KBrr.itxTATivE Conn, of Alabama, introduced a bill in the House a few da s since to revive the iniquitous income tax, stating at the time that "most of the people with large incomes are in the North, while we of the South are poor, and the proj-ortion of our people who would pay tax on income is sui!!." Thes-e Vuthern Hourhons not only have in view the idea that by an income tax they will partially make good the lofsof revenue wh'ch will f .11 j the reieal of the tar';;!', but they will make the Nirth bear the burden. TitE Ieno-r.its have come to tie fr. nt w l'.h a bilit unconditionally repeal the Federal election laws, s j that b-V.i lo.xg ail ballot box stu:iii cin have free oi and the South be kept solid. A few uavs since Il-Mmhlicans in the IIou: were besought to lay aside psrtismship and help preserve the fmanrtal integrity of the country, and no sooner was this done than a bill was introduced and a partisan whoop rais.-J in favor of wiping out the Federal election laws.

And yet, without an exception, the Democrati" Congressmen of these States are blatant free traders. It is claimed that theie is a decided majority in the Senate in favor of the rejeal of the silver purchasing act, and ys't a minority iu that body has for weeks prevented any divided action on the bill, and apparently a vole is no near er now than it was at the beginning of the libvi-sioD.

It is the uncertainty cf the f.iture, the fear of free trade, the threatened repeal cf ex isting tariff laws that has given business laase throughout the length and breadth of the land. A bt'sintss man would be deemed an idiot who wouid t-ock uphia store on a rapidly facing mrket. 1L then can it ba exacted that a mannfec lurer will run hit mii's in the face of a threat that the ruteiial whkh le uow p ircl a will be throw n upon the tuar- kc-tfreatoriefM-etLetiinehe. 11 M ac emulated a stock for eale?

M'KIXLEY AT AKRON. ! Ohio Kepublican Campaign For mally Opened. Aebo5, O., SepL 13 The opening of the Ohio campaign by Governor McKinley ben to day waa an infmecse afiair.

Ever since his r.oiuiualicu in June Oov erncr McK.inlry has bn meking apeeches, political and olherwie. throughout the tate. and in r.one of thera has he failed to inte-ject some prolrction ideas, but he has been w..rkits tr weeks uu tho -peech deliv ered yter.ly, because he cousideri the t'laocanipaijjn of H'O more a rational than a State ailair. His i:h had no reference to Slate atTairs, being purely of a national character. Tbe demonstistion yesterday was solely fur McKinley for no one was allowed to di vide honors with him, ai he was the only tinker. A tremendous imrade began the festivities. Special trains were run from Cleveland, Co lumbmand all ceihboricg towns, even from Pittsburgh. The fare was normal from al! points, so tbat Akron had almost double its normal population and was gay with fl.ig. music, marching men and banners which proclaimed fcr protection. On.

When Governor McKinley arose to speak he was erected with wild and continued ap plause horn the great audience, and it was several minutes before the enthusiasm had subsided suiliciently for him to commence. Jiis first sentences were in the way of con- tra'.tilalions on account of the loyalty of Akron to the interests of Republicanism. Following i a full synopsis of the remain der of Lis sj-ech : We meet iu political discussion for the i".;st time since the overwhelming dcleat of ls;'g. with deep concern and amid conditions iLal Lave caused alarm suiiicient for the pitsidei.t to call a special stssion of Con greo.

" p. is the scntiuieut of the president that the purchase ol t.K'.1" ounces of silver lr month uu.hr the so-called tjtierman law siiould be disc itumued. 1 he great majority of the ltepubl.cacs ia congress are openly comnntievi to ttie repeal, as shown by the vote on the Wiin mil. and if the reptal is not made the responsiOiiiiy will rest with the Democrats. Republicans do not want to str.ke down e'aiitr metal, but we insrst that each shall bs fae eci'iol ol the oiher in leal tender as wed as the iVM paying power. All the money we have to-day i good. The volume of currency oitleide of the bailed States treasury is cow $24 '1 cap na. as Egainst i-i 4o in Ut'l and $l:Si ia itj, so the trouule can not have been lack of currency, but resulted from want oi con fidence. The president himself says hat the pre vailing busiutss embarrassment arises as much "from evils apprehended as f om those actually arising. ' Is it the anticipa tion of lar.lf'refurm or of free trade or of revenue tarirl which has set tbe country where il is? Who can doubt it? That a rev olution ol our tantl policy is to be eipected au:n'.!s of no douot. Mr. Neal savs that "tariff reform must Le our bat '.leery;-' and I accept the issue thus tendered.

The chairman, Hon. William L. l'.son, of Wcl Virginia, says iu tbe North Amen can Review of S.-pleiaber, that " tbe lk-mo-cr:ic (iriy cau no longer derive strepg'b from pai.dei-ing to tne delusion that protec t ive duties can ia any way directly benefit labor. ' As the Democrats control both senate aud hoi.se we may therefore look for a general revision of tiie tariff laws. S3 the two eo l.omic systems are again oa tr ial in Ohio thi veer. Will free trade start our close.! mills and put our idle men to work f Will larger im (urtulioris of comjietitive products made by cheater labor increase otir domestic product ion ? The protective tariff is a lax upon a foreign producer, aud his welfare is col our liist concern. Id.enccs is a much greater tax, a much more onerous burden thau any tariff tax which can be imposed. A change from a protective to a revenue tar.il' involves a revolution of va'ues, of pricts, of wages, of every variety of invest ment. It involves a revolution in tne man ner of living. Such a change would ene tMte every home in the land, and suffering most cruel would be Hire to result. We have a slight fi.rc'.aste of trie coming chanjre :,;.

A Lake Shore Express Held Up by Masked Men in Indiana. Twenty masked men held np a train on the Lake Shore Road, near Kemlallville, In diana, on Monday night of last week, 140 miles from Chicago. They shot and aeri ouily wounded tbe engineer, Jamei Knapp, who tried to start the train, and then blew open tbe doors of tbeexpreaa car with dyna mite. The safe was rilled, but the amount secured by the thieves ia not definitely known. One accouut taya the safe contained from t25it.iXK to 5cU.U, another tbat they secured $oO.OOO, and still another that tbe loss to the Ei press Company will not ex ceed $15.0M. Stiil another report fixes the amount stolen at $111,400. About a hundred detictives are now at work on the cae. There was no time nor inclination te repel the onslaught of tbe bandits. It was too suddtn, too ssillfully planned and too des perately carried out. The rattle cf tho rifles and the terrific explosions of dynamite terri fied the passmers, who remained in their seats or bvrlhi. Not one of them was mo lto-l, although standing upon either em bankment was a sentinel, savsguly grim with red mi-k aud quieting gun, Kdy to shoot down the first man to interfere with their woik.. The growing list of train robberies is an unpleasant reminder of the increasing bol d r.es of the knights of tbe roa l. The record of the year 1V.J is a startling one. There were fourteen such robberies that ytar, the booty secured ranging from tha $1.') obtain ed at Wharton, I. T., May 11, when a train cn the Atchisou, Topeka & Santa Fe itoad was held up, to the $ JiJ.O'J the three uia- ked robbers took from 4 train at Collier's Station on the Central Railroad of Georgia. Ia the whole list there is adL-couratting uniformity of succrsi, the robbers in almost every iu ttance secured some booty. There was just as discoursing a failure to cip.ure and ptiuish the highwaymen, showing that train robbing is one of the safest lines of business the criminal can follow. During the first batfof 1 -03 there were twenty-one attempt to rob trains in tbe Fniu- J Slates, but the success in getiirg booty was not equal to tbst obtained lti. If tbe second half of the year is as prolific of these crimes lstl j will have an unpleasant pre-eminence in this respect. A El Onion Crop. C.csros, O , Sept. 14. The little town of Orrville, west of here on the Ft.

A few years ago the place was nothing hut a mucky swamp, and an enterprising gentle man named Tanner took it end starfd an onion farm. The crop of the 00 acre farm is now being harvested, and it is estimated that there wili be 3o,0) bushels, w hich means a vast amount of money. One hundred men, women and children are now engaged in preparing the onions for market. It will take thera about six weeks to complete their work. Many families living in that locality deiend entirely upon the work inn dent to the cultivation of onions far their living. Death In a Bride's Kisses. JiSiEsTuwx, X.

Philaiiclpha, Sept- l.V An examination of the vaults in the Philadelphia Mint has disclosed a shortage of more than 5.txi ounces in gold bullion, valued al about $i3l.'j0. The vault ia which the gold ia short had, when it was sealed iu 357, about f IG.iJOn. uoO ia goid bullion. 1). M. Fox was Super intendent cf tbe Mint al that lime, and O. C. fiotbyshell succeeded him in November, i vitl, receipting for the gold in the sealed vault without weighing it. Tbe shortage was 2i: covered Tuesday, when the vault was oi-ep.ed for the purpose of coining the bul lion. Superintendent Rosbysheil is under a bond of f pm.insi and some of the wealthiest men of tbe city, including Goorge W. Childs, are on it. A thorough examination is being made to fix thn guilt. Swinging Around trie Circle Of the difea'e to which it is adapted with the bert results. Hosteller 's S'omaeh l'.itters, a family mede.-ine, n rnprchensive in its scope, has never been thrust upon public at tention in the guise cf a universal j-anacea for bodily ills. This ciainr, doily arrogated in the columns of the daily press by the proprietor of medicines far inferior t ) it as BLc:fies. has in a thousand instances dis gusted tbe public in advance by its absurdi ty, and tbe pros pect9 cf other remedies of supe-rior qualities have been handicapped by the pretentions of their worthless prede cessors. Hat tbe American people know, because they have verelied the fact by I he most trying tests, that the Hitters possesses the virtues of a real specific in cases of ma larial and liver disorder, constipation, m-rv-ou, rheumatic, stomach and kidney trouble. What it does it does thoroughly, aud mainly for this reason it is indorsed and recom mended by bests of respectable medical men. The Money Scare Over. CmcAii-), Sept 14 The bankers of Chica go gave a banquet to night at the Grand Pacific Hotel to Comptroller of the Curren cy James H. F.ekels. The latter was the principal speaker of the evening. In his address he said : "No longer banks are suspending and factories closing, but instw J reopening are the order of the day. and whirring spindles and smoking forges are furnishing labor far the 'army of the unemployed AffVigbtened depositors, reilizing that they had done themselves an Injury, and feeling that tbe Ihou-ands of banking institutions which they suddenly and w ithout cause doubted are yet as solvent as ia the years of their im plicit confidence in them, are returning their money that it may no longer lie in wasteful idlenes-s, but again entering tha chaunels of trade, and giving life to deadened industries. On every Land is evidence cf a better condi tion. " la a great emergency the bankers of this country have risen to the full measure of their responsibility, and meetiug it. Lave earned a people's thanks." Great Yield of Wheat. Sr. Pacl, Mix , ?ept. l.V All croi-s in Minnesota and the Dakotas are turning out much better than the farmers had anticipat ed. K-pecially is Ibis true of wheat, tbe thrashing af which has begun. The ararage yield of grain throughout the Dakotas and Western Minnesota has been excellent, aud Lere are plenty of farms the cut put of which per arte has been doubled as compared with farmer years. MAGIC CHASGE 18 THE STRIP, Great Rush for Homes. Nearly 100,000 People Now Camp ing on the Promised Land. Arkaxsa s C:tt. Kamas, Sept 10 When tbe locomotive steamed across the Kansas line at high noon the misty plain, girded on the north by a mighty mass, was as bare of population aa the ocean off tbe Long Island coast. When darkness fell two mighty boats, the one from tbe south, tbe other from the north, were met, and mingled in a homogeneous commonwealth. Between the boom of tbe gun at meridian and the kink ing of 1 he sun a wilderness of agricultural and mineral wealth bas been transformed into the actuality of a state more populous than any ol Ibe members of the Cnion.save New York, when the Colonies became a Re public Nor was the event destitute of grandchar acteris'.ica. Tbe Cherokee strip spread yast and misty below the Kansas border, unbro ken by a vestige of human life or civilized activity. So lhal the instant tbe train shot from the post marking (he boundary the spectacle spread out for ten miles or more on either hand unimpeded by an obstacle. Dur ing the night the crowd, like Macbeth's un canny apescter, dissolved, reaching for a hun dred miles or more, ready for the leap into the unknown. BSFURK THE iil'M DOOM ED. Admonished, apparently, by public pro test, the Washington authorities did at la?t w hat ttey should Lave done at firet. They took some consideration for the life if not for the comfort of the men. Ample booths were added to those already iu operation, and tbe roasted crowd were permitted to sign their declarations .in the city. Tbe heat of the day ran far into the night followed by a nipping air that filled the morning atmosphere with sneezing and coughing. The dust, compressed by weeks of incessant travel, was reduced to a blind ing film, that stifled the lungs. A wind, al ntcrfl furious by fits aud starts, swirled the whole surface of the earth iuto the air. From the hot air plateau surrounding the city on the east, to those watching the taw ny, discolored waste as the train shot out, the variegated human tide seemed a contin uous undulating ch-iiii, r l'.liiig in a grasping uncertain movem ut .u:hward. The rail way ran iu a perfectly straight line for four miles from Arkansas City, aud the train seemed like the sharp beak of some mon strous creature, curling and twisting over thedusty eattb. THE msPKRSlOS. Oa it rushed vehicles, hor&omen and even footnicn, alternating as tbe weaker yielded to the stronger, the uncertain to the sw ift. But the heart of hope rose in every man and woman, no matter how primitive the equip age or inferior bis mount. From the train the dispersion could be plainly seen. My r iads swerved slightly from the direct line and were thrown on the path of the slower rush, and a dozen collisions were barely avoided. Here and there the wary who knew the land rested, set their little Bjgj in the soil, and were straightway owners, ar parently, of 1V) acres. The traiu, limited to fifieea miles an hour, was slightly distance I by a rushing caval cade", who went straight forward, as if f:: milliar with every hlade of grass, every dan ger to horse hoof on the route. Indted, a scoieor more ha l ridden the course previ ously, au.l their mission was to swure dis put d sections adjoining the Aladdin to i a that are to night populous with lens of thousands of homeless but very tarry peo pie. AS ABASIAS SCENIC. Indeed, an Arabian tale is the only com parison to tbe scene. Only less impressive was the creation of kingdoms by tbe pres ence oi the armies of Alexander and Darius. The long drought shows its ravages over all the miles of this naturalry verdant expaure. Every thing is brown, sear and burnt. Hu man life over several million acres will be in deadly peril until wells can be dug, bat to night the exultant creators of tbe common wealth forget this peril in the exultation cf peases sion. As the train roll.-d on ihe great wave Wis seen meeting and dispersing, leaving hither and yon groups sticking cornerstonej who fraternized into title colonies for champioa tbip and defeat. By dark, when the Ira n reached the southern border, the Cherokee lands on all sides were alive with home makers. To nittht will be the first hardship, as but few ventured to load themselves with food or means of shelter, but the towns are so numerous and equally interspersed that serious dinger is not feare 1. So far as the number and character of the new ji. illation go, good judges declare the Cherokee strip more solidly and satisfactori ly peopled than Oklahoma. The tough, the bummer and the villainous Lave unques tionably been cheeked by the registering system, and men of discrimination declare that the percentage of f:uud has been cut tff 2) jr ctnt. TALKI5G OF STATEHOOD. Humorously enough the barely settled oplo are now energetically discinsing im mediate 3' atehood The city bcomers are exultant. Willow Springs and ita adjoining cities claim an assemblage of l.,iXJ now, and twenty is probable before the end of the coming week. Other towns report in the same rxullant strain. Should the drought end the new comers propose planting a crop for Ibis year, as the soil wiil prcduce two crop. ( All the towns in Oklahoma and Southern Kansas are practically deserted t) day. Ruinots of many shooting affrays are cur rent here to-night, and while some have ua douhtedly oceurred between "Suoaers'' and "Homesteaders" it is absolutely impossible to corroborate theru. Oue is to the tflVct that fire men were killed in a free for ail fight ov, r a valuable townsite claim adjoin ing li'.ai kwell, but no pariirulars of it can be obtained. An enterprising undertaken who bas great faith in tbe reported fatalities this afternoon started three wagon loads of coffins for Kildare. The dead body cf a boomer, shot through the head, was found two miles west and one north of Kildare this afternoon. Tiie body was taken to Kildare, but has not been iden tified. Campfires'are burning brightly all over the Cherokee outlet to-night, and on every valu able claim an average of at least three claim ants are camped. The great rush to day was to Perry, where it is estimated that fully 2o,00J people are located to-night. "Sooners"' got the best lot, aud a long line is now formed in fr. nt of the laud oflice to make fibngs. Miss Esther Cleveland. Washixoto. D. C. Sept. U.

Suit For $3,000,000. A suit to recover about SS.OW.OuO from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was begun ia the Dauphin county court on Wednesday by attorneys representing William Bill, the once famjas canal builder.
