of two comrades from each
Grand Army post, and in addition
was a naval division composed of
seamen and marines from the Brook
Ign navy yard, under command of
Rear Admiral Cooper. In the rear of
the procession were d large number
of trucks decorated with flags, bear
ing immense loads of flowers, a large
proportion of which were contributed
by children of the public schools.
The procession marched down
Broadway to Canal street, where
the divisions were dismissed.
That portion going to BROOKLYN
cemeteries marched over the East
River bridge. When the procession
had passed the reviewing stand, the
president and party were escorted
back to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where
for two hours the president received
a large number of visitors. The day
in Brooklyn was celebrated with
wonted enthusiasm. Flags and bunt-
ing were displayed on the city hall,
court house and municipal buildings,
as well as on thousands of dwellings
throughout the city. Courts, public
offices, public schools and stores were
closed. Cars upon all routes leading
to cemeteries were crowded with men,
women and children bearing floral
tributes for the decoration of graves.
BALTIMORE, May 30-The observ-

Federal offices and all business OK

for the day contemplated review of |

this afternoon, but the weather |
threatened to interfere. Business al

ST. LOUIS, May -Notwithstand-
ing a continuous rain all the fore
noon, Decoration day was observed in
the usual manner at the National
cemetery at Jefferson barracks, four
teen miles below the city. Trains
commenced running about 1 o'clock
and it was 3 o'clock when the cere-
monies began. From two to three
thousand people were on the grounds.
Services were conducted by the Grand
Army of tho Republic, and consisted
of addresses, music and readings from
the ritual, after which the eleven
thousand graves in the cemetery were
profusely streWn with flowers,
wreathes and garlands. Many of the
best citizens of the city participated in
the ceremonies, and were assisted by
d large number of soldiers. The day
was observed as a holiday, and all

great many friends in New York city

RUMORS OF ASSASSINATION.
A great many lying dispatches have
been sent out lately by special CORES
pondents, and by the Associated
Press, about the danger of assassina-
ton lowering around the British min
lister. The dispatches state that
United States soldiers have been con-
tinuously at the legation building
since the execution of the Irish
murdererS, together with a number
of district policemen. A detective has
been detailed to watch Mr.. West, but
the STATESMAN'S attache is positive
that the story about policemen and
soldiers are base fabrications, calcu-
lated to furnish reading matter in the
dull season. Neither Lionel West nor
his family appear to be frightened,
for they are frequently seen on the
streets unattended.

ROME, May 3O.-The Journal de
Rome, commenting on the more
friendly attitude France has shown
recently towards the vatican, says q
rupture between France would de-
prive the former, in the event OF a
triple alliance, of a great source OF
strength. She must choose between
open war with the vatican and break

PETERSBURG, May 3I.-The most
discouraging accounts Concerning
crops in different sections of the state
are being received in consequence Of
the protracted drouth. Cotton is
coming badly and the tobacco plant,
is small, and in some instances drying
up in patches. Ii full crop of to-
bacco is made it will be very late. In
the peanut section many farmers
have been compelled to re.plant in
consequence, and the plant is becom-
ing rotten.
CHICAGO. May 31.-From an inter
view with managers of leading iron
mills in and about this city, IL appears

tomorrow, owing to the failure of the
owners to accede to the Fittsburg
scale. The controversy will not ef<

managers assert that the advantage
rests with them, as the market is in
active and prices only moderate.

GEN. BEAUREGARD gives it as the
result of his personal observation that
the colored people in the southern
states, instead of increasing, are actu-
ally on the decline. He does not re-
gard the increase indicated by the
census returns of 1850, compared with
those OF 1870, as contradicting this
belief, for the reason that the census
Of 1870 Is known to have been grossly
inaccurate. so far as the southern
states are concerned, growing out of
tile incompetent census enumerators
employed in that section. We are in

THE Buffalo Courier. the leading

THE Buffalo Courier, the leading
Democratic paper in western New
York, says:
1.-THE platform of the Kentucky
Democrats and more especially the
tariff planks, will attract aS much at
tention as the gubernatorial nominal
ton. Kentucky is the first important
state in which, since the election of
the new house of representatives
and the reopening of the tariff discns-
sion as consequence of that cleo
ton the Democrats have declar-
ed their views on the question,
The platform upholds in the most
emphatic language the declaration
made at st. Louis in 1876 and Cincin-
natl in 1880. 1t is clear, therefore,
that Kentucky's influence will be in
favor of consistent and courageous
tariff policy. The language of the
next national platform on the subject
may differ from the phraseology
adopted in 1876 and 1880, but there is
every reason to believe the spirit will
be the same, while the objects and
methods of the Democratic policy are
likely to be more clearly defined. In
the tariff discussion the representa-
tive men of Kentucky will participate
in a conspicuous manner and I'M
doubtedly exercise great influence in
the shaping of public opinion"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-06-07

THE Democrats of Ohio deny that
:factionalism is powerful in relation to
the coming gubernatorial nomination.
The Pendleton wing, comprising the
civil service reformers. is pushing
Judge Hoadley. The opposing wing,
He'd by the Cincinnati Enquirer, and,
1t is limited, backed by ex-senator
Thurman, is for Ward, Geddes. or any
body else to beat Hoadley. The fact
that Hoadiey is an interested sup
porter of the new Democratic paper in
Cincinnati, intended as a rival, or
rather to suppiant the Enquirer as a
party organ, perhaps does not lessen
the earnestness of the latter in the
light against him.

DECORATION DAY.
More Generally and Fully Observed
than for Several Years.


than for Several Years:
WASHINGTON, May 30.-On Deco
ration day the departments were
closed and flags on all public build
ings were at half mast. At o'clock
the Grand Army of the Republic,
10000 strong, formed on several
streets, and headed by the marine
band, marched through Pennsylvania
avenue to Georgetown, and passed
over the aqueduct bridge to Airing
ton, where the tombs of the unknown
were covered with flowers. The
graves were decorated at the
soldiers home by veterans there.
Officers and soldiers stationed at the
barracks with Gen. Sherman and staff
met a committee of the Grand Army.
and attended the ceremony in the
grove at the congressional cemetery.
The ceremonies were very simple-a
prayer, a short poem, flowers placed
upon graves, and the company dis
persed.
CLEVELAND, May 30 Memorial
day was observed with the customary
ceremonies throughout northern
Ohio.
NEW YORK, May 3O.-Decoration
day was generally obs erYed. All
banks and exchanges closed, and,
with few exceptions, business was
suspended. The weather was some
what undecided. but the observanc es
excelled previous years. From an
early hour the streets in all sections
of the city resoqnded with the strains
Of martial music, and hundreds of
persons were out in holiday attire to
witness the display. The route

PITTsBURG, May 30.-The iron
manufacturers charge that the action
of the Amalgamated association in
demanding arestoration of the scale
of prices in the Cincinnati district is a
breach of faith and will solidify
manufacturers ranks. They also de-
clare that in case of strike they will
assume the offensive, instead of;defen-
sive, as heretofore, and that the result
will certainly be large increase in
the number of non-union mills, if not
the complete annihilation Of the
Amalgamated association. President
Jarrett denies that the Amalgamatc,i
association has been guilty Of brea
of faith and predicts a strike will moi
last long

THE moral rottenness prevailing in
the army is shocking. Officers hang
about Washington and the other
cities, while there is the greatest alb
sence of military discipline. Gen.
Sherman, it is said, spends his time
telling stories and going on excur-
sions. The officers at Washington do
as they please, and many of them have
been tried for drunkenness. There
are too many of them on the Atlantic
side and too few of them looking after
the Indians in the West and South
west. That there should be some
searching reform in the army is per-
fectly apparent. Military discipline
is as necessary in time of peace as in
the time of war.

INTERVIEWS with prominent re

IN the Boston Traveller, show a strong
feeling in that section favorable to
the nomination of Secretary Bob Lin
coin in 1884 as presidential candi-
date. Of course the Boston Traveller
is in favor of Lincoln. He is a good
man. good enough in fact to be beat
handsomely with the Democratic
nominee, provided it be not Uncle
Sammy or the military ehieftain Han
cock. They are of the past and there
they must remain to insure Demo
cratic success.
