President WIN Revoke Order Consolidat.
Ing Pension Agencies

Washington, April l2.-rhs sweeping
order of President Cleveland effectiDg a
consolidation of pension agencies will be
revoked by President Mckinley, ii pres
ent plans are carried out. Though 1t is
stated that no conclusion has been
reached on the matter, the President has
had time to inquire into it and to hcar
protests Of Congressional delegations
and it is learned that he has become
practically convinced that 1t should
never be allowed to become operative.
: The orier is to tai Feet september
1st. but will doubtlee be rescin0ed long
before then. Commi or of Pensions
Evans shares this opinion and he today
forwarded for the consideration of the
President and Secretary Bliss q report
setting out that instead of making q
saving OF considerably over 500, 900 in
the way of olerk hire. etc., it would
increase the expenditures BY $500, 900.
This is accounted for BY the character Of
the business Of the agencies, the report
claiming that the agencies are where
rentals, clerk hire and similar expenses
are not comparatively high.

Russian RevolutIonist. discovered.

London, April 12 The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says 1t Ia
stated In we'll informed circles that an
other nest of plotters was discovered
there few days ago in Serglus street,
one of the most fashionable thorough
fares. The police raided q private lodging
house belonging to a we'll known Russian
prince. The raid was mnde during the
night aud the police found a secret print
ing press with mass Of proaiamations
and large quantity of other revolution
Rry literature.
A mum ber Of arrests have been made.
Most of the suspects are young persons
and both sexes are included. 1t Is under
stood that the conspiracy is no way con-
cerned with the labor strike and 1t seems
probable that there is a recrudescencs OF
the old revolutionary movement.

Stock Argument of Last Campaign Ressur-
reoted In Address to Democratic Clubs.
Warrington, April l2.-The first meet
ing OF the new executive committee Of
the National Association of Dsmoractic
clubs took place here today. Among
these present was VIM. j. Bryan of Ne
braska.
MIR. MoMillen Of Tennessee, presided.
A committee WAS appointed to prepare
au address to the Democratic voters of
the country, which the committee mani
mously adopted. The address, after re-
citing tho objects OF the association as
set forth In its constitution and declar-
Ing that they are the principles of Jeffer-
son and OF the Democratic party, never
surrendered or abandoned and essential
to the preservation of the republic, con-
tinues In part as follows:
In common with many who last year
voted the Republican ticket under. secret
protest and with serious misgivings as to
the future, we supposed that the admins
tfAtion and it's friends in Congress
charged with unlimited power and con-
scious OF the grave responsibility, would
realize the necessity of proceeding in a
rational manner and that they would, at
all events, not feel it incumbent upon
vuoAA w Au1VuvI 0iSUuTU bu0 UuAlueSA OF
the people by rushing into a revision of
the tariff laws for the purpose of repayin
she various outlsys of the combined
monopolists, in the late campaign. But
We see at this time with alarm that they
are resolved to grant no delay In the ex-
soution of fixed ar ruthless design.
This smonstrous bill, fit successor
for the Mckinley bill has been pushed
through the House under practical gag
law and ID now pending in the Senate,
whore already threats are heard against
the freedom Of debate and where a pas
sage is to be forced by the use of execu-
tive patronage reserved for the purpose.
This ID one of the stones which the
people of the Unitei States are to get in
stead of the bread they asked for and 80
much need.
While all industries languish, while
the gold dollar appreciates and the silver
dollsr 10 denied its natural economic
suffers, tariff schedules are being revised
for the exclusive benefit of the tax.eaters
and the gold owners nre tacitly assured
that they need appreheDd no encrnach-
ments upon their monopoly which is
visibly appropriating the profits upon the
labors OF civilized mankind.
We have only to organize, to bring
right thinking and right feeling people
together in Democratic societies to sweep
up great majority of the representatives
OF the masses in the next House and to
carry the elections of 1900 as triumphsnt-
ly as our Democratic forefathers carried
those of 1900.
