, and was to pay $l2, 900 down on
the purchase price. Thompson took 400
certificates with him to China. We were
to bring Chinese direct from China, 200 to
be landed at Honolulu, the rest here, but
our company became financially en-
barrassed, and the scheme fell through.
Thompson left the certificates over there.
He sold them to Chinese and received
between $1,000 and $4,000 tor them.
The croSS-eXamination failed to bring
out any material discrepancies in Blum's
testimony. He said he had no promise
of executive clemency or of lighter
sentence. He expected to receive one or
the other, but had no promise Of either.
He admitted that since the former trial
of the case he had been in the East and
had adopted different assumed names.
He had met and travelled with Val Hast
ings in the East. He did not know
whether or not she was woman of ILL
repute.
Quite furry was created in court on
the cross-examination of Sig. Baer,
Notary Public, who put his seal on
large number of fraudulent Chinese GER
tificates. Mr.. Fulton asked him if he
had any regard for an oath. Baer replied
that he placed his seal on the certificates
for what there was in it. He said he had
a contract with Blum, Dunbar and Seid-
back to furnish certificates.
When Mr.. Fulton asked him why he
was not indicted by the Grand Jury,
Baer replied that he did not know. He
denied having been promised immunity
from punishment by the Government by
testifYing against the defendant

TERRIFIC STORM AT SEA.

Two Vessels Reach Port After Wealth
ering Furious Gales.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-After wealth
ering snowstorms and mountainous seas,
the British bark Salina, Captain Salter, has
arrived here from the iee-bound coast OF
Greenland. His crew met with great
hardships from the chilly blasts of the
Arctic regions. Such weather was never
experienced before by any of the crew.
The Salina left New York March 2Oth
for Greenland, and reached there, after
some little difficulty, on May 1st She
was loaded and sailed for this port Nav
18th. For the first few days she ex-
perienced ordinary weather, and got we'll
to the southwark, when there arose a
terrific gale. Although the wind howled
from the south it was intensely cold,
and rain, hail and sleet added to the
dangers. Every stretch of canvas was
taken in, and under bare poles the Salina
was driven with remarkable force through
icy seas.
All on board were engaged in making
things secure about the deck. It was al
most impossible to see half mile ahead,
and in constant danger OF striking an
iceberg. Captain Salter spent week of
intense anxiety. Sometimes the bark

bergs, so thickly was the region studded
with the dangerous distractions. Captain
Salter found his vessel about twenty
miles north of the place from where he
started. Nothing was heard or seen of
the Peary expedition. Captain Salter
says that the prevailing southerly winds
have rendered the approach to Greenland
almost impossible, as the sea is environed
with huge icabergs. The Salina sustained
no damage whatever.
Last night dispatch was received at
this port by Wessenberg & Co.; agents
for the Norwegian tank bark Unioner,
which sailed from this port June 1st for
Dieppe, stating that she had just arrived
there. almost complete wreck. To save
the vessel from total destruction Captain
Beez had to jettison large portion of her
cargo. The Unioner is new steel barge,
and left here laden with $4,000 gallons of
crude oil. Her water-tight bulkheads
were closed, and saved the crew from de-

OUTLOOK FOR FRUIT.
Conditions and Prospects in Easter1
States,

Conditions and Prospects In Eastern
states.
CHICAGO, June IA report has been
prepared by the Farmers ReUdeaO on the
condition and prospects of fruit in most
OF the States usually covered by itssre-
ports, from which the following excerpts
are taken:
Illinois-Few apples will be sent to
market, not more than one county in
nine reporting good crop. Peaches and
pears are regarded as complete failure;
plums are poor crop and cherries
light crop. The prospects for grapes and
black berries are heavy crop.
Michigan is among the fortunate States.
Her apple crop will be large and the par
tial failure in other States inSureS good
prices. Peaches promise well; pears,
average crop; plums, fair; cherries, good
crop; black berries, light crop; other small
fruits, fair.
Indiana-Apples, poor prospects, but
three-fourths of crop; pears, plums and
cherries, scarce: grapes and black berries,
large crop; other small fruits, poor pros
pect.
Missouri-The apple crop will be far
below the average, very few counties re-
porting 20 or so cent. One-fourth to one
half crop is common report, while in
some localities the yield Will be about
nothing. The quality will generally be
good. The best outlook is in the north
ern part of the State. Peaches are fail
ure; light crop OF pears; plums, half crop;
less than half crop cherries; grapes, good
average crop: black berries, average.
Wisconsin-Apples, plums and cher
ries, fair; blackberries, good; others a
shade below the average.
Minnesota-Apple prospects are poor,
and the yield for the State will be light;
plums, poor; grapes, small crops; black
berries, average; raspberries and others,
fair.
Reports from Ohio are too meager to
permit of giving full report but from
the information at hand the conditions as
to fruit appear to be similar to those in
Indiana and Illinois.

Singular Phenomenon Which Is Agi-
tating Indiana Farmers.
PERU Qnd.), June 27.-Many people
are considerably agitated over mysteri-
Gus circumstance which is thought to in
dicate disaster. 1t is the appearance of
the letter "B" plainly impressed upon
the crop of oats growing in fields. Acres
and acres in all parts of the country have
been found to be thus curiously marked,
and it is no wonder that imaginative per-
sons can associate the presence of the let
ter with forebodings of evil. 1t is esti-
mated that the only other time the letter
was ever found on oats in this manner
was just before the war of 1872 and the
late civil war, and that the 'B" stands for
''bloodshed," which may now be looked
for again. Each blade is marked with the
letter about half an inch long, being, as it
seems, pressed into the leaf and discerni-
BILE on the other side. Some say that the
phenomenon occurs quite frequently, but
none ex plain its origin.

TIE-UP AT Los ANGELES.
Los ANGELES, June 27.-All Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe trains which have
hitherto pulled out of here with Pullman
cars attached were to-day tied up. The
Santa Fe overland train, eastbound,
which should have left here at O'Clock
this morning, is still here. Superintend-
enU Beamer was informed at 6.l5 by the
train dispatcher that the train was made
up with the exception of two tourist
Pullman cars, and the switchmen had
positively refused to handle the Pull
man. 1t was ascertained that orders were
received some time last night at the head
quarters of the union from Chicago to
commence the boycott, and this was the
first result. There was a passenger list
of about forty persons, and almost all of
them were ticketed for long-distance
points, but their money will be refunded
or the tickets made good from the time
the train may start.
The Southern Pacific train which was
scheduled TO leave here at P. NJ. is stand
ing still in the depot, the conductor re-
fusing to leave until the Pullmans are de-
tached. The company is equally firm.
Most of the passengers who are ticketed
for long distances have remained on the
train all the afternoon, in the hopes that
some compromise would be reached. The
next Southern Pacific train is scheduled
to leave here at 7:45, but will probably
meet similar fate.
The evening outbound overland had
to be abandoned and indications are that
no more through trains will be sent out
on either road until the boycott is taken
off.
A dispatch was received from Superin-
tendent Fillmore to the effect that the
employees should not be allowed to be de-
ceived in this contest, as the sleeping
cars OF both classes are owned by the
Southern and Central Pacific Companies,
as shown by inside initials on the cars
and the annual report of the Southern
Pacific. The dispatch said the cars are
merely operated by the Pullman Com
pany for account of the Southern Pacific
Company, and that by delaying traffic an
injury is done the railroad company in
stead of the Pullman Company, but as
the Pullman Company's name appears
on the outside of the cars the men could
not see it in that light.
The Southern Pacific has already re-
deemed large number OF tickets.

PORTLAND, June 27.-Trains on the

Outrageous Attack Upon the Rights OF

"The bitterness of the contest over

that one of the Kingston (Kas.) delegates

No more outrageous attack upon the

no more audacious denial OF the right OF

we are told that the moment these
woman-suffragists are given their way
politics will become pure, justice will
