men from other states have consented to

Das,id>s TOsIED.
Kansas CitU Journal.


I was taken into an ante-ohamber near
by, whore l was permitted to look through
sort of picket fence and survey large
cloth-covered divan. under which was
tho tomb OF David. All, how luminous
this made the words Of Peter. "Men and
brethren, let me freely speak unto you of
the patriarch David that he is both dead
and buried, and his sepulcher is with US
to this day." So hero it was that Solomon
entombed his distinguished father with
all the anomalous pomp and magnifcence
characteristic of an oriental funeral.
Immense wealth was deposited with the
precious clay. Thirteen hundred years
afterward, Josophus tells us, Hircanus,
the high priest, opened one room of
David's sepulcher when he was besieged
and took out 5000 talents. Part of this
sum he gave to Antioches and thus the
siege was raised.
In book written by J. T. Barclay, NJ.
D., there Is O very interesting account of
omb given by his daughter. who was per-
mitted through lady friend to enter and
sketch both the room aud the sarcophagus.
What pity that both this tomb and tho
cenaculum above are in the hands of the
Mohammedans! That they are, the tour
ist is promptly made aware by the buck
scheesh that he Is compelled to pay upon
entering. Although the conduct of the
Catholic scots Is moro scandalous, it must
be admitted that they are not so parsi
monious. The grasping Mohammedans
will not let you SEQ anything without the
payment of fec; while the Latins,
Greeks, and Armenians are. as rule, quite
liberal. 1t is doubly pity, for tho reason
that the historical evidence in favor of the
cUnaculum is so strong. Historians agree
that at the timo Of the Roman conquest
the one building standing on this site
escaped destruction. OF course there are
minor frauds to-day, such az tho stone on
which the supper was eaten, the column
of scourging, &c, but these may be easily
detected. On stated occasions the Latins
are permitted to enter, and then they per-
form the ceremony Of washing the feet of
pilgrims there.

Cleveland Declared to BE General.
Mr.. B. G.. Mcdonald. of tho Tailors'
union, and the father of tho Federation
of Labor, was asked last night what au-
thority Mr.. Edmondston, the carpenter
Of the house of representatives, had for
announcing in an interview yesterday
with reporter, that the labor unions
were not really represented by the reso-
lutions adopted last Tuesday by the
federation denouncing Cleveland for his
vetoes Of laws intended to benefit labor
ing men. Mr.. Mcdonald said:
in 1881 Gabriel Edmondston was pres
ident of the Carpenters union, and q
member of the Washington Federation of
Labor, and was then elected delegate
from this district to the National Fedora
ton of Labor, which met that year at
Cleveland. He said, when elected, that
his union was unable to bear the expense
of sending him to Cleveland, and 1t was
decided that he should 60 at the expense
of the federation, and he did SO. When
the democrats came into the majority in
the house of representatives Edmondston
wanted the position of carpenter of the
house, and applied to the national federa-
ton for help, and got it, principally
through Mr.. Richard Powers, who was
then president. That body that he asked
then for help Is with US now to man in
our opposition to Cleveland, and will do
all that can be done to defeat him."
In regard to Gen. Buffers position as o
candidate for the presidency Mr.. Melon
aid said: HE has lost all claims on our
support, all his vouchers, In fact, by going
into the Chicago convention, and labor
looks upon him to-day as mere political
trickster, and will not support him"
Mr.. j. p. Hamilton, the ex-president Of
Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101,
said in relation to the same matter,
"When Mr.. Edmondston states that the
resolutions adopted by the Federation Of
Labor were concocted by political trick
sters and government employees, he makes
statement no knows is false in every
sense. When he cannot run an organiza-
ton for his own ends then he attempts to
destroy it after he has got all out of it he
wants. He is indebted to the national
and local fcderations for his position at
tho capitol. and in order now to servo his
masters he seeks to SOW the seeds of dis
cord through the rank and file of the men
who are opposing Cleveland for his inf
deity to tho workingmen of New York.
Every statement he makes is false, and
he will have to account for it"
