 Boston, April 5.--As result of two long conference held here to-day be- tween the Boston Merchants associa- ation and the New England Dry Goods association members, and officials of the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford railroad, assurances of a better passenger train service with New York, and of improved facilities for handling freight at the South station terminal were given. G. l.. Connor, passenger traffic manager at New Ha- ven stated that he would recommend the putting on of one or more five-hour trains between Boston and New York, composed of passenger coaches, at the ordinary fare.
 Complaints were made by the mer- chants of delays in handling freight at the Boston sheds. Vice President Tim othy E. Byrnes of the railroad said that the trouble was due in great measure to the Boston merchants themselves, as six days free storage at the Boston freight terminal allowed by agreement often extended to eleven or twelve days, thus delaying the delivery and shipments.
 The merchants agreed to accept a reduction in the limit of free storage of freight from six to four days.

There is no way for man to resign from the church except by active deposition by the bishop, and 1t was at MT. Tuckerman's own solicita- tion that pronounced him deposed last Tuesday. There is nothing whatever in his moral character that can be crit icised. He simply desired to leave the church to enter social settlement work in Boston.

REV. 6. TUCKERMAN OPPOSED
ACTION TAKEN BY BISHOP CO.,
 ADJUTOR D. H. GEER

Relieved of Ills Orders--Now Min
 ister of the Unitarian Denomination
 Delay in His Case Criticised.
 Boston, April 5.-It was learned to- night that Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman, of this city, and formerly of New York and St. Louis, mad been formally de- posed from the priesthood Of the Epis- copal church by Rt. Rev Dr. David H. NGreer, bishop-coadjutor of New York, with which diocese Rev. Mir. Tucker man has been canonically connected. MT. Tuckerman's relations with the Episcopal church are severed because he could no longer accept the teaching of that communion regarding the doc- Urine of the Holy Trinity and the Vir- gin birth, and he is now minister of the Unitarian denomination.
 Although sentence of deposition was pronounced last Tuesday in New York by Bishop Greer, 1t is not generally known in the Episcopal church that Rev. MT. Tuckerman Is no longer a member of it. In to-morrow's issue of the Living Church, the organ of the Catholic party in the United States an article will appear criticising the ap- parent failure of the ecclesiastical au- thorities in New York and Boston to suspend Rev MT. Tuckerman from the Episcopal body, as some time ago he left his place as rector of the Church of the Holy Faith, One Hundred and Sixty sixth street, New York, and took up work at the Theodore Parker Memo rial Unitarian church in Boston. The article states that Rev MT. Tuckerman is still carried on the clergy lists of the Episcopal church. and practically de- mands his suspension.
 An investigation here tonight dis closed the fact that last year the min ister decided to abandon his orders in the church, and that six months ago ae so notified Bishop Greer Bishop Greer suspended Rev. Mir Tuckerman, but the bishop, under the canons having six months before he was compelled to take final action, did not depose the clergy man until this week.

The Farmers Union is not in pol

it would do it in a business, and
not in a political way. We have a

constitution to make for the new state
of Oklahoma. 1t so happened that
the Farmers Union was we'll organized
in the proposed new state. The boys
knew what they wanted and proceeded
to pledge the candidates of all par
ties to work for their principles. Near
ly every man who refused to make
the pledge was left at home. That
was business. 1t was not politics at
all. The result was, the farmers con-
trolled the convention and elected

FARMERS UNION.
(The Cordele Rambler }

The Farmers Union is now in a
most progressive state. Nearly all of
the best farmers are becoming mem
bers and it is freely predicted that
fully half of the voters of the state
will in a short time be members of
that body. They are not in politics,
but they are becoming educated to
their rights and a man who knows
what is right usually votes for it un-
less he is a corrupt man and willing
to do wrong for the sake of some
personal gain or other private ad-
vantage.
1t is hopeful sign we think when
the great masSes-and the farmers
represent the masses in the agricul-
tural sOuth-are reading and study
ing their rights, and now that the
rural system of mail delivery is put
ting the literature at the farmers door
there is no reason why this valuable
class of our people should not become
as hp-to-date and as fully alive to
their interests as the large corporation
is to theirs.
The District Agricultural Colleges
ought to be Of immense benefit to
the farmers and We hope that they
will cause thousands of young men to
become scientific farmers who will

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS; MR.,
DOCKERY'S SPEECH.

In February, 191, there was pend
ing in the House of Representatives
a bill to pay the Pacific Railroads
three million dollars for hauling
troops, munitions Of war, etc.
Inasmuch as these corporations were
then indebted to the Government
about $125,O00000, there were Con-
gressmen who objected to the pay
ment of the $3,OOO,OOO, alleging that
the Railroads were insolvent, and that
the Government should hold back the
three millions as a credit on the one
hundred and twenty-five millions.
The rest of the story is told in the
admirable speech then made by the
able, honest and fearless statesman
from Missouri, Hon. Alexander M.
Dockery:
L desire, Mr.. Chairman, to reply to
the gentleman from Texas, Mr.. Grain.
Commenting upon the alleged insol-
Vency of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, that gentleman stated in
substance that it was no business Of
Congress whether that corporation is
insOlvent or not inasmuch as the
debt due to the Government has not
yet matured.
Mr.. Chairman, I utterly dissent
from this view of the relation exist
ing between the Government and the
Central Pacific and other railroad
corporations which have received the
favor and bounty of the Government.
Sir, it is our business because the
United States gave to the Pacific rail-
roads national charters and granted
them right of way more than 400
feet in width across the continent 1t
is our business because We gave to
these corporations the right to use
earth, stone, and timber from adja-
cent public lands for the purpose of
aiding in the construction of the
roads. 1t is our business because we
gave of the public domain alternate
sections on each side of the roads for
a width of 10 miles, with the further
privilege of selecting in lieu better
lands within 20 miles on either side
of the roads. 1t is our business be-
cause we loaned the credit of the Gov
ernment to aid in their construction.
On II miles of the road the Govern
ment loaned the Central Pacific $16,-
900 per mile; on $50 miles, $4S, 900 per
mile, and on $50 miles, $4,000
per mile. 1t is our business because
we guaranteed $27S53,0OO of bonds is
sued to that company with thirty
years to run, bearing interest at per
cent payable in gold, aud authorized
the company to issue capital stock to
the amount of about $60,000,000. 1t
is our business because these corpora
tions, seeking to evade the obligations
imposed by the Thurman act, have
used the profits of the roads in part
in the construction of branch and
competing lines; and by masquerading
under other corporate names they seek
to deprive the Government of the
revenue to which it Is lawfully and
equitably entitled. 1t is our business
because the Pacific railroads, in vio-
lation of their charters, have assumed
to divest themselves of telegraph
franchises by granting exclusive priv

timore, says that though this sea-
sons cotton crop, seed included, will
be worth between $750,00O,000 and
$800,000,000, or by far the largest
amount ever received by the south
for single crop, it is still much be-
low what the producers of the south
ought to have gotten out of the crop.
Considering the worldwide prosper
ity in cotton manufacturing the cot
ton-raiser has not yet had his full
share" The Record has shown in
a review of the textile interests of
the Manchester district of England
that in a total of twenty of the aver
age cotton mills of that district the
profit for the last three to six
months has been at the rate of 80
per cent per annum. It's article
from which we quote is so interesting
and important that it is worth copy
ing almost entire:
"This phenomenal prosperity in
Manchester is duplicated by the pros
perity in the textile interests of the
United States. The margin between
raw cotton and the finished goods is un-
usually large. 1t would have been pos
sible for the cotton manufacturers of
the world to have paid to southern far
mers an average of one or two cents
pound more than they have paid for
the present crop and still have had
a legitimate manufacturing profit. No
one can blame the manufacturer for
seeking to buy his raw material at as
low a cost as possible. In doing this
he is but following the universal GUS
tom of mankind But the producer has
an equal right to strive to secure the
highest possible price for his product
Holding the worlds monopoly on this
the most important crop raised on
earth, this section ought out of it's cot
ton crop to make far greater wealth
than any other country makes on any
crop Cotton ought to command such
prices as would make the south the
richest agricultural region Of the
world. 1t ought to give to this sec
tiOn such wealth that we would
have the best roads, the best schools
and the best comforts of living
throughout the entire cotton growing
region. We may we'll rejoice at what
has been accomplished as illustrated
in the $75O,OOO,OO0 to $500, 100000 Sc

long as the worlds prosperity contin-
ues unabated and so long as English
spinners are making 80 per cent or
more profit on the manufactured arti-
Gle, the south has a right to struggle
for higher price for it's cotton. The

quirements promise to fully tax the
ability of the south to increase the
crop rapidly enough to meet increasing
demands, and under these conditions,
instead Of being satisfied with nine
or ten cents for its cotton, the south
ought to receive a considerably higher
price, and it well behooves the people
Of the whole south, the bankers. the
