BUCK, PATTON PA. HOTEL BECK, THE BILL BECOMES h LAW. Unsigned by the President the Measure Takes Effect. A LONG SEIGE OF IT. The Tariff Bil) Foaeted at Midsight Monday, Awngust 27. of dispatch from Washington dated Monday August 27th, says. At 12 o'clock to-night the McKinley tariff law, which had been in operation since October 30, 1890, practically four years, died on the statute books and the new Democratic tariff bill, passed by the Fifty-third Congress, became a law without the signature of President Cleveland. © The Constitutional period of ten days allowed the President to consider the bill. expired with the midnight hour, and according to the terms of the Constitation, the President having failed to retarn the bill to Congress with or without his approval, it be- came a law. The placing of the bill on the statute books ended one of the longest and most remarkable struggles in the par- liamentary history of the goverment, It was practically a year ago. that the preparation of the new tarifl law was commenced. : . The extraordinary session of Con. gress was called August 7, 1808, for the purpose of repealing. the Sherman silver purchasing law. Two weeks | later the ways and means committe: eof the House, with Mr. Wilson, or West Virginia, as chairman, was avpointe =, and almost immediately the work of EPWORTH LEAGUE. An Orgatention Which win pe Perfected in Patton Soon On Saturday evening a peiial meet- ing was called in the Methodist church af Patton for the purpose of organiz- ing a branch of the Epworth League. The pastor, C. W. Wasson, gave a very interesting -Qeseription . of its origin and formation. According to Rev: Wasson a trifle over five years ago there were five distinct organizations or societies ‘within the pale of the Methodist Epis- copal church, to wit: The Young People’s Methodist Alliance, the Ox- ford League, the Young People’s Christian League, the Methodist Young People’s Union, and the Methodist Episcopal Alliance, the litter society being local in the northern district of Ohio. For some time there had been a movement working looking to the consolidation of We va¥fous organi- zations, or to the absorbing of thew by a new soclety, and on Tuesday, May 14, 1859. at Cleveland, O., a meeting was held, composed of delagates from each of the bodies named. The sentiment in favor of union was practically unanimous, but when it came to christening the child born of the meeting, trouble developed. After much debate, Dr. ‘Hulburt, of ! (leveland, leading the Oxford League delegates withdrew from the meeting. This caused much regret, but after vention appointed a commitiee to see the withdrawing delegates, and then adjourncd until the following day. When the convention reconvened, it was found that the dbsatisflied Oxford- ers had retarned to the hall, andina short time harmony of thought was framing the Democratic tariff reform secured and the Epworth League was measure began.
