TGeneral Order, No 13.
l take the liberty of calling the attention or
comrades of the Department Of Vermont, q. A.
r., to the kindred organization OF the 'SOns OF
Veterans"
In other Departments great interest Is mani
tested in this new order, not only among the
sons but by their veteran fathers as we'll.
The Grand Army of the Republic viii soon
pass away, and it is fitting that our children
and children's children should unite in an order
similar in its features, and for like objects.
1t occurs to me that the subject will commend
itself to all comrades, and that our organization
will be strengthened By the growth of that OF
our sons, and that by encouraging them lii TINS
work we help to perpeguate that spirit OF pa
triotism which crushed the great rebellion and
made us united Nation.

respondence with Comrade l. s. Bangs, Junior
Vice Commander-in-C Chief 6. A. r., Waterville,

News publishes the following:
The break in the prices of steel
rails, caused chiefly by the Besse-
mer Company of Scranton, who
quoted them at $42 per ton, have
brought matters to focus, and the
Joliet Iron and Steel Company are
reported to have determined to close
down their works ON or before De-
cember 1st. The same step has been
contemplated by the North Chicago
Rolling Mills Company and other
corporations interested in Bessemer
patents. The president OF the chi
cago company is authority for the
statement that the works on the
north side vii. be closed down De-
cember 18th. The Joliet mansgers
claim that they fear hostile legisla-
ton.
ST.. LOUIS, November 20.-Presi-
dent Hitchcock, of the Vulcan Steel
and Ore Works, speaking of the de-
cline of 25 per cent. in steel rails,

cannot get reduction in the price
of labor and material they will close
their mills and throw out of employ
mept 5000 hands, with pay roll of

Chalmers NOT to be outdone.

JACKSON, MISS, November 90
General Chalmers has fled petition
for mandamus before Judge Whar..
ton to compel the secretary of State
to count his vote in Tate County.
He charges that Mr. Myers, secretary
of State, allowed the returns from
other districts to be inspected, but
refused to let any one see the re-
turns from the second district until
they were counted. He alleges that
the returns were purposely concealed
to prevent any errors from being
corrected during the ten days al
lowed by law for making returns,
and says that the clerical error as
to j. r. s'Chambless' would have
been promptly corrected if the res
turns had not been fraudulently
concealed The commissioners of
election of Tate County have sent
an alrended return, showing that
the votes were cast for j. r. Chamless
and not for j. r. Chambless.

Senator Riddlebarger interviewed.
speoial to the Cincinnati Commercial

WAsHINGros, November 1S.-The Critic
has an interview with Ssnator-elect Riddle
berger, of Virginia. In answer to ques-
ton as to what he thought was the cause of
the Republican defeat at the late election,
he said:
Not being in full fellowship with either
of the two great parties, l, of course, can
not speak from the standpoint of either.
In my opinion, the people are becoming
more and more independent every day.
They..are tired of boss rule in parties, as
well as in other things.
Senator, what about the reorganization
of the Senate after the 4th of March!'
suppose there will be no trouble
about that. The Republicans will reor-
ganize it without any difficulty, as they will
have majority of two over the Democrats
without the aid of the Independents
'sWho are the Independents in the Sem
ate after March 4th ?'
Well, myself and Senator Mahonen
"Do you call Senator Malone an Inde-
pendent ?"
s'Oh, yes; he is not Republican, nor is
he Democrat. He is a Virginia Read
juster, who votes and acts with that party
which most nearly accords with his views
on those questions which most interest his
immediate constituency. So far, the Re-
publican party has thus acted"
ssHow about yourself, Senstor?"
Il shall act independently in all matters of
legislation. I shall not tie myself to any
party. l shall vote and deport myself in
the Senate as to, in my judgment, best
serve my country, regardless of party or
factions. My greatest desire is to see a
united, happy and prosperous people. /
have no enemies to punish or friends to re-
ward. belong to no faction, and shall not
hamper myself by joining in the disputes
and differences of either party"
How do you think Virginia will vote in
the next Presidential contest ?"
That depends upon the circumstances
and the nominees"
''Who do you think will be chosen Sec
retary of the Senate 2"
Z am not exactly prepared to say. Mr..
Gorham has probably the inside track; but,
understand me, I am not nominating any
body for any of the Offices of the Senate at
the present time.n

elected Mayor, was ipaugurated yess
terday and the city council, recently
elected, organized. NJ D. Logan
was elected president pro tenn. Act
ing Mayor Walsh, on behalf of the

short address. Referring to the
settlement of the debt question he
said !: eve have effected a settle
ment which secures the bondholder
in all his rights and relieves the tax
payers of all danger of excessive
taxation. The taxes for all purposes
will not be over 2 per cent. in future,
and after next year need not be over
II per cent. We have, by a strict
observance of the rights of the
bondholders, restored confidence,
and to>day the securities of our city
sell for more than double what they
were worth when we entered upon
our duties These are facts, and
ought not to be forgotten.

woman, whose complexion was very
otflsh in hue, arrested and tried for
biting off a piece of large sweet

dence as his sole property. The
woman, after receiving the usual
reprlmand, was discharged on her
promising that in the future she
would let "gentlemen's taters 'tirely
alone" During the trial the Mayor
asked the prosecution how much his
potato was worth, and received from
that rather smart individual this
cunning reply: "Waal, boss, dat de-
pends how hungary a man is.
