WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Till
man succeeded to-day In passing his dis
pensary bill through the Senate without
objection. This bill provides that all fer
mented, distilled or other liquor trans
ported into any State OF Territory for use,
consumption or sale shall be subject to
the operation and effect Of the laws ofsuch
State, and shall not be exempt by reason
Of being introduced IN original PACKAGES
for private use or otherwise, and each
State shall have absolute control of such
liquors within Its borders, by whomso-
ever produced and for whatever use i'm
ported: Provided, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as affecting
the internal revenue laws of the United
States or of liquors In transit through
such States. The general effect of the bill
is to carry out the provisions Of the
South Carolina dispensary law, notwith-
standing the numerous decisions obnox-
ious to the enforcement Of said law. The
bill passed the Senate without q word Of
discussion by unanimous consent. 1t
was reported from the commerce com.
mittee more than a month sgo, and Sena-
tor Tillroan has been industriously at
work upon it ever SINCE.
The trouble will come when the at
tempt Is made to pass 1t through the
House. Senator Tillman admits that he
hardly expects to get the House 10 pass
upon it during the present session, but
he looks for favorable action next winter.
The position of the bill is improved by
its passage through the Senate, although
many bills have failed to become laws az
ter having passed one branch Of Con-
gress.
Senator Bacon says the House conferees
are making a stubborn fight against free
cotton bagging and free cotton ties, n
the friends OF the Sen ate amendment will
have a hard fight to keep those articles
off the dutiable list. The Senate confer
ees insist that these articles shall be on
the free list, and the question may have
to be fought out in open session again.
Senator Bacon is of the opinion that the
House will finally yield to the Senate on
these items.
He says he has every reason to believe
that the duty on raw cotton imposed by
the Senate will atand.-Special to News

The American people are proverbially

The Atlanta Journal says the move
ment of Population from the West to the
South is based on the growing conviction
that this section offers advantages. It is
becoming more and more generally
known that the South is both q p%leasanter
and more profitable place to live in than
the West, and neither the misrepresen-
tations of newspapers nor the discrimina-
tons of railroads can avert the natural re-
suit of this knowledge or stop the tide of
emigration from the West to the South.

Over q hundred thousand coal miners
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl-
yania are out on a strike for higher wa
ges. For a long time they have earned
barely enough to Keep soul and body to-
gether, but their Republican bosses
promised that McKinley's election would
bring prosperity, and the grimy under
ground toilers believed it, but their eyes
are at last opened. Many railroads and
manufacturers have been caught short of
coal and will have trouble unless some
early settlement is reached.

Tt is incomprehensible that Kansas
farmers are appealing Cor help to save
their wheat, offering as high as 50 per
day for laborers, while the State Is
swarming with tramps, who refuse to
work; but that Is the condition now.
Thousands Of acres of wheat is still in the
shock because farmers cannot get help to
stack it. Tramps swarm along the rail-
roads, but they refuse to work. The peo-
Pile in the towns and country, however,
have organized against them and refuse
to give them food. The women slam the
doors in their faces WHEN they come to
their homes begging for something to
eat, and tell them to go to the field and
work or starye.

An exchange truly says: "When you
see q youth who will do any sort Of work,
no matter how mental i! may be. rather

mind that he amounts to something. The

woulddo anything beneath whst he con-
ceives to be his dignity, is not made Of
the right kind of stuff to cut much Of q

grading as that aversion to manual labor,

The Dingley tariff bill passed the House
yesterday, and it goes back to the Senate
now to become a law. AS 8 result of the
conference, ties and bagging are restored
to the dutiable list, and the duty of 20
per cont. on imported cotton is stricken
out. The bill will probably pass the Sem
ate promptly and Congress will adjourn
in a few days. The Dingley bill is more
oppressive than the old Mckinley Law.

Wheat Yield will be Large.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1S.-Long
trains of empty freight cars have rolled
out Of Kansas City for two weeks and
dropped off irtwos, threes and iives on
side tracks along the lines Of the railroads
in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma.
These empty freight cars of which there
are thousands, will be filled with Q
1897 wheat inside of four or five weeks.
A tremendous grain rush is expected and
the best of management by railroad
officials will be needed to prevent q
huge grain blockade, or grain car famine.
Conservative estimates of crop statisti-
clans place the yield of wheat for this
year in Kansas alone at &C, 1000, 900 bushels.

A Card from Leading Negroes.

Editors Intcllgcnccr AS %law-ablding
citizens, and to some extent leaders Of
our people, we feel it our imperative duty
to show to the world our unanimous con-
domination of the crime attempted to be
committed recently in u city. We have
mothers, daughters and sisters whose vir-
tue and chastity are sacred, and we would
not, for one moment, shield or protect
any person guilty of such a foul deed
from the full extent of the law. We know
that the moral standard Of many or our
people is not as high as it should be, but
we know scores Of the better class who
would defend q white or colored woman,
even though it cost their lives, in such a
case. We would have gladly assisted in
trying to bring the guilty II to justice
in this case or any other, as some one else
may become his victim. We have been
asked why we did not assist, and to some
extent condemned for remaining silent.
This request and condemnation Is not
g%roundless when you first see 1t, but
when coolly and wisely considered we
think our action Is in keeping with the
law of the land. Had either or all OF US
assisted, and had we been successful in
capturing the accused, there Is no doubt
in our minds from the excited condition
of the greater portion of the citizens that
he would have been hanged to the first
limb or shot to death. This is not bring
ing the prisoner to justice. Hence we
would become murderers and stand
guilty before a just God. We would be
no less guilty than the man that pulled at
the end of the rope or the one that perfo-
rated his body with lead. We know
there were many cool, law-abidlng white
citizens who would not think of particl-
~ot;,, - c,,nl, n orirn ht,t thlrQ wQrl
many others Infatuated with passion that
would not be controlled at that time.
Many times have we seen municipal and
State and county officials, backed up by
cool heads, overpowered by the madened
crowd and the prisoner lynched. This
we feel is very unjust, and is educating
and leading the young mon OF our great
aud grand county into a very dangerous
custom, as 1t leads mobs to resort to
lynch law for crimes of less magnitude.
We also feel that the moral standard of
scores of our people Is 80 high That they
would not, for q moment, entertain the
idea of harboring or secreting the accused
in their homes, and as the officers made
no exceptions, but searched all OF our
homes, regardless Of the good name we
have been trying to build up during our
life time, hence we were all placed on the
SdlQO DASlS Will LILO IuUUlo VI uuo SibJs
We feel that it does a greatipjustice to the
race to censure them all for the crimes OF
some lawless individuals.
We again wish to r%eassert our condem-
nation Of such crimes, and place ourselves
on record as being willing to assist In
bringing all rapists to speedy trial and,
if found guilty, punished by the law OF
the State.
