THE AMEK1CUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECOEDEK: FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1891. FROM WASHINGTON. THE REPUBLICANS NERVOUS ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO- McKinley Crying Out for Money to Help Him—"Soap" Alio Is theOnly Thing That Will Save Iowa—Sherman Likely to With draw from the Senatorial Tussle in Ohio. Washington, July 01, 1891.—“Ilelp me, Cassius, or I sink,*’ was the sub stance of a communication from Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, to the national ex ecutive committee of the republican party, which met here this week. The story, as it is told here, is that Mr. Mc Kinley sent a very urgent appeal to the committee for a large sum of money to be used in the Ohio campaign, and that ho sent along with it a very broad inti mation that unless it was forthcoming the jig was up with both himself and the legislature in that state. He is also said to have suggested that the committee might easily raise the money by putting the screws on the manufacturers specially benefited by his tariff bill. And that was not the only appeal for money presented to the committee. Mr. Clarkson told his colleagues that un less a good sized barrel of cash was rolled into Iowa, that state would take its place permanently in the democratic column, and Secretary Fassett presented bills for a considerable amount left un paid from last year's disastrous cam paign. Hut these were minor things, aud excited but little interest compared with the resignation of Quay, not only as chairman of the two committees, hut as a member of the national committee; and the resignation of Dudley as treas urer of both committees. There was a goad deal of pretended regret at being compelled to accept theso resignations* and high-flying resolutions were adopted referring to both of them, which will probably.be regarded by the retiring of ficials as “vindications.” Mr. Harrison tried to stem the Blaine tide which controls the republican com mittee by appointing ono of its mem bers—J. Sloat Fassett—to be collector of the port of New York, in place of Kr- liardt, whose resignation lias beeu ac cepted. Harmony of the monkey and parrot kind is prevalent in the treasury depart ment just now. At least three of Secre tary Foster’s most Important subordi nates would hail with pleasure the news that ho had resigned, and they would resign themselves if it wasn’t for the fact of their having to give up their sal aries if they did. Tho subordinates mentioned arc Assistant Secretary •C’ronnse, Treasurer Nebcker and Immi gration Commissioner Owens, all of whom arc recent arrivals at the govern ment trough. The trouble with the first two is that Mr. Foster, with the warning of the ltaurn case fresh m his mind, refused to allow them to appoint their sons to bo their private stfereta* rics; and Mr. Owens is disgruntled be cause bis opinion that Welch tin-plate workers could be brought to the United States under contract, without violating the alien contract law, has been repudi ated by the secretary, who has written another letter to tho party who made tho inquiry, stating that t/io depart ment was not prepared at this time to answer hypothetical questions, such as the ono propounded. It is said that Mr. Foster also took occasion to givo Mr. Owens a very sharp lecture on the duties of subordinate officials. Mr. Wanamakcr has lod a delegation of Alabaini ins, headed by Senators Mor gan and Hugh, to believe that he would favorably consider their request to make Mobile one of the ports from which a subsidized line of steamships will run to gouth America. With a great flourish of trumpets the announcement is made that a reciproci ty treaty has been negotiated with tho mighty republic of San Domingo, which will go into effect September 1. Members of tho administration have already begun to discuss tho ways and means of raising the money th;.t it will bo necessary to have in tho near future to meet pension payments under the present laws. Some sort of a new tax has got to be imposed, and the most of them seem inclined to put it upon whis ky, by raising the revenuo from DO cents > per gallon to something between $1.20 and $1.50 per gallon. However, all that the administration can do is to make suggestions; the democratic house of representatives will determine what shall bo done. Senator Sherman’s fiicndsare trying hard to rnako it appear that they look lightly upon tho opposition of the far mers’ alliance to Ids re-election; but in reality they regard it as such a serious matter that unless they can succeed in patching up some soitof a reconciliation before long, ono of them said that Sher man would bo compelled to withdraw, in order to save himself the ignominy of defeat. Had Mr. Harrison been able to circu late, incognita, among the prominent republican politicians who were here this week, consequent upon the meeting of tho national executive committee, lie would certainly have arrived at the con clusion that he was no longer “in it,” as far as a nomination is concerned. It was unquestionably a Blaine week in Wash ington, and if the national committee can bring it about. Blaine is to be nomi nated, and ono of their number—Col. Conger of Ohio—is authority for tho statement that he will accept the nomi nation it it is tendered him. is IT SLAVEJIV? TheConvIft I,M»cSy»teui to be Attacked In the Court*. Knoxville, Tenn., July;>0.—It seems to be the understanding now that the miners will not release the convicts til the courts have taken action. If they fail and the legislature fails they will be released in sixty days. Gene-al G. I*. M. Turner of Memphis has been employed to fight the convict lease system by the trades people. He goes to Coal Creek this morning, where he will make a speech to-night or to morrow night. Ho holds that there is no act author izing the lease of the convicts. He will also attack the lease under the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, claiming that to lease the convicts is to sell them as slaves. The labor union of this city, acting with Chattanooga, will employ three ad ditional attorneys to help him. He concedes that if there was a law authorizing the lease it could not be re scinded by the legislature. The bill will be filed in Gibson’s court, and the question is often asked whether he is competent. DISHONEST FAILURES.

A yellow lien with a blue tail is the subject of an interesting lawsuit in an Alabama court. “I’m glad of It; served him right.” This was the general expression yes terday among many of our merchants, while discussing the fate of Steve Ityan of Atlanta, tho dry goods “plunger," who was recently plunged into a dun geon cell by the edict of a heartless judge. “Yes, sir; I heartily, endorse the sen tence of the court!” was the exclamation of one of our merchants. “It is high time this swindling was stopped, and that is the only way to stop it—put the swindler in jail. There lias been too much of this falling business throughout tlie country, and particularly in the south. Why, it has got to be so that an honest dealer can hardly get a dollar's worth of credit from the large wholesale houses in the north. And all owing to certain scoundrels abusing the confi dence of those who give them credit. Such men as Steve Ilyan, who aim to kill off all competition by selling below actual cost, are a curse to any communi ty. It is a very simple matter to sell below cost, on the part of any dealer, if he never intends to pay for his goods. I trust that tlie fate of Steve Ityan will be a warning to all such would-be dry goods ‘princes.' ” “I believe Ityan was crazy on the sub ject of being a big gun in the dry goods trade," said another merchant. "You sec, ho spent much time in N'ew York, and bought very heavily. Consequently ho was given a good deal of taffy by cer tain wholesale men in that city. They made him believe that he was destined to wear the mantle of tlie late A. T. Stewart, and all that sort of stuff. The result was that he hail a severe attack of ‘big head,' and overplayed himself. That is about the size of it. lie didn't Intend to get away with the goods, but as lie lost in the game of freezing out bis neighbors, ho will have to submit to liis fate. For my* part I have no sympathy with him or any man who plays the game of ‘hog’ on ids neighbor. IIo tried to undersell other dealers, and drive them out of tho business, by dishonest practices. In tills he failed, and every body is glad of it." “Why, my friend, let me tell you tho cold truth," answered another dealer to tho reporter's request for an opinion. I’m actually ashamed to ask for credit in Xcw York since that Ityan exposure. All my orders now are based on the cash in ray possession. 1 wouldn’t run the risk of being snubbed by asking for credit, although I don't owe any men a dollar. This Ityan failure has hurt us all along tho lino. 1 can’t .peak for other merchants, but in my opinion the present bankrupt law needs overhauling and reconstruct ing badly. Tlie simple truth is, there is not, nowadays, ono honest failure out of ten. A certain man steals live or ten dollars, Is found out, and goes to jail for being a tbief. Another man steals *100.- 000, salts it away, and, as a rule, goes free, on tho ground that he is only a bankrupt. In six months after the financial storm, you will find this fraud acting as ‘agent’ for Ids mother-in-law, or Ids w ife, in the same business In an other street or in another town, oil an enlarged scale, with the money he has stolen. And yet the law can't touch ldm. What a farce! Iu my opinion, thero are thousands of theso so-called ‘agents' who ought to bo in jail, and as to Ityan, ho only got what ho deserved, and I trust that somebody will iujcct into our lawmakers tho necessity of doing something which will make it impossible for any other ‘plunger’ to play the same game.',' CUT PRICES Still the Rule at Beall & Oakley’s.
