A Democratic Rebuke.

John w. Polk, late doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives,, and life
long democrat, has written a letter for
publication, rebuking his party for its
recent acts of folly. His letter concludes
as follows:
The democrats in Congress have done
more to nominate Grant than all his
friends, have, or could do, by affirming
solidly the extreme State Rights doc
trine in their speeches on the Judicial
bill, led ON by the Vice-President and
Postmaster General of the Confederacy.
To that pernicious doctrine must be
charged all the troubles and sorrow that
ever befell the United States, and the
people, far in advance of the politicians
on that question, so regard and con-
denim it. No matter what was intended
when the compact was formed, they
look at it's operations practically, and
Justly charge to it the devastating con-
sequences of the war and the interrupt
ed relation of the sections. But few
advocate it in an unreasonable degree,
except those to whom the civil war fur
nished the opportunity to get into Con-
gress. la the minds of the people it
will be blessed day when it becomes
obsolete, and ceases to be an issue, and
when we are nation with govern
ment not to be shaken and rent asun-
der by the wild leadership of your
Toombses and your Yanceys.
1t is almost beyond belief that the
leading democrats of Congress should
have walked into the trap set for them
by the republicans, led by Garfield.
Their blindness can be accounted for
but in one way, and that is that they
entertain the foolish belief that the
party was returned to power on the
State Rights issue. For one, decline
to follow again to my ruin that ignis
fatus. The speeches made on the floor
of the House by the democratic leaders
to-day will cost the party Ohio in Octo-
Der, and drive it from power in Con-
gress.
Gentlemen, you went too far and
made the blunder of blunders by being
drawn into a general debate on that
question.

regularly between the city and the new
pier. 1t would be hard to estimate the
amount of money in all these enter
prises, but it is number of millions.
The iron pier, with its extensive res
taurants, cost 5000. Two of the ex-
cursion boats cost $I5O,00O each. The
railroads are well built and equipped.
The Manhattan and Brighton hotels are
enormous in size, and handsomely fur
nished, while the smaller houses are
generally substantial structures. Thus
far every investment has been prOfita-
BILE, some of them astOnishimgly so.
The building of a second pier was 81
lently begun this week, and it is under
stood that large hotel is to be part
of the concern. At this rate of going on
the whole island will soon present a
continuous row of buildings. The pres
ent extensive facilities for carrying,
housing and feeding the visitors are in
adequate. OF course the great MAORI
go for day only, but the hotels are
constantly crowded with weekly board
ers."
An elaborate dinner was served in a
private dining-roOm at the Brighton
Beach Hotel at l o'clock Thursday,
after which the party dispersed in vari-
Gus directions, though many accepted
of an invitation from the superintend-
ent of the elevated railway to visit
Central Park and other parts of the
city.
Thus have given brief outline OF
one of the pleasantest meetings and
excursions the association has ever had,
and the executive committee are de-
serving of much credit for it, and es-
pecially Mr.. A. HI. futile of Rutland,
who was unceasing in his labor for the
comfort of all.
AT the st. Nicholas we met Rev. w.
A. Bacon who once done gospel work
in this place. He is an assistant at
that house and done much to make
Vermonters feel at home there, and to
whom we are under obligation for per-
sonal favOrs. Yours truly,
DAVIS.

commercial sphygmograph. Constantly
watching the course of nearly million
merchants, and publishing four times a
wear the results of these observations
in it's volume of reports, it furnishes an
almost perfect record of the country's
condition and progress. This progress
has been SO long in the wrong direction
that the present unmistakable revival
is fit subject for general rejoicing.
You should have seen the crowd at
Coney Island on the Fourth. Some say
there we're 10000 people there. Those
figures l have no doubt were nearly
correct, at any rate the crowd was so
large that everybody, except the true
COney Island enthusiast, was made I'M
comfortable. All went merrily during
the day, but the rain commenced to
come down in torrents about half-past
seven in the evening, and kept it up
for two hours or more 1t spoiled the
fireworks, which announced would be
let off with such blaze of glory. 1t
must be said for the credit of the Island
that every one willing to pay for it had
plenty to eat and drink, and that the
many thousands of excursionists were
carried safely home.
The Bowery Theatre, which has been
the paradise of newsbOys and boot
blacks, and has had an existence of
about fifty years, will, about the first of
September, be changed to German
theatre. When it was opened to the
public on the night of October %, 1926,
there were three other theatres in the
city-the Park, in Park Row, the Cha
than Garden, in Chatham street, near
Duane street and the Lafayette, in Lau-
rens street. The Bowery theatre has
suffered four times by fire, the last
time being on April &c, 1915. The Ger
mans in New York need large theatre
in that part of the town where they
principally congregate-the BOwery
and its immediate vicinity. The Stadt
theatre, which was the home of the
German drama and opera, was big
barn of a place, dirty, dank, redolent
of foul oders, dangerous in case of fires,
unsightly and incOnvenient in every re-
spect. 1t grew out of favor long ago.
Up town on Fourteenth street, close by
the Academy of Music, Adolph Neuen
dOrff, who last winter conducted the
Philharmonic concerts, established a
few years ago his Germania Theatre.
1t acquired great popularity for its
capital presentations of light plays and
Operettas, but it was not suited to heavy
works, and filed only portion of the
demand made by our German citizens.
On Tuesday the Jeannette, fitted out
for a voyage of Arctic discovery by
James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of
the Herald, and named in honor of his
sister, started from San Francisco for
the North Pole. Mr.. Bennett succeeded
so well with his Stanley expedition in
Africa, that he has the best wishes of
New Workers, who appreciate his en-
terprise. Mr.. Bennett does not accom-
pany the expedition. More is the pity

The Late Prince Imperial.
IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL RITES.

CHIsELHURsT, July IL. This day,
memorable in the history of the Bona
parte family, broke gloomily, while
dark banks of clouds away in the direc-
ton of the crags threatened rain. The
common was crowded at an early hour
with visitors from London, including a
large number of French. There were
also present large number of people
from the interior of Kent and the vii
lagos adjacent to Chiselhurst. The
route upon which the funeral procession
was to pass, was lined with dense
mass OF humanity. Away back from
the stately gates of Camden Place to
the modest Roman Catholic chapel OF
st. Mary's, nesting among the midsum-
mer glOries of its enclosing trees, was
to be seen the patient and sympathetic
crowd. A number of workmen from
Paris breakfasted in the house. and
then assisted to drape the lodge-gate in
cOlored hangings bearing the imperial
cipher IN" and crossed with branches
of palm.
Early in the day the vendors of pbo-
tographs made their appearance among
the crowds which thrOnged the common,
lhey offered for sale photographs OF
his English home, Camden place. They
also hawked about gilt medals with
violet ribbons attached, having on one
side the bust and name of the dead
frince and on the other the following
inscription: ''Ne aux Tuileries lie 16
mars; 1896 ); mort au champ d'honneuI
q q, lteiezl, Zululand, lie JUN, 1897
shortly after eight o'clock upward OF
I'3cO members of the metropolitan
ponce were disposed to control the
movement of the immense crowd. Sew
erai enterprisingindividuals had erected
stands in the neighborhood of the route
OF the funeral procession to enable the
respective occupants to view the cor.
tege.
A few minutes past 10 o'clock spe-
cial train from Windsor brought Hel

The Yellow Fever.

Memphis advices of the 18th say there
have been no new cases of fever since
the 10th inst. The fever is confined ia
six sporadic cases. Memphisians are
returning and persons from adjacent
towns are coming in. Twice the usual
number of passengers arrived by the
Brownsville accommodation train this
morning. Judge Ray died Sunday, but
his son is rallying.
The National Board of Health has
issued a circular, inviting the attention
of state and municipal authorities and
sanitary organizations to the fact that
they should without delay endeavor to
secure the best sanitary condition of
places and people under their charge.
Whatever opinions may be held us to
the causes of yellow fever and of the
recent appearance of the disease in
Tennessee and Mississippi, it is best to
act as if it were a disease due to a
specific and particular cause, which is
capable of growth and reproduction,
transpOrtable and may be destroyed by
exposure of temperature above 24O de-
grees Farenheit or by chemical disin-
fectants of sufficient strength if brought
into immediate contact. 1t is also pru
dent to assume that the growth and
reproduction of this cause are connected
with the presence of filth in sanitary
sense of that word, including decaying
organic matter, and defective ventila
ton as well as high temperature. The
cases of yellow fever recently observed
should be considered as due to causes
surviving from last years epidemic and
not to recent importation fiOm other
countries.

A Rumpus Between Whites and Col
ored Folks.

L. Peck cowhided three negroes al
Hinton, W. Va, for scandalizing q
young woman Friday evening, and late
at night eight negroes attacked Peck,
declaring determination to hang him.
Peck escaped and was joined by citi-
zens and railroad men to the number
of rs. This party, commanded by an
enginoer of tho Chesapeake and Ohio
road, drove the negroes out OF tv~.,
several harmless shots being fired
On Saturday reports were in circula-
ton that the negroes had gone to New
River, where n large force of negroes
are employed by the government in re-
moving distinctions from the river, to
obtain IeinfOrcements, and that they
were coming back to hang Peck in re-
taliation for the hanging of Mart Lee,
at Coal Valley, sometime since, and
also for Peck's whipping the three men.
When this report was received, the
whites sent to Coal Valley for SO white
miners to help them. About dark Sat-
urday night one hundred negroes went
up from the river, led by notorious
desperate called Capt. Dick America.
They marched about the town in reg
ular military style, being commanded
by Capt. Dick in loud tones. They
cursed, beloved and made hideous
noises like a band of savagcs. and
vowed they would hang Peck before
midnight. The miners, rs strong, ar
rived on the o'clock train from Coal
Valley and joining Peck's friends at the
depot in Hinton marched upon the ne
groes, who fled precipitately at the first
and only volley.
Ten negroes were caught, stripped OF
their clothing, tied to trees, whipped
and then turned loose. The white men
made every effort to capture Capt.
Dick America, but failed. They open
ly avowed their intention of lynching
him, if they caught him. The miners
remained at Hinton until Monday
morning, when the negroes making no
further demonstration, they returned
to work at Coal Valley. The excite
ment in Hinton from Friday night till
Monday morning was intense.

randum of the financial operations OF
the Government has been issued from
the Treasury, showing a reduction in

The Western Tornado.

ST. LOUIS, July IL. 1t is not known
whether any one was seriously injured
by the wind and rain and lightning
storm which set in here on Thursday
night and prevailed at intervals until
Friday morning. The rain, which is
said to be the heaviest that ever fell
here; flooded cellars and damaged
goods stored therein to large extent,
and the lightning struck several places
in and around the city, but with no Sc
rious results. The storm interrupted
Geographic communication on every
route leading from the city. The dam
age to the crops in the surrounding
country from rain and wind is very Sc
rious, and will inflict heavy losses upon
farmers.
A dispatch from Bellfontaine, Ohio,
says: The storm Friday night covered
track of seven miles wide by ten miles
long, in which all hay, corn, oats and
wheat were Frustrated. The damage
will probably reach $500, 900. One man,
Jules Kavanagh, was killed by light
ming.
A Detroit dispatch states the loss at
Port Huron, Mich, at 100000, and the
Fair grounds at Pontiac at 800, 900. At
Thornton, a small station on the Chica-
60 and Lake Huron Railroad, section
man named Brewer was killed by a
falling tree, and at Inlay City, William
Julian met like fate. A woman nam
ed Worth, living near Thornton, had
the roof of her house blown off and two
of her children killed, she escaping
with broken arm. The Capac town
hall was demolished, also Catholic
church in Columbus, st. Clair county,
while at Ypsilanti great deal of dam
age was done to buildings that we've
being erected. Several barns were de-
stroyed and the crops in that region
were greatly damaged.
A Cincinnati dispatch says that
through Logan and Champaign counties
the path of the storm was ten miles
broad and is strewn with wrecks of
barns and trees, while the growing
crops are laid PROSTATE. The damage
to oats, corn and hay is reported heavy
but few days of fair weather will re-
pair much of it.

The Plot of the Convicts in the Massa
chusetts State Prison.

Additional details, from a new and
very reliable source of that state prison
plot show that it was one of the most
formidable and skillfully arranged plots
in the annals of prison escapes. War
den Chamberlain, who was interviewed
this afternoon, stated that while he had
little fear of the revolt being successful.
yet, as a precaution, he doubled the
guard at certain quarters to anticipate
any emergency. Lewis Jordan, alias
"Fopsey," notorious negro burglar,
who is serving a second term in the
prison, was selected for disarming Off
Ger SimOnds while he should be engaged
in conversation. Similar arrangements
were made for overpowering Officers
Fits and Fraser, after which the $50
convicts in the three shops would be
ready to assist in capturing Conductor
Carruth's train in the yard outside
Henry Lewis, skillful engineer. who
escaped last December by concealment
in a railroad car, but was afterward re-
taken, was selected to run the captured
train.

The New System of Naval Training.

The steamer Wachusett, which was
dispatched on voyage up the Missis-
sippi to enlist boys for the navy, was,
owing to the unusual lack of water, I'M
able to proceed above Vicksburg. She
will return to New Orleans and there
secure the boys, remaining there as
long as the health on the Gulf may per-
NIT. Sailors of the American navy are
now largely of foreign material. Under
the system of training for American
boys for that life the whole personnel
of the enlisted men is being rapidly
changed and enlarged. Among the yes
sells called ''training Ships" now en-
gagged in that work, is the Portsmouth,
which is Oh Il cruise on the north east
ern coast, engaged in enlistment. The
Saratoga, which will in few days also
go up the New England coast, stop
ping at places not visited by the Ports
mouth, and in the fall she will go south
ward, visiting Charleston Savannah,
Pensacola and Mobile to secure south
ern boys. The Constitution, which will
as soon as she can be put in readiness
be added to the fleet of training ships,
the Michigan, which is on the lakes,
and also ordered on this service, will
visit Chicago and other principal ports
in her section. In October next it is
proposed to have an exhibition of ex-
ercise in Hampton Roads of as many of
the training ships as possible. After
this, boys who are being prepared for
man-Ofwar duties will be transferred
to the receiving ship Minnesota at New
York, and from there drafted to differ
ent ships of the navy, the places of the
boys SO transferred to be filled by en-
listment to the complement allowed
under the act of the last session of Con-
gress, which authorized the Secretary
of the Navy to enlist annually $50 boys.

her daughter Beatrice. Leaving the
train. they entered a close carriage and
nroceeded to the house of mourning.
The Queen brought large collection OF
tasteful floral tributes. Shortly after
ward the Prince and Princess OF Wales,
the Dukes of Connaught, Edinburgh,
Teck and Cambridge, the Prince Chris
tian of SAKE Weimar, all in full uni
form. passed under the gateway of
Camden Place. With no little delay
the funeral pageant formed IN the
grounds of Camden Place. The bands
of the Lancers and of the Royal Artll-
lery had their instruments craped and
drums muffled.' The cavalry formed
on either side of the main entrance, and
the artillery took up their station at
the front gate. AS the royal personages
passed into the house they were re-
ceived with the royal salute. AS the
Queen, accompanied by the Princess of
Wales, entered the Empress's boudOir
the boom of the first gun was heard,
while the bands commenced to play the
dead March,"
The procession then emerged from
the gates in the following order: Irish
Lancers, with lances in trail Cadets,
with rifles velsed band the of Royal
Artillery; clergy, bearing the crucifix /;
incense bearers Bishop of Southwark,
supported by two chaplains the coffin,
borne on gun-earriage, drawn by six
horses. The coffin was envelOped In
the French tri-colOr, and on it reposed
a magnificent cross, formed of camellias,
viOlets and heartsease two gunners,
holding an immense wreath the Gift of
the Queen. The pail bearers were the
Prince of Wales, the Dukes of Edin-
burgh, Connaught and Cambridge, and
the Princes of Monaco and Sweden.
The Chief mourners were Prince jerome
Bonaparte and his two sons. The dead
Princes favnrite horse "Stag,n led by
groom, followed.
The horse was draped in a black net
bearing the cipher ''N.," worked in
silver. Then came Uhlman, a cOnfiden-
tial servant of the Prince, and Tomas,
an English soldier, and other attend
ants. Then followed a large delegation
of French mourners, all on foot. The
procession closed with the artillery and
lancers. The Queen viewed the pro-
cessiOn from little pavilion draped in
black in the grounds of Camden Place,
as it wendell its way toward st. Mary's
chapel. Meanwhile, nothing was heard
save the roar of the minute guns and
the crash of the bands. At the conclu
sion of the funeral ceremonies in St.
Mary's chapel, the body of the Prince
was conveyed to the tomb at the side
of the sarcOphagus in which his father is
laid.

Gently in New York, strongly favored
the return of the race to the agricultural
life with which it was so early and so
long familiar. 1t is a very important
step, and reveals the prOverbial sagaci-
ty of the Jew. No country offers such
opportunities for agricultural pursuits
as America, and no profession lies so
far beyond the possibility of being over
crowded as that of the farmer. Amer
lea may have some mission in the full

The Fall River strikers profess to be
hopeful, but the manufacturers are
confident. Every day they are work
ing in new spinners, and as they have
erected temporary boarding houses for
them within the mill yards, so that thew
are protected from the strikers, there is
no scarcity of applicants, and it is ex-
pected that soon the mills will be run
ming at full capacity.
