TALKING On POLYGAMY
Presbyterian Assembly Discuss
the Subject Today.
THE UNION SEMINARY BOYCOTT.
A New York State Elder Tries to Secure
Reconsideration, but Fsils-An EHcit-
ing Scene Between Rev. DR.. Roberts and
MoDougall over n Pamphlet.

PITTsBURe, May 27.-The Presbyte.
rian general assembly resumed work this
morning after the rest over Sabbath.
The question of polygamy has been un.
der discussion today. Visiting minis
ters occupied pulpits in the different
churches Sunday.
Considerable interest was excited by
the announcement at the short session
held Saturday by the report of the com
mittee on theological seminaries, read
by DIR. Il. G.. Monfort of Cincinnati,
but the interest was at once extin-
guished by the statement Of DIR. Mon.
fort that there had been no questions of
controversy before the committee, and
that all its votes had been entirely
unanimous. The chairman then read
the report summarizing the facts re-
garding various seminaries connected
with the denomination. The election
of several professors received the in.
dorsement of the assembly. 1t was
subject of remark that those seminaries
which have accepted the full plan of
assembly control, were recommended
for fuller endowment, while an omin-
ous silence was maintained in regard TO
all others
Pending the adoption of the report
Dr. K. +. White of the Lane Seminary
directory, took the floor to thank the
committee for the tenor of its report in
regard to Lane seminary. He said
that the distrust of the church in that
seminary would be removed if all the
facts in the case were known. Vacancies
on the board had been filed according
to policy adopted over year ago, and
the purpose of the whole board was to
make seminary thoroughly worthy OF
the church.
The report of the seminaries commit.
tee was adopted without further debate
and without division.
The scene caused by the attempt of
John H. Dey, an elder from the presby-
terry of Westchester, N. Y, to secure a
reconsideration of the action by which
the boycott" on Union seminary was
instituted, followed. The church, he
said, should be magnanimous in It's
action, and should have regard to the
unity of the church, avoiding the posi-
bility of the entrance of a wedge of di-
vision. The motion to reconsider was
laid on the table.
A pamphlet has been distributed in
the assembly, in which DIR. Roberts of
the board of home missions, is quoted
that the boards receipts have fallen off
S63, 900 since Mr.. Thomas McDougall of
Cincinnati issued pamphlet attacking
the board for spending over 81, 800, 900
in erecting mission building in New
York. Mr. McDougall wrote to Moder-
ator Booth demanding retraction.
This caused an exciting scene, which
soon subsidized.

THE U. p. ASSEMBLY.
Freeduen's and Foreign Missions Under
Discussion Today.

hhu SuutT
Discussion Today.
PITrsBURG, May ~. - The United
Presbyterian general assembly today
took up the subject Of freedmen's mis-
sions and foreign missions.
Sunday visiting ministers occupied
pulpits in this city.
The appeal of DR.. W. II. Blair, the
Adamsville elder accused of selling
liquor without prescriptions to habitual
drunkards and to minors came up Sat
urday. The Rev. J. II. Hutchinson de.
Tended the synod's action in finding
Blair guilty, and made lengthy and
scathing speech upon Blair's acts and
Rev. ]. A. Bailey's defense. When the
question was called Moderator Nc
Michael expressed his displeasure that
so many commissioners had been absent
during the first half Of the trial. He
said they could not expect to vote intel
ligently. A motion was made to sus-
tain the appeal, when a wordy discus.
sion Of ecclesiastical law brought the
hour set for home mission board report,
and the Blair matter had to lay over.
The home missions report ocoasioned
about as much oratory and dissension as
was possible without acrimony, and oc-
cupied the remainder of the session.
Most of the objection to it arose from
the fact that the request for appropria-
tions was increased over last year.
Amendment after amendment poured
in on the report at the conclusion of its
seriatim reading, and, by the time it
was finally adopted, its originators
hardly knew it. AS, however, the $780,
900 asked for survived, the committee
was fairly content.

MIKE HARTER
The Well Known Democrat, Talks
About Plan to Raise More
Money.

Hon. NJ. ID. Harter of Mansfield, n
former respected Cantonian, has expressed
himself quite freely on the future policy
of the government to raise revenue now
that the income tax law is unconstitu-
tional. Mr.. Harter advocates the plan
suggested by this paper and we give his
views as follows:
"The tax on all kinds, or nearly all
kinds of tobacco, should be increased TO
where the result would be an increase of
revenue from this source of not less than
S15, 600, 900. The tax on beer should be
increased $50, 900, 900, which would not
result in any decrease in the size of the
glass or increase in the cost to the drinker.
The whisky tax, already high, should be
enlarged enough to add to the revenue
from this source about S15, 600, 900. Tea
and coffee should be taxed enough to cost
the consumer about one mill per cup, OF
cent for each ten cups, which tax would
bring in about $50, 900, 900 in ordinary
years.
"There you have an increase In the in.
come of the United States of 800, 900, 00C
without putting noticeable burden upon
anybody. With this simple legislation
our deficiency would be transferred into
a wholesome surplus of $40, 900, 900 and
no calling or industry would suffer and
no individual citizen would have any just
ground for complaint. sit is but fair tc
say that II the Mckinley bill had moi
placed sugar on the free list and granted
an outrageous bounty the growers on
sugar, for the sake Of increasing the
already scandalously high discriminating
tariff taxes which go into private pockets
instea Of the public treasury, we would In
the past four years have had S240, ,00C,
900 more revenue, and instead of an In
creased debt, approximating $4,000, 00(
on June 3, 1895, would have shown about
| $50, 900, 900 surplus and gold reserve o
about S170, 100000 with no increase o.
public liabilities. In other words, but fol
the wretched measure known as the Nc
Kinley bill, MIR. Cleveland would be buy
ing in and cancelling instead of selling
United States bonds.
Mr.. Cleveland's course in the sale o.
bonds was forced upon him, and the skill
and sound sense he has displayed In thu
matter are deserving of the highest praise
~ feel that the party, II any, whicl
boldly declares for free coinage at 10 to
would be well to buy coffin and order
shroud. However, with all the noise an,
uproar, the net result will, / fear, be
couple of sneaking, dodging platfrom
facing both ways, kind Of political tral

CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLIC.
Wreaties Opening q Way 70 . Combine
tion Of Countries.


WASHINGTON, May 27.-Few treaties
Of far reaching importance have re.
Gently been made between Nicaragua
and Honduras, and official copies have
just been received in Washington. The
treaties have been under negotiations
Tor some time, and were finally put into
effect by proclamation on the 10Th of
last month. They are the first practical
step toward the formation Of Central
American nation out Of the several
small republics Of Nicaragua, Honduras,
Guatemala, Salvador and Costa Rioa.
The first treaty forms defensive al.
liance In case of foreign war, and an
offensive alliance against common ene-
mics. 1t obliterates commercial frontiers
80 that foreign goods once admitted to
one country are free to enter the other
An express provision is made against
the possibility of war between the coun-
tries by an article requiring difference
TO be adjusted by arbitration by some
government ON the American continent.
Article 90 is the one looking to the
union in a single nation, and is as fol-
lows: "The high contracting parties
solemnly declare that they cannot and
will consider as foreign the other Cen
tral American countries, and that they
will labor constantly TO maintain the
family bonds and the greatest cor
diality In their relations, making a
common cause with them In case of
war or other difficulties with foreign
countries, and mediating in their inter
national relations. To this end the
present treaty will be submitted to
their consideration, inviting them to
subscribe to it as a common Central
American treaty, until the arrival of
the day when they shall be incorporated
in a single nation"

Washington, May 27.-Ex-Representa-

and It was significant that the other day
when the executive committee Of the DEM
ocrat editorial association met the at
tempt to pass a silver resolution proved
a failure.
"The fact is that there is great re-
viayal of business in the state. The fac
tories are rushed with work, the farmers
are doing better and there is very little
idle labor If wheat goes to dollar there
will be little heard about the free coinag

THE SHIRT WAIST
Very Popular Again This Season.
1t is a Thing Of Beauty
and low

The shirt waist, like Banquo's ghost
will not down" 1t Is too much Of a joy
forever, and may easily be made n thing
of beauty. In its newest and prettiest
form IL is made of swiveled silk, which is
we'll known to be u combination of silk
and cotton, which goes through the laun
dry in most satisfactory manner. There
is one particular shade which is very at
tractive, and may be described rs rasp-
berry, with tiny seed figures all over its
surface, in white This Is made up into
q shirt waist with box x-plaited front and
yoke back, full sleeves gathered into
stiff cuffs, and is belted beneath the skirt
The color of the shirt waists as they are
displayed on the counters suggest an old
fashioned garden, with their marigold
and primrose yellows, carnation pinks,
pea-pod greens, lilac and corn-flower blue.
Then there is another shade which our
grandmothers knew as buff" and what
"a treacherous color, too; for droop of
tea or perspiration invariably results in a
black spot or discoloration, which nothing
can remove
Cotton cheviot in uneven checks is
again largely used for shirt waists, but is
not as cool for summer as percales or
linen. A very cool and pretty waist is
made of Madras gingham in the true
Creole plaid, combining red and yellow.
1t is fastened up the front with bright
gold buttons half the size of penny, and
has gold studs in the cuffs. A certain
Gotham belle has a set of buttons made Of
out of date gold dollars.
Sheer grass linen is, no doubt, the
material for the ultra fashionable shirt
waists, sometimes it shows central box
plait, with tiny tucks in clusters on each
side all edged with narrow Valenciennes,
which may be either in white or the fash
ionable suede tint, and then the lingerie
callars and cuffs will be of white linen
lawn hemstitched and lace-edged. These
are never starohed, but allowed to fall
soft and limp.

County on the Free silver Issue
Democrats Lining Up For Sound
Money.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Martins Ferry, May 27.-The disturb
ing element in democratic politics in
Belmont county now is free silver. A
few weeks ago when the state
committee and Allen W. Thurman
declared for free coinage at 16 to there
was great hustle among the leaders to
get under cover and those who could not
were dlscretely silent and since the lead
ing democrats all over Ohio have declared
themselves as opposed to free silver IL
TO and have come out straight against
Thurman and the Ohio state committee,
there has been great awakening The
question whether it is better to be on the
side of Thurman and a small coterie of
sslf-constituted leaders, or with the
national administration, is the one that
all independents, are endeavoring to an
swer. The result is that this county will
send solid anti-silver delegation to the
convention, and the rank and file of the
party will be with the delegates.
An effort has been madoAby Thur
mans lieutenants TO have the present
delegation thrown over as irregular and a
new one appointed, but there is no hope
for the success of such movement A
month ago nine democrats in ten were for
free silver.
