him in week. The week passed. He
replied TO it that his patient needed care
a few days longer. He was not an un.

Tue funeral Of the brilliant and Crrat.
ic DR.. orcstes A. Brownson took place in
Detroit yesterday. He had a remarkable
career. Born in Vernon. more than sew
enty.tWo years agS his father died when
he was an infant and at six years old he
was placed with an aged couple 10 be
brought up, The circumstances Of his
early life undoubtedly had much to do
with his after history. The couple were
strict New England COngregationalists
and the boy was brought up under
strict Puritan regimen. Speaking Of
that period DR.. Brownson said
that properly speaking he had no
childhood. brought up with old people
and debarrel from all the sports, plays
and amnsemens Of children, ! had the
mannets, the tone and tastes Of an old
man before I was boy. A sad misfOr.
tune; for children form one another, and
should always be suffered to be children
as long as possible. Both childhood aud
youth are quite too short with us, and
the manners aud morals Of the country
suffer for ii.
At nineteen years old he joined the
Presbyterian Church; then became q
Universalist and achieved widespread
reputation as preacher and cOntrover'
sial writer; finally landed in the Roman
Catholic Church and wrote in the inter
cal Of that church with 80 much ability

lierccly assailed by Roman Catholic as
well as Protestant writers. lie leaves

The PreSidenrs Veto OF the sala.
ry Bill.


General Grant has at least been con-
.istent in yetOing the bill reducing the
salary Of his office to s95,OOO per annnm
the salary Of his predecessors. He is
not open to the charge Of grinding his
ownax in 10 doing, farther than keeping
himself on the record may SAVIOR Of such
grinding. Having approved the bill that
raised his own salary.to $4,000, II would
look ungrucious towards his successors to
approve bill, now that he is going out,
to lower il 10 the former Staudard. The
salary OF $4,000 looks mighty large to
the private citizen who works hard for
one fftieth Of that amount, but, histori.
cally considered, it diminishes in its
proportions a good deal. 1t ia said
oiwashinglon that he exactcd the strict
ca, economy on his estate and in his
home management in order that he might
serve his country and not impair his
private fortune. Jefferson was well OF
Ehenhe went into public lie. He inher-
tied 1900 acres, which he increased to
1000. His income, independent Of his
farm revenue, was $1,000 a year. His
siie's dowry was 10000 in cash. Had he
Ieit public life alone and attended to his
estate he would havc been rich man. His
public career closed in 1902. For nine.
teen years lie was absent from Monticello,
and seven Of those years were passed
abroad. He returned to find his estate
ruined, his property Sqnandered, hia for.
tune scattered. All attempts to retrieve his
fortune were in vain. He was adjudged
abankrupt. New York city sent him a

We made the following remark:

This remark has more applicability 10

the necessity that would be laid upon the

more decided now than twenty days ago.
Since then the call has been Issued for a

The Demands Of the Labor Con.
VentiOn.

PITTSBURGH, April -10.-The National
Labor convention met In Schillcrs Hall
at $40 this morning. The Committee Of
the Whole was dissolved by vote, and
the regular order OF business taken up.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
revised series Of resolutions, which were
read and acted upon seriatim, As adopt
ed by the Convention, they urge upon
Congress the necessity Of repeating the
3urlinRame fraaty, misunderstanding ttrv- ef-

slave trade. f .sy-af.- slf, u
They call for periodical publication Of
thee OF manufacturing all kinds Of ma
chinery, and ask for the incorporation in
the patent laws a provision that all manu-
facturers, OF patented articles shall sell
said articles at n certain limited but just
profit over the cost Of manufacture; they
demand OF Congress strong protective
tariff, and ask that the regulation OF the
tariff duties be such as 10 protect home
industry against foreign competition.
They declare in favor Of the election Of
the President Of the United States by
the popular vote Of the people. They de-
mand OF Congress and legislatures strict
enforcement of the eight-hour law and
the enactment Of stringent usury laws.
They heartily condemn the "store order"
system as practiced by manufacturers,
and also the prison contract system Of
labor, and also acknowledge debt Of
gratitude to Governor Tilden, Of New
York, for his veto Of the said system.
They ask that Congress shall enact laws
to give money due for labor precedence
over all other claims, and that the gov.
ernment, both State and National, shall
poss stringent laws against all unjust
discrimination on the part OF common
carriers under penaltyof forfeiture Of
charter. They recommend q liberal sys-

upon the different States to pass such

workmen in every branch OF industry.
After considerable discussion the con-

appealed to all workingmen to so
unite as to attain the advancement Of the

THE Coming Conference ni Rev
York.


Those Republicans who always believe
in running with the "machine" men Of the
party will probably turn up their noses
at the call that has been made for con-
ference in New York. The ax.grinders
and bunmers OF the party will all look
with dsfavor on that conference. What
they want is the nomination Of some man
who will give them an Office and with
whom they are already in some sort Of di.
rect OF indirect intercourse looking 10
that end. They have no use for man
who will simply represent the prevailing
feeling oil the disinterested Republican
masses for reform. Their beau ideal OF
candidate is a dispenser Of political
aims. No odds who this man may be, II
they can only get hold Of him in time to
fleet an understanding. They are not
particular as to the man so that the un.
derstanding Is effected. They look
upon the New York conference as
an irregularily-as something that is cal
culated to interfere with prior under
Standing in reference to the Offices. With
them an election means business.
No SO, however, with the men who have
called this conference at New York. Not
50 with the large mass Of public senti.
nent that has found expression in that
call. To all such 1t does not mean busi'
ness, in the dollar and cent Specification Of
that term, but only in the sense Of a sim
cere and earnest effort TO so bring to the
surface theu we'll understood sentiment
of the Republican party as regards re-
cent events al Washington City, as 10 un.
mi,takably disclose to the men who, for
private ends, will seek to control the Gin
ciunati nominations the danger OF defeat
at the polls in case Of their success in
Convention.
