CLEVELAND WONT SIGN IT.
The Tariff Bill Will Become a Law
But not by the President's
Signature.
Yesterday’s dispatches from
I Washington concerning the prob-
-1 able action of President Cleveland
' on the tariff bill have this to say:
The president remains firm in his
purpose to let the tariff bill become
a law without his signature. This
as was stated by the Associated
Press at the time was his inten-
tion when he left Washington for
Gray Gables and there is excellent
authority for the statement that
Mr. Cleveland since his return has
indicated that he is of the opinion
as before he left here. A great
deal of pressure has been and is still
being exerting to induce Mr. Cleve-
land to forego his present purpose
and to sign the bill either with or
without some message expressive
of his views but the president gave
no encouragement to those who
pressed views of this nature on his
attention and has indicated that
he will allow the bill to become a
law by expiration of the ten days’
clause of the constitution.
The persons most urgent in sug-
gesting to the President that he
sign the bill are members of Con-
gress who have represented very
strongly to the President that a
signature to the bill will help them
considerably in their defense of it
in the coming campaign and that
it should not have the measure of
Presidential approval indicated by
Mr. Cleveland’s signature their po-
sition on the stump will be embar-
rassed to some extent at least.
Speaker Crisp and a number of oth-
er Congressmen have presented
this view of the matter and the
Speaker saw Mr. Cleveland today
on the subject. So far as can be
learned the President’s attitude has
been one of patient listening to and
consideration of the arguments
presented but he has refrained
carefully from making any promise
or giving encouragement to con-
gressmen who wish the bill signed.
A veto of the bill however is not
even suggested. It cannot become
a law without the presidential auto-
graph until next Monday and this
being the case the adjournment of
Congress will hardly take place be-
fore next Tuesday.
The fact that it is Mr. Cleveland’s
purpose to permit the bill to become
a law without his signature is also
a strong indication of the improba-
bility of any message on the tariff
from the President. Besides speak-
er Crisp who spent some time with
the President in the discussion of
the tariff question Representative
McMillin of Tennessee of the ways
and means committee and one of
the house conferees also talked
with Mr. Cleveland. Speaker Crisp
told members of the house who were
anxious to get away that he
thought the session would last un-
til next Tuesday. Mr. McMillin did
not discuss the tariff bill with the
President.
Chairman Wilson is expected back
from West Virginia today but he
was not about the house during the
sessioin.
REPUBLICAN REVOLTS.
As a result of the nomination of
Majors for Governor by the State
Republican convention of Nebras-
ka at Omaha Edward Rosewater
Edftor of the Omaha Bee hereto-
fore one of the strongest Republi-
can newspapers in the Northwest
has tendered his resignation as a
member of the Republican national
committee in a scorching letter in
which he shows up the character of
the Republican nominee for Gov-
ernor in its true light branding
him as a monopolist corruptionist
and a man without honor or integ
rity either as a man of officer. His
letter to the State convention at
Omaha resigning his place as na-
tional committeeman is well worthy
of perusal it is couched in the fol
lowing caustic terms:
“The action of your convention
Impels me to tender my resignation
as national committeeman. You
have nominated a man for Govern-
or who has been branded as an ac
cessory to forgery and perjury by a
Republican congressional commit
tee of which lion. Thos. B. Reed
was chairman a man who stands
self convicted of falsifying official
records and procuring the issue of a
fraudulent voucher while acting in
the capacity of president of the
Senate—a man whq has consorted
with boodlers and jobbers and con-
verted the room of lieutenant-gov-
ernor at the capitol of the State
into a den for debauchery a man
who has been the pliant tools for
railroads in season and out of sea-
son and whose nomination will be
procured by the combined influence
of corporate cappers professional
bribe givers jury fixers and im-
peached State house officials. I
cannot rivet the chains of subserv-
iency to corporate monopoly and
tyranny upon the people of this
commonwealth. Believing it my
sacred duty to uphold the standard
of true Republicanism at any sac-
rifice I desire to be freed from all
restraint which might be imposed
upon me by remaining on the na-
tional committee.
E. Rosewater.”
ERA DOTS.
Era Ark. August 22 1894.
Editor Texarkanian:
Thinking probably a few dots
from our little villa would at least
interest a few of your many read-
ers will undertake to give you a
few:
Plenty of rain now and some are
beginning to want it' tojstop as
bad as they thought they needed
it.
Everything quiet legally. Squire
Terry has nothing to do since
sending his man to Texarkana.
Sheppard Bros are building a fine
barn.
Thos. Boydston is completing a
handsome little residence.
Jno. Thomas is at work on a house
for our doctor.
J. N. Thomas is building a resi-
dence.
E. W. Hawthorne is back with us
repairing and making ready the
gin preparatory to stripping the
lint from the cotton.
So you see despite the hard
times our people move right on.
Sowing turnips is the order of the
day with many of us.
Saturday last was quite an ex-
citing day on the ball grounds.
About 9 o’clock the school boys
from the Eason and Perry schools
the former taught by E. W. Proc-
tor and the latter by E. E. Staats
met for a match game of base ball.
Despite the fact that the Eason
boys were all heavyweights the
little nine did them up in great
shape the tally sheet showing 31
for Perry’s school and 16 for Eason’s
school. After dinner the Bright
Star nine and the Era hard hittens
crossed bats. Until about the sth
ending it seemed that Era would be
defeated and so elated were the
Bright Star’s that they would sing
“By O Baby” with all the melody of
a Jenny Lind. But alas that the
song should come to such an un-
timely end; it only needed something
of this kind to bring our boys to
their old batting and a few ot those
hard hits were all they needed.
After Bright Star’s 9th inning and
Era's Bth the tallies stood 15 to 30
in favor of Era. Our boys have not
lost a game this season this being
the 3rd game with Bright Star boys
Era having done Atlanta twice this
season Hurricane boys 3' times.
They go to La. next Saturday to
play the Hill Billies the 3rd game
having beaten them twice already.
There is in circulation here a pe-
tition praying our County Judge to
divide this township and from the
rapidity of its growth I gather that
our people favor such a change.
This I think a good idea but for
the present decline to give rea-
sons.
But now fearing I have already
consumed too much of your valua-
ble time and spate will bring ray
dots to a close. U. I. C.
Express Companies Avoid Paying
Taxes.
Judge John Williams of the Unit-
ed States Court has issued an order
restraining the State board of rail-
road commissioners from assessing
the property of the Pacific Express
Company and all other express and
telephone companies operating in
the State and from certifying the
same to the collectors of the various
counties. This action is taken
pending the litigation now before
the United States Court as to the
light of the State to tax the prop-
erty of such companies when the
same is located outside the State.
The order was served on Gov. Fish-
back who gave it to Attorney-Gen
i erl Clark and he acknowledged ser-
vice. The assessment had already
been made when the order was is-
sued but the taxes will not be cer-
tified to the commission for collec-
tion. The amount of the tax is
rn'4453.
We always give our customers
the best the market affords full
weights and prompt attention.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Everything Looking Up Since the
Passage of the Tariff
Bill.
Advices from New York give
Bradstreet’s report for this week as
follows: Serious industrial disturb-
ances in New England drought in
central and far western states cur-
tailing nearly all staple crops and a
disposition in all lines to continue
buying for nearby wants only fail
to greatly influence general trade
throughout the country the trend
of which is toward further improve-
ment. Northwestern states East-
ern Missouri and Atlantic and gulf
coast and southern states report
relatively greater gains in volume
of traffic and in the spread of that
better feeling and confidence in a
large volume of business on which
improvement in business depends.
Prominent among the evidences
of expansion in general trade is
this week’s bank clearings total
$820000000 a gain over last week
of about 4 per cent and over the
like total one year ago when clear-
ings got down to about low water
mark the increase is 20 per cent.
But compared with the total in the
like two years ago this week’s ag-
gregate clearings show a decrease
of 18 per cent. It is also worth
nothing as a sign of business move-
ment that every city’s clearings
total for the week is larger than a
year ago except one. Gains of
clearings at whisky markets Louis-
ville Cincinnati Paris and Lexing-
ton have naturally been expanded
extraordinarily. The greatest ap-
parent increase in the volume of
business during the week is at St.
Louis Baltimore Chicago St.
Paul Minneapolis and San Fran-
cisco.
HANGING AT HELENA.
Yesterday a legal hanging took
place at Helena Ark. At the hour
of noon Phillip Pettus who murder-
ed his wife in April of last year
was hanged by the neck until he
was dead. lie was very ignorant
of brutish instinct and laughed and
danced the time away in jail until a
few weeks ago when he was induc-
ed to accept the services of a negro
minister. He at once embraced re-
ligion and for some days has claim-
ed that his sins were all forgiven
and that he would certainly go di-
rect to Heaven. The scaffold on
which Pettus was hanged was con-
structed of heavy timbers and en-
closed so that curiously inclined
outsiders could get no glimpse of
the proceedings and there were
less than a dozen witnesses among
whom were several newspaper men.
His neck was broken and he was
pronounced dead within eight min-
utes of the fall of the trap.
The crime for which Pettus was
executed was the brutal reorder of
his wife in April 1893. He had
mistreated his wife; they had quar-
relled and she had left him going
to an adjoining plantation to ob-
tain employment. He followed her
and had one or two interviews in
each of which he begged her to re-
turn and live with him. She refus
ed to do so however and he threat-
ened to kill her if she did not come
back. On the day of the murder
he sought his wife where she was
chopping cotton in the field. He
had an army musket with him and
walked along the cotton rows with
her pleading with her to come back
and live witli him. She persisted
in her refusal and as she turned
and walked away from him he shot
her in the back of the head literal-
ly tearing her head off. At his trial
Pffttus testified to the effect that
he was shooting at a man and that
his wife got between them. To a
newspaper man he confessed the
crime Thursday and did so again
while standing on the gallows.
HOW WILL IT END?
According to the Memphis (lom-
mercial it would seem that despite
-the “I’ollardizing” received by him
in the Washington courts Hou(?)
Billy Breckinridge will In all prob-
ability and to the eternal shame of
his people again succeed himself in
the House as Representative from
the famous Seventh Congressional
district of Kentucky. Concerning
the probable result of the contest
which closes three weeks from to-
day the Commercial says:
The general public has largely
lost interest in the affair for it is
impossible to keep a big sensation
on tap for so long a time. If the
contest had come off soon after the
verdict of the jury Breckinridge
would undoubtedly have been de

seated; but he has managed his can-
vass with consummate skill and the
very bitterness of his opponents
has helped to bring about a general
change in public sentiment. Breck-
inridge has displayed the art of the
orator as never before in this great
struggle and acted the part of a
penitent sinner to perfection. He
has for the most part kept his tem-
per well under control and allowed
his oppnents to do most of the re-
viling. These tactics have had the
effect of softening public sentiment
and the blustering fury and savage
bitterness of Mr. Owens has helped
on the reaction. It is unfortunate
that the only man Mr. Evan Set-
tle who seems to be really promis-
ing material for a worthy successor
to the fallen Breckinridge seems to
be hopelessly out of the race. His
style of oratory is altogether differ-
ent from that of the ornate and
fervent Breckinridge or the ver-
bose and slobbery Owens. He is
however the victim of a geograph-
ical situation and the fact that
Owens was the first to seize and ap-
propriate the opposition. The pres-
ent outlook seems rather favorable
to Breckinridge and without some
marked change in public sentiment
the chances are that he will easily
distance his competitors.
