McKinley Denounced.
A. P. A's Pledge Themselves
to Defeat Him.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The Amer?
ican Protective association, supreme
council, closed its sessions to day,
but few delegates remaining to the
adjournment. The most important
action was that of discontinuing the
advisory board which was accom?
plished after a long discussion, in
which it was specifically stated that
the recent developments in the
McKinley boycott had notniug to do
with the action and no reflection
upon Judge Stevens, the chairman,
was intended. The supreme council,
composed of the supreme officers of
* the organization, replaces the advis?
ory board and this body was by reso?
lution directed to pass upon the
status of the presidential candidates
of Republican, Democratic acd other
parties and report publicly of them.
Washington was adopted as the
permanent headquarters of the Amer?
ican Protective association and Kan?
sas City selected aes the next place of
annual meeting.
Pour of the principal officers were
elected Saturday and the list was
completed as follows : Supreme sec?
retary, W J Palmer, of Butte, Mon.;
supreme treasurer, F C Campbell, of
Minpeapolis, Minn.: supreme ser
geant-at-arm8, J W Ellis, of Indian
Territory ; supreme guard, W B
Howard, of Omaha, Neb.; supreme
sentinel, T S Henson, of Colum?
bus, 0.
The convention dosed with a pub
lie mass meeting to-night which was
presided over by Congressman Lin- j
ton.
At a meeting of delegates to the I
supreme council representing 20 dif- ?
ferent States, held this evening, after j
the council adjourned, the following j
preamble and resolutions were uuani
moas)y adopted :
Whereas, the supreme couucil of
the American Protective association
of the United States, at its session
Saturday evening, by a unanimous
vote adopted the report o? the na?
tional advisory board, which report
endorsed the action of the executive
committee of said board aud in piaiu
language, said that the executive
committee was justified in publishing
the political affiliation of McKinley
with the Roman political hierarchy,
which affiliation is proven by the
affidavits of reputable members of
the order, and which affidavits have
never been controverted except by
the uusworn statement of Major
McKinley himself ; and.
Whereas, Major McKinley did on
May 14th, 1896, to a committee of
the national board, in the city of
Canton, 0.; state that he heartily ap?
proved the principles of the Amer?
ican Protective association, and ou
the following day an iuterview
to the press denying that he had met
such a committee, thus giving the i
lie to the report of the committee, !
which was composed of honorable j
and truthful gentlemen ; aud,
Whereas, the members of the su-1
preme council have during its ses- j
6!ou been hounded and badgered by !
a large McKinley lobby, composed
of members aud non-members of the
order, that used the most disreputa?
ble blackmailing methods to dis
credit the advisory board and to turo
the supreme council into a McKinley
ratification meeting, and, having sig?
nally failed to clear McKiuley of the
consequences of his pro-papal poli?
tical record, tc-day, alter two thirds
of the delegates had started for home,
attempted to take revenge by abolish?
ing the national advisory board, and
accomplished the same bv a vote of
30 to 29 ;
Resolved, That we, the delegates
in condemnation meeting assembed,
denouuee the unwarranted interfer?
ence of the paid McKinley lobby j
with the affairs of the order and de- j
nounce the cowardly denial by Mc- ;
Kinley of his endcisement of the j
principles of the order given by j
him to our committee ; and,
Resolved, That because of kis re :
co.r? as reported by the national ad j
visory board, we herewith pledge
ourselves, by our influence and ;
efforts, to accomplish his defeat.
LOUISIANA'S JIM CROW j
CAR LAW.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Thc sa- !
preme court of the United States to
day io an opinion read by Justice j
Brown, sustained the constitutionality j
ot the law of Louisana, requiring the !
railroads of fhe State to provide separ- ;
ate cars for white and colored pissen- j
gers There was no interstate commerce j
feature in the case for the railroad upou ;
which the incident occurred, giving :
rise to the case (Pressy vs. Ferguson)
the East Louisana railroad was and is j
operated wholly within the -State.
Opinion states that by analogy to tbe ?
laws of the congress, and of many of
the States requiring the establishment j
of separate schools for children of the i
two races and other similar laws, the
statute in question was within the com- ?
petency of the Louisana legislature, j
exercising the police power of the State.
The ?Judgment of the supreme court
of the State, upholding the law was
therefore affirmed.
Mr. Justice Harlan announced a
very vigorous dissent, saying that be
saw nothing but mischief in all such
laws Io bis view of the ca6e no power
bad the right to regulate the eujoyrnent
of civil rights upon the basie of race.
It would be just as reasonable and pro?
per, be said, for States to pass laws re?
quiring separate cars to be furnished
for Catholics and Protestants.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
\v A8HINGTOX, May 18, 1896.
McKinley paid a big price for the
support of the A. P. A. Nothing le*s
than a written pledge to live up to the
principles of that organization should
he be notn?Dated and elected Presideot.
This pledge was obtaiued by a com?
mittee of three sent by the Supreme
Council of the A P. A. to see McKin?
ley personally and report back to the
Council. The visit was supposed to be
kept secret and Saturday's papers -eon- i
taioed a telegram stating that McKio- j
ley denied having been waited upon by j
an A. P. A committee, but when that
denial was published, the written j
pledge, signed by McKinley, which to j
all intents and purposes makes him a j
member of the A P. A., was in Wash
ington and beiog discussed by the
members of the Supreme Council, who
had been awaiting the return of their
committee with considerable impa?
tience. With that pledge, aod it is
said a considerable .expenditure of
money, it did not take the Supreme j
Council long to undo the anti-McKin
ley work of the advisory committee,
and to virtually hitch the organization
to the tail of the McKinley kite.
Czar Reed has resumed his crown
and has abandoned the conciliatory,
you're-a-good-feliow style which he as- j
sumed as a caodidate for his party's
presidential nomination and again be?
come the autocrat of the House that he
used to be. He has also resumed the
habit of making enemies by firing
sarcastic epigrams at members who
give him an ooening either ou the floor
of the House or in private conversa- ?
tions. The meaning of all this is per- j
fectly plaio. Mr. Reed sees the j
McKinley shadow co the wall and no j
longer regards himself as io the Presi- j
dential running. He can have ?he j
second place, but it is said that he will
DOC take it unless he finds it necessary j
to keep it. from gotcg to some man like j
Senator Proctor or to Seuator Quay, j
bo'h of whom be thinks betrayed bini.
If he takes the second place it is said
that he wil! be open to the charge of
treachery to the combine, each mem?
ber of which pledged himself to make i
no deal with McKinley.
The democratic Senators were unani?
mous in their belief that Col. Dupont,
of Delaware, was not entitled to a seat
in the Senate, and as the populists
voted with them DuPont was turned j
down by a majority of 1. It was j
thought that some of the republicans j
would vote against Dupont, but such
strong party pressure was brought to
bear that thos^ who would not swallow]
their convictions outright by votiog for !
him allowed themselves to be paired,
which amounted to the same thirjg It
can be positively stated that the demo j
crats did not offer the populists a siogle :
inducement to vote against Dupont, j
Aside from their convictions, there were J
several strong reasons for their doing ;
O CT
so anyway, not the least of which would
have been their loss of the balance off
power in the SeDate if Dupont had been I
seated.
At i .-as* one important office ha?!
sought, a man, and found b i ai be- !
fore be knew it was after him ;
him. Mr. Dominick I. Murphy, of
Pa., who has been nominated to succeed J
Commissioner Lochren, who has been ?
nominated to be U. S Judge of the j
Minnesota district, got the first news j
of his promotion from a newspaper
bulletin board. Gen. Dana has been j
nominated to succeed Mr. Murphy as !
first Deputy Commissioner of Pensions. |
He has been chief of a division in the ?
office for a long time.
WTben a man gets a reputation for .
dodging, such as Senator Allison, of J
Iowa has had for many years, he cannot ?
come out ?at?ooted upon any important j
question without creating a seusation
aod stirring up a uest of interrogation I
points. That is just what Senator !
Allison's square statpoieot io favor of:
the gold standard and against the free
coinage of silver bas done. Mr Allison
has been a sort of Presidential candi?
date for twenty years and has made it ;
a point to try to stand well with ?very- .
body in his party. His entirely un?
expected declaration is taken to mean !
that be, like John Sherman, has come '
to the conclusion that bc will never get
the Presidential nomination of his party
and that it is useless to longer keep up
the trouble>ome habit of dodging.
The senate has adopted another Cuban
resolution. This time it asks toe ;
Pre.-ident to furnish it with the details
of what has beeu done and what it is
proposed to do towards seeing that '.
Americans arrested by the Spanish in .
Cuba are not deprived of any of their ;
treaty rights. This resolution was
probably adopted more for its effect ;
upon thc Spanish thau for information,
as every Senator mu6t have known the j
prompt and vigorous steps taken by the ;
administration whioh led to the set- !
ting aside of the sentence of death
imposed upon several Americans by a
Spanish Court Martial and thc ordering
of the civil trial for the prisoners. Gen.
F;tz Lee has received his final iostruc
ions and will this week go to Cuba.
A great deal of rot has been written
about these instructions. As a matter
of fact they are probably known only
to President Cleveland, Secretary
Olney Rod Gen. Lee and it is certain
that neither of them would talk about
them ?br publication. What has been
published on thG subject is guess work.
GEORGIA SUNDAY REST
LAW.
WASHINGTON, May 18 -The validity
aod constitutionality of t!-:e Sunday
rest law of the Stare of Georgia were
sustained by the supreme court of the
Ucited States to day.
L. F. Henuigtoo, superintendent of
transportation of the Albania Great
Southern Railroad, was indicted ia
Dade coun y, Ga., on Sunday, March
15, 1891, in violation of the State law
which forbids the running of aoy freight
train io the State on the seventh day.
He pleaded not guilty, settiug up in
defense that thc statute as applied to
the case was in conflict with the pro?
visions of the Federal .Constitution,
giving congress power to regulate com?
merce among the States. He was con?
victed aud this conviction was affirmed
by the supreme court ot the Sta:e.
From that judgment the case came to
the supreme court of the United
States.
Mr. Justice Harlan delivered the
opinion o? the court. It reviewed at
length the history of the legislation,
the views of authorities and decisions
pertinent thereto and the conclusion is
reached t-that such a law, although in
a limited degree affecting interstate coen
tuerce, is not for that reason a needless
intrusion upou the domain of Federal
jurisdiction, nor strictly a regulation of
interstate commerce, but, considered iu
its own nature is au ordinary police
regulation designed to secure the well
o cs
being and to promote the general wel?
fare of the people within the Stute by
which it was established, and therefore
not invalied by force alone of the Con?
stitution of the United States."
Chief Justice Fuller announced that
himself and Justice White were un?
able to concur in the decision of the
court, interstate traSc, he said, was
national in its character, and
could be subjected only to relations
of a uniform character. The statute
in question, he said, amounted to a
regulation of iurerstate commerce, the
eoactment of which by thc terms of the
Constitution was reserved to congress
alone. The claims that the statute was
passed in the existence of the police
power cf the State made no difference
iu the view of the dissenting justices,
the result was the same-if it came in
conflict with a power to be exercised
alone by congress, it must g;ave way.
THE ALABAMA FRAUDS.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The reso?
lution for the appointment of a select
committee to State of Alabama and
to report whether a republican form
of government exists in that State
came up to-day in the senate. Mr.
Allen (Pop.), of Nebraska, making a
motion that the senate proceed to its
consideration There were only six
votes in favor of the motion-two
from Populist senators-Allen and
Jf/efier, of Kansas, and four from
Republican senators-Chandler, Frye,
Gallinger and Morrill.
The vote against it'numbered 41. j
Mr. Allen saw in the result of the
vote, a proof of the insincerity of the
Republican senators, bat Mr. Sher?
man (Rep.), of Ohio, justified him-j
self and his Republican colleagues
on the ground that the question was
one to come before the senate at the
next session, not this one ; .and that
as to the general election in Alabama i
-whether fraudulent or not-the
senate had no right to inquire into it,
unless it affected the election of a
senator. \
Mr. Chandler (Rep ), of Xew |
Hampshire, who voted for the mo?
tion, said that, under other circum?
stances, when there was no appro?
priation bill directly before the sen
ate, the reslution would receive the
support of a large number, if not all
the senators in the Republican side.
OOM PAUL'S EFFECTIVE PRAYER.
This Story 3Iay Not Be True, but It Is Far
Frc in Impossible.
Herc is a little anecdote f old, not by
a malicious uitlandcr, but Ly a Boer.
In the carly days, before the Transvaal
was a republic, there was a faniiue in
the land, and a party was organized to
hunt the bartbecst. F< r days thc party
scoured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign ot' game, of tiny description. Then
one cf tho Boers declared his intention
of retiring into the Lush to pray for suc?
cor, as did the patriarchs cf cid. Ee ac?
cordingly left the party in company with
a native and disappeared into tit" bu
Somo hours afterward the Boer re?
turned and informed thc party solemnly
thar he had prayed, and in three days'
tima a- very large troop of hart best
won ul pass that way. The party re
maiiiad at tho camp, and, sure enough,
two days after th?' promised game ap?
peared insight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart, made a great haul.
From that moment "the man of pray?
er" became the popular hero until he
was elected presidentof the Scath Afri?
can republic. That man was Paul Kru?
ger.
And now listen to the edifying sequel :
It was some time afterward that thc
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version of thc affair. Tho
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray, but struck out
for a neighboring Kaffir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the Boer informed them
that the white people were starving and
could find no game. There, was a large
number of armed Boers on thc other side
of the bush, who hadsent him to tell
them that unless they (the natives) dis?
covered game in less than three days
they would all bc shot. Knowing Boer
methods only too well, thc frightened
natives set ont forthwith, discovered the
trame and drove it toward the Boer
camp. -Lonchen Figaro.
