develoned one merit--that of remembering Ms
old Confederate friends and rewarding them at
Government expense.
The law which forbids any increase in the
forces employed on Government work. w'tlin
sixty days of an election, is to be duly respected
in the Navy Department. The increase VIII
no made between this and September /,
and it will be liberal one. Accoro-
ing TO the information given out yes
terday "work will be resumed In all the
.sNayy Yards as soon as the reorganization OF
"tbe forces mas been completed" The old en-
ployes were nearly all discharged three months
ago. and the reorganization means the
employment of Democrats properly vouched for
nv tbe leaders. In the case of the Brooklyn
ward so many men were allowedto each Assem-
blv district leader in the two cities. The longer
the d" reorganization is put OIL, so long Us IL is
made before the beginning OF the Sixty days'
the more money will be available and the more
men will be in the pay of the Government on
November 8. OF course all this Is in the inter-
est of reform and has no connection with the
coming election.
Those persons who are circulating reports
about the country to the effect that Generai
Grants remains will ultimately be removed 10
Washington are not engaged in credItapie
work, nor are they exhibiting any
great respect for his memory. Such
reports are calculated to impede the coliec-
ton of suitable fund with which
to erect a National monument In TINS
city. There is not the slightest foundation Tor
such reports. The dead hero expressed no
desire to be buried in Washington. The
family are well satisfied with the site they
chose for his tomb, and are panied over these
mischievous statements of unthinking friends.
The Monument Fund has now reached over
$40, 900, a sum, however, hardly creditable to
New-York, or to the country. The reorganized
Executive Committee has gone to work with
energy; and it is to be hoped that the people
will awake to proper appreciation oil their
Obligations in this matter.

The treatment OF Maxwell the man charged with
the murder OF Preller at ST. Louis presents some
strange features. Since his arrival in the United
States he has been followed and mObbed by report
and sight-seers and on reaching st. LOUIS he
appears to have held u sort of evee in the Office of
tho Chief of Police 1t Is said "A public reception
was held IN tho Chiefs office all the morning
There was continual stream of prominent
citizens, politicians etc., and each one intro
duced co Maxwell he bowed stitilY.' 1t seems in
order 70 inquire the meaning OF all this Why was
Maxwell given pubic receptionf Does st. Louis
always honor people accused of horrible murders IN
this wayi Aud wnat business had ali the promi-
nent ctlzens politicians. etc.," with this manf Did
they mean to give him assurance thai they believed
him Inmocenti If 20, it was unheard of proceed
ing, and the moro amazing because the evidence
against him is remarkably strong, if not conclusive.
But If mere Idle curiosity moved rhem the spectacle
of tnis reception becomes discredltab in the ex-
treme Maxwell should have been locked up at
once like any other man under arrest on capital
charge 10 make a show of him, or to let him make
a show of himself was indecent and improper.

the views of the rank and file of their party in To-
lation to Mr.. Cleveland that they could hardly do
better than to incorporate it IN the plank of the
platform that is to be devoted to the Administra-

to inserting rhyme in the plank the verse might be
turned into prose and made to do service thus:

The restoration of passenger rates on the
New York Central and West Shore railroads
is good news for stockholders and unwel-
come information for travellers Siatis-
tics of the number of persons who have traV-
elled over the roads during the time Of the low
rates, as compared with similar period OF the
restored rates, will throw some light on the
question as to how many persons travel simply
because the rates are low. The official reports
of receipts would indicate that the number Is
not large.

Honoring Distinguished Dead.

MONTREAL, Can, June 12.-It is esti-
mated that at least 10000 people were in
the church Of Notre Dame this morning.
The ceremony was most impressive. The
dead archbishop lay in a magnificent coffin,
his head resting on pillow Of satin slightly
raised, so that his features were exposed to
the gaze Of the faithful thousands. His
mitre, stole and cross lay at his
feet The whole was elevated on
magnificent catafalque, surrounded
by hundreds of lighted tapers.
Throughout the night members of the
alteration nocturn remained with the body,
reciting prayers for the dead. Punctually
at o'clock the services were begun. The
officiating clergymen were Bishop Williams
of Boston, Bishop Wadham of Ogdensburg,
Bishop Fabre of Montreal and Bishop Du-
hamil of Ottawa. Archbishop Tache of
Winnipeg preached the sermon. After the
service at Notre Dame the funeral pro-
cessiOn formed and proceeded to the church
OF NOtre Dame Delite, where the remains
of Mgr. Lartique, the first bishop of Mon
treal, had lain. These were eXhumed yes
terday, and have ever since been exposed
to the alteration of thousands. The pro-
cess1on, headed by two hearses containing
the bodies OF the archbishop and bishop,
then wended its way to ST. Peters cathe-
dral, where another imposing ceremony
took place, after which the remains OF the
two bishops were laid to rest within the
same vault. The streets through which the
procession passed were heavily draped in
black and gold, the pontificial colors. The

Kuntz of New York, who has undertaken
to beat his way from New York to San
Francisco on wager of SO, 900, arrived
here tonight. He is on his way to Chi
cago. William j. Simms accompanies him.
| He has been selected by both parties to see
that the conditions of the wager are faith
fully kept. KuntZ is to make the journey
i'll six weeks, without walking mile or
spending cent of his own money. 1t he
WINS half the money goes to him. He
tells the following story as to how the trip
was arranged. He spent great zeal
of his time at the stock yards, where
he frequently entertained the drovers with
the recital of his travels. Zone OF them,
Mr.. John Bensinger, seemed to take es-
pecial delight in listening to me, said
KuntZ. ''AbOut two weeks ago he was
sitting down town in saloon with some
friends and finally the conversation turned
upon early times. Several related their
experiences and hardshipS and one of them
told how he went to Texas one time from
New York, and beat his way back for a
great distance, stopping on the road to earn
a few dollars with which he used to buy
railroad tickets toward the end of his trip.
| 1t took him three months to accomplish the
trip. 'Pshaw! that's nothing, interrupted
| Bensinger. L know man that can beat

related something about dead-heading.
Everybody doubted the story. I'll produce
the man and back him for money that
he'll do all [ said,' exclaimed Bensinger.
| 'Pll bet 81, ,00O,' John Holmes shouted, that
he can't do it, Bensinger asked time until
the next day, and meanwhile he consulted
me. After we talked it over, he offered to
bet So, 600 that would beat my record by
two weeks, and the wager was accepted.
The conditions were that | was to start on

A Mob Objects TO prohibition.

SPRING VALE, Me-, June 12.-The
trouble which has been brewing for some
time over the enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law eliminated last night in the organ
iZation of mob armed with revolverS and
stones and attacks upon a number of houses
in which windows were smashed and
other damage was DONE The gang went
to the house of William H. Frost,
about quarter of mile from the village,
and sent shower of rocks
through the window, accompanied by a
volley Of bullets from revolvers, fired in
reckless disregard of the sleeping family
within. Taking the direct road to the vii
lage, the mob next stopped at the house Of
John W. Frost, trial justice. Here shots
were fired into the house, where women
children and old men were sleeping. For
tunately no one was hurt, but the windows
were demolished. The house of G. II.
Roberts was next visited. There also the
windows were smashed and the furniture
damaged. The residence of Wilson
Cheney, prominent clothing dealer, was
also treated to q yolley of rocks.
The final effort of the mob was made
against the office of the Advocate. The
editor of this paper sleeps in the Office. A
perfect fusilade was kept up, and bullets
rained into the room. The editors only
offense was the publicationwithout comment
Of the liquor trials. By what seemed a
miracle he escaped injury. The raiders
then disbanded. Much excitement was
shown this morning, and the sheriff of the
county was telegraphed for.

Pittsburg Leader a forfeit of $500. He is
willing to make either the Pittsburg Leader,
New York Clipper or Boston Herald the
final stakeholder, and says: ''If Mr.. Han
Ian means business, will meet him at any
place and time he names to sign articles of
agreement and make arrangements for the
race"
Teemer is arranging for a grand regatta,

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Editor Nc
Fadden of Steubenville, o., has been here
On fruitless mission. 1t appears that the
postmaster at Carrollton, the county seat of
Carroll county, in Ohio, combines news
paper editing with mail distribution. Dur
ing the campaign the postmaster aforesaid,
in his editorial capacity, scored Cleveland
rather vigorously after the Maria Halpin
scandal, and said: ''If Cleveland should
unfortunately be elected no decent woman
would be found inside the White
house." Such titbits as this
were of frequent occurrence. So much so
that Editor McFadden culled about two
columns thereof, and came on here to get
the writer bounced out of his postoffice
worth in the neighborhood of 5000. Re-
Gently. by special arrangement, Mr.. Nc
Fadden had an audience with the first as
sistant postmaster general. The extracts
from the paper were submitted. The case
against the postmaster was discussed. Fin
ally Mr.. Hay told Editor McFadden that
the charges submitted were not sufficient
upon which to base a removal. Editor
McFadden was treated to first-class snub,
and will no doubt engage no further in poll
