THE LAST HOURS
Of the Convention of National Republican
Leagues Without Special Note-Money
Not Touched Upon.

Cleveland, O., June 21-There was
nothing exciting about the last hour
in the fight of the annual convention
of the National League of Republican
Clubs. The resolutions, which have been
published properly for some time. were
adopted without preface by their intro
Queer or parley on the part of those for
whose consideration they were intro
duced. No roll call was had on their
adoption and a lusty chorus of yeas
against one or two nays showed that it
was almost the unanimous sense of the
the convention that it had no power to
proclaim its preference for gold or sill
YER, for protection or free trade, or for
any presidential candidate who is push
ing his claims for recognition before the
nominating convention of the party 10
be held in 1895. The most conservative
men are satisfied with the outcome
and decided before today's session to
make no cutlery. They were fully heard
in committee, and assert that the result
shows sentiment in favor of bimetal-
ism that will spread to the national con-
Ventlon next year. The more radical
ones hope for free silver, but all would
be more than pleased with any sort Of
plank which faVors the white metal
whether that plank fixes their favorite
ratio or not. Once in the platform. they
believe the double standard would rap
Idly gain in favor.
There was no discordant voice in the
big gathering, which dissolved a little af-
ter noon. Many sacrifices were made for
the sake of harmony, and it appeared to
be the wish of the body that it should cd
on record before the world as united on
all points at issue Whatever differences
might exist beneath the surface.
With the exception of the 16 to / men,
the speakers were very cautious in ex-
pressing a decided preference on the
currency question. None of the presi-
Dental candidates came to the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Mckinley arrived tonight after
everything was over He was met at the
depot by the leading republican club of
the city and enthusiastically welcomed.
Most of the delegates had returned to
their homes, but those who remained
were introduced, shook hands and chat
ted awhile with the famous Onoan,
who held reception in the corridors of
the Hollenden hotel
Chauncey NJ. Depew was expected UP
to the last moment, but excused himself
on the ground of other engagements.
Thomas b. Reed was invited but de-
clined, and Senator Allison did the same.
Maine was one of the three states not Of
hcially represented at the convention,
and the enemies Of MIR. Reed are pointing
to this fact with much glee. The other
two states were New Hampshire and
North Carolina, which were, however,
unofIicially represented.

He outstays his welcome in town and
is brought under the eye of the law, which
gives to Migrants q short shrift. An ANUS
ing little police court scene then ensues.
The magistrate is squatter of the old
school, self educated, self made, and now,
under the exigencies of the now social life
of the colony, taking upon himself novel
and burdensome responsibilities for tho
sake of acquiring position for his chill
dren in society" He has invited tho WIS.,
itors staying with him to attend tho court
and is in consequence the moro anxious to
display his powers. Our deprccating tramp
is brought before him, condemned to listen
to short honily on the righteousness of
work and the iniqdity of ioafng, and an
eloquent peroratlon is brought to an em-
phatic close with a Latin tag-goodness

trate picked 1t up--oyor which he stumbles
and which he mispronounces. In his best
Apologize voice, the tone of depreciation
just sufficiently overdone to throw the
laugh against his approver and give no
cause for charging him with impertinence,
the occupant of the dock leans forward and
murmurs:
"Your worship will excuse me, 1 am
sure 1 am willing to be fined, even sent
to jail, without complaining, but cannot
listen without protest to misquotation of
the author who soothes my weary mo-
ments. The phrase runs, your worship,
Cum labor extuderit fastidia.
The position of the worthy squatter can
be imagined, and he hastily gives his un-
welcome prisoner few hours notice to
leave the town.
Neither is the tranp's boast unfounded.
His acquaintance with Horatian satire is
thorough, and though rough, dirty and re-
pulsive he is "a ripper scholar than many a

As to uypno.isrn.

No less parsonage than DR.. Parkhurst
has taken the trouble to point out anew
that nobody ever heard of anybody's being
hypnotized to make him do something
good Hypnotism, tho doctor thinks from
the evidence, is always exerted to promote
evil, and for that reason he is inclined to
condemn it,
Tho fact commented on by the doctor
has often been spoken of, but it really con-
stitutes no fault of hypnotism. 1t is sim
ply the fault Of human nature Man gray
itates toward the bad. When hypnotism
is exerted in tie Same direction with this
natural grayitation, it is effective. When
it is exorted in the opposite direction, it is
simply trying to pull the load up hill, and
it fails Thoro are no doubt plenty of
persons, especially ladies, who go about
weaving subtle hypnotic charms around
men for the noblo purpose of leading them
Alright, just as The bad people whom we
hear Of through tho police reports go about
hypnotizing for ILL., But the good hypno-
lists work at tremendous disadvantage
1t is up grade for them and down grade
for tho bad hypnotists As between
Syengalic friend trying to hypnotizea man
to stay out and play poker and wife try
ing to hypnotic him to come homo the
oddsare with the friend.
Perhaps hypnotism will develop to
point whero it can overcome this natural
disadvantage Or perhaps mankind will get
over the brow Of the hill so that the way
to good will be a down grade.-Chicago

Ofthe Aldermanic Committee to Investigate
the Dry Plug Matter.
Another meeting of the special com
mittee of the city council was held yes
terday afternoon to further investigate
the fire of Tuesday night, which de-
stroyed Solicitor Little's residence on
Underwood hill. All of the committee
were present. as well as a dozen or more
citizens. The meeting, by agreement
was held at the fire plug, and the plug
and cutoff valve which have been the
subject of so much discussion, were thor
oughly tested.
The firemen claimed that they turned
the plug and the cutoff valve both ways
simultaneously several times without
any water flowing out. The water COM
pany eontended that even though had
the water main been filled with water it
would not have run out while this opera
ton was going on. They claimed that
the usual amount of wafer was in the
main, and to prove their contention
proved that water passing through the
same main flowed out at the hydrants in
several yards on Underwood hill
Yesterday afternoon two firemen were
put to work. one at the plug and one at
the valve, opening and closing them. 1t
requires a different number of revolu-
tions to open the two, and while the fire.
men were working at them the water
flowed out freely,

tion of privilege and stated that he had
received telegram from the president
of the American Protective association
demanding that he give his authority for
his statement regarding immortality of
public schools in the United States or
else apologize for his statements. He
proceeded to read from the published re-
ports the extracts which he had said were
unfit to be quoted. A large proportion
of the inmates of houses of prostitution
mentioned in Boston were stated to have
aseribed their downfall to public schools.
Indecent publications were stated to be
widely circulated among the pupils and

Birmineham,s Packing Houses

The new packing house at Avondale
will make the third packing house for
Birmingham. These packing houses
promise to spring up rapidly in the
south. The latest improved methods of
svaing meats by refrigerators enable the
packers to slaughter meat at any time
Before this means of saving meat was
adopted hogs were killed only in cold
weather. If a farmer killed a beef he
had to divide with his neighbors to keep
it from spelling. The warm weather in
the south has been the onlyNobstacle in
the way of raising meat, and now that
this drawback is overcome the south will
certainly become a great meat producing
country. 1t costs very little to raise hogs
or cattle in the south. In fact, they
fatten on the natural grasses of the
woods and field.

SECOND EDITION
THE MONEY QUESTION.
A Debate Between Hon. Richard II. Clarke
and Capt Joseph F. Johnston May
Be Had Here Soon.

An Age-Herald reporter was informed
yesterday that it was likely the early
days of July would be enlivened by a
Joint discussion of the money question,
probably running several evenings, be-
tween Hon. Richard H. Clarke of Mobile
and Capt Joseph F. Johnston.
Just how far the matter has progressed
toward a definite arrangement the re-
porter was unable to learn, but it is GER
tain that gentlemen on both sides have
taken great deal of interest in the sug-
gestion and hope to see tAa debate ar
ranged for.
While trying to obtain some definite
information regarding the matter yes
terday an Age-Herald reporter ran across
a delegate re- the late sound money CON
vention in Memphis, who made the fol-
lowing statement TO him:
"While in Memphis at the sound mon
ey convention one OF our delegates
either Mr.. 7. T. EIillman or Mr.. j. d.
Moore. said to Mr.. Clarke that they
would like very much to hear him dis
cuss the money question in Birmingham
with some leader 'of the free silver DEM
ocrats. Some one else standing by sug-
gested Capt. Joseph Il. Johnston as a sill
yer spokesman. Mr.. Clarke replied that
he would be very glad to take part in
such discussion; that If Captain john
ston was willing his (Mr.s Clarke 81
friends in Birmingham might arrange
for the discussion, to be held any time
after the 1st of July that until about
that date ihe would be absent fAm
home and quite busy at Washington,
Tuscaloosa and some of the courts in
the southern end of the state.
II don't know whether anything was
done during MI Clarke's absence from
the state. [ see he has returned, now
ever, and possibly some of Capt John
stonis friends have taken hold of the
suggestion and are making plans for a
meeting."

A Close Alliance.

Amapala, Salvador, June 21.--Presi-
dents Gutierrez of Salvador, Bonilla of
Honduras and Zelaya of Nicaragua have
been in conference here several days to
prevent exiles of any of these countries
residing in either of the others from To-
menting revolutions. The absence of
such an agreement has been the most
fruitful source of revolutions in these
three countries, and the presidents in
conference have reached a practical I'M
Outstanding, which is confidently ex-
pected to eradicate the evil and to as
sure peace in Central America. The
war between Honduras and Nicaragua
last year, which resulted in Bonlla be-
ing made president of Honduras, and
the revolution in Salvador little later,
when the Ezeta brothers were expelled,
have caused the presidents here to give
great thought to the greatest OBJ
stacle to Central American union. Qua
temala, Costa Rica and Salvador have
negotiated treaties of close alliance.

No REORGANIZATION wanted

Baltimore, June 21.-The bondholders
of the Macon and Northern railroad met
at the Office of the Baltimore Trust and
Guarantee company today and rejected
the proposal that they join in the reor-
ganization of the Georgia Central rail-

part. The reason for the rejection was
that the terms offered under the reorgan-

Another meeting of the bondholders is,
however, proposed to be held shortly to
hear a proposition which it was an
