The People’s Party to Bnle.
Sulphur Springs, Tex., July 30.

er’s encampment here. More than 4,000
people were present. Peffer wanted
the government to loan people money at
1 per cent, to lift $9,000,000 mortgages,

THE TENNESSEE
Con v let Lease System Probably to too
BrongUl Into Court.
Nashville, July 20. —The chancee are
good for the convict lease system to get
into the courts.
Attorneys here have been investigat¬
ing closely to see if there are grounds
by which the lessees can be prevented
from sub-letting the convicts. They are
to have help from a Memphis lawyer.
George Turner is expected from that
city, who comes for the purpose of see¬
ing what can be done towards enjoining
the lease of convicts for mine work.
An interesting question is now raised.
Chancellor Henry Gibson is the man
who made the violent speech against
the lease system last week. Many per¬
sons say the speech was not only ill
timed but inciting and revolutionary.
Gibson is chancellor’ of this division,
which includes Anderson county, where
the minfes are situated. In view of the
fact that be has taken Such a violent
stand against the lease system, the
question is raised whether or not he is
competent to act as judge is the pro¬
posed injunction proceedings.
It is considered a forgone conclusion
that he will grant the injunction if the
proceedings are brought before him.
Already there is talk of in impeachment legisla¬
proceedings against him the
ture, and the present question excites
much interest.

Alliance.
London, July 29.—A Berlin dispatch

occasionally is viewed with seriousness
very different from the ridicule formerly
heaped on the efforts of France to win
the good will of Russia. The decidedly
warlike aspect about everything con¬
nected with the affair, which has
aroused no little anxiety in the highest
quarters.
Coupled with the Cronstadt frater¬
nizing is the n^ws of Russia’s remarka¬
ble preparations in the strengthening lines of of
her army and fleet while new
railway are being rapidly' constructed
that, when completed, will enable Rus¬ half
sia to mobilize within a fortnight a
million men on the Austrian frontiers.
The general opinion is that Russia will
not attack either Germany or Austria,
but will, when ready, march directly on
Constantinople.

KANSAS DEMOCRATIC EDITORS
Present an Important Political Address
to the People.
Kansas City, July 28.—A Star’s To¬
peka special says that about thirty-five
memhe.es of the Democratic Press asso¬
ciation of Kansas, assembled here in
convention. The committee appointed
to prepare an address to the people of
the slate has completed their work.
The address expresses sympathy with
any body of persons seeking reform and
contending against the existing evils in
laws and the administration of the gov¬
ernment, one of the questions which is
interesting farmers at present. The
address says:
"We believe in abolishing the in¬
iquities of class legislation in tariff leg¬
islation. We believe in the return to
the financial system of the country prac¬
ticed from the foundation of the gov¬
ernment to the year 1879*. We believe
in the abolition of the bankruptcy sys¬
tem. We believe in a vigorous and
wholesome control of the transportation
system of the country.
loaning To those who favor the governmental the
of money on products o;
soil, wo quote the maxim by one of the
founders of government: " The govern¬
ment must not become a banker. ” We
oppose governmental purchase of rail¬
roads. but we believe in legislative con¬
trol of the interests of the people whose
chartered servants they are. We em¬
phatically oppose the proposition surplus for the
government to purchase the
products of the soil as being a plain ad
violation of the constitution. The
minist ation of President Harrison, of
the senate in upholding Senator Quay,
and the McKinley tariff law were
strongly denounced. ”
In conclusion, the address makes a
strong appeal to tlie Democrats of the
state to perfect their organizations and
stand fast to Democratic doctrines.
The scheme of a fusion with the Peo¬
ple’s party is not endorsed or advised.
RYAN IN JAIL.
Atlanta's Dry Goods Prince Who Failed
Recently, lluh 1ml the Bars.
Atlanta, July 28.—Stephen A. Ryan,
the Atlanta dry goods prince who failed
recently for over $1,000,000, is now oc¬
cupying a prisoner’s cell in the Fnlton
county jail, having been sent there by
Judge Gober for contempt of court.
Judge Gober, in his decision, held
that Mr. Ryan has cash assets in his
possession which must be handed over
to the receiver. Mr. Ryan holds out
that he has turned over all t he assets in
his former custody or control, and that
he will not pay the $120,490.71 ordered
to he handed in by the court. The
judge says lie must remain behind the
bars until he lias done so.
The order produced a profound sensa¬
tion in the court room and has been the
topic of conversation throughout the
city. Mr. Ryan’s eyes flashed a little,
but he betrayed no other emotion when
he was placed in the hands of the
sheriff.
A number of his friends have already
called on him at the jail, and Ms time
is being spent very pleasantly. Besides
expressing bis rag vets at not being able
to attend the coming game of baseball
he has had nothing to say relative to his
situation, only that he was right and
proposed to fight it out. His attorneys
have gone to work to secure his release
aud say they will have him out in a short
while.
