The Anti-Saloon " Movement,

The anti-saloon Republican move
ment which was started in New jersey
and has since received the approval O.
Republicans in several other States !,
to be formally inaugurated in national
form ola convention to be held in Chi.
cago on the 10th of September. at
which delegates are expected to be
present from a majority of the North.
ern States. The object of the move
ment, as stated by its projectors, is to
abridge and counteract the political in
huence of saloon keepers and LIQUOR
dealers in legislation, to consolidate
public sentiment in support of existing
laws Tor the suppression of the ad-
mltted evils of the traffic, and to place
the Republican party on a platform of
earnest sympathy with the work of
practical temperance reform. The
movement will, no doubt, operate to
the prejudice of the party, temporarily,
III some localities; but, if wisely di-
reeted, it must in the end give that
party an enormous advantage over any
organization which may antagonize its
aims.
The truth is, that the decision of the
question as to whether the LIQUOR in
terest of the country shall be per-
mitted to break down all the muni-
ments Of law and order cannot much
longer be postponed with safety to the
public interests. There is scarcely an
important town or city in the whole
Union IN which this interest is not
openly defiant of law and all the re-
straints of orderly government. In the
Legislatures of many States it is su-
preme, defeating every effort to subject
1t to proper limitations. With un-
matched insOlence and audacitv. it
tramples down every barrier raised for
the preservation of the Sabbath; disre-
CARDS every law prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating drinks to habitual drunk
ards and minors; and even sets at
naught the authority of courts and iu-
rles. Everybody knows that if anv
other business were conducted in such |
orazen contempt of law and decencv.
1t would encounter speedy and utter
extinction. Why should this perni-
clous traffic be treated with leniencv
which no other like pursuit would
command? 1t is high time that good
citizens everywhere should assert
themselves against this tremendous
evil, which is every day acquiring ad-
iitional power, and growing more and
more aggressive. There is surely a re-
erVe potency in an awakened public
ceiling equal to the task of compelling
his liquor interest to obey the laws of
he land and the party which shall.
WITH honest purpose address itself to

A SUMMER SUNDAY.

GOOd-by, sweet Summer day
A long gOod-by;
I sit and watch you go,
Wrapped in your sunset glow
/ love you so
Why can't you stay
You seemed long, long day
At waking time;
So many still, sweet hours,
Such dew upon the flowers,
Such church-bells In their towers.
Ginning away.
Now you are gone sweet day.
How short you were
Your hours seemed to run.
Morning was scarce begun
When afternoon was done,
And gold turned gray.
All. such a dear, good day,
ltshOuld have held
No idleness or fret,
No bad thoughts to regret
wish had not, yet
fear to say.
Good by, dear, dying day,
A last good by;
Never again can we
To all eternity
Just this sweet Sunday see,
Wish as we may.

No other Democrat of his genera

no means thus met with general appro.

traced to his home, and if not TO him

These considerations have qualified the
popular regard for Mr.. Tilden. and
history will make note of them in
making her ultimate estimate of him
as a statesman, politician, patriot.
But for the present criticism is husbed
To-day finds his cOuntrymen reaecting
only upon the great good that was in

IKE loss of so much sterling worth
That his death is a most serious calam-

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-At the solicitation
Of Z. ID. Armour, L. =. Barry and NJ.
j. Butler, met him at the big packers
Office, to hear him explain his position re-
garding the difficulty at the storkyards.
He denied having been directly or in.
directly responsible for the presenc. of
the Pipkerton men at the stockyards.
Nevertheless he approved of the fact that
they have been brought there and would
Contribute toward keeping them there.
They atforde | a protection that could not
be otherwise obtained. 1t was false hat
he was III the way Of an amicable adjust
ment Of the difficulties In company with
other packers he had made a revolt
against what he was justified in believing
an imposition on the part of the men.
MIR. Barry suggested that there was no
danger OF an outbreak. This Mr.. Aller-
ton and MIR. Armour denied. Armour
expressed sympathy for the men locked
out, and expressed a fear that the strike
would end in bloodshed Barry said he
was unable to see how the Packers Asso
citation could refuse a settlement on a
slight technically, wh,n such great in.
terests were involved.
A messenger here handed Mr.. Armour
a telegram announcing that the last batch
OF knights in his employ had been called
out. He read the message aloud, aud
tearing the paper in shreds, closed the in
terview with the remark: 1T is ten hours

RICHMOND, Oct. l5.-When the gen.
eral assembly Of the knights OF Labor
went into session, the first business TO be
completed was the election Of the remain
ing general officers, two members Of the
general CO operative board. 1t was expec
ted that this would take but a short time,
and that the consideration of the report
on revision OF :i,e constitution presented
by the COMMITTEE on law would be re
sumed. This, in turn, was to be followed
by reports from other committees, nearly
all OF ~hich are ready to report. Among
the srst to be presented is the report ufthe

Elementary report of the same committee,
in which a plan for a congress composed
of representatives of Knights OF Labor be
established at Washington, be sent cut to
all local assemblies for their approval.
MIR. Beaumont is daily in receipt of letters
both IRON Knights of Labor and others,
commencing his idea. The committee on
the state of the order, also endorses the
general master wurkman's address to the
general assembly, and recommends en-
dorsement OF the report OF Charles IL.

general master workman, to represent the

appointed to investigate the causes and
effects Of the Southwestern railway strike.
In his report Mr.. Litchman recites that
hearings were held at various places in
Texas and Arkansas, and says: The
testimony in behalf OF the railroad was
mainly to show what great damage had
been caused by the strike to railroad
property and commerce; that it had been
begun on a frivolous pretext, without real
cause; and that the order Of the Knights
Of Labor was directly responsible for al
damage done and all acts Of violence com

A Pitiable Suicide.

MowEAoUA, ILL.,, Oct. ia sensation
was produced here just before noon, when
1t was reported that Alice Hughes, aged
l6, had committed suicide by drowning
in a pond near the house of William r.
Reighley, with whom she has lived for
nearly two years. About two months ago
it was discovered that Alice was encienle,
and within two weeks past there has been
a stir IN the camp, one young man having
been bound over and Others having fled.
This forenoon Alice was sliced with vom-
iting. and later. as Mrs. Reighley says,
she went up stairs to her room. About
IL O'Clock search was instituted, and the
orphan girl was found lying on her back,
with her arms extended. in an excavation
where the water was only twelve inches
deep. A post morton examination will
be held for the purpose of deciding the
actual cause of death.

of Harlem commons in New York have

will file in the United States Circuit Court
Of New York a stupcndous bill in equity.
One h,ir irom Louisiana will appear as
plaintiff, and the other l.4OO known heirs
will appear as respondents. The prayer
OF this bill will be, primarily, for the par.
titlon Of the property among claimants
and a citation to show on what ground he
bases his claim. 1t is estimated that Of
the lao who go into the contest not
over 500 will be able to trace their line
back. After this has been accomplished,
the next step will be enterejectioh suits.
The claimants do not anticipate that any
Of these suits will come to trial as they
expect to compromise with the prt sent
holders of the property. The valuation
of the land is $50, 900, 900 and they will
be willing to settle upon the basis of 20
per cent of this amount. BY special
agreement. four LAWYERS, Judge Knox
and Mr.. Crosby, OF New York, Judge
Briedin, OF Butler, and j. =. McCreery,
of this city, will receive one third. Among
