New YORK, Aug. 15.-Ex-Judge Cardozo,
representing the Breadwinners' League, inde-
pendent party, has issued a call for State
convention at Albany ON September 25. The
call says, among other things:
''The two old parties, owned by railroad
and moneyed monopolies, will never willing
ly permit the great issues which we advocate
to be made State or national questions, al
though the great labor, agricultural and COM
mercial interests peremptorily demand their
consideration. The Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders are in conspiracy and union
with monopolies. Even the judiciary is un-
der this baneful influence. The instruments
of corporations .notoriously become the

ical organizations Ex-Secretary Zach.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 13.-The situation
of affairs here has not materially changed
during the last three or four days. All ex-
citement concerning the strikes has died out
and IL 1t were not for the military, matters
would be dead enough. A battery of artillery
from Fort Leavenworth arrived here yester-
day. Tt is fully equipped with men and
horses, and Is parked with the balance Of the
United States troops at Lee Park.
On Saturday a large secret meeting Of min
ers was held at Mill Hollow, about two miles
from this city, and 1t subsequently transpired
that they met for the purpose Of appointing
committees to visit the farmers in the county
and solicit contributions Of produce. Yester-
day morning several wagons were driven off
into the country and returned at night loaded
In all cases, it is said, the applications made
by the men were mild and respectful This
way of getting provisions Is being adopted
all through the county, and some OF the COM
mittees report that they will soon have
enough food on hand to keep the miners all
the winter.
One element at work in furthering idleness
is of political nature. There are five county
offices to be filled this fall, among them q
sheriff and Judge, and the struggle bids
fair to be very fierce. Demagogues are court
ing favor with the strikers in the hope OF get
.ting their votes, and these men are using all
sorts Of means to make the strikers believe
that they are their only friends. They coun-
sci unwise action, and in other ways retard
the early resumption OF work.
Gov. Hartranft, with his staff, left the city
yesterday. 1t is understood that he is strongly
in favor of having a military post established
in this locality. -Four regiments of the State
militia are still here, besides the regulars

There are, however, a numbero of former Prus-
sian officers who have embraced the Sultan's
service. Mehemet Ali of Magdebrua is the
commander of the main Turkish army at
Shumla. Blum Pasha, after serving in the
Prussian army with distinction, went to Tur-
key thirty years ago, and despite many in
trigues, rose to very high rank. He now
commands at ,Varna, after having recently
been employed in strengthening the defen-
sive power of the quadrilateral fortresses.
Next to him in rank and influence stands
Reschid Pasha, a son of a Lutheran minister
named Streckey, yet remembered among his
old comrades of the Prussian artillery as
very gifted and good-natured, but somewhat
dissolute fellow When quite young officer
he became SO involved in debt as to be unable
to meet his obligations, and was therefore
obliged to throw up his commission. Moltke
recommended him to some OF his Turkish
friends, who soon obtained for him an inferior
post in the Turkish army, from which he has
risen to his present dignity.

statement, in which he maintains his as
sertion previously made that but u compara-
lively small area of arabic lands Is now owned

States into three regions with respect to agri-
culture-the humid or arable the sub-arid

cludes the country east of the line from the
western point of Lake Superior to the
Gulf, the United States owns no lands not
taken up. The belt of country, $50 miles in
width, from Canada to the Gulf, adjoining
that belt on the West, is the s1b-arid division.
In this the United States owns considerable
quantity of land which may be cultivated by
irrigation. West of that In the immense arid
belt extending from the Rocky Mountains into
Eastern California, only two per cent OF the
land can be cultivated, and of this one per
cent has already been taken up.

feeling against English haughtiness and for
the glory OF all Americans, paraded through
the principal streets and plazas, amid the
widest enthusiasm, while from the balconies
along the route flowers were strewn in profu-

Especial to the Democrat
CINCINNATI, Aug. 1g.-The Gdsettes Wash
ington special says that the officials of the
Indian Bureau say there are many obstacles
in the way of the adoption of the Canadian
Indian policy Canada has but 81 900 Indians
who are assigned to territory Of considerably
greater urea than the entire United States,
and where game is abundant, and upon which
white settlements encroach but little. Under
such conditions Canada naturally has less
difficulty with the Indians. The United
States, on the other hand, has an Indian
population of $4,000, which, according to the
latest enumeration, Is increasing annually at
the rate Of about seven-tenths Of one per
cent, and most experienced Indian officers
say there are at least 25, 600 more Indians to-
day In the United States than when the
whites first settled this country, so that the
notion that the Indian problem will be solved
by gradual decrease of Indian population
is fallacy. These Indians are crowded into
territory which is each year becoming smaller,
which has become almost destitute of game,
and where Indians constantly meet the ag-
gressive and determined pioneer.
Indian officers say that, in view of this diff
ferent condition. the Canadian system cannot
be adopted in this country, and Secretary
Schurz seems in u great measure to share this

DR.. A. s. Packard, Jr., Secretary of the

through portions Of Colorado, Wyoming,

rently the same causes as i'm Kansas and

In the fall OF 1876 eggs were laid in profusion

20 and 30 large swarm flew over Julesburg,
Colorado, on the Union Pacific railroad, and
were seen seventeen miles west of that point
flew from the south, probably from Texas.
Along the Missouri river and the line OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad no young locusts
We're seen, and it is probable that few locusts
developed in Dakota this season, unless in
the eastern portion Light swarms, however,
were seen flying from the east at Fort Peck,
as early as June 49, also at Wolf Point, on the
Missouri, and at Bismarck, June 21, and a few
were seen at almost the same date at James
town, Dakota. These apparently came from
Minnesota and Iowa If SO, it shows coupled
with the fact of the Texan swarms observed
in Colorado that the return westward migra-
tions Of the locusts from the border States
extend to the base of the Rocky mountains,
from Colorado to the United States northern
boundary line. 1t results from these observa-
tons that over an immense area in the
Northwest, supposed to have furnished
the swarms which have hitherto devastated
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, ow-
ing to the wet, cool, backward weather this;
spring, there were no young locusts deveI-
oped, if many hatched. Should the present
exceptionally cool and wet spring and sum

we may reasonably expect that the border
States will not be invaded to an alarming ex-
tent next year. 1t also appears somewhat
doubtful whether extensive swarms will in

Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri this summer

fly east from the Black Hills and Yellowstone

How the Bureau system Original ed-The
Conflict of Authority.
We have reason to belisvs that the impression
is general that the bureau system OF cur city
government originated with the Radicals. Such
is not the case, however, although II was during
their reign Of misrule that 1t was first put into
operation, and doubtless for that reason and the
unlimited robberies committed under the system
that IL has probably brought some disrepute to IT,
But the system originated with the Real Estate
Association in 1868, who had become dissatisfied
with the aldermanic system and the cost of rum
ming it. A committee was appointed, our present
Mayor being one OF its members, who spent sew
eral weeks in perfecting system of government
which would be simpler and more economical,
and one OF
THE MAIN FEATURES
OF which was that the Administrators, three or
four in number, besides the Mayor, should receive
rst-class salaries in order to secure men OF abili-
ty for the positions. When the plan had been ac-
ceptsd by the association, Warmoth, who was then
the de facto executive Of the State, proposed to
them that he would get the Leg stature to pass
an act putting it into operation, a proposition
which would have been very acceptable but for
the rsual difficulty with Warmoth, proviso-that
he would appoint the Administrators, whom the
association would accept. The association told
Warmoth that he might Ego to D4nziger's", or
any other dry goods establishment, and the mat
ter was dropped. Subsequently the system was,
with some modif eations, adopted by the carpet
bag legislature, and we were given anders and
his administration, that have cost millions OF
dollars to our people.
We mention these facts only as matter OF his
tory.
In conversation with Mayor PiIsbury, his
honor told us that when he was in Chicago much
curiosity was manifested by rome Of the leading
men there about our Bureau system. The ex-
PLANTATION OF our Mayor created mucn surprise
that such system existed anywhere. and even
ELECTED admiration. One gentleman even de-
clared that he would give Eve thousa nd dollars
as bis share to have such q system established
in Chicago.

D'Hemecourt comes up before the Council to-
morrow As we have said before, the Indications
