DRUGGISTS, Fatloo Aveuue Church Street, LARGE VOLUME OF WORK NATIONAL COUNCIL DIS PATCHING BVBINEH8). Tbe Parade Yesterday Afternoon Report on Maliera or Finance National organizers Work Council NoMs. Tbe Nutionul Council Junior Order l uited American Mechanics assembled at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, National Councilor Kibhc presiding. The Credentials committee reported ad ditional delegates in waiting, who were admitted in due form. The report of the finance committee, which , was under consideration at adjournment Monday afternoon, was taken ap. The estimated receipts of the ensuing year are $28,000 and the esti mated expenses are $21,000. The bal ance on hand is $10,000 in the geuerul fund, and $5,o00 in the organizing fund.

John W. Calver of 1'hiludclphia; Ashe- vuie council, no. o. The line extended from the postofflcc beyond the square, and was an inspiring tight. Each member of the Order carried an American flag, and such an array of its bright hues was never before seen in Asheville, and will not be soon forgotten. At every point where the American flag was disp'ayed, the members cheered, and some ladies who waved flags from a window onPattonuvcnue.evoked cheers from end to end of the line. Six members of the local council car ried a large American flag-Hxl5 feet followed by the council. The effict was very pretty, as was that of the flag and open Bible borne by the little girls. The foundations upon which the Order builds are the American flag and the Holy Bible. The procession paraded the principal streets and was disbanded nt the square. There tbe members of the Nutionnl body gave three cheers for the Asheville Light Infantry, who immediately responded. Then followed three cheers for the little occupants of the carriage, and finally three lor "Old Glory." all of which were given with a will. The parade gave Asheville's citizens an excellent opportunity to judge of the personnel of this bod v. Sshlom, it ever, is there seen a finer body of in n. The affair was a success, and was highly creditable to all concerned. Toda'N Hesslou. National Councilor Kilibc called the the body to order at 9:15 o'clock this morning.

It is the consensus of opinion that the National Council has never been better treated than in Asheville. A vast amount of business was trans acted today, and this evening's session will still further nud to the volume. Pictures of National Secretary Leemer and Past State Councilor Shalcr appear on tbe third pngc of Thu Citizen today. A basket ot lovely Mowers was sent in this morning by the Idlewild Floral com pany. They were received with thanks and nnnlause. The visitors arc free in their praises of the management ol the llattery Park hotel, and Manager McKissick has added to bis list of friends. Tub Citizkn's reports of the sessions are brief because, necessarily, the bulk of the business transacted cannot lie made public; therefore, the work being done cannot be judged by what may appear in these reports.

Large holders of coal in Chicago sent an agent to this city to engineer tLe scheme, and he offered the miners $10,000 to stay out until Oc tober. June'J Mayor Montgomery of Montgomery City, W. Ya , received the following telegram : "Keep miners out nt all hazirds unless incy get price, vyiii lurnisu MU.oou in provisions and meet you in Cincinnati any time. Mayor Montgomery arr.inircd to meet the Chicago agent here. With Montgom ery came Mayor William Sharp of the rorest 1 i ill mines. Capt. l.ncch Couch, of Charleston, and several Kanawha Valley miners. Before leaving home Mont gomery telegraphed ahead to the miners, stating that he would lay the Chicago proposition before them last night. The plan is for the Hocking Valley miners to stay out also. Operators threaten pros ecution to the full extent of the law for conspiracy. Before- leaving Montgom ery said : 'There is no limit to the amount of money Chicago people arc willing to spend. Their representative tendered me a certified check for $10,000. He said there would be plenty more money for the miners, and he would have given me S1UO.OOU lor mvsell it I had ncreed .to engineer the thing through."

Accnaea President Cleveland and The Senate of Violating pledges Ol The Chicago Platform-The State Bank Tax. Washington, June 21. In the Senate at 10:30, tbe tariff bill was taken up, the pending question being on tbe income tax sections. Senator Hill of New York addressed the Senate in opposition to the tax. He began his remarks by announcing that "we have now reached considera tion of one of the most important fea tures of the pending measure; important not only because of the tax which it seeks to impose, which equals in the ag gregate about onc-fiftccnth of the whole federal taxation of the United States, but because of the peculiar nature of the burden, as well as the vast and varied interests which it injuriously affects." 11HI alluded to his previous speech at the opening of the debate, "at that time, said the Senator "whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con trary," when he opposed the pending measure, and he also referred to the speech on the same side by the junior Senator Irom New Jersey, Mr. Smith. The arguments then advanced bad been evaded, not refuted. Discussing tbe proposition from the standpoint of ex pediency nlonc, he declared there was enough of honest difference in the party relating to details of the tariff bill with out arousing farther contention by this, nt least experimental, scheme ot taxation. It would have been wise statesmanship to have avoided this unnecessary issue. "Pruacnce dictates," said Hill, "that this Congress should not attempt to for mulate new Democratic doctrines to which we have never been committed, but rather carrv out the pledges we have already made." Hill believed it was the solemn duty of a political party to redeem the promisis upon which it obtained power and on this point he re ferred to the President nominating and the Senate confirming officers for the ter ritories and the District of Columbia who were non-residents thereof, in vio lation of the principle of home rule and the explicit provisions ol the Chicago platform. He referred to the refusal ol the House to rceal the federal tax upon State bank circulation, such repeal huv ing been expressly fnvoicd in the na tional plallorm; while the same House went out of its way to inject the popu listic income tax into the Democratic tariff bill, "and," be said, "we are now asked to ratify that portion of such ill inconsistent action." "For one," said the Senator, "1 pro test against the repudiation of the prom ises of the Democratic party in order to adopt and carry out the promises of the populist party. Tbe income tax is a war tax; it has never liccn approved by vote of the people and there is no genuine emergency calling for its adoption. It is unlair to those who might desire to sup port the main features of the appropria tion or turiff measure to be obliged to ac cept a questionable provision foreign to the principal subject matter of the bill tscll: orelsc to record themselves in oppo sition to the whole bill. If the Democratic Congress is to be permitted to repudiate well established Democratic principles and to enunciate new ones without the sanction ol the national convention and to compel their support ns a test of tbe party fealty, we may next expect to hear of tlx adoption in the tarilT or ap propriation bill of Henry George's single ax theory or a provision abolishing all custom houses and resorting to fed eral taxation instead of tariff for revenne, or providing for the assumption of gov ernment control and management of all telegraphs, railroads and banks ol the ountry, or the adoption of any other wild and visionary scheme of socialism with the paternalism, or populism which the mujority may sec fit to sanc tion." It took Hill two und threc-nuartcr hours to read his speech. It was well understood, be said iu conclusion, that, the Senators intended to vote on the in come tax sections not according to their convictions, but according to the decree ol the party caucus. He trusted that such a humiliating spectacle would not be witnessed. It was even boasted by some, nc sain, that the income tax was the best feature ot the tariff bill. II that were so, then he could only say iu the emphatic language of the Senator from New Jersey. Smith: "Und help the Dem ocratic party." CRISP NOT ON DECK. The House working ou The Anil Option Bill. Washington, June HI. speaker Crisp was still unable to discharge his duties today and Representative Bailey again took the chair. Several bills passed under requests for unanimous consent. At 1 o'clock the House proceeded, in committee of the whole, to consider the anti-option bill,Grosvcuor being the first speaker. He advocated passage of the bill.
