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.

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. : .

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
