LABOR PHILOSOPHERS,

New YORK, Aug. 26.-The Congress labor
committee met again to-day, and Mr.. Hewitt
read postal card he had received from John
Peters, telling-him ''you have made it point
to gather up all the crazy men Of New York
and show them up as an example of American
mechanics. You are fraud, bad counterfeit
and every intelligent person can see your
game" = --..--sr ~
Charles d. Marshall, ship owner, told the
story Of the decline in the Americaul shipping
trade, attributing it to England getting ahead in
the use of iron, construction of vessels, and
to the navigation laws which crushed
ont the remaining vitality i in the
shipping interests. There Was absolutely no
return to capitalists in the ship owning trade
at present. Our profit is . negative one, as we
only save ourselves by running our ships at a
loss from the greater loss we would sustain by
letting them remain idle. he believed that a
sound currency and abolition Of the navigation
laws would ultimately! bring sped times

and municipal governments was vital neces-

Hereafter.


In after years twilight ghost shall fill 81
With shadowy presence all thy waiting
From lips of air thou canst not kiss the
bloom, Ell
Yet at old kisses will thy pulses thrill,
And the old longing that thou couldst not kill,
Feeling her presence in the gathering gloom
Will mock thee with the hopelessness of
doom.
While she stands there and smiles, serene and
still,
Thou canst not vex her then with PASSIONS
pain;
Call and the silence will thy call repeat,
But she will smile there with cold lips and
sweet,
Forgetful of old fortunes and the chain
That once she wore-the tears she wept in
vain
At passing from her threshold of they feet.
Louise Ghandles Monztota IN Macnilian's.

POstmaster General Key Interviewed
A Cleveland, O. telegram of August 10
says, Postmaster General Key and party ar
rived here from the East on their way to
Minnesota and California. At Buffalo, N. Y.
Postmaster General Key was interviewed
with the following result Speaking of the
rumors of his candidacy as Governor of Ten.
nessee he said: II have never given it very
serious thought as never have aspired to be
governor of Tennessee. As to being assocl-
ated with General Grant on a Presidential
ticket in 1880, the Postm aster General answers
they would have to find something a great
deal worse to say before making him very
angry. With reference to South politics
he said that tendency of the Democracy was
towards an exclusive legal tender currency
and reputation; that the greenback NOV
ment would make no progress at the South
outside OF the Democracy; that the success of
the Southern Democracy in national affairs
would doubtless result in the repeal Of the re-
sumption act and general Generalization of
the financial situation. As to South Carolina
sp .cially, he looked for fair election, and
generally throughout the South, and for Re-
publican gains in Congressman not antici-
pated at the North. Regarding the Southern
war claims he did not think the awards would
be greatly increased in case of Democratic
control of the government, as they were based
on assumption of loyalty during the war, and
nearly all those who are willing to make afi-
davit of loyalty have done So

If all philosophy be true, still there is
