FARMERS AND RAILROADS. A Sensible DlncuBClon at tbe rational Farmer*' Cong reu?. Sedalla, Mo., Nov. 11.?In the Na tional Farmers' Congress to-day Con gressman John T. Heard, of Missouri, delivered an address on railway trans portation, which, he said, was a subject of supremolimportance to tho farmer. Ono of the Solution? was found ir. State railway commissions. Missouri had been among the first of tho States to deal with the question that way, and Missouri's experience showed that the method had been successful. Another method ot controlling a railroad cor poration in tho interests of the people was through tho national railway coin mission. Some professed to believe that a railroad should bo placed under Government management. Govern ment railroading, ho believed, would be a gigantic failure. In the tlrst placo the Government would have to buy the railroads, and that would cost 810,000, OOO.COO. That would bo impossible and impracticable, because there w as in cir culation ouly 91,500,000,000. II. C. Brown, of Georgia, endorsed everything that ho had heard said. Georgia, ho said, had tried State owner ship of railways. Georgia owned the Western andlAtlantic Railways. Under State control tho rate* wero high, tho service was bad and deficits were ex traordinary. Tho State found that it had been too expensive to run its own railway, and the lino was leased to pri vate Individuals. Under private con trol the road chaiged cheaper rates, Save better service, paid a rental of 3,000 a month and made money for tho lessees. Resolutions wero introduced recom mending that the President of tho United States and United States Sena tors bo elected by a direct popular vote; demanding an extension of tho signal service reports issued by the agricul tural department; requesting the Fed eral Government to aid tho States in irrigation of arid lau 's. The resolu tions were all adopted With tho excep tion of the latter, which the Congress defeated by 44 to 17. A resolution asking Congress to im firove the harbor at Savannah was oudly applauded and unanimously adopted. The committee on finance presented a report requesting tho various State Legislatures to make appropriations for the expenses of States delegations to future congresses or this character in order that eacli State may have full and proper representation. The report was adopted. Tho administration of the depart ment of agriculture by Secretary Husk was highly commended in tho resolu tion. The following additional resolu tions wero also adopted: Requesting the Secretary of Agriculture to increase tho number of representatives in for eign countries to push the work of in troduccing American corn as food, be lieving that marked success in that ditection attained already is warranted for such a request, and requesting Con gress to appropriate sufficiently to cover tho expenses of this increased represen tation abroad; demanding a systematic and thorough improvement by tho Fed oral Government of the waterways and harbors of tho United States; request ing tho extension of the free delivery of the mails among farmers; demanding the control of all trust and monopolies, so that they shall work no harm to the people. AuarohUtH on the Kauipiige. CHICAGO, Nov. 11.?The Stars and Stripes waved aloft to-night amid a scene of excitement unequalled since the llaymarket riot. Over a thousand Anarchists or Anarchist sympathizers had crowded into tho West 12th street Turner Hall to commemorate tho day on which their fellow Anarchists were hanged. It was the most decisive de monstration of tho kind in this city since the day the police wero murdered. The speeches were extreme, and red emblems covered everything. The climax camo during the incen diary utterances of Henry Weissman, editor of the New York Baker, a Ger man trades paper. Inspector of Police Hubbard, accompanied by Lieut Gib bons and a squad of ollicers in citizen's clothes, wero 3cen to quietly approach the stage. They ordered the American flag placed among the ilaming crimson banners, which were conspicuous every where. Instantly thcro was a profound sensation in the motley audience, and the police where hissed from all parts of the building. Mrs Lucy Parsons, who occupied a chair against the rear will, shrieked out: "Hang tho murderers of my hus band !" In a second paDdemonitim reigned. Inspector Hubbard untlinch iugly ordered the suspension of tho meeting until his commands were obeyed, and the police took control. Cheap School Hook*. There is no question about it our school books cost too much, and wo are glad to know that there Is a proba billty of tho people being able soon to buy them cheaper. The matter of great est importance that camo up beforo tho State Board ot School Examiners at its recent meeting in Columbia was the ro port of the Superintendent of Educa tion, touching his etrorts to secure a re duction in tho prices of tho books on the Stute list. The report shows a con siderable reduction made from the orig inal prices. For instance, Webster's Academic Dictionary is reduced from ?1.75 to 91.50. Most of the firms cor responded with wrote that they would sell books to dealers at 20 per cent, dis count so that they could be retailed at the reduced prices. Various lirms write that they are ready at all times to co operate, with the board In uny measure to remedy the high prices at which lo cal dealers are selling books. As to tho best means of securing sale at reduced retail pTlces, Mr. May field suggested that an ofllclal bulletin be hung in each school giving the prices of books, together with a statement to the effect that if the books are not furnished thereat by local book sellers they could be procured at publishers' rates.

Columbia, Nov. 8.?The McFail case 088 taken quite a serious turn. Tho fol lowing letter to Governor Tillman and the instructions of Governor Tillman to the Attorney General will explain themselves: Babnwkll, November 5, 1801. Dear Sir: 1 received Mr. Toiupkln's letter of the 4th acknowleding rny let ter of the 2d. I suppose you received mine of the !hl today. Wee by The NewH und t'ourler of today that Mr. <i. W. M. Williams has written you a let ter which relli'cts upon me and to which 1 ihstre to reply. It must strike your Excellency as somewhat strange that Mr. Williams is championing the cause of his client's captor, and is trying to aid him in re covering the reward olfered tor. his vices, lie is taking a course which de prives his client of the credit of having voluntarily surrendered, and grown ex ceedingly wrothy and severe upon those who dispute the claims of the reward. All of this, too, without his jumo being connected with the matter in either of the communications addressed to your Excellency on the subject. Mr. Williams says: "Col. Aklrich was by some moacs bruught into the cane to assist me in the deffhee of McFail." This language is usually employed to indicate that a lawyer has insinuated himself irregu larly Into a rase, and I have no doubt that Mr. Williams intends to creato that impression notwithstanding that ho knows I hat I consented to assist him by tho request of McFail, his father and Williams himself, which writings from each of them uro iu my possession aud will show that my services aro purely and entirely gratuitous. 1 admit that Mr. Williams is Mr. Mc Fail's principal attorney, and as he has shown by his letter that my connection with the casois unpleasant to him, 1 have severed my relations with it, as I told Mr. Williams, Mr. McFail and the elder Mr. McFail I would do if any at tempt" should be made to defraud tho State out of the reward in tho way it was rumored it would bo done, and which has been done. Mr. Williams called at my houso on Monday evening in company with Hill and informed ino that McFail was in tho hands of tho shoriff. I asked him if he had gone to the sheriff and surren dered himself as I advised. Williams replied: "Well,practically so. 1 thought it bitter to have somo one with him coming along, as 1 didn't know what certain parties might do." 1 was very much pressed for time, as it was salesday and 1 had several im portant land sales to attend to, and the hour of salo was near at hand, and very few words passed between Mr. Williams and myself. I asked htm to call on me that night for a consultation and he replied: "That he was goiug away that evening, but would see me in a day or two." Wo parted and I saw him no more that day or since. lie remarks that 1 said nothing to him about my intention to write to you. I had no Intention '>f writing to vou then; my suspicio. . Were aroused afterward-. Nothing can be more despicable than the insinuation that 1 wished to prevent Hill collecting this reward, because McFail is a wit ness in another case of mine, nor do 1 see what possible connection the two things can have with each other. 1 can furnish you with proof as follows: First. That McFail cauio to Harnwell on Sunday night in company with Williams and Hill, and tho three stayed together at the hotel. Second. That iu the morniuir Wil liams and Hill went to the sheriff's house, a quarter of a mile away, to in form him of McFail's presence in town, leaving McFail alone at the hotel. Third. That McFail told Probate Judge V. O. Patterson on the morning of the surrender that he was acting un der advice of Williams in doing so. Fourth. That Williams went to G. M. Hunter, county auditor, before the sur render and told him they had concluded to give up McFail aud wanted some friend of his to take him in charge and deliver him to the sheriff and claim tho rewatd and turn it over to McFail or Williams to pay the expenses of his case, and that they had selected Mr. Hunter to do that work, which work Hunter refused to do, whereupon Wil liams said he would have to get some one else. Very respectfully and truly yours, Robert Aldrlcn. Governor Tillman, in relation to the above has written the following letter: COLUMBIA, November 7, 1891. To the Hon. Y. J. Pope, Attorney General?Sir: From letters in my pos session and circumstances connected with tho case, I am led to believe that an attempt has been made to defraud the State of the sum offered as a re ward for W. L. McFail. There is sufll cient evidence to warrant the belief that a conspiracy was formed for this purpose by certain parties, and that possibly the sheriff of Barnwell was in collusion with them. I have had reason to think that the State has been defrauded more than once in this matter of rewards, and to know that somo of our sheriffs are very derelict about making arrests. 1 desire that the present caso be thoroughly sifted and an example made. You will, therefore, proceed to Harnwell on Monday morning to make a thorough investigation, and cause an indictment both tor conspiracy and perjury to be issued if the proofs obtained will war rant it. I have every confidence in the solici tor of that circuit, hut desiro that you Investigate in person and press for a speedy trial if a prosecution is deter mined upon. Yours respectfully, H. H. TILLMAN, Governor. According to instructions Attorney General Pope will be in Barnwell to morrow, where tho Court of General Sessions opens in tho morning. "CONSPIRACY AND PERJURY." William*, McPttl), Senior, ami 11 ill, tho Captor, to be Indicted. Columbia, s. 0., Nov. H.?-The crisis In the McFail-Hlll reward matter has been passed, and the result is the proso cution of McFail, pcre, Lawyer G. W. M. Williams, of this city, and H. II. Hill, on the charge of conspiracy and porjury, in tho state courts, and on a letter from Hill that ho did get McFail to surrender to him with the intention of procuring tho reward offered. Attorney General Hope, who went down to Barn Well to investigate, re turned to the city yesterday morning, and very soon the result of his investi gations wete whispered around on Haw Range, causing a considerablo stir among tho lawyers. The result of (Jen. Pope's Investiga tions aro contained In the following statement presented by him to Governor Tillman yesterday morning: To His Excellency, 11. 'K. Tillman, tho Governor of the State of South Caro lina: Yot u EXOKLLBNOT? In response to your letter of the 7th ins?., requesting me to personally superintend, on this day, In Harn well, an examination into the recent occurrences touching the re ward offered by you for the aprehenston of W. Jj. McFail, charged with murder, and while evading arrest for said al leged crime, I beg leave to report: That on this morning I proceeded to i iu ii well and made an Investigation of the matter referred to me, with the fol lowing result: I 1.1 became thoroughly convinced that the cause of good government in this State required that an indictment for Conspiracy should b? preferred against the elder McFail.G. W. M. Williams and H. n. inn. W. I wak equally satisfied that indict ments fonperjury should he handed out against O.jrV. M. Wll'lamsand A. Mc Pail. The indictment referred to in the first and second paragraphs of this communication will go before the Grand Jury of Barnwefl county tomor row. 8. Tt>e conduct of the sheriff, Mr. Lan caster, Which you requested me to in vestig.i'.''ai the same time, was Inquir ed into, and I am satisfied no steps should ?'.? taken against him, for in the first plac ? he tried to arrest W. L. Mc Fail, even going so far as to offer the sum of 850 from bis own means to ac coinpling ihis result. In the second place no act on bis part in relation to the alleged arrest of W. L. McFail by 11. il Kill could be objected to except the f i v. i;.-. of a certificate of said arrest, and in this last matter he declined to give 8ncn oorti'lcate until his attorney, a ver> highly esteemed and gifted law-, yerof tut llarnwell bar had recommend i ed such a course for his adoption. Un der such circumstances, I repeat, no prrcet din^s should be had against him. 1 would ill v discharge my duty in the premises it 1 neglected to hear testi mony to the cordial co-opperatlon of the most worthy solicitor or the Second circuit, Hon. W. Ferry Murphy, snd as well to his ability as counsel. Respectfully, Y. J. Pope, Attorney General. HILL TM.LS WHAT HE DID. The following letter from the alleged CSptor of McFail, received by Governor yesterday, is very interesting coming &S it does along with the above: HAUNWELL. S. C., Nov. 9, 1891. To His Excellency, Gov. B. R. Tillmau: I reiterate the assertion that I did arrest McFail. I concede the fact that I could not have arrested him had he resisted un ; but he and I being friends and us lie intended to surrender before court and his trial, he yielded to my, wishes and allowed tho arrest made, that 1 might got tho reward. This was done at my request, and If there was anything wrong in it, it was an er ror from tho head and not from the heart. Now, in order to stop this un- J fortunate newspaper warfare, and to j put a speedy eud to It, 1 make no fur- j ther claims to the reward. Yours,! with great rospeot, II. II. Hill.

Tiio Latllo Children Unit are Clone. Why do they come, asks tho Chicago Advance, those little ones that enter our homes by the gate-way of suffering, and that lingor with us a few months, Uttering no words, smiling in a mys terious silence, yet, speaking eloquently all the time of tho purity and sweet ness ol heaven V Why must they open the tenderest fountain of our natures only to leave them so soon, choked with tlie Litter tears of loss? It is impossi ble wholly to answer such questions of the tortured heart, but one can say, in general, that these little temporary wanderers from a celestial home, come and co because of the great love of God. It is an inestimable blessing to have beon parent of a child that has tho stamp of heaven upon its brow, to hold it in one's arms, to minister to it, to gaze fondly down into the little up turned face, and to rejoico in the un sullied beauty of its smiles, and then to give it back to God at his call, with the thought that in heaven, as upon earth, it is still our own child, a member of tho household, still to be counted al ways as one of tho children whom God hath given us. Such a love chastens and sanctities the hearts of tho father and mother, carries them out beyond time and sense, and gives them a hold upon the unseen. As things of great value always cost, it is worth all the sorrow to have known this holy affec tion, and to have this treasure in heav en,_ Monument to Mr Davlii.

Various places of sepulcher wero talked of including the grounds of tho White House of tho Confederacy. Mrs. Davis said that her husband had oftei expressed his aver sion to any public, noisy thoroughfaro as a place of burial and had desired a quiet, secluded place for himself, where his whole family might rest near him. She said she had finally decided on Hollywood Cemetery, but had n >t as yet selected the exactspot.

The time had come to shift the gangs of men, and a cage hill ot miners returning from work steppe?! out into the open air. Their places were at once taken by nineteen men, who were to take up the work they had jupt abandoned and the cage ?ras started toward the depths belo v. The rope hud been unwound but a couple of | times from the slowly revolving wind lass, when there was a sudden snap. A cry of horror from the shaft, in which the cage was but a moment before, went up from the men who had a moment be fore come to the surface. The rope had broken, and the cage, with its nineteen inmates, was precipitated to the bottom of the mine. It whs some little time before assist ance eould be sent them. The shall down which they had plunged to their death was useless, and other ways of getting at the place where they had fal len could not be found. Fortunately, there was some help for the dead, and dying iu the mine itself. A number of | miners, who were through work, aud waiting to be relieved, were at the bot* torn of the shaft, waiting for tho cage to take them out. Amidst them narrowly missim; some, the cage dashed. It broke, aud beforo their horror-stricken eyes wore the mangled bodies of their com panions, whom they were awaiting. When they had recovered from the ?hock word of tho accident was sent through tho mine, and from the dark ness came mcu hurrying to the relief. There was little, however, that they could do. Of tho nineteen men who made the feurful ride, seventeen were dead, their forms crushed out of all semblance to those of human beings, while the two who wero yet breathing have no hopes of recovery. Their com rndes boro them out of the ruin, and awaited help from above, but any aid that could have been given them whs useless. The Anaconda mine is the biggest iu this territory. It employs 400 meu, and was reopened, after a long closing, Oc tober 23.. The fact that it was reopened on a Friday was commented on at tho time by superstitions miners, and many were afraid to work in it. Horrible Kut>tern Stories.

Tho scene of trouble is Teppua, which was attacked by three thousand insurgents. One unfortunate fellow fell into the hands of the insurgents, who nailed his hands and feet to a board aud cut him up. The victim was considered to have been made a sacrafice to the tlag. For throe days the city held out. The insurgents seized a favorable moment to send a largo force under cover of their own lire to storm the defence. The walls were low and were easily scaled. A bloody struggle ensued, re sulting in favor of the attacking party. The leader, Chen, was the first one to leap over, and rushing straight to Mag istrate's Yemen, he first liberated all tho prisoners and then searched for the magistrate and his family. The depu ty magistrate was last seen fighting hand tu hand against overwhelming foes, disputing every inch of ground. At last accounts 1,000 Imperial troops wero on the march against the rebels.
